Su Jinru grabbed her hand tightly and shook her head desperately to explain, "I really didn't. Your grandmother handed the Peishan Hotel to me. I know how important it is to her. How could I give it to your father?"
Xia Yue patted her back and told her not to get excited: "Mom, we all believe you. Think about it carefully. Have you signed any documents like the agreement?"
Su Jinru subconsciously wanted to say no, but when the words came to her lips, something suddenly flashed through her mind. She trembled, her eyes widened, and she shook her head in disbelief: "It shouldn't be, it can't be..."
"Did you remember something?" Xia Xi stared at her face.
Su Jinru looked at her eldest daughter, then at her second daughter, and stamped her feet anxiously: "No, no." She was unwilling to admit that she had been deceived by her husband and just wanted to overturn her own guess.
Xia Xi closed her eyes, then opened them again, and tried to persuade Su Jinru to wake up: "Mom, don't you understand yet? Dad only cares about himself and never thinks about us. He left a lot of mess behind and hid away, ignoring Grandma's advanced age, Xuanxuan's heart disease, and he never thought about how helpless you are in this situation."
Su Jinru finally spoke out tremblingly: "On New Year's Eve, your father gave me a document, saying it was for insurance and needed my signature. I was very sleepy at the time and signed it without paying attention to the content."
Xia Xi supported herself on her knees and slowly stood up. That should be the agreement to transfer the hotel.

Why is Xia Chenggang always absent-minded? Why does he get angry when she stops her mother from drinking? Why does he panic and act furtively when he answers a phone call, avoiding everyone and walking so far away, and his face looks even worse when he comes back...
It’s a pity that we didn’t investigate further at that time, and it’s too late to judge now.
"It's my fault." Su Jinru grabbed her own neck, her face turning crimson. She felt difficulty breathing and her back hunched. "It's all my fault. I lost the restaurant. I hurt your grandmother."
"Mom, don't say that. It was Dad who did something wrong." Xia Yue felt so distressed when she saw her like this that she burst into tears.
Xia Xi's fingers were cold, and the chill instantly invaded her whole body. She had the worst guess. Xia Chenggang had set his sights on the restaurant, so how much property was left in the family?
You know, the hotel isn't that easy to get, otherwise Xia Chenggang wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to set up a trap while Su Jinru was half-conscious. Isn't the deposit easier to get than the hotel? It's their joint property, and he has control over it.
