Marry Me Quick

Chapter 297

Su Youcheng also recalled the past events at Su Ziyue’s mention of them. He had to admit that his treatment of Su Ziyue in the past was a little unjustifiable. However, he treated her like that at the time because he had no other choice, so he did not think that he was wrong at all. Suppressing his anger, Su Youcheng said, “In any case, you’re a member of the Su Family!”

“I’m still a member of the Su Family, of course. Even though my Dad moved out of the Su Residence a long time ago, he is still named Su Yizi.” The meaning behind what Su Ziyue said was obvious—she was a member of the Su Family, but she only acknowledged Su Yizi as her father. Not only did she refuse to acknowledge Su Youcheng as her grandfather, but she also refused to acknowledge other members of the Su Family.

Su Youcheng was speechless with rage, for he did not expect her to be so outrageous and ungrateful.

Su Yuanming immediately took up Su Youcheng’s cause, saying, “Ziyue, Dad is old, so don’t make him angry.”

“I didn’t intend to make anyone angry. Since you have come for me, we’d better make certain things clear, of course,” replied Su Ziyue. She thought to herself, So am I to blame for them asking to be pissed off?

The dishes happened to be served one after another at this very moment, so Su Ziyue ignored them and began eating right away. Su Youcheng had always called the shots in the Su Family. Therefore, when Su Ziyue paid no attention to him, he was of course so furious that he did not even touch his chopsticks. Even so, he still remembered the purpose of him coming to see Su Ziyue. “Ziyue, LK Group has canceled its partnership with Su Group because of you. As a result, Su Group has suffered a huge loss, and it’s now time for you to make up for it.”

Su Youcheng was so angry that his head hurt when he recalled how he had missed such a golden opportunity to collaborate with LK Group, of which Qin Muchen was the President. Even though Feng Group was a bit less successful than LK Group, it was, at the very least, a business group that was famous both domestically and abroad. Therefore, it would be nice to be able to collaborate with Feng Group.

Su Ziyue sneered inwardly as she thought to herself, So is he finally willing to disclose the real purpose of him coming today? One has to talk in a roundabout way and be patient while dealing with a sly old fox like Su Youcheng indeed.

“What does it have to do with me? Why does it matter when I know LK Group’s President in person? Why don’t you say that it was because of you?” The smile on Su Ziyue’s face deepened. “Grandpa, you must be quite anxious over the last two years. Were you worried that Qin Muchen would find a way to get back at Su Group?”

Su Youcheng looked stunned, for Su Ziyue had said exactly what he worried about. “You…”

“Be rest assured. If Qin Muchen really wants to get back at Su Group, it’ll be useless no matter how hard you try to watch out for him. No matter who you collaborate with, he is still able to turn Su Group into another Mu Group…”

She did not finish her sentence, but Su Youcheng could figure out what she did not say out loud. He came for Su Ziyue with the initial intention to satisfy everyone by having her obediently promise to persuade Feng Group’s President into collaborating with Su Group. But now, it was obvious that Su Ziyue wouldn’t agree with him, so he stopped restraining himself. He jumped to his feet while glaring at Su Ziyue with a piercing gaze, saying, “In any case, you’re a member of the Su Family. That is a fact that couldn’t be changed no matter what! Let’s go, Yuanming!” With that, he left with Su Yuanming in a great rage.

Watching them leaving the room, Su Ziyue leisurely finished eating her lunch before going back to her office.

…

As Su Ziyue had expected, everyone’s eyes were drawn to her when she returned to her office. That was because a lot of people had come looking for her ever since she joined the company. Furthermore, these people were by no means ordinary—Lu Shichu, Gu Hanyan, and the Su Family members… Gu Hanyan was an international movie star, whereas the others had quite some standing in Yunzhou City. However, Su Ziyue did not care about these things at all.

After she returned to her office, she looked into how Su Group was doing over the last two years. Over the last two years, she never paid close attention to anyone or anything related to Yunzhou City. Now that they had come for her one by one, she couldn’t just sit around and do nothing as she awaited her demise, of course. After reading numerous news reports and analyses on financial publications, she found out that Su Group’s prospects were indeed unpromising.

Even though Su Group wasn’t close to bankruptcy as the Mu Group was, it was surpassed by Gong Group by a huge margin. Therefore, it was understandable that Su Youcheng was anxious as well. Su Group’s performance had also slipped year by year. Not only did the performance show no signs of improving, but it also gradually grew worse, little by little. It was as if the company’s performance was chipped away in a fashion similar to ants moving nests! In her professional view, such a situation was quite unusual. Su Youcheng must have realized it as well, which was why he was desperate to collaborate with a stable and large company.

After studying Su Group’s performance for a while, Su Ziyue wasn’t able to notice other information, so she called Feng Xingyan. The instant the call was put through, she went straight to the point by saying, “Uncle Xingyan, I just looked into how Su Group was doing over the last two years, and I noticed a problem…” Su Ziyue waited for Feng Xingyan’s answer after telling him everything she wanted to say.

Feng Xingyan asked her, “Has Su Youcheng offended anyone?”

Su Ziyue thought of Qin Muchen, but she thought that the latter did not seem to be such a procrastinator. If he were to take action against Su Group, he would bring it down in one move. Even though she thought Qin Muchen couldn’t possibly be the mastermind behind this, she said, “He and Qin Muchen used to bear grudges against each other.”

“Think about it yourself, for I have got things to do. By the way, I’ll come to Yunzhou City for a trip next month.”
