Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 488 - 487: Tainted Milk Powder

"I’m afraid so."

Nalan Yuanhe is Nalan Hongtu’s eldest son. He knew that Gu Xiaoqing controlled many local TV stations nationwide, so he felt that this was Gu Xiaoqing’s doing.

"Damn it, are you men being played like puppets by a woman?"

Nalan Hongtu shouted angrily.

At this moment, Nalan Yuanshan, who was sitting next to Nalan Yuanhe, stammered, "Dad, that girl is tough. I’m afraid this isn’t over yet."

"Not over yet? What would it take to be over?"

Nalan Hongtu roared.

Just then, a beautiful woman rushed in from outside the courtyard, shouting, "Yuanshan, Yuanshan, quick, turn on the TV, watch the news, something big has happened!"

Nalan Yuanshan, who had been scolded by his father, suddenly felt uneasy and thought, could I be right?

Nalan Hongtu turned on the TV and saw CCTV News reporting a story.

"In many regions, numerous infants have developed kidney stones. The quality supervision department has detected chemicals—melamine—in the milk powder from Sanpu Dairy that infants consumed. In response to this toxic milk powder incident, the relevant authorities swiftly took action, sampling milk powder from Sanpu and found all samples contained melamine. Moreover, renowned enterprises like Aili, Mongnai, and Guangmin also had melamine in their milk powder, with a large quantity failing to meet standards."

Bam!

The remote control slipped from Nalan Hongtu’s hand and fell to the ground as he stared blankly at the screen, feeling as if the sky had fallen on an old man’s world.

At this moment, the news anchor further said, "The only manufacturer with all indicators fully compliant with international standards is a milk powder brand called ’Aier’ under Qingyun Company. Although this milk powder is expensive, it seems the price is justified."

"Under Qingyun Company? That company under Gu Xiaoqing? Producing Wang Xiaoji, and almost pushing our Jianlibao off the top spot in the beverage industry, Qingyun Company?"

Nalan Hongtu suddenly felt that all this was premeditated!

Indeed, it was premeditated. Even Xiao Wu, upon seeing the report, understood why Gu Xiaoqing had repeatedly instructed him so.

This toxic milk powder incident alone is likely to immediately elevate the ’Aier’ brand to a dominant position domestically.

With local milk powder collapsing entirely, only ’Aier’ remains resilient.

The previously loss-making ’Aier’ turned profitable within just a month, leaving Xiao Wu astounded as milk powder sold out in many places. It was only then that Xiao Wu understood why Gu Xiaoqing had warned him that even if the milk supply was insufficient, the product quality should not be compromised.

Dammit, he had even wanted to lower standards and produce more milk powder.

However, in the end, he still didn’t do it, because Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t after quick money; she wanted to build a brand.

Soon, international responses to the Sanpu toxic milk powder incident emerged, with events like the floods and shoddy projects also surfacing one after the other.

The Nalan family became an empty shell in an instant!

Almost everyone in the Nalan family, except for the aging Nalan Hongtu, was embroiled in lawsuits and debts, and many had even been arrested.

Gu Xiaoqing also officially married Fang Shaohan.

At the wedding, Fang Zhixue smiled as she toasted to Gu Xiaoqing and whispered, "Didn’t expect you’d take down the Nalan family just like that."

"That’s what happens when the tail wags the dog."

Gu Xiaoqing clinked glasses affectionately with Fang Zhixue.

Meanwhile, Li Xuemei, tearful, couldn’t accept her daughter’s marriage, and Gu Ruhai had to keep comforting her.

Bai Zhongyuan also brought great gifts to congratulate Gu Xiaoqing and Fang Shaohan for finally coming together. Gu Xiaoqing remembered Jiang Limin and asked, "How is Jiang Limin doing?"

"She has been sent abroad with the help of overseas mental health professionals. Hopefully, she will come out of the shadows."

Bai Zhongyuan sighed, realizing that Jiang Limin, despite her poor temperament and personality, was innocent and pitiful at heart.

"Thank you for all your effort, Bai Zhongyuan."

Fang Shaohan was also very sorry to hear about Jiang Limin’s situation but remained grateful to Bai Zhongyuan.

Though Bai Zhongyuan was a bit of a playboy, he was kind to everyone in the compound and his friends, even personally taking Jiang Limin to the United States for treatment.

After all, during these times, mental health care in China lagged behind international standards.

"Don’t mention it. I also have a responsibility in this matter, and besides, it was all thanks to Gu Xiaoqing—or I should say sister-in-law—who used her connections. Otherwise, I couldn’t have contacted such a good hospital."

As Bai Zhongyuan spoke, he suddenly realized he should change his words.

Looking around, Bai Zhongyuan curiously asked, "Where’s Shaonan? Didn’t he come?"

He knew Fang Shaonan couldn’t let go of Gu Xiaoqing all this time, and the relationship between the brothers was quite complicated.

"He’s probably troubled right now."

Gu Xiaoqing chuckled lightly.

"What?"

Fang Shaohan whispered a few words in Bai Zhongyuan’s ear.

Bai Zhongyuan’s eyes widened in interest, "Where is she? Take me to see. I need to see what girl could be so extraordinary."

Fang Shaohan took Bai Zhongyuan to the backstage dressing room of the wedding, where sounds of chaos could be heard.

"Fang Shaonan, I just want to ask you, do you like me?"

Ye Mingyue’s voice seemed to pierce through, and the closed door of the dressing room couldn’t muffle her exceptionally loud voice.

Evidently, Ye Mingyue was drunk.

"Mingyue, you’re drunk, can you please..."

"What do you mean please, I just want to know if you like me or not. Don’t answer with anything else. Like or don’t like?"

"There are people outside..."

"What are you afraid of? I’m Ye Mingyue, upright and straightforward. Answer quickly."

Bai Zhongyuan was stunned. Even he had seen Ye Mingyue before, a really good girl.

He didn’t expect her to be so bold.

At this point, Guo Donghua walked over in bridesmaid attire, motioning for Bai Zhongyuan and the others who were eavesdropping to leave, "Go, go, don’t listen to their private matters. How could you have such a habit? It’s not polite at all."

"It’s not like I’m intentionally listening; the voice just went into my ears."

Bai Zhongyuan protested his innocence.

Suddenly, from inside the dressing room, Fang Shaonan’s voice came out, "I like you, alright?"

"Not alright."

"Ah?" Fang Shaonan was stunned to hear Ye Mingyue’s response.

"I want you to say it several more times."

Crash!

It sounded as if the two fell to the ground.

"Hey, don’t, don’t climb on... Quick, get up. This, this doesn’t seem appropriate, right?"

"No, say it several more times."

Guo Donghua was suddenly furious, bursting through the door and shouting, "I say, you two, this is Xiaoqing’s wedding, engaging in such indecent behavior in broad daylight!"
