This question directly stumped Shao Zheng’gang as well, and he could feel the threat within the words.
Seeing his silence, Su Ding continued, “Today you provoked the Jin family in my name. This is the first and the last time. If there is a next time, I will make all of you leave Jiangcheng. I mean what I say!”
Her words were overbearing and direct, without any beating around the bush.
Coupled with the unquestionable arrogance on Su Ding’s face, everyone was convinced she was not joking.
Shao Jun dared not say anything further and cowered in the corner.
If he had known Su Ding possessed such power earlier, he would never have dared to oppose her. Who could have imagined that the woman who had cuckolded Young Master Jin could recapture his heart?
Brilliant! Truly brilliant!
Old Madam Shao’s expression was grim but suppressed. After contemplating the company she had managed for so many years, she finally stood up with resolve.
“Little Xu, it is Grandma’s fault today. Grandma was blinded by greed. Please forgive Grandma. Grandma was only thinking of our Shao family’s company!”
Old Madam Shao stood up, her body trembling, and walked to Su Ding, tears streaming down her face. “Grandma promises that she will never contact the Jin family privately again and will never cause you trouble. Can you ask Ou Ya Company to lift the blockade on our Shao family’s enterprises?”
Shao Zhengchang had been worried about this matter for many days. Seeing Su Ding’s demeanor, he truly didn’t know how to speak. Now that Old Madam had spoken, he immediately stood up and walked to Old Madam Shao’s side, bowing to Su Ding.
“Little Xu, your uncle also apologizes to you here. It was my fault for not disciplining my son properly. He broke your bracelet, and I, with a petty mind, suspected you of coming to Ou Ya to sabotage us, causing you trouble.”
Shao Zhengchang bowed very low, saying sincerely, “Uncle knows that you are willing to give Grandma a bracelet worth two million, so you must have us in your heart. It’s all Shao Jun’s fault. I will make Shao Jun apologize to you…”
“Shao Jun!”
Shao Zhengchang turned around and yelled sternly at Shao Jun, who was in the corner.
Shao Jun flinched and quickly trotted over, glancing sheepishly at Su Ding. He said weakly, “Little Xu, it’s my fault, cousin. Please let our family off the hook…”
Su Ding looked at the three people groveling before her. She felt no satisfaction, only annoyance and disgust.
If they hadn’t known she had the power to retaliate, they would not be acting this way today.
“You caused trouble at Ou Ya Group and had your cooperation canceled. This is what you deserve. Begging me is useless.”
Su Ding said coldly, “I made it very clear today. Do not bother the Jin family again. If there is a next time, Jiangcheng will not have the Shao family, nor will it have the Shao family’s companies. Do you remember that?”
The faces of the three people stiffened.
A look of humiliation appeared on Old Madam Shao’s aged face. She was furious in her heart. As an elder, she had already given Su Ding plenty of respect, yet Su Ding showed no regard for her dignity!
Shao Zhengchang’s heart sank, feeling a suffocating despair. Was his company going to end like this? Without cooperation, there would be no business, no money. He was facing bankruptcy and closure! xxs
Shao Jun clenched his fists, cursing inwardly: I knew it, Su Ding, you viper! You hold a grudge against your family. It’s a ghost of a chance you’d help!
“Little Xu…”
Seeing this scene, Shao Zheng’gang hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, “Do you remember when you were little and came to Grandma’s house? You liked Grandma a lot, didn't you? Uncle cooked for you, and Shao Jun played with you. We are destined to be a family, and you also bear the surname Shao. Weren’t your words a bit too harsh just now…”
“Heh heh, harsh?”
Su Ding’s indifferent face showed a mocking smile. “I didn’t intend to say anything else today, but since you brought up the past, let me reminisce.”
“Six years ago, when my mother was critically ill in the hospital, what were you, this husband, doing? Are we a family?”
“When I was at my wit’s end and came to Old Madam Shao’s house to borrow money, did anyone treat me and my mother as family?!”
Su Ding’s voice was sonorous and powerful, filled with deep hatred.
