Su family
Old Madam Su's face was as dark as a storm cloud as she looked at Su Tianming and Su Tianhao, "At a time like this, what are you two brothers still arguing about?!"
Su Tianming adjusted his glasses, glanced at Su Tianhao, then looked at Old Madam Su, "It's not that I'm competing with him, but the CFO is my man, and now he's trying to interfere..."
Su Tianhao sneered, "The CFO is yours, the legal department is yours, the administration is yours, even the board of directors..." Su Tianhao scoffed, "You might as well say the entire group is yours."
Su Tianming felt his vision was blurry through the lenses, so he took off his glasses, blew on them, and wiped them. Seeing Su Tianhao's furious state, he calmly said, "I have no objection to you placing your people in other positions."
But a CFO position won't do!
"Ha, how generous." Su Tianhao looked at Su Tianming sarcastically. "Or maybe you're the one with something to hide, and you've probably embezzled a large sum of money..."
"Tianhao!" Old Madam Su stopped her youngest son. "That's enough."
Su Tianhao shut his mouth; the old lady had always favored her eldest son.
Old Madam Su was so angry her head throbbed. "No matter what, you're still brothers. What does it matter whose person is in which position? Is this the time to argue about these things? That jinx Su Ziqing..."
She paused, her eyes filled with coldness, "You've all gotten involved with the Gong family, do you even know that!"
"Mom, how could the Gong family possibly want her with a broken palm..." Su Tianming sneered, "She's just a little girl, crushing her is as easy as crushing an ant."
“Exactly.” Su Tianhao didn’t even take Su Ziqing seriously.
However, Madam Su, who had already underestimated her enemy once, did not think so. "No matter what, let's deal with her first."
“When the board meets, we will naturally remove her from the board,” Su Tianming said.
The old lady was still worried. "Have you heard anything from the people you sent to keep an eye on her?"
Su Tianming glanced at Su Tianhao.
This glance made Su Tianhao so angry he almost slammed his fist on the table. "What? Is there something I can't hear? When we're united against a common enemy, Su Ziqing is the outsider!"
“Su Ziqing is indeed not living in her apartment right now, and the people we sent have indeed lost track of her, but…” Su Tianming paused, thinking of the scene at the banquet, and said, “Let’s put this aside for now, there’s no rush.”
"Is there any progress on the matter of the private seal?" Old Madam Su asked again.
"Mom, it's best if the personal seal can't be found." That way, there won't be a will.
“If we find Su Ziqing, we’ll snatch her away too.” Su Tianming looked at Su Tianhao. “If Tianhao can help, then I won’t have to run around all by myself.”
Su Tianhao was furious and stood up. "Do you think I don't want to help? Big brother, give me a chance..."
Just then, Su Tianming's wife, Li Ling, hurriedly returned from outside.
"Tianming..."
Su Tianming frowned. "You mean you made plans to go shopping? Why are you back so soon?"
Li Ling put down her Hermes bag and saw Su Tianhao standing there, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
If it weren't for Old Master Su's messy distribution of the inheritance, Su Tianming and Su Tianhao wouldn't be so 'united'.
"Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me like that?" Su Tianhao said irritably.
"Mrs. Ou actually said that our two families should keep their distance!" Li Ling was furious at the thought. The two families were about to get engaged, what distance did they need to keep?
As soon as the argument started, Mrs. Ou actually said that the engagement was canceled.
Li Ling was so angry that she rushed back.
Upon hearing that the engagement between the two families was canceled, Su Tianming's expression changed. "What do you mean canceled? Why didn't the Ou family come to discuss this?"
Li Ling's face turned ashen with anger. "That's what I asked too, but Mrs. Ou actually said that we weren't even engaged yet! What we said before was just talk."
Su Tianhao, who was standing nearby, chuckled to himself.
He was already less well-off than Su Tianming in this family, and he was worried about Su Tianming's marriage to the Ou family. Now that the engagement has fallen through, it's a good thing for him.
He suppressed his joy and pretended to be puzzled, "Well, both families had put the engagement on the agenda, so why did the Ou family suddenly back out?"
Li Ling looked at Su Tianming and said, "I made some inquiries and heard it's because of Auchan."
Given that Su Tianhao was present, Li Ling did not reveal the specific reason.
"Go back to your room and change your clothes first," Su Tianming said.
Su Tianming soon made an excuse and went back to his room. Su Tianhao sat there without moving and said to Old Madam Su, "Mom, why do you think the Ou family is breaking off the engagement at this time?"
Madam Su frowned and shook her head.
As soon as Su Tianming returned to his room, Li Ling greeted him, "Didn't you say at the last banquet that you saw a jinx arguing with Auchan?"
Su Tianming looked at her and said, "Mm."
“I heard from Mrs. Ou that because of what happened that day, a project that Auchan was in charge of was canceled, and the Ou family was even planning to send Auchan abroad for further studies.”
Li Ling grew angrier the more she thought about it. "The whole of City A knows that Ou Shang and our Xiao Man are getting engaged, and the Ou family is acting like this now... Isn't this a slap in the face for us?"
Su Tianming felt that things were not so simple. Could it be that Su Ziqing had really climbed the social ladder by marrying into the Gong family?
Li Ling talked for a while, but her husband didn't react. She nudged him, "Tianming, Tianming?"
Su Tianming snapped out of his daze, his face grim. "I will communicate with the Ou family about this matter."

Switzerland
Su Ziqing took the card, and things went even more smoothly than she had imagined. Someone saw the card she was holding and took her directly to retrieve the things that Grandpa Su had left in the bank.
A small box contained the private seal that Old Master Su kept. However, Su Ziqing was not happy at all when she received the seal.
She wondered why her grandfather had kept this up his sleeve. Did he... already foresee something?
"Ms. Su," the professional said with a smile, "please sign here."
Su Ziqing took the box and signed her name on the document.
Outside the bank, Gong Chengjue waited in his car.
Su Ziqing walked out of the bank, holding the box and lost in thought.
I had just left the bank and was going down the stairs when someone accidentally bumped into me...
Su Ziqing reacted almost immediately and protected the box.
The person who hit her probably didn't expect that she was quite skilled and managed to fight back. However, the other party was prepared and was holding a dagger. Su Ziqing was protecting the box with one hand, which put her at a disadvantage.
The dagger came straight at her. She held the dagger in one hand and opened her bag with the other, taking out cotton needles from inside.
"Hiss..." The dagger pierced the back of her hand, and she also stabbed the pressure point on the other person's hand. The dagger slipped from the other person's hand and fell to the ground.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
