Chapter 169: I Don't Care About You Anymore!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhao Lili ran out of the bedroom when she heard the scolding in the living room. She looked at the slippers marks on Lan Jian's body and could not help but ask, "Dad, Mom, why are you disturbing people's sleep so early in the morning? What are you doing?"
Lan Jian glanced at Zhao Lili and said, "The Rotating Heart Vase that Su Yan broke that day was a fake. I came here specially to tell you about it. If you don't want to lose, you better cancel the bet with Su Yan as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't come crying to me when you lose later."
As a relative of the Zhao family and Zhao Lili's cousin, he had said everything he could and did everything he could. Because of this, his aunt had even given him a "full-body massage" with slippers. He felt he had done enough.
Seeing that his expression was serious and didn't look like he was joking, Zhao Lili looked at Zhao Yuan Shan and asked, "Dad, is what my brother said true?"
Lan Jian's words were logical, reasonable, and firm. Zhao Yuan Shan was also uncertain and could only say, "Let's not talk about this first. Let me ask you, who asked you to look for Su Yan? Why did you make a bet with her?"
Zhao Lil's face tumed pale and said, "Aiya, Dad, I'm just looking for Su Yan to have a meal. She deliberately used this matter to provoke me, so i..."
Seeing that Zhao Yuan Shan's expression was unsightly, Fan Yumei quickly tried to ease the situation. "Yuan Shan, forget it. We haven't sent anyone to investigate yet. We can't just listen to Su Yan and say that it's fake. Everything will only be known after the results of the investigation."
After comforting Zhao Yuan Shan, she said to Zhao Lili, "Tell me, what did you and Su Yan bet on?"
Zhao Lili felt a little uncomfortable after Lan Jian said that the Rotating Heart Vase was fake. She even had an ominous feeling that the Rotating Heart Vase was fake. She took out her phone from her pocket and showed the video recorded yesterday to Fan Yumei and Zhao Yuan Shan.
After watching it, Zhao Yuanshan was so angry that his face turned green, he pointed at Zhao Lili and said fiercely, "You, you, I, Zhao Yuan Shan, have a good reputation all my life. How did I give birth to such an idiot daughter like you? It's obvious that you've been schemed against by Su Yan. I've told you long ago that Su Yan is not an ordinary person. You're nothing in front of her, yet you still have the nerve to make a bet with her. You're something. You brought this on yourself. I don't care about you anymore!"
In the video, Su Yan's words were very calm. At first, it sounded like there was nothing wrong, but the more it was like this, the more Zhao Yuan Shan felt that something was wrong. In addition, the incident on New Year's Day was more complicated, with Lan Jian's testimony at that time, once the incident was exposed, wouldn't Zhao Lili be the one who would lose the most face?
This time, Zhao Yuan Shan was really angry. He did not expect Zhao Lili's 1Q to be so low. She took the initiative to provoke Su Yan for no reason. She thought that with Wei Shani, she would be able to defeat Su Yan. It was not that he looked down on his daughter even if there are ten times Zhao Lili and Wei Shani, they would still not be a match for Su Yan.
Zhao Yuan Shan slammed the door and left. Zhao Lili was a little dumbfounded from being scolded, she could only ask Fan Yumei for help, "Mom, look at my dad. Ever since he saw Su Yan, he has been praising Su Yan. Now, he's even scolding me. However, from my dad's attitude, could that Rotating Heart Vase be fake?"
Fan Yumei sighed and said, "That's enough. It's not up to us to determine if it's real or fake. We have to wait for the results of the appraisal. But to be honest, I don't think there's anything wrong with that vase. After all, your dad is also an expert and has a certain status in the collection field. What's more, he spent so much money on it."
Hearing her words, Zhao Lili felt much more at ease. She looked at Lan Jian who had just walked out of the door and said, "Then why did my brother come to talk about this so early in the morning? Could it be that he also has some information?"
At the mention of Lan Jian, Fan Yumei felt resentful. She had doted on her nephew for nothing. He had forgotten how good she had treated him when he was young, She pursed her lips and said, "There's no need to listen to his nonsense. He's not an expert."
Zhao Lili nodded. "Then what is Dad's intention now? Is he going to reappraise it?"
Fan Yumei replied, "Of course. Since this matter has already come to this point, there's no other way but to reappraise it. Other than this, tell me first, is your bet with Su Yan true or false?"
