Yesterday, Shen Xi's cold was completely cured, so last night, the couple went to the Shen family villa and returned the bracelet to Mother Shen. After finding out that Su Hang was actually the little boy who saved her daughter, Mother Shen's gaze beca much more loving towards him.
At dinner, Mother Shen placed so vegetables in Su Hang's bowl and complained about why he had kept it a secret all these years. Compared to her, Father Shen was much more crude and straightforward. He directly asked: "So that girl you've been in love with for so many years is my Xiao Xi?"
Su Hang glanced at Shen Xi, then gently nodded with red ears.
At the sight of Su Hang's shyness, Mother Shen covered her mouth with glee.
"Hmph, all of this is too much of a coincidence." Father Shen snorted. "Say, how long have you been eyeing her?"
Honestly, Su Hang didn't know when he fell in love with Shen Xi. He only watched her out of curiosity at the beginning. Sohow, the reasons for watching over Shen Xi had morphed and changed into love. He himself didn't understand how it happened.
"Step aside!" The sudden noise outside the door interrupted Su Hang's musings. He looked towards the door of his office with so displeasure.
"I told you to get out of the way! Didn't you hear ?" Su MingLi's voice sounded from outside. "Such a small, insignificant secretary dares to stop ?!"
"The President is on his lunch break and isn't seeing any guests at this ti." Fang Yu's reply sounded thodical.
"Fang Yu, I want to see Su Hang." Liu Fang's voice could also be heard.
"Mom, why are you so polite to him?" Su MingLi said. "Let's just barge in, ah."
"No way."
The sounds of pushing and scuffling suddenly sounded, along with Fang Yu's calm voice. Eventually, Su Hang's office door opened with a bang. Su Hang coldly looked at Su MingLi, who had appeared before him. Su Hang turned to Fang Yu and said: "Guard the door."
"Yes." Fang Yu didn't care about his ssy clothes and closed the office door from the outside.
"Su Hang!" When Su MingLi saw Su Hang, her eyes turned red. She looked like she was about to rush towards him, Liu Fang stopped her.
"Mom, why are you stopping ?!" Su MingLi struggled against Liu Fang's hold.
"Don't move, I'll ask him." Liu Fang comforted Su MingLi, then turned to Su Hang, who was too lazy to stand up from behind his desk. Liu Fang repressed her anger and asked: "Did you do sothing to Chen Yu?"
Su Hang had been indifferently watching the drama that had been unfolding before him. When Liu Fang asked him about Chen Yu, he raised a brow and asked: "What do you an?"
"You still dare to pretend?" Su MingLi asked. "Didn't you take the Shen family's bracelet from him and force him to break up with ?"
"Hah." With a sneer on his face, Su Hang sarcastically said: "How bad is your eyesight, Miss Su? Don't tell you've actually fallen for a man with a company that only employs a few dozen people?"
"You...." Su MingLi's face twisted in a fury. Of course, she didn't like Chen Yu! It was only because he had been Shen Xi's savior that she reluctantly agreed to associate with that poor man. But how could she accept being suddenly dumped? At the thought of this, Su MingLi wanted to puke.
Liu Fang glared at Su MingLi to stop her from speaking any more. Liu Fang stepped forward and asked: "Did you take that bracelet from Chen Yu?"
"So what if I did/" Su Hang smirked.
"Do you really have to be so ruthless?" Liu Fang asked with an ugly expression on her face.
"You think too highly of yourself." So people always do, despite having no reason for it.
"Su Hang, don't act rashly." Liu Fang directly put down all her cards and said: "The Su company is already yours. We don't want to argue about it. Your father and I already set up a new company that has nothing to do with you. But the thing is, we need the Shen family's help to get the land in this developnt zone. Since you don't want us to use your relationship with them, then fine. But Chen Yu had nothing to do with you. Why did you still get in our way?"
"With the way you've burst in here, I'm guessing you've already gone to see Chen Yu?" Su Hang asked: "Did you even ask why he can't go flatter the Shen family for you?"
"Isn't it because of you?" Su MingLi had gone to see Chen Yu this morning because she wanted to talk to him about eting the Shen family but was unexpectedly refused. She never expected Chen Yu to say that the bracelet had been returned by Su Hang and that he didn't want to have any more contact with her. Where else could she unload all this anger? She imdiately rushed to the Su company.
"Truly lantable." Su Hang looked at the two with pity.
"You son of a bitch, what did you just say?" Su MingLi screeched and cursed Su Hang.
'Bang!'
Su Hang had thrown a penholder so hard that it broke into pieces.
The daughter-mother pair were so startled that Su MingLi's tirade abruptly stopped.
"Don't you think you're acting a little too comfortable?" Su Hang asked in a dangerous tone. "Do you want to announce it now? That I have no relationship with your Su family. That Su BaiNan and his little start-up real-estate business is separate from the Su company. Let all the people he borrowed from using my company's na, know that I have nothing to do with him. How long do you think it'll take for him to go bankrupt?"
"You..." Liu Fang's expression changed dramatically.
"Are you going to ask if I dare?" Su Hang sneered. "Do you honestly believe that I'm afraid of the Su company stocks tanking because of so family drama? Have you forgotten?"
"The Shen family is now my family by law. If the Su company's capital gets depleted, I can just take money from the Shen family." Su Hang told her.
"The Shen company has just barely crawled out of bankruptcy. How can they have the money to help you?" Liu Fang questioned.
