The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 658 - Chapter 658 0648 Everyone is here now

Chapter 658: 0648 Everyone is here now Chapter 658: 0648 Everyone is here now Hearing Su Xinyan’s voice, Wen Peipei’s eyes flickered, and her muddled mind gradually cleared, her unfocused eyes beginning to sharpen.

But the once astute and capable eyes now seemed to have aged a decade, and in an instant, they lost their spark.

Seeing that Wen Peipei remained silent, Su Xinyan grew uneasy.

She suppressed the panic at the bottom of her heart, helped Wen Peipei rise from the sickbed, and adjusted her position to lean against the headboard.

“Grandma, are you okay?”

As Wen Peipei still didn’t speak, Su Xinyan asked with renewed worry.

Her voice seemed to agitate Wen Peipei, whose breathing became rapid, her face deathly pale, and her forehead began to sweat profusely.

One hand covered her chest, her face etched with an expression of pain.

“Grandma…”

The color drained from Su Xinyan’s face, and she was shocked, just about to step forward–

“Bang–”

“Ah–”

Without a glance, Wen Peipei grabbed something from the nightstand and flung it at Su Xinyan with all her might.

The movement was too quick, too forceful!

A brittle crash followed by Su Xinyan’s scream pierced the air simultaneously.

Su Xinyan, clutching her arm, fell to the ground, looking at Wen Peipei in disbelief.

“Grandma?”

Wen Peipei covered her chest in pain, her eyes red as she glared at her.

“Don’t call me, you jinx!”

Su Xinyan’s face turned pale as she filled with sheer panic.

“Grandma, what’s wrong? I…”

“Did you not hear me tell you to stop calling me? You’re the root of all our problems, do you wish to harm the Su Family even more, you… you get out of the Su Family!”

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyan’s eyes widened to their limits, panic overwhelming her.

She had never seen Wen Peipei like this; no matter what she had done before, Wen Peipei had never treated her with such an attitude, but now…

All at once, the words Su Ran had once said to her came flooding back.

“What do you think the old lady will do to you when she realizes you are of no use to the Su Family anymore? Tell me, do you think your fate will be even worse than mine?”

Su Xinyan’s eyes widened in horror. Could it be that Grandma realized she was no longer of use to the Su Family, so she decided to abandon her?

No!

This won’t do!

It can’t be like this!

She had given so much to the Su Family; how could they abandon her at a time like this?

Quickly, Su Xinyan threw herself at the side of Wen Peipei’s bed, tears falling uncontrollably.

“No, I won’t leave, I won’t leave the Su Family. Grandma, kicking me out at a time like this, where would you have me go? The Su Family is my home!”

Su Xinyan’s voice was choked with sobs, and she looked utterly pitiful.

Wen Peipei sat on the sickbed, exhausted, and closed her eyes wearily.

After all, it was her granddaughter she had doted on for over a decade; seeing her like this did prick her conscience slightly!

Yet, what she felt even more, was resentment!

Yes, resentment!

She had pinned all her hopes on Su Xinyan!

Five years ago, with her design, she helped the Su Family weather the storm, stabilizing the situation, and became the Lucky Star that revived the family from the brink.

Five years later, she held the same expectations for her!

She hoped that Su Xinyan would win the competition in one fell swoop and lead the Su Family to new heights once again!

She thought that after this award ceremony, she would achieve all her aspirations!

Instead, it ended in disaster–a calamity the Su Family could not afford!

The work was designed by Su Ran, the reputation of “Heart” was made by Su Ran, and even the prosperity of the past five years was thanks to Su Ran.

And Su Ran, the one who gave the Su Family everything, was driven out of the family by Su Xinyan’s disdain!

She devoted her entire heart to her, satisfying her every desire.

Everything that belonged to Su Ran–her room, her clothes, her toys, even her fiance, and all that Su Ran loved!

She snatched them all away and gave them to her!

After doing so much, how could she be willing to accept this?

It was all Su Ran, always Su Ran!

Why did she have to exist?

If it weren’t for her, none of this would have happened!

Xinyan would still be Heart, the Su Family would still be the Su Family, and nothing would have changed!

It was all because of Su Ran!

Facing an unprecedented crisis, Wen Peipei had no desire to stay abroad any longer.

After Su Xinyan had completed her discharge procedures, the two of them bought the earliest flight back to the country.

However, the situation at home was no better than abroad, and perhaps even worse.

Being recognized in the past used to fill Su Xinyan with immense pride.

But now, being recognized foretold a very bleak outcome for her.

No sooner had they left the airport than they were surrounded by reporters, netizens, passersby, and rubberneckers.

“Bitch, you still have the face to come back!”

“Plagiarist dog, thief, go die!”

“I can’t believe I was a fan of yours before, always standing by your side no matter what, only to find out I was deceived by a fake! You betrayed my feelings, I’ll kill you!”

“Always looking so weak and aggrieved, acting as though you were deep and loyal, yet you turned out to be a hypocritical slut! How dare you go out and swindle people! How dare you deceive us! How dare you play the victim! Go die!!”

The unbearable cursing came from all directions, and as the crowd yelled, they weren’t idly standing by.

Whatever they had in their hands, they furiously threw at Su Xinyan.

The scene quickly spiraled out of control, and Su Xinyan felt weak all over, chilled to the bone by the sight of the people who seemed eager to tear her apart.

She and Wen Peipei were squeezed so tightly they couldn’t move, and in the end, they only managed to escape because their presence disrupted public order, and they were led out by the airport security.

After getting into the car, both women were in disarray, and Wen Peipei’s old face was so dark it could drip water.

While Su Xinyan bit her lip tightly, shaking all over, her emotions on the verge of collapse!

Su Ran sat in her office, watching the news on TV with a slight raise of her eyebrows.

Su Xinyan and Wen Peipei have returned?

Now that everyone was gathered, it was time to take care of business!

She turned off the TV, her gaze casually drifting to the computer on her desk.

On the computer screen was the stock market trend for Chongguang!

The stock price of Chongguang was plummeting at a visibly fast rate.

Su Ran leaned back in her chair, calmly watching the computer screen, expressionless.

By local time, thirty-eight hours had passed since the award ceremony ended, and the Gu Family had yet to make a move.

But what could their actions change?

Chongguang was doomed to end in defeat, irreversible!

Su Ran tugged at her lips, a cruel curve playing at the corners, when at that moment, someone knocked on the office door.

“Come in!”

She answered indifferently, her eyes still fixed on the computer screen without lifting her head.

“Xiao Ran.”

As the office door opened, a joyful and excited voice came through in an instant.

Su Ran looked up to see Ye Zhichen looking at her, excited and thrilled, which deeply touched her and she softened her previously indifferent expression, smiling warmly at him.

“Why are you here at this time?”

Ye Zhichen’s smile almost touched the sky as he rushed towards Su Ran.

“The award ceremony was a huge success, naturally I came to celebrate with you!”

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, “Celebrate?”
