Chapter 25: Heart As Cold As Ice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Jiankai did not expect a little girl like Su Wan, who had gone to Dong Chen Country for three years, to be so alert on financial matters.
He was thinking of his rebuttal but saw Su Wan frown and she beat him to it.
Even if it was like what you said, Sheng Ran was in debt, but the market value of Sheng Ran at that time was far greater than that of Heng Yuan. How could Heng Yuan have saved Sheng Ran, which had a capital ten times more than itself?
Heng Yuan was only a small company two to three years ago and its achievement was incomparable to Sheng Ran
Su Wans words were overbearing, but they werent utterly unjustifiable. Su Heng couldnt help but marvel at her improvement.
Su Heng hesitated, wondering if he should allow Su Wan to continue her argument. Beyond his expectations, Su Wan threw out a shocking guess.
Uncle, was Heng Yuan the one getting into a financial deficit and you?
Just then, the sound of broken ceramic pieces added flames to the originally dreary atmosphere.
Su Jiankai was thinking of grabbing the coffee from the table but his fingers trembled upon hearing Su Wans words and he broke the white delicate ceramic mug.
This young girl was close to figuring out the truth.
However, how could Su Jiankai admit to this? How could he?
Now that Sheng Yuan Group was prospering with each passing day with huge benefits in front of him, he would definitely not hand it over to Su Wan!
Su Jiankai speedily put on an air of an elder. With his serious and upright look, he assured, Wan, its not what you think it is. Even if you do not believe me, would you not believe your most beloved grandfather?
Su Wan pursed her lips. Since the day before yesterday, her grandfather didnt feel the same as before
At least, the grandfather she had known previously would not side with people who distorted the truth or watch her being bullied, and would definitely not reprimand her for creating trouble
Su Heng held his chest and let out a few coughs. Then, he started chiming in, Wan, dont stir up more trouble. Matters concerning the adults are matters you dont understand.
Facing the two most authoritative decision makers of Sheng Yuan, Su Wan knew that in their eyes, she was at a low position and her words carried little weight.
She decided to uncover the truth.
Grandfather, Im no longer a kid, Im an adult now. Please dont forget that I own 50% of Sheng Rans shares. Now that the company is Sheng Yuan, I would at least still have 25%, wouldnt I?
When key interests were involved, Su Hengs face froze while the fire in Su Jiankais eyes flared up as he wished to chase Su Wan out in that instant.
Twenty-five percent of Sheng Yuans share was a huge amount and he was well aware of that. How could he give them to Su Wan just like that?
In that moment, Su Jiankai had totally forgotten that if not for the amalgamation with Sheng Ran, Heng Yuan would have gone into bankruptcy and that the value of 50% of Sheng Rans shares far surpassed 25% of Sheng Yuans shares.
Su Jiankais face darkened instantly. He shouted fiercely, Dont you ever think about it! Youre a girl, why do you want so much shares?
Su Wan didnt expect Su Jiankai to ignore surface formality. She looked at her grandfather, seeking for help but her grandfather remained quiet. That moment, her heart was filled with coldness.
These were her relatives! The so-called brotherhood could simply be ignored in the face of interest. If her parents were to know about this, how sad would they be?
Su Wan closed her eyes, feeling a coldness in her heart. When she reopened them, they were filled with alienation, Uncle, Su Yurou is a girl too. Dont you plan to give her your property in future?
Yurou is different!
Su Jiankai shot a glance at Su Wan and added very quickly, Yurou has parents and a fianc. We will help her manage the company but you are an orphaned girl. You wont be able to manage with such shares!
These words had undoubtedly frozen Su Wans heart completely
She had once thought that her relatives were her strongest support but now, they were stabbing her in her heart, knife after knife. Su Wan could imagine the bleeding wounds.
The most fatal of all was the sight of Su Heng nodding, obviously agreeing with her elder uncles words.
Su Wan was speechless but she smiled bitterly. Was this why her grandfather had given up on her and had chosen her elder uncles family instead? Because she was an orphaned girl?
Seeing Su Wan and Su Jiankai almost getting into a quarrel, Su Heng quickly explained.
Wan, your uncle is doing this for your sake. The business world is like a battlefield. People completely destroy one another. You are still young and do not know how deep the water is.
Su Wan try to refrain herself from laughing but hearing this shameless theory, she couldnt help but hold her stomach and laugh.
Grandfather, I know that the business world is dangerous, but I didnt expect my family to stab me in the back.
Pride was still important to Su Jiankai. He was furious and with fierce look, pointed at Su Wan. Su Wan! How could you say such words?
Su Heng was speechless for a moment but persisted to convince Su Wan, Wan, you have misunderstood us. Please give up on the company shares. Jing Yuan belongs to you and I can increase your credit card limit to five million dollars. Its sufficient to last you your entire lifetime.
The more Su Heng talked, the heavier Su Wans heart felt. Today, she finally realized her position in this family. Her grandfather who cared for her the most had abandoned her.
Grandfather, you dont have to be uncles persuasive talker. Jing Yuan was bought by my parents, so its mine. As for the five million dollars, I dont wish to have it.
Su Wans voice was not loud but was as cold as the ice beads that fell to the ground.
However, Grandfather, Uncle, please listen carefully.
Su Wan spat every word slowly and firmly with a frightening strength, Ill get back the shares that my parents left me and I will not compromise.
Su Jiankai laughed. You want to get your shares back? Huh, dont say weve not agreed. According to the agreement, you can only take it back when you are married. However, Gu Zihang is already engaged to Yurou!
Su Wan couldnt help but laugh loudly. Her voice was firm and decisive. Who says that I have to marry Gu Zihang?
Su Hang was shocked. He disagreed with Su Wan. Wan! Dont act impulsively. Dont make fun of your marriage
When she saw Su Hengs worried face, Su Wan muttered wearily, Grandfather, I wouldnt have come to this point had you all not forced me to.
If Su Heng was really worried about her, how could he bear to see her take this path?
This current situation had been materialized by her grandfather, elder uncle, Gu Zihang, and Su Yurou
What had she done wrong?
Was her engagement with Gu Zihang or the loss of her parents that had become the reason for their attacks towards her?
Well, go and find yourself a person to marry. Lets see who you can find. Even if you can find someone, Im sure hell hold you back. Su Jiankai was pleased, Not everyone is as outstanding as Zihang!
He was very satisfied with this future son-in-law of his
Just wait and see!
Su Wan didnt want to see her uncles disgusting face and was afraid that she would be sad if she were to see her grandfathers indifference. So, after speaking, she left!
