Chapter 27

Let Ruan Yan Apologize Publicly

Ruan Xueling had been holding in her anger for a long time. They had come to pick a bone with them, but they didn’t expect to be scolded instead. Now, she could finally vent it. “The Ruan family’s cosmetics company belongs to the second branch. Now, the amount of lead and mercury in skin care products has exceeded the standard. Who exactly is embarrassing the family?”

Second Uncle Ruan’s face darkened. Without another word, he turned around and slapped Ruan Yan.

The sound of a slap rang out, and the entire living room fell silent for a moment.

Ruan Yan was stunned and covered her face in disbelief.

“Stupid girl! I didn’t expect you to be so vicious. You deliberately gave your cousin a sample containing lead mercury!” Second Uncle Ruan knew that this matter could not be blown up and could not be escalated to the company level. Therefore, no matter how much he doted on Ruan Yan, he had to make Ruan Yan bear this crime!

He also knew that Gu Zhaoming came to pick a bone with them because he wanted to seek an explanation for Gu Yang. Their families were in-laws, and it wouldn’t be good for the Gu family if the Ruan family’s skincare products exceeded the standard.

Ruan Yan never expected Gu Yang to take the skincare products she gave her for testing. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to deny it, but the evidence was conclusive. Even her father pushed all the blame on her.

Tears streamed down Ruan Yan’s face as she glared at Gu Yang.

However, her gaze happened to meet Gu Yang’s. The corners of Gu Yang’s lips curled up slightly as he pretended to be frightened and hugged Gu Jin’s arm tightly. “Cousin Ruan Yan, don’t glare at me like that. I’m scared.”

Ruan Yan, “!!!”

“How dare you glare at Yangyang!” Ruan Xueling and Gu Zhaoming were furious. If their gazes could materialize into knives, Ruan Yan would have been cut into pieces.

Ruan Yan bit her lip. “I didn’t…”

Xu Yun was stunned when Second Uncle slapped Ruan Yan. Now, she had finally come back to her senses. She laughed dryly. “Is there a misunderstanding? Yan’er and Yangyang have always been on good terms. Why would she deliberately give Yangyang a sample with excess lead-mercury content thinking it was the final product? Yangyang, maybe your cousin took the wrong one. You’ve always been kind and magnanimous. Don’t be angry with her, okay?”

Ruan Xueling was so angry that she almost slapped Xu Yun. She was claiming that Yangyang would not be considered kind and magnanimous if she got upset.

Gu Yang held her hand and said gently to Xu Yun, “Second Aunt, I also think that Cousin Ruan Yan wouldn’t harm me like this. It’s just that there’s a difference between the sample and the finished product, right? When Cousin Ruan Yan brought this skincare set over, it was wrapped as the finished product. So, Cousin Ruan Yan actually brought the finished product, right?”

Xu Yun didn’t want Ruan Yan to be blamed for being malicious, so she could only let the Ruan family’s cosmetics company be charged for exceeding the standard of lead mercury.

Second Uncle Ruan’s expression darkened as he glared at Xu Yun warningly. “Shut up! This is Ruan Yan’s fault. She shouldn’t let the entire company bear the responsibility for what she did wrong!”

He then looked at Gu Zhaoming. “Brother-in-Law, this is Yan’er’s fault. I apologize to you on her behalf. Since we’re in-laws and Yangyang is fine, let’s forget about this matter.”

“No!” The Gu family objected collectively.

Ruan Xueling glanced at Ruan Yan coldly. “Is Ruan Yan unable to talk? Does she need you to apologize on her behalf? Yangyang is fine now, but what if she doesn’t realize that there’s a problem with the skincare products? Not only will she be disfigured if she uses it for too long, but she might also get heavy metal poisoning and skin cancer…”

“Besides, why are you apologizing to Zhaoming? Get Ruan Yan to apologize to Yangyang. Then, she has to apologize publicly by using her Weibo account.”

Did they think she knew nothing? This b*tch had spread the news about the real and fake daughter of the Gu family online, causing Yangyang to suffer from online violence! Now, she wanted to let Ruan Yan have a taste of her medicine!

Gu Yang secretly gave Ruan Xueling a thumbs up. Well done!

Second Uncle Ruan did not expect his sister to be so disrespectful to him over an adopted daughter. He looked at Gu Zhaoming, the head of the family. “Brother-in-Law, do you have to make the two families unhappy over an adopted daughter?”
