122: Chapter 122 Timely Loss Cutting 122: Chapter 122 Timely Loss Cutting “I only have one request, if I help you secure the cooperation with the Su Family, then you must give me 1% of the shares in An Group.”
Although it is just 1% of the shareholding, considering the current assets of An Group, this is already a substantial wealth.
An Chengyuan was slightly surprised.
Then, the way he looked at her was just like he was looking at a stranger, indifferent and aloof.
Although they were husband and wife, there was not the slightest affection between spouses.
“Lin Yue, even if I agree to this 1% of the shares, do you think the Old Madam would agree?”
The man was already forty-six years old but had maintained himself well, with sharp and distinct features, and an elegant demeanor, only becoming more steady and seasoned.
He didn’t become overweight in middle age like many other men, his figure was still well-maintained.
Every time she saw his estrangement from her, Lin Yue’s heart ached.
Her love for him was no less than Su Wanqiu’s.
But to her, he had always turned a blind eye.
Lin Yue’s gaze heatedly stared at the increasingly charming man before her.
“An Chengyuan, she has been dead for so long, why can’t you even look me in the eye?”
“Lin Yue, from the moment you chose to step into the An Family, I have already said that what you want, even if I die, you can’t have it!”
Lin Yue felt as if her heart was being gnawed by millions of ants.
The assistant kept pacing back and forth outside the door.
There was a document that needed An Chengyuan’s signature, but he dared not enter.
Fearing to encounter a scene he shouldn’t see, hear words he shouldn’t hear, and in the end, it would be him who suffers.
Half an hour later.
Lin Yue was seen walking out of the office with a gloomy face.
He skillfully and quickly lowered his head, pretending to see nothing.
After she entered the elevator, the assistant took the document and headed for An Chengyuan’s office.
He knocked on the door and upon receiving a response, dared to push the door and enter.
“Mr.
An, here is a document that needs your signature.”
An Chengyuan took it, flipped to the last page, and signed his name flamboyantly.
After signing, he looked at the assistant and commanded in a deep voice: “Have someone secretly investigate who Lin Yue has been closely associating with recently.”
The assistant was slightly stunned, then promptly responded, “Yes, Mr.
An.”
…
Sunday noon.
Su He brought Su Heng and Su Yimo to Taoyao Inn.
It was a family gathering today, and Su Tianyi and Yang Shuyi would also be there.
As soon as the three entered, they saw Lin Yue and her daughter, and An Xiao standing in the lobby.
Su He’s gaze casually and indifferently glanced over.
Su Yimo and Su Heng were fully prepared and followed behind her.
They did not recognize anyone from the An Family.
As soon as Su He entered, An Xueyin saw her.
She rolled her eyes at Su He, really bad luck, running into them again!
Su He still did not bother with them.
But An Xueyin just couldn’t change her nature, her mouth was like a parrot in a cage, overly talkative.
Seeing Su He trying to pass by in front of them, she immediately said sarcastically, “Wow, somebody is boldly going out to eat with her lover while her husband’s not around?”
Su He ignored her and walked straight toward the elevator.
But An Xueyin stretched out a hand to stop her, so she had to halt.
Su He frowned and lowered her eyes to look at the arm before her.
Following her, the tall one and the small one also stopped.
Both looked bewildered at this strange woman blocking their way.
Su He lifted her eyelids, her cold eyes shooting towards her: “Are you sick?
If you’re sick, go get treatment!”
An Xueyin’s face changed: “Su He, you’re actually cursing me?”
Su He said: “Did I specifically name you?
You chose to take it personally, is that my fault?”
An Xueyin: “You!”
She held back for a moment then sneered sarcastically, her words sharp: “Su He, you must be feeling guilty, hmm?
Going out to dine with your lover and illegitimate child, you really have some nerve.”
Misunderstood as the lover, Su Heng: “…”
Misunderstood as the illegitimate child, Su Yimo: “…”
Su He coldly said: “You can eat shit recklessly, but you shouldn’t talk recklessly!
Miss An, is your mouth from Shen Gongbao, always so keen on causing trouble?
Oh, also, just how dark is your heart to harbor such filthy thoughts?”
“Loose belt on your part, don’t project your filthy actions onto others!”
An Xueyin has been repeatedly shamed by Su He, yet never learns.
Su He looked at her face distorted by anger.
“Let me offer you a piece of advice.” Su He’s voice was chillingly cold: “Being content brings honor, being prudent brings safety, the greatest disaster comes from not being content, the greatest fault comes from greed.”
An Xueyin frowned, clearly not understanding her elegant words.
Su He chuckled sardonically, raising an eyebrow: “Here’s another one, go home and eat more pig brains to nourish where it’s needed!”
Lin Yue came over and pulled An Xueyin away.
Her face appeared warm and charitable as she looked at her: “Susu, after all, Xueyin is also your…”
“Is also my what?” Su He directly interrupted her: “Ms.
