Under her father's furious glare, Wei Ning's psychological defenses completely collapsed.
He pointed at Su Wangchuan, tears streaming down his face, and shouted:
"Dad! Dad! It's not my fault! It was Su Wangchuan! He came to me on his own initiative!"
He said he didn't like Ye Heng, that Ye Heng was blocking his way, and that if I could help him kill or cripple Ye Heng, he would... He even told me the internal evaluation data for Su's next few important projects, as well as their bottom lines in negotiations with Tianhai!
"That last clause in the contract... he also suggested adding it, saying that this way we could both get revenge on Ye Heng and control Su Yingxue, making the Su family more obedient in the future... Dad, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
Wei Ning pinned all the evidence on Su Wangchuan.
"You beast!" Su Yingxue trembled with rage, her face turning deathly pale.
She had always known that Su Wangchuan was ambitious, but she never expected that in order to eliminate dissidents and seize power, he would be so despicable as to collude with outsiders, betray the company's core secrets, and even use such vicious means to frame Ye Heng, who had been kind to the company!
This has completely crossed her bottom line and betrayed the Su family's years of nurturing kindness.
She pointed at Su Wangchuan, her voice trembling with extreme anger and disappointment: "Su Wangchuan! You...you have disappointed me so much! And you have disappointed Grandpa so much! The Su family has raised you for so many years, taught you how to be a person, and given you a platform, and this is how you repay us?"
"Colluding with outsiders, betraying the company, and framing colleagues?! From today onwards, you are no longer a member of the Su family! Nor are you an employee of the Su Group! Get out of here immediately, get out of the Su family!"
Su Yingxue's resolute pronouncement caused Su Wangchuan to completely collapse, his face ashen.
The surrounding guests were also completely in uproar, and angry shouts and curses erupted everywhere:
"You traitor!"
"What an ungrateful wretch!"
"How could someone as illustrious as Grandpa Su have raised such a heartless wretch!"
"To sell even the family business for personal gain is utterly shameless!"
"An adopted son is an adopted son; he's never a biological child, and he has absolutely no sense of family honor!"
The disdainful and contemptuous gazes were like sharp arrows, nailing Su Wangchuan to the pillar of shame.
His carefully cultivated image and meticulously managed situation crumbled instantly under Ye Heng's few words and Wei Ning's accusations, leaving him only in a pathetic and wretched state, hated by everyone.
"Men, throw him out!"
At Wei Zong's command, several security personnel immediately stepped forward and unceremoniously lifted up Su Wangchuan, who was slumped on the ground and looked utterly lost.
"No...no! Yingxue! I know I was wrong! Give me another chance! For all the years I've worked so hard for the Su family! Grandpa! Grandpa won't allow you to do this!"
Su Wangchuan struggled desperately, screaming with tears streaming down his face, trying to evoke the last bit of pity from Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue had her back to him, her straight back remaining completely unwavering.
She waved her hand, not even sparing him a glance.
The security personnel understood and quickly dragged the howling Su Wangchuan away from the banquet hall.
The pitiful pleas for mercy gradually faded away, eventually disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Ye Heng's gaze followed the direction in which Su Wangchuan was dragged away until his figure disappeared.
He clearly caught the last look Su Wangchuan gave him and Su Yingxue—a look filled with deep-seated resentment, hatred, and unwillingness.
That was not a look of defeat, but a signal from a venomous snake lurking, waiting for its chance to strike back.
"Hmph, they definitely won't let this go." Ye Heng thought to himself.
The best way to deal with such a venomous snake that hides in the shadows and harbors treacherous intentions is to crush it to death.
However, now is not the right time or place.
Let him go for now; it'll be a good opportunity to see if there are any other connections behind him, or if we can uncover anything even bigger.
Order gradually returned to the banquet hall, but the atmosphere was completely different from before.
Everyone's attention had shifted completely from the project itself to the unfathomable "Mr. Ye" sitting in the corner.
Su Yingxue stood still, took several deep breaths, and finally mustered up her courage to turn around and walk towards Ye Heng.
"Ye Heng, I'm sorry!"
As the president of the Su Group, known for her absolute authority and aloofness, when has she ever apologized to someone in such a humble manner?
But at this moment, she knew she was wrong, terribly wrong.
She walked up to Ye Heng and looked up at him. "Ye Heng... I shouldn't have blamed you without knowing the facts, and I shouldn't have... suspected you would cause trouble for the Su family. I was wrong, I'm sorry."
These brief words were a huge concession and a sign of honesty for her.
Looking at her slightly reddened ear tips and her efforts to maintain composure, Ye Heng felt that the resentment caused by the previous misunderstanding had long since vanished.
He smiled calmly, his tone even: "No need to apologize. Your decision not to sign that contract and to stand by my side is enough."
He paused, then added, "Besides, as the president, it's perfectly understandable that you prioritize the company's interests."
This wasn't sarcasm, but a statement of fact. Su Yingxue's ability to uphold her principles in the face of enormous temptations far exceeded his expectations.
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue was taken aback. A warm feeling quietly flowed through her heart, and at the same time, she felt even more ashamed.
She nodded without saying anything more, but the way she looked at Ye Heng was different now.
At this moment, Wei Zong had already ordered someone to quickly fetch a formal, clean contract text, which he personally presented to Su Yingxue with both hands, his attitude extremely respectful.
"Mr. Su, this is the official contract that we agreed upon beforehand. Please take a look. I apologize again for the farce that just happened. I hope you found it amusing and that it disturbed Mr. Ye."
Su Yingxue quickly switched back to work mode, took the contract, and checked it with the accompanying legal staff to confirm that it was correct.
She picked up the pen and solemnly signed her name in the "Party B" section. Wei Zong, as the representative of Tianhai Group, followed suit and affixed his seal.
Contracts were exchanged, and a handshake was performed. At this moment, the 500 million yuan cooperation project was truly settled, and built on a completely different foundation.
This is all because of Ye Heng's existence.
The surrounding guests came forward to offer their congratulations, but their eyes kept drifting towards Ye Heng.
Chu Wei also walked over at the right time. He first congratulated Su Yingxue: "President Su, congratulations. It seems that my choice was right."
Then, his gaze turned to Ye Heng, his smile carrying a profound meaning and a touch of just the right amount of respect, and he raised his glass: "Mr. Ye. I apologize for my previous rudeness. I hope you will take good care of me in Jinling in the future."
Ye Heng simply nodded slightly, raised his glass in acknowledgment, and said nothing more.
Although Chu Wei's son had offended him many times before, he had been punished. Chu Wei was patient and knew when to advance and retreat, so he was willing to give him some face.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chu Wei politely withdrew.
Outside the banquet hall, Su Wangchuan was left on the roadside.
He stared blankly at the endless stream of cars.
"It's over, everything is over."
"I've lost everything."
Suddenly, he thought of something and roared like a madman:
"No, I still have a chance, it's not over yet!"
After saying that, he took out his phone and made a call.
