Su Bingyan never expected such good fortune to fall upon her.
The land in Qingshuiwan!
It was the most prosperous area in Jiangcheng, worth its weight in gold!
Since starting her business, Bingyan's biggest dream had been to own a piece of land. Then, she would build a grand commercial building so her younger sisters would never have to worry about their lives again.
This simple dream was the strength that had sustained her until now.
And at this moment, this dream was suddenly so close.
Su Bingyan splashed cold water on her face, calming herself down.
"I'll head back to the company right away. Don't panic, it might just be a misunderstanding!"
Tianyi Group's主动 approach for cooperation felt like a dream.
This was true for Su Bingyan, and also for the entire business circle of Jiangcheng.
"Tianyi Group acquired the prime land in Qingshuiwan themselves. We originally thought they would seek cooperation with several large real estate companies, but why did it end up going to that Su Bingyan?"
Some business magnates were puzzled, "Who is Su Bingyan?"
In a short time, Su Bingyan became the shining new star of Jiangcheng's business community!
Xie Chang'an also received this news immediately.
"As I expected, the man Su Bingyan found outside is unfathomable. This is definitely a great opportunity for our Xie family!"
Xie Chang'an was so excited his body burned, and he immediately called the Xie family's old madam.
"Mom, good news, our Xie family might get that piece of land in Qingshuiwan!"
With one call from Xie Chang'an, everyone in the Xie family, young and old, rushed over.
Led by the old madam, including the eldest brother and his wife, and their only daughter, Xie Xinying.
At this moment, the Xie family villa was filled with people.
After the old madam sat down, she tapped the ground with her cane and directly asked Xie Chang'an, "What's going on with that land in Qingshuiwan? Chang'an, are you really sure?"
Xie Chang'an, unable to hide his joy, boldly recounted Su Bingyan's story.
The old madam's face turned ashen, "I knew it! Back then, you insisted on being with Liu Shanshan, and the family couldn't stop you. It turns out that slut had a bastard!"
Xie Chang'an's face flushed with embarrassment, "Mom, she is indeed my daughter. We had a paternity test done. How can you call her a bastard? Besides, Shanshan is also your daughter-in-law..."
The old madam coughed heavily, "Alright, let's put that aside for now. Does that Su Bingyan want to return to our Xie family now?"
Xie Chang'an nervously rubbed his hands, "Bingyan is actually very capable. Look at this land in Qingshuiwan, Tianyi Group specifically wants to cooperate with her!"
Behind the old madam, the eldest sister-in-law sneered, "Second brother, don't you understand yet? Your illegitimate daughter outside, what did she trade for this cooperation? She must be being kept, right?"
Xie Chang'an was furious.
These words were practically thrown in his face.
But he didn't dare to retort.
The Xie family's eldest daughter-in-law was from a true wealthy family. Her father was the deputy director of the Southern Prefecture Tax Department, holding significant power. Her brothers were either rich tycoons or high-ranking officials. Xie Chang'an's branch of the family couldn't compare.
The old madam looked at her capable eldest daughter-in-law and liked her more and more.
She smiled and patted the sofa next to her, "Eldest daughter-in-law, please sit down and rest. You must be tired from the journey. Tell me, what should we do about this matter?"
The Xie family's eldest daughter-in-law sat down with a smile, not being polite.
"Mom, I've thought about it. Our Xie family needs this land. We'll make it clear to that Su Bingyan, let her hand over this cooperation to us, and then she can enter the Xie family."
Xie Chang'an's eyes widened, "Sister-in-law, they specifically named my daughter Bingyan for cooperation. How can we just take it away?"
The Xie family's eldest daughter-in-law smiled, "Second brother, why is your mind so inflexible? It's very simple. Once Su Bingyan enters the Xie family, all wealth belongs to our family. She doesn't have much ability anyway. Just tell them that the Xie family is willing to jointly develop with Tianyi Group. Isn't that how it will be done!"
The old madam nodded, looking very pleased, "This would be best for our family's reputation and business. However, who should be in charge of this matter? It's best to choose a junior to handle it, to temper them."
This was self-evident.
Su Bingyan was out of the question. Xie Chang'an's son, Xie Yunfeng, was useless. That left only Xie Xinying.
At this moment, the eldest sister-in-law gently nudged her only daughter.
Xie Xinying, who was playing with her phone, then came to her grandmother in a coy manner, cooing, "Grandma, do you think I can do it? I've been wanting to show my skills for a long time."
The old madam nodded repeatedly, "It's time for Xinying to make an appearance. This matter is settled!"
Then she looked at the pale-faced Xie Chang'an, "What? Are you not satisfied with my arrangement?"
Xie Chang'an shivered and said in a low, submissive voice, "Since you've said so, how dare I object."
"Hmph! Stand up straight!" The old madam's face also showed displeasure, "Chang'an, you are also a son of the Xie family, why are you like this, with no spirit at all? It's all because of your sickly wife!"
Just then, Xie Yunfeng came out from the second floor.
He was still holding a medicine bag, his face was flushed red, and he descended step by step, gritting his teeth.
"Grandma! I'm not convinced! This is too unfair!"
Hmm?
The whole family stared at Xie Yunfeng.
Xie Chang'an was terrified, "Yunfeng, apologize to Grandma quickly!"
Xie Yunfeng trembled with anger, utterly disappointed in his father.
He stubbornly bit his lip, "You call yourselves my elders? You came here and didn't even ask about my mother's condition, and you're already trying to snatch my sister's business? What kind of people are you?"
He was shouting.
Behind him, the Xie family's eldest daughter-in-law frowned and muttered, "Didn't they say she's already beyond help? Someone who's about to die, why ask?"
Xie Yunfeng's head buzzed, and in his rage, he raised his hand.
The Xie family's eldest daughter-in-law screamed exaggeratedly, "Mom, look! He's so disrespectful, he... he's going to hit me!"
The old madam trembled with anger, "Xie Yunfeng, kneel!"
Xie Yunfeng's eyes turned red, but at this moment, his eldest uncle and father rushed forward and forced him to his knees.
"You are punished to kneel for a day! You are not allowed to get up without my permission!"
The old madam looked at her grandson with disgust.
They say grandmothers dote on their grandsons the most, but Xie Yunfeng looked too much like his mother. Seeing him reminded her of Liu Shanshan, who had ruined her son's life. How could this old woman not be angry?
She swung her cane and hit Xie Yunfeng twice.
Then, pointing at Xie Chang'an, she scolded, "Useless thing, you can't even raise your son properly. Hurry up and contact Su Bingyan to handle this matter properly!"
Taking her eldest daughter-in-law's family, they went directly to the private room on the third floor. Even now, not a single word was asked about Liu Shanshan's illness!
Xie Yunfeng knelt until evening, unable to even stand.
Filled with grief and indignation, he gritted his teeth, got up, and hobbled to the second floor to change his mother's medicine.
Thinking of his utter powerlessness, he cried out loudly.
Liu Shanshan could no longer speak, her face as pale as paper. Her trembling fingers pointed to the phone.
Her mind was still clear, and she had overheard the conversation downstairs.
"You, your sister... can't... let her come back... she'll be bullied, bullied to death!"
Xie Yunfeng wiped away his tears, comforted his mother, and then quickly called his newly acknowledged sister, Bingyan.
"Sister, absolutely don't come back to the Xie family. There are no good people here!" Xie Yunfeng choked out the story.
Su Bingyan on the other end was silent for a long time, then said sternly, "Take care of Mom first. I'll be at the villa right away!"
