Chapter 221: Retribution Came so Quickly
Ever since he was young, the Wei family had expended wholehearted efforts to nurture him. It could be said that he had everything he wanted. Although he had encountered many setbacks and tribulations later on, he had never received a blow like he did today. He hadn't suddenly confessed on impulse. He had thought about this for a long time. He had wanted to confess to Su Yan even before Lan Jian had said that they all owed Su Yan an apology. Previously, he had sent people to deliver flowers every day and waited for her to get off work. He had laid a lot of groundwork for today's confession. Although it wasn't very successful, with Su Yan's intelligence, she should have been able to see through his thoughts long ago, but previously, for various reasons, he hadn't confessed. He had been dragging it out until today.
Although he had been rebutted by Su Yan, he was already prepared. It was within his expectations.
Su Yan looked away. "Wei Zhou, you have to understand that being in love with you three years ago was my fault. Even if I suffered a lot during that process, I wouldn't blame you. After all, it was my own choice. I wouldn't have ended it no matter what. But now, I don't love you anymore. I even hate you. Yet you said that you fell in love with me. So, it's time for you to experience this feeling of unreciprocated love."
She had been smiling the whole time, but her eyes were slightly red. After saying that, she brushed her long hair, tightened her coat, and left without looking back.
"Do you still like this man? I'm sorry, I don't love him anymore." Su Yan asked herself, then she gave an answer very quickly. She had never seen retribution come so quickly. It had only been eleven months, yet Wei Zhou was already about to be tortured by love. She knew what that feeling was like, so she was secretly happy.
Wei Zhou stood where he was while watching Su Yan's gradually disappearing figure. He was reminded of the day they got married three years ago, when Su Yan had heavy makeup on her face. She smiled at him and said, "President Wei, we're married. From now on, we're comrades in arms for the second half of our lives. Please take care of me!"
However, she had only taken care of him for three years and suddenly stopped. Wei Zhou was unwilling, but he had nothing to say. He didn't dare to complain because it was all his fault.
It wasn't until Su Yan completely disappeared into the night that Wei Zhou retracted his gaze. Just as he was about to pay the bill and leave, someone walked over and said, "Hey, do you want to have a drink together?"
Wei Zhou raised his chin slightly and looked at the woman coldly. This woman's figure was hot and her clothes were very sexy. However, what was with that big face that was covered in half a kilogram of makeup?
"Hmph, why don't you take a look at yourself?" Wei Zhou said and left.
Compared to Su Yan, this woman was far inferior in terms of appearance. Where did her confidence come from? She actually had the nerve to come and strike up a conversation with him.
When she heard this, the woman's face was a little stiff. She wanted to scold him back, but the man walked away too fast and didn't give her any chance. In the end, she could only give up.
In fact, she didn't dare to chase after him and scold him because she saw very clearly that the watch on the man's wrist was a limited-edition, custom-made, J family Millennium Watch. It cost a fortune and the handwork alone cost ten million yuan. A man who could wear this watch and possess such a temperament was definitely not someone she could provoke.
Because she was delayed by Wei Zhou for an hour, when Su Yan took a taxi home, it was already 10:30 in the evening. It was dark and cold outside, and she was the only one walking on the street.
Just as she entered the room, her phone rang. A flurry of messages came in one after another. Su Yan turned on her phone, then changed her clothes and quickly took out her phone to check. She found that it was all messages from Tang Yitong
Su Yan didn't know how to react when she saw the last message. "Hey, Yan Yan, you haven't replied for such a long time. Could it be that you've been abducted? If so, blink your eyes."
Su Yan fell onto the bed and directly sent a voice call to Tang Yitong. The reason why she couldn't make a video call was that she was afraid that she and Chai Xingyu would be in bed at this time. It was torturous to see PDA in the middle of the night.
Tang Yitong was probably looking at her phone. She had just dialed when the call was picked up. "Oh my God, Yan Yan, there's finally news from you. What's wrong with you? You sent me a message at 9:30 and said that you were heading back. Did Xia Jing and the others bully you again?"
Chapter 222: Came for Me
Su Yan took a sip of warm milk and replied, "I'm fine. I'm fine. I just bumped into Wei Zhou when I left the hotel."
