Su Xiaoman became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she were truly empathizing with the situation.
In fact, it was indeed my personal experience.
In the face of poverty, many things cannot withstand the test.
"I can," Su Ziqing blinked and continued innocently.
Su Xiaoman: "..." Is she just going to go against me?!
There was a momentary pause in the atmosphere as the chrysanthemum tea in front of us steamed.
Su Xiaoman took a deep breath. "Su Ziqing, I was too petty back then and stole the boy you liked, but you got your revenge on me, didn't you?"
She deliberately referred to Auchan, the man who had already been eliminated, as a boy. What is the difference between a boy and a man?
One is a child! The other is an adult.
By saying this, she was obviously trying to put an end to the events of that year when the little girl was vying for attention and acting all envious.
"I'll take revenge on you?" Su Ziqing's focus was different from Su Xiaoman's, and Su Ziqing scoffed.
Su Xiaoman immediately changed her tune, "It wasn't you retaliating against me; I shot myself in the foot. You've seen the consequences."
Su Ziqing remained silent.
“Let’s settle our scores over a cup of tea, shall we?” Su Xiaoman looked at Su Ziqing and picked up her teacup.
Of course, Su Ziqing did not pick up the teacup.
Su Xiaoman has actually grown into a mature Su Xiaoman, tsk tsk.
Seeing that Su Ziqing ignored her, Su Xiaoman put down her teacup and continued, "I used to want to be the most pampered little princess in the family. You're not much older than me, and you have no parents, yet you're favored by your grandfather. I hate you."
"I hate you too," Su Ziqing said frankly.
Su Xiaoman: "..." Could you please not interrupt when she's about to launch into a long speech? You're ruining the atmosphere she's built up.
Su Ziqing raised an eyebrow.
Su Xiaoman continued, "But I ask myself, apart from the Auchan matter, nothing else I've done to you has been excessive."
"Oh, you mean the rumors about me among my classmates, saying it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that getting close to me would kill me?"
Su Xiaoman: "..." Can we still have a proper conversation?
Su Xiaoman was furious. "I've had a miscarriage!" Her physical and mental trauma was far greater than Su Ziqing's, okay?
Su Ziqing picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite. Just as she was about to answer, Su Xiaoman interrupted her, "Su Ziqing, I was hurt no less than you."
"You brought that on yourself, while I was harmed by you. How can you compare them?" Su Ziqing retorted sharply. The fried dough stick was really greasy. She put it down and felt a little nauseous.
"Don't you think these fried dough sticks taste different from before?" She was still able to calmly discuss the fried dough sticks with Su Xiaoman.
From beginning to end, Su Xiaoman had invited her out to discuss important matters, but Su Ziqing acted nonchalantly, as if she were just out for morning tea.
Surprisingly, Su Xiaoman even picked up a fried dough stick, took a bite, and shook her head, saying, "I don't feel any difference."
She has no appetite for anything now, and no desire to savor it.
She has been tossing and turning and unable to sleep these past two days.
She initially listened to Su Tianming, her father, but after spending so much time in the capital, enduring hardship and biding her time, she is now a more reflective person.
She has a younger brother. Su Tianming does love her, but only when everything is stable. When she had her miscarriage, her company was in trouble and her family was in a mess. What was Su Tianming's attitude towards her then?
Considering that in most families, the heir is usually a man, how many daughters, unless they are only children, can actually secure the position of heir?
Yes, but very few, so few that they are almost negligible.
Su Tianming told her to watch from the shore, and that she could come out and reap the rewards once Su Ziqing and Su Tianhao started fighting.
But, as the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," what is she now? Is she the mantis, or the oriole?
After watching Su Xiaoman for two days, I suddenly felt like a praying mantis...
She fell from grace as a wealthy heiress, then went to the capital to curry favor with a high-ranking official, sacrificing her beauty, her body, and even her money...
To make wedding dresses for someone else? Even if that person is her father, it's still unacceptable! Not to mention, her father did such a thing to her grandfather, and she is his daughter. Who knows if he'll just use her and then throw her away?
Don't forget, it was Su Tianming who sent her to the capital!
She wanted to take back everything she had before, and getting revenge on Su Ziqing was one thing, but how she ended up on that path was another.
So, Su Xiaoman suddenly changed course and made another decision.
She put down the fried dough stick, made a distressed expression, and said, "Now we are adults, and we should deal with problems with an adult attitude."
“Pull Su Tianhao down now, and we’ll go up ourselves,” Su Xiaoman said seriously.
Hearing this, Su Ziqing couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Why should I?"
Before Su Xiaoman could retort, Su Ziqing continued, "Me and you? To be honest, I trust my second uncle more."
“If you trust him, you won’t investigate him,” Su Xiaoman said softly.
Su Ziqing immediately composed herself and looked at Su Xiaoman.
Su Xiaoman looked at her calmly, not at all feeling that she had done anything shameful.
"You sent people to keep an eye on Su Tianhao and investigate him, didn't you?"
Su Ziqing remained silent, trying to guess how much Su Xiaoman knew.
In fact, Su Xiaoman didn't need to guess; she just said it directly.
"You can overlook other things, but you don't care about the accidental deaths of your parents?" Su Xiaoman said slowly.
Since Grandpa Su's accident and the subsequent series of misfortunes in the family, Su Xiaoman's mindset has already changed.
Moreover, since it was Su Ziqing's parents who died, she was even more indifferent, so she spoke these words very calmly.
Su Ziqing narrowed her eyes.
“The statute of limitations has long expired, sister.” Su Xiaoman looked at Su Ziqing. Although Su Ziqing’s face did not reveal anything, her eyes betrayed her.
See? People can't stay calm when it comes to people or things they care about.
"Are you really willing to just watch Su Tianhao sit in the chairman's seat? He's practically your father and mother's killer." Su Xiaoman sighed softly. "Putting everything else aside, we're in the same boat, sister."
After recovering from her discomfort, Su Ziqing continued eating, but suddenly found that the traditional dim sum at this old-established restaurant was no longer tasty.
She put down her chopsticks and looked at Su Xiaoman. "Do you think I would go along with you? All your information comes from your father, right?"
“We are all innocent people.” Su Xiaoman looked at Su Ziqing. “I was just a little spoiled before. I was kept in the dark about everything in the family. Having a father who poisoned his own father for the sake of the family property was not something I could choose.”
“He has already been punished by law, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will even die of old age in prison. Isn’t this the result you wanted?” Su Xiaoman said slowly.
