Jiang Xuecheng really thought Su Heng was a ridiculous old man.
Not to mention the fact that Su family’s assets were on the wane, today, Sheng Yuan’s market was slightly better only because of the capital injection by Di Chen.
Even when the Su family was at its best in business, Jiang Xuecheng would think little of the Su family’s assets!
However, Su Heng did not think like that.
When Su Wan said she wanted to cut off her relationship with the Su family, Su Heng’s sharp eyes were fixed on her face and what he saw on her face was ridicule.
This unfilial granddaughter!
“I’ve worked hard to raise you up. Now, you want to cut off your relationship with the Su family for the sake of an outsider. Where’s your conscience?”
It seemed uttering this sentence was not enough. Su Heng looked at the young man and young woman who were standing in front of him, nestling against one another with eyes full of resentment.
“You found a random man outside and married him. Have you considered the opinions of your elders? You didn’t get married in a proper manner and there aren’t any betrothal gifts. Aren’t you creating an opportunity for outsiders to turn the Su family into a laughing stock by you just marrying like this?”
“If you aren’t heartless, what are you?”
Word after word of cruelty hit Su Wan’s heart heavily like nails filled with venom.
The piercing pain made her face turn pale and she could hardly stand.
What was wrong with searching for her own happiness?
Su Wan’s lips were pursed and a coldness slowly spread to her insides, making it impossible for her to recover.
Su Heng said that she was giving away the Su’s assets to Jiang Xuecheng by marrying him, but those were unimportant to her and Jiang Xuecheng.
If Su Heng was afraid, she could cut off their relationship and sign an agreement that she wouldn’t inherit a single part of the properties!
What a joke. Didn’t she come today to send a wedding invitation to get her grandparents’ blessing? Was this wrong too?
Just when Su Wan’s face was pale, Su Heng thought Su Wan had been educated by him for so many years and she would more or less feel remorseful. At once, he was elated.
“Wan, I won’t harm you. Don’t see that this man treats you nicely now? He came to you because you’re an orphan girl and he’s determined to seize our family’s assets!”
“Wan, you haven’t had your wedding ceremony yet. Divorce Jiang Xuecheng and you’ll still be a Su family member. Everything will be easy to discuss!”
Jiang Xuecheng smiled a cold smile. He saluted this old man who had one foot in the grave.
How could someone force their granddaughter to divorce in this manner?
When Su Wan heard what Su Heng said, she felt more uneasy. Her eyes widened and her legs gave way making her stagger backward.
Jiang Xuecheng saw that something was wrong with Su Wan. He was afraid she would faint being angry at what her grandfather said. He went forward quickly to support her. He put his hand on her slender shoulder and asked softly, “Wan Wan, are you alright?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was anxious with unconcealed concern.
“Xuecheng, I’m fine.”
Although Su Wan said so, Jiang Xuecheng was still worried.
How could she be fine?
If he knew earlier that her grandfather would be so unreasonable, Jiang Xuecheng would not have brought Su Wan to Jing Yuan.
If such person were to really appear at the wedding banquet, he would make a mess of the happy occasion.
Su Wan forced a smile. She slowly stood steadily with Jiang Xuecheng’s support. Then, she shut her eyes and when she opened her eyes again, there was coldness in her clear eyes.
Su Wan stared at Su Heng. She looked extremely unusually calm.
“Grandfather, this man treats me very well. Unless he does something to hurt or betray me, I’ll never divorce him.”
Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his eyes and whispered in Su Wan’s ears, “Darling wife, how could I ever hurt or betray you in the future?”
Su Wan smiled at Jiang Xuecheng, signaling to him not to interrupt.
When Su Heng saw their intimacy, exasperation arose in his eyes.
“Why can’t you see clearly?”
Su Heng’s face tightened. However, what Su Wan said next made his blood pressure soar and he was almost out of breath.
“Grandfather, since you think my husband and I are eyeing the Su family’s assets, then isn’t my decision of cutting off my relationship with the Su family just be according to your wishes? You can get a lawyer to sign the property agreement. Don’t you worry, I won’t take a single cent.”
As Su Wan spoke, although she tried hard to keep calm, Jiang Xuecheng could see her pain. He couldn’t help stretching out his hand to cover her trembling fingertips.
Jiang Xuecheng knew Su Wan was a person who placed importance in her family. This sentence was uttered not because of a moment of anger.
Besides the reason of Su Heng not differentiating right from wrong in the matter related to Su Jiankai and his daughter, a bigger reason was because of Jiang Xuecheng.
“Good, good, good! You’ve grown up and dare to be disobedient now!”
Su Heng said the word ‘good’ three times, each word heavier than the previous. He was obviously very angry.
Su Heng’s anger rushed to his mind. He looked at Su Wan firmly, his eyes full of disappointment.
How did that lovely and naïve little girl become like this?
“Do you really want to sever your ties with the Su family for the sake of a man you’ve known for less than three months? Su Wan, from today onward, you’re no longer the daughter of the Su family. Don’t you ever tell people that you are related to Su Group in the future!”
Zhao Ruolan did not expect Su Heng to be so ruthless. Flurried, she stood up shakily and tugged Su Heng’s arm.
“Old man, don’t take such small things to heart. Wan spoke a little aggressively today but she’s still a Su family member!”
“Woman! What do you know? Who said she spoke a little aggressively? She looks down upon me, her uncle, and her cousin!”
Su Heng spat hard in the direction of Su Wan, as if he was extremely dissatisfied.
“Such a vicious woman would surely stain the Su family’s pedigree if she were to stay!”
Su Wan stood by the side indifferently. After hearing all that Su Heng said, there was uncontrollable pain in her heart.
“Grandfather, allow me to address you like this. If you want my name out of the family tree, you can, but you must also remove my parents’ names!”
Yes, it wasn’t just Su Heng who was disgusted. She felt more disgusted for her family to be in the same family pedigree as Su Jiankai.
Some hair fell on Su Wan’s forehead and covered part of her deep eyes. No one could see her emotions within.
Was it despair, heartache, or complete indifference?
“You evil creature!”
Su Heng gnashed his teeth. “You and Xie Lan can move out of the Su family but Jianyan is my son and I won’t allow it!”
Hearing this, Su Wan felt cold.
“Did you treat him as your son when you were indifferent to Uncle killing my father?”
