Chapter 12 A Sense of Fate! He Loves It!
"Sisters! Over here!"
Huo Siyue waved her chopsticks behind the boiling nine-square griddle, her face flushed from the steam.
Tripe, beef aorta, and duck intestines piled up on the table, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Su Ruan had barely sat down, and before the oil dish was even mixed, the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) had already come at her.
"Su Daji, confess honestly! Did you cast a spell on President Yan?"
Huo Siyue lowered her voice, her eyes shining brightly.
"Have you and President Yan been secretly having an affair for a while now, and it's already official?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Su Ruan picked up a slice of tripe and dipped it into the spicy broth.
"I'd like to give him some kind of obedience potion, so he'll do whatever I tell him to do, and give him a raise whenever I ask. How great would that be?"
Huo Siyue pouted and said, "You're kidding me. When has President Yan, that aloof and unattainable type, ever given any special treatment to his employees?"
Amidst the rising steam, Su Ruan slowly scooped up the tripe and dipped it in minced garlic and sesame oil.
"Do capitalists add feed to donkeys because they've fallen in love with them?"
"You're being stubborn, aren't you?"
"Proposals approved instantly, exclusive late-night snacks, exceptional guidance..."
Huo Siyue counted the items one by one on her fingers.
"He even scolded your son in public today! That protectiveness he showed... tsk!"
"Who has ever seen him publicly scold his son for a newcomer? The whole company was stunned!"
What's this called?
"A sense of destiny! He loves it!"
Huo Siyue cupped her face in her hands and stomped her feet excitedly.
"Most importantly, you two look like a perfect match!"
"If I don't ship this, my shipping brain is about to explode!"
Hearing this, Su Ruan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Sister, wake up! Addicting to everything will only harm you."
She took a sip of mint tea.
"He liked to teach others, and I was eager to learn; we had a purely superior-subordinate relationship."
Of course she knew about Yan Tingnan's unusual behavior.
From salary increases to late-night snacks, from being supported in meetings to being alone in the elevator.
This man appears aloof and ascetic on the surface, but deep down he's a hunter with an extremely strong desire for control, clearly trying to hook her.
"You disagree? Then let's make a bet!"
Huo Siyue suddenly leaned closer, her voice trembling with excitement as she lowered her voice.
"You two will definitely end up in bed together within three months!"
"If you win, I'll treat you to afternoon tea for three years."
At this point, Huo Siyue paused, then chuckled.
"I won! You draw me some risqué fan comics, so I can have my fill of it!"
Su Ruan almost choked on the mint tea she had just tasted.
Good heavens, this bet is like a pillow being handed to someone who's about to fall asleep!
Divine soldiers descended from the heavens!
Why not take advantage of this readily available assistance?
"Sure."
Su Ruan put down her cup, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and answered crisply and decisively.
"I took the gamble."
"It's a deal!"
Huo Siyue rubbed her hands together excitedly.
"Remember! It has to be office play, it has to be erotic, I'm waiting for the manuscript!"
Su Ruan gave an OK sign: "No problem."
For the first time in my life, I felt that being destined to lose might not be so bad?
The cell phone rang abruptly.
The words "Mother Su" on the screen were glaringly obvious.
Su Ruan paused in wiping her hands, then answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"I need to talk to you when I get back tonight."
Su's mother's voice was cold and distant.
Su Ruan was slightly taken aback, and sneered inwardly.
Someone rushed off to file a complaint with the emperor.
The family has gathered all the opera singers, so they're asking her to go back and set up the stage.
Perfect, I can go back and collect some compensation for emotional distress.
"knew."
She had barely agreed when the phone was abruptly hung up.
...
The side hall of the Su residence was brightly lit.
When Su Ruan entered, the side hall resembled a joint trial.
Wen Wanwan was holding a bone china vase, helping Su's mother arrange flowers.
At the head of the sofa, Su Zhenting, the father, sat with a somber face, cigar smoke curling between his fingers.
The older sister, Su Shiwan, leaned back in the single sofa, scrolling on her tablet, too lazy to even lift her eyelids.
"Kneel down."
Su Mu Cenxue cut off a rose stem, and her words were like a thunderclap.
Su Ruan walked straight to the empty sofa, sat down calmly, and smiled slightly.
"Mom, the Qing Dynasty is long gone, why don't you kowtow to me first?"
"you!"
Cen Xue choked so hard her face turned pale, and she paused in pruning the flower branches.
Is this girl on some kind of high-energy drug today?
Su Zhenting flicked off the cigarette ash, his imposing presence heavy.
"You've gone too far!"
