59 -59: Jiang Yan Comes Knocking
“Tangtang, about that new clothing endorsement with Jing Group I mentioned last time, they’ve already found a suitable candidate.”
Lu Ying spoke to Tang Sirou, who was browsing on her phone.
Upon hearing this, Tang Sirou’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Didn’t they agree to appoint me as the endorsement model?”
Lu Ying replied, “President Li said that he couldn’t do anything about it.”
Jing Group launches a new product every year, creating a frenzy that significantly boosts the popularity and reputation of the involved celebrities.
Furthermore, the latest clothing line was personally designed by designer Stars, who designs a new product herself every other year.
Her new products, once launched, sell out immediately due to their limited availability.
She originally planned to use this endorsement to boost her popularity and fame.
“Who did they choose as the endorsement model?” A harsh glint flashed in Tang Sirou’s eyes.
Lu Ying said, “They have kept it very confidential; nothing has been revealed yet.”
“Then find a way to dig out who it is, we mustn’t miss out on this endorsement model,” Tang Sirou said coldly.
“Alright, I understand, I’ll find out as soon as possible,” said Lu Ying before she left.
Tang Sirou’s phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it and answered the call.
“Hello.”
An anxious and panicked male voice came from the other end, “Miss Tang, you must help me this time…
You really have to help me…
I did what you said.
Now, Fifth Young Master Jiang has traced it back to me, and I’ve been fired by our editor-in-chief.
I have a family to feed, I’ve lost my job, and now that I’ve offended Fifth Young Master Jiang, no newspapers dare to take me in.”
Tang Sirou’s brows furrowed, and her expression darkened.
She clenched her teeth and said, “Keep your mouth shut tightly.
If you dare to leak a word, you and your family will not have good days ahead.”
The man clearly understood her implication—he couldn’t afford to offend the Jiang Family or the Tang Family.
“Miss Tang, don’t worry, I haven’t revealed a word about you, but I have a request now, I want five million.
I will take my family and leave.”
Tang Sirou, “You really know how to ask for a lot!”
The man said, “I think, Miss Tang, you wouldn’t mind five million, because compared to your career and reputation, five million is just a drop in the bucket, right?
Miss Tang, I’ve been writing scandalous stories about you and Fifth Young Master Jiang for years.
Now that I’m in danger, you can’t just stand by and watch me die.”
Tang Sirou clenched her teeth, “Take the money and get out of Yue City immediately!”
The man on the other end of the call no longer sounded panicked; he chuckled sinisterly, “Don’t worry, once I get the money, I’ll naturally leave.”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Sirou dialed another number.
The other end answered, “Hello, young mistress.”
“How’s the investigation I asked you to do?” Tang Sirou inquired.
“Young mistress, I am incompetent.
So far, I haven’t found any negative news about Su He.
In the past four years, she has been studying in Zurich, and hasn’t traveled elsewhere.
Moreover, she’s quite low-key at school, and her relationships with others are not bad.
The only difference is that she may truly be smarter than the average person, with a high IQ.
Other than that, there’s nothing special.
People from her school all say she is a genius.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Sirou’s expression became even more fierce, “What about her background?”
She had become suspicious the last time she heard Old Mr.
Long’s words in his sickroom.
Su He’s grandfather was just a farmer; it was illogical for him to know the Long Family.
The person at the other end replied, “Su He doesn’t have any prominent background.
The Su Family is just an ordinary family.
Su He lived with her grandparents in a small town in Beijing before going abroad.
The Su Family doesn’t have many relatives; she also has two uncles who seem to work outside their hometown; they don’t live in the countryside.”
This made Tang Sirou even more baffled.
“Then go and find out why Old Mr.
Long and Su He’s grandfather knew each other, and do a thorough investigation.”
“Yes, young mistress.”
Su Family of Beijing.
The open-air balcony on the second floor.
“Have you really decided to get a divorce?”
Su Zhimian, propping his chin with one hand, looked thoughtfully at Su He across from him and asked.
Su He lifted her eyelids slightly, her hands resting on the back of the chair, her slender fingers gently tapping the armrest in a relaxed and comfortable pose.
“There’s no emotional attachment between us, there’s no need for us to compromise for each other.”
“But there’s still Xixi between you two.”
