Chapter 148: Chapter 148 The Truth Revealed

"Miss Xu!"
Upon seeing the elegant figure of Xu Ruoxuan, Old Madam Su's murky eyes suddenly lit up.
Su Tianhao and Su Yue, the siblings, were both filled with astonishment. Who could have expected Xu Ruoxuan to arrive at Su Corporation at this critical juncture?
Su Ruoxue was also somewhat surprised. Why had Xu Ruoxuan come?
Seeing Xu Ruoxuan's arrival, Ye Fan's face was brimming with a playful smile, "Miss Xu, your timing is perfect. Just a moment ago, they questioned the authenticity of this check. Now, may I trouble Miss Xu to tell them in person whether this check was indeed personally handed to me by Miss Xu!"
"Miss Xu, you didn't really give this check to Ye Fan, did you? This is a full twenty million more!" Su Tianhao emphasized as he spoke.
Under the gaze of several expectant eyes, Xu Ruoxuan, with the demeanor of an orchid, said, "Indeed, this check was personally handed to Mr. Ye by me!"
What!!!
The check was really given to Ye Fan by Xu Ruoxuan?
After Xu Ruoxuan personally confirmed it, Old Madam Su, Su Tianhao, and Su Yue were all stunned, as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt—they were completely dumbfounded.
The Xu Family owed the Su Family eighty million in goods payments, which they had been unable to recover despite all efforts. Yet Ye Fan, this seemingly insignificant fellow, had easily managed to get the payment from Xu Ruoxuan's hands?
How... how is this possible?
Although the three of them were reluctant to accept this fact, with Xu Ruoxuan's personal verification, there was no room for doubt.
"Heard that? The check is genuine and was personally given to me by Miss Xu!" Ye Fan said with a teasing look on his face.
Right now, Old Madam Su and the other two were like people who had just swallowed dead flies—their faces were exceptionally ugly, as the situation had far exceeded their expectations.
Su Ruoxue spoke oddly, "Your Xu Family owes our Su Family eighty million, and even with interest, it shouldn't amount to as much as twenty million, right?"
"It's quite interesting," Xu Ruoxuan elegantly smiled at Su Ruoxue. "This extra twenty million can be considered interest if you like, or not interest if you don't. As for the specific reasons, go back and ask your Mr. Ye."
Hearing Xu Ruoxuan's response, Su Ruoxue gave Ye Fan a peculiar look. Ye Fan couldn't help but smile wryly, "Ruoxue, please don't overthink it."
Su Ruoxue naturally trusted Ye Fan. She stared at Xu Ruoxuan with a slight frown on her face. She had never had much of a fondness for Xu Ruoxuan, especially given her words, which could inadvertently lead to wild speculations.
"Right, Miss Xu, just now they also refuted me, claiming that the Xu Family's debt to the Su Family wasn't due to Su Tianhao. Would Miss Xu kindly verify that as well?" Ye Fan said with a malicious smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Tianhao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, instantly turned pale, a foreboding feeling suddenly overwhelming him. He was thoroughly shaken.
Indeed, during his collaboration with the Xu Family, he had often substituted inferior goods for good ones, squandering the money saved on pleasure. If Xu Ruoxuan exposed this publicly, the trouble would be enormous.
At the mention of this, Old Madam Su's face turned dark immediately, and she said in a cold voice, "Let me be clear to Miss Xu. Tianhao is my own grandson. I have always regarded him as the heir to the Su Family, which is why I entrusted our two families' cooperation to him. Tianhao has a pure and kind nature and would never do such a thing as substituting inferior goods!"
"Everyone outside says Old Madam Su is still sharp as ever, controlling Su Corporation well into her seventies, but now it seems you've indeed aged; your judgment of character is truly lacking!" Xu Ruoxuan said with a look of regret on her face.
Upon hearing Xu Ruoxuan's words, Old Madam Su's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "What do you mean by that, Miss Xu?"
"Old Madam, let's not beat around the bush. What Mr. Ye said earlier was all true!"
