Su Group Headquarters.
Inside a bright office.
Su Shengtian, with a head full of silver hair, clenched his teeth in anger after listening to Lin Xuan's "complaint" on the phone.
He kept rubbing his temples with his right hand to ease his overwhelming fury.
Su Yan!
This rebellious daughter?!
Just thinking about his love-struck daughter made Su Shengtian feel utterly exhausted.
When he first found out that Su Yan was dating an old man...
He was firmly against it, but his daughter kept throwing tantrums—crying, making a scene, and even threatening suicide.
Left with no choice.
Su Shengtian reluctantly nodded for the time being and secretly started investigating Wang Defa.
What he found was shocking.
On the surface, Wang Defa appeared refined, humorous, and knowledgeable—a well-respected professor at Modu University.
But behind the scenes, he was not only a gambling addict but also used his power to seduce many young and naive female students.
Most crucially, he was still married—with a wife and children.
Wasn't he the definition of scum?!
When Su Shengtian threw the investigation results in his daughter's face, thinking it would finally wake her up…
She just calmly responded:
"To err is human, to forgive is divine. If someone makes a mistake and can amend it, there is no greater good."
"Dad! What you're saying, Wang Ge has already confessed to me, and he promised me that he will divorce his wife soon. I already know and have forgiven him."
"I'm not a love-struck fool. I'm very clear-headed. I just like Wang Ge! I want to give him a family and have a few little babies for him."
"After all, this is the fate of every woman! The purpose of a woman's existence is to bear children for men, isn't it?"
"Wang Ge, although he has made mistakes and sometimes treats me with cold violence, he really is trying to change. Besides that, he's actually very thoughtful and kind to me."
"......."
After hearing this, Su Shengtian felt his world spinning, and before he knew it, he blacked out and woke up in a hospital.
From then on, the conflict between father and daughter grew worse, becoming widely known in Modu.
This was why he had made the tough decision to revoke Su Yan's shares and publicly cut ties with her—it was truly exhausting.
Now, hearing that this rebellious daughter had gone to Lin Xuan to cause trouble while he was away…
Su Shengtian was so furious he nearly blew his mustache off.
He roared into the phone: "Su Yan! What the hell are you doing at Xiaoxuan's place? Get out of the Su family right now!"
"I already told you! Since you chose that old man, I no longer consider you my daughter."
…..
At the Su family's side, Lin Xuan smirked and casually held up his Huawei phone on speaker mode, pointing it toward Su Yan.
But even without this gesture, Su Shengtian's furious voice was loud enough to be heard clearly by everyone in the room.
Grandpa…
Is his conflict with Auntie really this bad?
Standing by the doorway, Su Fan's expression was extremely complex.
He never expected that upon his return, the relationship between his two closest family members had deteriorated this much.
Back when his parents were still alive, although Auntie had a bit of a temper, the Su family was overall still harmonious and united, standing together against external threats.
But now, five years had passed, and everything had changed…
Thinking about this, Su Fan felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Pain!
So much pain!!!
…..
On the other side.
Hearing her father's furious roar, Su Yan instinctively shrank her neck, feeling a bit afraid.
But she still mumbled in protest:
"Dad! Listen to me! You've been fooled by this kid's act!"
"He deliberately used 3.5 billion to gain your trust. His real goal is to take over our entire Su family! He's a wolf in sheep's clothing!!!"
"And my bank account has been frozen. Unfreeze it now! Don't let outsiders manipulate you—I'm your real daughter!"
As Su Yan spoke, her confidence grew, and her voice became louder.
She pointed at her own eyes and glared viciously at Lin Xuan, as if saying she had already seen through his tricks.
But what angered her even more…
Lin Xuan just shrugged nonchalantly, put his phone down on the bed, and went back to holding his fiancé's hand…
"Trying to take over the Su family? Su Group was always meant to be inherited by Xiaoxuan and his wife. Why would he need to scheme for it?"
At this moment, a cold sneer came from the phone's speaker.
"And not only did I freeze your bank account…"
"I have also dismissed you from your position as Executive CEO of the company and halted all collaboration between Su Group and that useless company of Wang Defa's."
"In any case, from now on, the two of you can forget about leeching off Su Group anymore."
What?!!
"......"
Su Yan's expression changed drastically, full of disbelief.
It was one thing to be kicked out of the company, but now he was also cutting ties with Wang Ge's business?!
She knew…
Wang Ge's newly opened company relied almost entirely on contracts from Su Group.
If all collaborations were suddenly canceled, wouldn't that mean bankruptcy?!
How ruthless!!!
"Dad! Are you insane?! What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm your biological daughter! Why are you treating me like this???"
