Chapter 130: Chapter 119: Grievance

"Bang, bang—"

As Lin Ao Feng’s words had just fallen, without waiting for Su Hongyuan to express his stance, the office door was knocked.

"Come in." Su Hongyuan frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with his subordinate interrupting him at this time.

Creak!

At the sound, the door opened, and in walked Su Yuxin, dressed in a professional suit.

"Grandpa..."

Upon entering, Su Yuxin habitually greeted Su Hongyuan, but as she started to call out the word "grandpa," she caught sight of Lin Ao Feng.

In an instant, her complexion changed drastically!

"Lin Ao Feng, according to the content of the life-and-death contract, you and Doctor Ye are not to hold each other accountable after the contest, nor can you seek revenge; otherwise, you would be violating the rules set by the Yanhuang Organization!"

After her shock, Su Yuxin looked at Lin Ao Feng with an icy expression and said coldly, "I warn you, if you dare to cause trouble in our Lv Hu Group, I will report to Master Jiang at once!"

"Lady Su, you’ve misunderstood; my visit to the Lv Hu Group today is not to cause trouble."

Looking at Su Yuxin’s cold demeanor, Lin Ao Feng felt a stronger desire to conquer, yet he did not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled elegantly, like a perfect gentleman.

"Then what are you here for?" Su Yuxin’s tone remained icy cold, as if Lin Ao Feng was an enemy in her eyes.

"Your grandfather will tell you."

Lin Ao Feng rose to his feet, walked up to Su Yuxin, and gazed at her indifferent yet captivating face, his smile undiminished, "Additionally, Lady Su, you are very charming when you’re angry, and I quite like that."

"Please show some respect, and furthermore, you are not welcome here, so leave immediately!" Though unaware of Lin Ao Feng’s purpose, Su Yuxin bluntly issued an eviction order.

"We’re about to become one family; why act like this?"

Lin Ao Feng smirked roguishly, then left the office without looking back, but left behind a self-confident and arrogant remark, "Mr. Su, I await your reply."

One family?

As Lin Ao Feng’s words echoed in her ears, Su Yuxin stood petrified once more, only regaining her senses after several seconds. With a puzzled look, she turned to Su Hongyuan and asked, "Grandpa, what’s going on? What’s he here for?"

"To propose marriage," Su Hongyuan said with a complex expression.

"Wha... what?" Su Yuxin was shocked, "He came to you to propose marriage??"

"Yes." Su Hongyuan nodded, "He said he likes you, so he came to propose to me."

"He had someone hurt Jin Emperor, and even attempted to harm Doctor Ye, and now he comes to propose marriage to you?" Seeing Su Hongyuan’s nod of confirmation, Su Yuxin trembled with rage and cursed angrily, "He is too shameless, completely outrageous!"

Sensing Su Yuxin’s emotions were getting rather excited, Su Hongyuan remained silent.

"Grand... grandpa, have you agreed to him?"

Su Hongyuan’s silence made Su Yuxin feel something was amiss, and she asked tremblingly, her eyes filled with horror and rage.

"Not yet." Su Hongyuan shook his head.

"What do you mean ’not yet’?" Su Yuxin was immediately anxious, "Are you actually considering agreeing to him?"

"Yuxin, don’t get worked up. Calm down and listen to me," Su Hongyuan frowned.

"Grand... grandpa, you know that I like Ye Fan. Our Su family owes him so much, so much that I don’t know how to repay it."

Fearing Su Hongyuan was equivocating and might agree to Lin Ao Feng’s proposal, Su Yuxin’s eyes reddened with intense emotion, "So please don’t force me, okay? If you insist on making me marry that scum..."

"Yuxin, listen to me!"

Seeing Su Yuxin’s extreme emotional instability, Su Hongyuan hurriedly interrupted, trying to stabilize her mood first, "I have not agreed to him."

"Then have you rejected him?" Su Yuxin asked, her eyes red, biting her lip.

"Yuxin, you don’t understand the true nature of the matter. Let’s put it this way, this is of great importance; it could even determine the life and death of our Su family."

Su Hongyuan frowned and said word by word, "We must hold a family meeting to discuss and decide on the final outcome!"

"There’s nothing to discuss!"

Hearing Su Hongyuan’s words again, Su Yuxin closed her eyes in agony, took a deep breath, and said, "Even if it kills me, I will not marry that scum!"

"Yuxin!"

Perhaps dissatisfied with Su Yuxin’s emotional approach, Su Hongyuan suddenly snapped.

Ignoring him, Su Yuxin bit her lip and walked briskly out of the office, letting her tears fall freely.

"Sigh!"

Seeing this, Su Hongyuan, feeling irritated, lit a cigarette to try to calm down with the help of nicotine.

Half a minute later, Su Hongyuan stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette and then picked up his phone to call his son, Su Ming, and said in a tone that brooked no argument, "Get in your car and return to Hanghu immediately, try to get home by eight o’clock tonight; we are holding a family meeting at that time!"

"Dad, what happened?"

On the other end of the line, Su Ming’s curiosity surged, as he was in Donghai and wondered what had happened to make Su Hongyuan so serious about asking him to come back to Hanghu in such a hurry.

"I’ll tell you when you get back!"

Su Hongyuan said decisively and hung up the phone before dialing his daughter Su Qin’s number.

"Dad."

