A VIP room at Tianyue International Hotel.
After looking at the photos and DNA test results in the leather bag, Qin's father's expression darkened slightly.
"Your uncle has always wanted to expand the Su family's influence."
"Back then, in order to gain benefits through a marriage alliance with the Qin and Lu families, he colluded with Lu Cheng's parents to force Lu Cheng's first love to break up with him and leave the capital."
At this point, Qin's father paused and looked at Lu Yao beside him.
"What about Mom and Dad?" Qin Wan suddenly asked, trying to divert her father's attention.
"Your mother and I are lucky. We met in college and were each other's first love, so Su Hao didn't have to waste his time scheming against us."
As he spoke, Qin's father recalled fond memories of the past, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
“When your mother was alive, I did provide Su Hao with a lot of convenience and benefits so as not to put her in a difficult position.”
"During that period, the Su family's industry developed rapidly, and it was beginning to show signs of keeping pace with the Qin family."
Even in a situation where the four major families stand in a tripartite balance, there will still be a ranking and a distinction between the strong and the weak.
The Su family is involved in the beauty industry, which has always been a weak point in China, lagging far behind foreign countries.
In order to prevent the Su family from falling behind the other three major families and to help the Su family rise to a higher level, Su Hao used the marriages of Su family women to form alliances and seek benefits for the Su family.
This applies to both Qin Wan's biological mother, Su Fei, and Su Rourou.
"After your mother passed away, the Su family and the Qin family initially had a good relationship."
"Until one time, Su Hao took you to the Su family home. I left work early that day to pick you up and unexpectedly saw you being bullied by that kid Su Ming."
“Su Hao was sitting on the sofa next to Su Ming at the time. He not only did not stop Su Ming, but even told Su Ming to be careful and not to leave any traces that would be discovered.”
"It wasn't until that moment that I realized how cold-blooded Su Hao was."
"From then on, the Qin family gradually reduced its business dealings with the Su family and stopped providing them with free services."
“Su Hao is a smart man. He quickly realized something was wrong, but he didn’t know the reason at the time. He just thought that it was because of your mother’s death that I gradually lost my ties with the Su family.”
"In order to maintain the kinship between the two families and to continue to seek benefits for the Su family, Su Hao chose a girl from the collateral branch of the Su family, who was his cousin."
"Su Hao brought her to the Qin family, claiming that since they were all members of the Su family, he would treat you like his own daughter because she was your aunt..."
"When I heard Su Hao's hypocritical words, I was so angry that I laughed."
“His own uncle doesn’t treat you like family, let alone a cousin. The Su family’s education is problematic. The Su family members have all gone astray. There are very few normal people, including Su Rourou.”
Thinking of this, Qin's father thought of Consort Su, who was a rare exception in the Su family.
Growing up in the morbid educational environment of the Su family, Su Fei was rebellious and considered an unfilial daughter by her family.
In reality, she was simply someone who dared to love and hate, and she didn't tolerate the Su family making all sorts of unreasonable demands and controlling her.
As Qin's father said these words, Qin Wan thought of Dong Rou...
Qin Luo is only two years younger than her.
From the time the original owner could remember, Dong Rou was already in the Qin family.
Meeting Qin Wan's strange gaze, perhaps due to the telepathic connection between father and daughter, Qin's father guessed what she was thinking.
"My relationship with Dong Rou was an accident."
“Your mother had passed away more than a year ago. During that time, the company was expanding into overseas markets, and I also had to take care of you, who was still young. My health deteriorated due to the busy schedule.”
"Dong Rou is my temporary assistant, to take care of you and help me with some trivial matters unrelated to work."
"Later, in an accident, I drank too much and that's how Qin Luo came to be." Qin's father was quite frank about it.
He truly had no feelings for Dong Rou.
His love was only for Consort Su from beginning to end.
But since he had a relationship with Dong Rou and was now with Qin Luo, and since Dong Rou took good care of Qin Wan, he tacitly accepted Dong Rou as his girlfriend.
Later, when Su Hao tried to seduce him, he simply made Dong Rou his official wife, thus making it legitimate and completely extinguishing Su Hao's hopes.
After hearing her father's explanation, Qin Wan had only one thought...
There are so many scandals and schemes among these wealthy families.
"Su Yue must have deliberately approached Jiang Huan." After hearing Qin's father's love history, Qin Wan got back to the main point.
"Given Su Hao's personality, this is highly likely," Qin's father nodded in agreement.
At this point, Qin Wan remembered something, "Dad, how did you get Su Hao to agree to isolate the Jiang family this time?"
Upon hearing this, Qin's father glanced at Qin Wan in surprise, a hint of admiration appearing in his eyes.
"Your reaction was quick."
"Su Hao's only goal from beginning to end has been profit. I withdrew from the Jiang family's project and offered a bigger and more attractive project as bait..."
At this point, Qin's father looked at Lu Yao, who was standing to the side.
"Because of Lu Yao, and because this project is indeed very attractive, Lu Cheng from the Lu family chose me immediately."
"With Lu Cheng's involvement and the allure of profit, it's not surprising that Su Hao chose to stand on my side."
After all, Su Rourou is still alive, and the marriage alliance between the Su family and the Lu family is still very strong.
Moreover, among the four major families, the Lu family has far surpassed the other three in recent years due to its involvement in the technology industry.
On the other hand, Su Yue is just an illegitimate daughter of the Jiang family. Although Jiang Huan is infatuated with Su Yue, she has not yet married into the Jiang family, and Jiang's parents have not yet accepted her.
Given the uncertain nature of this marriage alliance, Su Hao certainly couldn't afford to offend the Lu and Qin families, much less give up the lucrative opportunity offered by Qin's father.
"The Su family might turn against us," Qin Wan said, as if she had just realized something.
Upon hearing this, Qin's father frowned subconsciously. "With Lu Cheng around, Su Hao shouldn't do that."
“No, he will,” Qin Wan said firmly.
Almost as soon as Qin Wan finished speaking, her father's phone rang.
After seeing the caller ID, Qin's father frowned subconsciously.
"Hello? You mean the Su family is withdrawing their investment?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan softly said, "As expected."
After ending the call, Qin's father looked at Qin Wan with a grim expression, "Wanwan, how did you know Su Hao would withdraw his investment?"
Qin Wan pointed to the photos and DNA test results on the table, "What we can find, the Jiang family can find as well."
"We know that Su Hao prioritizes profit above all else; the Jiang family does the same."
"The Jiang family is being targeted. In order to turn the tide and avoid being swallowed up, the Jiang family must find allies to join forces."
“Uncle Lu is a man of his mind; once he makes a decision, he never changes it. Su Hao, however, is a good breakthrough point.”
"After learning about Su Yue's identity, the Jiang family could naturally guess Su Hao's purpose."
"Furthermore, my engagement with Jiang Huan has already been dissolved. As long as the Jiang family goes along with Su Hao's wishes and promises enough benefits, Su Hao's switch sides will be a sure thing."
At this point, Qin Wan paused, her gaze shifting to Lu Yao beside her…
