Chapter 647 The Ungrateful Wretch
"My dear relatives, please don't rush to leave. The Su family might still have a chance to recover. If you leave now, the Su family will be finished," Jiang Biyun said urgently, understanding the gravity of the situation.
However, the Su family relatives seemed not to hear her.
"You only remember us now? But what does this have to do with us?"
Jiang Bixia pushed her sister aside, while others pouted disdainfully.
"Don't you forget, without the Su family, you wouldn't have what you have today. Otherwise, you might still be working in an electronics factory or on a construction site. Now, I'm only asking each of you to contribute fifty million!" Jiang Biyun shouted, "Is that too much to ask?"
These relatives had all prospered because of the Su family and enjoyed a life of luxury. Yet, now that the Su family was in crisis and needed them to contribute fifty million to save it, they were ungrateful and unwilling to part with a single cent.
Ungrateful wretches!
At this moment, Jiang Biyun was filled with regret, blaming herself for always making concessions for the sake of her relatives.
"Jiang Biyun, what do you mean? You get what you earn. We worked hard for the Su family, and that's what you owe us!"
"We relied on the Su family? Do you know how much effort we put in for the Su family?"
Instead of feeling ashamed, the Su family relatives held their heads high, considering themselves as contributors to the Su family's rise.
"You..."
Jiang Bixia covered her face, her eyes red. She had always known they were greedy, but she never expected the Su family relatives to turn their backs on them.
"It seems the Su family never really considered us family. Let's all leave!" Jiang Bixia waved her hand and turned to leave, with others following closely behind.
The most disappointed were Wang Xiuchun and David. The mother and son had returned from abroad with the primary intention of acquiring some assets from the Su family, only to find the Su family facing such a dire predicament. They sighed and followed the Su family members out.
Jiang Biyun looked dejected. In her anger, she turned and yelled at Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, it's all your fault! Why did you have to bring up money? If you hadn't mentioned money, they might not have left the Su family. Now that they've left, and the distributors have also left, Su's Pharmaceutical is truly finished!"
Chen Xuan remained expressionless.
Su Yunxi said, "Mom, it's not Chen Xuan's fault. Don't you know what they're like?"
Hearing this, Jiang Biyun regained some composure, realizing that Su Yunxi was right. She gritted her teeth, turned, and rushed upstairs.
"Chen Xuan, don't be angry. Mom was just overwhelmed with emotions," Su Yunxi said tenderly, glancing at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly and replied, "It's fine, Yunxi. It's just a small matter." He had said those words precisely to shift everyone's resentment from Su Yunxi to himself. However, he paid no mind to any scorn or ridicule.
Soon, Su Yunxi received the news that the Su family relatives had withdrawn from Su's Enterprise.
"Those vampires have finally left Su's Enterprise..."
Chen Xuan noticed Su Yunxi's unhappy mood and asked, "Yunxi, why are you still not happy?"
"How can I be happy? These relatives watched me grow up... When I was little, they often bought me toys and candy, and took me to amusement parks..." Su Yunxi sighed. This was the outcome Su Yunxi had desired, and it was also why she had delayed launching their new drug to counter the Gu family. However, she couldn't bring herself to be happy. After all, those relatives were family by blood, and they had left her with many fond memories from her childhood. Yet, as she grew up, everything changed. Why had they all become so materialistic?
However, Su Yunxi's gaze soon firmed. This was perhaps the necessary pain and tempering the Su family had to endure on their path to resurgence. It was like a festering wound; to heal, the pus must be removed and the wound disinfected with alcohol. The process was painful, but only after doing so could the wound heal quickly. With these vampires gone from the Su family, the Su family's enterprise would grow healthily!
"I've decided, we'll launch the new drug tomorrow!" Su Yunxi declared with determination, her eyes sharp.
Seeing Su Yunxi's resolute expression, Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "As far as I know, the Gu family's new drug is priced at over two hundred yuan. If the Gu family sees the price of our new drug, I wonder if they'll find a piece of tofu to smash themselves to death?"
"And those distributors. The relatives who betrayed the Su family, I wonder what expressions they'll have?" Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, eagerly anticipating what tomorrow would bring.
"Yunxi, Mom doesn't have much money on hand right now. Here's one hundred million in cash, a limited edition product from Huo's cosmetics, and a pile of jewelry... See how much you can sell them for..." At this moment, Jiang Biyun came downstairs with a large box. The box was filled with luxury items, including the limited edition handbag she had won from her best friend and her favorite Huo's cosmetic products. She also held a bank card in her hand.
Chen Xuan observed this and stroked his chin. Although his future mother-in-law often vented her anger on him, she was still a sensible person.
"Mom, thank you. When we earn money in the future, I will definitely compensate you!" Su Yunxi initially wanted to refuse, but since it was an act, she had to play the part fully.
"Auntie, don't worry," Chen Xuan took the box and the bank card from Jiang Biyun.
Jiang Biyun nodded and looked at Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, Auntie wasn't intentionally angry with you just now. I apologize."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's arm trembled, almost dropping the box. Fortunately, his quick reflexes prevented it from falling to the ground. He looked at the apologetic Jiang Biyun with surprise, realizing that these words were indeed spoken by Jiang Biyun. His future mother-in-law's attitude towards him had truly changed!
As Chen Xuan's gaze fell upon Jiang Biyun's face, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he couldn't help but frown. Jiang Biyun's forehead was beginning to darken, an accumulation of malevolent energy! Previously, Chen Xuan had read Jiang Biyun's fortune, which indicated a prosperous destiny, not due to her birth, but through her husband and daughter. Such a fate should not manifest with a darkened forehead. What was going on? The malevolent energy was not yet strong enough to affect Jiang Biyun.
He decided to observe further and said, "Auntie, you're too kind. I know Auntie was just anxious and actually meant well for the Su family."
"Then Auntie can rest assured. Later, Auntie will cook braised pork, and you must eat two extra pieces." Jiang Biyun, hearing Chen Xuan's words, felt that Chen Xuan was a good person, much better than those wealthy young masters, and became even more enthusiastic. It was as if Chen Xuan were her own son.
Jiang Biyun turned to go to the kitchen to cook. Chen Xuan proactively offered, "Auntie, I'll help you pick vegetables."
Watching Chen Xuan and Jiang Biyun interact harmoniously, Su Yunxi smiled faintly. From initial disdain to treating him as her own, Su Yunxi knew that all of this was due to Chen Xuan's strength!
"Come early tomorrow!" Su Yunxi looked up at the bright moon in the sky and murmured, her beautiful eyes shining with hope.
