Chapter 145: I'm Really Embarrassed for You Guys
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Looking at the cash, Fan Yumei was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't the vase cost 10 million? How did it become 50,000 after three days?
Fan Yumei laughed lightly. She felt that Su Yan was too funny to actually play this game with her. Zhao Lili then said disdainfully, "Su Yan is really putting on a show. If she can't afford it, just say so. She only managed to raise 50,000 yuan in three days. Does she think that our Zhao family is a beggar?"
Fan Yumei kept quiet. Zhao Lili's words were exactly what she wanted to say. She didn't reach out to take the money. Instead, she looked at Wang Xiaoxue with an unpleasant expression. Her meaning was obvious. "Take this money away. We don't need this tiny bit of money."
'Wang Xiaoxue still smiled and said, "Madam Zhao, Miss Zhao, you may have misunderstood President Su. She didn't treat you as beggars. Instead, she sincerely sent me to deliver the money. The compensation is based on the value of your Hollow Rotating Heart Vase. This price is absolutely fair."
Fan Yumei's face tuned cold, "What do you mean? My husband spent ten million to buy an antique, but it's only worth fifty thousand in her eyes? Oh, I get it now. You're trying to tell us that our Hollow Rotating Heart Vase is fake, right?"
Saying this, Fan Yumei snorted coldly, she then told Wang Xiaoxue disdainfully, "I won't make things difficult for you. You're just an errand girl. Go back and tell Su Yan to stop. She was the one who break the vase. If she can't afford the compensation, just say it. There's no need to let you come here and insult us. Nobody can insult Zhao family. I didn't expect Su Yan would be so shameless. No wonder the Wei family didn't want her."
Hearing Fan Yumei's attack, Wang Xiaoxue's eyes flashed with a cold light. After a conversation with them, she had her own evaluation of the Zhao mother and daughter. This mother and daughter pair was a joke.
They actually dared to say that Su Yan could not afford to compensate them. It was just ten million yuan. They had looked down on Su Yan too much. Looking at their self-righteous faces, Wang Xiaoxue really wanted to tell them about Su Yan's identity. However, her rationality prevailed, and she held back her anger.
"Madam Zhao, you've misunderstood. We really didn't mean to insult your Zhao family. Actually, that Hollow Rotating Heart Vase was originally a pair. One of them was in Miss Su's hands, and the other one was in the hands of another collector. As for the one that you have, it's a fake. If you don't believe it, you can find an expert to appraise it." Wang Xiaoxue explained with a smile.
"What? Are you saying that Su Yan has the real one?" Fan Yumei did not believe it at all. "You guys really dare to say that our vase is a fake. How ridiculous is that. I'm really embarrassed for you guys."
Looking at Wang Xiaoxue's smile, Fan Yumei was about to explode from anger. She actually dared to say that the vase that they spent ten million to buy was fake. This was simply outrageous.
'Wang Xiaoxue knew that they didn't believe it, so she said, "About 15 years ago, the original owners of these vases sold them to his good friend reluctantly, the current chairman of Jin Shang Group, Mr. Zhang Chengguang, for some special reasons. The other one was sold to the master of I Ching, Mr. Han Yukun. The one that President Su collected was bought from Mr. Han Yukun at a high price before she married into the Wei family. For this reason, President Su also bought another modern antique. Only then did Mr. Han reluctantly agree."
Wang Xiaoxue took a deep breath. "According to what we know, the old chairman of the Jin Shang Group has been keeping the Hollow Rotating Heart Vase very well. He rarely takes it out for others to admire. Someone even offered 300 million to buy it, but the old chairman rejected it immediately. The other genuine one is in the hands of President Su. So, the one in your family must not be the genuine one."
Her words were already very tactful. She did not directly say that it was a fake but said that it could not be the genuine one. Even a fool would know what she meant.
"What rubbish is this? Our family spent ten million to buy this antique. Are you saying that it's a fake?" If you can't afford it, just say it. Why are you make up such ridiculous nonsense? Our Zhao family is well-known. Why would we buy a fake and put it at home? You don't even think before you say bold statement." Zhao Lili roared angrily.
"Madam Zhao, Miss Zhao, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can find an expert to examine it." Wang Xiaoxue insisted.
Zhao Lili scattered the cash in Wang Xiaoxue's hand and pushed her out of the villa. "Take your money and get out of our Zhao family. We don't welcome a trash like you."