Compared to Zhao Yuan Shan, she had a completely different view of the bet. If they won the bet, it would soothe her anger and give Su Yan a hard slap in the face. Moreover, it would not be as simple as compensating 50,000 yuan.
"Mom, the bet is real. Didn't you just watch the video? Su Yan also has a copy of this video. I'm just afraid that someone will cheat," Zhao Lili replied.
"It's good that it's real. After the reappraisal results are out, I'll accompany you to find that Su Yan," Fan Yumei said hatefully.

Hearing Fan Yumei's words, Zhao Lili nodded happily. Finally, someone was on her side. She never believed Su Yan's words, much less that the Rotating Heart Vase her father bought with ten million yuan was a fake.
Just as the mother and daughter were talking, a person walked in. After explaining the purpose of his visit to them, he used a bag to pack up the broken Rotating Heart Vase. Then, he carried the bag to do the appraisal. After all, it was Zhao Yuan Shan's arrangement, the mother and daughter naturally did not think too much about it.
In less than ten minutes, Wang Xiaoxue received the news. During the break between the meeting, she told Su Yan that Zhao Yuan Shan had sent people to do the appraisal.
$u Yan sneered, "It seems that there are still some smart people in the Zhao family. I thought that they would wait for a long time before taking any action."
Wang Xiaoxue said, "Well, it's really surprising that they can do this. It doesn't quite fit the style of the Zhao family."
Su Yan shook her head gently and discard these messy thoughts out of her mind. Whether the Zhao family went to do the appraisal had nothing to do with her, so she didn't care at all.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yan ordered again, "By the way, get someone to ask how long it will take for this kind of appraisal to finalize."
"Oh, I've known about this before. Compared to perfectly intact antiques, this kind of antique that has already been scrapped is easier to appraise. Moreover, the appraisal is more accurate. According to the current level of technology, the appraisal report will be out in three hours at most," Wang Xiaoxue replied.
Su Yan was surprised. "So fast? Alright, get someone to keep an eye on this matter. Let me know the results immediately."
She also wanted to see whether the Rotating Heart Vase was real or fake. Although she was very sure, she was not an expert and did not have any direct evidence. She could only rely on the results of the authoritative organization's appraisal.
Wang Xiaoxue nodded. "Okay, president Su. I'll inform you as soon as I have the results."
After thinking for a moment, Su Yan said, "Compared to this, the matter regarding Jian Xin Technology is the most important. I gave them three months when I had dinner with Qin sang two days ago, so you should keep an eye on them during this period."
Wang Xiaoxue said, "Don't worry, president Su. I've been paying attention to Jian Xin. I didn't expect them to do such a thing. It's infuriating."
Su Yan smiled. "Alright, go and call everyone in. Let's continue with the meeting."
After the meeting ended, Su Yan stayed behind to have a detailed discussion with some of the higher-ups. After everything was settled, she walked out of the meeting room.
Looking at her watch, it was already noon. It was lunchtime again. She said to Wang Xiaoxue, "Do you want to eat together?"
Wang Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment before nodding her head. "I'll do as you say."
Before they could walk out of the building, Wang Xiaoxue's phone rang. She slowed down slightly and took out her phone to answer it. At the same time, Su Yan also received a message. She thought that it was a recommendation from an advertisement. However, when she saw that Lan Jian's name was written at the end of the message, she read carefully the contents of the message.
Lan Jian sent a smiley face. "Hi, Su Yan. I wonder if you're free for lunch? Do I have the honor to treat you to a meal?"
Su Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, and her slender fingers pressed on the screen to reply, "Sorry, I'm not free."
In less than three seconds, Lan Jian sent another message. "If you are not free during the day, will you be free at night?"
Seeing that he was not finished, Su Yan replied impatiently, "I'm not free at night either."
This time, after more than ten seconds, Lan Jian sent a message, "Then when are you free? You're not a robot, you can't possibly be busy all the time?"
Lan Jian's persistent pestering made Su Yan feel uncomfortable. She replied with an unfriendly tone, "I'll tell you directly. Whether I'm busy or not, it's against you guys. If it is someone else, I'd be free anytime, but for you guys, I'll never be free all my life."
On the other end of the phone, Lan Jian was stunned. He did not expect Su Yan to be so direct. She was not afraid of offending him at all, or rather she did not take him seriously at all. At the same time, he could see how much Su Yan despised him.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lan Jian braced himself and sent another message over, "Su Yan, I want to treat you to a meal. I don't have any other intentions. I hope that you can give me a chance."
