Chapter 334: No Betrothal Gifts
Su Wan said he didn’t treat Jianyan as his son!
Su Heng’s eyes turned red. He looked at Su Wan with a ferocious look and his voice was cold and scornful.
“The incident happened more than three years ago but the cause couldn’t be found out at that time. Anyway, this has long pa.s.sed, how could you find out clearly just in a short period of time? Those evidence couldn’t prove Jiankai did it!”
Suddenly, Su Heng remembered visiting Su Jiankai in prison. His son, who was in his forties, knelt in front of him and while crying, told him that he didn’t kill Jianyan.
How much harm had been done to force the arrogant Su Jiankai to be in this state?
The more Su Heng thought about it, the angrier he became. He took in a breath vigorously and looked at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng coldly.
“Wan, I’m afraid that the reason you got near this man was not to avenge your parents’ death but to crush your uncle’s family under the guise of justice! No one is fighting with you!”
Su Wan had not expected Su Heng to still think that she was greedy for her family’s a.s.sets to the extent of framing her uncle’s family.
Su Wan’s body stiffened and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
Crush Su Jiankai and Su Yurou?
If Su Jiankai didn’t kill her parents, if Su Yurou didn’t hire someone to try to murder her, if her uncle’s family didn’t join hands with Gu Zihang to s.n.a.t.c.h Sheng Yuan, then she would never have treated them in such manner!
The way of the heavens were clear. Those who harmed others would harm themselves. If Su Jiankai and Su Yurou had resentment in them, they should blame themselves for having evil intention from the start!
Perhaps she was so angry, she laughed instead.
“Grandfather, it looks like we can’t communicate anymore. I wish to cut off my relations.h.i.+p with the Su family. Please remove my parents’ and my name from the family tree.”
Zhao Ruolan had been listening till now and was really frightened by Su Wan and Su Heng.
“Wan, don’t provoke your grandfather anymore. He talked nonsense because he’s too angry.”
Talked nonsense?
Su Wan laughed. She was afraid these were the real thoughts from the bottom of her grandfather’s heart towards her, weren’t they?
Su Wan tilted her head sideways and her eyes landed on Zhao Ruolan’s wrinkled face. Her heart felt bitter and uneasy.
“Don’t worry, Grandmother, I’ll still support you after I leave the Su family.”
Zhao Ruolan heard that Su Wan had made up her mind. She gaped and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
“Who needs you to support?”
Su Heng’s sharp eyes swept across Su Wan and his eyes were scornful as he looked down at her from above.
“If you wish to cut off your relations.h.i.+p with the Su family and be removed from the family tree, you can, but your father can’t!”
Su Wan ma.s.saged her eyebrows wearily. The fury on her face had subsided and there was only heartfelt indifference left.
She looked faintly at Su Heng and her voice was calm.
“Grandfather, I still hold half of Sheng Yuan’s shares. If you’ve figured out, please get a lawyer to sign an agreement with me. My parents and I do not wish to remain in a dirty family!
Before she came to Jing Yuan, she had the intention to send the wedding invitation but had not expected things to develop to this stage.
However, a grandfather who had been s.h.i.+elding a murderer had stabbed her heart with a knife again and again.
What was the use of remaining in such a family? Was it just because of blood ties?
Su Wan didn’t know if her parents in heaven would oppose to her wayward behavior today.
However, Su Wan had decided to make the decision for them. At least, from now on, the people standing side by side her parents would not be the one who murdered them.
When Su Heng heard Su Wan, his body trembled uncontrollably. Never had he expected Su Wan to hand over half of Sheng Yuan’s shares so willingly!
Even though the Su’s industry was no longer as it used to be, half of Sheng Yuan’s shares was a huge amount of money!
Did Su Wan want to give up just like that?
Su Heng looked at Su Wan doubtfully. He didn’t know if she was using the tactic of ‘deceiving one’s enemy by torturing one’s own men’ or had she really never been greedy for the Su family’s a.s.sets from the beginning till now?
After some thoughts, Su Heng felt a headache. He started to look hesitant.
Su Wan looked at him indifferently and his voice was as calm as the water in the lake without any ripples.
“I’ll have the agreement drafted when I go back today. You’ll have three days to think about it after the agreement is handed over to you.”
From then on, their relations.h.i.+p would be clear.
Grandfather was not the grandfather he used to be for a long time.
Su Wan sighed in her heart. After throwing this sentence, she held Jiang Xuecheng’s hand, turned around and left.
With heartache, Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan. He had not interrupted knowing that this was a terrible matter for the Su family.
Su Wan seemed strong but in fact she was fragile. Jiang Xuecheng didn’t know how much Su Heng had hurt her.
“Su Wan, come back here…”
Hearing the angry roar from behind, Su Wan couldn’t be bothered. She brought Jiang Xuecheng out of the house without any nostalgia.
When Uncle Fu who was still tending to the plants saw Su Wan coming out with Jiang Xuecheng with gloomy face, he understood immediately.
Something unpleasant must have happened in the living room just now.
Uncle Fu lowered his head respectfully and asked softly, “Young Missy, Young Master, are you leaving now?”
“Yes, we are leaving. Goodbye, Uncle Fu. Take good care of yourself.”
Su Wan nodded without putting on any airs. After two seconds of hesitation, she continued, “Uncle Fu, my grandmother and grand…grandfather are old now and not in good health. Please help me to take care of them. Thank you.”
Uncle Fu smiled simply and honestly. “It’s my duty.”
He had been working for the Su family for nearly twenty years. Back then, when he came here, he was a young and strong man. At that time, Su Wan was still a little girl who was below waist height.
He didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, many years had pa.s.sed.
Su Wan answered ‘Mm’ softly and then gave Uncle Fu a big red packet. Uncle Fu was shocked and just as he was about to decline, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng had quickly walked out of the gate.
***
Su Wan sat at the co-driver’s seat in the car. Her eyes were lowered and she seemed to have a load on her mind.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at her and he seemed to be thinking.
“Since you’ve decided to leave the Su family, why do you still ask Uncle Fu to take care of Su Heng?”
In fact, although there weren’t any juniors in the Su family now, there was no shortage of Filipino maids.
Jiang Xuecheng was willing to call Zhao Ruolan ‘grandmother’ because she accepted him but he would never respect Su Heng who couldn’t differentiate right from wrong.
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s calm voice, Su Wan pursed her lips and then laughed at herself.
“More or less, I still can’t let go. I’ll consider it as giving myself peace of mind.”
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s unhappiness, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
“Wan Wan, do you remember Su Heng saying I did not give you betrothal gifts when I married you?”
Su Wan was stunned upon hearing this, “Why the sudden mention of this?”
Speaking of it, she didn’t give Jiang Xuecheng betrothal gifts too. She had not taken these two matters to heart.