Chapter 146: I Did It On Purpose

Wang Xiaoxue frowned and said, "Miss Zhao, please don't push me. I'm here to give you compensation, not to fight with you. Also, Madam Zhao, President Su knows that you won't believe me, so she asked me to tell you that the truth can't be faked, and the fake can't be true. She said that President Zhao will give you an answer."
After Wang Xiaoxue left the villa, Zhao Lili was extremely angry. She took out her phone and dialed Wei Shani's number. She thought that Wang Xiaoxue was sent by Su Yan to humiliate their family. How could she stand the humiliation? The vase was worth ten million, but Su Yan only paid fifty thousand yuan for compensation. This was simply ridiculous.
Compared to Zhao Lili's punishment, Wei Shani was not much better. Last time, she was held in detention for half a month. Her life in prison had taught her a good lesson and made her much more obedient. However, there was not a day that she did not hold a grudge against Su Yan. After all, Su Yan was the one who had personally sent her there.
When Zhao Lili told her about the situation, Wei Shani's anger was instantly ignited. This Su Yan was simply too much. She actually dared to bully her best friend. The two of them discussed for a few days, just to think of a way to deal with Su Yan and let her know what retribution was.
Floral Villa.
After Wang Xiaoxue was chased out of Mount Li Manor, she immediately gave Su Yan a call. "I'm sorry, President Su. I didn't complete the mission. The Zhao mother and daughter didn't listen to me at all. I was chased out by them and didn't even give away 50,000 yuan. But I've already said what you wanted me to say."
Su Yan nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I sorry for putting you in a hard spot."
Wang Xiaoxue said, "President Su, please forgive me for being blunt. We don't need to give compensation to these ignorant and rude people at all. Zhao Lili was the one who bullied you first anyway."
Before coming, Su Yan told Wang Xiaoxue about the general situation. She knew that it wouldn't be so easy for Wang Xiaoxue to send the money, so she made some preparations in advance.
"Also, President Su, I can understand them. It would be difficult for anyone to accept the change from ten million yuan to fifty thousand yuan. Moreover, if we were to send fifty thousand yuan as compensation, it would indeed be a little..." Wang Xiaoxue did not finish her last sentence. However, Su Yan could understand her meaning.
"Do you think that I am a little insulting by doing this?" Su Yan laughed.
"Iknow that you're not that kind of person, but others will have misunderstanding." Wang Xiaoxue added.
"Thank you for your trust, but I did this on purpose." Su Yan said frankly.
'Wang Xiaoxue was speechless when she heard Su Yan.
After a short silence, Wang Xiaoxue said with certainty, "I believe in you, because you did everything for a reason. They had bullied you for so long anyway. So, I don't think you've done anything wrong, because you had no other choices."
To be honest, Su Yan was a little touched when she heard Wang Xiaoxue. Wang Xiaoxue really trusted and supported her unconditionally. In fact, she had predicted that Fan Yumei and Zhao Lili would not believe her, that was why she asked Wang Xiaoxue to give the money to them.
Su Yan still remembered every humiliating word and every sentence from the Zhao mother and daughter in her heart. She had held a grudge on both of them.
"How can a country dog like her be a rich lady? She's simply embarrassing the rich ladies!"
"Look at what she's dressing and the makeup she's wearing. It's simply too old-fashioned. Could she be from the countryside?"
"The Wei family is really unlucky. Wei Zhou is really pitiful. How could he be clung onto by a gold-digger like her? I really don't know what kind of sin he has committed."
Up until now, Su Yan still remembered their faces. She was indeed very old-fashioned, but she knew which antique was the real one and which was a fake. She would not treat a fake antique as a treasure.
They would know whether the Zhao family's Hollow Rotating Heart Vase was real or not. She just had to wait for Zhao Yuanshan to appraise it out himself. When that time came, Fan Yumei and Zhao Lili's little faces would probably be red and hurt.
"Tsk, what a pity. It would be great if I could witness the scene where they were being sized up with my own eye." Su Yan thought to herself.
However, she was only thinking about it. If nothing went wrong, she should not have any interaction with the Zhao family in the future. As the saying goes, different paths lead to different strategies.
On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiaoxue was slightly stunned. She felt that her boss had changed and become bad. However, this kind of bad feeling came from the bottom of her heart. Who could reject a beautiful and slightly bad girl?
"No matter what, I still believe in President Su. You must have your own reasons." Wang Xiaoxue said firmly.