Su Shiwan then raised her eyes and glanced at Su Ruan, a teasing smile playing on her lips.
"I heard your sister had a wild time in Nebula on her birthday night? And Yan Yunye caught her in the act?"
Su Ruan crossed her legs and raised her almond-shaped eyes slightly.
"You're quite well-informed."
It seems Wen Wanwan has been whispering in her ear quite a bit.
"Yes, I cheated on Yan Yunye. Did you call me back to hear the details?"
These words were like a spark falling into an oil drum.
Cen Xue was so angry that her chest heaved, and she slammed the silver pruning shears onto the tray.
"How could I have given birth to such a shameless daughter!"
"The circle is only so big. If word gets out about the shameful things you've done, where will the Su family put their face?"
Su Zhenting slammed his cigar into the ashtray, sparks flying everywhere.
"If you can't climb up to Yan Yunye, it's because you're incompetent; if you willingly degenerate, it's because you're stupid!"
"Now look what's happened, the path to getting on the Yan family's good side has been completely blocked!"
Su Ruan gave a cold laugh.
"A girl's chastity is not found beneath her skirts, but in her pride."
"I, Su Ruan, have done nothing wrong and have nothing to do with your judgment based on morality and shame!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Wen Wanwan suddenly spoke softly.
"Ruanruan was probably just drunk that night and confused for a moment."
"It's all my fault, I didn't hold her back..."
She turned to Su Ruan, looking earnest and persuasive.
"Ruanruan, you should apologize to your parents. They are just worried about you and afraid that you will go astray."
"Shut up."
Su Ruan glanced at them coldly.
"The smell of tea is overwhelming."
Su Zhenting's temples bulged with veins: "I should never have acknowledged you!"
"You're utterly filthy compared to Wanwan!"
These words were like a needle, pricking Su Ruan's throat and making her throat tight.
Her face remained calm, but the tips of her fingers on the sofa armrests curled up quietly.
Wen Wanwan suddenly choked up, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's all my fault. If only I hadn't been switched at birth..."
Su's parents were most susceptible to her charm.
As expected, Cen Xue immediately hugged her with heartache.
"Wanwan, don't say that."
She turned her head and said sternly, "Su Ruan! Watch your manners!"
Seeing the heart-wrenching scene of the mother and daughter's deep affection, Su Ruan felt a surge of bitterness that she had been forcibly suppressing well up in her heart again.
Even though I knew perfectly well that the Wen and Su families were misguided, seeing them so happy together still made me feel a pang of unease.
Su Shiwan chuckled softly and put down the tablet.
"Dad, Mom, don't be angry."
"My sister can't get close to the Yan family, but An Haocang, the head of Jingsheng Industry, has been eyeing her face for a long time."
She looked Su Ruan up and down, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
"The new energy deal worth 500 million yuan that President An has is very important to our Su family."
Su Ruan raised an eyebrow.
Ah, it came ahead of schedule as expected.
In the original storyline, after Yan Yunye kicked her, Su Shiwan turned around and packed her up and sent her to An Haocang's bed.
Now that she's taken the initiative to overturn the table, has she already made this move ahead of time?
Su Ruan leaned forward slightly and asked with great interest, "So?"
"What does my sister mean?"
“A marriage alliance,” Su Shiwan said casually.
"Look at you, mediocre academic performance, and your career..."
"Heh, I heard you went to Qingyan? Did you get there because of your looks, or because of that important person from that night?"
"Instead of causing trouble outside, it's better to find a stable place to settle down and live a peaceful life. It's better for everyone."
Su Ruan rested her chin on her hand, her gaze intense, her smile detached.
"Sister, you really know how to make the most of things. The Su family would have fallen apart sooner or later without you."
Su Shiwan said without changing her expression, "You should be more sensible by now. It's your duty to share the burdens of the family."
Su Zhenting's expression softened slightly, as if he were bestowing a favor.
"Your status as Mrs. An is respectable enough."
Wen Wanwan also chimed in, "Ruanruan, listen to your older sister."
"Although President An is a bit older, he's very caring. It's better than you being involved in shady dealings outside and ruining your reputation."
Caring?
An Haocang, 40, has ruined the careers of two minor celebrities; who in Beijing's entertainment circle doesn't know that?
Looking at the room full of all sorts of strange and bizarre people singing in unison, Su Ruan suddenly found it absurd and laughable.
She slowly stood up and held up five fingers.
"Five million to buy me from being sensible just once."
"Cash transfer, payment in advance, goods in advance."
"You think you can get me to build a relationship for free? Dream on."
