After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan, standing to the side, quickly reminded her husband when he mentioned wanting to check the surveillance footage:

"Chen Mo, they just said that in order to protect the privacy of the guests, the surveillance cameras at the event today are not on."

Chen Mo turned his head, raised his hand and gently grasped Lan Yujuan's hand, saying firmly:

"Don't listen to their nonsense!"

"The more serious and crowded the public occasion, the less likely it is to turn off the surveillance cameras."

"Even before the event officially begins, professional personnel must repeatedly check the monitoring equipment to ensure that every corner of the venue can be captured by the cameras."

"Otherwise, if something really happens, no one will be able to explain it clearly."

"The reason we need to turn on surveillance is to deal with the current situation."

After speaking, Chen Mo gave his assistant a sharp look, who nodded, took out his phone, turned around, and left the scene.

At this point, Xu Qing was completely panicked.

"Wait a minute, Chen Mo, why are you here?"

"Shouldn't you be in the meeting room discussing new projects right now?"

"Fine, fine. Considering our long-term cooperation, I'll concede today."

"Call your assistant back right now. I'll apologize to your wife for your sake."

"Let's just let this matter drop!"

"There are still so many guests here, waiting for me to entertain them. I can't let them continue to laugh at me."

As Xu Qing spoke, she moved closer to Chen Mo, her tone pleading.

Upon approaching, he lowered his voice and whispered, in a tone only those around him could hear:

"Chen Mo, for the sake of us being old classmates, let's let it go this time, okay?"

"I admit that I'm not in a good mood today, and my words and actions just now were indeed a bit excessive and inappropriate."

"But looking at the current outcome, neither your wife nor your daughter suffered any loss; I was the one who was pushed down both times, right?"

As Xu Qing spoke, she kept an eye on Chen Mo's expression.

Seeing that Chen Mo did not interrupt, she mistakenly assumed that he was about to grant her request.

She even felt an impulse to reach out and put her arm around Chen Mo's in front of everyone.

But to her surprise, Chen Mo frowned and dodged, leaving her to raise her hand and miss in front of everyone.

"You're telling me, my wife didn't suffer any loss?" Chen Mo asked, frowning.

"From the time this happened until now, while I was away, you brought so many people to make things difficult for that mother and daughter."

"You've been gone for so long, you've even changed your clothes once, and you still say they haven't suffered any losses?"

"If I remember correctly, you're allergic to metals, so you basically don't wear jewelry to events, right?"

"So, did you really wear a bracelet today?"

"Or is it that you fabricated a bracelet out of thin air to deliberately frame my wife?"

Xu Qing's lie was exposed, and she froze on the spot, speechless.

"Chen Mo, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Mo interrupted her directly:

"I don't need your explanation, because right now, I don't know which of your words are true and which are false."

"Now all we need to do is wait patiently for a few more minutes."

"Once my assistant copies the video and projects it onto the big screen, the truth will become clear at a glance!"

He had barely finished speaking when his assistant came running back.

Chen Mo turned his head, and the moment their eyes met, the situation became clear.

Xu Qing's face turned pale, sensing that something bad was about to happen, and she rushed forward, grabbing Lan Yujuan's arm tightly with both hands.

"Mrs. Chen, I'm so sorry!"

"I admit, I acted impulsively just now, and I was definitely wrong!"

"I was chatting with my friend and we were so engrossed in our conversation that I didn't see the child behind me, and I never expected that a guest would bring a child to an event like this."

"As for the bracelet, I may, perhaps I'm mistaken."

"Looking back now, I'm not entirely sure where I last saw the bracelet... but I'm sure it had nothing to do with you guys!"

"After all, you're Mrs. Chen. What kind of jewelry do you want that the Chen family can't afford? How could you possibly lack a bracelet, right?"

Lan Yujuan was held in place, trying to break free, but afraid of knocking the disheveled Xu Qing to the ground again.

After all, she wasn't sure just how deep Chen Mo's cooperation with the Xu Group had gone.

Unable to break free, she could only look to Chen Mo beside her for help.

Now that things had come to this, Lan Yujuan's anger had largely dissipated, and her turbulent emotions gradually returned to calm.

Even if this matter were to truly end here and not be pursued any further, Lan Yujuan felt that she could barely accept it.

But she didn't expect Chen Mo to be so decisive and efficient, far exceeding her expectations.

The moment Lan Yujuan looked at him with pleading eyes, Chen Mo immediately reached out and broke Xu Qing's hands off her arm.

He then turned his head and gave a look, and the assistant instantly understood.

A few seconds later, a high-definition video with audio was projected directly onto the big screen and began to play in a loop.

Xu Qing walked backwards, her high heels almost stepping on Lan Xiaoman, yet she showed no remorse whatsoever. She even raised her hand to slap the child, displaying a ferocious look of wanting to turn the tables on Lan Xiaoman.

Then, she lost her balance and fell, but called for security guards to come in and throw Lan Yujuan out.

Later, she and her female companion fabricated lies in an attempt to accuse Lan Yujuan of theft, and incited other unrelated guests to attempt to violently search them on the spot.

The surveillance footage from all angles is captured clearly, whether it's the front, the side, or a close-up.

When the surveillance footage was first played, many people at the scene didn't quite react.

However, when the surveillance video started playing on a second or even third loop, almost everyone at the scene had already figured out the whole story.

The guests at the scene were instantly in an uproar!

"Good heavens, how can the heiress of the prestigious Xu Group have such a terrible character in private?"

"Exactly! Not only did they bully children, but they also showed such disrespect to their partner's family!"

"Everyone should have seen it clearly, right? When Mr. Xu entered just now, his hands and neck were completely bare; he wasn't wearing any jewelry at all."

"Yes, yes, I saw it too!"

"So, she said her bracelet was missing, suspected the other person of stealing it, and even demanded a body search by security. That's completely fabricated and bullying!"

The public opinion at the scene began to overwhelmingly favor Lan Yujuan and the child, with everyone criticizing Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was so frightened by the video that she turned pale.

"Chen Mo, I never expected you to be so ruthless and cruel!" Xu Qing's eyes were red, her lips trembling as she stared at Chen Mo with hatred.

"Aren't you afraid that our Xu family will completely sever ties with your Chen and Qin families from this day forward?"

However, Chen Mo didn't seem to take the other person's feelings to heart, and instead replied frankly and directly:

"I'm simply revealing the truth and clearing my wife's name!"

"Since Mr. Xu knew that such a thing would be despicable, yet he still insisted on doing it to my family, who is more vicious?"

"As for cooperation, it is based on the premise of mutual consent."

"If Mr. Xu feels that your Xu family's cooperation with me, Chen Mo, is not pleasant, then feel free to do as you please!"

The guests present had just been gossiping about this.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, I heard that the two most important protagonists of today started making harsh remarks because of the unexpected incident that occurred during the event, and that the cooperation could break down at any time.

Immediately, many of the affected guests panicked and began to try to persuade the situation:

"Young Mr. Xu, you're still young, please don't act impulsively!"

"Mr. Chen, what happened just now was completely a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart..."

Unfortunately, the guests who stayed to watch the play were of little influence between the Chen and Xu families and could not have much effect.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, someone who had a premonition of something amiss quickly went to fetch Mr. Xu, who was discussing business in the next conference room...
