Chapter 622: Charging Tong Yan
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
These few forces were enough to topple the whole country. The bravery to come up with a plan to make use of all of them was commendable enough but for Xinghe, they were nothing but pawns in a bigger game.
After the plan was set, Mubai immediately found Xinghe a team of lawyers to draft and send a bill of complaint to the court. The accused was Tong Yan.
She was the heiress to the Tong family, the most powerful young lady in Hwa Xia and someone dared to charge her?
The moment the bill was filed, the court contacted the Tong family. The person who answered the phone was Shen Ru, and she was understandably incensed.
âMy Little Yan only thought to teach her a small lesson and didnât even lay a finger on her, yet she dares to press charges? Does she know who sheâs dealing with?â
Elder Tong and Old Madam Tong were equally shocked. Old Madam Tong might have many grandchildren, but Tong Yan was her one granddaughter. She was furious when she learnt about this.
âThe woman sure is insensible, since she is safe then she should have let things rest. She dares to charge Little Yan? Isnât she afraid of crossing our Tong family?â
The Tong family was not a simple family, they were in-laws with the Shen family and were related to the president and many other powerful families in Hwa Xia. How stupid that woman must be to dare charge Tong Yan? Doesnât she know this is going to make the most powerful families in the whole Hwa Xia her enemies?
Elder Tong was more cautious. âShe has the Xi family behind her back; sheâs not some random woman we should underestimate.â
âSo what? Sheâs just the Xi familyâs divorced daughter-in-law, they will not look out for her,â Shen Ru spat with derision. âEven if she has the Xi family behind her back, can they fight with the collection of so many powerful families?â
âWhat does it matter if they canât? It is the truth that Little Yan is in the wrong and even the president knows about this, do you think we can still cover that up?â Elder Tong sighed. âIn any case, this time our weakness has already been exposed and the only solution is to have that woman rescind her charges.â
âIâll personally go demand her do that now!â Shen Ru stood up and announced smugly. She thought she could personally pressure Xinghe into doing her bidding.
In the end, Xinghe didnât even want to meet her. The guard told her that Xinghe was still traumatized by the earlier events and was unavailable to see anyone; it was the doctorâs order.
She then demanded to see Xi Mubai.
That was even more impossible. âYoung Master Xi just woke up from his coma and has exerted himself from all the running and walking yesterday. His wounds have been exacerbated and unless Madam is willing to be responsible for his health, we cannot allow Madam to see him.â
This was the first time Shen Ru was shown the door. In City A, no, the whole country, who dared to treat her like this?
Even after she married into the Tong family, they were always respectful around her. She was the Shen familyâs daughter, the Madam Presidentâs only younger sister.
Others couldnât wait to suck up to her, but Xinghe and Mubai had both refused to see her.
Shen Ruâs hatred towards them only increased. However, she was still clear-minded enough to know she couldnât barge in as she wished.
Therefore, she changed tact. Since Mubai refused to meet her, then she would go search for Madam Presidentâs help.
If Madam President wanted to see them, they had no choice but to oblige.
Shen Ru rushed to the presidentâs house. After Madam President listened to her complaint, she said lightly, âItâs only fair that they charged her, she has truly stepped out of line this time..â
