Anru hung up the phone and almost collapsed onto her desk. She braced herself with her hands on the table, muttering in terror, "Grandpa knows, what should I do?"
In his panic and confusion, his hatred for Qin Suisui reached its peak.
"Qin Suisui!"
She clenched her fists and pounded the table, cursing through gritted teeth, "Why don't you just die! Why don't you just die!"
Thinking of her mother's cold tone on the phone, her eyes reddened. This was the first time she had ever felt her mother's extremely indifferent attitude.
Anru felt increasingly aggrieved. Her first thought was to complain to her senior brother, but then she realized that was impossible.
The root of the problem was Qin Suisui. She stuffed her fingers under her lips and bit her fingernails hard. If her senior brother found out what she had done to Qin Suisui, the consequences would be unimaginable. She couldn't bear the disappointment in her senior brother's eyes.
Her grandfather's assistant told her to go back to the old house that night, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. What should she do? Her mother didn't care about her anymore, so who else could help her? As time passed, her heart raced and she became so flustered that she could hardly breathe.
The phone on the table suddenly rang. Looking at the number displayed on the screen, Anru's heart grew colder and colder. It was her father.
"…………"
Qin Suisui was unaware that her scheme not only succeeded, but also caused An Ru to suffer a great loss.
That evening, the patriarch of the An family publicly announced the cancellation of Anru's five-year dividend payout and threatened that if it happened again, the family would not intervene on her behalf, and would strip her of her status as heir and kick her out of the house.
Anru returned from the old house in a daze. Looking up in the direction of her home, all she saw was darkness, and she felt a sense of relief.
This duplex apartment was purchased by my senior two years ago with his own savings. It is located in the most prosperous commercial area of Huating and cost more than 20 million yuan. The down payment alone emptied all of my senior's savings.
To avoid embarrassing her senior, she moved here from her small villa after getting married.
Although the space wasn't large, she was always happy with it, especially when she came back from going out and saw the lights on upstairs, she was filled with tenderness and joy.
This time was different, though. She was afraid to see the light reflected on the window, and afraid to face her senior brother's disappointed eyes.
Anru opened the door, feeling utterly exhausted.
"Smack!"
She had just changed her shoes when the living room lights suddenly turned on. Her chest tightened, and her senior brother's extremely cold voice came from the living room.
"I'm back!"
"Senior brother!"
Her hand holding the bag trembled slightly as she walked into the living room and gave her senior a timid smile.
The bright lights blinded her, making it impossible to see the emotions in her senior's eyes.
"Senior brother, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me?"
"sit!"
Yu Chengjue raised his chin slightly, expressionless, gesturing for Anru to sit down.
Around dusk, he learned from other people about Anru's actions against Qin Suisui and the outcome.
He was seething with anger and canceled all his social engagements, waiting at home early in the morning.
Seeing her senior brother's solemn expression, Anru's heart sank. Even so, she still held onto a sliver of hope.
"Senior brother, what's wrong? Why do you look like that?"
She cautiously gazed at the man's refined and indifferent features. Even after several years of marriage, she still felt she hadn't seen enough of him.
"Tell me, what have you been up to lately?"
Yu Chengjue felt an unspeakable resentment in his heart. He couldn't understand how Anru could be so calm and fearless.
He closed his eyes and then opened them again, his gaze towards Anru filled with disappointment and unreadable emotions.
"I hope you don't hide anything from me."
Anru lowered her head, and after a long while, she looked up and said, "You know everything?"
Yu Chengjue: "What do you know? Do you know that you sent people to try to ruin Sui Sui with sulfuric acid, or that you got what you deserved?"
"Senior brother!"
Anru stared at the man opposite her in disbelief.
"Oh!"
Yu Chengjue coldly watched An Ru's unrepentant appearance.
"I just want to ask you, why are you so stubborn? She's been far removed from my life for five years, why can't you let her go?"
His questioning expression was filled with shame and indignation, and his voice rose.
Upon learning the news, Yu Chengjue even considered disregarding his status to go to Luo Dun Law Firm to find Sui Sui and see if she was injured. However, he knew that if he did so, he would not only ruin himself but also Sui Sui.
The An family will definitely not let them off the hook.
Given the size of the An family, if they wanted to use their family influence to suppress Sui Sui, even the directors behind the Luo Dun Law Firm would have to avoid their sharp edge.
Seeing Anru's bewildered expression, he softened his tone.
"Tell me, why?"
"What did Sui Sui do wrong that makes you so persistent and aggressive?"
"Senior brother!"
The senior brother who had just angered her seemed like a stranger, leaving Anru at a loss for what to do. But seeing him return to normal, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Anru knew that her senior brother must already know what she had done, so she decided not to hide it anymore.
"I just hate her, I hate that she's in Huating."
She looked at Yu Chengjue intently.
"Senior brother, why don't you go and warn her to leave Huating? As long as Qin Suisui leaves Huating, I swear I will never continue to target her."
Seeing Anru's still self-righteous attitude, he felt a pang of sadness. Compared to Sui Sui, he was far inferior.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Anru, where do you get the confidence to think that Qin Suisui would leave Huating to avoid you and me?"
Seeing that Anru was about to speak, he raised his hand and pressed her down.
How will you continue to target her?
"You've done those evil things time and time again, and she hasn't been harmed at all? On the contrary, why did you go to the old house tonight, and what punishment did Grandpa give you?"
"Sui Sui, Sui Sui, it's Sui Sui again. Senior brother, I don't want to hear Qin Sui Sui's name from your mouth."
The disappointment in her senior brother's eyes made An Ru not only frightened but also irritable. Whenever she heard Qin Suisui's name from her senior brother, she felt a desire to destroy Qin Suisui.
Why don't you ask me how much I suffered in the old house?
Today, she received an unprecedented cold reception and humiliation at the old house.
Anru felt deeply aggrieved by her grandfather's punishment.
"You're hopeless!"
Seeing An Ru still showing no remorse, Yu Chengjue looked dejected. He slowly stood up, his expression cold.
Without even glancing at Anru, he walked around the sofa and headed upstairs.
"Senior brother!"
Anru stood up and watched her senior brother ignore her and go straight upstairs without looking back. Tears welled up in her eyes and swirled in them.
Only after Yu Chengjue closed the study door did Anru finally let her tears fall, and all the grievances she had held back all night finally burst forth, causing her to cry out in pain.
