The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 567 - Chapter 567 There is no need to keep talking

Chapter 567: There is no need to keep talking. Chapter 567: There is no need to keep talking. Fu Qiyuan’s words elicited a cold snort from Su Ran, her tone brimming with sarcasm.

“This once in a lifetime opportunity, they naturally wouldn’t pass up.”

It was a perfect chance for the Gu Family to completely take over the Su Family.

But no matter how deep Deng Jingru’s schemes ran, in the end, it was hard to say who had played whom…

It really wasn’t easy to tell!

Thinking of this, she let out a slight sigh.

“It’s fine. Right now, the Gu Family’s fortunes are tied with the Su Family’s, for better or for worse. I had never intended to let them off anyway. It’s too much trouble to deal with them separately; this way I can handle everything all at once.”

Fu Qiyuan wrapped an arm around her shoulders, gently pulling her into his embrace.

“Don’t be upset. If you want the Su Family, I’ll just create a new Enrich for you later.”

Su Ran shook her head slightly, her voice filled with regret.

“I never wanted the Su Family for myself. I just feel sad for my mother. It was a place where she invested her life and energy. Yet the Su Family is doomed to no longer exist in the future.”

Fu Qiyuan stroked her head, comforting her:

“She won’t blame you.”

Su Ran turned to look at him, her eyes filled with tender warmth.

“I know she won’t.”

Her mother loved her so much, how could she bear to blame her?

So, whether it was for her mother or herself, the Su Family… was finished!

Fu Qiyuan leaned down and kissed her face, his low voice slowly rising.

“Let’s go to the Su Family later. For now, let’s go back to the room and rest for a bit.”

Su Ran nodded. Hearing his words, a wave of drowsiness gradually overcame her.

By the time she woke up again, it was already past three in the afternoon. After getting ready briefly, she went directly to the Su Family.

In the enormous Su Family home, everyone was present except the old master.

Seeing Su Ran’s arrival, Su Xinyan quickly stood up from Wen Peipei’s side, greeting Su Ran with a well-behaved and sensible demeanor–the picture of a good little sister.

“Sister, you’re back!”

However, the expression on her face told a different story, one of hypocrisy.

Since her back was to everyone else, Su Hongde and the others naturally couldn’t see her mocking and triumphant expression.

Su Ran paid her no mind, simply taking a seat on the sofa.

Tan Lirong sat beside Su Hongde, looking at Su Ran with a face full of hate and disgust.

Still, thinking about how after today, the Su Family would belong to her and her daughter, her gaze turned arrogant and pitiful.

What of being the legitimate wife?

What of coming into the Su Family first?

They still failed to gain the mother-in-law’s affection and the husband’s love.

Her daughter, of the Yaosang Qianyue lineage, with what could they compete with her daughter?

All her efforts and sacrifices, in the end, were for nothing, just benefiting them.

The thought of emerging as the victor had Tan Lirong overcome with excitement and agitation.

“Let’s get to the point, I’m very busy.”

Everyone was already accustomed to Su Ran’s demeanor.

They also knew that now was not the time for settling scores. The most important goal today was to get the shares she held.

Thus, Wen Peipei responded with a cold voice:

“Have you brought the shares?”

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, calmly countering.

“Are my mother’s things and the check ready?”

The mention of the check made everyone’s face turn sour.

Eight hundred million!

That was eight hundred million!

Money that those poor people couldn’t earn in several lifetimes!

Now, it was going to fall into Su Ran’s hands for nothing.

The thought was too much for many of them to bear.

Su Xinyan felt the sting but managed not to show it on her face.

It didn’t matter.

By the time the award ceremony was over, everything paid now would come back tenfold, no, a hundredfold.

Eight billion was but a drop in the ocean to the Su Family at that time.

Wen Peipei also felt a pang in her heart, secretly gritted her teeth, and pushed the prepared cheque across to Su Ran.

Su Ran glanced down at it, then lifted her gaze, taking in everyone’s pained expressions before slowly reaching out to take the cheque.

It was indeed eight billion!

This time they were quite generous.

She raised an eyebrow, confirmed it, and put the cheque away.

Wen Peipei watched her intently, taking note of all her actions.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no follow-up from Su Ran.

Her brows slightly furrowed, and her voice took on a dark tone,

“I’ve given you the cheque, now where are the shares?”

Upon hearing this, Su Ran slightly curved her lips, looking at her indifferently.

“You’ve given me the cheque, along with the things my mother left behind.”

Wen Peipei’s expression immediately darkened, and she said coldly,

“Do you really think we would covet those little trinkets? Give me the shares first.”

Su Ran let out a cold laugh and stood up from the sofa.

“It seems, there’s no need to continue this conversation.”

Having said that, she turned to leave.

“Sister!”

“Su Ran!”

Su Xinyan and Tan Lirong quickly called out, seeing her response.

She had already put the cheque in her bag and claimed there was no need for further discussion.

Did she intend to get something for nothing?

Ignoring them, Su Ran continued to walk away.

Wen Peipei, seeing her impervious demeanor, spoke with an ugly expression on her face,

“Stop!”

A hint of amusement flashed through Su Ran’s eyes as she slightly turned.

“Is there something else?”

Wen Peipei took a deep breath, her face gloomy as she gave Su Hongde a look.

Seeing how much Su Ran cared about the things left by Yaosang Qianyue, Wen Peipei originally wanted to use it to pressure her.

But it turned out that since she entered the room, the ones who became passive were them instead.

Su Hongde’s face was equally grim as he took out a box from behind the sofa with a stern face and pushed it over without a word.

Seeing the familiar rosewood box, Su Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She took a deep breath, pulled out an inventory list from her bag, and then gently touched the box before opening it.

Indeed, inside were several old-fashioned but valuable pieces of jewelry.

These pieces, originally kept in a jewelry box, were now carelessly tossed inside this box.

A cold light flashed in Su Ran’s eyes, her icy gaze sweeping indifferently over Su Hongde’s face.

The seemingly casual look was enough to make Su Hongde feel a rigid chill throughout his body.

She checked the items in the box one by one against the list.

Tan Lirong, seeing this, snorted coldly,

“It’s just some worthless jewelry, yet you treasure it like it’s something precious.”

Wen Peipei, hearing this, immediately wrinkled her nose in disgust,

“What? Do you really believe the Su Family would covet these trinkles of yours?”

Su Ran swept her with a cold glance, “Others have seen your shameless faces; no need to pretend you’re above it all.”

“You…”

Ignoring her, Su Ran continued to check the items on the list, but as the count ended, her exquisite, cold face suddenly turned frosty.

With a “snap,”

She closed the box, startling everyone in the living room slightly.

Wen Peipei frowned, “Have you finished checking everything? If there’s no problem, hand over the shares.”
