A video post from Liu Yinyue went viral and she accused her former mother-in-law, Xia Xuehua, who works at Agricultural Development Bank of China, of collecting suspicious assets.
The accusations placed Xia and her husband, surnamed Li, who works at Zhongyuan Agricultural Insurance Company, a state-owned insurance firm, under the spotlight. The insurance company told the Beijing Youth Daily that Li is under investigation amid the accusations made in Liu’s video.
Liu said: “[Xia] did not go to work at all this year, but she still received her salary every month. She has grabbed her share of the state assets.”
Liu also claimed Xia, “has eight flats, nine shops and four cars. They only use and wear luxury brands.” She added that two of the family’s cars are Mercedes-Benz, one is BMW and the fourth one is a Volkswagen Passat.
The claims could not be corroborated, and neither Xia nor her husband responded publicly.

Public pressure grew to the point that the Agricultural Development Bank of China had to release a statement that said Xia had not received any gifts or money from clients or had leveraged her position to commit other crimes.
