Chapter 660: 0650 Chickens flying and dogs jumping Chapter 660: 0650 Chickens flying and dogs jumping Tan Lirong sat quietly to one side, not saying a word. Hearing Wen Peipei’s words, her eyes flickered.

She bit her lip, looked at Wen Peipei, and said softly,
“Mom, doesn’t Dad still have twenty-five percent of the Enrich shares? There are also real estate funds and stocks. Shouldn’t we discuss with Dad and ask him to temporarily take them out to deal with the emergency?”

At these words, Wen Peipei’s gaze suddenly fixed on Tan Lirong.

Tan Lirong’s body immediately tensed up, her gaze shifty as she dared not meet Wen Peipei’s eyes.

“Mom, I don’t mean anything else. I just think that the most important thing right now is to pay those penalties. Xinyan has thirty percent of the shares, and with Dad’s twenty-five percent, Enrich is still part of the Su Family’s holdings, so it won’t just change hands that easily.”

Su Xinyan, who had been utterly despondent, saw a glimmer of hope in Tan Lirong’s words.

Wen Peipei squinted her eyes at Tan Lirong, thought about what she had said, and found it somewhat reasonable.

She looked towards Su Hongde and said in a deep voice,
“Tomorrow, have your father join us at the shareholder meeting as well.”

Su Hongde looked troubled, “Dad has been out of the company’s affairs for a long time, I’m afraid he won’t agree.”

Su Zhongyuan had stepped back from the company’s affairs several years ago and had ceded control to Wen Peipei and Su Hongde.

Otherwise, neither her role as the acting chairman nor Su Hongde’s role as the CEO would have come to pass.

But Wen Peipei didn’t see it that way. Even though Su Zhongyuan had stepped back, he still held the most shares in Enrich.

He wouldn’t interfere with minor company matters, but the major decisions were still his to make.

Also, if it weren’t for his constant indulgence of Su Ran, that scourge, none of today’s troubles would have occurred.

Wen Peipei snorted coldly, “He is, after all, the chairman of Enrich. With the company facing such a serious crisis, he has no choice but to agree.”

Su Hongde nodded and said no more.

Seeing a slim chance to revive Enrich, Wen Peipei’s grim expression softened somewhat.

She sat down slowly on the sofa, and the living room quieted down again.

Su Xinyan, sitting on one side, appeared somewhat at a loss.

No one knew what to say about the things she had done.

With irrefutable evidence, she was now banned for life from the World Designer Competition, expelled from the Music Association, and had her Grade 8 pianist certificate invalidated.

Moreover, that Grade 8 pianist certificate had been obtained through bribery, an utter disgrace before the entire world.

Now, the Su Family had become the laughingstock of Yong City, and she, Su Xinyan, had no place to turn anywhere in the world.

Wen Peipei was hoping to turn things around through her, not knowing whether to call her own thoughts daydreaming or delusional.

Seeing the somber Wen Peipei and Su Hongde, Su Xinyan felt extremely panicked.

She bit her lip, steeled her heart, and knelt down before the two of them.

“Grandma, Dad, I’m sorry, it’s all because of me that the Su Family is suffering. Please give me another chance. I will manage Enrich properly and take it to new heights…”
“Take it to new heights? How can you? Tell me, how can you take Enrich to new heights now?”

Wen Peipei’s anger, which had subsided, flared up again at Su Xinyan’s words.

“Go listen to how people are talking about the Su Family. From the day you entered our doors, I had high hopes for you, placing everything on your shoulders. To give you a legitimate status, I disregarded what others thought and drove Yaosang Qianyue away to elevate your mother. Because you didn’t like Su Ran, I once again drove her out of the house five years ago. I removed all obstacles for you, gave you everything you wished for, but how did you repay me?”

Wen Peipei’s words were filled with sarcasm, though it was unclear whether she was mocking Su Xinyan or herself for doing so much for Su Xinyan.

“Your starting point is a height many people can’t reach even if they strive for it their entire lives, but even so, you are still inferior to Su Ran in every way. In design, you are not Su Ran’s equal! Piano, even your certificates are fake, while she is Elder Zhou’s closed-door disciple! Su Ran was able to establish Qianran International on her own. And look at you– I still have to spend money to pay your penalty fees…”

“All my life, I, Wen Peipei, have been shrewd, only to be ultimately ruined by you and your mother. Do you know what people are saying outside now? They say Wen Peipei, who’s schemed and manipulated relentlessly, blindly let a mother and daughter pair of thieves into the Su Family’s house, destroying everything the Su Family had!”

The words “mother and daughter thieves” caused a sudden change of expression on the faces of Su Xinyan and Tan Lirong.

Su Hongde, who was standing to the side, also had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Thieves?

His wife, his daughter–they were thieves?

How ironic these words were!

Suddenly, the beautiful and dignified, elegant face of Yaosang Qianyue appeared in his mind.

The excessive mockery on Wen Peipei’s face made Su Xinyan and Tan Lirong too afraid to make a sound.

“Do you know how shameful the things you’ve done are? And what’s more laughable is that I actually shielded someone as shameless as you! I risked the Su Family for you, lost the reputation, the wealth! And yet you’ve embarrassed me in front of the whole world– is this how you repay me? You… you jinx!”

As she spoke, Wen Peipei lost control of her emotions and, raising her hand, slapped Su Xinyan’s face with a “smack.”

“If something happens to the company tomorrow, you and your daughter had better get out of the Su Family!”

Hearing that Wen Peipei wanted to kick them out, Tan Lirong panicked too!

“Mom, how can you talk like this? Even if Xinyan did plagiarize, which is indeed her fault, it also brought the Su Family five years of glory and riches.

She has given so much to the Su Family and brought so many benefits during that time. If the Su Family is what it is today, it’s all thanks to Xinyan. You can’t just abandon her like an exhausted horse, now thinking of kicking us out as soon as there is trouble.”

At that, Wen Peipei felt a sudden pain in her heart; she clutched at her chest, glaring at Tan Lirong with fury.

“You… you’re very good, aren’t you? Now that you think the Su Family is going down, you dare to talk to me in that tone. What has she contributed to the Su Family? If not for her, the Su Family would not be where it is today!!”

Tan Lirong sneered, “You can’t talk like that. If not for Xinyan, the Su Family wouldn’t have today either.

And the one who has truly been considering the Su Family’s interests has always been Xinyan. It’s not like you can start counting on Su Ran now. Even if you wanted to place your hopes on her, you’d have to see if she’s willing to accept them, you…”

“Slap–”
Tan Lirong’s words were cut short as a crisp slap landed on her face.

She covered her face, looking incredulously at Su Hongde, who had suddenly struck her.

“You hit me?”

All these years, he had never laid a hand on her.

Su Hongde’s face was dark as he said coldly,
“Who allowed you to talk to Mom in that tone!”

Compared to the dignified and elegant Yaosang Qianyue, Su Hongde suddenly felt that the woman before him was significantly pettier.

Every move she made couldn’t shake off the visage of a vulgar, greedy person!

How could he have ever thought this woman was better than Yaosang Qianyue?

“How dare you hit me? Do you, Su Hongde, have no conscience? I’ve managed the Su Family for so many years, and now that you think we’re useless, you intend to kick us out just like you did to Yaosang Qianyue and her daughter before, don’t you? I tell you, that’s wishful thinking!”

“Shut your mouth!”

“Why should I? Did I hit a nerve? You… Ah!!”