Lin, you wouldn’t be trying to say that she is my sister, would you?”
Her lips slightly curled, a hint of scorn in her eyes: “She and I are neither related by the same father nor mother, in what sense is she my sister?
Just because you took advantage of my mom’s illness to climb into my dad’s bed, ended up official, and dragged this baggage to marry into the An Family, I should consider her my sister?”
Lin Yue, due to Su He’s words, her face, which had undergone expensive maintenance, instantly turned into a palette, extremely ugly.
She hadn’t expected Su He to speak so bluntly in this setting.
Today was the weekend, many people came out to eat.
A reservation was needed for a place at Taoyao Inn, those without one could only wait on site.
At this moment, there were many people waiting in the lobby for seats.
Su He’s voice was not too loud or too soft, audible to those nearby.
Everyone cast disdainful, scrutinizing, and mocking glances at Lin Yue.
Lin Yue felt a chill over her entire being.
“Su He, you are so rude!”
A sharp voice sounded.
It was An Xiao, who had been standing at the side, “Who taught you to talk to an elder like this?”
She stepped forward, like a high and mighty peacock.
An Xiao had never liked Su Wanqiu, naturally, she had no fondness for her daughter either.
This, Su He had known since she was sensible.
She remembered calling her “Aunt” at the age of three, only to be scolded by her, telling her not to ever call her that again.
Even, when no one was around, she directly pushed her into the water pond in the backyard of the An Mansion and walked away.
If it weren’t for a servant passing by at that time, who rescued her promptly, she might have drowned.
Su He simply glanced at her and did not engage.
Her disdainful look, however, made An Xiao quite uncomfortable.
Su He looked a lot like Su Wanqiu, seeing her face was like seeing Su Wanqiu, igniting a raging anger in her heart.
It took long enough for Su Wanqiu to die, but she left behind Su He.
Su He moved forward to continue walking.
But she had barely taken two steps when An Xiao suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.
She furrowed her brows and turned her head to look at her.
She heard her in an unfriendly and sharp tone: “I think you have not a trace of upbringing, was it your poor grandfather who spoiled you?
Indeed a wild girl from the countryside, thinking you’re impressive just because you’ve been abroad and had a sip of foreign ink, huh?
You don’t even greet your elders and speak insolently; today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the ancestors of the An Family!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her other hand, ready to slap her down.
Su He quickly grabbed her hand.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, her clear eyes icy as frost: “Ms.
An, if you slap me today, your life will be over!”
An Xiao felt a chill down her spine upon encountering her cold eyes.
Yet, hearing her haughty tone, she found Su He increasingly annoying: “Su He, I am disciplining you as an elder.
Is there something wrong with that?”
Su He sneered, lowering her voice: “An Xiao, what kind of elder are you to me?
You are not even comparable to a stranger to me, who gave you the courage to discipline me?”
“The ancestors of the An Family?” She hooked the corner of her mouth in a mocking smile: “Don’t forget, I don’t carry the An surname, nor am I in your An Family’s genealogy, what right do you have to speak to me like this?”
“Don’t assume just because you are older, you can relate to me as a relative!
I can’t afford such an elder as you!”
An Xiao, hearing her words, her eyes wrinkled in anger, almost able to squash a mosquito.
After Su He finished speaking, she shook off her hand.
Su Heng and Su Yimo stepped forward, large and small, standing in front of Su He.
“Old witch, if you dare to hit my aunt, I will make sure you enter upright and leave horizontally!”
Su Yimo stood in front of Su He with his arms open, tilting his little head up, glaring at An Xiao with a fierce tone.
“Yes, if you dare to touch my sister, I will dismantle your hand!”
At six feet one, Su Heng immediately imposed a pressure on An Xiao.
Su Heng’s words also stunned An Xueyin.
He called her Su He Sister?
This child calls Su He aunt?
“You all!”
An Xiao’s face turned iron blue, looking at the three in front of her, feeling as if her internal organs were exploding.
At this moment, the manager of Taoyao Inn came over.
He respectfully said to Su He: “Young Madam, you’ve already arrived, Mr.
Su and others are waiting in the private room, he asked me to come down and see if you’ve arrived.”
The manager completely ignored An Xiao and others.
And the manager directly calling Su He “Young Madam” indicated her significant identity, which surprised many, including An Xueyin and others.
In fact, the owner of Taoyao Inn is Jiang Yan, which is not widely known.
Su He nodded upon hearing this, humming affirmatively.
She reached out to grab Su Yimo’s hand, heading toward the elevator.
Everyone watched Su He and others leaving.
In the elevator, the manager asked: “Young Madam, those few people just now, do you need me to have them thrown out?”
Su He: “Not for now, there’s no reason to refuse someone giving us money.”
And with her understanding of An Xiao and Lin Yue, making a scene in public just now, they probably had no face to stay any longer.