Su He pondered for a moment, her expression indifferent, “He just provided a seed for cultivation; to him, it was a seed he willingly abandoned.
Therefore, Xixi will not become a bond between him and me.”
Su Zhimian: “…”
It seems that isn’t entirely unreasonable.
“By the way, about the matter you asked me to look into last time, there’s some progress.”
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
Su Zhimian changed the topic.
Su He responded with a “hmm.”
Su Zhimian continued, “When my aunt returned home after graduating from college, she wanted Grandpa to agree to her marriage with An Chengyuan, but Grandpa disagreed.
She argued with Grandpa and then went to Yue City on her own.
She and An Chengyuan had been in love for years; they were college classmates.
By the time Grandpa found out, my aunt had already registered for marriage with An Chengyuan and was pregnant with you.
It was too late for Grandpa to stop them.
But Grandpa also made it clear to my aunt that from that day forward, the Su Family would not help the An Family, nor allow her to claim outside that she is a daughter of the Su Family.”
Originally, not many people knew Su Wanqiu was a daughter of the Su Family.
Su Wanqiu has always been a stubborn girl, never wanting to rely on her family, so when Su Yiguo said those words, she agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, Su Wanqiu never reached out to the Su Family for money or help.
But just two months after she married into the An Family, the company faced a financial crisis.
Su Wanqiu then invested all her dowry and properties into An Group, totaling two billion.
Originally seen as a country woman by the An Family, suddenly taking out so much money surprised them.
She then fabricated a story, saying she didn’t grow up in her biological family, that she was lost by her family as a child, and the family that took her in was well-off, and the money was the inheritance left by her adoptive parents.
The An Family believed it.
The then-living elder Mr.
An transferred twenty-five percent of his fifty-five percent shareholdings to her, making her the second largest shareholder of the An Group.
After the death of Mr.
An, his shares went to Chen Shurong.
The chairman of the An Group is still Chen Shurong, and his two sons, one the president and the other the vice-president of the company, hold only 5% of the shares each.
Upon hearing this, Su He asked, “Whose hands are my mother’s twenty-five percent of the shares in?”
Su Zhimian replied, “This is the most outrageous part; logically, after my aunt passed away, and since you were a minor, these shares should have been in An Chengyuan’s hands, but now they are in Old Mrs.
An’s hands.”
“And the dividends that belong to my aunt are all in Old Mrs.
An’s hands.”
Su He slightly frowned.
But Grandma had always been holding onto her mother’s dividends and had never mentioned it to her.
She knew she was driven out of the An Family, and at that time, the Su Family was seen as a poor family by them, definitely having a hard life, yet she never offered any help.
She holds significant influence in An Group, initially thinking that An Chengyuan was the controller of the An Family, but now it seems she was mistaken.
She always thought Chen Shurong didn’t stop An Chengyuan from driving her out of the An Family because she lacked the power.
Su Zhimian said, “Another thing is that to the outside world, the person in charge of the An Family appears to be your father, but in reality, it is Old Mrs.
An.”
Then, he added another sentence, “You mentioned earlier that only the old lady from the An Family had protected you.
As long as you ask her to give back the shares that belong to your aunt, she should, right?”
Su He remained calm, seemingly contemplative.
After a moment, she said, “It’s hard to say, I’ll have to try and see.”
She always felt that there were things she hadn’t fully understood yet.
–
At this moment, at the An Mansion.
Living room.
An Xueyin noticed there was no one else in the living room, and then asked Lin Yue, “Mom, about the matter I mentioned to you last time, how is your investigation going?”
Mentioning this, Lin Yue found it quite odd.
“I had someone look into it, and nothing was found.
She’s been studying abroad alone for these four years.”
An Xueyin said, “But I saw her with a man and a child at the hospital entrance myself, and I even took a photo.”
Saying this, she pulled out her phone, opened a photo, and said, “Look, this is Su He, she was wearing this outfit that day.”
Lin Yue took the phone, looked at the photo, and although it was from the back, she still recognized it was Su He.
“But I had someone check the hospital’s surveillance footage from that day, and this scene wasn’t on there,” Lin Yue said.
An Xueyin objected, “That’s impossible, I saw it with my own eyes.”
At this, the mother and daughter both sensed something was amiss.
