The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 532 - Chapter 532 Its time to teach her a lesson

Chapter 532: It’s time to teach her a lesson. Chapter 532: It’s time to teach her a lesson. Tan Lirong saw the situation and echoed in agreement.

“Yes, Mother, the company is in dire straits right now. Xiao Ran may be a Su, but surely we can let bygones be bygones. Besides, Xinyan and Gu Heng are going to get married soon. Isn’t it about time to bring her back for a discussion?”

Tan Lirong naturally felt some indignation as she said this because Xinyan had had a tough time recently.

The succession of events in the last few days had worn her out, leaving her face pale without a trace of color, having slimmed down noticeably.

And the root cause of every single problem was Su Ran!

Her daughter was having a rough time; naturally, she wasn’t going to let that woman’s daughter have it any easier.

Wen Peipei sat on the chair with a stony face, the words of the Su mother and daughter duo stirring thoughts within her.

After a long while, she finally said in a deep voice,

“Being part of the Su Family, it’s time she contributed her fair share.”

Upon hearing this, Tan Lirong felt a surge of pleasure and exchanged a glance with Xinyan, then continued,

“I’ll have Hongde call Xiao Ran and ask her to come back. What about Xinyan’s dowry, Mother, what are your thoughts?”

At the mention of the dowry, Xinyan’s breathing seized; in her beautiful, delicate eyes gleamed a ruthless and greedy look.

The Su Family and the company were meant to be hers alone.

After all these years, she had given so much to the family, including the designs Enrich still relied on. If not for her, who would it go to? Certainly not to let Su Ran benefit?

Wen Peipei frowned, “You decide on the arrangements.”

Not getting the answer she wanted, Tan Lirong felt a twinge of anxiety and cautiously glanced at Wen Peipei before saying again,

“But…”

Wen Peipei looked up at her, “Xinyan is my granddaughter; do you think I would let her be shortchanged?”

Tan Lirong’s face suddenly changed, and her eyes shifted guiltily.

“Mother, I didn’t mean that. If we’re talking about who loves Xinyan the most in the Su Family, you come first, no one dares to claim second, sometimes even I, as her own mother, feel inferior. I naturally know you wouldn’t shortchange Xinyan.”

“It’s just that both the Su Family and the Gu Family are among the foremost clans in Yong City. The guests attending the wedding will be prominent figures, and I’m just worried about any inadequacy that could dishonor the Su Family.”

With a justifiable explanation, Tan Lirong managed to slightly improve Wen Peipei’s mood.

“Xinyan is my granddaughter, and Enrich will eventually be hers to lead. Naturally, I will not let her be wronged when she marries into the Gu Family. Arrange those things as you see fit, I have my own plans for the rest.”

Tan Lirong pursed her lips and glanced at Xinyan with significant meaning, a difficult expression forming on her face.

“But father…”

At this, Wen Peipei’s face suddenly darkened, “What are you trying to say?”

Tan Lirong’s eyes flickered uncomfortably and then she continued,

“Father insists on providing Xiao Ran with a dowry equivalent to Xinyan’s. You know the current state of our finances, Mother. Since Xinyan is getting married before Xiao Ran, I can only prioritize this side of affairs for the time being. As for Xiao Ran…”

“Humph, she doesn’t even acknowledge her ties to the Su Family, why should she even think about a Su dowry?”

Wen Peipei’s face never lit up when it came to Su Ran.

“Compared to Xinyan, father has always been more fond of Xiao Ran. I’m just worried that he won’t agree with such an arrangement.”

A flash of resentfulness and unwillingness passed across Xinyan’s face which quickly turned into a falsely fragile and wounded expression.

“Grandmother, it’s okay, I don’t mind, let’s just go with grandfather’s decision!”

Seeing Xinyan’s look of hurt and distress, a trace of sympathy passed across Wen Peipei’s face, but her heart grew even more repulsed by Su Ran.

“All are his granddaughters, he can’t be partial, can he!”

As she spoke, she gently patted Su Xinyan’s hand.

“Don’t worry, Enrich will sooner or later be yours, Grandma will surely not let you suffer any grievances. I will discuss this matter with your grandfather.”

A surge of happiness rose in Su Xinyan’s heart, and she subtly suppressed the joy in her eyes, her face showing a conflicted struggle.

“But Grandpa…”

“Don’t worry about your grandfather, he’s getting older and is inevitably a bit senile. He doesn’t even see who is supporting the company now. Xinyan, you should understand how important this international competition is. The future of Enrich, as well as the Su Family, all depends on this competition. Once you come back with good results this time, your grandfather will understand who really contributes to the Su Family.”

When the competition was mentioned, Su Xinyan clasped her hands tightly together, her heart beating fiercely, filled with anticipation.

She could hardly wait for the international competition to start; Su Ran had been too arrogant lately, and it was time to put her in her place.

The World Designer Competition was her only opportunity!

The humiliations and indignities she had endured recently were going to be paid back to Su Ran in double!

This time, she was not only going to make her lose face in front of the whole world, but also to make her despised by the whole world.

She would trample that wretch into the mud and make sure she would never be able to rise again in her lifetime.

Taking a deep breath, her heart thumped wildly.

“Grandma, rest assured, I will definitely work hard.”

Wen Peipei’s face was filled with kindness and benevolence, “Grandma knows you’re under a lot of pressure, not to mention your sister will also be in the competition. She has always harbored resentment towards the family, it’s time to teach her a lesson, and let her suffer the consequences of her own choices!”

Tan Lirong let out a cold laugh at the side, not taking Su Ran seriously at all.

“Mom, you don’t need to worry. All these years, she hasn’t produced any works of note, and with plagiarism suspicions hanging over her, how could she possibly compete with Xinyan?”

Tan Lirong spoke with undisguised disdain on her face.

Su Xinyan’s complexion became somewhat unnaturally altered, losing the calm and ease she had at the start, as her mood grew heavy.

“Mom, don’t say that; my sister has developed Qianran International so well, she’s a formidable opponent, very outstanding…”

Wen Peipei suddenly let out a cold laugh, “Hmph, who knows if she used some underhanded methods again, those designs might not even be hers, such coincidences are just too fishy!”

Wen Peipei’s tone was sharp and harsh!

In her heart, the perception of Su Ran had taken deep root and was unchangeable!

Even when Su Ran was a child, she did not like her.

That dislike was firmly embedded in her heart, no matter how she looked, she found her disagreeable.

If it wasn’t for the DNA test, she would have doubted whether Su Ran was even a member of the Su Family.

Until later when Xinyan entered the Su Family, just one look was enough to make one especially fond of her.

Since then, no one could be mentioned in the same breath as Xinyan.

Even more so, Su Ran, who was always opposing Xinyan in every way.

Moreover, who dictated that one must be impartially treated?

If she didn’t like it, she didn’t like it!

Tan Lirong opened her mouth with indifference again:

“Your grandmother is right, there’s no need to focus all your thoughts on her. Just the name ‘Heart’ alone is enough to keep her down. Better to focus your energy on other competitors!”