He had thought that Su Yan would agree to it because of his sincerity, but the truth was too harsh. This message was sent as though had just disappeared and Su Yan did not reply to him.

In fact, what Lan Jian didn't know was that Su Yan had blacklisted his cell phone number before his last message was sent, so she didn't see his last message at all.
Wang Xiaoxue finished the call and hurriedly said, "President Su, we just got the news. The appraisal report of the Rotating Heart Vase is out. Our judgment is not wrong, That Rotating Heart Vase is indeed fake. The relevant agencies will send the appraisal report to Zhao Yuan Shan's desk in the afternoon."
Su Yan curled the corners of her lips and looked like she was watching a show. "Do you think we need to call an ambulance to wait downstairs at Zhao Yuan shan's company in advance? The mortality rate of heart disease is still very high."
Wang Xiaoxue smiled and said, "I think Zhao Yuan Shan should already know the news. Even if he doesn't have a heart attack, he will still be angered to death."
Su Yan looked at Wang Xiaoxue and said in amusement, "Secretary Wang, I feel that you seem to have changed recently. You have become much worse than before, but I like it very much."
'Wang Xiaoxue's face turned red from Su Yan's almond-shaped eyes. "It's good that President Su likes."
Su Yan raised her head. "Keep it up."
Looking at Su Yan's bright and alluring appearance, Wang Xiaoxue's eyes sparkled with little stars. Even though she was a girl, she felt that she was going to fall in love. Who could resist such an angel smiling at her?
'Wang Xiaoxue felt that she would have to submit to Su Yan one day. She had already secretly decided that Su Yan would be her only idol in the future. She would not love anyone except Su Yan.
Su Yan asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
'Wang Xiaoxue nodded without holding back. "Recently, a hot pot restaurant has opened next to the company. Why don't we go and try?"
Su Yan nodded. "Let's go. It just so happens that I'm craving meat recently."
In all of China, which woman did not like hot pot? After all, there was a saying in China that nothing could not be solved with a hot pot. If it could not be solved, then served two meals.
Two hours later, they finished the hotpot. Su Yan and Wang Xiaoxue burped and left. They returned to Flora Villa. Before she could sit on the sofa, an unknown number called.
Su Yan was in good mood after finishing eating the hotpot. Without thinking much, she picked up the call. "Hello?"
"Hello, President Su. I am Pang Jinbo, the Secretary of the Chairman of the Xingda Corporation." A young man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "Xingda Corporation? What's the matter?"
This so-called Xingda Corporation's chairman was Zhao Yuan Shan. She didn't expect Zhao Yuan Shan to send someone to contact her. It seemed that he already knew the result of the appraisal.
"President Su, it's like this. Our chairman Zhao wants to meet you. He wants to apologize for the matter of the Rotating Heart Vase that you broke in the Zhao family's house," Pang Jinbo said.
Su Yan smiled. "Tell your chairman that there's no need to apologize over dinner. He's the biggest victim of this matter. If he wants to persuade me to cancel the bet with Zhao Lili, then it's better to give up this idea as soon as possible. Although I'm not a big shot, I'm a person of principles. I do not start something without finishing it. Therefore, the bet between me and Zhao Lili will continue to be fulfilled."
'When she said this, Su Yan sneered in her heart. They were both thousand-year-old foxes. She could guess what the other party was thinking even without using it. Though Zhao Yuan Shan said that he was treating her to apologize to her, in fact, he wanted her to forget about the bet with Zhao Lili. After all, the Rotating Heart Vase was reappraised to be a fake. Zhao Lili had already lost.
"President Su, if you don't mind, director Zhao would like to give you a gift. I hope you can accept it," Pang Jinbo said.
Su Yan frowned. "Send my regards to director Zhao. Forget about the gifts. I live a rich life and don't lack anything. However, I appreciate his kindness. If there's nothing else, Let's leave it at that. I have a meeting to attend to."
Then, without waiting for Pang Jinbo to say anything else, Su Yan hung up the phone. Pang Jinbo held his phone and looked at Zhao Yuan Shan with a dumbfounded expression. They were on speakerphone just now, so Zhao Yuan Shan could hear their conversation.
Zhao Yuan Shan's face was glum and he did not say anything. He knew that Su Yan's words were deliberately said for him to hear. Su Yan's words were already very reserved. She was telling Zhao Yuan Shan that they should not mix things together, it was not something that could be settled just by treating him to a meal.
Pang Jinbo suggested, "President Zhao, why don't I personally go and look for President Su on your behalf? No matter what, let her accept the gift first."
