The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 566 - Chapter 566 0556 Get used to it

Chapter 566: 0556 Get used to it. Chapter 566: 0556 Get used to it. All her blood boiled once more.

The hand enveloping her waist also began to fidget.

Su Ran drew in a sharp breath, turned around in the man’s embrace, and suddenly met his profound and dark eyes, feeling a tremble in her heart.

Her gaze faltered, and she quickly seized the man’s large hand.

“It still hurts…”

Her voice was hoarse, and her tone was filled with a soft, tender sense of grievance.

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiyuan immediately sat up in bed and then reached to pull the blanket off her.

Su Ran, seeing this, quickly clutched the blanket tighter, watching him with a wary face.

“You… don’t mess around…”

Fu Qiyuan felt somewhat helpless, but still coaxed her gently:

“I won’t mess around, just checking to see whether something got hurt?”

“…No.”

Su Ran shook her head, the man’s deep and husky voice though gentle, seemed too explicit and filled with innuendo, leading her to clutch the blanket even tighter.

“Good girl, let me have a look…”

Su Ran bit her lip tightly, still unwilling to compromise.

“I’m fine, just… a bit tired.”

Noticing the girl’s flushed cheeks, Fu Qiyuan’s eyes glimmered, and with a low chuckle, he drew her into his embrace.

Gently kissing her face, he whispered into her ear:

“Sorry, I’ll be more careful next time.”

Su Ran’s face grew redder, and looking at the handsome and gentle face before her, it was hard to imagine that such a reserved and restrained man could speak such words.

She shyly burrowed into the blanket, a muffled voice coming from within.

“Don’t disturb me, I need to rest a bit longer.”

Fu Qiyuan watched her actions and laughed helplessly, pulling her out from under the blanket.

“Eat lunch, then sleep.”

Su Ran blinked, feeling genuinely hungry, so she didn’t refuse and nodded.

By the time the two of them had tidied up and gone downstairs, the maid had already prepared lunch.

The intense encounter from the previous night had been quite the workout and had caused them to miss breakfast.

Now, faced with the food before her, her appetite surged.

Fu Qiyuan considerately served Su Ran the dishes, which she accepted without resistance.

After lunch, they sat on the couch in the living room for rest, Su Ran leaning limply against Fu Qiyuan’s shoulder.

Fu Qiyuan sat beside her, one hand on her waist, gently massaging it.

“Does your back still ache?”

At this, Su Ran sleepily looked up at him, sensing the pressure on her waist, and indeed, a soreness surged forth from his touch.

She closed her eyes again and exhaled a single word softly.

“Aches…”

Fu Qiyuan chuckled softly, continuing to rub her waist, and laughingly said:

“You’ll get used to it…”

Su Ran lightly responded, enjoying the perfect strength he applied to her waist.

She dozed in the man’s arms, and at that moment, her mobile phone began to ring again.

Frowning slightly, she slowly opened her starry eyes, revealing a fleeting impatience in their depths.

She sighed deeply before picking up the phone.

When she saw the caller ID, her brow furrowed even more.

“Hello?”

After a moment, the call connected, and a cold voice abruptly rang out, without any attempt to disguise it.

“What tone is this?”

Wen Peipei heard Su Ran’s impatient voice, and a wave of anger she couldn’t control immediately followed, resounding with a somber and authoritative tone.

“Just say what you have to say.”

Su Ran got straight to the point, not bothering to waste words with her.

Wen Peipei’s face was clouded over, but she still tried to keep her temper in check, afraid that she’d inadvertently give this curse a chance to ask for a lion’s share.

After a long while.

“You come home today with the shares you have in hand. There are some things that should be resolved.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s starry eyes slightly narrowed. Since the other party was so direct, she naturally wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest.

“Fine.”

Wen Peipei breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the gloominess between her brows eased a bit.

“When will you…”

Su Ran hung up the phone, not interested in wasting more words with her.

It seemed that the Su Family was planning to buy out the shares she held.

Judging by the urgency in Wen Peipei’s tone, and with the awards ceremony still half a month away, the reason for her haste.

Su Ran’s starry eyes narrowly squinted, the answer almost leaping out at her.

Tomorrow was the wedding of Gu Heng and Su Xinyan; it must have been the Su Family’s plan to take the shares from her hands before the couple’s wedding.

That being so, it wasn’t a lie that the Su Family was preparing a dowry for Su Xinyan.

“What are you thinking about?”

Fu Qiyuan asked as he saw her lost in thought.

Su Ran lifted her eyes to look at him, her voice slightly cold.

“Wen Peipei called and asked me to take the shares I have and go back for a bit. The international competition has just ended, and they are in such a hurry. It seems this competition has given them confidence. Tomorrow is the wedding of Gu Heng and Su Xinyan. The Su Family wants Su Xinyan to have a firm foothold in the Gu Family, so they must fight for more on her behalf…”

Fu Qiyuan nodded calmly, saying:

“So, does this mean that Su Xinyan is the person with the most shares in the Su Family?”

Su Ran’s keen eyes flashed with insight as she sighed lightly, somewhat helplessly:

“The Su Family has staked all their bets on Su Xinyan, and they must believe that she will win the championship in this international competition.

The Enriching designs that win the World Designer Competition will certainly make big news. Not only that, but it will also successfully enter Global Mall, and the benefits brought by these moves are simply immeasurable.

If my guess is right, not only does the Su Family want to buy my shares to give to Su Xinyan, but the shares that Wen Peipei and… Hongde hold will also likely be given to Su Xinyan at this opportunity.

This won’t just show the Gu Family their sincerity, but the marriage between the two families will be further solidified. Tomorrow’s wedding, rather than being the fruit of Gu Heng and Su Xinyan’s love, is more like a symbol of the strong alliance between Su Family and Gu Family.”

Moreover, since all the Su Family shares will be given to Su Xinyan, she will definitely become the top shareholder of Enrich.

And as she’s also the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family, Enrich would effectively fall into the hands of the Gu Family.

That must be the reason Deng Jingru detests her yet pushed so hard for the union between Gu Heng and Su Xinyan.

Given the attitude of the Su Family towards her, there’s no way Enrich could fall into her hands.

Both being daughters of the Su Family, why couldn’t the Gu Family choose the wife that would bring benefits to Gu Heng?

Businesspeople value profits above all, a truth immutable through the ages.

However, Su Xinyan had managed to get the unconditional belief of both the Su and Gu families on her word alone.

Such a capacity to bewitch and manipulate was truly beyond reach.

And how could she let them step on her to rise to power as they wished?

Since they trusted Su Xinyan so much, they would naturally have to pay a price.

Fu Qiyuan felt a pang of pity for the girl’s plight, who should have been doted on as the beloved young miss, yet was being so unfairly schemed against by her own family.

“It seems that the Gu Family has also intervened in the matter of the shares!”
