"It's all because of you and your son! If you hadn't been so greedy and had stayed out there obediently, you wouldn't be in this state now! You've even dragged me down with you!"

Yi Ruihua lowered his head, muttering repeatedly, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault."

He Ziming was stunned. "You're blaming Mom? What do you know? Do you think Meng Jie is someone to be trifled with? Do you think her temporary concessions are genuine? If it weren't for her underhanded tactics that disqualified me from inheriting the Yi Group, why would Mom have plotted to kill her!"

Yi Ruihua coldly replied, "So what? Isn't the money I've given you enough for you to live out your lives? You're still dreaming of inheriting the Yi Group? An illegitimate child like you're thinking too much."

The last sentence deeply stung He Zimo.

"I will absolutely not let any of you go!"

He stood up angrily and left in a rage.

He Ziming was still angry no matter what he thought about after leaving the dance hall. He took out his phone, found Lin Hui's number, and dialed it.

As soon as Lin Hui answered the call, she heard furious curses.

"Lin Hui, you vicious woman! Did you tell my mother those things?! If it weren't for what you said, how could my mother have wanted to kill Meng Jie?! I will never let you get away with this! You just wait!"

After rambling on for no apparent reason, he hung up the phone without giving Lin Hui a chance to reply.

Lin Hui didn't take his words to heart at all, thinking he was just talking nonsense because he was provoked. But she never expected that He Zimo would come to her house with a knife.

Lin Hui stared blankly at the gleaming dagger in front of her.

"What are you going to do?" she asked in horror, looking at He Ziming, who had gone mad.

He Ziming's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in this state? How could my mother have been arrested?! For your own selfish desires and to achieve your goal of revenge against Yi An, you actually dared to use my mother!"

Lin Hui retreated repeatedly, until she was forced against her own wall, with nowhere left to go.

"Don't come any closer! I beg you, please let me go!"

She was so frightened that she could barely speak, and she knelt down, pleading desperately.

"Come to hell with me."

He Ziming uttered these words without any emotion, the last syllable of which was drowned out by Lin Hui's piercing scream.

On the third day after He Ziming was arrested, Che Yue approached Su Yan.

"Please, please! Just let him go!"

That was the first thing she said when she came up.

Su Yan slowly shifted her gaze to her anxious face. "You shouldn't have said that to me. You should have said it to him, to the judge who tried him, and to Lin Hui, who was stabbed but barely survived."

"No! It's all because of you!" Che Yue berated her harshly. "When you weren't back, everything was fine, nothing happened! It's all because of you! Why did you come back! Why didn't you just die abroad?!"

Su Yan was not annoyed by the vicious curse; she simply smiled.

"Che Yue, do you know what? It would be the easiest thing for me to do to you, but do you know why I don't do it?"

Che Yue pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Because I want to see you like this today. Six years ago, I told myself that no matter what happens, I should never become a bitter, resentful woman that everyone avoids. If I really want to do it, I'll make you that way."

Su Yan waved her hand, "Judging from the current situation, it seems that I have succeeded."

Looking at her smug smile, Che Yue wished she could tear her to pieces.

"Su Yan! Even if you turn me into a bitter woman, what's the use! Do you really think you can get revenge on us like this? You're so naive."

Su Yan didn't speak, just looked at her calmly, gesturing for her to continue.

Che Yue sneered twice, "Zi Mo is the son of the Yi family. Whether they want to admit it or not, legally, Zi Mo has the right to inherit! You wait, sooner or later, everything you have now will become ours. I look forward to that day!"

Su Yan was amused by her and wanted to say something, but she held back.

"Fine, people need dreams to live. I'm not willing to torment you like this for the rest of my life, and I can't bear to see you die so young. So just wait and see who has the last laugh."

Che Yue glared at her angrily, grabbed her bag, and rushed out.

Duan Sisi strolled over and poked Su Yan.

"If she knew that even Yi Ruihua only received one card from the Yi family's assets, she would definitely die of a heart attack."

Su Yan laughed even harder, "That's why I can't easily tell her that I'm waiting to see the day when all her hopes are shattered."

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more excited. Do you think Yi Ruihua, with her extravagant spending habits, will have a credit card left for He Ziming?"

Su Yan pretended to think about it seriously for a moment, "I don't think I'll have any cards left."

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

"Boss, I'd like to place my order!"

A customer placed an order, so Duan Sisi was called over.

Taking advantage of the break, Su Yan took out her phone and made a call to her secretary.

"Hello, have you checked on Lin Hui's condition? How is she?"

The secretary answered truthfully: "The doctor said she was very lucky; every incision avoided vital organs. With proper rest, she will recover completely."

"That's really lucky," Su Yan said emotionlessly. "Let her have one more stroke of luck."

Before the secretary could react, Su Yan had already used her laptop to send a recording to the secretary's email address.

"Go to the police station to report the child abduction case and submit this evidence to them. I believe they will handle it according to the law."

The secretary was completely terrified. The new CEO, Su, seemed even more ruthless than CEO Meng! He didn't give anyone a chance to breathe.

"Yes, I'll go right away. By the way, Ms. Su, there's a package for you at the company. Would you like me to bring it to you on my way?"

Su Yan racked her brains for a moment, but couldn't remember what she had bought and sent to the company, so she said, "Just bring it over on your way."

When the secretary brought the package over, Su Yan saw that it was a file bag from SF Express's same-city delivery service.

She opened it with a puzzled look and found a wedding invitation inside.

Su Yan frowned even more deeply, tentatively opening the app. Her pupils contracted immediately upon touching the name of the new bride.

When Duan Sisi finished her work, she turned her head and saw her looking like she had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong? It's just a package, look at you, so ignorant! Come on, let me see what kind of package it is."

Duan Sisi peeked over and was stunned.

“Su Xuan?” She read out the name from the invitation, “This isn’t yours…”

Su Yan mechanically turned her head to look at her, and absentmindedly replied, "Little sister."
