After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 226: I Really Don’t Care About Your Su Family!
Yuan Chong and Xu Haicong finished their exchange and got into their cars one after the other. After hanging up with Qin Yue, Su Xiyang started working. Shen Fanyun was still sleeping soundly; for him, any time before 10 a.m. was still early morning.
「Meanwhile.」
At the Su Family residence, Old Master Su leaned on his cane, watching the news on TV with a baffled expression. The words "Hong Hai Capital" occasionally flashed before his eyes.
This is a major corporation. How could it be embroiled in tabloid news like this? Based on my understanding, Hong Hai Capital’s public relations capabilities are outstanding in Capital City. A large-scale negative news outbreak like this is completely illogical.
Since Su Ziye had been imprisoned and Su Xiyang had cut ties with the family, the Su residence had grown much quieter. Now, another grandson was away in a different city, and who knew when he would ever return. With nothing else to do, the old master spent his days watering plants and watching television.
However, Su Xiyang’s birth mother, Wang Qing, had recently come to Hangcheng City. They had spoken, and Wang Qing had expressed her desire to take Su Xiyang away, but unfortunately, Su Xiyang was not cooperative.
"Lady Wang revealed that the crisis Hong Hai Capital is facing is related to Miss Xi Yan," the old butler informed Su Ke. Lady Wang, of course, was Wang Qing.
"Hmm?" Su Ke was taken aback. How on earth did Hong Hai Capital get involved with Su Xiyang? There should be no reason for their paths to cross. And how did it escalate into such a huge storm?
"I heard that one of the top bosses of Hong Hai Capital, Director Xu Haicong himself, has come to Hangcheng City," the old butler added.
Here to hold her accountable? What kind of massive trouble has Su Xiyang stirred up this time? Could it bring trouble to the Su Family? Even though we’ve cut ties, she’s still a Su. If Xu Haicong gets angry and decides to deal with the Su Family as well, wouldn’t I become an innocent victim? Then again, perhaps this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What if I step in as a peacemaker? Get Su Xiyang to obediently apologize to Xu Haicong and make amends?
As long as I give the nod and offer her the chance to return to the Su Family, I’m sure she’ll do as I say. If I manage to resolve such a major crisis for Hong Hai Capital, I wouldn’t have to worry about securing a partnership with them, would I?
Su Ke considered the plan seriously. The feasibility was very high.
Su Xiyang’s greatest dream has always been to achieve something substantial enough to gain my—her own grandfather’s—recognition, to make me see her in a new light. In other words, despite our huge conflict and months of no contact, my authority still carries weight in her heart.
Su Ke made a snap decision, ordering the butler, "Go, prepare the car." He was going to talk to Xi Yan in person.
He had always known the address of Su Xiyang’s new company. For a family of their stature, keeping tabs on one person was an easy feat.
「At 10 o’clock sharp.」
Shen Fanyun got up. His stomach was growling, and he was ravenous. Fortunately, the hotel had prepared his breakfast half an hour earlier, right on his schedule. After eating, he went straight to Su Xiyang’s company.
On the way, Lin Meiqing sent him a few messages. They were about trivial matters, but her purpose was clear: to ask when Shen Fanyun would visit her.
Shen Fanyun shrank back and sighed deeply. She’s beautiful, considerate, and very accommodating, but unfortunately, her stamina is overwhelming. I just can’t keep up.
"I’ve been busy lately, let’s talk later," Shen Fanyun typed and sent to Lin Meiqing.
Upon arriving at Su Xiyang’s company, he was surprised to find her even more enthusiastic than usual. She came right up, hugged him, and planted a sweet kiss on his cheek.
"Yun, thank you," Su Xiyang chuckled.
Shen Fanyun unlocked his phone and quickly figured out the reason for her gratitude.
"However, the top boss of Hong Hai Capital wants to talk to me in person," Su Xiyang informed him.
Shen Fanyun nodded. "No problem."
"Mhm."
Just as they exchanged a few words, Old Master Su appeared at the doorway, leaning on his cane. He glanced around Su Xiyang’s office. "The decor is pretty good," he commented.
Su Xiyang’s gaze sharpened, completely stunned to see her grandfather there. After several months of no contact, their relationship had grown distant, and she was at a loss for what to do.
Logically, leaving the Su Family meant we would never see each other again. Besides, he detests me from the bottom of his heart. And now, he’s actually lowering himself to visit my company?
"What’s the matter, am I not welcome?" Su Ke asked, his face as stern as ever.
Without a word, Su Xiyang poured a cup of tea, treating him as if he were merely a client.
"I have something to discuss with you," Su Ke began, straight to the point. He then cast a meaningful glance at Shen Fanyun, who was lounging on the sofa playing on his phone. The implication was clear: he wanted Shen Fanyun to make himself scarce.
I have a terrible impression of Shen Fanyun; in fact, I despise him. If it weren’t for him, Su Ziye wouldn’t have ended up in prison with no way out. I’ve wanted to kill Shen Fanyun more than once, but unfortunately, I lack the power. Now, I can only pin my hopes on others. That kid is stirring up so much trouble in Hangcheng City; he’s bound to meet his downfall sooner or later. It’s just a matter of waiting! Perhaps this turmoil between Su Xiyang and Hong Hai Capital is my chance. I could use Hong Hai Capital’s power to eliminate Shen Fanyun. That brat can’t possibly be so powerful that even Hong Hai Capital can’t suppress him, can he? They’re one of the top corporations in Capital City, dozens of times larger than the Su Family. Their network and overall strength are beyond comparison!
"Just say what you need to say," Su Xiyang responded coolly.
Shen Fanyun continued playing his game, not even giving Su Ke a single glance.
Su Ke frowned. I didn’t expect Su Xiyang to be so assertive. She won’t even comply with a simple request?
"Is my request unreasonable? This is a private conversation between a grandfather and his granddaughter. What do you mean by letting an outsider sit here?" Su Ke asked, his dissatisfaction clear.
"He’s not an outsider," Su Xiyang replied with her arms crossed. Her retort left Su Ke stunned for a long moment. "Is that reason enough for you?"
Su Ke was left speechless.
"Xi Yan, I hope you’ll stop being willful. If you continue to disobey me, I will never give you the chance to return to the Su Family!
"I’m giving you an opportunity, and you need to seize it, not defy me. Have you forgotten everything I taught you about how to behave and obey?"
Unable to contain himself any longer, Su Ke reverted to his old lecturing tone, staring coldly at Su Xiyang. From my point of view, returning to the Su Family is her greatest wish right now!
However, Su Xiyang remained eerily calm. She snorted with disdain and dismissed him with a laugh. "I’ve never once thought about returning to the Su Family.
"Besides, is there anything in the Su Family worth my time?
"It’s not a top-tier family, nor can it provide me with business resources. What is there for me to covet?"
Su Ke fell silent, completely stunned.
