There was an immediate uproar outside the door.
The spotlights flashed non-stop and countless microphones almost poked her in the face.
"Ms. Ning! What do you think about the Su family investing in the Fu Corporation?"
"This money was invested in your ex-husband's company. Did you know about it in advance?"
"Ms. Ning, why haven't you shown up yet?"
Ning Nanxue was forced to take a half step back by this scene, tears on her face, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Thank you all for your concern. I heard about the Su family's investment. I am very... very grateful to Miss Su and the Su family."
A female reporter asked sharply, "Why are you responding now? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ning Nanxue raised her hand to wipe away her tears and nodded: "Well, I haven't been feeling well recently and have been recuperating at home, so I couldn't come out in time."
"Where is Mr. Jiang? Why isn't he with you?" another reporter asked.
"Tingchen..." Ning Nanxue lowered her eyelashes, "He is also resting at home. He has taken good care of me during this period and is exhausted. I hope everyone...will not disturb him."
"We heard that Miss Su Yao invested because she was very fond of Mr. Jiang..."
Ning Nanxue suddenly raised her head, tears welling up again. She forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "Miss Su's feelings... She is very frank. However, she told Tingchen and me personally that she has let it go. Some time ago, she even invited us to go to the holiday villa together..."
She paused, lowering her voice: "Didn't something happen at the villa later? It almost... If Tingchen hadn't protected me, I might have..."
She showed a hint of fear at the right moment, causing a commotion among the reporters.
"So, do you want to say something to Miss Su now?"
Ning Nanxue sniffed and looked towards the camera, her eyes filled with sincerity. "Ms. Su...she's so kind and generous. I don't know how to express my gratitude...really, compared to what she's done, anything I say seems too little. If you want to know her thoughts, you should ask her. This praise belongs to her."
Her words were sincere and flawless, pushing all the focus back to Su Yao.
The reporters looked at each other, some began to whisper. The ball was kicked back again!
The crowd downstairs surged again and moved towards the Su family villa.
Su family villa.
Su Yao slammed the tablet computer in her hand onto the sofa, and Ning Nanxue's tearful face was frozen on the screen.
"Bitch! She's such a good actor! She pretends to be pitiful to gain sympathy, and then passes the buck to me?!" Su Yao was so angry that her chest heaved.
Mrs. Su sat beside her, holding a cup of scented tea and blowing on it slowly: "Why rush? Let her act, and we'll watch ours."
"Mom! Look at her! She looks like she's been wronged! She even brought up the holiday villa incident, hinting at my ulterior motives and flaunting how much Jiang Tingchen loves her! Now the reporters must think I'm a clown with malicious intentions!"
"Oh?" Mrs. Su put down her teacup and looked at her daughter. "So what? Did the reporters come to surround you?"
"They do think so! Are the bodyguards at our door vegetarians?" Su Yao said unhappily.
"That's it," Madam Su said calmly. "Ning Nanxue said so much, what's the core of it?"
Su Yao was stunned for a moment: "The core? It's to thank me and then push me out to block the gun..."
"No," Mrs. Su shook her head. "The key point is that she admitted our Su family's investment in the Fu Corporation in front of the entire city's media, and admitted that this investment was related to your feelings for Jiang Tingchen. Now, who doesn't know that our Su family is the major financial backer of the Fu Corporation? Who doesn't know that this money is for you?"
Su Yao blinked, her anger subsided a little, and her mind began to turn: "Mom, you mean..."
"What I mean is," Madam Su said with a faint smile, "from now on, if the Fu family shows any disrespect to our Su family, or has any ulterior motives, we won't have to do anything. The public's saliva will drown them. Who dares to disrespect the Su family who 'invests in love'? Who dares to let you, a 'great contributor', suffer any injustice?"
Su Yao's eyes lit up: "Yes! If they dare to do anything to our Su family, they will be ungrateful!"
"More than that," Madam Su continued, "you can now go to the Fu Group with good reason. It's reasonable for you to pay attention to our Su family's investments and see where the money is spent. Who dares to stop you?"
Su Yao completely lost her temper, with a smug smile on her face. She threw herself into Madam Su's arms and acted coquettishly: "Mom, you are still the best! Humph, Ning Nanxue wants to fight me, she is still a little naive!"
Madam Su patted her on the back and said, "Alright, don't get carried away. We have to keep an eye on Fu Chen as well."
"I know, Mom!" Su Yao's voice was full of energy again. "I'll get ready and go to Fu's to inspect it tomorrow!"
The next morning, there were indeed some reporters squatting outside the Su family villa, which was very annoying to see.
"Miss, the car is ready. Shall we go out the back door?" the butler asked in a low voice.
"Nonsense! Are you going out through the front door to feed the flies?" Su Yao glared at the housekeeper unhappily, straightened her freshly curled hair, and walked towards the back door in her high heels.
The journey was smooth, Su Yao got in the car and headed straight for the Fu Group Building.
The front desk clerk of the Fu Group knew the eldest daughter of the Su family and did not dare to neglect her, so she led her directly to the president's office on the top floor.
Fu Chen was processing documents when he heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw that it was Su Yao. He put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Miss Su, you've finally shown up?" he teased. "Ning Nanxue's been putting on a show, waiting for you, the real protagonist, to appear. Now, you're the only one missing. Of the three protagonists in this drama, you're the last one to respond to the media."
Su Yao walked over to sit down opposite him, put the limited edition bag aside, and curled her lips: "Tsk, I don't bother to play that kind of trick that can't be put on the table with her. Crying and crying for sympathy? It's boring. But you, Fu Chen, now that the money has arrived, are those messed up projects of the group easier to deal with? "
The smile on Fu Chen's face faded a little, and his fingers tapped the table unconsciously: "The money has arrived, but there are also a lot of troubles."
"Huh? What trouble?" Su Yao raised her eyebrows.
"When Ning Nanxue was in power, in order to consolidate her position and also for... revenge, she deeply tied the core business of the Ning Group to the Fu Group. Now many projects, personnel, and even technical patents are intertwined. You are part of me and I am part of you. It is difficult to divest Ning's assets cleanly and neatly." Fu Chen looked at her and stated the facts calmly.
