Double evil in the business district

Xiao Yue's face changed, and he subconsciously hid behind the door. Uncle Xiao, although puzzled, quickly closed the study door and hid Xiao Yue.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Uncle Xiao opened the door and asked calmly.

Second Uncle Xiao had a hypocritical smile on his face: "Third Uncle, I have something to discuss with you about the company's recent projects..." As he spoke, he glanced into the study with a flickering look, as if looking for something.

Xiao Yue hid behind the door, her heart pounding. She knew Uncle Xiao had bad intentions; he must have sensed something. She held her breath, not daring to make a sound.

Uncle Xiao blocked Uncle Xiao's sight calmly and said, "We'll talk about the company's affairs later. I have some personal matters to deal with now."

Uncle Xiao was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something more, but seeing Uncle Xiao's resolute attitude, he had to give up. "Okay, Uncle Xiao, I'm leaving first." He glanced meaningfully at the study door and turned to leave.

After Second Uncle Xiao left, Third Uncle Xiao opened the door and let Xiao Yue out. "Xiao Yue, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xiao Yue told her Third Uncle Xiao the whole story, hoping he could help her. After hearing this, his face darkened. "Xiao Yue, your Second Uncle is very ambitious. You must be careful." He promised to do his best to help Xiao Yue, but also reminded her that the situation was complicated and she needed to proceed with caution.

At the same time, Shen Ting and the business veteran were driving to the Xiao family's old house. However, their car encountered an "accident" halfway - a truck suddenly lost control and crashed into their car.

Fortunately, the driver reacted quickly and avoided the collision in time, but their car was inevitably affected and unable to continue driving. Shen Ting immediately realized that this was not an accident, but a deliberate act. His eyes were cold, and anger surged in his heart. Who was it? Who was trying to stop him?

"Mr. Shen, it seems we have to change cars." Although the senior was old, he still kept a cool head.

Shen Ting nodded and immediately arranged for someone to come and assist. He knew that this obstruction was just the beginning, and the road ahead would be even more difficult. But he would not give up. For Xiao Yue, he had to overcome all difficulties.

Back at the Xiao family mansion, Uncle Xiao returned to his room with a gloomy face. He had just overheard the conversation between Xiao Yue and Uncle Xiao outside the study. Although he didn't hear it all, he already understood Xiao Yue's intentions. A cold smile appeared on his lips, and he took out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello, it's me... proceeding according to plan."

In the evening, the atmosphere in the Xiao family's old house became unusually solemn. A servant ran into the hall in a panic, his face pale as he shouted, "Master, it's bad! Something happened!"

The servant's words were like a bomb, instantly detonating the entire hall. Everyone in the Xiao family gathered around, anxiously asking what had happened. The servant pointed to the wall at the end of the corridor with a trembling finger, "There...there..."

Everyone looked in the direction the servant pointed, their faces suddenly changing. They saw several photos taped to the wall. The woman in the photos was Xiao Yue, but the man she was embracing intimately was not Shen Ting...

A member of the Xiao family pointed at the photo and muttered in disbelief, "This... How is this possible..."

The photos on the wall, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, instantly brought the already tense atmosphere of the Xiao family residence to a freezing point. In the photos, Xiao Yue was seen in intimate poses with various men: hugging, holding hands, and even what appeared to be kissing. Each photo was carefully selected, with tricky angles and ambiguous lighting, enough to spark endless reverie.

"This... this is impossible!" Xiao Yue's cousin Xiao Wei covered her mouth and whispered in disbelief. The other members of the clan were also discussing and whispering, looking at Xiao Yue with eyes full of suspicion, contempt, and even disgust.

Xiao Yue felt dizzy, the photos before her like sharp knives stabbing into her heart. She knew someone had deliberately framed her, and she couldn't think of anyone other than Lin Xiao. She tried to explain, but her throat was dry and she couldn't make a sound.

At this moment, Uncle Xiao walked over pretending to be surprised, "This... what's going on? Xiaoyue, these photos..." There was a hint of hypocritical concern in his tone, but there was a smug light in his eyes.

"Second uncle, these photos are fake! Someone is deliberately framing me!" Xiao Yue finally found her voice. She pointed at the photos and said in a firm tone.

"Framed? Xiaoyue, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" Uncle Xiao sneered, his tone aggressive.

"I didn't! I don't know these men in the photos at all!" Xiao Yue's voice trembled. She looked around, but found that no one believed her.

