The next day is Saturday, so you don't have to go to work today.
Su Ruoxue locked herself in her room almost all day long and was in a very bad mood.
She didn't know what agreement her grandfather had reached with Shen Lang. She only knew that this man would still stay by her side.
No matter how bad the situation is, life must go on.
Su Ruoxue changed into a refreshing dress and walked downstairs.
In the hall, Shen Lang was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. When he saw Su Ruoxue coming downstairs, he said hello to her.
Normally, Su Ruoxue would reply, but now she is too lazy to reply.
Shen Lang didn't mind the woman's indifferent attitude and told Su Ruoxue about the agreement he and Su Yunshan reached yesterday.
"So, I will leave you in three months at most." Shen Lang shrugged and said.
Su Ruoxue frowned slightly and remained silent.
"Who are you? Why can grandpa trust you so much?" Su Ruoxue took a deep breath and asked Shen Lang.
She thought a lot and always felt that something was fishy. Grandpa was a shrewd and wise man, and it was impossible for him to trust a young man in his early 20s so much for no reason.
Shen Lang smiled and said: "I am who I am, and Shen Lang is my real name. Mr. Su, if you don't want to marry Luo Tianyao, why not consider me first?"
Su Ruoxue was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "You can dream! I'm warning you Shen Lang, although we are living together now, please keep your distance from me in the future."
"Mr. Su, in fact, I am so handsome, knowledgeable, talented, and have a good personality. I have many advantages all rolled into one... There is no need for you to hate me so much, right?" Shen Lang talked eloquently.
Su Ruoxue was a little speechless, and Shen Lang looked arrogant. He could be called a gangster in society.
Seeing Su Ruoxue's disgusted expression, Shen Lang felt quite helpless, thinking that what his junior sister said was wrong. He had shown his true side to Su Ruoxue, and even this Bingshan woman didn't believe it.
The phone rang suddenly. Su Ruoxue took it and took a look. It was a number she didn't want to see.
Taking a deep breath, Su Ruoxue pressed connect.
"Hey, Mom."
Shen Lang, who was sitting next to the sofa, raised his eyebrows, Mom?
Su Ruoxue is the adopted daughter of the Su family. Her adoptive father has passed away and was divorced early because she could not have children.
Logically speaking, Su Ruoxue should have no mother. The person Su Ruoxue calls "Mom" should be her stepmother.
Su Ruoxue's stepmother is Qiao Lan, the CEO and major shareholder of Tianrong International, and the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.
"Come on, Su Ruoxue, do you still think of me as your mother?" A woman's arrogant voice came from the other end of the phone.
Su Ruoxue's face looked a little ugly, and she said in a calm tone: "Mom, you called me, are you okay?"
"I heard that you are living with a man now. What's going on? You have to know that these are extraordinary times. I don't allow you to have any men around you. Otherwise, what will Luo Tianyao think of you?" Qiao Lan frowned.
"Mom, I've said it many times, I will not marry Luo Tianyao." Su Ruoxue said through her teeth.
"Huh, Luo Tianyao will just return to China next week. I will arrange for you to meet him." Qiao Lan said calmly.
"I won't meet him." Su Ruoxue said coldly.
"This matter is not up to you. The marriage between you and the Luo family must be implemented immediately, otherwise Tianrong International will never survive the next month. If you don't want your grandfather to go to jail, come find me tonight."
Su Ruoxue's face was full of bitterness. She knew what Qiao Lan's words meant. Once Tianrong International collapsed, if the major creditors failed to recover their funds, grandpa might be taken to court, and the minimum sentence would be five years in prison.
Not only did Qiao Lan put the shit on her grandfather's head, she also forced herself to marry Luo Tianyao in exchange for the huge funds provided by Hisun Group.
She hates Qiao Lan very much in her heart, because Tianrong International's current situation is basically the result of this woman's mismanagement. Moreover, this woman is the initiator, and made an engagement between her and Luo Tianyao without her consent.