Chapter 147: Anonymous Delivery

Su Yan had always been an insurmountable mountain in Wang Xiaoxue's heart. This was also the fundamental reason why she was willing to do whatever Su Yan asked her to do. After all, Su Yan was her idol.
Su Yan joked, "I can't help it. 'm a petty person who likes to hold grudges."
After chatting with Wang Xiaoxue for a while about work matters, Su Yan hung up the phone. She was in a good mood today. Since she had nothing to do, she planned to go to Dragon Emperor Entertainment for a walk. In fact, she had many companies under her name. However, she like to go to the Dragon Emperor Entertainment. After all, Dragon Emperor Entertainment was an entertainment company. The overall work atmosphere over there was relatively relaxed and it seemed very high class.
She would still go there once every ten days to half a month. Moreover, she would only stay for a short while every time she went. She was completely uninvolved and did not do her job properly. There were even many new employees in the company who mistook her for an artist.
After changing her clothes and putting on her makeup, Su Yan spun around in satisfaction in front of the mirror. She felt that she was beautiful. Just as she was about to leave, the doorbell rang.
$u Yan ran to the surveillance screen at the door and took a look. She saw a delivery man standing outside the courtyard, so she pressed the intercom button. "Hello, mister."
The delivery man heard her voice and hurriedly said, "Hello, May I ask if you are Su Yan?"
su Yan replied, "That's right, it's me."
The delivery man continued, "Then I'll have to trouble you to come out and sign for it. You have a bouquet of flowers."
After a moment of silence, Su Yan said, "I refuse to accept it. You can just return it."
'The delivery man looked troubled and said, "Miss Su, this cannot be returned because there is no address or the name of sender on it. If you refuse to accept it, I can only return it to the flower shop. If that happens, the flower shop will have earned a bouquet of flowers for nothing. Are you sure you don't want to sign for it?"
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Alright then, wait for me."
Amoment later, Su Yan returned to the villa with a large bouquet of blue roses in her hands. She looked around carefully and saw that there was no card, no message, and indeed no address on it.
She raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not know which bored person would send such a bouquet of flowers. Her residence was called Flora Villa because it was surrounded by a sea of flowers. It was winter now, so there were naturally no flowers. However, in the spring and summer season, the entire villa region was filled with the fragrance of flowers. The scenery was so beautiful that it was breath taking.
However, she did not think too much about it. Since she had already received it, she might as well put it in a vase. Why should she care who sent it? It would be a waste if she did not take it. She could just take it as making up for the lack of flowers in the winter.
Love was very sweet, but reality was very cruel. Although Chai Xingyu's proposal was successful, he only spent one night with Tang Yitong. The next morning, Tang Yitong took the earliest flight to Penang. There was a New Year's Eve party that required her to record, and she only returned to Jiang Du this morning.
Dragon Emperor Entertainment.
Before Su Yan opened the office door, she heard the sound of Tang Yitong throwing a tantrum inside. She pushed the door open and found that it was locked from the inside.
"Who is it?" Tang Yitong roared.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Guess who I am?"
Upon hearing her voice, Tang Yitong dashed to the door like a rabbit. After opening the door, she threw herself into Su Yan's arms. Her two small hands wrapped around Su Yan's slender waist. She was definitely suspected of taking advantage of Su Yan.
"yan Yan, I miss you. Come, let me give you a kiss." Tang Yitong pouted her small mouth and leaned over.
Su Yan ducked her head and pushed Tang Yitong's small mouth with one hand. She felt that she was not befriending a bestie, but a pervert.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Maintain your cold and aloof image. I just heard you roaring inside. Tell me, who provoked you again?" Su Yan asked.
'The two of them entered the office. Su Yan rarely came here, so she did not have an office here. This was also her intention. Rather than occupying the space, it was better to give it to someone else. So, every time she came to Dragon Emperor Entertainment, she would go straight to Tang Yitong's office.
Su Yan sat on the sofa and looked up at Tang Yitong. "Why are you looking at me? Who made our little sweetie unhappy again?"
'When this topic was brought up, Tang Yitong was so angry that her little face turned red. Hence, she started blabbering, It tuned out that her manager, Shen Ling, had just told her that there was a marketing account that had a good relationship with them. Someone anonymously provided them with photos and secretly them videos of Chai Xingyu proposing to Tang Yitong. They even spent money to gain the exposure of the marketing account. They felt that this matter was quite serious, so they contacted Sister Ling.
