Chapter 13 is missing one point; you can climb into An Haocang's bed yourselves.
Su Zhenting slammed his fist on the table: "Who do you think you are?!"
"Su Ruan, recognize your place. Without the Su family, you are nothing."
Cen Xue was so angry that her fingers trembled.
"Su Ruan, listen to what you're saying!"
"You're asking for five million right off the bat? Your whole family has worried sick about you, and all you've got to do is ask for an exorbitant amount?"
"One cannot be too selfish, only thinking about one's own pleasure; one must also consider others!"
Su Ruan looked as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, her almond-shaped eyes curving into crescents.
Why should we consider others?
"Over the years, I haven't seen many people consider my feelings."
She spread out her palms, her fingertips white and glistening, like a debt-collecting ancestor.
"Five million, to be credited to your account immediately."
"If you lose even a fraction of that, you'll have to climb into An Haocang's bed yourselves."
"You bastard!"
Su Zhenting was so angry that he trembled all over and grabbed the purple clay teapot next to him, ready to smash it.
"Dad, give it to her."
Su Shiwan sternly stopped her, glancing at the stubborn Su Ruan.
She took a deep breath, her voice regaining its usual calm and composure.
"Consider it an advance payment of her dowry."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Ruan.
"Five million. I'll buy you the sense to behave and do what you're supposed to do."
Su Ruan smiled and stood up with satisfaction.
Thanks.
After saying that, she turned and left, her back straight.
Su Shiwan got up, poured two cups of ginseng tea, and handed them over.
"Dad, Mom, calm down."
"Five million to buy Anjia's five-hundred-million-dollar order, relieving the group's urgent crisis."
"value."
Su Zhenting snorted heavily, downed the ginseng tea, and his chest heaved.
"From this day forward, the Su family shall pretend that this wretched child was never born!"
Cen Xue stroked Wen Wanwan's hand, as if she had found solace.
"Wanwan is so considerate, unlike that ungrateful wretch!"
...
As Su Ruan stepped out of the Su residence, a cool night breeze swept over her.
She looked up at the inky black sky; there were no stars.
The phone vibrated in my palm, and the words "Lin Xuqiu" appeared on the screen.
Su Ruan swiped to answer the call.
"Mrs. Lin."
"Ms. Su, it's been a week, what's the progress?"
Lin Xuqiu's voice came through the radio waves, still clear and melodious.
"I paved the way for you to get into Qingyan, not to watch you play out a workplace inspirational drama."
"There will be a cocktail party at Songjian Villa tomorrow night at seven o'clock. Yan Tingnan will be there."
"I'll have someone deliver the invitation to you; I want to see some ripples in the water."
Lin Xuqiu wanted Shuihua, but the Su family wanted her to sell herself.
What a coincidence!
She was worried about where to put An Haocang.
Killing two birds with one stone saves her from having to make two trips.
"Don't worry, Madam." Su Ruan suddenly smiled.
"I'll put on a good show for you tomorrow night."
After hanging up the phone, Su Ruan edited a message and sent it to Su Shiwan.
[Tomorrow night at 7 PM, at Lanting Pavilion in Songjian Villa]
Isn't An Haocang the Su family's lifeline?
Let this straw become the noose that strangles them.
...
The next day, in the outskirts of Beijing.
The Pine-lined Villa is hidden in the twilight of Qishan Mountain, with lights like stars dotting the forest.
Su Ruan parked her car in a temporary parking space near the entrance early in the morning, and lightly tapped the steering wheel with her fingertips.
In the rearview mirror, an arrogant license plate number burst into view.
The black phantom screeched over the speed bumps and drove into the underground parking garage entrance.
Su Ruan curled her lips into a smile, started the car, and followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
The Phantom parked in its designated spot, and she stopped right behind it, then turned off the engine and got out.
At the same time, the driver respectfully opened the rear door of the Phantom.
Yan Tingnan strode out, broad-shouldered and long-legged, still with that aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
He had just stood still when Huo Siyue, with her hair in a bun, jumped out of the other car door.