Tang Yitong immediately perked up when she heard this. "What did you say? Bumped into Wei Zhou? Why would he be in Feng City?"
Su Yan took another sip of milk. "If I'm not wrong, he probably came for me."
Wei Zhou's previous guess was correct. Su Yan's IQ was very high, so she had long seen through his thoughts. When she met Wei Zhou in the corridor today, she knew that Wei Zhou was definitely here to look for her. Otherwise, why would he coincidentally come to Feng City and also happen to bump into her in the hotel? How could there be so many coincidences in this world?
Moreover, as the wife of the former president, she knew very clearly about the power of Excellent Era Corporation. She didn't dare to say that Excellent Era Corporation's industries were all over the country, but at least ninety percent of the cities in the country had Excellent Era Corporation's industries. Moreover, the Excellent Era Corporation dabbled in many industries, but every industry had a professional in charge of management and operation. There was no need for him, the biggest boss, to come over and inspect anything
On the other end of the phone, Tang Yitong said, "What's the situation with that scumbag, Wei Zhou? He can't be interested in you, could he?!
In the face of Tang Yitong's inquiry, she had no choice but to admit it. She could only reply, "He offered to give me 7% of Excellent Era Corporation's shares and a villa as compensation, so he probably came to me because he felt guilty."
Tang Yitong said in shock, "What did you say? He wants to give you 7% of Excellent Era Corporation's shares? Then you didn't take it?"
Su Yan said, "That's right. 7% of the shares isn't too much, but it's not little either."
After a short moment of shock, Tang Yitong calculated, "Based on Excellent Era Corporation's stock price, even if you resell 7% of the shares at the lowest price, you can still earn four to five billion for nothing, right?"
Su Yan replied, "The lowest is 4.2 billion, the highest is 5 billion."
Tang Yitong gasped. "Is Wei Zhou serious? He's actually so generous. All these things combined are at least 5.2 billion. It looks like he really wants to make it up to you."
Speaking up to this point, her voice suddenly became low as she said, "Why do I suddenly feel that this scumbag, Wei Zhou, isn't that bad?"
Yes, she was greedy. Based on her current status, how many television dramas, how many movies would she have to act in, and how many endorsements would she have to get to earn 5.2 billion? That would require not eating or drinking, and not spending a single cent.
Suddenly, she felt a little jealous. Compared to those rich and powerful families, she, a celebrity that everyone envied and admired, was really nothing.
Hearing her say this, Su Yan said in a bad mood, "You're so greedy!"
5 billion was indeed not a small amount, but in her eyes, it wasn't that much. If she sold the shares of the Xuanwen Group, she could earn 10 billion in a matter of minutes. Adding in the Dragon Emperor Entertainment, Lang Sheng Technology, and other companies, as well as those small companies that she couldn't even remember, CEO Wei might not be richer than her.
Tang Yitong instantly said jealously, "You don't lack money, but I do!!!"
Su Yan couldn't be bothered with her and said, "I'll hang up now. I'm tired. Good night."
It was already 11 o'clock. Usually, she would have already fallen asleep by this time. She believed that quality sleep was the key to beauty. Maintaining quality sleep was more effective than anything at improving one's appearance.
"Xiao Xiao, turn off the lights." Su Yan stretched and ordered. However, she smiled as soon as she finished speaking. She then remembered that she was in her hometown and not in the Floral Villa Scenic Spot. Xiao Xiao was watching the house for her at this time.
She crawled into bed and quickly fell asleep. It was in the middle of winter, and she slept until dawn. When Su Yan opened her eyes again, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning the next day.
She pulled open the curtains and pushed open the windows. The cold air immediately blew on her face. Because Feng City was closer to the south, the winter here wasn't as cold as in the north.
The fresh air made her sober up, and Su Yan started a brand new day. However, it was cloudy today and the sky was white. The thick clouds blocked the sun completely.
The next day would be the eve of Spring Festival. Thousands of families were busy buying new year goods and decorating their homes. Su Yan was alone and seemed particularly free.
