The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 369 - Chapter 369 0369 can you shut up

Chapter 369: 0369, can you shut up? Chapter 369: 0369, can you shut up? A beautiful little face was covered in grievances and endurance, looking pitifully at Su Ran.

“Sister, why are you doing this? You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You clearly knew how important this investment was for Chongguang, so you deliberately made things difficult for us, you purposely competed with Brother Heng, right?”

“Yes.”

Su Ran admitted without any hesitation.

As this word fell, all of Su Xinyan’s following words were choked back in her throat.

This…

She really hadn’t expected such a straightforward admission.

Originally, she had planned that if Su Ran didn’t admit it, she would reverse the accusation, and maybe she could even take back the investment.

But now…

Su Ran’s cold gaze fell on Su Xinyan’s stiff face, her tone so righteous it left no room for self-respect.

“You’re right, I did it on purpose. I deliberately made things difficult for you, deliberately opposed you, deliberately snatched Xiao’s investment. Not just this investment, everything that you like, favor, have your eyes on, everything. If I can snatch it, I will, and if I can’t, I’ll destroy it…”

Every word from Su Ran was like a knife blade tempered with ice, cold and sharp, stabbing fiercely into Su Xinyan’s heart.

Especially her tone, so chilling and sinister, sent a shiver of horror through her.

“You… you…”

“Stop talking, Xinyan.”

Finally, Gu Heng interrupted Su Xinyan.

Su Ran glanced at him, her look cold and mocking.

Gu Heng’s body tensed, his gaze complicated and speechless.

After a long while, he slowly started speaking, his voice dry and hoarse.

“Xiao Ran, do you really want to do this? To execute a relentless purge, without a hint of past affection?”

Su Ran curved her lips, “Affection? Do we have any affection between us?”

Gu Heng choked, automatically ignoring the sarcasm in Su Ran’s words, his tone rather complex.

“Xiao Ran, you weren’t like this before. When did you become like this? The past you wouldn’t care about gains and losses, even though you were indifferent, you still kept a kind heart. Why have you let yourself become like this? Can’t we live in harmony? You…”

“Will you just shut up!”

Ye Zhichen, who was standing to the side, couldn’t stand it anymore. She had never seen someone so shameless in her life.

“Gu Heng, where do you get the nerve to tell Xiao Ran not to care about gains and losses? Who do you think you are? Are you worthy? Not getting the investment is your own lack of capability. In the business world, everyone relies on ability and strength. Do you think everyone is like you, always thinking of backdoor dealings and such despicable tactics?”

“A kind heart also depends on the person. Are you even human? Hah, I’ve figured it out. Not only are you blind, but when you leave the house, you also don’t bring your brain. Anyone can see that President Xiao didn’t take you seriously last night, yet some people are foolishly proud.”

“Let? Now look, do we need your ‘letting’ us win? How can you have the audacity to say that?”

Gu Heng’s expression stiffened, shaken to the core.

He looked at Ye Zhichen with a dark face, but he couldn’t utter a word.

Su Ran pulled Ye Zhichen behind her, her expression cold as she looked at Gu Heng.

“Are you wondering why, even with Miss Xiao as your trump card, you still lost?”

Gu Heng’s brow furrowed slightly; he didn’t like the word “lose” at all.

“What do you mean?”

Su Ran hooked her lips, her interested expression particularly irksome.

“Gu Heng, you don’t deserve the investment at all. You think Miss Xiao is your trump card? But you don’t know that it’s precisely because of Miss Xiao that you can’t get Xiao’s investment.”

Gu Heng’s frown deepened. What does she mean, because of Miss Xiao they couldn’t get the investment?

What was she implying?

Su Ran had no intention of clearing their confusion and, upon finishing, stepped into the elevator with Ye Zhichen.

Gu Heng watched the elevator doors closing, his brow tightly locked.

Isn’t Miss Xiao their trump card?

He turned his head to look at Su Xinyan beside him, her eyes red as she looked back at him.

“Brother Heng, what does sister mean by that? Did she say that on purpose? Is she trying to disrupt us?”

Gu Heng sighed softly, he too didn’t understand what Su Ran meant.

But he didn’t think she was just speaking off the cuff.

Su Xinyan threw herself into Gu Heng’s arms, clinging to him with both hands, her voice weak and filled with fear.

“Brother Heng, what should we do now? We didn’t get the investment, and Chongguang… and sister, why does she have to oppose us? We’ve been yielding to her at every turn, but she…”

Gu Heng naturally and adeptly took her into his arms.

“It’s okay, at the elite networking event next Friday, socialites and elite families from across the country and A-country will gather. We’ll see then if there are any opportunities for cooperation.”

Su Xinyan’s eyes suddenly lit up, a dark sheen flashing in the depths of her gaze.

Zhao Yiyi’s words unconsciously surfaced in her mind, sparking her thoughts to life.

The elite networking event…

Yes!

If they could gain the support of those big shots from A-country, what would the Xiao Family’s investment matter?

“You get ready, there will be many famous musicians attending that day. It will be helpful for you.”

Su Xinyan bit her lip and nodded obediently.

“Mhm.”

She looked up at Gu Heng, her eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach.

“I’m sorry, Brother Heng, it’s all because of me that we didn’t secure the investment this time.”

Gu Heng shook his head, his voice gentle.

“It’s not your fault, you’ve already done well. Let’s go home.”

–

Su Ran and Ye Zhichen had just left the Xiao’s building when they saw a familiar black car parked dazzlingly at the entrance.

The dominant license plate number was eye-catching.

The flowing lines, the deep body of the car, radiated an air that was unmistakably associated with a certain someone.

Ye Zhichen raised an eyebrow, casting an amused glance at Su Ran.

The rear car door opened, revealing the stunning face of Fu Qiyuan.

Su Ran quickened her pace to reach him.

“Why are you here? Don’t you have other matters?”

She was surprised to see him; he had said earlier in the morning that there was an important meeting.

Fu Qiyuan’s demeanor was indifferent, casually responding.

“Mm.”

Ye Zhichen arrived beside the two at that moment and chuckled.

“Xiao Ran, can’t you see? In President Fu’s heart, nothing is more important than you.”

Fu Qiyuan shot Ye Zhichen a cold glance, giving her a look that said, “You know your place.”

Turning to look at Su Ran again, his demeanor was clear, the chilly shadow in his eyes instantly disappearing, replaced by warmth.

“Yes, that’s the idea.”

Ye Zhichen tugged awkwardly at her lip.

This ruthless and heartless freak!!
