Chapter 14: Pretend I Never Came Tonight

Su Yiren arrived at the hospital just as she saw Su Changhua walking out of the elevator.

The two met, both surprised yet unsurprised.

Su Changhua’s face was expressionless, but his words were still arrogant and overbearing, assuming the posture of an elder.

“I’ve seen Lu Yunting, he’s fine. Tell him, Wang Meng wasn’t intentional, let’s just forget about this little thing.”

Su Yiren’s anger was instantly ignited, she sneered and retorted:

“Little thing? Second Uncle, does it have to be a life lost before it becomes a big deal?”

“This was all your fault to begin with, if you hadn’t fired him, he wouldn’t have done such an extreme thing. Besides, you weren’t hurt, why are you still making a fuss!”

“But Lu Yunting’s arm almost got crippled!” Su Yiren frowned,

“If I had chopped off Wang Meng’s arm, would you be so magnanimous?”

“How can you talk like that, child!” Su Changhua scolded with a stern face,

“We’re family, do you really want to drive him to his death?”

Su Yiren took a deep breath, her tone aggressive,

“When he was holding a knife against me, ready to kill or maim me, I didn’t see him treat me like family. If I had been killed by him then, I doubt you would be this concerned now.”

“Su Yiren! What kind of attitude is that!” Su Changhua’s beard trembled with anger, he was about to point his finger at her nose and scold her,

“I’m letting it slide today because you share the ‘Su’ surname, you better not make a big deal out of this, otherwise…”

He paused, glancing at the people walking back and forth around him, his voice lowered,

“Don’t even think about having a good life at Su Corporation.”

Su Yiren was amused by his words.

Su Changhua asked with a cold face, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at your age, yet you’re so naive.”

Su Yiren raised her eyebrows slightly, seeing Su Changhua about to explode, she suppressed her smile, stared into his eyes and said:

“Don’t forget, I’m the current majority shareholder of Su Corporation, with absolute control. If you want to spend your twilight years in peace at Su Corporation, you better not go too far.”

“You!” Su Changhua pointed at her nose, his finger trembling with anger.

Si Hong stepped forward, shielding Su Yiren behind him, his gaze behind the lenses was sharp as a knife, but his tone was unusually gentle,

“Mr. Su, you better calm down.”

Su Changhua looked at Si Hong, though he didn’t want to admit it, he was secretly afraid of this man.

He always felt that this man was wearing a human skin mask, behind that smiling face, there was definitely unimaginable horror and ruthlessness.

For the past two years, he had been managing the company on behalf of the mysterious new CEO, initially he wasn’t favored by everyone, but his series of actions and iron-fisted approach gradually instilled fear in the hearts of everyone.

With his ability, he was definitely not just a special assistant.

Su Changhua quickly calmed down, his mind changed, he suddenly sneered and said to Su Yiren:

“You want to use Wang Meng’s matter to deal with me? Don’t even dream about it! Lu Yunting said he won’t pursue it anymore, what else can you do?”

Su Yiren’s eyes narrowed slightly, watching Su Changhua leave with a cold smile, his eyes filled with determination.

She gently pursed her lips, looked up at the constantly changing numbers on the elevator, her heart filled with complexity.

Lu Yunting really agreed to a settlement.

She couldn’t believe that he would be willing to sell that piece of land, regardless of his own health.

Is profit really more important than everything else?

Si Hong stood beside her, softly asking:

“Are you going up?”

“Yes,” Su Yiren decisively pressed the elevator button,

“Why wouldn’t I? He’s my savior, I have to go visit him, out of courtesy.”

Si Hong glanced at her empty hands, raised his eyebrows,

“Visiting empty-handed?”

Su Yiren was taken aback, “What else? Should I buy him a wreath?”

In the ward, Lu Yunting had just opened his eyes when he heard the sound of high heels clicking, getting closer and closer from outside the door.

He was about to instruct Zhou Tong to quiet down the people outside, when he saw a graceful figure walking in from the door.

The words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat, he looked at her coldly for two seconds, and asked impatiently:

“What are you doing here?”

Su Yiren was holding a bunch of red carnations upside down, she casually threw them on the bedside table,

“Visiting you.”

As she spoke, she pulled a chair over and sat in front of Lu Yunting.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, when she saw Lu Yunting’s arm wrapped in layers of bandages, and the transparent medicine dripping slowly in the medicine bottle, her heart still felt a pang of guilt.

Lu Yunting lay in bed, his eyes swept over the bouquet on the bedside table, then looked at Su Yiren’s calm expression, he inexplicably felt a surge of anger, prompting him to make a sarcastic remark,

“You just sent off one Su, now you’re here, your family is really righteous.”

Since he brought up Su Changhua, Su Yiren didn’t want to hide anything anymore, she simply laid it out,

“I don’t want to let Wang Meng off easily, I hope you can cooperate.”

“Why?”

He didn’t ask “why,” he asked “why,” which made Su Yiren pause for a moment.

But she instantly understood the challenge in his words.

Her heart sank slowly, Su Yiren’s gaze dimmed, her voice calm and cold,

“Because I’m the Susan you want to renew the contract with.”

Lu Yunting motioned for Zhou Tong to raise the head of the bed, he leaned back against the bed, looking at Su Yiren, he said slowly and deliberately,

“But I remember, you’ve already used that name to exchange for something else.”

“Lu Yunting! You were the one who wanted a divorce! Why are you constantly using divorce as leverage now?”

Lu Yunting wasn’t angered, he even felt a sense of pleasure at Su Yiren’s annoyance.

He didn’t understand where this pleasure came from, he just felt that this vivid expression on Su Yiren’s face was so harmonious, so familiar.

She was no longer the obedient, non-existent wife, but a woman with blood, flesh, and emotions.

“I didn’t use it as leverage,” Lu Yunting’s tone was playful,

“You were the one who proposed, if you want to renew the contract, get a divorce first. What, just one afternoon, and the great designer has forgotten?”

Seeing Su Yiren’s lips tightly pursed, her face was very unpleasant, Lu Yunting’s eyes became even more smug.

He touched his injured arm, and said slowly and deliberately,

“I’m a businessman, I hate making a loss; but I’m also a lenient person, I can give you two choices.”

His deep eyes looked at Su Yiren and asked,

“Use the renewal to exchange for a divorce, or use the renewal to exchange for my cooperation?”

Lenient your ass!

Su Yiren really wanted to swear!

How had she never noticed that Lu Yunting was such a cunning and despicable person!

Before, she only knew he was cold and heartless, taciturn, until today she realized: This guy is a cunning fox in wolf’s clothing!

Damn it!

Su Yiren was completely angered by his casual attitude.

She stood up abruptly, looking down at Lu Yunting, she answered slowly and firmly,

“No need to choose, pretend I never came tonight.”