Huo Siyue looked up, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she waved to Su Ruan with delight.
"Su Ruan?! What are you doing here?"
"Siyue?"
Su Ruan was slightly taken aback.
She didn't expect Huo Siyue to arrive in the same car as Yan Tingnan.
That's fine, it saves her the trouble of finding a ladder.
This ready-made assist came at just the right time.
"President Yan is here too?"
Su Ruan's gaze swept past Huo Siyue and landed on Yan Tingnan, her tone natural.
His face was expressionless, he only nodded slightly as a greeting, and his aloof and noble air remained unchanged.
Huo Siyue turned around following her gaze and suddenly realized something.
"Ah! Sister, don't misunderstand, actually Mr. Yan is my cousin!"
She waved her hand hastily and rushed to Su Ruan's side.
“My mother is his aunt, and I’m just a relative who’s here at Qingyan to make a living.”
Huo Siyue spoke softer and softer, afraid of ruining the CP she had just started shipping.
Yan Tingnan frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over Huo Siyue as if he were looking at a good-for-nothing fool.
"So that's how it is."
Su Ruan opened her almond-shaped eyes slightly, feigning surprise.
His gaze darted back and forth between Huo Siyue and Yan Tingnan before he nodded knowingly.
"No wonder you were able to slack off so well right under President Yan's nose."
Huo Siyue chuckled and quickly changed the subject.
So you're here?
"Blind date."
Su Ruan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the man standing quietly a few steps away to hear clearly.
A blind date?!
Huo Siyue almost cracked her voice and suddenly turned to look at Yan Tingnan.
Su Ruan replied casually, "Yes, it's a task assigned by my family. I'm here to report back."
"With whom?" Huo Siyue asked urgently.
"General Manager An of Jingsheng."
"An Haocang?"
Yan Tingnan suddenly spoke, and the fingers that were playing with the sandalwood beads paused for a moment.
Su Ruan looked up and met Yan Tingnan's calm and deep eyes.
"Mr. Yan knows him?"
"I've heard of it."
His answer was concise, his voice steady and even, without any hint of emotion.
Huo Siyue, on the contrary, gasped when she heard the name.
"That old pervert is forty! Sister, are you crazy?"
Su Ruan sighed helplessly.
"It's arranged by the family, so we have to go through the motions."
Huo Siyue was eager to say something more, but Yan Tingnan interrupted her calmly.
"Siyue".
Yan Tingnan lifted his eyelids, his gaze locking onto Su Ruan's almond-shaped eyes, which were shimmering with moisture.
“Miss Su is an adult and knows what she is doing.”
Su Ruan met his gaze and returned a polite smile.
"President Yan, Siyue, you two go ahead with your work, I'll go and handle this."
Yan Tingnan, twirling the sandalwood beads, simply nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Have fun.
Su Ruan curved her lips into a smile, sweet yet distant.
"I appreciate your kind words, Yan Zong."
She winked at Huo Siyue again.
"We'll talk later."
Watching Su Ruan walk away, Huo Siyue stomped her feet anxiously.
"It's over, it's over, Su Ruan is going into the wolf's den."
"Brother, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Yan Tingnan's fingertips rubbed against the sandalwood beads, his gaze falling on Su Ruan's slender back.
She wore a white dress that cinched her waist, and her long, slightly curled hair fell loosely.
The sheer fabric, partially obscuring the view, resembles a layer of mist, both revealing and concealing, clean yet alluring.
Suddenly, a sneer escaped his throat.
When have you ever seen a cat being bullied by a mouse?
Huo Siyue turned to look at Yan Tingnan.
"No, bro, who in the industry doesn't know how dirty An Haocang's methods are?"
"She's just a young girl, being forced to go by her family, isn't that..."
“She can handle it,” Yan Tingnan interrupted her.
Last night, she was so sharp-tongued that she left Yan Yunye speechless.
How could you not handle an old pervert?