After breakfast, Su Yan planned to watch a movie. Just as she turned on the video app, her phone rang. Looking at the unfamiliar number, Su Yan raised her eyebrows. She had just called this number yesterday morning. It was the phone number of the general manager of Huaxin Grand Hotel. She didn't know why he was calling
Chapter 223: The Matter Blew up
Su Yan picked up the phone. "It's me."
As expected, the voice of the hotel's general manager came from the other end of the phone. "Good morning, Miss Su. I hope I didn't disturb your rest. I took the liberty to call you because the incident last night was getting out of control. Before dawn today, someone came to the hotel to make a fuss and requested to check the hotel's surveillance footage last night. They wanted us to come up with an explanation."
Su Yan said calmly, "If they want to see the surveillance footage, let them see it."
Hearing this, the hotel general manager was a little troubled. "It's okay to let them see it..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Su Yan interrupted, "It's okay. Let them watch the surveillance footage. I'll be at the hotel in an hour."
After saying that, she hung up the phone and looked at a recommendation page for a movie. She reluctantly exited the video app. It was better to settle the matter first and then come back to watch it slowly.
On the other end of the phone, the general manager of the hotel took a deep breath. He looked at the phone screen and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't know why, but talking to this big boss on the phone made him feel scared.
Half an hour later, Su Yan went out. At this time, Tang Yitong called her again. "Yan Yan, I heard that Xia Jing went to the hotel to cause trouble?"
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "After you returned to your hometown, you have become much more well-informed." She was a little confused as to how Tang Yitong knew about this. Under normal circumstances, no matter which family it happened to, they wouldn't spread it around. After all, they still cared about their reputation, not to mention the Lin family was a well-known wealthy family in Feng City.
Tang Yitong snorted coldly. "If you want to blame someone, then blame Xia Jing. Her scoundrel friends sold her out under the guise of doing so for her sake."
Su Yan was puzzled. "Sold her out? How?"
Tang Yitong turned on her phone, then switched to her social media app. "They posted yesterday's incident, along with pictures. Now that the matter has blown up, I think it's a little difficult to handle. But don't worry, Xingyu and I will go over to look for you in a while. We definitely won't let you face these things alone."
Su Yan smiled. "Alright, then let's meet at the hotel."
In reality, she wasn't afraid at all. This was because she had never done anything wrong. It was always others who crossed her first before she retaliated. So, no matter how much the Lin family made a fuss, it didn't matter.
Tang Yitong reminded, "If you go, try to delay it further. Why don't you let Xing Yu and I go and check out the situation first? If you appear so quickly, the Lin family will definitely pester you."
The corners of Su Yan's lips curled up. "That's exactly what I want."
Hearing this, Tang Yitong was slightly startled. Then, she understood. She knew that Su Yan already had a plan. In the past, whenever she encountered a difficult problem, as long as Su Yan said something like this, the matter would be resolved satisfactorily in the end.
Tang Yitong asked, "Tell me, what's your plan?"
Su Yan smiled and said, "I am the owner of Huaxin Grand Hotel. Someone came to my hotel to cause trouble and affected the business of our hotel. What do you think my plan is?"
Since the Lin family wanted to blow the matter up, then she would blow the matter up. The bigger the better. Anyway, she didn't care at all. If they dared to fight, the police would handle them.
Last night, when she was teaching Xia Jing and the others a lesson, Su Yan had already guessed that things would develop to this stage. But whether it was Xia Jing or the Lin family, would she be afraid of them?
If they really wanted to dig deeper, that small pill was brought by Xia Jing herself. The hotel's bedroom was also opened with her ID card. As a former high school classmate, she saw that Xia Jing wasn't feeling well and was concerned about her classmate, so, she sent Xia Jing to her room to rest.
As for Xia Jing's brother-in-law, she didn't even know his name. If the Lin family wasn't afraid of losing face, she didn't mind putting this matter on the internet.
Tang Yitong said worriedly, "You plan to call the police to deal with them? I'm afraid that won't do. After all, there are surveillance cameras in the hotel, and it's clear what happened at a glance, so it's very disadvantageous for you."
Su Yan snorted. "Disadvantageous for me? I haven't done anything. Is it a mistake to kindly send an old classmate back to her room to rest?"
Hearing this, Tang Yitong giggled on the other end of the phone. Then, with a face full of admiration, she said on the phone, "Yan Yan, I really admire you so much. You came up with such a wonderful answer. Why didn't I think of it? Why are you so smart?"
