Once this hat is put on, what can Li Xiurong say?
After a while, "Su Yan, tell Aunt honestly, are you in love with that woman?"
"How could it be!" Su Yan instinctively rebutted.
Li Xiurong initially wanted to say that it would be impossible if he was not in love with her, but she stopped short of saying it. What benefit was there in telling him that he liked Bai Xue? It might only help him accept the truth. Maybe it would upset him, and he would simply devote himself to Bai Xue.
But to stand by and do nothing, she couldn't do it!
The women from the Bai Clan are too wicked!
The older one seduced her husband, and the younger one seduced her nephew!
How should she deal with them?
What should she do?
During this silent time, Li Xiurong's mind was a sea of tumultuous emotions.
She kept quiet, making Su Yan realize that his reaction was a bit too much. He squatted down, "Aunt, don't worry, I know my place and I remember our grudge very clearly."
He remembered his uncle's death, remembered how a happy home was destroyed. He would absolutely not have feelings for Bai Xue!
Li Xiurong kept silent. She didn't know what to say, or how to make him do what he said.
But she knew she couldn't press Su Yan, couldn't be forceful, otherwise, he would no longer be her support.
"Aunt believes in you, Aunt can only believe in you..." Her words were filled with sorrow, causing a pang of heartache.
She had lost her husband, had no children, no money, no power. All she had was his bit of affection for her. If he no longer cared for her, then she would have nothing left, she would be nothing.
Could she not believe what he said?
After leaving Li Xiurong, Su Yan was downcast and frustrated.
Jones Ellie picked a terrible time to call him.
"Yan, where have you been? Why haven't you been contacting me lately?" Last time, she had someone spread rumors about Bai Xue and Mayor Gong in hopes of ruining her relationship with Su Yan. However, it not only did not ruin them, Su Yan even protected Bai Xue from being disturbed.
"Why should I contact you? Don't you know I'm a married man? Don't call me again!" She was of no use to Su Yan anymore, even wasting time on her was too much for him.
This was the first time Jones Ellie had been so rejected, her face contorting in anger.
She initially wanted to have someone teach Su Yan a lesson, but got a call from her father requiring her to rush back to the United States.
Not only did Su Dongkun let Bai Xue keep the baby, but he also allowed her the freedom to return to work in the Bai Clan.
"CEO Bai, are you feeling better now?"
Su Yan officially claimed that Bai Xue had a serious cold and was recuperating at home. Xiao Ai had wanted to visit Bai Xue, but was refused. She was always worried about her illness, seeing her looking radiant at work brought relief.
"Much better. Has there been any trouble during the time my father was in charge?" As soon as Bai Xue arrived at the office, she asked about what had happened during her absence, wondering if her father had taken advantage of the situation to stir things up.
"President Bai didn't take over!" Xiao Ai looked puzzled.
Bai Xue paused, "Then who has been handling the company's affairs during this time?"
"President Su." During Bai Xue's illness, Su Yan had taken care of the Bai Clan's work, which greatly changed Xiao Ai's perception of him.
"Him?" Bai Xue was quite surprised. Didn't he say that he would let her father handle the Bai Clan?
"Yes, whenever President Su had time, he would come over and handle a lot of tricky issues!" People really do change quickly. The same Xiao Ai who used to dislike Su Yan so much was now siding with him after just half a month.
