“Miss Su, if I remember correctly, your father hates me. He thinks I killed your sister. Did you get his permission to say what you said here today? Do you have that much influence in the Su Group?” Xu Tingchuan asked slowly, taking a sip of his coffee after she finished speaking.
"My dad is my dad, and I am me. He hates you, I..." Su Yan was so excited to be able to talk to Xu Tingchuan on equal terms that she almost let slip what she was saying. She quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "What I mean is that my dad misunderstood you. I don't think that way. What happened to my sister was purely an accident. Nobody knew the plane would crash into the sea."
"So, Miss Su is now trying to take advantage of your father's illness to invest in M&K?" Xu Tingchuan raised an eyebrow slightly and scoffed, "Wouldn't that be a bit unfilial?"
"That's not how it is." Su Yan clenched her fist, calming her agitated emotions, and delivered the lines she had prepared beforehand: "The Xu and Su families have always been on good terms. Over the years, misunderstandings have caused a long rift between us, but I think there will always be a day when we can reconcile. I know that if my sister were alive, she would definitely do the same thing I am doing now. I am currently acting as the chairperson of the Su Group. If my sister were alive, this position should belong to her, so I want to do something for her."
Xu Tingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Su Yan's acting skills were so good that she could win an Oscar. She made it sound like she loved her sister so much.
He couldn't help but chuckle: "Miss Su's sisterly affection is truly touching. Your longing for your sister is written all over your face. After all, not many people would get plastic surgery to look like their deceased sister."
Su Yan keenly sensed Xu Tingchuan's unfriendly attitude towards her. After thinking it over, she felt that she had already offered very good terms, so why was he acting this way?
“Miss Su, if you’re here just to discuss investment, then I suppose that’s unnecessary. The rumors circulating outside are unreliable, and M&K’s funding is perfectly fine.” Xu Tingchuan already knew her purpose for coming here, so he had no interest in wasting any more words with her. He put the phone on speakerphone and said, “Assistant Xu, come in and see President Su out.”
Su Yan originally wanted to become a shareholder of M&K and create more opportunities to meet, but her wishful thinking did not work out, and she became a little anxious: "Brother Tingchuan, if you think there is a problem with the conditions, we can discuss it again."
Xu Tingchuan frowned, not liking that the title came from her mouth. Ni Sitian would sometimes call him "Brother Tingchuan" or "brother" in a coquettish way, which was not something other women could call her.
"Miss Su, we're not close, and your sister passed away many years ago. Please don't address me like that anymore," he said bluntly. He seemed to have sensed Su Yan's true intentions. Could her liking Shen Muzhi be a pretense, and she really wanted to get close to him?
Su Yan never expected Xu Tingchuan to be so ruthless; his words felt like a slap in the face.
"Then I apologize for disturbing you, Mr. Xu." Her face was burning, and she bit her lip, looking quite aggrieved.
Although she said that, she didn't leave immediately. Xu Tingchuan could tell that she was putting on an act to gain sympathy, but he didn't feel sorry for her at all. She was not even a fraction as pitiful as Ni Sitian when she blinked her innocent eyes and looked at him.
