"Yan'er, what's going on here?"
Hearing that the bank card was frozen, Wang Defa exclaimed in shock.
Ever since Su Shengtian was hospitalized, Su Yan's bank card should have been restored to an unlimited Super VIP gold card, right?!
"I'm not sure either. It should be a mistake from the bank's side, right?"
"It's fine, I'll just use another one."
Su Yan frowned slightly.
But she didn't take it too seriously and pulled out a few more cards from her wallet, handing them to the store clerk.
Now that the Su Group was making money hand over fist every day, plenty of banks were eager to cooperate. One bank messing up wasn't a big deal.
Two and a half minutes later.
Under the store clerk's strange gaze, all the bank cards showed as frozen.
"This... how could this happen?"
Su Yan's expression turned ugly; she clearly realized something was wrong.
Ring ring ring—
Just as the older and younger person were puzzled, Wang Defa's phone suddenly rang.
"Grandpa, something big has happened!!"
"My dad and I, along with my uncle and aunt, have all been fired from the company!!!"
"And most of them were arrested for embezzlement and bribery. They might have to face at least three to five years in prison..."
"Help, Grandpa, wuwuwu..."
Wang Xiaofa was clearly terrified, his tone carrying a sob.
"What did you say?! What exactly happened? Explain clearly! Could it be that Su... Brother Su woke up???"
Suddenly hearing this unfortunate news.
Wang Defa exclaimed repeatedly, his old face filled with disbelief, thinking that Su Shengtian had woken up and was settling old scores.
"It's not that old man, it's that damn live-in son-in-law, he brought that vegetable..."
"Luckily, Mom sought help from Young Master Huo at the last minute, so my dad and I were bailed out. But my uncle and the others aren't so lucky..."
"Those two bastards have now frozen all cooperation projects with our Wang family. They're planning to wipe us out completely!!!"
Wang Xiaofa gritted his teeth and explained the entire situation.
That fast of a reaction?!
Learning that everything was done by Lin Xuan and his wife, Wang Defa was greatly shocked.
Ever since he learned that Su Qingge had woken up from her vegetative state...
Wang Defa had anticipated this day, but he never expected it to come so soon...
After comforting his grandson a little, the call was hung up.
"Husband, don't worry."
"I'll call my niece right now. She usually listens to me the most, so she definitely wouldn't dare to disobey my orders."
Since the call was on speakerphone, Su Yan understood the whole situation and instantly became furious.
She never expected that after Su Qingge woke up...
She would dare to act without informing her, directly freezing her bank cards and targeting her husband's family?!
Hmph!
Good, very good!!!
This unfilial niece, it seems she completely... doesn't take her own aunt seriously at all!!!
Su Yan patted her chest, feeling indignant, and vowed that she would make Su Qingge restore the cooperation between the two families and apologize to the Wang family.
Hearing this, Wang Defa's eyes flickered.
Then, his old face showed a trace of sorrow as he pretended to persuade her with reluctance:
"Ah! Yan'er, forget it. Let it end here..."
"I can understand your niece's feelings. She must have resentment towards you because of Brother Su's downfall."
"The Wang family owes everything we have today to you, Yan'er. Now, sigh... this is just fate, not anyone's fault."
"You've already given too much! I was already heartbroken with guilt over Brother Su's situation. I can't let you have conflicts with your own niece because of me."
"We are fated but not destined to be together. From now on, let's just cut ties and never see each other again! As for the child... you should... abort it..."
"....."
Wang Defa pounded his chest, tears streaming down his old face, looking utterly heartbroken.
"How can this be?!"
Hearing the old man say he wanted to break up and even make her abort the child, Su Yan's face changed drastically.
Now, Wang Defa was her entire world.
The child they conceived together was an irreplaceable part of her life.
She was willing to give everything and sacrifice everything for Wang Defa and their child.
Now that he wanted to cut ties forever, how could she accept it? It was worse than killing her! She might as well just die!!!
Thinking of this.
Su Yan's resentment toward her niece deepened.
If it weren't for her interference, she and Brother Fa would probably already be living a blissful life together…
It would've been better if she had remained a vegetable?!
Why did she have to wake up?
If only she had just stayed asleep forever...
Su Yan's face darkened, and she took out her phone, preparing to call her unfilial niece.
"Husband, don't worry. I will never leave you! No matter what despicable tricks my niece tries to use to separate us, I will never surrender, even if I die!!!"
"Your family is my family, and I will never stand idly by."
"I'm calling Qingge right now to ask if she still acknowledges me as her aunt or if she intends to rebel?!"
"......"