Xu Ruoxuan's face turned extremely serious in an instant, and a powerful, invisible aura burst forth from within her.
"All true?"
Boom!
Old Madam Su felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue; she could hardly believe her ears.
```
If everything Ye Fan said was true, then wasn't her trusted grandson, Su Tianhao, really replacing good products with inferior ones in collaboration with the Xu Family?
Thinking of this, Old Madam Su's expression changed dramatically, "Miss Xu, could there be some mistake? Tianhao would never do such a thing!"
"Su Tianhao is heartless and ruthless. What wouldn't he do?" Ye Fan mocked from the side.
To take down Su Ruoxue, Su Tianhao would stoop to any level; in Ye Fan's eyes, Su Tianhao had long since lost all his morals.
Xu Ruoxuan didn't waste words. She directly pulled out a cosmetic bottle. "Old Lady Su, our Xu Family always orders custom high-end series, and this is what your Su Family delivered to us!"
Old Madam Su looked surprised as she took the cosmetic bottle and carefully examined it, finding that there were no issues with the bottle, which belonged to the Su Family high-end cosmetic packaging series.
Then, Old Madam Su opened the cosmetic bottle, poured out some cosmetic liquid and sniffed it. As soon as she smelled the scent, Old Lady Su's face immediately lost its composure.
"Impossible! This can't be possible!"
Having dealt with cosmetics for so many years, Old Madam Su was intimately familiar with all the Su Family's product series. A mere sniff told her that the cosmetic liquid inside belonged to the Su Family's low-end series.
"Old Lady Su, you still don't believe it now, do you?" Xu Ruoxuan said, shaking her head with a smile.
As Xu Ruoxuan's words fell, nearly ten large trucks sped to the entrance of the Su Corporation.The next moment, Xu Ruoxuan pointed outside, "There, those trucks are carrying the goods your Su Family delivered to my Xu Family, Old Lady Su, take a good look for yourself!"
"Miss Xu, please wait a moment!" Old Madam Su became completely panicked.
She quickly stepped out to the entrance of the Su Corporation and instructed the security guards to unload the large quantity of goods for her own verification.
At first, it seemed alright because Old Madam Su found that the initial cosmetics were a mix of high-end and low-end products, but as she continued, Old Madam Su's face became more and more distressed. She was horrified to find that the cosmetics delivered later were all low-end products disguised in high-end packaging bottles.
"How could this be?"
After she had finished the inspection, Old Madam Su felt as if all her strength had been drained, her vision darkened, and she almost collapsed on the ground.
Xu Ruoxuan walked out from the Su Corporation and spoke in a chilly tone, "Old Madam Su, do you believe it now? Our Xu Family has only been promoted from a wealthy family to a distinguished family within a few years, yet our credibility is well-known. We have never delayed payment to any partner, except for the issues that have arisen with your Su Family!"
"We ordered the high-end series, but you kept substituting them with low-end products. Do you really think the Xu Family are fools?"
Xu Ruoxuan's words hit Old Madam Su like a bolt from the blue, nearly causing her to lose her balance. She was no fool; Old Madam Su knew that this was certainly Su Tianhao's doing.
"Miss Xu is right. There is indeed someone within your Su Family who takes us for fools!" Ye Fan sneered.
Seeing Ye Fan taking advantage of the situation, Su Tianhao couldn't contain his rage and bellowed, "Ye Fan, what the hell are you? Do you think you have any right to speak here?"
"Look how agitated he is, everyone watch, he's losing his cool!" Ye Fan's face was full of mockery at Su Tianhao's outburst.
Realizing the severity of the issue, Su Yue exclaimed in shock, "Big brother, you didn't do all this, did you?"
"Sister, you don't believe me? How could I possibly do such a thing?" Su Tianhao hastened to defend himself.
Xu Ruoxuan sneered, "So what you're saying is, I'm defaming you?"
"No... not at all! Miss Xu, I didn't mean that!" Su Tianhao became completely flustered.
Staring at the panicked Su Tianhao, Old Madam Su roared furiously as if she had gone mad:
"Su Tianhao, what exactly is going on here?"
