Chapter 323: Chapter 0323: The More Chaos, The Better the Spectacle Chapter 323: Chapter 0323: The More Chaos, The Better the Spectacle No one expected that overnight, the highly esteemed eldest daughter of the Sheng Family, Sheng Xueqin, would be arrested for malicious assault. At the time of the arrest, she was overwhelmed with fury and roared:
“Who dares to touch me? I am Sheng Xueqin, the eldest daughter of the Sheng Family. What are you in comparison? Try touching me!”

Despite revealing her identity, the police did not hesitate at all and took her away directly.

It was just a video of a few seconds, yet it caused a tremendous uproar on the internet.

She even attempted to obstruct public duties with such bold righteousness.

–“Such foolishly rich second generations should have been dealt with long ago. What stuff are they made of? Being rich isn’t everything. We live in a society ruled by law!”

–“Good job, police officers. Don’t be afraid of such people. Maliciously injuring others and still being so arrogant.”

–“Such societal scum should not continue to exist. One less to worry about. What trash!”

–“My God, I remember this Miss Sheng was trending before. What intelligence and capability, but you can’t judge a book by its cover. Terrifying.”

–“With such a scandal, Sheng Corp’s stock price is going to fall.”

All sorts of comments flooded the internet, leaving the old Mr. Sheng fuming with rage. The morning video had just been suppressed, and now another one appeared.

And what’s strange is that the PR company simply couldn’t handle it; it seemed someone wanted to blow this matter up.

Who exactly has a grudge against the Sheng Family to such an extent?

“Look at the wonderful daughter you’ve raised. Bravo, growing wings now and never being satisfied. No matter how I begged and pleaded, I couldn’t persuade her.

Now I can barely get a word in, and you don’t even regard me. You and your daughter really take the cake!”

Sheng Yunwen hadn’t expected the situation to blow up this much, but at this point, he had to pacify the old man.

Having just received the transfer order, Sheng Yunwen was rushing back, but it was already a done deal with no room for reversal, having been publicized on the company group’s website.

Now, being maliciously targeted, it was clear someone intentionally wanted to crush them.

“Dad, family matters should stay within the family, but this time, it’s clearly targeted at me and Xueqin.

No matter what faults Xueqin might have, once we’re back home, you can teach her however you see fit.

Right now, it’s crucial we settle this debacle!”

Settle? Now that everyone knows, how can it be settled?

“Do you think I don’t want to settle it? Huh? It’s already blown up like this. Is it that I don’t want to settle it?

If we dare make another move and people find out, it will be even harder to explain.

Let’s lock her up for a couple of days to dampen her spirits. It’s good for her, so she doesn’t always think she’s so capable and fearless.

Hear those words she said? Still thinks she is the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Sheng family, and others are nothing.

What does she think this is? This is Sea City! With news spreading so fast these days, if it gets to the stock price, I will never forgive her.”

Sheng Yunwen clenched his teeth, about to say more, when Huo Tingxiao suddenly arrived.

“Grandfather Sheng, I’ve heard about Xueqin’s situation. Is there anything I can help with?”

The old Mr. Sheng never expected Huo Tingyang to show up, but Huo Tingxiao did.

What play is this?

“Tingxiao, what are you doing here? It’s just a small matter.

Just Xueqin throwing a bit of a tantrum, things got a little out of hand this time.”

Even though he had just disparaged Sheng Xueqin in front of his son, he still couldn’t speak too harshly in front of an outsider. This was about the face of the Sheng family.

“Oh, I see. Actually, I was thinking about asking if the Sheng family would be interested in collaborating with me on the third phase of a project. Wanted to talk to Xueqin about it.”

“But now it should be Xueqian’s turn, right?”

Old Master Sheng looked at Huo Tingxiao, his eyes scrutinizing.

“Tingxiao, I haven’t been handling the company’s affairs recently, so I’m not very familiar with the internal operations. If you really have a collaboration to discuss, it’s better if you go find your Uncle Sheng.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunwen couldn’t help but interrupt.

“Dad, I’m right here; why bother Yunwu?

Tingxiao, just talk to me if you have anything.”

Old Master Sheng frowned slightly, displeased as he looked toward his eldest son. His son was right there–was he really trying to win over Huo Tingxiao in front of him?

“There are rules in doing things, Tingxiao. It’s not quite convenient at Grandpa Sheng’s place today; you should go back first.”

Huo Tingxiao watched the Sheng father and son openly showing their discord in front of him, the corners of his eyes carrying a hint of amusement.

It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or an arrangement, but Sheng Yunwu and Sheng Xueqian also returned to the grand Sheng residence.

“Grandpa, please save my sister…”

As Sheng Xueqian just pushed open the study door, she hadn’t yet appeared but already spoke out.

The moment she saw Huo Tingxiao, she paused.

“Brother Tingxiao?”

“It seems there’s no need to choose another day.”

Huo Tingxiao watched Sheng Yunwu and his daughter enter the door, then glanced at the eldest son of the Sheng family’s face, which was indeed quite a sight.

This drama at the Sheng household was fortunate for him to witness.

“Yunwu, you’ve come at the right time. Tingxiao has something to discuss with you. Go to the small study, and Xueqian, you stay.”

Sheng Yunwen had never expected that the old master would start showing such favoritism to this extent. He clenched his molars but dared not react too much.

Separated by only a wall, Huo Tingxiao was discussing business with Sheng Yunwu, while Old Master Sheng gave commands to Sheng Yunwen in front of Sheng Xueqian’s face.

“I gave Xueqin a chance, but she didn’t cherish it. It is because of past indulgence that she has caused such a mess.

Your daughter, if you don’t discipline her well, someone else will teach her.

Xueqian used to be willful, and I didn’t scold her less, but now this child is becoming more focused and knows what she should and shouldn’t do, which I think is very good.”

As soon as Sheng Xueqian heard this, she immediately waved her hand.

“Grandpa, please don’t think so. The biggest contributions to the company have been my sister’s–and everyone in the company knows it. They often say we should learn from her.

I’m just a newcomer in the workplace and know far less than her.

Now that such a thing has happened to my sister, grandpa, please think of a way to save her.”

Old Master Sheng looked at Sheng Xueqian with a bandage still on her forehead and couldn’t help but frown.

“You girl, even after how she treated you, you still speak up for her?”

Sheng Xueqin held back tears in her eyes and bit her lips, looking utterly aggrieved.

“Grandpa, she is my sister. I only have this one sister. Uncle has always told me that in the Sheng family, it’s just us sisters, and we should look after each other. I… I don’t want anything to happen to her.”

The more Old Master Sheng heard, the sadder he became.

“Look at how Xueqin has made her sister look? A girl’s appearance, what if it leaves scars?”

Sheng Yunwen had not expected things to turn out this way, but still thought that Sheng Xueqian was making too much of it, using such a big piece of gauze clearly to make the old man feel sorry for her.

“Dad, don’t overstate the squabbles between sisters.”
