QTIMP -Chapter 318  Character Persona – Vain (Part 12)

As for her husband, Old Meng, he had the typical bad habit many men had—he always felt that women should be inferior to men.

He didn’t even think about it. How could little Si Qiu be an ordinary child if she could make that fox-like Si Yangui dote on her so much?

Besides, others might not know, but how could they not know how much of a role Si Qiu had played in helping the group develop to where it was today?

Fortunately, although her husband wasn’t very sharp-minded, he was willing to listen to advice. Otherwise, she was genuinely afraid that the relationship between the two families would fall apart.

“Our Qiuqiu is such a thoughtful child. Once this busy period is over, Auntie will take you shopping. Auntie will pay for everything then.”

Si Qiu directly rested her head on Wang Cui’s shoulder. “Then I won’t be polite!”

Wang Cui tapped her forehead lightly with a finger. “You little girl, if you’re still being polite with me, I’ll get angry.”

This scene happened to be seen by Yang Meina, who had just returned from shopping overseas.

She was so angry that she nearly exploded. This daughter of hers was truly a waste of having been born. She had actually been deliberately avoiding her own mother and getting close to an outsider instead.

Especially that little brat Si Qiu. She never expected that little girl to be so capable either. She had heard that not only were her grades excellent, but the skating she learned had also earned her many international awards.

Thinking about how that useless man Si Yangui had actually become successful, and thinking that he would never have another child in the future, didn’t that mean everything would belong to that girl Si Qiu?

How could that little brat have the fortune to inherit such a huge fortune?

What about the son she herself gave birth to? No matter what, he was still Si Qiu’s biological younger brother.

Right now, if Si Qiu treated their mother and son well, then in the future, her son could help Si Qiu manage the company. After all, what could a girl possibly understand?

By then, if the Si family’s company and the Su family’s company merged together…

Previously, Su Dashan had investigated the situation of the father and daughter.

Originally, she thought, “I’m her biological mother. How could any child not love their own mother?” So she wanted to get close to that girl. At that time, wouldn’t both the father and daughter be completely under her control?

She had tried to approach Si Qiu and build a relationship, but who would have thought that this girl was always picked up and dropped off by a driver? In reality, she simply didn’t want to face Si Yangui.

She refused to admit that she was feeling guilty, instead attributing everything to the fact that he had been a soldier before.

He must have killed people back then, otherwise he wouldn’t be so intimidating.

But in the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and she still hadn’t been able to get close to that girl.

However, she soon received another piece of news—Si Yangui had actually gotten himself another girlfriend.

And it was said to be the kind that could lead to marriage.

According to Su Dashan, that woman was prettier than her, younger than her, and had a better family background than her.

She really couldn’t sit still anymore. She wanted to find that woman and have a talk.

She wanted that woman to understand reality. After all, what use was there in marrying Si Yangui? Since she couldn’t have children, everything would still belong to her daughter in the end.

Who would have thought that she would actually be warned by someone?

After gritting her teeth, she decided to go find Si Yangui herself. Unexpectedly, she was one step too late—he had already gone to Beijing.

When she received the call, she almost smashed her phone.

Carrying a bellyful of anger, she stormed out of the beauty salon and got into the car her driver had brought, returning home.

When she arrived home full of anger, she saw Su Dashan’s fierce-looking face.

“Who made you so angry? Why are you wearing such a resentful expression?”

Years ago, Su Dashan’s previous wife had fallen ill and passed away, leaving him with a daughter.

He made some money doing buying-and-selling businesses outside.

When he returned to the village, he met Yang Meina from the neighboring village. Although she wasn’t as fashionable as the women outside, she was still exceptionally charming.

After all, Si Yangui’s military allowance in the past had all been sent home. Yang Meina only needed to take care of Si Qiu, and she basically didn’t have to do anything at home, so she had been fairly well taken care of.

However, she had little experience with the outside world. She was easily attracted by the new things Su Dashan brought back from abroad, and before long, she cheated on him.

Originally, Su Dashan only wanted to have some fun and never intended to marry her. But unexpectedly, she became pregnant.

When she first found out she was pregnant, she was quite panicked.

Unexpectedly, her luck was pretty good. Although Si Yangui had returned, he had been injured during a mission. Not only could he no longer have children, but there was also a possibility that he would become disabled in the future.

She took care of him for a few days, secretly took some of his retirement compensation money, and when she realized there was really nothing more she could squeeze out of him, she turned around and filed for divorce, then married Su Dashan.

After entering the Su family, she gave birth to a son. With that, she immediately secured her position and used her son as leverage to successfully obtain a marriage certificate with Su Dashan.

She knew that Su Dashan had many women outside. She couldn’t control him, so she could only turn a blind eye. Her plan was to raise their son well and have him inherit the family fortune in the future.

In his early years, Su Dashan had engaged in smuggling and reselling goods in Russia. His hands were not clean, but he had indeed made a lot of money. After returning, he started a real estate company.

Over the past few years, his company had competed with the Si family’s real estate business many times. His business sense was not as good as Si Yangui’s.

He relied only on having connections above him and using ruthless methods. According to Si Yangui’s investigation, the number of lives lost because of his people was not just one or two.

“Nowhere special. Didn’t I make an appointment with a few ladies to go for beauty treatments?”

Being looked up and down by Su Dashan made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She walked over and sat beside him. Just as she reached out to hold his arm, he shook her off.

She nearly fell onto the sofa.

“Enough. Look at your age already. Why are you still acting so clingy? By the way, didn’t you say you were going to find your daughter? What happened? I haven’t heard you mention it lately.”

Su Dashan’s eyes flickered.

Whenever this matter was brought up, Yang Meina felt even more upset.

“That dead girl… I wanted to approach her privately. Who knew there would always be so many people around her every day? Si Yangui is strange too. He actually cares so much about a little girl.”

Su Dashan had asked her to find Si Qiu mainly because he wanted to see if there was a way to make Si Yangui suffer a loss. If they used the situation properly, perhaps he could make a huge profit.

However, when he heard Yang Meina belittle her daughter, he felt unhappy. After all, he also had a daughter, and he actually liked his eldest daughter quite a lot.

So he said coldly, telling her not to complain like some rural old woman.

“Just now Yingying called and said she’ll come back to stay at the end of the month. Hurry up and tidy up her room.”

Su Yingying was the daughter Su Dashan had with his ex-wife. She was now 22 years old and a sophomore in college. The main reason she was older than usual was because she had repeated several years after failing the entrance exams.

Every vacation, she would come back and stay for a few days. This girl looked down on Yang Meina, and the two of them constantly fought openly and secretly. The atmosphere at home was always lively.

Yang Meina reluctantly agreed, only to see Su Dashan stand up, pick up his clothes, and prepare to leave.

“Where are you going? It’s almost dinner time.”

“I made plans with someone. I won’t be eating at home, and I might not come back tonight either. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Hearing this, Yang Meina knew he was going to see one of his little lovers again. She gritted her teeth and forced out a fake smile.

“You’re always in such a hurry. Your son can’t even see you every day. Yesterday he was still telling me that he missed his dad.”

Su Dashan paused for a moment.

Their son, Su Yixuan, was eleven years old, and Su Dashan truly did like this son of his.

So while continuing to put on his shoes, he said: “Then tell him that I’ll take him out to play on Sunday.”
