Su Ran didn't take Gu Heng's words to heart. After such an incident, negotiations were surely off the table. Just as she was planning to leave...
A figure strode directly toward her and, without a second word, swung a hand towards her face.
Su Ran reacted incredibly quickly, instinctively dodging to the side, causing the incoming slap to miss its mark.
"You wretched girl, how dare you dodge? What on earth did the Su Family do to deserve birthing such a venomous creature like you? Truly, this is a misfortune for our family."
Narrowing her eyes, Su Ran looked coldly at Wen Peipei, her extremely biased grandmother.
The old lady's face was covered in wrinkles, the traces of years not easily concealed, but it was not hard to tell that in her youth she must have been quite beautiful. Her hair was now streaked with white, styled into a neat bun, her eyes bright and sharp, her spirit lively, immediately indicating that she was not someone to be trifled with.
"What sins the Su Family has committed, why don't you go down and ask for yourself."
The cold light in her eyes rolled, icy as frost.
"You... you wretched girl, how dare you talk back! Xinyan is your sister, how can your heart be so cruel? Are you trying to drive her to her death?"
Su Ran snorted with laughter, "If she could be driven to death, how come she is still alive and well to this day?"
Her indifferent tone was full of sarcasm as Su Ran looked at Wen Peipei, not missing the disgust in her eyes.
Remembering what this old lady had once done to her mother, forgiveness was out of the question, even if she was an elder, Su Ran could not bring herself to look at her with kindness and pleasure.
Wen Peipei's expression darkened abruptly.
"It seems the lessons you've been taught these past years weren't enough, allowing that unruly and vicious nature of yours to grow increasingly unchecked."
Su Ran gave Wen Peipei a scornful look.
"What now? Want to kick me out of the Su Family again?"
Su Ran stood tall, looking down at her, her face cold as ice, her gaze chilling to the bone.
"Old lady, have you done so many bad things that even your memory has suffered? Five years ago, I was already swept out the door by the Su Family."
The domineering aura that spilled from her instantly made Wen Peipei's face darken even further.
She despised Su Ran, and even more so the arrogant and contemptuous air about her.
As if standing beside her made her seem like nothing more than a buffoon.
The disdainful and sarcastic tone once again darkened Wen Peipei's face.
"You cursed creature, had I known you were born with such a venomous nature, I would never have brought you into this world. The Su Family would not have suffered so much, and Xinyan would not have been driven to suicide by you."
"I drove Su Xinyan to suicide?" Su Ran lazily chuckled.
Can favoritism really blind a person to this extent?
It was only by sheer luck that she had not died at the hands of that mother and daughter.
What power did she have to drive Su Xinyan to suicide?
How ridiculous!
"If it wasn't you then who? Xinyan sought you out this afternoon, and by evening, she slit her wrists. If it weren't for something you said that provoked her, why else would she do something so foolish?"
Wen Peipei said fiercely, suddenly throwing the papers in her hand towards Su Ran.
But being too light, they fell midway and slowly floated down to Su Ran's feet.
Su Ran raised an eyebrow and looked down.
She saw what seemed to be a 'suicide note' catching her eye.
She lost interest after reading just two lines.
A so-called suicide note, in plain terms was just a letter filled with grievances and complaints, wasn't it?
It appears to be an act of desperation!
Wen Peipei glared at Su Ran, "You can forget about your marriage with Gu Heng. With such an incident, don't you think you should compensate Xinyan? Besides, Gu Heng's heart isn't with you. Him and Xinyan share mutual affection, they are in love. You should take this opportunity to bring them together. A melon forcibly twisted off its vine isn't sweet, why bother wedging yourself between them?"