Second Uncle Xiao turned to the crowd and said in a voice of feigned grief, "Alas, what a misfortune for our family! Xiaoyue, how could you do such a thing? Where will the Xiao family put their reputation?"

The other tribesmen also accused Xiao Yue, their words sharp and merciless. Xiao Yue felt extremely wronged and desperate, struggling helplessly like a bird trapped in a cage.

At this moment, Butler Zhou hurried over and whispered something in Grandpa Xiao's ear. Grandpa Xiao's face darkened, and his eyes became even more sinister. He slowly walked in front of Xiao Yue, his eyes like knives, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Xiaoyue," Grandpa Xiao's voice was low and majestic, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Yue raised her head and looked at Grandpa Xiao's disappointed eyes, her heart filled with bitterness. She knew that no matter how she explained, Grandpa Xiao would not believe her.

Over the next few days, Xiao Yue's situation within the family business became even more difficult. She was removed from the important project she had been responsible for and assigned to more peripheral tasks, such as organizing documents and photocopying materials. She felt deeply wronged, but she knew she couldn't give up. She had to find the person who framed her and clear her name.

One afternoon, Xiao Yue was sorting documents in her office when she received a call from an unfamiliar number. A deep male voice came from the other end of the line: "Ms. Xiao, I know who framed you."

Xiao Yue was shocked and asked quickly, "Who is it?"

"Do you want to know the truth? 8pm, Room 208 of the Lijing Hotel."

Xiao Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. She knew this was an opportunity, a chance for her to clear her name.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yue arrived at Room 208 of the Lijing Hotel on time. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door... "Who?" A vigilant voice came from the room.

"It's me, Xiao Yue."

The door opened, and a short, fat man with a face full of flesh appeared in front of Xiao Yue. He looked Xiao Yue up and down, and a lewd glint flashed in his eyes. "Miss Xiao, please come in."

The man brought Xiao Yue into the room. The room was filled with smoke and the air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. The man poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Xiao Yue. "Miss Xiao, I know who framed you."

Xiao Yue took the wine glass but didn't drink it. "Who is it?"

The man smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, let's talk slowly." He walked to Xiao Yue and reached out to put his arm around her shoulders.

Xiao Yue instinctively dodged, "Sir, please respect yourself."

The man's face changed. "Ms. Xiao, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. I know you're eager to clear your name, but I'm not helping you for nothing."

Xiao Yue's heart sank as she realized she might have fallen into a trap. She turned around and tried to leave, but the man grabbed her.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Shen Ting rushed in with several bodyguards. He pushed the man away and protected Xiao Yue behind him. "Are you okay?"

Xiao Yue shook her head, but her eyes were red.

Shen Ting glanced at the man coldly and said to the bodyguard, "Take him away."

The man was dragged out by the bodyguards and peace returned to the room.

"Thank you, Shen Ting." Xiao Yue said gratefully.

"I'm glad you're okay." Shen Ting looked at her gently, "Don't come to a place like this alone again."

Xiao Yue nodded and told Shen Ting what had happened. Shen Ting's face darkened after hearing this. "It seems that the struggle within the Xiao family is more complicated than we imagined."

Meanwhile, in the Xiao family mansion, Grandpa Xiao was holding a family meeting. He placed the photos on the table, his face livid. "This is what Xiao Yue did! She's ruined the family's reputation and brought disgrace upon the Xiao family!"

The tribesmen echoed and blamed Xiao Yue.

"Grandpa, these photos are fake! Someone framed me!" Xiao Yue's voice came from outside the door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Yue and Shen Ting walking in together.

"Xiao Yue, what else do you have to say?" Grandpa Xiao looked at her disappointedly.

"Grandpa, I swear on my life that these photos are fake!" Xiao Yue said firmly, "I know who framed me, and I will find evidence to prove my innocence!"

Grandpa Xiao sneered, "Evidence? What evidence do you have?"

"I have it!" Xiao Yue looked at Shen Ting. Shen Ting nodded and took out a document from his pocket. "This is the evidence we found, proving that these photos are forged, and the person who framed Xiao Yue is..."

He paused, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally stopped on one person, "Second Uncle Xiao!"

Uncle Xiao's expression changed drastically. "You...you're talking nonsense!"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know it in your heart." Shen Ting handed the document to Grandpa Xiao, "Grandpa, please take a look."

Grandpa Xiao took the document and read it carefully. His expression grew increasingly grim, and finally, he slammed the document heavily on the table. "Evil creature! Do you have anything else to say?"

