Instead of leaving, Bai Xue casually seated herself on the sofa, making herself at home.
"Unable to understand human language after a few days of not seeing me, huh?" Su Yan's tone was as harsh as could be, when dealing with the mastermind who had made his life so miserably.
"Su Yan, I want to make a bet with you. If you win, I will convince grandpa to cancel our marriage. If you lose, you have to break up with Bai Wanrou and become my husband!"
Su Yan scoffed disdainfully.
Why should he gamble with her?
"Are you scared?" Bai Xue raised an eyebrow, in her eyes was a challenge and a hint of contempt.
She seemed to be trying to goad him into action, which was the most basic provocation.
"Miss Bai, have you really sunk to such levels of stupidity?" Using such coarse methods!
"Su Yan, Grandpa is turning seventy this year, isn't he? Although his health is still good, can a man his age withstand your constant provocations? If something happens to him because of you, will you be able to live with it? Plus, don't you want Grandpa to bless your marriage?" Bai Xue knew that Su Yan, despite his rebellious image, was a filial man. Otherwise, he would not force Grandpa Su to have a medical checkup every year and join the company at an early stage to share the heavy workload.
"It's none of your business!"
"Su Yan, I haven't even said what the bet is, why not hear it before making a decision? Everyone says you're clever, as someone so intelligent, you should pick the best solution to solve problems, right?" Bai Xue raised her brows.
Su Yan twitched his mouth corner, so if he didn't listen to her bet, he was a fool?
However, she did have a point. Listening wouldn't hurt.
Bai Xue was so focused on Su Yan that she understood him quite well. She knew he was intending to listen.
"I will let Grandpa declare your dismissal from the family, you'll become a nobody, thrown out of the house with nothing, living a life of poverty with Bai Wanrou. And you'll be oppressed by me and Grandpa at every step. If you can persist for three months and Bai Wanrou still remains with you, I will withdraw from this marriage and assure Grandpa's blessings for you, and arrange a grand wedding!"
"Is it just that simple?" Su Yan stared at Bai Xue, his deep, black eyes filled with suspicion. The bet seemed too simple, making him instinctively feel that there was a trap.
"The condition is that except for us and Grandpa, no fourth person can know that you're not truly penniless!"
"Sign the contract!" Su Yan didn't trust Bai Xue. Only a contract with the promise in black and white would be a guarantee.
"No problem!" Bai Xue agreed without hesitation.
"Grandpa has to be present when signing the contract."
"No problem."
"Deal!"
After the contract was signed, Su Dongkun released Bai Wanrou.
"Yan..." Bai Wanrou, who had been confined for days, burst into tears on seeing Su Yan. She had been so scared these past few days, so scared...
"Hush, it's alright now." Su Yan embraced her.
Their sweet talk and Su Yan's gentleness were like daggers to Bai Xue's eyes.
She loved this man. If Bai Wanrou could make it through these three months and prove her love for Su Yan, then she would truly let go.
Poor Bai Xue!
Whenever it came to Su Yan, you always became so easily soft-hearted. If you let go now and they returned one day to destroy you, you would have brought it upon yourself.
"Su Yan since you've chosen Bai Wanrou over us, you are no longer a descendant of the Su family. Besides the clothes on your back, nothing else belongs to you!" Su Dongkun declared coldly.
