"Su Yan's shares have all been transferred to Cheng Tianhao, now everywhere Cheng Tianhao goes, he's recognized as Su's heir. What's impossible about that?"
"But, Su Yan is Grandpa Su's only biological grandson!"
"Cheng Tianhao is his biological great-grandson, what's the difference between a daughter and a son?"
"Grandpa Su is very traditional, he values lineage greatly. In his eyes, a daughter who marries away is like water thrown out, he would never let Cheng Tianhao inherit the Su family! Cheng Tianhao is an outsider, how can he inherit the Su family!" Bai Wanrou said excitedly.
"Elder Su has already transferred Su Yan's shares to Cheng Tianhao."
"Impossible!"
"This is a fact, if you don't believe it you can ask Su Yan. Transferring the shares required his signature." Meng Shaomei was asking Bai Wanrou to check this in order to confirm whether this was indeed true. If so, she would have to set into motion a do-or-die plan!
"I will ask."
When Bai Wanrou asked Su Yan after returning, he told her that his shares had indeed been transferred to Cheng Tianhao, and she was stupefied on the spot.
Su Yan was not a fool, he could see her shock and disappointment, his dark eyes sinking.
He was clear why Bai Xue made this bet with him. She wanted to see the sorrow of a poor husband and wife, to see if Rou Rou loved his money, rather than him as a person, and how long she could stay with him after he had lost everything.
He always believed that Bai Wanrou was not such a person, he was confident in her love for him, but seeing her expression now, his faith was shaken.
He knew that she had never given up on the idea of getting him to return home. In other words, she had always thought of him as the heir of the Su family. Now that he said he didn't have any shares, she must think that he was indeed completely penniless!
What would she do?
Would she stand by him, or would she abandon him?
He hoped it would be the former.
"Does that mean Cheng Tianhao is truly going to inherit the Su family?" She asked, regaining her composure.
"If there are no accidents, it should be him!"
"How can this be! The Su family is yours!" she said excitedly.
"One cannot have both a beautiful woman and a kingdom. If I were made to choose between you and the Su family, I would choose you." There was something profoundly moving about this sentiment. Something that would make a woman throw herself into the fire for him.
But to Bai Wanrou, it only meant one thing. Su Yan was not the heir of the Su family anymore!
They wouldn't be leaving this life behind anytime soon!
Su Yan lifted her chin, wanting a clear look at her face, "You don't want me to make this choice?"
Bai Wanrou was rather innocent, unlike Bai Xue, who could conceal even her deepest of emotions. Her thoughts were quite clear on her face, her disappointed, almost desperate expression made Su Yan's heart sink, his voice frosty.
"If you can't bear this hardship with me, you can return to Bai's family. The old man won't make things difficult for you!"
If her love for him was only for his status and background, then she could leave!
He, Su Yan, was someone who could let go, a loser who could admit defeat!
Bai Wanrou had never seen this side of Su Yan. Always gentle in front of her, this change scared her, flustering her.
She knew her expression had hurt him.
"No! I won't leave! I want to be with you, even if it means living like this for the rest of our lives, I still want to be with you!" She loved him! She didn't want to leave him. Besides, with his capabilities, even if he left the Su family, they wouldn't be poor forever, their future was still bright!
"Are you sure? Because I truly am not the heir of the Su family!"
