Chapter 699: 0689 Things I don’t know

Before Su Xinyan’s words had settled, accompanied by a sharp “slap,” there was a piercing scream.

As everyone regained their senses, they noticed that Su Xinyan’s face had already been firmly slapped, and their eyes immediately widened in shock.

Mo Shangjie took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the hand that had struck Su Xinyan, sporting a devil-may-care look.

“Give you an inch and you take a mile, huh? Do you have makeup caked in your brain? Not help my sister-in-law, but rather help a woman full of spiteful b****iness? Flaunting yourself in front of this young master, go back to your fox den and cultivate for a thousand years!”

Su Xinyan’s face alternated between green and white, and the atmosphere instantly turned somewhat eerie.

The crowd, feeling awkward and wearing expressions of being cuckolded, cast their gaze towards Gu Heng, angering Deng Jingru till her face turned green!

Su Ran paid no attention and turned to look at Su Zhongyuan who stood to one side.

She stepped forward and spoke slowly:

“Grandfather, come with me!”

Su Zhongyuan’s eyes shifted towards her, his lips quivering, a sourness rising in his throat.

“Xiao Ran, it’s the Su Family that has wronged you!”

Su Ran shook her head, “What happened to the Su Family has nothing to do with you, come with me!”

Su Zhongyuan shook his head, his face showing the struggle and helplessness within.

“Right now, I only want to watch over the Su Family. Xiao Ran, don’t let hatred cloud your nature; for my sake, let them go!”

Su Ran’s heart quivered as if something had broken inside her.

She looked at Su Zhongyuan, her eyes gradually growing colder, and she chuckled softly in her heart.

Indeed, she shouldn’t have had any expectations!

Once more glancing at Su Zhongyuan, she finally turned around and said indifferently:

“Take care of yourself.”

After speaking, without giving anyone else another look, she walked towards the main door.

Seeing this, Mo Shangjie and others followed suit, but as they passed by Gu Heng, they paused.

“Brother, sorry about that, I had to discipline your woman. It’s not about disrespecting you, but when I see such a spiteful b****, my hand itches!”

With that, he patted his shoulder with a look of regret, and then turned around.

Outside the door, sounds of revving engines filled the air. After the commotion, there was silence.

Watching Su Ran leave, the others looked at each other in dismay and also began to leave one after another.

Su Xinyan stood still, holding her face, and met Gu Heng’s calm and untroubled gaze, feeling an unprecedented panic.

“Brother Heng…”

But Gu Heng did not look at her again, turning away to leave the Su Family residence.

The events that had transpired at the Su Family had already been spread online by reporters and netizens in real-time.

Discussions flooded the internet:

“That slap felt so satisfying to watch!”

“President Su is right, since when does the legitimate daughter have to clean up after her father’s mistress? Isn’t someone claiming to be Mrs. Gu? Then why doesn’t she take her mistress mom and leave, instead of hogging President Su’s turf?”

“What haven’t they hogged? Isn’t everything they have snatched from President Su? But let’s get back to the point, Mrs. Gu? What’s that compared to our President Su’s ten billion dowry?”

“Exactly, who else in the world could get such treatment? You won’t find a second person like that.”

“Right, even the Royal princesses can’t compare. But who the heck is President Su’s fiance?”

“Yeah, we haven’t even had a hint of who it is, so curious!”

“As curious as we are, we can only wait for President Su to announce it. But whoever can offer a ten billion dowry must be a very important figure!”

“Agreed, otherwise how could he be worthy of our President Su?”

…

Meanwhile, Deng Jingru returned to the Gu Family residence with a face pale green with fury.

On the TV in the living room, the news was all about what had happened today at the Su Family.

What people were talking about wasn’t just Su Ran’s ten billion dowry – there was also the fact that Wen Peipei and Tan Lirong were chased out of the Su Family home.

As a grandmother and an elder, Su Ran might not be so decisive against Wen Peipei, but toward Tan Lirong, she had absolutely no responsibility.

Thinking about the ambiguous and awkward glances from everyone when she left, Deng Jingru was about to explode with anger!

That damned Su Xinyan, whose reputation was so bad that she was shunned by the whole circle.

She still shamelessly clung to her position as the Gu Family’s young mistress.

They tried everything, but that wretched girl just wouldn’t agree to a divorce, and now she even had two kids in tow.

Just thinking about Su Ran’s ten-billion dowry made her entire being writhe with regret.

Hearing footsteps at the entrance, Deng Jingru turned her head and saw Su Xinyan walk in with an icy demeanor.

Having torn each other apart, now there was nothing but animosity left.

“Who let you come back? Get out, looking at your face makes me sick,”

Just thinking about this woman occupying the place of her son and her daughter-in-law, she was filled with teeth-gritting hate!

As if not hearing Deng Jingru’s remark, Su Xinyan said with a dark face:

“Where is Gu Heng?”

“Why are you looking for him? Just take care of yourself, I’m telling you Su Xinyan, if you want to secure your position as the Gu Family young mistress, you better behave and keep out of Gu Heng’s affairs! And your grandmother and your mother, don’t even think about bringing them to Gu Family to leech off Gu Heng’s blood. A whole family of vampires, I don’t know what sins the Gu Family committed to be burdened with a loss like you!”

Su Xinyan’s face turned an ashen blue as she darkly glared at Deng Jingru.

“He has obligations and responsibilities!”

“Obligations? Responsibilities?” Deng Jingru scoffed coldly, “Don’t push everything onto Gu Heng. What the hell obligations and responsibilities does he have? I warn you, if you dare bring them to the Gu Family, then you can all get lost together!”

Su Xinyan said nothing, glanced at Deng Jingru, and slammed the door as she left.

She agitatedly ran a hand through her hair, her eyes bloodshot.

The expressions on her face were like those of a cornered beast, feeling both the madness and collapse of being driven to the edge.

Damn it.

How come that bitch Su Ran just couldn’t be beaten down?

She had to think of a plan, she had to come up with a good one!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered what Wen Peipei had said!

Yes, Grandmother!

She must know something, she surely knows something that could utterly crush Su Ran.

Why is Yaosang Qianyue a taboo for the Su Family? There must be something behind this that she doesn’t know.

Su Xinyan’s heart surged with excitement, and she hastily left the Gu residence.

–

Elsewhere, Qin Feng was driving Su Ran home.

Su Ran sat in the back seat, her expression solemn.

At this moment, she too was contemplating the words of Wen Peipei.

She couldn’t possibly act as if she hadn’t heard those words!

Long, long ago, she had always found the relationship between her mother and the Su Family to be somewhat strange.

Today, she finally got a confirmation from Wen Peipei’s words!

Her mother had harmed Su Hongde?

What had happened between them?

And Grandfather…

He had previously allowed Wen Peipei to throw her out of the Su Family and indulged Wen Peipei’s endless bias toward Su Xinyan, even the final schemes against her!

As for Su Xinyan’s framing, defamation, and slander, he turned a blind eye!

Latter, he let her destroy Enrich, the Su Family, and Su Xinyan!

If not for his attitude giving her an answer, Su Ran was very clear in her heart that she wouldn’t be so ruthless toward the Su Family!

Even if just for his sake!