Su Yan's tone was cold, and she looked furious.
She had tolerated being suppressed by her father all these years. But now even a junior dared to defy her?!
Su Qingge had always been obedient and respectful.
So, Su Yan was certain she had the upper hand—and was determined to teach her niece a lesson about elder authority!!!
"Sigh..."
Seeing that the timing was just right, Wang Defa pretended to sigh and stood to the side, putting on a look of reluctance.
In reality, he was secretly overjoyed.
He had previously investigated and found that Su Qingge valued family deeply. She always obeyed the only two close relatives she had.
Now that Su Yan was personally calling to confront her, that little girl from the Su family would surely come to them, dressed in sackcloth, seeking forgiveness soon...
Beep beep beep—
Su Yan dialed repeatedly, but all she got was a busy tone.
"I… I've been blocked? How dare she?!"
Su Yan slowly put down her phone, her pupils filled with disbelief, her face alternating between pale and flushed.
She wasn't a fool.
She finally sensed that something unusual was happening...
Not just her, but Wang Defa's old face also changed, realizing that this was becoming a big problem.
If Su Yan, their trump card, couldn't get through...
Then this would truly be troublesome.
"Yan'er, let's go home first and discuss this."
After speaking, Wang Defa endured the store clerk's disdainful gaze, shamelessly returned all the packed items, and quickly dragged Su Yan away...
Until the two returned to the Wang family's small villa...
Su Yan was still in shock at being blocked, unable to believe it!
In her memory, although her niece had a cold personality, she had always been obedient to her!
But after waking up this time...
How could she block her?!
Could it be that she had completely angered Qingge by causing her father's health to deteriorate?
After all, the grandfather and granddaughter had a close bond, much better than her relationship with him.
Thinking of this, Su Yan's brow furrowed even deeper, a sense of frustration rising.
She had always known her father favored her niece, always giving her the best first.
And that imbalance…
Made Su Yan incredibly jealous of Su Qingge.
While she was lost in her thoughts, the two had already entered the villa and arrived in the living room.
At this moment, Wang Defa's entire family was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing Su Yan enter, they all turned their gazes toward her in unison, their expressions somewhat unpleasant.
On normal days, they would still put on smiling faces and exchange fake pleasantries.
But after today's sudden disaster, they were clearly holding resentment in their hearts and naturally showed no kindness toward Su Yan.
Among them, a woman as thin as a bamboo stick, with a face full of sharp, mean features, directly snorted coldly and said sarcastically:
"Oh wow~~ Mom, you actually came back?"
"I thought it was under your orders that your niece ruthlessly turned against her own family and had my husband and son arrested?"
Hearing this, Su Yan quickly forced a smile and tried to appease her:
"Xiuman! You misunderstood me, don't be mad! I just found out about this too."
"Don't worry! I won't let you suffer this injustice for nothing. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
The woman's name was Zhu Xiuman.
She was two years younger than Su Yan and was Wang Defa's daughter-in-law, the wife of Wang Fugui.
After learning that her husband and son had been arrested, she was so frightened she nearly wet herself and immediately sought help from the Huo family.
Although Wang Xiaofa and his father had now been released.
The rest of their relatives, however, were still in detention, facing possible imprisonment.
How could Zhu Xiuman not be angry? Of course she was furious and had no intention of being polite.
Even Wang Fugui, sitting beside her, had his chubby cheeks trembling as he spoke sarcastically:
"Hehe... How would we dare be angry at you, Mom? Otherwise, what if you have your niece throw me into jail too?"
"No, no! This really has nothing to do with me!"
Su Yan looked anxious, desperately trying to explain.
"You are my husband's family, which means you are also my family. How could I possibly harm you?"
"This was all my unfilial niece's doing on her own. Once I go back, I will make sure to get justice for you all."
"........"
Faced with Su Yan's desperate pleas, along with Wang Defa trying to mediate, the expressions on Wang Fugui's family members' faces finally softened a little.
The main reason was that they didn't dare to completely fall out with Su Yan. They just wanted to pressure her a little and make her recognize her place…
The Wang family was originally just an ordinary household, so poor that they could only afford to rent a basement.
The reason they were now able to live in this small villa was entirely due to Su Yan's financial support, so they obviously couldn't afford to completely sever ties with her.
"Grandma, don't blame my parents. They were just overwhelmed with concern."
"After all, the company's business is closely tied to the group. Now, all cooperation has been frozen, and they're even talking about pursuing legal responsibilities."
"Isn't this basically forcing our whole family into ruin? You have to understand!"
Wang Xiaofa spoke earnestly, working in tandem with his parents—one playing the good cop, the other the bad cop.
