Chapter 185: You Want Me to Apologize? Never!
Tang Hong said sternly, “Jie’er, I am just stating facts, not targeting you!”
“Fine,” Tang Jie’er said coldly, “Since you think I did it, then I did it.”
“Jie’er, it’s not about what I think, we need to talk about reason and evidence. You and Xiao Yi are equals. This is a simple matter; once the handwriting is identified, it will be clear.”
Tang Jie’er understood her father’s attitude very well. He had no intention of letting her off the hook. Even though he knew she had tampered with things, he hadn’t considered her feelings or tried to cover for her.
Whether the handwriting was identified or not, the result would be the same.
Tang Jie’er no longer tried to defend herself. With a cold expression, she said, “There’s no need to bother identifying any handwriting. I replaced Ye Chuxiao’s design drawings. I simply didn’t want her to win the competition prize!”
Among those present, only Lu Ziyi knew the true motive behind Tang Jie’er framing Ye Chuxiao. She had been sternly rejected by him, and out of love turned to hatred, she was venting her anger on Ye Chuxiao!
As for the others, they exchanged glances. They didn’t know yet that Tang Jie’er and Lin Chusheng had broken up. In the past, they had seen Miss Tang and Young Master Lin inseparable at the company, so they couldn’t have imagined that Tang Jie’er was jealous of Ye Chuxiao because of Lu Ziyi.
As for why Miss Tang did this, it was probably because Ye Chuxiao was around the same age as her, and Ye Chuxiao’s talent was emerging and limitless. Miss Tang didn’t want any other girl’s talent to surpass hers, so she used her position to suppress Ye Chuxiao’s grades.
The truth was revealed. No one expected such an excellent girl like Tang Jie’er to do something so unsavory.
In the meeting room, no one from the Tang Group dared to speak. Regardless of what Tang Jie’er had done, her status remained that of the eldest daughter of the Tang family and the heir to the Tang Group!
The atmosphere in the meeting room became stiff and awkward.
“Jie’er,” Chairman Tang said calmly, without flying into a rage, “You were wrong about this matter. Apologize to Xiaoxiao.”
Tang Jie’er’s expression was indifferent. She turned to Ye Chuxiao and glared at her coldly.
Ye Chuxiao looked at Tang Jie’er’s gaze with confusion. She really couldn’t understand why Miss Tang was treating her this way.
Jie’er older sister is Brother Chusheng’s girlfriend, and she will be her sister-in-law in the future.
Because she participated in the Tang Group competition during this period, she often met with Jie’er older sister and Brother Chusheng, and they often ate and chatted together. She and Jie’er older sister weren’t exactly best friends, but it wasn’t to the point where Jie’er older sister would secretly harm her, was it?
Tang Jie’er noticed that ever since Ye Chuxiao entered the meeting room, Lu Ziyi had been holding her hand, as if to protect her.
Asking her to apologize to Ye Chuxiao was absolutely impossible!
Tang Jie’er averted her gaze and said indifferently, “The Tang Group can deal with me however they see fit. I will not apologize!”
Tang Jie’er ignored what her father or the two directors said and left the meeting room haughtily.
Tang Hong let out a deep sigh. His daughter!
“Xiaoxiao,” Chairman Tang turned to Ye Chuxiao and said apologetically, “On behalf of the Tang Group, I apologize to you. If you still believe in the Tang Group, please print another design draft and submit it. This time, I guarantee that the Tang Group will not have any more oversights and will ensure the fairness of the competition.”
“I am willing to submit another design drawing,” Ye Chuxiao replied softly.
Ye Chuxiao could feel Chairman Tang’s sincerity. If he wanted to favor his daughter, he could have completely disregarded the truth. However, he still upheld integrity and made his daughter admit her actions.
