Gu Heng’s gaze flickered, and he suddenly looked up at Su Ran.
“What do you mean by that?”
Su Ran simply raised her eyebrows indifferently without speaking.
Gu Heng’s pupils contracted, looking at her in disbelief.
“Are you going to destroy the Gu Family?”
Su Ran crossed her arms over her chest, leaning against the wall nearby, her posture cold and noble, her red lips slightly curved.
“Destroy the Gu Family? Haven’t I always been doing that?”
Gu Heng was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xiao Ran had once said she would destroy both the Su Family and the Gu Family, but he had always thought she was just speaking in anger, a struggle against her unwillingness!
And now, were the Gu Family and the Su Family that easy to destroy?
So, Xiao Ran was destined to be disappointed!
Thinking this, he let out a sigh of relief and looked at her helplessly.
“Xiao Ran, you’re still a member of the Su Family after all, can’t you just apologize to your family? Grandmother is stern and cold, and towards you, she… If you keep this attitude, she will definitely make things difficult for you…”
Gu Heng spoke implicitly, but the meaning of his words was clear to both of them.
“You want to destroy both the Gu Family and the Su Family, but you must also be very clear in your mind that this is simply impossible. Xinyan is very confident about this competition, and she has also received Teacher Weng’s approval. Her design is truly perfect, and furthermore…”
“And furthermore, the Gu Family and the Su Family are branches of the same tree. The Su Family’s difficulties are only temporary. As long as the Gu Family provides financial support to help the Su Family through this crisis, all the obstacles will be overcome. In the future, the Gu Family and the Su Family will reach new heights of glory, and it will be as easy as turning over my hand to deal with me.”
Su Ran raised her hand to stop Gu Heng from continuing and casually finished the sentence for him.
“That’s not it, Xiao Ran, I never thought of hurting you!” Gu Heng hurried to explain.
Su Ran didn’t care, but she laughed and asked him in return.
“So, has the Gu Family really invested in the Su Family’s production line?”
Gu Heng paused and nodded.
“Xiao Ran, given the current relationship between the Gu Family and the Su Family, it’s impossible for us to just stand by and do nothing, and there’s no reason not to!”
“As expected, with your deep affection for Xinyan and her design truly winning the competition, the Gu Family will only collect tenfold or a hundredfold returns on whatever amount they’ve invested now. Any smart person knows how to choose.”
Gu Heng’s eyes slightly brightened, but Su Ran’s next words utterly extinguished the light in his eyes.
“But, Gu Heng, if I can see this clearly myself, why am I still so confident about destroying both the Su Family and the Gu Family?”
Gu Heng’s chest tightened, and he looked at Su Ran somewhat bewildered.
Su Ran’s red lips curled slightly, and her expression was shimmering, like the captivating yet dangerous manzanita.
“Because my confidence comes from you. The premise of Xinyan convincing the Gu Family to invest is that her design can truly win. But what if her work doesn’t win? Or what if her work isn’t even eligible to be released?
What will the Gu Family do then? What will become of the money the Gu Family has invested? Given your trust and expectations for Xinyan, the Gu Family must have poured in a significant portion of their assets, right? After all, you’re deluded by dreams of breaking into foreign markets, so, Gu Heng…”
Su Ran smiled as she spoke, her shimmering eyes looking at Gu Heng, the arc of her lips rising like a final verdict against him.
“The Gu Family is destined to lose everything!”
Gu Heng’s heart contracted, and he looked straight at Su Ran.
“What do you mean? Why would Xinyan’s work be ineligible for release?”
His voice was urgent and panicked, tinged with a hint of coldness.
Su Ran’s face bore a cold smirk, which in Gu Heng’s eyes, seemed to be freighted with terrifying cruelty.
“After the award ceremony, you’ll see why!”
Having said that, she stood up straight, giving him a dismissive glance, and attempted to leave.
At that moment, Gu Heng snapped back to his senses and lunged forward in large strides, blocking her path once again.
“Step aside.” Her voice was cold as if wrapped in frost.
Gu Heng didn’t move. His handsome face was filled with coldness, and a touch of blood-red color stained his eyes.
“Xiao Ran, why? Why must you go after the Su Family and the Gu Family? What unforgivable sin have we committed to make you disregard our past affections? Can’t we live in peace? Why must you do this?!”
Gu Heng’s voice was pained and tangled.
This wasn’t Xiao Ran!
This wasn’t the Xiao Ran he used to know!
Su Ran scoffed, her gaze piercing into Gu Heng’s heart like shards of ice.
“Why? Because I hold grudges! Because I live for revenge, narrow-hearted! Because I would rather ruin the Su Family and the Gu Family than let that mother and daughter get off lightly!
They stole everything from me and my mother, and now they’re sitting pretty, enjoying their ill-gotten gains, even trying to use my things to lead the Su Family and the Gu Family to the pinnacle. Why should they? Why should there be such perfect things in the world?
Isn’t she the renowned ‘Heart’? Isn’t she the one brimming with talent, the favorite of all? Wait until the Gu Family is on the verge of bankruptcy, struggling to survive, then she can use her talent, her fame, to help the Gu Family revive. Have a taste of shared hardship and joy with you! But before that, give me back what’s mine!”
As for what unforgivable things you did…”
Su Ran sneered, looking at him with a hint of mockery.
“Gu Heng, you can’t possibly think the fact that you and Su Xinyan placed a cuckold’s hat on my head can be wiped away with your few words of insincere apology, can you?
My dignity is important, my face is important, and I have always liked to see the tables turn, so you need to pay a price for what you’ve done before you can apologize.”
As Su Ran spoke, she sneered and was about to walk past him when she stopped again.
“Oh, and by the way, if the Gu Family really can’t make it, don’t forget to come to me. Considering our past, I don’t mind acquiring Chongguang!”
Having said that, she left for good!
Gu Heng’s face turned extremely ugly, as Xiao Ran repeatedly said that Xinyan and her mother had stolen everything from them.
But what exactly had Xinyan stolen that filled her with such intense hatred?
The Gu Family will go bankrupt?
With the Su Family and the Gu Family working together, how could they go bankrupt?
Xinyan had assured him she would win the title.
Xiao Ran must be just sore from losing, trying to scare him.
This is the World Designer Competition, where she, a first-timer, couldn’t possibly change anything.
He tried to comfort himself with this thought, but his heart, clenched tight ever since Su Ran’s definitive words, had not relaxed.
Back in her room, Su Ran sat on the sofa, thinking back to her conversation with Gu Heng, and sneered.
She truly didn’t mind acquiring Chongguang, and Zisu was indeed looking to expand, wasn’t it?
This was a perfect opportunity!
She had been busy all morning and was sweating quite a bit. Planning to take a bath and change clothes, she then intended to go shopping at the mall to pick out a dress for the award ceremony tomorrow.
