Chapter 218 Taking Back the Money That Belongs to Us
Upon hearing Su Yingqing's harsh words, Chen Yuqin's expression changed drastically.
She shook her head, her voice trembling, "But... your dad will be heartbroken if he finds out. I don't want him to be sad..."
"sad?"
Su Yingqing's voice suddenly rose, her eyes full of sarcasm, "Has he ever cared about us? Mom, you cheated on him, he has no feelings for us anymore! You still expect him to feel sorry for you?"
Chen Yuqin's face turned pale instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Yingqing, don't say that... Mom is also feeling bad."
"Feeling bad? Then tell me, what should we do?" Su Yingqing's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "He doesn't care about us, are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
Chen Yuqin lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs: "But... Mom really doesn't want to hurt him. After all, we once..."
"In the past?" Su Yingqing interrupted her, her tone sharp. "The love they once shared is long gone! Now he only has eyes for Su Yingxue and doesn't care about us, mother and daughter, at all!"
Chen Yuqin's tears finally fell, her voice trembling: "Yingqing, Mom knows I'm sorry... but Mom really doesn't know what to do..."
"Don't know?" Su Yingqing sneered. "Then listen to me! We can't be soft-hearted anymore, or we'll just be trampled under his feet!"
Chen Yuqin looked up at her daughter's cold face, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
As she recalled Su Zhijian's indifference and estrangement over the years, a chill gradually crept into her heart.
“Perhaps…you’re right,” she said softly, her voice resolute. “Mom can’t go on like this.”
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Su Yingqing's eyes, and her tone softened slightly: "Mom, don't worry, as long as we get the Su family's assets, we won't have to depend on others anymore."
Chen Yuqin wiped away her tears and took a deep breath: "But... what should we do? Although your grandfather is ill, he won't easily put his handprint on the document."
"You don't need to worry about that." Su Yingqing's lips curled into a cold smile. "I have my own methods. As long as you cooperate with me, everything will go smoothly."
Chen Yuqin looked at her daughter, feeling both heartache and helplessness.
She knew that Su Yingqing had made up her mind, and there was no point in her hesitating any longer.
“Okay, Mom will listen to you,” she said softly, her voice firm. “We, mother and daughter, can’t let anyone bully us anymore.”
A hint of relief flashed in Su Yingqing's eyes as she grasped her mother's hand: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely make sure we live a good life."
Chen Yuqin nodded, but her heart remained heavy.
She knew that once she embarked on this path, there was no turning back.
But for her daughter, she was willing to risk everything.
"Yingqing, Mom will help you," she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of determination. "Together, we'll take back what belongs to us."
Su Yingqing's lips curled up slightly, a ruthless glint flashing in her eyes: "That's right, Mom, we will definitely succeed."
The mother and daughter looked at each other, as if they already knew what the other was thinking.
"Mom, you rest first, I'll go prepare." Su Yingqing released her mother's hand and said calmly, "We'll start tomorrow."
Chen Yuqin nodded and watched her daughter leave the room.
She felt both nervous and expectant, as if she could already see hope for the future.
“Zhijian, I’m sorry…” she murmured softly, tears welling up again. “This time, I can only choose my daughter.”
She knew that from this moment on, she had to harden her heart in order to secure happiness for herself and her daughter.
……
When Su Yingxue and her group returned to Pengcheng, it was already past 2 p.m.
Sunlight streamed through the car window onto her face, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in her heart.
"I want to go to the funeral hall to see Grandpa first," she said softly, her voice tinged with urgency.
Tan Zhengchu held her hand, his tone gentle yet firm: "Yingxue, you're already very tired. Go home and rest for a while. You can go to the mourning hall tomorrow."
Su Yingxue frowned, a hint of anxiety flashing in her eyes: "But I want to go now, Grandpa..."
“I know you’re upset, but your health is more important,” Tan Zhengchu interrupted her, his tone filled with undeniable concern. “The children need you too.”
Su Yingxue was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, let's go home first."
Upon returning to the Tan family's old residence, Su Yingxue first went to see the children.
Seven children surrounded her. Although they were young, they seemed to sense the heavy atmosphere in the house. They were all so well-behaved that it was heartbreaking.
"Mom, Great-Grandpa..." Da Bao hesitated, his eyes filled with worry.
Su Yingxue forced a smile and patted Da Bao's head: "It's okay, Mom will take you to see your great-grandfather tomorrow."
After calming the children down, she returned to her room and went into the bathroom.
The person in the mirror looked pale, with dark circles under their eyes, and looked extremely haggard.
"Grandpa..." she murmured softly, tears streaming down her face.
Just then, Tan Zhengchu pushed open the door and walked in, gently embracing her from behind.
"Don't be too sad, Grandpa would never want to see you like this." His voice was deep and gentle.
Su Yingxue closed her eyes and leaned against his chest: "I know, but I can't control myself..."
“You must control yourself.” Tan Zhengchu’s tone suddenly became serious. “The situation at the Su family is complicated right now. Grandpa’s death may be related to certain people. If you lose control of your emotions, it could make things worse.”
Su Yingxue looked up at Tan Zhengchu through the mirror: "You mean... Su Yingqing?"
Tan Zhengchu nodded: "She has always been eyeing the Su family covetously. Now that Grandpa has passed away, she will definitely take the opportunity to act. If you clash with her, it will only make the situation more chaotic."
Su Yingxue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will control my emotions."
Tan Zhengchu gently kissed her forehead: "I believe you."
The next morning, after washing up, Su Yingxue changed into a black dress and put on a black coat.
Her expression remained sorrowful, but a hint of determination appeared in her eyes.
The seven children also changed into black clothes. The youngest child's eyes were red, clearly from crying.
"Mom, is it really true that Great-Grandpa will never wake up again?" Xiao Qi threw herself into Su Yingxue's arms, her voice choked with sobs.
Su Yingxue squatted down and gently wiped away Xiaoqi's tears: "Great-grandfather has gone to a very far place, but he will always be watching over us."
Tan Zhengchu walked over and picked up Xiaoqi: "Heaven is a beautiful place. Your great-grandfather will be very happy there."
