"My poor sister didn't want to be a rich girl, she just wanted to be with him."
Hearing the heartache in her second brother's voice, Li Susu felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
This is her family. Even when she lost contact with her family because of love, they still stood firmly by her side when she felt wronged.
But her ungrateful husband used her, leeched off her, and in the end, wanted to trample her underfoot.
"Oh, by the way, does he still not know your true identity?"
Li Susu gave a cold laugh.
"The wisest decision I made was that I was afraid it would hurt his pride, so I hid my identity."
I can't imagine how much more scheming he would be to bleed her dry if he knew she was the daughter of the Li family in City C.
"Brother, I'm going back to work."
After saying that, Li Susu, dressed in a shabby and old-fashioned outfit, went to the most luxurious shopping center in City C.
Under the saleswoman's disapproving gaze, she spread several pieces of clothing on the counter and simply handed over a card.
"I want them all, even if there's no password."
Salesperson: ...
After visiting several stores, Li Susu emerged from the mall looking completely different, as if she were a different person altogether.
She was naturally beautiful, but because she had been manipulated by Qin Chuan over the years, she never dressed up.
Now, dressed in a vibrant red dress and with exquisite makeup, she undoubtedly became the most eye-catching presence on the street.
The woman walked with a graceful sway, her skin appearing even more radiant and delicate under the sunlight. Her beautiful face was a work of art, so stunning that it was impossible to look away.
Li Susu has returned to being the pampered young lady of the Li family.
As she passed a coffee shop, her gaze was drawn to a man and a woman walking out of it.
The man wore a well-tailored grey bespoke suit, with a dazzling sapphire at the lapel that sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.
The most striking feature was the man's handsome face, every line of which was deeply etched.
However, his long, upturned peach blossom eyes held an exceptionally cold and indifferent expression, and his icy and noble aura made people afraid to approach him.
The woman he was helping was now crying with tears streaming down her face, her expression seemingly pleading.
Li Susu only briefly admired the man's noble aura and flawless handsome face before letting out a light scoff and sighing:
Men are all the same; what else can they do besides hurting women?
The moment the man looked over, she averted her gaze.
So no one saw the barely perceptible hint of amazement that flashed in the man's aloof and restrained gaze when he looked at her.
...
The Li Group.
Li Susu appeared at the company without any warning.
When the employees who were coming and going saw her, they all exclaimed with surprise, "Little Manager Li!"
After that, she took out her phone and frantically shouted in the group chat, undoubtedly telling the other departments in the company that Li Susu was back.
Li Susu walked on the glass floor in stilts and went up to the president's private elevator.
When she reached the top floor, her older brother, Li Chenglin, rushed out of his office in a great hurry.
"Little sister, the second brother has already told me."
Upon seeing her, Li Chenglin embraced her without a word, cherishing her as if she were a precious treasure.
"I'm sorry, big brother, I've made you suffer."
In the years since she left home, Li Susu had not felt such a warm embrace.
A warmth filled her heart, and she gently patted the man's strong back.
"Brother, it's my fault. I didn't listen to your advice and went my own way."
Li Chenglin released her, his tall and strong eyes filled with heartache.
"It's okay, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, everything can start over."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at his secretary beside him.
"Go and transfer the company's biggest project recently to Xiao Li, arrange the dinner with President Fu tonight, and also, tidy up Xiao Li's office again."
"yes."
The biggest project?
Li Susu was somewhat flattered.
"Brother, I just got back. Aren't you being a bit too biased? If the board of directors finds out, they'll tear you apart!"
Li Chenglin didn't care at all.
“My sister is capable. If they have any objections, they can handle this project.”
Li Susu raised an eyebrow; she didn't need to refute those words.
She has always been quite confident in her business management skills.
If she hadn't met Qin Chuan, she would probably be quite famous in City C by now.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Li Chenglin, Li Susu rushed back to her office to familiarize herself with the project she was to discuss that evening.
Their rival turned out to be the Fu family, the richest family in City C.
The Fu family...
She vaguely remembered that the current head of the Fu family was notoriously cold-hearted and a rare aloof beauty in the elite circles.
Tonight's negotiations are unlikely to be easy.
Li Susu carefully reviewed all the documents related to this collaboration.
Just then, my phone vibrated.
She glanced at it.
It's Qin Chuan.
Li Susu averted her gaze almost without thinking and continued flipping through the documents.
The phone vibrated for a few seconds, then started vibrating again, as if the other party was determined to keep calling as long as she didn't answer.
Li Susu frowned impatiently.
Just as I picked up my phone to put it on silent, I received a message from my second brother, Li Yulin.
The other party sent several photos.
In the photo, Qin Chuan, his mother, and his two older sisters were kicked out of the house, and their belongings were thrown all over the ground.
Although I wasn't there in person, the sense of exhilaration conveyed by this photo is just as strong.
Over the years, even the houses where the Qin family lived belonged to her. Now that I think about it, Qin Chuan really did reap all the benefits in this relationship without giving anything in return.
Fine, I'll just consider it as using five years of my life to see a person for who they truly are, and after that, this kind of illness won't recur.
