Chapter 41: Parents Who Have Been Insulted
Su Yurou bit her pink lips. She nestled in Gu Zihang’s embrace in agony and looked feebly at Su Wan.
“Zihang, I’m sorry. If we can’t get Wan’s blessing, can we both actually lead a happy life together? I think we’re at fault. You should probably return to Wan and she might be happy.”
Hearing Su Yurou’s nonsense, Su Wan’s brows knitted together. She was disgusted by the white lotus and felt like vomiting.
On the other hand, Gu Zihang’s heart was aching. He hugged Su Yurou. While patting her shoulders lightly, he consoled her gently, “Don’t spout nonsense, I’ll marry you.”
Such an affectionate couple! Su Wan was almost blinded.
She interrupted the lovey-dovey scene. “Su Yurou, keep Gu Zihang to yourself. I don’t need him!”
A scumbag and the white lotus were an ideal couple, it was better not to let them scourge others.
“Wan, I’m really sorry. Zihang says he only loves me. I can’t abandon him and let him be with a girl he doesn’t love.” Su Yurou’s face instantly showed a sense of guilt. “Wan, we’ll make it up to you.”
“Enough!”
Su Wan shot Su Yurou a sideways glance. She didn’t want to see her act anymore.
“Su Yurou, you said you know the truth about my parents’ death. You don’t actually know anything, do you? If this is the case, I’ll leave now.”
When she saw Su Wan drawing the bead curtain, about to leave, Su Yurou didn’t bother keeping up the act of being weak in front of Gu Zihang. She tugged at Su Wan.
Su Wan turned and saw Su Yurou looking at her with tears in her pleading eyes.
Sigh! This woman had good acting skill and looks. It was a waste she did not enter the acting industry.
Su Yurou bit her lips. Her pretty face was filled with tears and she looked pitiful. “Wan, I admit that I’ve used your parents’ deaths as an excuse to lure you here, but I have important things to tell you.”
Su Yurou added, “Wan, please give up on Sheng Yuan’s shares. My family and grandfather have agreed to hand over your original portion of shares to Zihang. When both of us are married, we will formally gift him the shares. Zihang has helped the Su family a lot!”
Su Wan trembled when she heard this.
She thought that she would never be harmed further by her loved ones, but now her heart was heavily wounded, bleeding, and the blood was pouring from the scabs which were healing.
Was this her family?
Su Yurou’s family had ganged up with her grandfather to betray her without her knowledge!
She finally understood she was the outsider.
The temperature in the tea house was much higher than the temperature outside, but Su Wan felt as if she was out in the snow, freezing and trembling.
When Su Yurou saw Su Wan’s face turned ghastly pale in an instant, a sense of satisfaction flashed through Su Yurou’s eyes but was covered up very quickly and carefully.
“Wan, don’t be sad. We’ll really compensate you. The tens of millions that Jing Yuan was worth belongs to you and we’ll provide you another credit card worth five million dollars…”
Her grandfather had said the same thing to her. Now, after Su Yurou’s repetition, Su Wan felt a gloom penetrating deep into her bones.
Su Wan pushed Su Yurou’s hand away and glared at her and Gu Zihang. She shouted harshly at them, “No way! I won’t give up on Sheng Yuan’s shares!”
Gu Zihang and Su Yurou were shocked by the look darted by that pair of red eyes. They watched helplessly as Su Wan left after slamming the door. The after effect of the door slamming was the vigorous movement of the bead curtain.
Su Yurou hid her face in Gu Zihang’s embrace and started to weep sadly, “What should we do? Wan is angry…”
Gu Zihang stroked Su Yurou’s back to console her. Then, he looked at the bead curtain again.
This was the first time he found Su Wan behaving badly. She was a far match from the gentle, likeable, and thoughtful Su Yurou in his embrace.
Su Yurou had noticed Gu Zihang’s detest toward Su Wan and she controlled her laughter. This was the result she wanted!
Su Yurou had not counted on Su Wan to agree to the terms. She knew that Su Wan had no say on Sheng Yuan’s shares. Now she was only a little shrimp but when time comes, Su Wan had to agree!
Her real purpose today was to show Su Wan who the empress of Gu family and Zhuo Ye Group was.
Tonight, there would be something else awaiting her. How would Su Wan react and feel tonight? She was looking forward.
Su Yurou stopped weeping and nestled against Gu Zihang’s embrace as she laughed coldly without making a single sound.
‘Su Wan, you’ve been treasured since young. Even Gu Zihang noticed you first and not me…’
‘I’m deliberately snatching away everything you have. I wish to see you fall from the clouds and turn into mud!’
With Su Yurou’s slender body pressed against him, Gu Zihang’s hand moved downward and probed into the split of her cheongsam.
“Darling, don’t be sad, let’s do something happy.”
Su Yurou hit Gu Zihang’s misbehaving hand. “You were staring at Wan just now. You don’t love me anymore, do you? I’m very sad…”
“How could it be?”
Su Yurou started to tear up again and Gu Zihang wiped away the tears on her face.
“Wan is far from being your match. Yurou, don’t cry, hubby’s heart will ache. I only love you.”
Hearing Gu Zihang’s continuous reassurance, Su Yurou chuckled and offered her red lips to Gu Zihang.
The two of them entangled and the bead curtain shook along with their vigorous movements, covering the absurdity of the room.
On the other side, Su Wan, with a weary heart, bought a bun in a shop by the roadside as her lunch and went back to Long Teng International by taxi.
Life had to go on.
Su Wan spent the whole afternoon at Long Teng International in a hazy and confused state. Even with other people’s taunts, she remained insistent on going home on the dot.
Li Peng and Lin Fei’er had gone out for a date. So, the house was empty. Only Su Wan was at home.
Su Wan’s eyes brushed across the dazzling blue roses in the living hall. She let out a soft sigh and switched on the television.
She flipped through a few channels randomly and on one channel, she saw Su Yurou’s face in an interview.
“Miss Su, we heard you and Mr. Gu are courting. Is this a commercial connection through marriage for Sheng Yuan Group and Zhuo Ye Group?”
Su Yurou was wearing a white long dress. She looked elegant and had a shy smile on her face.
“No, it’s not a commercial connection through marriage but Zihang had indeed helped Sheng Yuan a lot. A few years back, my second uncle died because he had been chased by his creditors. The company’s share prices dropped tremendously. Fortunately, Zihang was there to help!”
Those words hit Su Wan like a hammer. Her whole body was trembling. Su Yurou was very skilled at slandering her relatives!
Her late parents had always been gentle, sincere, honest, and courteous. How could there be enemies and creditors?
