No one even knew how Old Master Su found this illegitimate child, but by doing this, Old Master Su is indicating that he is definitely a member of the Su family. At the same time, this also means that he has completely abandoned Su Siyu and his father’s lineage.
This Su Yang is not some half-brother of Su Siyu; he is his father’s younger brother, nearly twenty years younger. He is twenty-three this year, just one year older than Su Siyu. The decades-long exemplary couple’s love story of the Su family’s Old Master and Old Lady has also become a joke.
The Su family’s kinship recognition banquet hasn’t been held yet, but Old Master Su has already brought his newly recognized son to meet Yan Sui.
From Old Master Su’s perspective, his actions were also forced and helpless. Firstly, Su Siyu and his father were truly too rebellious and disrespectful. It was foreseeable that once the foundation built by several generations of the Su family fell into their hands, it wouldn’t take long for them completely to ruin it.
Moreover, Yan Sui’s methods are truly fearsome. In just ten days, the Su family has faced pressure from all sides. He suddenly feels that he is getting old and it’s time to cultivate a truly qualified heir.
Now he brought Su Yang to meet Yan Sui to tell everyone that he has completely abandoned his legitimate son and grandson. He also wants to inform Yan Sui that Su Siyu, who angered Yan, has already been abandoned by the Su family. He hopes to appease Yan Sui’s anger.
In a reception room on the top floor of the Yan Mansion, Yan Sui, Old Master Su, and Su Yang met.
When they met for the first time, Yan Sui and Su Yang both froze for a moment. It was obvious that they recognized each other. This Su Yang was the dancer who gave flowers to Meng Ting at the flea market in Country F. Later, when Meng Ting chased after Yan Yu and got lost, they met again. Yan Sui had a deeper impression of him, so it wasn’t difficult for him to recognize him at this moment.
Su Yang also didn’t expect that the man who took away the person he had a ‘crush at first sight’ on would be Yan Sui from the Yan family. Looking at it this way, it seems he doesn’t have any chance at all.
The stunned expressions on the two people’s faces faded quickly, and Old Master Su didn’t even notice. He continued to introduce the two of them to each other, and then proceeded to discuss how the Su family would compensate the Yan family.
From Yan Sui’s perspective, he could never force the Su family into bankruptcy. It wasn’t a question of whether he could do it or not, but it would be a loss that outweighs the gain. From the standpoint of family businesses, the Su family’s and Yan family’s industries are basically non-overlapping. Even if he took over, it would be hard to see any benefits.
Then there’s reputation. If the Yan family really drives the Su family, who have old ties with them, to bankruptcy because of an illegitimate child, not only will he and the Yan family be criticized, but Meng Ting will be criticized as well. Perhaps the complete downfall of the Su family is inevitable, but not yet.
And this Old Master Su is even willing to change his heir, which shows his determination. From Yan Sui’s perspective, this matter is just a catalyst; he had already planned to bring Su Yang back. One must say that Old Master Su is indeed also a ruthless person.
But how ruthless he is has nothing to do with Yan Sui, and what happens to the Su family, Su Siyu, and Old Lady Su has nothing to do with him. The ties that once existed between the two families have been completely severed after this incident.
They talked for nearly two hours before the old man took Su Yang away. During this time, Su Yang hardly had a chance to speak at all. In fact, for a long time to come, he wouldn’t even be qualified to speak directly with Yan Sui. This is the difference between them.
“The Yan family has produced a remarkable person.”
Old Master Su sighed as he led Su Yang out of the Yan Corporation building. At just twenty-eight years old, he was already so astute and flawless, it made Old Master Su feel a bit ashamed. Such a person could only be a friend, not an enemy. He turned to Su Yang and said, “If possible, try your best to mend the relationship between the Su family and the Yan family.”
“Yes,” Su Yang nodded. He let Old Master Su get in the car first, and then he also got into the car and left.
***
This matter was known by half of the elite circle in Haicheng by the evening, but Su Siyu, the person who should know the most, had just found out.
He muttered the name under his breath for a long time, then suddenly pushed the person beside him away. With a crash, the table in front of them, which was filled with various wines and utensils, was overturned onto the ground.
“Su Siyu, what are you doing?” Various complaints came one after another, and Su Siyu stood up and left the bar directly.
Su Yang, he naturally knew Su Yang, but it was impossible for him to return to the Su family at this time. Ten years, he would only appear ten years later!
Yan Sui was absolutely right; everything will change. This lifetime has become much more terrifying than the previous one. He felt cold, a completely bone-chilling cold, and he felt fear.
He was also afraid of Yan Sui, but he knew that Yan Sui was a person of integrity. His seriousness and indifference were based on certain principles. But Su Yang… he’s just a madman, an incredibly rational madman.
He previously suspected Meng Ting, and now he suspects Su Yang. Otherwise, how could he have returned so soon? And Old Lady Su is also so useless; he had already told her everything, yet she still let Old Master Su bring him back to the Su family.
Su Siyu thought of various reasons, but he never considered the possibility that it was his own doing. Su Yang returned home early because he had provoked Yan Sui and the Yan family first. The actions of him and his father, combined with the pressure the Yan family exerted on the Su family, ultimately led Old Master Su to make the decision to bring Su Yang back.
Su Siyu was driving, and for a moment, he didn’t even know where he was going. He didn’t want to see his dad right now, and he didn’t want to go back to the apartment near the university. He just drove aimlessly and unexpectedly stopped in front of a villa in the West City.