"Manager Liu, aren't you scared?" Su Hang asked. "You had plans to integrate yourself with the Shen family not too long ago. Wasn't it because of their contacts and not their money? Do you think I'm dumb enough not to have the sa idea? Even if the Su company takes one thousand steps back and really goes bankrupt, it doesn't matter, ah. Isn't the Shen company mine too?"
"So you really did marry Shen Xi to get the Shen company! I'm going to tell Shen Xi." Su MingLi shouted.
"Just try it!" Su Hang, who had been indifferent this whole ti, suddenly beca violent. His eyes turned red, and he looked like he couldn't wait to tear into Su MingLi.
"You...what are you planning?" Su MingLi beca so scared she took a step back.
"Su Hang, don't forget. If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be where you are today." Liu Fang blocked Su MingLi from Su Hang and said: "If it wasn't for us, you would still be picking up garbage."
"Honestly, the worst thing you could've done was look for ." Su Hang stared at Liu Fang and slowly enunciated: "If you hadn't looked for 12 years ago, the Su family fortune would've gone to you and your daughter after Su BaiNan died. I would've never had the chance to claim my inheritance."
"He's your father, how can you say that." Liu Fang looked at Su Hang in disbelief.
"Father?" Su Hang laughed. "What father discards their child then cos back for him 18 years later just because he wanted to draw blood from him?"
"You..."
"I've run out of patience." Su Hang coldly interrupted her. "Manager Liu, go back and pass on any work you currently have. I'll find soone to take over your position. Don't let see you anywhere near the Su company in the future. You should know the consequences of this yourself."
Liu Fang pulled back Su MingLi, who seed like she wanted to say sothing, then ran away. This was because she finally realized that the only card she had in her hand was completely useless. Truthfully, from the very start, when everyone thought that Su Hang had married Shen Xi to get the Shen family, Liu Fang had known that the cold-hearted Su Hang actually loved Shen Xi.
Liu Fang had been banking on Su Hang's almost paranoid anxiety towards Shen Xi. Liu Fang thought that even if the Su company's capital tanked, Su Hang wouldn't open his mouth and ask the Shen family for help because he would be afraid of Shen Xi misunderstanding him.
Liu Fang knew that this situation wouldn't last long, but she had thought that it would at least last one year. But who knew that Su Hang would suddenly beco less paranoid in such a short ti?
'Bang! Crash!'
After the mother-daughter pair left, the sounds of things breaking resounded from the office. Fang Yu's eyebrows jumped, but he didn't dare go in. Instead, after thinking for a bit, he went to call for help.

anwhile, Shen Xi was currently eating out with Yun Shu.
Looking at the suit Shen Xi was wearing and the docunt in her hands, Yun Shu couldn't help but tease: "I'm not used to seeing you like this."
"I'm not used to it myself." Shen Xi found out that she had no talent in business whatsoever when she was 15. So she never imagined that she would one day visit a bank with a suit on and talk about loans.
"Did your eting go well?" Yun Shu asked.
"Not bad." Shen Xi told her. "There's no problem with the proposal. The bank just needs to do a final evaluation."
"You wrote a proposal?" Yun Shu was surprised.
"No." Shen Xi shook her head and honestly said.
"So, your husband, Mr. Su wrote it for you?" Yun Shu guessed.
"Su Hang's busy enough with his own work. How can I let him help write a proposal, ah." At the thought of Su Hang, Shen Xi couldn't help but laugh. "But he did say he would find an outstanding general manager."
"Aiya...everyti you ntion your husband, you smile so widely. It looks like you've completely fallen into his hands."
"What, did you want to cry instead?" Shen Xi angrily retorted.
"Look at you, ah." Yun Shu laughed. Then, after a mont's thought, she thoughtfully asked: "I recently heard news that the Su company was late in paying one of their suppliers? There are also a few rumors outside that the Su company may have so monetary problems?"
Shen Xi's brow furrowed, and her spoon paused.
"Do you know about this?" Yun Shu asked. But then, after seeing Shen Xi's expression, Yun Shu knew that Shen Xi was aware of the matter.
"Yes." Shen Xi nodded. "My dad actually told about it. He even proposed to help pay back part of the funds first, but Su Hang refused his help."
"Why not?" Yun Shu didn't understand.
"Apparently, it was because of ." Shen Xi replied, sounding a little helpless.
"You?" Yun Shu thought about all the rumors floating around and asked: "Is he afraid that others would misunderstand you?"
"That guy is just too boring and stubborn, ah." Shen Xi complained, only being half-truthful.
"I think his stubbornness is cute." Yun Shu smiled. "But if he obstinately persists on being stubborn, what'll happen if the Su company really does go bankrupt?"
"I..." Shen Xi was about to answer, but then her phone suddenly rang.
Shen Xi picked up her phone, then grinned when she saw the caller ID. "Secretary Fang."
"Madam, can you co to the company right now?" Fang Yu's voice was a little anxious.
"I'm currently a bit far from the company right now." Shen Xi asked: "Is sothing wrong?"
"Just now, Manager Liu brought Su MingLi to the President's office. After they left, the President locked himself in his office and is currently smashing things." Fang Yu explained.
"I understand, I'm going right now." After Shen Xi hung up the phone, she no longer cared about eating. She hurriedly said her goodbyes, then ran out of the restaurant.
