Chapter 280 The Conspiracy of the Charity Gala
As the group was chatting, Xu Yanxin's phone rang.
After the call connected, she looked very uncomfortable, though I don't know what she said.
Yuan Yangyang and Xu Lengyu exchanged a glance, both curious about what could have caused Xu Yanxin to react this way.
Xu Yanxin said into the phone, "I understand. I'll do as you say. Let's not alert them yet. I want to see how many tricks they have up their sleeves."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yanxin said to Yuan Yangyang and Xu Lengyu with mixed feelings.
“My dad found me a helper. He has already sent someone to keep an eye on Aunt Guo and her son. Then they discovered that Aunt Guo was inquiring about charity auctions everywhere.”
And she used the name of my Qin family.
There's a charity auction in a few days, and I plan to get Aunt Guo an invitation. I want to see what she's up to."
Yuan Yangyang speculated: "What would happen if she used your name to send your switched jewelry to a charity auction gala?"
In a single sentence, Xu Yanxin turned pale and immediately understood what Yuan Yangyang meant.
Xu Lengyu immediately understood and continued along the same lines.
“Normally, wealthy families wouldn’t risk their reputation by selling counterfeit goods; that would be tantamount to tarnishing the family’s image, and no one would be that stupid.”
Therefore, the vetting process for jewelry items participating in charity auctions is not as strict.
After all, it's obvious which family's product it is.
Therefore, no one would have suspected that the jewelry the Qin family brought to auction was fake.
"But a fake is a fake, and it will eventually be discovered."
If the buyer discovers this later, it will severely tarnish the Qin family's reputation.
If the Qin family is instigated, they might even think that the other party is deliberately slandering them, which would inevitably lead to conflict between the two families.
This is tantamount to making an enemy.
Aunt Guo, on the other hand, remained perfectly hidden, because no one would have suspected that the jewelry and precious stones she sent to the auction were already fake.
That way, no one will know that she stole jewelry to sell for money.
Without anyone noticing, they shifted the blame eastward, turning the conflict into an external one between the Qin family and other families.
If the two families fall out, it won't just be a simple matter of whether the jewelry is real or fake.
By then, everyone will be too overwhelmed to investigate her.
Xu Yanxin felt a wave of fear wash over her, and her body trembled involuntarily.
She didn't expect the consequences to be so severe.
She only thought of the first point. If Xu Lengyu hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have known that the simple issue of counterfeit jewelry could affect the Qin family's business.
Aunt Guo is too ruthless.
She's trying to kill the Qin family.
Xu Lengyu was also indignant: "This woman is too wicked. The key is that she is vicious and doesn't hesitate to cheat people."
She's very skilled at this. She's been your nanny for so long; she might have used similar methods to scam you before. You'd better be careful.
Xu Yanxin also thought this made a lot of sense, and decided to tell her father everything later.
It would be best to thoroughly investigate Aunt Guo and Qin Huaiyu to see if they had ever set a trap for their family.
You see, she has always trusted Aunt Guo and Qin Huaiyu, and there's no guarantee that they won't use her or the Qin family's name to do bad things.
Seeing Xu Yanxin's pale face and her completely lost expression, Yuan Yangyang sighed.
With a soft heart, she said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do lately. I'll go to the auction with you so we can look out for each other."
Xu Lengyu quickly said, "Me too, I want to go too. I'll expose that woman's scheme on the spot and see how she tries to deny it."
"I can't stand these kinds of wicked people who bully their masters. I'll beat them when they're down and make sure they can never recover."
After the group finished discussing, Xu Yanxin lost her desire to go shopping and they all left.
Xu Yanxin seemed to have grown up in an instant, losing some of her timidity.
She was very happy to be with Yuan Yangyang and the others, and her mood became more open and cheerful.
Before the charity auction began, something big happened to Xu Yanxin.
Yuan family.
"Yangyang, I'm so upset. Although I've long realized that Qin Huaiyu's feelings for me aren't entirely sincere, but rather that he wants to keep me by his side and use me as a tool to bring him wealth and glory."
But I never expected that he would have no moral bottom line at all.
He's still nominally my boyfriend, but he's using the Qin Group as a front while trying to dump me and find someone better. I never imagined he could be such a scoundrel!
Xu Yanxin felt somewhat embarrassed to speak, but at the same time, she was also somewhat relieved.
If it weren't for Yuan Yangyang and Xu Lengyu reminding her and repeatedly urging her to pay attention, she wouldn't have been able to take it seriously.
She would never have known that the other party was using her to gain benefits and resources while simultaneously using the name of the Qin Group's heir as a springboard to deliberately approach other wealthy heiresses.
I really don't know if he was blinded by greed or just incredibly stupid.
He dares to have his cake and eat it too; isn't he afraid that if the two boats capsize, he'll drown?
In the end, not only did they fail to defy fate, but they also ended up with nothing.
Xu Lengyu, listening from the side, frowned and said indignantly, "Men are all the same!"
"Especially those short-sighted, unambitious men from humble backgrounds who try to take shortcuts—they're all bad news!"
Judging from Xu Lengyu's level of resentment, she must have been thinking about her scumbag boyfriend from the past.
Yuan Yangyang glanced at her brothers sitting upright in the living room and felt relieved.
Fortunately, so far, none of her brothers have gone astray, nor have they developed the traits of scumbags.
Otherwise, she would be so disgusted by seeing him every day.
Yuan Yangyang sighed inwardly.
I remember in the book, after President Qin had his accident and Xu Yanxin committed suicide due to depression, the son-in-law of the Qin Group remarried not long after, and it was a marriage between wealthy families.
Perhaps Xu Yanxin died to make room for his new wife.
After all, judging from the plot of the book, if Qin Huaiyu is indeed the son-in-law of the Qin family, he is absolutely capable of killing his wife to make way for her.
Xu Lengyu looked at Xu Yanxin in surprise, a flash of panic and worry crossing her eyes.
I've made up my mind to keep a close eye on Xu Yanxin. Although she seems quite clear-headed now, she's still naive, and it would be troublesome if she were to be deceived by a scumbag.
Because there were still many things to be resolved at the new company, Yuan Sixiao and Yuan Si'an, who stayed behind to discuss things with Yuan Yangyang, happened to overhear this explosive news.
The two girls, who had originally planned to leave and talk to Yuan Yangyang and her friends, paused for a moment, then silently sat back down in their original seats.
It's been a long time since I've had any gossip.
It tastes best when it's hot.
Don't rush to leave, wait a little longer.
