Chapter 71: There are Many Ways to Make Someone Cry (Two in one)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A trace of sarcasm flashed across Su Ye’s cold eyes, and her voice was devoid of warmth. Her words were as sharp as a knife. “I heard from Grandma that the Su and Rong families are family friends. Let’s not talk about the truth of what happened back then. Because the Wang family is cooperating with us, it seems a little shady...”
She was in the middle of her sentence, leaving room for people to speculate, she then said, “I heard that the Rong family used to be a small chain store that sold hardware. Every time they couldn’t make any money, it was my great-grandfather, Su Chenshuo, who helped them out.” she glanced at Rong Shengming’s face, which had turned purple with anger, she sneered. “You shouldn’t forget your roots.”
The banquet hall was in an uproar.
Rong Shengming had never told outsiders about these things. He didn’t want anyone to know that the Rong family had started with the Su family’s handouts. It was embarrassing!
What was even stranger was that this had happened decades ago. How did she know about it?
Rong Shengming took a deep breath and deliberately avoided the main point. He said lightly, “You just said the ‘truth of what happened’. Don’t tell me... you still think that they were wronged?”
Su Ye countered, “It’s been so long since the incident. No one can tell what exactly happened, but you seem to be very sure, Old Master Rong. Don’t tell me you know who leaked the news to the media? It can’t be... It’s you, right?”
Su Ye’s probing made Rong Shengming feel extremely guilty. His eyes flickered left and right, and the expression on his face was stormy. It was extremely ironic.
In the end he harmed his own reputation.
“You!”
Rong Shengming was already prepared to shed all pretense of cordiality with this uncultured girl. However, just as he was about to speak, Su Ye suddenly changed her tone and smiled slyly. “I was being silly. Please don’t be angry. Your health is more important.”
The Rong family was arrogant, Rong Shengming would definitely not admit to what had happened back then. It would be useless to say anything more.
Her blessing was sincere. Rong Shengming’s health was indeed important. He was still waiting for him to tell the whole story of what had happened back then
On this side, Rong Shengming was about to go all out when Su Ye suddenly stopped. It was extremely uncomfortable.
However, Su Ye had already shown weakness. If he continued to be unreasonable, he would only be laughed at by the guests. Wang Qingshen’s attitude was obviously to protect Su Ye, so he could only give up!
In order to ease the awkwardness, the guests quickly opened up other topics, and the atmosphere in the venue eased up again.
Rong Ruo could not understand the deep meaning behind the conversation between Su Ye and her grandfather.
Wang Dongqing comforted her for a long time, and most of the grievances in her heart had disappeared.
This cooperation was given to the Su family. In any case, the Wang family would ultimately be given to Wang Dongqing. And he did not like Su Ye.
In short, Rong Ruo was very confident.
She walked through the crowd to Su Ye’s side, she said in a friendly manner, “That’s true. I said that the painting tools you used weren’t good, and I didn’t mean anything by it. I was purely discussing art. Moreover, I won’t be like the others. Just because of the scandal between your great-aunt and great-grandfather, I won’t look at the two of you in a different light.”
Rong Ruo thought what she said was perfect, but little did she know that they were the opposite.
What was even more ridiculous was that she didn’t notice it at all and continued to say in a sarcastic tone, “That’s true. Speaking of which, it’s also strange. Your great-aunt’s reputation is so bad. Why did your father give you the same name as her? Could it be that...he doesn’t like you?”
Seeing that Su Ye didn’t say anything, she quickly explained, “Omg, I was just being silly. Forget it.”
After saying that, she sat in front of the big screen in a good mood and prepared to watch the introduction of Wang Corporation’s new products with the guests.
Lu Wenbin, who was watching from afar, said, “President, Miss Rong seems to be provoking Miss Su. However, Miss Su Ye doesn’t seem to be angry. She’s quite mild-tempered.”
“You’re wrong.” Bo Yunli looked at Su Ye with a long and distant gaze. His voice was clear and cold. “She’s angry.”
This girl was neither proud nor arrogant, neither humble nor overbearing. Only when Rong Ruo brought up her family’s past were her eyes filled with anger, and her expression filled with malice..
On this side, Su Ye looked at Rong Ruo’s back. The corners of her lips held a hint of a cold smile, and her gaze slowly fell on the computer beside the big screen.
Everyone in the conference hall was on the same Wi-Fi network, and Rong Ruo was no exception to this.
She slowly curled her lips. During this period of time, Rong Ruo had pulled enough nasty tricks behind her back. It was time to teach her a lesson.
She had to find a place to sit first. She was tired from standing.
When she swept her gaze towards the VIP seats, Bo Yunli happened to be looking at her.
Their gazes met halfway across the conference hall.
Most importantly, Bo Yunli was in the VIP area, which was the most upscale and spacious.
The next second, Bo Yunli saw Su Ye walking straight to him and sitting across him without an invitation.
She threw out a question.
“What would you do if you had a daughter like me?”
She didn’t look at him when she was talking. She lowered her head and was typing something on her phone.
Perhaps the incident just now had brought back memories. After her father, Su Chenshuo, was wronged, the entire Su family was shrouded in a haze. Her father’s health deteriorated and he passed away very soon.
What made her feel the most pain was that when her father passed away, she was in a hurry to fight the case and was not by his side. She did not know if her father would blame her. She did not know if her father had left any anything in the inheritance that had yet to be collected from the estate notary.
As she thought about it, she did not know why she had asked such a question.
Actually, she was not waiting for an answer.
However, Bo Yunli, who was being questioned, thought about it seriously. In just a short banquet, Su Ye had already caused several problems. Looking at her actions at this moment, he had a premonition that another storm was coming.
His expression was thought-provoking. “If I had a daughter like you, I might make her cry.”
“Make her cry?”
In the past, Su Chenshuo could not bear to say a word about her, let alone make her cry. Su Ye also clicked her tongue. “Don’t tell me you have a tendency to be violent.”
Bo Yunli was a little tipsy. “There are many ways to make someone cry...”
Su Ye narrowed her eyes. She felt that he was taking advantage of her, but there was no evidence.
Su Ye felt a lot better after being interrupted by him. Her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard a few times.
At the same time, the promotional video behind her suddenly stopped. After a short silence, the guests were suddenly in an uproar.
“What is this?”
“My God, this conversation is so explicit.”
“Is someone’s phone Bluetooth connected to the screen?”
Bo Yunli lifted his eyelids and looked at the screen.
The original promotional video had been cut off. In its place was a phone screen that showed a WeChat chat history.
The first sentence was, “Qi Yu, you will be my man sooner or later. Don’t be anxious. Help me buy some painting tools first. When I help dad get the collaboration with the Wang family, I will definitely reward you.”
Among the many faces with different expressions, the gloomiest one belonged to Wang Dongqing....
