Chapter 229 -Driven Mad (2)
Inside the visitor lounge at Yueying, Xi Xiaye’s rigid figure sat on the sofa. She was flipping through the document in her hand while Xiao Mei stood by her side.
The patter of rushed footsteps came and Xiao Mei very quickly looked up at the entrance as Yue Lingsi and Xi Xinyi entered.
“Why is it you!?” When Yue Lingsi saw Xi Xiaye’s figure, her face sank.
Xi Xiaye was too lazy to look at her. She just handed the document to Xiao Mei who understood and passed them to Yue Lingsi and Xi Xinyi.
“Regarding the contract termination, I’m sure Manager Fang has already mentioned it to you. I’ve already signed the termination contract, so you guys need to sign it too. Glory World will choose another person in Yueying to replace you. Also, earlier, a few other shareholders came and discussed Yueying’s current situation with me. We’ve all decided unanimously to remove Xi Xinyi’s right to be an artiste with focused training this year. Besides that, we’d like to strongly recommending changing the main female lead for shows such as ‘Starlight’, ‘Love Song’ and several others. This is the statement that I’ve petitioned for the other shareholders to sign. Please take a look.”
Xi Xiaye’s indifferent voice read out as Xiao Mei then delivered the two documents to them.
“Xi Xiaye, you witch, how dare you hit us while we’re down?!”
Yue Lingsi just took a quick glance at the document before instantly glaring at Xi Xiaye through clenched teeth. She could not keep her angry shout down. Then, she tossed the documents onto the ground in a rage.
Xi Xiaye looked at Xiao Mei who quickly picked the documents up again and handed the contract termination papers to Xi Xinyi who looked deathly pale and bleak. “Miss Xinyi, please sign this!”
“I’m not even hitting you when you’re down. I’m just representing the company to execute the company’s decisions. All of the shareholders’ benefits can’t just suffer a loss from someone who’s not what they seem. CEO Yue, you’re a businesswoman too. Why can’t you think from the standpoint of fellow shareholders and do what’s best for them? If you have any opinions, how about explaining them to me? Getting angry at me won’t solve the problem.”
Then, as if to complement Xi Xiaye, a commotion came from outside.
“CEO Yue, CEO Zhang, and the rest are here. They said they want to see you! I couldn’t hold them off!” The secretary pushed open the door, looking extremely anxious.
Yue Lingsi’s expression changed slightly. She then glared at Xi Xiaye before going outside.
Seeing Yue Lingsi’s figure vanish out the door, Xi Xiaye got up too. Her intense gaze fell onto Xi Xinyi. “Sign it. I’m still rushing to report back to the company.”
Xi Xinyi trembled slightly as she stared at the document in front of her for quite a while. Then, she looked up at Xi Xiaye, her beautiful eyes flashing with a coldness that could not be disguised. Her fists that hid underneath her sleeves tightened.
“You don’t need to act like this. I think there were probably many people who came this morning, asking for you to sign the same document too. If you don’t want Yueying to fall into the wave of being on the verge of closing down again, it’s best that you sign it. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t sell my shares to Jinyi Media, and all the other shareholders seem to have the same thoughts too. When that happens, Yueying will cease to exist very soon.”
Xi Xiaye handed the pen in her hand to Xi Xinyi whose chest heaved. You could see that she was trying very hard to keep her anger down as her eyes instantly flashed with cold hostility.
However, Xi Xinyi knew very well herself that Xi Xiaye was telling the truth. Yueying could not overcome such a huge surge of problems. Because Xiao Mei was present, in addition to the shareholders outside, she took in quite a few deep breaths before finally choosing to compromise!
She took Xi Xiaye’s pen with gritted teeth and swiftly signed her name!
When Xi Xinyi signed the final stroke, Xi Xiaye suddenly leaned forward and whispered softly into her ear, “Your situation is worse than I’d thought. Looking at how sorry you are, I suddenly feel much lighter in my heart.”
“Were you the one who did this this time, Xi Xiaye!?”
When she tossed the pen aside, Xi Xinyi suddenly widened her eyes and glared at Xi Xiaye coldly. The anger that she was suppressing was close to the point of erupting while she looked at Xi Xiaye with hostility.
Xi Xiaye signaled to Xiao Mei on the side. She very immediately understood and put the document that Xi Xinyi had signed away before packing up the briefcase and retreating outside.
“It was you, wasn’t it!?”
Xi Xiaye did not answer, yet her lips had curved into a sneer, the answer abundantly clear.
Xi Xinyi’s expression started to change. Her beautiful eyes were filled with an indescribable fury as both her hands pressed down on the table before her. She glowered at Xi Xiaye and said coldly, “You want to ruin me! I’ve finally gotten to where I am, and you want to ruin me? How evil can you be?”
“I thought you’d still feign innocence and wail accusingly like before, but from the looks of it, the incident this time really has angered you and you can’t seem to accept it…”
Xi Xiaye squinted, her frigid gaze falling onto Xi Xinyi’s face that was almost twisted from the rage. “Compared to all the things you’ve done to me, all of these was just child’s play. You put on that hypocritical mask of yours and plotted for me to fall into all sorts of horrible situations, stealing everything that belongs to me, and even framing me. Aren’t you eviler? I’m just imitating you right now!”
When she heard Xi Xiaye, Xi Xinyi’s face instantly darkened. The sharpness that hid in the depths of her eyes suddenly broke the ice and she fixed her gaze on Xi Xiaye. Her usual gentle voice was enamored in a hint of biting chill as she took in a deep breath and said softly in Xi Xiaye’s ear, “So, you want me to be in this sorry state? Trying to ruin my path to stardom, taking revenge on me? You’ve grown in capabilities now! So what? Weren’t you still expelled by the military academy?”
“I can sue you in court for trying to frame me without evidence! I admit that if it were for the thing with Han Yifeng, I owe you that and I’m willing to compensate you. Yueying’s matter was Grandmother’s decision, yet you took it out on me. Why? Where did you get all this information? It’s all fake! I’m telling you it’s all fake! You’re falsely accusing me and setting me up!”
Xi Xinyi was extremely mad. Even though she tried very hard to control her emotions, she could not hold her fury back. Her face was red with anger and just when she thought about how she was about to be banned forever, she started to lose control.
Xi Xiaye laughed coldly, responding carelessly, “Don’t worry. I will find the evidence. I heard that back then, Yang Jianfeng who framed me seem to have some kind of relationship with your mother and the Yue family. If I count it correctly, he should be considered your distant cousin. Three days before the incident, someone saw you looking for him at the military academy…”
When Xi Xiaye said this, Xi Xinyi instantly cried out in alarm to deny it, “Nonsense! You’re spewing nonsense! I didn’t! I didn’t!”
