Cao Zhiyu’s disheveled appearance was completely exposed to the public, and Su Li didn’t just crush him at once because that wouldn’t be fun.
Before, having money really ant one could do whatever one wanted.
Such a climate was not good, and Su Li felt that as a good citizen, it was her responsibility to eliminate such bad phenona from the crowd.
The greater one’s ability, the greater their responsibility.
So, no need to thank her. It was what she should do.
A bad elent like the Cao Family needed to be made an example of, but there was no need to beat them to death with a single stick, after all, the Cao Family was also a major taxpayer, bearing the livelihoods of thousands of ordinary people.
Therefore, whether it was Su Li or those higher up, they all turned a blind eye to the Cao Family bringing out another person to take the bla.
After Cao Zhiyu arrived at the company, decisions were already being rapidly executed.
He, as the sitting president, could only look on helplessly and at the sa ti bear the censure of all the shareholders and the Cao Family Elders, because all these revealed facts had been implented under the watch of Cao Zhiyu, the current president.
On the surface, he was guilty of negligence, but in reality, anyone with clear eyes knew that these things were either instructed or at least condoned by Cao Zhiyu.
Cao Zhiyu clenched his back teeth tightly, and bulging veins were evident on his forehead.
These people, one by one... when they saw the benefits, they smiled and kept silent, praising him as an enlightened president, proclaiming him as an accomplished president; but now, when sothing went wrong, all the arrows pointed at him, which was infuriating.
Cao Zhiyu had lived a smooth life, but he stumbled here.
Even if he wanted revenge, to those above, he was just a troubleso commoner, and to even think of challenging the Heavenly Family was like an old man hanging himself – seeking death.
The Cao Family Elders, however, still consoled him, as this was a policy change that was unfavorable to them. To put a good spin on it, they weren’t the only ones in trouble.
The so-called conscience is only highlighted by comparison with peers. The Cao Family Business, though flawed, was well-known for its good welfare and treatnt.
The Cao Family Elders were perhaps too optimistic, assuming there would be issues in every enterprise to so degree.
But reality told them they thought too much. There truly were companies that focused solely on business, without the ss of other ridiculous ventures.
Previously inconspicuous, even teetering on the brink, but this ti, amidst a host of problematic enterprises, it distinguished itself from those dazzlingly cheap items and soared high into the sky.
By the ti Cao Zhiyu was dizzy from busy handling the aftermath of the incident, he turned around to find...
Damn it, the industry position of the Cao Family Business had already been squeezed out of sight by those miscellaneous companies.
Talking about foul play? Give break, who would dare now...
To say that Su Junjie summoned the dia, hoping to force that Xibei creature and Young Master Cao to comply, but it only made headlines once at the beginning. Besides having so impact on Cao Zhiyu’s reputation, nothing else happened.
Moreover, with the Cao Family Business setting the example, a series of problematic enterprises erged, shifting the public’s attention.
Aside from disgusting Young Master Cao a bit, it didn’t stir up much trouble.
Instead, Su Xi beca annoyed as soon as she stepped out because people pointed and whispered about her.
But soon, Su Xi didn’t have to worry about that sort of thing anymore.
Because even if she went out and people looked closely at her, they would just think she looked a bit like that infamous unfilial girl trending on the internet recently.

In a room with tightly closed doors and windows, curtains kept all the light out.
In the dim room, one could faintly hear the sound of a girl trashing, smashing, and screaming inside.
Along with anger and despair, there was the continuous spread of fear and terror emanating from her.
"What’s going on, what the hell is happening... why has my face changed like this..."
The bedroom floor was strewn with clothes thrown to the ground, costics, and most of all, shattered pieces of a broken mirror.
Su Xi had shrunk into a corner of the bed, her face buried tightly between her knees, her voice quivering with an air of disbelief.
The maid outside heard noises and ca to knock, but Su Xi rudely cursed her away.
"Right, right, right, those two old coots from the Su Family must know the reason..."
The body had been sent by them; they must have done sothing to it, otherwise, it couldn’t have beco like this.
Gripping at straws, Su Xi frantically dialed a number she had previously blocked.
The figure reflected on the screen of the phone she was holding seed vaguely visible.
Su Xi almost threw the phone outright in an "Ah!" It was only the last shred of sanity pressing down on her impulse that stopped her.
The body that originally belonged to "Su Li" now looked markedly different.
Compared to the original owner’s delicate and pretty features, it now resembled a crude, low-grade version.
Rough skin, enlarged pores, the whole face was like an oil field, constantly secreting greasy fluids.
Her bright, big eyes had now beco dim and lifeless, the eye sockets seed to shrink a notch, and the nose lost its forr prominence.
What was even harder to accept: the face that once was a dainty lon seed shape had grotesquely ballooned from sunflower to waterlon seed size.
Her palm-sized face resembled a balloon that had been inflated.
Not just the face, but the body too had changed noticeably; thicker legs, no longer a slender waist.
Even more damning, Su Xi slowly began to recognize upon the features of this body traces of soone familiar...
Soone she desperately wanted to forget...
Ah, ah, it’s crazy, her current appearance, it’s becoming more and more like her plain, even sowhat ugly self from her previous life.
But before Su Junjie’s call could be answered, the doorknob turned from the outside.
Young Master Cao Shaoyu, who had been absent for several days, suddenly appeared.
The abrupt light exposed Su Xi’s significantly altered face under the gaze of her most beloved, leaving nowhere to hide.
Su Xi was initially stunned, looking up vacantly towards the newcor.
In the past, with her looks, she would have been considered adorably dopey.
But now, with a changed face, to Cao Zhiyu’s eyes, it was hard to accept.
Ugly, just too ugly...
Cao Zhiyu felt as if he was seeing hallucinations in broad daylight, his lips pressed tight, he finally asked uncertainly, "Are you Xixi?"
"No, no, you’re definitely not Xixi... Where is she, how co you’re in her bedroom? The maid told she hasn’t ever left the house..."
The maid downstairs, seeing the room door locked tight and often hearing shouts, feared sothing bad had happened, and that’s why she contacted her employer.
It was a coincidence that Cao Zhiyu today had just been stripped of his CEO position by the Cao Family Elders, leaving him with nothing to do, so he rembered his long-unseen girlfriend upon receiving the maid’s call.
He too found it strange; the kitten who used to cling to him had suddenly beco quiet, it had been so ti since their last contact, and she hadn’t once co looking for him.
