Chapter 1503: Chapter 1503: Pleading with Xiao Zhen
Who would dare to come after hearing such words? If they do come, they’ll lose their jobs, and who knows what else. So, no one dared to speak.
Yu Hao was sinking deeper on his own, while on the other side, Su Zining saw Xiao Zhen wanted to catch up but realized that there were layers of people surrounding him, making it impossible to get close.
He immediately lost hope but keenly noticed Xiao Zhen, who was incredibly foolish and likely to agree to his conditions. So, Su Zining hurried to catch up.
"Chairman Xiao, listen to me, that day’s incident was absolutely not how it looked. Give me another chance, moreover Xu Ke is a bad person. He won’t treat the young lady well; he’s actually the imposter. Chairman Xiao, surely you’ll believe me, right? I was truly overwhelmed that day, leading to inappropriate actions toward the young lady. I sincerely plead for your forgiveness."
Su Zining spoke particularly sincerely, nearly ready to kneel before Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen seemed indifferent, knowing Xu Ke was the heir of Xu Group, leaving no room for doubt.
Moreover, Old Mr. Xiao had already confirmed Xu Ke’s identity, proving Wang Cuixia was genuine, making Su Zining’s words unnecessary here.
"I think you’ve made a mistake. We’ve confirmed identities here, so you’re the imposter. Are you still hoping for my help? That’s absolutely impossible. You dared to act against my daughter, there’s only enmity between us, no feelings to discuss."
Upon hearing Xiao Zhen’s words, Su Zining felt a chill. If the deep truth was proven, his identity as an imposter would be exposed, causing suspicion. Yet, he was unwilling to give up the position in high society he’d worked hard to achieve, how could he lose it overnight?
That was unacceptable. So Su Zining, almost possessed, directly blocked Xiao Zhen’s path.
"Is Chairman Xiao distancing from me just because I’m not the so-called destined one? Such a Chairman Xiao is rather merciless. In that case, I admired the wrong person."
At that moment, Su Zining used every trick he could think of, while Xiao Zhen had no interest in listening to this person. With words full of lies and constant scheming, Xiao Zhen had no patience for such a person.
"Enough, shut up. I won’t believe a word you say anymore. You have no credibility with me, so shut up. I have things to do. If you continue to block me, I don’t mind calling security. It’s rare for someone like you to get in here once; losing this chance means you may not get another anytime soon. Cherish this opportunity."
After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Su Zining feeling unprecedented despair. Was this what it felt like to lose everything in a moment? He truly felt it, but why wouldn’t God give him a single chance?
If God were a bit more merciful, he might still have some room to maneuver. But now, it seemed all paths were dead ends.
Reporters never miss a hint of news, learned that Old Mr. Xu was difficult to approach, and with many people on his side, reporters dared not get close.
If they approached, they’d suffer losses too since reporters had sharp eyes, especially sensitive to everything. Hence, they naturally wouldn’t choose to approach a ticking bomb but went straight for others to get news.
Seeing Su Zining alone, those reporters quickly approached. Since Su Zining said things casually, reporters treated him gently, particularly loving to interview him.
"Why didn’t you follow Old Mr. Xiao? You’re supposedly the future heir of Xiao Group, shouldn’t you stick with Old Mr. Xiao? He’s with Old Mr. Xu; surely he’ll introduce you."
"I didn’t go, but now Xu Ke stands with those people, doesn’t it prove Xu Ke is genuine while you’re the imposter? Do you have any explanation for this?"
"Earlier, you were with Chairman of Xiao Group, what were you discussing? Chairman Xiao looked displeased when leaving, was it because your imposture angered him?"
In the past, Su Zining thought these reporters were particularly gentle, even aligning with his own intentions.
No matter the issue, these reporters handled things perfectly. But now, he found them annoying, constantly digging into the matter. Aren’t they just slapping him?
Yet, Su Zining couldn’t unleash anger on these reporters. His face turned sour, wanting to push them away, but no security would help.
Without bodyguards like Old Mr. Xu, he let reporters surround him. Seeing Su Zining silent, reporters spoke even more harshly.
"Is it because your secrets are exposed that you’re eager to leave?"
"Yes, are you leaving in haste due to failure? Besides, Old Mr. Xu hasn’t spoken yet; why not wait for him? Didn’t you claim to be capable? Now that you’ve left Xiao Group, what’s your plan?"
"Do you know impersonation is despicable, fully exposed now? What will you do if it’s revealed? I’d like to hear your opinion; can you speak?"
At this moment, Su Zining wished he could tape shut the reporters’ mouths. Why speak of nothing else, but these matters? Isn’t there anything else?
Suddenly, he grew angry, yet reporters wouldn’t stop talking. If they could speak, they wouldn’t shut up. If they did, where would money come from?
"Dear reporters, listen, I am truly the genuine one. As for the situation, I’m unclear now, so please be patient. Once I have news, I’ll share it immediately, okay?"
After Su Zining’s words, some reporters felt it useless and dispersed, while others analyzed based on his usual behavior and had to let him go, finally giving Su Zining a breath of relief.
Soon the banquet began, with dance performances by famous dancers, looking delightful and well-rehearsed for a month, how could it not be impressive?
