The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Killing Two Birds With One Stone

Su Yurou’s red lips were now pale. Her slender body was trembling slightly and her brows were knitted as if she was in great pain!

“Ouch, it hurts a lot, my baby…my baby…”

Su Yurou’s tears kept flowing. She absent-mindedly touched her stomach, as if whispering to herself or praying that her baby was fine.

There was an uproar all around. They had not expected Su Yurou to be pregnant as she had just gotten married to Gu Zihang. Was it a shotgun marriage?

Furthermore, now that Su Yurou, who was pregnant, had been pushed by Su Wan’s subordinate, it would definitely be a much talked-about topic if this news were to spread.

Su Jiankai, who was standing by the side with a dark face, saw how his daughter forced herself to bear with the pain. His expression changed and he immediately realized what was going on. He quickly played his part in aid of Su Yurou.

Su Jiankai walked quickly toward Su Yurou and knelt down. He was anxious as he asked, “Yurou, are you alright? How’s the baby?”

Su Yurou was breathing rapidly. She looked fiercely at Su Wan as she gnashed her teeth in anger, “Su Wan is very cruel! She wanted her subordinate to murder my child…my baby is so pitiful…”

Su Wan’s bright eyes swept across Su Yurou. Her face darkened and her eyes were filled with suspicion. “You’re pregnant?”

Based on Su Yurou’s character, it was weird how she did not create a lot of hype when she bore Gu Zihang’s child…

Hearing this, Su Yurou froze. To avoid people from seeing her guilt, she stood up and there was a piercing scream.

“Would I use my child to deceive you? …Ouch, my stomach really hurts…”

As she said this, her eyes were filled with tears. She looked sad and miserable, just like a gardenia damaged by wind and rain.

Su Wan hesitated for a moment but she still thought Su Yurou was acting. Su Yurou was a natural actress. Su Wan had experienced loss and had no trust towards Su Yurou.

A light flashed through Su Wan’s eyes. She made a prompt decision and said, “Since you keep saying your stomach is painful and it’s inconvenient for pregnant women to walk, we’ll get you a doctor now!”

Which mother who truly loved her baby would just clamor? If she had really hurt her abdomen, she would have gone to the hospital!

Su Wan did not ponder if Su Yurou’s pregnancy was real or fake. This was something for Gu Zihang to worry about. Su Wan’s intuition told her that Su Yurou was using her pregnancy as an excuse to say she had hurt her stomach.

When Su Yurou heard that Su Wan wanted to call for a doctor, Su Yurou’s expression changed. She didn’t want to suffer loss after failing to take advantage of her pregnancy to frame Su Wan. She unconsciously retorted, “No, I don’t trust the doctor you call. What if he or she shields you?”

Su Wan sneered immediately after hearing this and was even more certain that Su Yurou was feigning.

“Doctors have their own ethics and medical standards. Su Yurou, you think too highly of me.”

Su Yurou looked anxiously at her father and then looked around the room. Her eyes were red and her beautiful face looked pitiful.

“My stomach does not hurt that much now. I hope the shareholders’ meeting would not be delayed because of my private matter. I’m sorry, I’ve wasted so much of your time.”

Everyone started gazing at one another for a while. It seemed Su Yurou was feigning, for why else would she not allow Su Wan to call the doctor?

After a few sighs, the shareholders returned to their seats. Su Yurou was supported by her father and they too returned to their seats.

Su Jiankai sent Su Yurou back to her seat and walked toward the chairperson’s seat in front.

Su Wan smiled coldly as she watched the father and daughter.

Su Wan took big steps toward Su Jiankai. She darted a glance at his pale face and with a loud voice, said, “Uncle, you’re at the wrong seat.”

Su Jiankai became angry. His old face was tinted with red and white alternately. “Yurou has taken a step back just now. Don’t you go overboard, Su Wan!”

Su Wan looked steadily at Su Jiankai. “Huh, you know very well who took a step back. This is the shareholders’ meeting, not a performance stage for you and your daughter!”

When Su Jiankai saw Su Wan’s scorn, he was taken aback and wanted to retort.

However, never had he expected the other shareholders to speak out.

“Mr. Su, do step down. Ms. Su Wan is the biggest shareholder!”

“That’s right. It’s almost nine o’clock now and we’ve not started the meeting. Our time is very precious!”

“Don’t argue if you don’t have enough shares!”

***

That moment, Su Jiankai finally understood that one would be bullied in times of loss of power!

The few people who usually flattered him had started to reprove him.

Su Jiangkai stared at those who swayed with the wind but they too glared back at him, reluctant to show weakness. There was a throbbing pain in Su Jiankai’s heart. He sighed and finally sat on the seat beside the chairperson’s silently.

Su Wan saw Su Jiankai’s back. It was as if he had grown ten years older. A cold smile of disdain appeared on her lips.

Su Jiankai was a man. He only knew how to enjoy his honor and glory but had no courage to bear failure. He was destined to lose!

When Su Yurou saw her father sitting next to her, she clenched her teeth tightly and her nails almost dug into her flesh.

Good, very good. Su Wan, I’d give it back to you a hundred times for all the humiliation you’ve given our family today.

Su Wan naturally noticed Su Yurou’s grim smile. However, her face was indifferent as she calmly flipped open the summary and planning report of Sheng Yuan Group that Su Jiankai had placed on the table in front of her.

Su Wan browsed through a few pages and let Ah Si pass it to Su Jiankai.

“Uncle, please.”

Su Jiankai wanted to throw the summary and planning report onto the floor but when he thought about other shareholders, he endured and received it from Ah Si.

With hatred, Su Jiankai glared at Su Wan and was silent for two to three seconds. Finally, he stood up with a face full of disgrace.

“Thank you for attending Sheng Yuan Group’s shareholders’ meeting. There are two main motions for discussion on today’s meeting agenda. Let us first look at the summary of work from last year till now. Then, we will look at the recent planning report of Sheng Yuan.”

Su Jiankai read out the summary and planning word by word while Su Wan merely listened silently without any comments.

However, when Su Jiankai mentioned Xicheng Project, a collaborative effort with Gu Group, Su Wan started raising objections.

“Why do we want to collaborate with the Gu Group for Sheng Yuan’s Xicheng project? Isn’t it too careless if it is because of the marriage between your daughter and Gu Zihang?”

Before Su Wan’s words died down, Su Yurou could no longer stand it. She stood up furiously and her eyes were extremely cold.

“Su Wan, you’re too much!”
