The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 370 - Chapter 370 Why should I be the one to open it

Chapter 370: Why should I be the one to open it? Chapter 370: Why should I be the one to open it? Su Ran repressed a giggle, taking in Ye Zhichen’s expression entirely.

Ye Zhichen rolled her eyes speechlessly, glaring at her fiercely.

Fu Qiyuan took the opportunity to pull Su Ran into his arms, his eyes filled with warning, and his expression grew colder.

Ye Zhichen: “…”

Who had she offended?

Su Ran still couldn’t help but laugh; she looked up at Fu Qiyuan and tugged at his sleeve.

His eyes flickered slightly, eventually resting on Su Ran, and the warning in them dissolved instantly, leaving only warmth.

Ye Zhichen’s knuckles turned white as she clenched her fists, grinding her teeth in anger.

Those two bastards, didn’t they see her standing alone on the side?

This wasn’t just showing off, it was practically butchering love!

And she was that single dog being slaughtered!

She could even feel the pink bubbles forming around the two, had they no shame?

Was being in a relationship such a big deal?!

Fu Qiyuan completely missed Ye Zhichen’s ever-changing expressions, straightening Su Ran’s tousled hair over her shoulder.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you back to the office.”

Su Ran sighed lightly at him, “Actually, there really was no need for you to come pick me up, it’s not a big deal.”

“Picking you up is the biggest deal.”

Fu Qiyuan gazed at her, his tone deep and serene as if he was discussing something completely normal.

Ye Zhichen’s mouth twitched, she glanced at Su Ran and smiled.

“Not bad, Xiao Ran, look how anxious President Fu is, afraid you’d run off with someone else. He’s not at ease even when you go out for a cooperation, picking up and dropping off. It’s only short of tying you to his belt, impressive!”

Fu Qiyuan said nothing, just stared coldly at Ye Zhichen.

A threat from the depths of his soul made her gradually unable to keep laughing.

Su Ran quietly leaned in the man’s embrace, looking down, not taking sides.

“Get in the car.”

Fu Qiyuan’s cool voice sounded faintly.

“But my car…”

“Leave it to Qin Feng.”

Su Ran nodded, her gaze drifting across Fu Qiyuan and Ye Zhichen, and after some thought.

“Let me drive.”

“Let her drive.”

With that, he tossed the car keys to Ye Zhichen, who was standing aside.

Ye Zhichen caught them subconsciously, and after she realized it, glared furiously at Fu Qiyuan.

“Why should I be the one to drive?”

Fu Qiyuan glanced at her dismissively.

“Who’s going to drive if not you? There’s no such thing as a free ride.”

Having said that, he led Su Ran directly to the back seat.

Ye Zhichen stood in place holding the car keys, her entire being like a small cosmos on the verge of explosion, radiating anger.

What dismissive glance?

That bastard was threatening her every moment.

Not only did she have to tolerate their affection, she also had to be the driver.

Ye Zhichen pouted and finally resigned herself to getting into the car.

Not long after the car had driven off, Ye Zhichen saw Gu Heng and Su Xinyan walking out of the building through the rearview mirror.

Her gaze then fell back to the back seat, she glanced at Su Ran and voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.

“Xiao Ran, did you already know that Xiao’s would invest in Zisu? And Miss Xiao… why couldn’t they secure Xiao’s investment because of her?”

Su Ran leaned back in her chair, her lips curling into a slight smile.

“Given Su Xinyan’s character, knowing that Miss Xiao is her fan, she would never waste such an opportunity. She might still be basking in smugness for having known this news in advance, wanting to use it to draw closer to the Xiao Family. Little does she know, the moment she broached the subject, Xiao’s investment was doomed to elude them.”

Ye Zhichen nodded and smiled, “She finally caught a lifeline, how could she not make use of it? It’s just unfortunate that sometimes a lifeline can turn deadly.”

Su Ran’s expression was indifferent as she turned her gaze toward the rapidly passing streets outside the window.

“Mrs. Xiao nearly lost her life giving birth to Miss Xiao. The Gu Family had been waiting for generations to have such a girl, so naturally, they treasure her like a precious gem. Everyone knows that the Gu Family adores their daughter, but what the outside world doesn’t know is that the Gu Family also hates it when people bring up Miss Xiao’s name.”

Through the rearview mirror, Ye Zhichen glanced at Su Ran and asked in confusion,

“Why?”

Su Ran retracted her gaze, her lips formed a smile, and a trace of profound light flashed in her starry eyes.

“Because when Miss Xiao was young, she was once kidnapped.”

Ye Zhichen froze momentarily, then let out a cold laugh.

“Su Xinyan has really kicked an iron plate this time. Gu Heng must really have a hole in his brain to let her try to attract Xiao’s investment.”

Su Ran’s expression was icy.

Isn’t it just like having a hole in the brain?

When Xiao Yize didn’t kick them out of the company at that time, it was only because his breeding and upbringing wouldn’t allow him to do so.”

In the backseat, Fu Qiyuan’s gaze had been fixed on Su Ran. Hearing their conversation, he squinted his eyes imperceptibly.

There seemed to be far too many unusual secrets about her.

Especially the flash of astute brilliance that had just passed through her eyes, incomparably stunning.

Not only did she carry many inscrutable secrets upon her, but she also seemed to possess a grasp on many unconventional secrets in her hands.

The concealed matters within the Gu Family and the Xia Family were as transparent as clear lake water in her presence.

–

Gu Heng returned to the company, while Su Xinyan went straight back to the Su Family home.

At this moment.

In the living room of the Su Family home, Wen Peipei, Su Hongde, and Tan Lirong were filled with joy as they eagerly awaited Su Xinyan’s good news.

With Su Xinyan and Gu Heng tied together, the Su Family and the Gu Family naturally shared both glory and loss.

Su Xinyan was the Big Sister of Chongguang and also the chief designer of Enrich. Both families placed high hopes on her.

For the cooperation with the Xiao’s, the Gu Family had been preparing for a long time. Although there were many competitors, very few could truly rival the Gu Family.

Especially when Su Xinyan left that morning, she had confidently assured them, promising she would secure this investment for Chongguang.

Her confident remarks naturally earned her the praise of everyone at the Su Family.

Wen Peipei sat in the main seat of the living room, occasionally glancing at the clock on the wall.

“Why hasn’t Xinyan come back yet?”

Tan Lirong, while anxious, managed to keep a steady face. Xinyan was her precious daughter, intelligent and capable, never disappointing them.

“Oh my, Mum, it’s still early. An investment as big as Xiao’s surely requires time. Don’t worry, just wait a little longer.”

Wen Peipei sighed softly, knowing she was being impatient.

But she couldn’t help but worry and said again,

“I wonder how the negotiation is going? Whether they can secure the investment.”

Tan Lirong poured a glass of water for Wen Peipei and placed it in front of her, smiling.

“Mum, when has Xinyan ever disappointed you? Don’t you believe in her? Rest assured, it’s definitely not a problem.”

That remark eased Wen Peipei’s worried expression considerably, and she let out a slight sigh of relief in her heart.

“That’s right, Xinyan has always been the Lucky Star of our Su Family; she has never let anyone down, and I’m sure this time will be no different.”