Chapter 148: A Stab In the Back

Although she had agreed to Chai Xingyu's proposal, they did not want to reveal their relationship for the time being. Once it was made public, it would affect Tang Yitong's career development. They only invited some trusted people for the proposal ceremony that day. They did not want it to be known by the public, However, they did not expect that someone would secretly film them.
After understanding what was going on, Su Yan frowned. "Do you know who that person is?"
'Tang Yitong replied, "I don't know, I don't know. However, I have a video of that person. You can take a look."
After saying that, she picked up her phone and sent a video that only lasted for ten seconds. Su Yan opened the video and watched it for a while. Then, she shook her head and said, "I don't know this person either. I don't think I've seen him before either."
Looking at the person in the video, Tang Yitong wanted to grab that person from the video and give him a good beating. If she hadn't coincidentally found that marketing account, she would be on the number one spot of trending search. This backstabbing was too dangerous.
"Hmph! Once | find out who that person is, I'l teach him a good lesson." Tang Yitong said furiously.
$u Yan chuckled. 'Aren't you afraid that he'll leak out everything and die together with you?"
Tang Yitong's expression froze. She was so angry that she didn't consider this situation. She thought about what would happen to her if the other party recklessly leaked everything on the internet. In an instant, Tang Yitong was like a deflated rubber ball. She held her breath and said, "Then what do you think we should do? Should we just be passively attacked?"
Su Yan put away her phone and took sip of the freshly brewed tea. "Of course not. Let Sister Ling find out who this person is first, then we'll make our plans."
Tang Yitong thought for a moment and could only nod. They had to treat this kind of thing coldly. Otherwise, once the conflict flared up, the other party would only stay in the prison for a few days at most. On the other hand, her career path was most likely to decline, and it was almost impossible for her to make a comeback.
The two of them did not speak as they sipped their tea. Tang Yitong was thinking about how to resolve this matter. She had worked so hard to get to where she was today in the show business. She definitely could not give up her accomplishment. Meanwhile, Su Yan was thinking about what Tang Yitong was hiding from her. When the two of them were on the phone just now, she heard that Tang Yitong was asking someone if they had settled the matter. At that time, she already knew that Tang Yitong was definitely doing something behind her back.
"Oh right, there's one more thing." Tang Yitong put down the teacup and spoke.
Su Yan looked at her with a faint smile. She knew in her heart that it was finally time to get down to business. She wanted to see if Tang Yitong had any bad ideas again.
'Tang Yitong felt a little guilty after being stared by Su Yan, she coughed lightly and said, 'Actually, it's not a big deal. Isn't the annual party coming up soon? In the past, we always held it at various big hotels. It was too boring, so I think we should change it this year."
"So?" Su Yan said with interest.
"After thinking over and over again, I finally decided to hold the annual party on your yacht. What do you think? Are you surprised?" Tang Yitong said with a thick face.
Su Yan put down the teacup, squinted her beautiful eyes, and stared at Tang Yitong and said, "You're scared!"
'Tang Yitong said nonsense with a straight face, "Yan Yan, you should support and understand my decision. I also want to save some money for the company. You don't even use your yacht."
Su Yan smiled. What did she mean by 'don't even use your yacht'? What did she mean by saving money for the company? It was clear that she wanted to go on the yacht. She was just using the annual party as an excuse.
Su Yan snorted. "Alright, who asked me to have a yacht? You guys can go in my yacht and have some fun. I don't pity that little bit of gas money."
Tang Yitong gnawed her fingers and looked at her. "Boss, I need money..."
Chai Xingyu had successfully proposed to her, and they were about to step into the marriage life. In order to have a better life in the future, she was desperately taking on jobs and saving money.
Su Yan crossed her arms. "No, I'll pay for the yacht. You'll pay for the gas and other expenses. It was your evil idea anyway."
'Tang Yitong shook Su Yan's arm and said coquettishly, "Yan Yan is the best. You're simply the Goddess in my dream. You're unrivaled in beauty and peerless in the world. You can topple cities and countries. The moon even hides her face when she sees your beauty, and all the flowers blossom for you..."
Su Yan could no longer endure Tang Yitong's cheesy praise. "Where did you learn all this?"
Although Tang Yitong used some really nice words, it sounded really mushy. Coupled with Tang Yitong's charming voice, Su Yan felt goosebumps all over her body.
