Su Wan nodded bitterly. “I’ve thought of this too. If that’s really the case, then Uncle’s family is frightening. However, the agreement states that I must get married without specifying to whom.”

The Su family and the Gu family have good relationship. She had liked Gu Zihang since high school. Until now, she had not thought of marrying any man other than Gu Zihang.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Sheng Ran was her parents’ lifelong painstaking effort and she must get her shares back, but marriage was not a simple task.

Su Wan stroked her head. The thought of all this had given her a headache. The more she recalled some incidents of the past, the more she felt her uncle and his family didn’t want her to return. When interest was involved, kinship could weaken.

If she were to try getting her shares back, her uncle would definitely hinder her with the excuse of her still being single.

Su Wan analyzed the situation. “Two years have passed. I’m afraid the old employees from my parents’ time had either been dismissed or involved in instigating rebellion. If I were to raise my intention to intervene in Sheng Yuan’s management, where do I seek a marriage partner in such a short time?”

Lin Fei’er rolled her eyes. “With your beauty and personality, isn’t it easy to look for just any man on the street? I’m only afraid you’ll use Gu Zihang as the benchmark and will be dissatisfied with the others.”

Su Wan pursed her lips tightly and she turned pale. Seeing that, Lin Fei’er quickly added, “Wan, Gu Zihang is a beast. It’s not worth feeling upset over a scumbag who dumped you. It’s his loss for not marrying you.”

They had been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years. Su Wan was not willing to give up just like that, but if she were to fight for it, Su Wan’s arrogance would not allow her to accept a man who had betrayed her.

She and Gu Zihang could never return to the past. She’d better let go.

Su Wan closed her eyes. To prevent Lin Fei’er from worrying, she showed a faint smile. “Fei’er, I know if I marry someone great in future, I’ll have to thank him for not marrying me.”

At the same time, in S City’s most bustling financial hub stood the head office of Di Chen Group.

In the office, Jiang Xuecheng’s long finger kept sweeping across the agreement. When he was on the last page, he laid down his signature. His strokes were forceful, just like calligraphy.

Three knocks sounded on the door. Jiang Xuecheng looked up and with a serious voice, responded, “Come in.”

It was Ah Si. With a guilty conscience, he took a glance at Jiang Xuecheng and placed a stack of documents in front of Jiang Xuecheng. “Young Master, please take a look.”

When he took a look, that stack of documents contained detailed information on Su Wan. Everything was clearly stated, from the day she was born to the university she studied at abroad.

Jiang Xuecheng flashed a look at the information and shifted his vision back onto the agreement. “You’ve done a good job. However, you seem to have something to say?”

Indeed, nothing could be hidden from his young master’s eyes. Ah Si lowered his head and reported, “Aunty Fang just called. Miss Su left Fontainebleau.”

This woman!

How dare she escape after performing the forcible misconduct on him? How could it be possible to not pay a price after a misconduct?

Jiang Xuecheng scribbled randomly on the agreement worth millions of dollars unconsciously.

He frowned as his eyes swept across the black mark he made on the agreement. Then, he asked Ah Si faintly, “Did she have anything to say to me before she left?”

“Miss Su did not say anything.” Ah Si lowered his head. His face was blushing. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Jiang Xuecheng’s face darken, threatening to flare up anytime.

Ah Si quickly added, “I’ve checked Miss Su’s route. She should be staying at the house of her ex-classmate from high school. I’ve included the relevant information into this pile of documents.”

That made Jiang Xuecheng calm down. He nodded slightly and said, “Alright, you’ve done well. You may go now.”

Huh! She thought of slipping away after causing disaster? In her dreams! He had all the time to catch her and confront her, to let her know that some people could not be messed with!

Jiang Xuecheng flipped through Su Wan’s personal particulars and saw that she was the granddaughter of Su Heng, Sheng Yuan Group’s chairman. He raised his brows.

He didn’t see the temperament of a rich man’s daughter in Su Wan. To describe her as a fierce-looking drunken kitten would be more appropriate.

At this thought, Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t help but smile, but when he turned to the page with her fiancé’s picture, his face darkened. He didn’t expect Su Wan’s fiancé to be this man.

He was Gu Zihang, the only son of the founder of Zhuo Yue Group. He was also the current CEO of Zhuo Ye Group.

In the business world, Zhuo Ye Group had always been Di Chen Group’s competitor. Both the companies could still get along well but in recent years, Di Chen Group had done extremely well, far surpassing Zhuo Ye Group and was known as Jiuzhou’s king of commerce.

Tut! He seemed to have heard that Gu Zihang had become very close to Sheng Yuan Group’s Su Yurou and would be engaged soon. It was no wonder that Su Wan had that look yesterday.

Jiang Xuecheng was very confident. To him, a man who dumped a woman was not a threat. Let him take over this little drunken kitten.

Su Wan, who had just stepped into Lin Fei’er’s apartment, suddenly sneezed. Su Wan touched her nose. Who was thinking of her at the moment?

Lin Fei’er looked at Su Wan with concern. “Wan, are you sick?”

Su Wan shook her head while she smilingly glanced through Lin Fei’er’s apartment. Although the area was only ninety square meters large, it was decorated warmly, giving out a homely feeling. She nodded in admiration. “Fei’er, your house doesn’t look too bad.”

Lin Fei’er was a freelancer. She made her living through running an online store and writing novels. The capital she had used to start the online store was sponsored by Su Wan. Now, Lin Fei’er could afford a car and a house. She must have put in a lot of effort.

Lin Fei’er’s vision lingered on the cherry blossom pink wallpaper and softly murmured, “I’ll be moving soon, probably within a few months.”

“Why?” Su Wan was puzzled.

Lin Fei’er who had always been aggressive, blushed like a little woman now, “While you were abroad, I accepted Li Peng’s advances and last week, he proposed to me. I’ve accepted it.”

Li Peng was Su Wan’s high schoolmate too. He was two years her senior but was in the same year as Lin Fei’er, who had skipped a grade. Li Peng had been the class monitor since high school till his university years. He was steady and very reliable.

Li Peng had been popular with girls but he only liked Lin Fei’er. Lin Fei’er, on the other hand, was immersed in Boys Love novels at that time and had no intention of being in love.

Su Wan was taken aback. After she regained her senses, she smiled. She quickly hugged Lin Fei’er. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? It’s such happy news. Were you thinking not to tell me if I hadn’t asked?

“Of course not. I was afraid you’ll be sad when you talked about the scumbag Gu Zihang just now. That’s why I didn’t mention it.”

Lin Fei’er then leaned her head on Su Wan’s shoulders and assured her in a serious tone, “Wan, you have good looks and personality, and you’ll definitely meet someone who loves you. You’ll be happy your whole life and it’ll piss the scumbag and that white lotus off.”

COMMENT

She had liked Gu Zihang for ten years, could she even love someone else?

Su Wan was not sure, but she would let go of Gu Zihang and live for herself.