Manager: “Alright, Young Madam.”
…
After dinner, Su He and Yang Shuyi went to the restroom together.
She came out first, waiting for her in the corridor outside the restroom.
But before Yang Shuyi could come out, An Xiao came face-to-face.
Su He was somewhat surprised, she thought they had already left, but they were still there.
An Xiao also saw her.
“Heh, wherever I go, I run into you; our An Family encountering you and your daughter, truly is cursed for generations!”
An Xiao stopped in front of Su He, swinging her large wavy curls, her face full of spitefulness and sharpness.
“Luckily, my elder brother cut his losses in time and kicked you, the bad omen, out of the An Family!”
Su He frowned, visibly disdainful as she glanced at her: “Ms.
An, your cheap perfume is suffocating me!”
An Xiao bit her teeth and said: “Su He, don’t think just because you married into the Jiang Family, you’ve got everything.
Be careful that one day you’ll be abandoned and become a divorced wife, you’ll cry then!”
Su He replied indifferently: “I guess by the day you ascend to heaven, you won’t be able to see that scene.
I’m truly sorry for not fulfilling your wish.”
An Xiao’s anger flared up immediately at Su He’s dismissive response.
She sneered coldly and said sharply: “Watch not to get too smug!
Do you think just because you have a seductive face, you can tie down a man’s heart?
With your poor family background, do you think the people of the Jiang Family are fools?
Once Jiang Yan is tired of you, you will naturally lose your value of use, and then you’ll end up a despicable woman abandoned by everyone!
Su He, you were born to be abandoned.
The An Family doesn’t want you, and neither do the Jiang Family people.
What are you still living in this world for?
Just go and join your short-lived mom; it would spare everyone your presence!”
Su He’s brow furrowed, just as she was about to make a move, someone was faster.
“Slap!”
A crisp slap echoed through the corridor.
An Xiao was fiercely slapped, her head twisted to one side.
She did not even see clearly who had hit her.
Holding her burning cheek, she turned angrily to see her assailant.
When she saw the person was Yang Shuyi, she was completely stunned.
Yang Shuyi had already shielded Su He behind her.
She had just washed her hands, ready to come out, only to hear the unbearable words An Xiao said to Su He, which made her heartache.
“An Xiao, heaven gave you a chance to be a human, you better cherish it!
Watch out for the disaster that spits from your mouth, accumulate some good words for yourself and your children, otherwise, you will be the one who suffers retribution!”
“Also, our Susu is the pearl of our family, not someone you can humiliate like this.
If you don’t want to be human anymore, I don’t mind sending you for reincarnation, even becoming an animal is okay!
Oh, wait, that would be an insult to animals!
At least, sometimes, animals are more humane than people!”
Yang Shuyi always had a gentle and virtuous image, and Su He rarely saw her blow up and scold someone like this, not to mention seeing her hit someone.
Su He was somewhat stunned.
She looked at Yang Shuyi, who was smaller than her, yet shielded her behind her, and felt a warm surge in her heart.
Yang Shuyi rarely lashed out at people, and rarely got angry to the point of wishing to tear someone apart.
She spoke forcefully again: “An Xiao, listen well, don’t let me hear you speaking rudely about our Susu, or Wanqiu again, otherwise, it won’t just be this slap next time!”
After saying that, she pulled Su He’s hand and left.
Su He, seeing Yang Shuyi so angry her cheeks puffed up, leaned close to her ear and whispered jokingly: “Young Aunt, you were so cool and handsome just now, you dazzled me.”
Yang Shuyi, hearing her words, was somewhat caught between laughter and tears.
She stopped, reached out, and gently poked her forehead: “You girl, she said such things to you, why did you endure it?”
Su He shrugged: “I didn’t plan to endure it, it’s just that you beat me to it, Young Aunt.”
Yang Shuyi: “…”
An Xiao watched the two depart, standing frozen in place.
Why would Yang Shuyi protect Su He?
This question lingered in her mind.
Back in the private room.
Su Tianyi saw his usually calm and mild wife, enter with a face full of rage.
He immediately stood up as if on high alert, with a look of concern, asked: “Wife, what’s wrong?
Are you uncomfortable somewhere?
A headache?
Or is your stomach upset?
I’ll take you right away… um…”
Yang Shuyi, already angry because of An Xiao’s words, and hearing him babble non-stop, got even more irritated.
She directly placed her hand over Su Tianyi’s mouth, glaring at him: “You’re so noisy!”
Su Tianyi: “…”
Su Zhimian and others: “…”
Seeing him quiet, Yang Shuyi then removed her hand.
She complained a bit: “If I was not sick, I might get sick from your noise.”
Su Tianyi said he was innocent…
“So what happened to you?
Why did you come back from just a trip to the restroom looking like this?”
“I ran into a mad dog!”
Those usually gentle words were now replaced with a coarse phrase.
Su Tianyi: “…”