And Su Yan had clearly already been completely misled, nodding repeatedly in agreement.
"Don't worry, I am still Su Qingge's elder. She wouldn't dare defy me."
"I will definitely give you all an explanation for this matter! As for your losses, I will compensate you double."
Hearing this.
The Wang family members immediately showed joyful expressions, finally nodding in satisfaction.
"But Mom, isn't your niece way too heartless?"
"I even told her about my relationship with you, and even that you're carrying my dad's child."
"But Su Qingge remained completely indifferent and called the police to have us all arrested."
"And Grandpa was really unfair too. How could he leave all his shares to his grandchildren and not give even a little to you, Mom? That's way too biased..."
Wang Fugui furrowed his brows, fanning the flames on the side, pretending to feel injustice on Su Yan's behalf.
But in reality, this was also his true opinion.
Originally, they thought Su Yan would have at least 10% of the shares.
They never expected her to have absolutely none, otherwise, they wouldn't have been so powerless in this situation.
If only Su Shengtian had left all his shares to his daughter...
Then taking over the Su Group would have been much easier. They could have just forced Su Yan to transfer the shares to them unconditionally, without all this hassle?!
And Wang Fugui's words struck right at Su Yan's heart.
She had already thought Su Shengtian was biased, and now she was even more convinced.
However, the urgent matter now was to find a way to contact Su Qingge and order her to apologize to the Wang family...
But when she remembered that her number had been blocked, her face turned ugly again.
Even at this point...
Su Yan still couldn't believe that her once-obedient niece would be so resolute in blocking her...
At this moment.
In her mind, the annoying yet handsome face of Lin Xuan suddenly appeared.
Recalling their first encounter...
The man had been aggressive, showing no respect for his elders.
And her niece was spending time with him every day—being influenced by him and falling for his manipulation made sense.
So that's how it is, so that's how it is...
That girl Qingge had changed because she was bewitched by that live-in son-in-law.
At this moment, Su Yan completely understood!!!
Just then, a housekeeper walked in and handed over a red invitation.
"Boss, someone sent Miss Su Yan an invitation."
Hmm?
Everyone was stunned, unsure why Su Yan had suddenly received an invitation.
Wang Defa took it, opened it, and suddenly understood everything.
"This is the originally scheduled celebration banquet. Brother Su had planned a banquet to celebrate the huge success of [Beauty Pill], inviting many prominent figures."
"At first, I thought that given Brother Su's condition..."
"The banquet would be canceled! But it's going ahead as planned. It looks like that young couple will personally make an appearance..."
"....."
After hearing Wang Defa's words, Su Yan's whole body trembled, a spark flashed in her mind, and all her thoughts connected.
She understood again!!!
"My niece, she's really scheming. Such careful planning."
"She attacked the Wang family, froze my bank cards, and blocked my contact. Everything she did was actually to pressure me into breaking up with Brother Fa."
"That's what I thought! Even if she was deceived by some scoundrel, that girl Qingge has always respected me. How could her personality suddenly change?"
"It seems she was truly angry about my father being hospitalized. That's why she resorted to such drastic measures!"
"As for deliberately sending this invitation, it's proof that my niece is bowing her head to me. Otherwise, if she really wanted to sever ties, why bother with this extra move?"
"It's all because she wants to use the banquet as an opportunity to mend our relationship..."
"But she underestimates me. How could I break up with Brother Fa just because of a little pressure?"
"......"
Su Yan's face was full of confidence as she spoke with absolute certainty.
She was 95% sure that she had guessed correctly.
Because aside from this reason, she couldn't think of any other explanation.
And after hearing this speculation...
The Wang family members thought about it carefully, then collectively slapped their foreheads in sudden realization.
"That's right, it makes perfect sense. I didn't expect the truth to be like this?!"
"So that's it! No wonder she's Brother Su's granddaughter—she's inherited his cleverness! Hahaha..."
"Too bad she underestimated the true love between Mom and Dad. These little tricks are completely useless."
"Exactly, exactly! Any schemes are futile in the face of Grandpa and Grandma's true love."
"......."
After realizing the 'truth,' Wang Fugui and the others finally sighed in relief, the smug smiles on their faces refusing to fade.
As long as Su Qingge still cared about this aunt...
Then they could continue to manipulate her at will—she was nothing to fear.
As for that live-in son-in-law, he was nothing—just a mere tool...
…..
In the blink of an eye, time swiftly passed.
Before anyone realized it, the entire afternoon had slipped away.
At 8 PM.
The Su family's celebration banquet had begun...