“Unless someone has tampered with the surveillance video,” Lin Yue murmured.
An Xueyin frowned and said, “But how could she possibly have the capabilities to manipulate the hospital’s surveillance equipment?”
Lin Yue: “Don’t forget, she knows Jiang Yan.
She just needs to leverage a bit of the Jiang Family’s power to do it.”
“Mom, if Su He tampered with the video, then there must be something wrong,” An Xueyin said.
“She must be messing around with someone else outside and has a child.
We should tell our cousin about this and have her discreetly relay it to Fifth Young Master Jiang.
Then Su He will definitely lose the protection of the Jiang Family.”
“That’s not a good idea.
The matter isn’t certain yet, and it’s better not to startle her.
If it turns out not to be the case, it could backfire and alert Su He, making things difficult later,” Lin Yue said, still quite cautious.
“Mom, then what do you suggest we do?” An Xueyin asked.
“To ensure she leaves Yue City forever,” Lin Yue said with a cold laugh.
To never appear again.
At this time, upstairs in the An Mansion, An Mi, who was initially about to go downstairs, halted when she heard the voices below and hid at the staircase’s turn to eavesdrop.
She heard every single word her mom and sister said.
Then, she quietly turned back and returned to her room.
She secretly sent Su He a brief but concise WeChat message, highlighting the key points.
Su He was indeed taken aback when she received her WeChat.
An Mi: [Sister, mom and An Xueyin are plotting against you.
They even had someone investigate you, and An Xueyin has a photo of you on her phone, I don’t know the specifics, I only overheard it.]
Su He replied, [Okay, I got it.
Just act like you know nothing, understand?]
An Mi replied instantly with a cute emoji of “Received”.
At this moment, Lin Yue still didn’t know that her daughter was a leaky jacket.
–
At four in the afternoon.
A surprising visitor arrived at the Su Family.
“Sir, who are you looking for?”
The Su Family’s security guard stopped the car outside the gate.
Though the car was luxurious, the security guard didn’t recognize the passengers.
And they hadn’t been notified that the Su Family was expecting visitors today.
Jiang Feng felt quite distressed for his boss, Fifth Young Master Jiang, for being stopped even though he came from his wife’s family.
Jiang Feng glanced at the rearview mirror before turning to the window to address the security guard, clearing his throat, “Brother, we are from the Jiang Family, here to see Miss Su He.”
“Looking for Miss?” The guard looked puzzled: “But Miss didn’t mention having visitors today.”
Jiang Feng couldn’t but admire the Su Family’s security guard for being so diligent and vigilant.
“Could you please notify them?
Our boss is Miss Su He’s husband,” Jiang Feng dropped a bombshell.
“What?
Husband?”
The housekeeper, who was instructing the servants to tidy up the backyard, received a call from the security guard.
“Hello, Housekeeper Zhu, there’s a man at the gate claiming he is Miss’s husband, surnamed Jiang.”
The guard spoke from the gazebo, glancing at the people in the luxury car.
“Mr.
Jiang?
Miss’s husband?” Zhu, the housekeeper muttered to himself in confusion, then suddenly realized, “Okay, I got it, stall them for a moment, I need to inform the Miss first.”
After all, Young Master Sun was still at the Su Family, and this morning the Old Master strictly ordered not to leak his visit.
But now their son-in-law had come by himself.
“Okay, Housekeeper Zhu,” the guard said.
Seeing him hang up the phone, Jiang Feng waved at him, “Brother, how is it?
Can we go in now?”
The guard jogged over and said, “Sorry, you two, not yet, the housekeeper said he needs to check with the Miss first.”
“…” Jiang Feng.
The next second, he could feel the death stare from the man behind him.
This was probably the first time Young Master Jiang had been stopped outside a door since he was sensible.
Elsewhere.
Housekeeper Zhu rushed to the main hall to find Su He.
Just as Su He came down from the second floor, she saw him entering hurriedly.
“Uncle Zhu, what’s wrong?” she asked.
Uncle Zhu swallowed, his tone slightly panicked, “Miss, there’s trouble, your husband has arrived, he’s outside.”
Su He: “?”
She hadn’t adapted to the title, sincerely asked, “What husband?
Where did this husband come from?”
Uncle Zhu: “Fifth Young Master Jiang.”
Su He: “…”
