Chapter 536: 0526 Don’t be in a hurry to take it personally Chapter 536: 0526 Don’t be in a hurry to take it personally Watching Su Ran’s total disregard for her elders, not putting them in her eyes at all, made Tan Lirong almost explode with anger!

What a little bitch!

She was officially her stepmother, her senior, yet as a junior, she had never shown her any respect.

Clasping her hands together, Tan Lirong gritted her teeth in fury!

Despite this, she still tried to maintain a generous and gentle smile on her face.

She wasn’t in a rush!

Su Ran’s behavior would only make Wen Peipei and Su Hongde, who already detested her to the extreme, loathe her even more.

This was exactly her goal; the more the Su Family despised Su Ran, the better it was for her and Xinyan.

Fortunately, this didn’t require too much effort on her part as Su Ran herself was at odds with the Su Family!

She glanced at Wen Peipei and Su Hongde, and sure enough, both of their faces looked incredibly unpleasant.

“You worthless thing, since you promised to come back, why didn’t you come back earlier? Look at the time now! Do you have any idea how long we’ve been waiting for you?”

Su Hongde opened his mouth with a rebuke, his face full of anger.

Su Ran glanced at him coldly, with the corners of her lips curled into a slight arc.

“I did promise to come back, but did I specify a time? You chose to wait, whose fault is that?”

In other words: Did I make you wait?

“You…”

Su Hongde’s complexion suddenly changed, and the smile on Su Ran’s face was sarcastic and disdainful.

It was filled with nothing but schadenfreude!

As soon as she walked through the door, she had given everyone a dose of intimidation.

Wen Peipei was so angry that her heart ached. She closed her eyes and said in a deep voice,

“Xinyan, go upstairs and call your grandfather down!”

Su Ran looked up at her, her eyes filled with coldness.

“No need.”

Wen Peipei snorted coldly, ignoring Su Ran’s words, and made a gesture to Su Xinyan.

Su Xinyan nodded, glanced at Su Ran, and turned to go upstairs.

“What? Your grandfather loves you so much; he includes you in discussing everything. Now you don’t even want to see him?”

Su Ran’s lips curled slightly, that was quite the accusation thrown her way!

She looked at Wen Peipei and remained silent for a moment before finally speaking in a quiet voice.

“That’s not it. I’m just afraid that grandfather might suffer ill health due to certain insatiable people.”

The veiled accusation in Su Ran’s words immediately changed Wen Peipei’s complexion, “You…”

“Don’t rush to take it personally; I haven’t named anyone.”

Su Ran smiled and leisurely added another sentence.

But she successfully blocked all of Wen Peipei’s retorts, leaving her gasping for air in fury, her aging eyes turning red.

This scourge!

She hadn’t come back to discuss matters; she had come specifically to pick a fight.

Wen Peipei felt that one day she would be infuriated to death by Su Ran.

At this time, Su Xinyan was helping Su Zhongyuan come down from upstairs.

Su Ran stood up to greet Su Zhongyuan, who looked at her helplessly before finally sitting on the sofa.

Su Zhongyuan’s face conveyed authority and solemnity; in this moment, the air of the family head was undeniably displayed.

Su Xinyan carefully sat down next to Tan Lirong, rubbing her hands with a hint of nervousness.

The time had finally come to discuss serious matters!

Su Zhongyuan sat at the head of the table with a stern face, followed by Wen Peipei, Su Hongde, Tan Lirong, and Su Xinyan.

Su Ran sat on the sofa opposite Su Zhongyuan, her expression indifferent, showing no hint of embarrassment from being left out.

Su Zhongyuan’s gaze swept over the group and he spoke in a deep voice,

“Weren’t we supposed to discuss Xinyan’s wedding arrangements? Let’s discuss it, what are the plans?”

Upon hearing this, both Su Xinyan and Tan Lirong became secretly tense and excited.

However, hearing Su Zhongyuan’s casual tone, which showed no real concern, Su Xinyan felt a secret sense of indignation.

Su Zhongyuan’s gaze landed on Tan Lirong, who was beside him, and he spoke again,

“Xinyan is your daughter, tell us how you have arranged it?”

Tan Lirong slightly lowered her head and smiled, saying,

“Dad, I have discussed this issue with Mom before. Both the Gu Family and the Su Family are second to none in Yong City. The dowry must be substantial, and it also must not appear shabby, or it’ll be hard to justify it to the Gu Family and will bring shame to the Su Family. People in our circle are very gossipy; it might make it seem like the Su Family is trying to climb above their station with the Gu Family…”

Su Ran leaned her head on one hand against the armrest of the sofa, expressionless, and it was unclear whether she was really listening to Tan Lirong’s words.

But by the end, she seemed to grow increasingly impatient.

Was she brought back just to discuss the dowry?

The little possessions of the Su Family…

A waste of her time!

However, the woman who had succeeded in becoming Madam Su certainly had a way with words.

Not a single mention of what Su Xinyan would contribute, attributing everything to the face and lineage of the Su Family.

What did Wen Peipei care about the most?

The reputation of the Su Family.

In order to legitimately get more dowry for Su Xinyan, she was really putting in a lot of effort.

As Su Ran listened on, she became increasingly impatient.

“Get to the point, who has time to listen to all your preamble? Su Xinyan is your own flesh and blood, even if not for the reputation of the Su Family and the Gu Family, would you let her suffer? Why all this fuss?”

Tan Lirong’s face stiffened, and she glanced at Su Zhongyuan, indeed, his expression had darkened and he looked contemplative.

She glared fiercely at Su Ran, hesitated for a moment, and then continued,

“Mom, Hongde, and I agree that in addition to the betrothal gifts from the Gu Family, we will give Xinyan fifty million in cash, along with the villa in Nine Continents Garden and the house in the city center…

Additionally, the wedding jewelry is essential, including a Purple Diamond Bracelet, two sets of Sapphires, two sets of Rubies, two sets of Pearl Necklaces, two pairs of Gold Bracelets, and two Diamond Rings.

Since Xinyan will be taking over the company’s business after marrying into the Gu Family, Hongde and I discussed transferring the jewelry store in the south of the city, the club, the hotel, and the coffee shop and cinema in the city center into Xinyan’s name beforehand so she can get some practice.

That’s all for now, as for the rest, we still need to see your and Mom’s decision…”

That’s all for now?

Even a fool could tell that these were just Tan Lirong’s personal arrangements, the so-called ‘rest’…

Naturally, she was looking to see if anyone else present had something to offer.

The living room fell silent for a while, the atmosphere turning somewhat eerie.

Tan Lirong looked at Su Zhongyuan with hopeful eyes, hoping that as a grandfather, he would show some gesture towards Xinyan at this time.

She knew very well that the old man still had quite a few treasures at hand, and compared with what she had given to Xinyan, it was hardly anything!

Su Xinyan was also looking at Su Zhongyuan with expectation at this time, since the Su Family was destined to be hers.

Could it be that at this moment, the grandfather was still hiding something?

In response to the arrangements Tan Lirong had made for Su Xinyan, Su Zhongyuan did not express any opinion but instead asked,

“And what about Xiao Ran’s dowry, how have you arranged that?”

Tan Lirong’s expression changed, as she only now remembered Su Ran.

And the others also recalled that Su Ran was right there in the living room.