After ten seconds, the call connected, and the voice of Su Liuli’s mother, Su Qin, was heard through the receiver.

"Xiao Qin, something big has happened at home. We’re holding a family meeting at eight o’clock tonight, and you must hurry back!" Su Hongyuan said sternly.

"Okay."

Unlike Su Ming, Su Qin didn’t press for details and simply agreed cleanly and decisively.

After hanging up the phone again, Su Hongyuan had intended to call Su Yuxin’s office, but on second thought, he realized that Su Yuxin’s emotions were probably still unstable, so he abandoned the idea and decided to wait until it was almost time to get off work to inform her.

Just as Su Hongyuan had anticipated, Su Yuxin’s emotions were indeed unstable.

Upon returning to her office, she didn’t work with the focused dedication of usual days, but sat powerlessly against the back of her chair, staring blankly at the ceiling as tears slid down freely.

Tears traced paths over her gorgeously pretty face, moistened the light makeup, and dripped into her mouth, tasting a bit salty, but mostly bitter.

She only felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart, and it hurt... it hurt so much!

So much so that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stop the tears streaming from her eyes.

"Bang bang—"

Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door startled Su Yuxin out of her sadness.

"Huff... Huff..."

Quickly, Su Yuxin wiped the tears from her face, then took two deep breaths in succession, trying to calm herself down in the shortest time possible—she didn’t want her subordinates to see her vulnerable side!

"Come in."

A few seconds later, when Su Yuxin had managed to control her emotions, she spoke slowly, although her voice was slightly hoarse.

Creak!

Secretary Yang Miaomiao entered, holding a folder as she always did, walking towards Su Yuxin with a smile on her face: "Mr. Su."

"What is it?"

Within a short time, Su Yuxin had completely reverted to normal, showing no trace of sadness on her face, yet the tear stains remained, and her eyes were faintly red.

Yang Miaomiao stood still, momentarily shocked upon seeing the tear stains on Su Yuxin’s face, her expression turning into one of utter surprise!

In Yang Miaomiao’s memory, Su Yuxin, known as the Iron Lady, was decisive and resolute in her actions, never hesitating, never shrinking back when faced with difficulties, and never getting downhearted in the face of setbacks. Her toughness was so formidable that even some of the male employees were in awe.

And yet, there was Su Yuxin looking as if she had just been crying, which undoubtedly sent a shock through Yang Miaomiao’s heart.

"Assistant Yang, is there something you need?" Su Yuxin asked again, upon noticing Yang Miaomiao’s reaction.

"Mr. Su... What’s wrong with you?" Su Yuxin’s words pulled Yang Miaomiao back from shock, and she looked at Su Yuxin with concern instead of answering.

"I’m alright."

Su Yuxin shook her head, a flash of pain crossing her eyes, while her face was perfectly masked, so convincingly that Yang Miaomiao even questioned whether she had seen incorrectly.

"Mr. Su, this is the progress report for the phase one project of Binhe New District; please have a look."

Half-believing and half-doubtful, Yang Miaomiao handed over the documents to Su Yuxin, seeing the tear stains on Su Yuxin’s face more clearly now, confirming that Su Yuxin had indeed been crying.

"Just place it here; you can go now," Su Yuxin said, taking the documents without altering her expression.

"Alright."

Yang Miaomiao hesitated as if wanting to say more, but eventually, she gave up on asking further—although she was a trusted assistant to Su Yuxin, their relationship was still that of a superior and subordinate, not yet to the point where they could share everything.

What exactly happened to Mr. Su?

Why was she crying?

Full of questions, Yang Miaomiao left Su Yuxin’s office, walking while pondering the intrigues behind the scene, but she couldn’t come up with an explanation.

Should she ask Ye Fan about it?

Shaking her head slightly, Yang Miaomiao decided not to dwell on it. Her attention then shifted as she noticed that Ye Fan’s office door was open, and she strode directly into his office.

"Hello, Assistant Yang." Ye Fan had a good impression of Yang Miaomiao since they had shared an office space before, and he greeted her warmly as she entered.

Yang Miaomiao didn’t exchange pleasantries with Ye Fan, but got straight to the point: "Divine Doctor Ye, Mr. Su seems to have encountered something upsetting."

"How do you know?"

Ye Fan was curious, wondering not only why Su Yuxin would be upset but also how Yang Miaomiao came to learn about it.

"I just went to deliver documents to Mr. Su, and I saw her eyes were red, her face had tear stains, and she seemed like she just finished crying," said Yang Miaomiao truthfully.

"Oh?" Ye Fan was slightly taken aback and without thinking, he got up and said, "I’ll go take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan didn’t wait for Yang Miaomiao to respond and left his office, heading towards Su Yuxin’s office.

Soon enough, Ye Fan arrived at the door of Su Yuxin’s office, gently knocked, and only entered after hearing Su Yuxin’s voice from inside.

Hmm?

In the office, although Su Yuxin had stopped crying, her emotions were still downcast. Seeing Ye Fan enter, she was initially startled, then the sense of grievance she had barely suppressed erupted like a volcano, unable to contain it any longer, her nose tingled, and tears instantly blurred her vision.

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing this, Ye Fan quickly moved to Su Yuxin’s side, bent down, and gently cupped her face.

Without an answer,

Su Yuxin threw herself into Ye Fan’s arms, her face awash with tears.