Chapter 224: I'm Calling the Police
Tang Yitong's praise came from the bottom of her heart. Sometimes, she really admired Su Yan's wisdom. She felt that her brain structure was different from that of a normal person.
Su Yan said unhappily, "So you and Xingyu don't need to participate in this matter. There's no need to get involved. To me, this is just a trivial matter."
Hearing her confident tone and thinking about her wittiness, Tang Yitong couldn't refute. "If that's the case, then I'll take my leave first."
Su Yan nodded. "Okay."
After hanging up the video call, Su Yan put her phone away and looked at the street not far away. Her almond-shaped eyes flashed with a cold look. After such a thing happened, Xia Jing would be completely screwed this time.
Xia Jing had the dream of marrying into a rich family and becoming a rich woman since she was young. Later on, she really married into a rich family. From then on, she lived the best life among her classmates. "Humph, what a pity. Your lavish lifestyle will be over soon." Su Yan sneered to herself.
Huaxin Grand Hotel.
Su Yan pushed the door open and got out of the
aw the general manager of the hotel, who was wearing a black suit, walking up to her with a few high-level employees. The general manager of the hotel said respectfully, "President Su, you're here."
Su Yan nodded and looked inside the hotel door. "You Zhengwei, why are you outside? Did they make a move?"
You Zhengwei was the name of the general manager of the hotel. Su Yan only found out about it after asking Wang Xiaoxue on the way. Although the general manager was the highest-ranking employee in the entire hotel, Su Yan had never been here before. Therefore, this was also the first time she met You Zhengwei. To put it bluntly, according to his rank, You Zhengwei wasn't qualified for Su Yan to get to know him.
"They didn't make a move. I heard that you were coming, so I came specially to welcome you." You Zhengwei's face flushed. His actions were indeed a little ingratiating.
Su Yan curled the corners of her lips. "Where are they? In the hall?"
"I invited them into the general manager's office," You Zhengwei replied.
Su Yan nodded and didn't say anything else. She walked straight into the hotel. Since they weren't here, she would go straight to the general manager's office. Just as she entered the entrance of the hotel, Su Yan suddenly remembered, "Oh, right, I called the police on the way here. The police will probably arrive soon. When the police arrive, get someone to invite them to your office."
When she said this, her voice was calm and indifferent, as if calling the police was a trivial matter to her.
You Zhengwei pursed his lips and replied, "I understand, President Su. I will immediately arrange this matter."
Su Yan smiled and looked at him. "By the way, how many people did the Lin family bring?"
You Zhengwei answered truthfully, "It seems that everyone who could come is here. They are all from their own family."
Su Yan nodded. These people from the Lin family were too much naive. What era was this? It wasn't the era of fighting and killing. Did they think that they could win just because they had more people?
Everyone walked into the elevator. Under You Zhengwei's lead, they went straight to the general manager's office on the top floor. Before they entered, You Zhengwei glanced at Su Yan. There was clearly a worried look in his eyes. "President Su, you shouldn't go in. There are many of them, and they are very emotional. Just now, when I was arguing with them, I was even scratched by their family."
Su Yan curled her lips and said with a cold and arrogant expression, "Open the door! They dare to lay hands on my people? Very well. I want to see if the Lin family is invincible."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, You Zhengwei raised his hand and knocked on the office door. "Our boss, President Su, is here!"
A few seconds later, the office door was opened and a girl in work clothes ran out. When she saw Su Yan, she looked relieved. Her name was Ge Dan and she was You Zhengwei's administrative secretary. She had been dealing with the Lin family alone earlier.
Before Su Yan could say anything, Xia Jing's voice came from the office, "Su Yan, you're finally here!"
Xia Jing stared at Su Yan with hatred in her eyes as she gritted her teeth. Her grimacing face was full of abhorrence.
Su Yan looked at Xia Jing indifferently. Then, she looked around the room and looked at all the members of the Lin family. Finally, her eyes fell on a man in the middle of the sofa. "You must be Mr. Lin. Nice to meet you," Su Yan said.
"Who are you?" Lin Yang raised his eyebrows with suppressed anger.
