Su Jiuyi understood the principle of being outnumbered, and she had no intention of escaping. If she really wanted to leave, she wouldn’t have waited until now, so she decided not to go out.

After returning to her room, she made a phone call to Qi Jingren. She originally planned to chat with her, but Qi Jingren told her she was on her way back to the President’s Mansion and it was inconvenient to talk.

Su Jiuyi expressed her understanding and then hung up the phone.

She spent an afternoon in boredom, organizing all the clothes in the wardrobe.

Zhao Shuya’s card game also broke up, and Su Zhenxiong arrived home at six o’clock, looking hurried as if something had happened.

"What’s wrong?"

As soon as Su Zhenxiong walked in, Zhao Shuya noticed something was off about him, so she quickly went up to ask.

Su Zhenxiong irritably took off his coat, and seeing this, Zhao Shuya immediately reached out to take it and asked again, "What on earth is wrong?"

Su Zhenxiong sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette. He remained silent, leaving Zhao Shuya anxiously waiting by his side.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally spoke, "The Sun Family is bankrupt."

"What?" Zhao Shuya looked at him in disbelief. "Did you say the Sun Family is bankrupt?"

"Yes." Su Zhenxiong said, "It happened at eleven in the morning. The news has spread everywhere, but I just found out." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Oh my god! How could this happen!" Zhao Shuya sat down weakly and said, "If we continue relations with the Sun Family, our family might get dragged into it. But if we sever ties, what if they make a comeback in the future?"

Zhao Shuya’s words were precisely what worried Su Zhenxiong. In the business world, few people have smooth sailings; many lose everything today and start from scratch tomorrow.

Although the Sun Family is bankrupt now, there is no certainty that they won’t make a comeback. So, Su Zhenxiong is now very hesitant, unsure about continuing the marriage ties with the Sun Family.

"No, no, no. I still think it’s best not to keep in contact with the Sun Family. Think about it, their bankruptcy must leave them with huge debts. If Su Jiuyi marries into their family, those debt collectors will eventually come after us. Why bring trouble upon ourselves?"

Zhao Shuya, being cowardly and money-oriented, views the Sun Family as having lost their usefulness, so she believes it’s best to cut ties as soon as possible.

Su Zhenxiong is not one to be easily frightened or avoid trouble, but he doesn’t like inviting trouble upon himself or meddling in others’ affairs. He thought Zhao Shuya made some sense, so after careful consideration, he made a decision.

"Call the Sun Family to ask about their situation, just tell them we know about what happened and if there’s anything we can help with, just let us know. The current urgent task is to find a solution. As for the marriage, let’s postpone it and reconsider after everything settles down," Su Zhenxiong said.

Following Su Zhenxiong’s instructions, Zhao Shuya called the Sun Family. Unexpectedly, as soon as they received the call, they cursed, "You Su Family people are such bad luck! We haven’t even had the matchmaking yet, and our family went bankrupt! If she really marries in, there’ll be no one left to carry on our family! Beep—"

Zhao Shuya didn’t even have the chance to say a word before the other party hung up. She was stunned for a while before coming to her senses and looked at Su Zhenxiong, "What is going on here?"
