Su Heng hated Su Yan’s attitude. Every time Su Yan spoke to him like this, she would threaten him.

As expected. Su Yan’s next sentence was, “Did Father really forget about President Shi? That day at the Huo Family’s banquet, President Shi didn’t keep a low profile.”

None of the three members of the Su family were good people. All three of them were selfish. Su Qian would always pretend to be innocent so that no one would implicate her. Father Su, on the other hand, was cold and heartless. He only had himself in his heart and he didn’t care about anyone else. As for Mother Su, she was stupid. She was so stupid that she could only see the benefits in front of her.

That was why they chose to cooperate with the Yun family. They were not worried about what they would do if the Yun family decided to kill them after they had outlived their usefulness.

Looking at Su Yan’s half-smiling face, Su Heng could only swallow his dissatisfaction.

No, no, it was not the right time yet. That person said that if Su Yan signed that contract, they would inject 100 million yuan into the Su family. I can’t be impulsive.

Su Heng’s smile became more sincere. “Yes, yes, yes. I just wanted to get to know President Shi and see if there are any opportunities for us to work together in the future.” There was a hint of rebuke in his gaze as he looked at Su Yan. He seemed to be saying ‘why aren’t you cooperating with me?’.

However, at his age, his cheekbones were high and his eyes were hanging from his eyes. Doing this would only make one feel nauseous.

Su Yan suppressed the urge to vomit and said, “Ah Qing is not fully recovered yet, let’s talk about it later.”

This was a polite rejection.

Su Heng was a tactful person and wanted to leave immediately. However, Mother Su was too inexperienced and had been holding her anger in. Now that Su Yan didn’t give him face, she rushed over angrily and pointed at Su Yan. “Do you have any manners? Who taught you to speak to your father like this?”

“Manners?” Su Yan tilted her head slightly, looking very puzzled. “Don’t you know if I have manners, Madam Yu Xiao?”

Mother Su actually felt a little flustered when her name was suddenly called.

“Yu Xiao, do you dare to say that you don’t know what my life was like when I was young?” Seeing that Mother Su still did not respond, Su Yan continued, “From the time I can remember, I rarely get to eat at home. No matter when I wake up, there will never be food for me at home. I can only go out and beg for food from the neighbors. When I’m slightly older, I have to earn my own tuition fees. Do you still think you guys are worthy of being my adoptive parents?” Su Yan’s voice was very calm, but it was this calmness that made the people around her even more shocked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mother Su took a step back and forced herself not to be frightened by Su Yan’s imposing manner. She retreated into Su Heng’s arms, Mother Su pinched her sleeves and cried. “What sin did I commit? Why did I adopt such an enemy? You can’t accuse me for neglecting you all these years just because I found my biological daughter.”

At this moment, Su Qian also rushed over. Wiping away her tears, she threw herself at Mother Su. “It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have come back, I’ll leave now. Mother, don’t fight with Big sister because of me.”

When the surrounding people saw Su Qian and Mother Su’s performance, they subconsciously sided with Su Qian and Mother Su. Coupled with the fact that Su Heng was holding Mother Su’s hand with a face full of forbearance, it looks like the head of the family was afraid that his wife and daughter’s words would affect his adopted daughter’s future.

At this moment, Lu Qin also walked to Father Huo’s side. She tugged at the corner of his shirt and said in a low voice, “Did you see that? This pair of mother and daughter are really good at acting. Tell Nan Nan not to be deceived.”

Father Huo’s expression wasn’t calm either. He had always treated Huo Nan as his successor and didn’t want to see Huo Nan being obstructed by a woman. “I have to break Huo Nan and this girl.”

On the other hand, Su Qian was still crying. She had no idea that her future in-laws had become even more dissatisfied with her. Right now, Su Yan was the only person in her eyes. She had to ruin Su Yan’s reputation today. That way, everyone’s attention would be on her and no one would ever think of Su Yan again.

However, even at this moment, Su Yan was still smiling. The dimples on her cheeks seemed to be mocking Su Qian for overestimating herself and her arrogance.

“Are you pretending to be pitiful? It’s indeed your usual trick, but I reminded you before to not provoke me. Why didn’t you listen?” Even though the words were threatening, Su Yan did not lose her poise. She was poised and looked more trustworthy.

Su Yan called a waiter over and handed over a USB flash drive. Su Yan met Su Qian’s gaze and chuckled. “This is your last chance. Do you want to seize it?”

Su Qian gritted her teeth. She was afraid that Su Yan knew something, but she was also worried that Su Yan was just bluffing.

“Qianqian, what’s going on? Are you hiding something from me?” Mother Su felt Su Qian’s trembling as she asked her.