Zhao Yuan Shan thought for a moment and shook his head. "Forget it. It would be a wasted trip. According to her temper, even if you give her a mountain of gold, she would not want it."
Chapter 172: Preparation For The Annual Meeting

Although he did not have much contact with Su Yan, or rather he had only met her a few times, he knew a lot about Su Yan. He was very clear that this woman who used to be submissive in front of Wei Zhou was now completely different from before. Her stubbornness was not surprising at all.
Just as Su Yan hung up the phone, Tang Yitong called her. Just as she picked up the phone, she heard Tang Yitong complain, "Who were you on the phone with just now? I've called two people but you're still busy."
$u Yan smiled. "Oh, it's nothing."
Tang Yitong asked, "No, you have to be clear. whose phone call is so important that you don't even pick up my call."
Su Yan was helpless and could only say, "It's Zhao Lili's biological father. Zhao Yuan shan' secretary called. Are you satisfied now?"
Tang Yitong, "? ? ?"
She also knew about the Rotating Heart Vase. However, she did not expect Zhao Yuan Shan's secretary to be so resourceful that he found Su Yan. Hence, she speculated, "What's the situation? Could it be that they got someone to reappraised the vase?"
Seeing that her words hit the nail on the head, Su Yan nodded. "Yo, looks like you've eaten quite a lot recently. This brain of yours is finally not stupid anymore. Your guess is accurate. Two hours ago, they just re-appraised the vase."
Tang Yitong mocked, "Hmph, you finally can't take it anymore, right? If you have the ability, don't go and appraise it. This slap back on the face is hard."
Su Yan did not have the intention to continue with this question, so she changed the topic. "Compared to them, let's talk about you first. Why did you call me?"
Tang Yitong reacted and hurriedly said, "Aiya, look at my memory. I was so focused on the Zhao family's stupid matter that I almost forgot about such an important matter. I wanted to inform you that I bought you a dress to wear at the annual meeting. If the size doesn't fit, let me know. I'll get someone to change it for you."
Hearing this, Su Yan shrugged and said, "Is it necessary? It's just the company's annual meeting. There's no need to be so grand."
It was not that she was pretending, but she really did not care. The company was hers, and the employees were hers. was there a need to dress up so conspicuously for the annual meeting with her people in her territory? If it were not for Tang Yitong, she would not have wasted time thinking about these things. When the day came, she would just randomly pick a piece of clothing from the wardrobe and go.
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? You are the boss of Dragon Emperor Entertainment after all. You are the big backer behind all of us. I heard that the public relations department has invited quite a several senior executives from other companies to participate in this annual meeting. Who knows, you might meet someone. Now that everyone knows that you are the boss of Dragon Emperor Entertainment, you must not lose to others." Tang Yitong's dissatisfied voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Tknow, I know. I hear loud and clear. When the time comes, I will not embarrass you guys, okay?" Su Yan questioned, "But what did you mean just now? Are you saying that there are still people that I can't compare to?"
"Uhh... it was a slip of the tongue. What I meant was that you will definitely amaze everyone and turn everyone upside down. Once you appear, you will dazzle everyone and let them see what it means to bring disaster to the country and the people. Oh, no, yes, yes. Aiya, in short, you are beautiful!" Tang Yitong smiled sheepishly.
For some reason, Tang Yitong liked to drag Su Yan to all kinds of gatherings. Moreover, she was always the one behind Su Yan's back to help her with the tailoring preparations. That feeling was just like an old mother at home, she constantly thought of Su Yan, this daughter who was as beautiful as an angel. The more stunning Su Yan dressed, the more it satisfied her vanity.
Before the divorce, Su Yan refused to come out. She also could not run to the Wei family and forcefully drag Su Yan out. Now that she was single, naturally no matter what she would not let Su Yan off. Therefore, for this annual meeting.., she wanted to push Su Yan to the front to satisfy her vanity and pride.
Thinking of this, Tang Yitong was extremely excited. She wished that today was the annual meeting and shouted into her phone, "Little Yan Yan, this time you have to stand up for me. This year, you are only twenty-six years old. This is the most beautiful and golden period of your life. You have to find all the youth that you have let down in the past and make those gossipy women who speak nonsense about you shut their mouths obediently!"
Hearing this, Su Yan could not help but smile bitterly. "Oh, I finally understand. After all this fuss, you are not asking me to attend the annual meeting... You are asking me to help you to get back at others and soothe your anger, right?"
