At the thought of this, Yuan Shu despised Duan Yan even more and exposed her lie.

“Madam Duan, as for the ‘hardships’ you mentioned, do you mean how you indulged me and wouldn’t let me interfere in the family business? It’s been hard on you.”

Duan Yan’s face was pale and she couldn’t speak. She could only lean against the wall while wishing that there was a hole in the wall for her to hide in.

Yuan Shu’s gaze became cold and stern as she changed the topic, “However, after so many years, everything you took from me about Yushu Buyi should be enough to make up for the ‘hardships’ you mentioned.”

Yuan Shu took another step forward. “Or do you want more?! You want the entire Yushu Buyi?”

Duan Yan held onto the wall with both hands and braced herself as she resisted, “Yushu Buyi is mine to begin with! It’s a subsidiary company of the Yuan Corporation, so how can I not have the right to ask?! I think you’ve forgotten how good I am to you and want to bully me!”

Yuan Shu sneered. She really admired her ability to distort the truth.

She couldn’t be bothered to talk to Duan Yan anymore and ordered Shen Yi, “Call the security officers to chase this woman out.”

Shen Yi didn’t expect things to develop like this. Yuan Shu really didn’t show Duan Yan any mercy. However, Yuan Shu had a boldness that made people feel a sense of submission. Shen Yi didn’t dare to say anything else. After he nodded vigorously, he staggered out.

When Duan Yan heard that Yuan Shu was going to ask the security officers to chase her out, she couldn’t care less about her dignity. She stood up and rushed over to hit Yuan Shu. “You brat, how dare you ask someone to chase me out?! Let me tell you, you don’t have that sort of ability!”

Looking at Duan Yan, who was walking over quickly, Yuan Shu waved her wrist and whipped her again, hitting Duan Yan’s abdomen. Duan Yan’s face was distorted in pain as she squatted on the ground.

Duan Yan’s body was already wet from the water, and there was a layer of sweat on her forehead. The heavy makeup on her face was also smudged by the sweat, revealing the wrinkles that she had tried her best to hide.

No matter how much money was spent or how expensive the skincare products were, no one could prevent aging. Duan Yan’s glamorous appearance couldn’t hide her aging body. In that moment, Duan Yan looked extremely pathetic and ridiculous, like a withered and wrinkled orange.

Yuan Shu only looked at her calmly. “You should always remember that I’m the owner of this company. On account of the few years you took care of me in the past, I’ll let bygones be bygones regarding you taking money from the company previously. However, you have to be responsible for what happened recently.”

Duan Yan’s expression changed and she panicked. “How… how much do you know about this?”

There was a guest table in the office with wooden chairs beside it. Yuan Shu sat on the chair closest to her and placed the rope in her hand on the guest table.

“I don’t know yet. You can choose to tell me yourself. Of course, I’ll investigate, but if I find out, the outcome will be different.”

Yuan Shu roughly guessed that Duan Yan not being able to hand in the order from the high-end restaurant must have something to do with Yushu Buyi. However, apart from that, finding out how many other shameful things Duan Yan had done was still up to the investigation.

This wasn’t difficult. As the general manager of the company, Shen Yi knew the company’s accounts and business the best. As long as Shen Yi returned and the two of them confronted each other, the problem would naturally be solved.

Even in this dilapidated old office, Yuan Shu, who was sitting in the middle of antique furniture, made people unable to look away. She had an innate noble aura.

Even if she just sat there and didn’t say or do anything, it was enough to intimidate everyone.

Shen Yi returned very quickly, since he was worried that there would be a large-scale fight at the event location. After all, he knew very well how difficult it was to deal with Duan Yan. However, to his surprise, the two of them remained silent.

Yuan Shu sat on the chair quietly while Duan Yan squatted on the ground and didn’t dare to make a sound. She looked extremely disheveled.

Yuan Shu asked the security officer to wait outside the door, while she called Shen Yi in and started to check all the projects and orders for the past half a year.

They didn’t know that Duan Yan had done so many things behind their backs!