Uncle Xiao was pale and trembling all over, but he couldn't say a word.

Butler Zhou stood aside, watching all this unfold with mixed emotions. He had been ordered to closely monitor Xiao Yue, but he hadn't expected her to eventually find evidence and clear her name. He looked at Xiao Yue, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Grandpa, I have something else to announce." Xiao Yue suddenly spoke. Everyone's eyes were focused on her. "I...I want to marry Shen Ting."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar...

"You..." Grandpa Xiao pointed at Xiao Yue, shaking with anger.

Xiao Yue's words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. Grandpa Xiao's face turned pale, and his finger, pointing at Xiao Yue, trembled uncontrollably. "Ridiculous! Absurd! Do you know what you're talking about?"

Seeing this, Second Uncle Xiao immediately added fuel to the fire: "Grandpa, look, Xiao Yue actually came up with this method to avoid punishment! She doesn't care about the Xiao family's reputation at all!"

The other clan members chimed in, accusing Xiao Yue of being unfilial and bringing disgrace to the family. Xiao Yue looked around, seeing familiar faces now filled with hostility, and she felt a chill in her heart. But she knew she couldn't retreat. She had to fight for herself and for Shen Ting.

"Grandpa, I know my decision was sudden, but Shen Ting and I are truly in love." Xiao Yue said firmly, looking directly at Grandpa Xiao. "Besides, Shen Ting's abilities are obvious to all. He can help the Xiao Group develop better."

Grandpa Xiao snorted coldly: "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You just want to use the power of the Shen family to gain a firm foothold in the Xiao family!"

"Grandpa, you misunderstood me!" Xiao Yue explained anxiously, "I never thought of taking advantage of anyone. I just wanted to prove my ability and contribute to the Xiao family!"

At this moment, Butler Zhou hurried in and whispered a few words in Grandpa Xiao's ear. Grandpa Xiao's face changed slightly, and he looked at Xiao Yue with a more inquiring look.

"Shen Ting is here." said Butler Zhou.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ting pushed the door open and walked in. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, and his aura was so strong that it was impossible to ignore him. He walked straight to Xiao Yue, held her hand, and gave her silent support.

"Mr. Shen, what are you doing here?" Grandpa Xiao asked in a deep voice.

"I'm here to pick up my wife." Shen Ting's tone was calm, yet with unquestionable determination, "Xiao Yue is my fiancée, and we will be married soon."

Grandpa Xiao frowned, looking at Shen Ting with a scrutinizing look. He knew Shen Ting's abilities and the Shen family's position in the business world. If Xiao Yue really married Shen Ting, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for the Xiao family.

But he still couldn't accept Xiao Yue's self-willed behavior. What's more, he suspected that Xiao Yue and Shen Ting had joined forces to seize power in the Xiao family.

"Mr. Shen, marriage is not a joke. Do you think you can get married just because you say so?" Grandpa Xiao said in a firm tone.

Shen Ting replied calmly, "Xiao Yue and I are truly in love, and it's only a matter of time before we get married. As for the Xiao family's approval, we will do our best to secure it."

He turned to look at Lawyer Li: "Lawyer Li, have we brought the documents we prepared?"

Lawyer Li nodded, took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Grandpa Xiao: "Mr. Xiao, this is the prenuptial agreement between Mr. Shen and Miss Xiao. Please take a look."

Grandpa Xiao took the document and looked through it carefully. The content of the document was clear and clearly stipulated the division of property between Xiao Yue and Shen Ting, as well as their responsibilities and obligations to Xiao's enterprise.

Looking at the document, Grandpa Xiao fell into deep thought. He hadn't expected Shen Ting to be so thorough, even preparing a prenuptial agreement. This changed his impression of Shen Ting, and he began to reconsider Xiao Yue and Shen Ting's marriage.

When Second Uncle Xiao saw this scene, his expression turned even uglier. He had originally thought that he could use this opportunity to completely overthrow Xiao Yue, but he had not expected Shen Ting's appearance to completely disrupt his plan.

His eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "Grandpa, although this prenuptial agreement seems fair, who knows if it's true? What if Shen Ting is lying to us?"

Shen Ting's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Uncle Xiao with a warning look: "Uncle Xiao, please be careful with your words. The relationship between Xiao Yue and me cannot be questioned by anyone."

The atmosphere was tense. Xiao Yue felt Shen Ting holding her hand tightly. She knew that this family meeting had just begun...

"Grandpa," Xiao Yue took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "I have something to say..."