"You give your heart and soul to Qingge and that little brat, but when it comes to me, you're so cold and heartless. You're so biased! Do you think you can face my mother in the afterlife?!"
Su Yan's face turned red with emotion, her voice trembling.
But after a brief silence, a disdainful sneer came from the other end of the phone.
"You have the nerve to mention your mother?!"
"If your mother were alive, she'd probably want to shove you back into her womb!"
"Hmph! I, Su Shengtian, have been wise my entire life, yet I ended up with a daughter like you—completely blinded by an old man's tricks!"
"I just don't get it—what do you even see in him? That he's old enough? Or that he doesn't bathe???"
Hearing these words, Su Yan trembled in fury, as if she had been struck by lightning.
She never expected Su Shengtian to be this ruthless, openly mocking and humiliating her.
Unable to hold back, Su Yan argued desperately:
"Dad! You don't understand love at all! As the saying goes, 'Freedom is precious, but love is even more valuable!'"
"Love knows no age. Wang Ge treats me well, and I love him—isn't that enough?"
"You're my father! Why can't you just give me your blessing? Shouldn't you be happy that your daughter has found true love and is living a good life?"
Seeing that even now Su Yan was speaking so self-righteously, Su Shengtian became even more enraged and exploded: "True love my ass! You'd throw the entire Su family away for your so-called 'love'?"
"When Qingge was first diagnosed as a vegetative patient, I was devastated, so I entrusted you with the position of Executive CEO."
"I thought that if you could manage the company well, I wouldn't mind handing over Su Group to you."
"But what did you do, you ungrateful brat???"
"You turned around and used Su Group's resources to set up a new company for that old man, and you funneled company assets into it like free money!!!"
"Because of your stupidity and lack of focus, a batch of expensive medical equipment had major defects!"
"If it weren't for Xiaoxuan stepping in to save the day, Su Group would've already gone bankrupt because of your incompetence!!!"
"And now you have the nerve to say Xiaoxuan is scheming against the family???"
"You still think you deserve a place in Su Group? Do you even deserve it??? You deserve nothing!!!"
The entire room fell silent, filled only with the echoes of Su Shengtian's furious roars.
His words not only stunned Su Yan into silence, but even Lin Xuan couldn't help but give him a mental thumbs-up.
Awesome!
Old Master!
That was some serious firepower~~
Truly the ultimate nemesis of early-stage love-brained fools?!
While everyone in the room was still processing what just happened, Su Yan was completely dumbfounded.
This was the first time…
That she had been so thoroughly humiliated by her father.
But even after all that, Su Yan still refused to believe she was in the wrong and stubbornly defended herself: "Dad, you're exaggerating! That company incident was just an accident! Nobody can be perfect, right? And in the end, nothing bad happened, so why make such a big deal out of it?"
"As for Wang Ge's company, I actually thought it through carefully..."
"Our family is already so rich, losing a little money won't hurt! It's not even a big deal."
"This is just an early investment! You have no idea how talented Wang Ge is. He just needs a chance, a platform."
"As the saying goes, 'With the right wind, a great roc can soar nine thousand miles into the sky.'"
"It's easy to add flowers to a brocade, but rare to offer help in a snowstorm."
"With Wang Ge's talent, he's bound for great success in the future."
"If we just put in a little effort now, once Wang Ge's company is fully developed and has a foothold in Modu, we'll get married."
"By then, our two families will be united in marriage, supporting each other. With our combined strength, we won't even have to fear those top-tier families in Modu!"
"What do you think, Dad? Doesn't my reasoning make perfect sense?"
…..
Su Group Headquarters.
Hearing his daughter's absurd and utterly delusional speech, Su Shengtian ground his teeth so hard they nearly cracked.
The veins on his forehead were bulging.
To suppress his burning rage, he was pressing his fingers into his temples so hard it looked like he might burst a blood vessel.
Finally unable to hold back, he completely lost it: "Shut up, you idiot!!!"
"Since you care so much about that old man, and you're even willing to drain the family's resources for him—"
"Fine! Get the hell out of the Su family right now! You don't deserve to stay here, and you are no longer my daughter!!!"
"I'm calling Liu Juan right now to have her bring people over and throw you out! From now on, don't even dream of stepping foot into the Su family's home again. Damn it, have you completely lost your mind?!!!"
Beep—beep—beep—
At this moment, Su Shengtian was truly so enraged that he lost all control.
He didn't even bother to say another word to Lin Xuan before hanging up the phone.
Because he knew that if he kept listening to Su Yan's nonsense, he might actually get a brain hemorrhage from the sheer frustration…
