Chapter 234: Give an inch and they’ll take a mile. Chapter 234: Give an inch and they’ll take a mile. Su Hongde glanced at her and saw the eagerness on Su Xinyan’s face, smiled gently, and then returned his gaze to the tablet.
“He just signed with a new company, but it seems it’s not very famous; the internet is already in an uproar.”
“Isn’t he just ruining his own brand? Signing with some unknown little company, isn’t he afraid he’s not fading away fast enough?” Tan Lirong said disdainfully.
“Not necessarily, now that company is known by the whole network, isn’t it?”
Wen Peipei’s elderly eyes flickered with a shrewd glint.
The smile on Su Xinyan’s face suddenly froze.
“Which company is it?”
“It’s called something like Zisu… What’s wrong?”
Su Hongde keenly noticed the change in Su Xinyan’s expression.
Su Xinyan tugged at her stiff smile, looking very unwell.
Wen Peipei and the others might not know, but how could she not know Zisu was Ye Zhichen’s company.
She was determined to oppose her!
Moreover, with the Xu Family’s news and the signing news coming out, it had effectively suppressed the scandal surrounding her!
That bitch had played a good hand.
Su Xinyan was very unwilling!
“With these news stories coming out, it has indeed overshadowed the scandal around Xiao Ran, which is quite good,”
Tan Lirong offered understandingly, presenting herself like a kind and benevolent stepmother.
In reality, she wished the people online would tear Su Ran apart. Yaosang Qianyue’s daughter should be condemned by thousands, she thought.
Thinking of Yaosang Qianyue, Tan Lirong felt her teeth itch with hatred. That cheap woman was just like her daughter, always carrying a cold, aloof, and arrogant demeanor.
They never regarded her and her daughter with any consideration, equally detestable.
“From now on, don’t mention that beast at home, act as if she’s dead; the Su family has no such person anymore.”
At the mention of Su Ran, Wen Peipei’s old face immediately fell, and her complexion became even more somber.
Su Xinyan curled her lips.
“Who did you say is dead?”
Right then, an old and weighty voice traveled from the staircase.
Su Xinyan stiffened at the sound and, looking toward its source, she saw Su Zhongyuan, who seldom joined them for meals, suddenly appearing, her eyes lighting up a bit.
Wen Peipei’s face slightly stiffened and darkened further.
“I’m asking you, who did you say is dead!”
Seeing the situation turning sour, Su Hongde immediately intervened to smooth things over.
“Dad, Mom didn’t mean that. It’s just that, recently… Xiao Ran has been too much, that’s why Mom…”
The harsh low roar scared Su Hongde into immobility.
“Why are you yelling at Hongde? What, can’t I even speak badly of her? Look at all the terrible things that wretch has done. She’s intentionally opposing me. She wants to cut ties with the family, right? I’ll make it easy for her!”
“Make it easy for her? Her own sister stole her boyfriend, her real father is worse than her stepfather, and her own grandmother pushed her into the fire pit–is that how you ‘make it easy’ for her?”
The faces of everyone present changed at once!
Su Zhongyuan walked over slowly, his expression dark.
“When you’re questioning what Xiao Ran has done, you should also ask yourself what you’ve all done, pushing your own granddaughter to a man with a terrible reputation and expecting her to repay you with kindness, utterly overreaching!”
Wen Peipei suddenly looked up, anger plain on her aged face.
“What do you mean I’m overreaching? She’s not an innocent person anyway, what right does she have to despise anyone? It’s her fortune that the Xu Family would consider her. Instead of feeling grateful, she opposes me at every turn. If she’s not a beast, what is she?”
ps: The is under review; it seems I didn’t write anything problematic, so why wouldn’t it pass?
In the future, I might only be able to offer bland content; things like ‘driving’ are not permitted by the backend!
