"I am Qingge's biological aunt, her elder, and that is an indisputable fact."
"She's always been so respectful toward me, she'll definitely side with me..."
Su Yan suppressed the unease in her heart and silently cheered herself on.
She was 95% confident.
Her niece, upon hearing that she had been bullied, would definitely vent her anger on her behalf.
The more Su Yan thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and a smug smile reappeared on her lips.
But in the next second, her smile froze on her face...
"The first matter! I hope everyone here can serve as a witness!"
"From this moment forward, Su Yan will have no further affiliation with our corporation. Any decisions she makes from now on have nothing to do with the Su Group."
Hiss~~~
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's announcement, the entire venue erupted in shock.
Many guests gasped sharply, their eyes wide in astonishment.
Su Yan was Su Shengtian's only daughter and Su Qingge's aunt—such a close, direct relationship. Could it really be severed just like that?
This was equivalent to expelling her from the Su family, a complete and irreversible break.
Someone stole a glance at the girl in the wheelchair, only to see her expression was still cold, completely emotionless.
At that moment, they understood.
That man on stage — the son-in-law brought in for a wedding luck — was just a mouthpiece.
The true mastermind behind severing ties with Su Yan...
Was the woman in the wheelchair.
It seemed that Su Yan's reckless actions over the years had finally enraged Su Qingge completely.
That was why she had hardened her heart and decided to completely cut ties with her love-obsessed aunt...
"T-This... this is impossible!!!"
At this moment, no one was more panicked than Su Yan herself.
She was stunned for quite a while before reacting, her face full of disbelief.
Even the worst-case scenarios she had imagined were a thousand times better than this!!!
She immediately pointed at Lin Xuan's nose and cursed:
"You bastard! Have you lost your mind?!"
"I am Qingge's aunt! My father is Su Shengtian! Who do you think you are, trying to kick me out of the Su family?!"
"You scheming beast! Don't think I don't know your intentions—you're just taking advantage of my father's illness and my niece's immobility to seize power, aren't you?!"
"As long as I'm here, you'll never succeed! The Su Group will always belong to the Su family! You, an outsider, have no right to interfere, let alone kick me out!!!"
"........"
Su Yan's face twisted with hatred, and her delicate body, wrapped in a red cheongsam, trembled uncontrollably.
She refused to believe this was real, though an unexplained panic had already taken root in her heart.
If she lost the Su family as her backing...
How could she continue living in luxury and enjoy a romantic life with Fa Ge, envying only mandarin ducks but not immortals?
"Hmph! My mom was right. Lin Shao, aren't you being too much? You actually want to ruin the bond between my mom and the Su family!"
"No matter what, blood is thicker than water. Old Master Su would never agree!"
"Are you worthy of the trust the entire Su family has placed in you by doing this?"
"....."
Wang Fugui's family came to their senses, exchanged glances, and quickly tried to dissuade him.
They had thought that at tonight's celebration banquet, Lin Xuan and the other junior would bow their heads and apologize.
They never expected that...
Forget about apologizing; they were planning to cut ties completely!
If Su Yan lost the Su family as her backing, then she would be worthless to the Wang family! So, they had to stop this...
Facing Su Yan and the others' desperate struggle, Lin Xuan sneered with disdain.
(￣_,￣ ).
"Su Yan, your brainless actions over the years have been obvious to everyone."
"For an old man, you didn't hesitate to harm the company's interests, just to let the Wang family leech off it."
"And now you've even driven Grandpa Su to a critical condition! Someone like you, obsessed with love, still thinks you deserve to be part of the Su family?"
"Of course! The decision to kick you out of the Su family…"
"…was personally told to me by Grandpa Su himself. Plus, it's also Qingge's decision. Just get lost already…"
"......."
As if to affirm Lin Xuan's words, Su Qingge stared at her aunt's face, which was twisted in rage, took a deep breath, and nodded coldly.
At the same time, a cold, mechanical AI voice echoed through the hall.
[Aunt, you have truly disappointed both Grandpa and me.]
The moment these words were spoken, it sealed the deal — Su Qingge's stance was set in stone.
She was truly going to expel her aunt from the Su family...
"No! This isn't real!!!"
"Qingge, I'm your aunt! How can you do this to me? Why!!!"
"When my dad wakes up, he won't forgive you."
"I am your elder! You ungrateful wretch! How will you face the ancestors of the Su family after death?!"
"I was only pursuing true love! True love is invincible!!!"
"I did nothing wrong! The problem isn't me; it's this loveless world!!!"
"......."
Su Yan refused to accept reality, screaming in madness, venting her grievances.
She glared at Su Qingge with venomous eyes, gritting her teeth in hatred.
Although Su Qingge felt uneasy, she still met her aunt's gaze coldly, refusing to back down.
That was just her nature...
Either she did nothing at all.
Or she saw things through to the very end.
Hesitation in making a decision would only lead to disaster in the end.
As for her aunt's hatred or anger, it no longer mattered…
"Tut tut tut... Looks like this is serious! I can only say that Su Yan ruined a winning hand!"
"I really don't understand these love-obsessed minds! She's not bad-looking, comes from a good family, and even if she isn't very capable, she could have lived a worry-free life as long as she didn't screw up! But now…"
"Haha! Without Su Yan as a backing, let's see how the Wang family can still show off in the future~~~"
"They're bound to go bankrupt! Back to square one overnight! Everyone knows the Wang family only grew by sucking the Su Group dry!"
"........"
Su Yan's face turned pale, her mind went blank, and she stood frozen in place, completely lost.
What now?
What was she supposed to do???
The reason she had always been so confident was because her surname was "Su"—she was Su Qingge's aunt.
No matter what she did, they were supposed to accept her unconditionally.
Because there was an unbreakable bond of blood between them.
But now, in front of so many influential people, Su Qingge had agreed to expel her from the Su family.
This meant there was no room for negotiation—she was determined to sever ties completely.
Without the Su family as her backing, how was she supposed to live in the future?!
Damn it! How did things end up like this!!!
For a brief moment, Su Yan felt a pang of regret.
If only she hadn't gotten involved with Fatty Wang back then...
She would still be the highly praised Miss Su.
Su Yan turned her head and glanced at Wang Defa's equally incredulous expression, suddenly realizing...
The wrinkles on this man's face looked kind of disgusting...