.
"Okay, I'll see you tonight."
Su Ruoxue's tone was indifferent, and after saying this, she hung up the phone.
Shen Lang, who was sitting on the sofa beside him, suddenly said: "That stepmother of yours is really inhumane. Now she is actually threatening Mr. Su."
"What does this have to do with you?" Su Ruoxue was extremely distressed and was in no mood to talk to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang was actually right when he said that Su Yunshan was her weakness, and Su Ruoxue was only her grandfather. Now Qiao Lan even wanted to send her grandfather to prison in order to make the engagement come true.
"Let's go see your stepmother." Shen Lang suddenly patted Su Ruoxue's shoulder.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, why are you following me here?" Su Ruoxue frowned.
"Keep you safe." Shen Lang said calmly.
"as you like."
Su Ruoxue was no longer in the mood to talk. She had no hope that Shen Lang could protect her safety.
She just promised Qiao Lan to meet her, but she couldn't avoid this matter, so Su Ruoxue had no choice but to face it.
Around six o'clock in the evening, Ye Kai and Su Ruoxue walked out of the gate and got into an Audi convertible without eating.
The Audi drove away from the gate of the villa. Shen Lang asked as he drove: "Mr. Su, is the Qiao family you mentioned famous in Huahai City?"
Now Shen Lang no longer calls her wife, which makes Su Ruoxue feel better and patiently replies: "Not only in Huahai City, but also in the whole province, it is considered a top family business, mainly in foreign trade business."
Huahai City is a large city by the sea and the most famous first-tier city in Huaxia. The surrounding trade is very close.
Not only legitimate business, but underground business is also rampant, such as the smuggling of drugs, arms and other items.
Although the Qiao family is not as famous as the Luo family, it is still famous in Huahai City, ranking at least in the top five. More than a quarter of the ports in Huahai are controlled by the Qiao family, and they have secretly done a lot of dirty underground business.
Huahai Villa Group is the top sea view villa group in Huahai City. It was established relatively early but has been rebuilt many times. It is a wealthy area with a long history in Huahai City.
Beautiful scenery comes into view, with green trees and a fresh environment. There are various fountains, rockeries, observation decks, and even many national first- and second-level protected trees. Even the street lights on the roads in the villa community are precious chandeliers.
As soon as you drive into the community, you can feel the luxurious atmosphere of the upper class.
The Audi convertible stopped in front of a sea view villa, and Shen Lang and Su Ruoxue got out of the car.
A beautiful woman wearing a Versace red dress and heavy makeup is sitting on a beach chair, shaking a goblet filled with red wine in her hand, with a leisurely attitude.
At first glance, the beautiful woman looks like she is in her thirties, but she has a tall and plump figure, fair skin, and is well-maintained.
Shen Lang could tell at a glance that this woman was over forty years old. No matter how well she took care of herself, the wrinkles on her skin still showed her age.
This beautiful woman is Su Ruoxue's stepmother, named Qiao Lan, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family and the new heir.
"mom."
Su Ruoxue took a deep breath, stepped forward and greeted the beautiful woman.
Qiao Lan glanced at Su Ruoxue and snorted: "That's funny. I'm not your mother. Don't call me that."
The beautiful woman has an arrogant attitude and feels superior to others when talking to others. This arrogance seems to have been formed over many years.
Su Ruoxue gritted her teeth. In fact, she did not regard Qiao Lan as her mother. It was just that her father married this woman, so calling her "Mom" was purely out of respect for her dead father.
While sipping red wine, Qiao Lan looked at Shen Lang next to Su Ruoxue and said coldly: "Who is this man?"
Shen Lang smiled and said hello: "Hello, my name is Shen Lang."
A trace of contempt and disgust flashed in Qiao Lan's eyes, and she said arrogantly: "Did I ask you something? I didn't ask you, so shut up! Pay attention to your status, don't be ignorant of your rank!"
