The Crazy Son-In-Law

Chapter 317: Self-Inflicted



The news soon reached Starline Bio.

In Yao Cen’s office, Xiao Shun was comfortably lounging on the sofa in the meeting area, pulling up the corners of his mouth after hearing Mai Yaqin’s report.

He chuckled triumphantly, “Self-inflicted, one cannot live.”

“So the formula that Yao Xiaoyu stole from us was fake,” Mai Yaqin had been unaware of this.

“Of course it is. Some people are full of mischief, we must be careful of him, who knows when he might betray us and we will end up counting money for him.”

Yao Cen was in a good mood, a smile on her face as she got up from her desk and went to the meeting area, sitting down on the sofa. She beckoned for Mai Yaqin to sit next to her.

Xiao Shun teased, “The Yao family accused you of stealing their ancestral secret formula, but it seems their formula is not that great.”

“President Yao, Mr. Xiao is taking revenge for you, can’t you see?” Mai Yaqin said.

“He’s not taking revenge for me, he’s taking revenge for himself. Before the Yao family accused me of stealing the formula, he already let Yao Xiaoyu steal the fake one.”

When Yao Cen mentioned Yao Xiaoyu, she still felt uncomfortable. The hurt caused by betrayal from a relative or friend is completely different from that caused by others.

Yao Xiaoyu was somewhat special, she was one of the few people who were both relatives and friends of Yao Cen. She had always stood by Yao Cen’s side and defended her no matter how the Yao family belittled her. Yao Cen never thought that Yao Xiaoyu would change one day.

Yao Cen then voiced her concern, “I heard that using Golden Essence will cause a rash on the face, I hope it doesn’t harm anyone’s health?”

“That’s their problem, as Mr. Xiao said, self-inflicted, they can’t live. They went to great lengths to harm us, and now they’ve ended up like this, they deserve it.”

Mai Yaqin said indignantly, thinking about how the Yao family had disparaged their products in every possible way, she, as one of the company’s veterans, was also harboring a lot of anger.

“There won’t be any impact on the body, but it might affect one’s mood. Anyone with a red face wouldn’t be in a good mood, and the longer it lasts, the more widespread it becomes.” Xiao Shun said lightly.

“I heard that even the hospitals can’t diagnose it, can you cure it?” Yao Cen asked.

“Of course I can cure the disease I created. But now is not the time. If I cure them, their anger will be extinguished. Let them make a fuss, let them sue, I want those who bullied you to be restless.” Xiao Shun replied.

Yao Cen’s beautiful eyes shimmered as she gratefully looked at him.

“By the way, I plan to take their new factory. Isn’t it that we are short of production lines? Theirs is new.” Xiao Shun continued.

“They will probably realize soon that you are the one who tricked them, they would rather throw it away than give it to us, I know them.” Yao Cen said dismissively.

“They will give it.” Xiao Shun said with a confident smile.

In one month’s time, more than a thousand people developed rashes from using Golden Essence. Even though it wasn’t fatal, the Yao family definitely couldn’t withstand this pressure.

The most miserable one was Yao Xiaoyu. As the direct person in charge of the enterprise, she might face more than ten years in prison.

A few days later, because the Yao family’s new company had been shut down, those patients could only sue the Yao family and block the Yao family’s ancestral home to seek an explanation.

The gate of the Yao family’s ancestral home was tightly closed.

The outside was full of various vehicles, and the entrance was blocked.

In addition to the consumers seeking justice, there were also many media reporters.

Yao De was like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously pacing back and forth.

Yao Zhen Shu’s face was ashen. In his lifetime, the Yao family had never faced such a crisis.

Li Chunlian, who was usually eloquent, and Yao Han were both silent and stood aside, not knowing what to do.

“Dad, you have to come up with an idea, what should we do now? There are more than a thousand people, oh my god, just thinking about more than a thousand people with rashes on their faces, not to mention the endless lawsuits, even if we sell ourselves, we can’t afford it.”

“The key point is, if we can’t cure them even with more money, they may even want to tear our heartsout, and what about Xiaoyu?” Yao De spoke in a harsh tone, not caring about seniority at this critical moment.

“It’s all that beast’s fault!” Yao Han gritted his teeth.

Now, they could almost confirm that Xiao Shun had tampered with the formula, deliberately setting a trap for the Yao family.

Thinking about it made them feel ridiculous. The Yao family had been shrewd for a lifetime, unscrupulous for gain, and because of this, they were blinded by huge benefits and fell into the trap so easily.

“What’s the use of saying this now? We need to think of a solution quickly.” Yao De sighed with a worried look.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Dad, how about this, we first take out some money for them to see a doctor, to appease these people, and we can slowly find a solution later. What does it look like with them blocking our door? How can we solve the problem if we can’t even leave the house?” Li Chunlian suggested.

Yao Zhen Shu remained silent. Having weathered numerous storms over the decades, he was at a loss in the face of the current situation.

In these few days, he had called all the relations that could be useful, but no one could help.

Yao De shook his head in despair, feeling as if he was at a dead end.

He said helplessly, “Most of our funds are in the new company’s account, which has been frozen. Due to the large amount of investment in the early stage, the group headquarters also doesn’t have much cash available, and it takes time to allocate funds… more than a thousand people, ten thousand each is ten million, we don’t have that much money.”

A long silence followed.

Yao De’s eyes lit up, “Since it was Yao Cen who deliberately let us get the tampered formula, they should know the key to it, right? They should also know how to cure it, right?”

“What are you trying to say?” Yao Zhen Shu gave him a glance.

“If they have the cure, let them help these people with rashes first, that would solve more than half of the problem, wouldn’t it?”

Yao De looked incredibly excited.

“They have probably been holding a grudge against us since that time, how could they possibly help us.” Yao Han sighed.

“I’ll ask them, as long as they can cure this disease, they can help us solve the current dilemma. I’ll do whatever they ask, even if it means kneeling and begging them.”

Yao De said excitedly, apart from these, as long as the rash can be cured, the anger of these people would be greatly reduced.

As for the issue of compensation, that’s a matter for later. More importantly, perhaps Yao Xiaoyu could receive a lighter sentence.

She was still so young, he as a father couldn’t bear to see his daughter spend the rest of her life in jail. If possible, he would like to take the blame for her.

But the prerequisite is that they must be able to have a peaceful conversation with these patients.
