"Wanru, don't think too much. I'm just in a bad mood. There's no other meaning."
"I must be blind to misjudge you!" Zhao Wanru turned around and was about to leave.
Wen Xuanyang's heart skipped a beat. He reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her back.
"Don't be impulsive," Wen Xuanyang tried to soothe her.
"Let go of me!" Zhao Wanru couldn't bear to listen to his explanation. She shook off the hand that was holding her.
"Wanru..."
"My father is still in a coma in the hospital, and all the shareholders are withdrawing their shares. Won't you even help me? Then why are you stopping me?"
"Wanru, this time the amount of money needed is too large. I can't make the decision on my own."
Wen Xuanyang still looked hesitant. Zhao Wanru couldn't wait any longer. She had to use a drastic measure to force him. "Fine. Since you don't cherish our old feelings, let's break up once and for all."
Their engagement had been well - known. Turning against each other at this moment would push the Wen family into the spotlight, and people would accuse them of taking advantage of others' misfortunes.
"I didn't say I wouldn't help you." Wen Xuanyang immediately hugged her tightly in his arms.
Judging from the current situation of the Zhao Group, the possibility of losses from investment was almost 100%. No one would be willing to take over the mess at this time.
Moreover, he had also seen the popular video on the Internet recently. If it was really Zhao Wanru who had deliberately drugged someone, how vicious she must be!
All her tenderness and kindness in front of him were just a false pretense.
He preferred to believe that Zhao Wanru had been framed.
Zhao Wanru didn't know what was on his mind. Driven to a dead end, she didn't have time to think too much. "Okay, I'll wait for you to discuss it. You must save my father."
Half an hour later, Zhao Wanru received a call from Wen Xuanyang.
"Wanru, my father said no."
"Why?" Zhao Wanru panicked. "What about you? Won't you help me either?"
Wen Xuanyang hung his head. "You know that my father always has the final say in company matters. I don't have the right to make such a big decision."
The slanting sunlight shone through the window, casting a shadow of him on the table. He had already investigated clearly that it was really Zhao Wanru who had drugged someone.
"Now there are attack posts everywhere on the Internet. If we get involved in this mess at this time, not only can't we save your family, but my family will also be implicated."
"A mess? You think helping me is getting involved in a mess?"
Wen Xuanyang frowned. "It's just an analogy."
"I think that's exactly what you think!"
The online boycott was in full swing. The Zhao Group was doomed this time. Zhao Wanru was really panicked. These people clearly wanted to wipe them out.
She wouldn't believe it even if she was beaten to death that there was no one behind the scenes pushing things forward.
The shareholders of the Zhao Group who hadn't sold all their stocks were extremely anxious and regretted their decisions.
The employees of the company were also in low spirits. They were all in no mood to work. The company's products couldn't be sold and were all piled up in the warehouse, which had affected their salaries.
Zhao Wanru came back from the hospital and rushed straight to the company.
Fortunately, several senior executives cultivated by Mr. Zhao usually were relatively calm. They knew that the most important thing at this time was to stabilize the people's hearts in the company. Otherwise, once the employees made trouble, there would be no room for maneuver.
The originally bustling office area suddenly became quiet. Those who didn't know what was going on looked back and immediately sat up straight and started working.
Zhao Wanru rushed through the office area in a hurry, and immediately there were whispers behind her.
In the office, she made several phone calls in a row, but to no avail. Some of the company's former partners were busy distancing themselves from the Zhao Group.
She had thrown all her dignity away. She had called a lot of people "uncle", but still got no results.
Finally, she called Wen Xuanyang again. At this time, he was the only one she could rely on.
"Xuanyang, I want you to do me a favor, not the one before."
"Go ahead."
"Can you come to the company and help me take care of things for a few days? Dad is not here, and I don't know what to do."
Wen Xuanyang was silent for a long time. "Wanru, I'm also very busy with my work now." The Wen family had already been implicated in the last matter of helping the Zhao Group, but Wen Xuanyang just didn't say it.
"Are you really not going to help me? We'll get our marriage certificate soon. I'm your wife!"
"Wanru, let's put off the marriage certificate for now."
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Zhao Wanru felt as if fireworks were exploding in her mind. "Wen Xuanyang, in your eyes, what am I to you exactly?"
"Wanru, don't be excited. I think it's better for us to calm down first," came the calm voice from the other end of the phone.
Zhao Wanru held the hung - up phone. Tears welled up in her eyes. It took her a long time to calm down.
It all started that night. It was all Gu Sisi's fault. She was the root cause of everything.
Zhao Wanru thought angrily in her heart. She clenched her fists until her fingers turned white, and her eyes were full of bloodshot.
"Gu Sisi, I won't let you get away with this. I swear!"
