Chapter 178 Psychological Struggle
Chapter 178 Psychological Struggle
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the ward are very bright, and there is a small window on top to allow fresh air from outside to enter the room.
At this moment, a cool breeze blew in, and the air was mixed with a faint smell of disinfectant, gently brushing across Su Yanqing's face, giving people a fresh but slightly cold feeling.
"We took this photo not far away after your accident."
The man pointed to the familiar face in the photo and continued.
"You should know this person, right?"
When Su Yanqing heard these words and saw the photo, her eyes immediately locked onto the face, her brows furrowed, as if she was going through a difficult psychological struggle.
The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his expression slowly changed from initial shock to a complicated and sad look. Then he slowly lowered his head and stopped looking at the photo.
"As far as I know, he is Xiao Chuyi's confidant?"
Su Yanqing didn’t know about the relationship between An Mo and the eldest young master of the Xiao family before. She always thought that An Mo was just an ordinary friend of Xiao Chuyi.
At this moment, hearing the man's words, she smiled helplessly, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Maybe."
"At that time, he mysteriously appeared at the scene of the car accident with a few people. It was obvious that he was coming for you. As for his purpose, I don't need to say more, right?"
Su Yanqing clenched her right hand into a fist, her palm covered in cold sweat. "Are you saying that An Mo received instructions from Xiao Chuyi and wants to find an opportunity to harm me?"
"Even if he doesn't attack you directly, he may intend to solve the problem by restricting your freedom or other means. As long as you are alive, it will affect the marriage between Xiao Chuyi and Su Xiyao."
Su Yanqing frowned, remained silent, her heart full of doubts.
"I know you think Xiao Chuyi wouldn't be so cruel. Then, please take a look at this document, and you will understand after reading it."
The man handed Su Yanqing a piece of information.
"Just over half a month ago, shortly after you met with misfortune, Xiao Chuyi took swift action and allowed Su Xiyao to live with the Xiao family. Moreover, during this short period of time, he gradually took over the business originally managed by Xiao Anxun."
"Now, he has become the true heir to the Xiao family. Obviously, all of this has been carefully planned for a long time. Once the time is right, he will take over the family business and marry Su Xiyao as his bride. After that, he also plans to further expand his sphere of influence through marriage with the Chen family."
Hearing this, Su Yanqing could no longer suppress the anger in her heart!
"enough!"
She slammed the documents onto the table beside her and stared at the person standing in front of her with wide eyes. "You told me this after doing something like this. It's definitely not just because you want to do good things, right? If you want to gain something, just say it directly."
The man cast a cold gaze at Chen Yue.
The latter nodded in greeting and quickly walked to Su Yanqing's side. He carefully sat down at the window seat, gently shook Su Yanqing's hand and said, "Sister Yanqing, since it has come to this, let me introduce myself again."
Chen Yue first pointed at herself gently and said, "I am the only daughter of the second branch of the Chen family, and the person standing over there is my biological brother Chen Jin."
Su Yanqing didn't show much expression on her face in response to this sudden confession and revelation. She just nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Chen Yue continued to explain, "From the beginning, the elders of the first branch have always controlled the power of the Chen family. For many years, they have used their authority to constantly bully and oppress us from the second branch. This time, they went to great lengths to find their granddaughter Su Xiyao so that she could become the legal heir and take control of all the wealth."
"So, according to you, the real reason you're doing all this is to prevent Old Madam Chen from officially accepting Su Xiyao as the next heir, fearing that in the end, she won't even have a little bit of property left in her hands?"
Su Yanqing glanced at the two of them with a mocking look.
Her years of experience in the wealthy and powerful families have made her fully aware of the cruel struggles hidden beneath the glamorous appearance.
"I know you're not particularly particular about material pursuits."
At this moment, Chen Yue lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists. "Actually, it's not entirely about money. It's because after so many years of oppression, even my grandmother lost her life..."
At this point, Chen Yue's eyes welled up with tears. She looked at Su Yanqing with sadness and resentment, her tone filled with helplessness. "My grandmother always loved me and my brother. Her death was not from natural causes; someone deliberately harmed her. Now, they even want to deprive us of all the wealth that grandmother left us. If you were in our shoes, could you tolerate such injustice?"
It has to be said that these words touched Su Yanqing's heart.
These words seemed to penetrate her heart directly and resonate deeply with her.
She couldn't help but think of her situation in the Su family for many years, which was an indescribable depression and helplessness.
Having grown up in the Su family, wasn't she also working hard but getting nothing in return?
Despite her countless efforts and contributions in the Su family, she never seemed to get the recognition and rewards she deserved.
This feeling of unfairness has made it difficult for her to heal the pain in her heart.
Her expression relaxed slightly.
Her originally tense face gradually softened, and her eyes became less hostile.
At this moment, Su Yanqing's mood seemed to have changed slightly.
After a long moment, he took a deep breath and looked at the two of them: "So what do you want me to help with?"
Although her words were calm, they revealed a hint of expectation. She wanted to hear more substantive content to confirm whether these two people were trustworthy.
"join us."
Chen Yue shook Su Yanqing's hand again, looking at her with sincere eyes. "Before returning home, we carefully studied your deeds. When you were at the Su family, you made the company stronger, so we admire your talents. We know you can bring new strength to our team."
Chen Jin agreed: "That's true. Besides that, we value your lack of complicated calculations, which makes it easier for us to collaborate successfully."
He added, his tone full of sincerity, obviously hoping to touch the other person's heart.
Su Yanqing sneered at this: "Naive? You mean I'm easily deceived, right?"
Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and her voice was filled with sarcasm, and she obviously thought the other person's words were a bit ridiculous.
Chen Jin was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Faced with such a sharp rebuttal, he could only choose to remain silent.
Su Yanqing didn't want to say anything more.
