Chapter 14 Showdown

Seeing that Su Ruan was still in a daze, Jiang Siyan thought she had regretted it, so he came over and put his arm around her shoulder gently.

"Ah Ruan, don't worry. As long as you marry me, I promise I'll never touch another woman again and will only dote on you, okay?"

"Don't touch me." Su Ruan suddenly stood up, shaking off Jiang Siyan's arm as if she were shaking off a cockroach, her eyes filled with disgust and revulsion.

"I will not marry you, Jiang Siyan, give up."

"Su Ruan!"

Su Maoshi slammed his hand on the table and glared angrily at Su Ruan.

Wen Ru also stood up and grabbed Su Ruan's hand, "Xiao Ruan! Mind your manners, how can you be so rude to Young Master Jiang? Apologize quickly."

Su Ruan felt the air around her was very oppressive, and she was about to suffocate.

She clenched her fists tightly to bolster her courage, and finally looked up to face Su Maoshi and Wen Ru again, explaining her attitude word by word.

"Mom and Dad, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore. Now that I'm married, I have to be loyal to my marriage and not hurt my husband. A rich young master like Jiang Siyan, if he chooses to be unfaithful once, he will definitely be unfaithful every time in the future."

"Please forgive my daughter for being incapable of controlling such a philandering man. I urge you to be discerning and not let a wolf into your home, lest you harm your daughter."

The phrase has a double meaning, and that's all it says.

Su Ruan subtly reminded her parents to discipline their biological daughter more, then left without looking back, carrying her bag.

Jiang Siyan didn't hesitate at all and got up to chase after him.

Su Xin was so angry she was grinding her teeth, and she cursed loudly at Su Ruan's back.

"You slut, you vixen! Mom and Dad, is Brother Siyan possessed? Why is he being so nice to her?"

The Su couple ignored their daughter's complaints and instead exchanged a glance.

Wen Ru frowned, looking at Su Maoshi with confusion. "What does she mean by that?"

Su Maoshi hadn't figured out the key point either, and said with a sullen face.

"What could a little girl like her possibly mean? I think you've spoiled her rotten; she dares to disobey me like this."

"This is outrageous! From this moment on, cut off all her financial support. I want to see how long she and that gigolo can hold out."

Wen Ru was reprimanded by Su Maoshi but dared not retaliate, feeling depressed.

Su Xin then delivered a blow to her, "Dad's right. Mom! You were too soft-hearted. You should have slapped that bitch a few more times. That brat of unknown origin, letting her enjoy a few years of good fortune for me, does she really think she's a princess?"

"As soon as my birthday arrives, you'll kick her out and leave her on the streets. Let's see how arrogant she can be then."

Wenru felt a tightness in her chest from being choked by her husband and biological daughter, but she had no choice but to speak up and explain.

"Since high school, Xiao Ruan's paintings have been appreciated by many celebrities and have even been sold overseas. Even her current company has many foreign corporations collaborating with her."

Cutting off her financial support won't be so easy.

Su Maoshi paused upon hearing this, feeling as if he had been slapped repeatedly in the face.

He stood up angrily and spoke again, "I told her from the beginning not to learn painting or start a company, but you insisted that if she managed the company well, it could be left to our Xiaoxin in the future."

Now look what's happened; we can't even find a single fault. You'd better figure out how to appease the Jiang family yourself; I'm done with this."

Su Maoshi turned and went upstairs, leaving Wen Ru standing there, her heart aching with anger.

When Su Ruan first started learning painting and running a company, her husband and son tried to stop her. But later, Su Maoshi saw that she was able to open up overseas sales channels and connect with foreign conglomerates, so he tacitly approved of these two things.

How did it end up with her being blamed for everything?

At the entrance of the Su family's residence, Jiang Siyan chased after Su Ruan and stood in front of her, somewhat exasperated.

"Su Ruan, I never imagined you'd stoop so low. You don't even listen to your uncle and aunt anymore? I've been incredibly tolerant and accommodating towards you. How long are you going to keep this up?"

That's ridiculous.

Jiang Siyan still thinks she's throwing a tantrum and making a scene?

Su Ruan had given up all hope for this person, she said calmly.

"Jiang Siyan, I used to be reluctant to air my dirty laundry in public. But now that it's just the two of us, I might as well lay it all out on the table and tell you."

I already know that you and Su Xin slept together behind my back. You don't need to pretend in front of me, as if you still have feelings for me.

I don't know what got into you, sleeping with my sister while you were with me. I think you're not only morally corrupt, but you probably have some other shady secrets.

I will investigate you. If you are not truly sincere towards Su Xin, I advise you to stay away from her. No matter how bad our sisterly relationship is, I will not allow you to hurt her.

After saying all this, Su Ruan ignored Jiang Siyan's ugly expression and drove away.

Jiang Siyan's face turned pale and then red, and he was momentarily stunned and at a loss.

He didn't know when Su Ruan saw him and Su Xin together, nor did he know how much inside information Su Ruan actually knew.

However, he knew Su Ruan's personality all too well. Although she appeared obedient, gentle, and kind on the surface, she was actually strong and resilient inside, with principles and bottom lines that could not be crossed.

He harmed her family, so she will never forgive him.

“Brother Siyan, since Su Ruan already knows about our relationship, why don’t we go public with it?”

Before anyone knew it, a jade-white arm had climbed onto Jiang Siyan's arm.

He turned his head and saw Su Xin looking at him ingratiatingly, her eyes full of admiration and worship.

Are all men base?

Things that are easily obtained are never appreciated.

Su Xin is a stunningly beautiful and sexy woman, but he just can't bring himself to like her.

On the contrary, it was a pure and virtuous beauty like Su Ruan who could constantly capture his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent four years in a platonic relationship with her, yet he couldn't bear to force her or possess her.

“Su Xin, I told you, before we get Su Ruan’s shares, we can’t reveal our relationship to your parents.”

If we go public now, you won't get the shares, and I won't get your parents' approval. How can we be together in the future?

"You have to be good, listen to me, and don't make me angry, okay?"

Jiang Siyan spoke softly, raised his hand to touch Su Xin's hair, and slowly moved it down to pinch the back of her neck.

Su Xin didn't sense any danger at all. On the contrary, she thoroughly enjoyed Jiang Siyan's touch and kneading. She let out a soft moan and fell into Jiang Siyan's arms.

"Brother Siyan, my body and my heart belong to you. I will be a good girl and listen to you. Can I come to your house tonight?"

Seeing the alluring desire in Su Xin's eyes, Jiang Siyan smiled.

He certainly wouldn't refuse a delicious meal delivered to his door, and since he was already fuming, he finally had a way to vent his anger.

With a shove, he threw Su Xin hard onto the back seat of the car. As soon as the car started moving, he pounced on her.

None of them noticed that at the end of the street stood a domineering and imposing black car, clearly out of place among the surrounding private cars.

The man in the back seat of the car had a terribly gloomy face.

Everything that happened in front of the Su family's house was seen by the man without missing a single detail.