This is the place where he lived after his divorce from Yan Sui, the residence that Yan Sui had given him, and also the last thing he managed to keep from Su Yang under Yan Sui’s protection. He got out of the car and instinctively entered a few passwords, but it showed that the password was incorrect.
He entered the number twice again, but it was still wrong. The alarm went off, and only then did he leave the villa.
In fact, if he came a few days earlier, the password was correct, but he exposed his own special vulnerabilities to Yan Sui. Naturally, Yan Sui wouldn’t be unprepared. He wasn’t sure what Su Siyu knew, but he had changed all the passwords and some places where important items were stored.
There are even some things he might not be aware of; Yan Sui is making arrangements just in case. If he doesn’t harbor any ill intentions, that’s fine, but if he does, he will definitely stumble again, and perhaps this time he will truly be beyond redemption.
He left the villa with a sense of loss, but it wasn’t long before Yan Sui also found out that he had been to the West City villa.
Yan Sui hung up the phone and met Meng Ting’s gaze. He turned his head and kissed the person beside him before speaking, “You heard correctly, it’s indeed about Su Siyu. He went to the West City.”
Yan Sui remembered that Meng Ting didn’t know much about the Yan family’s properties, so he explained again, “We also have a house there.”
Meng Ting nodded, swung his leg over and sat on Yan Sui’s lap. He raised his eyes and asked seriously, “What is he doing at our house?”
Besides his perfumery, Meng Ting’s quick reactions these days are mostly about matters concerning Yan Sui, and naturally, he gets jealous just as quickly[mfn]這醋自然也吃得飛快了 (zhè cù zì rán yě chī dé fēi kuài le): lit. this vinegar is also eaten very fast. T/N: I just thought this phrase sounds really funny and want to share it with you 😆.[/mfn].
Yan Sui originally felt a bit uncomfortable, but seeing Meng Ting like this, he completely forgot about the discomfort. He slowly leaned closer, and Meng Ting’s eyes widened slightly. Then he instinctively moved closer and kissed Yan Sui.
After Yan Sui finished kissing him, Meng Ting’s jealous feelings couldn’t be rekindled. He moved his body, wanting to sit back on Yan Sui’s leg, but was held down by Yan Sui. “Don’t move…”
Meng Ting’s expression paused for a moment, then he nodded, not daring to move. After all, they were still in the study.
“He couldn’t get in, I had someone change the code and the lock,” Yan Sui said, pulling Meng Ting closer. His lips brushed against Meng Ting’s cheek, creating an indescribable ambiguity, but what he said was still as serious as ever.
“The son that the Su family just recognized is named Su Yang. His abnormal behavior is probably related to this matter. You…”
“What?” Meng Ting tilted his head slightly, wanting to listen more attentively.
“Nothing,” Yan Sui gently shook his head, then rested his chin on Meng Ting’s shoulder, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes. Meng Ting and he were already so close; his worries seemed a bit absurd.
Meng Ting didn’t care about Su Yang at all. His hand slid to Yan Sui’s back and gently stroked it, then he started talking.
“Today I took Dahuang and Maoqiu to my cousin’s place. They are both fine now. They won’t need to take medicine or see a doctor anymore.”
Meng Ting’s world is actually very small, only able to accommodate a few people and a few things—Yan Sui, Dahuang, and Maoqiu included, as well as perfume. Beyond that, there really isn’t much more.
“You can’t get sick because of me anymore. I will worry, I will be sad, and I will be scared…” Meng Ting didn’t dare to say these words during Yan Sui’s illness. He also knew that he always easily fell into negative emotions, and he didn’t want to bring these to Yan Sui.
But at this moment, it was still necessary to remind him, yet after he finished speaking, Yan Sui remained unresponsive for a long time. He had no choice but to ask again, “Yan Sui, did you hear me?”
“Mm,” Yan Sui replied, then turned his head and took Meng Ting’s earlobe into his mouth. Caught off guard, Meng Ting trembled all over. Yan Sui immediately chuckled softly, then suppressed his laughter and answered Meng Ting seriously, “I heard you. I won’t do it again.”
If he can’t even guarantee his own health, how can he expect to be with Meng Ting for a long time?
Meng Ting endured the lingering strangeness in his ears, nodded, and said, “That’s the right way to behave.”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his earlobe was once again taken into his mouth. Yan Sui’s tongue scraped against the hollow of his ear, causing Meng Ting’s entire face to flush red. The seriousness and earnestness on his face were completely washed away. He quietly reminded, “This is the study…”
Yan Sui responded softly again, but he showed no intention of stopping licking the person’s sensitive spots.
Yan Sui’s office space is quite spacious, so it’s not a problem for Meng Ting to come over and sit for a while. However, when it comes to doing such things, it’s not quite enough. Yan Sui’s patience is usually quite good, but it’s not quite enough when it comes to Meng Ting.
He kissed Meng Ting into a daze, then went back to his room to get the essentials. His expression seemed normal, but his subsequent actions were noticeably more hurried. Meng Ting came to his senses, kissed Yan Sui’s cheek, and still had time to think of questions to ask.
“Why do we have to be here? We have enough time to go back to our room…”
Meng Ting looked at Yan Sui with a bit more affection in his eyes; his family Yan Sui was being silly again.
Yan Sui pressed the back of Meng Ting’s head. He was speechless and could only kiss Meng Ting until he was confused so he could continue.
