His disgusting demeanor made me sick. My father slammed the table in anger and shouted, "Is my precious daughter someone you can toy with? Get out! From now on, the Su Family will sever all ties with your Han family!"
Han Qing looked at me with persistence in his eyes, still seeing me as the devoted fiancée he once knew, wishing I could marry him immediately.
"Su Lin, have you forgotten? When we were kids, aside from my two brothers, you loved playing with me the most. I never thought about breaking off our engagement. She claims to be the most favored young lady of the Su Family, while you are merely an Adopted Daughter. That’s why I misunderstood…”
I slapped him hard across the face. "Who do you think you are? Get out!"
Han Qing was taken aback by my blatant disregard for his pride, yet due to my status, he hesitated to give up easily.
However, Su Qi couldn't care less about that; she rushed forward and clung to Han Qing's leg, pleading, "Han Qing, she doesn’t want to marry you, but I do! As long as I can be with you, I’m willing to give up everything. I am the one who truly loves you!"
Han Qing, frustrated by my rejection, found an outlet for his anger. He kicked Su Qi repeatedly.
"Do you even realize what you've done? You’ve ruined the alliance between the Su and Han families and still expect me to want you?"
The hall echoed with Su Qi's cries of despair as my father remained resolute in letting her face the consequences of her actions, ignoring her completely.
At that moment, my two brothers limped over, having been injured in the scuffle. They cast aside their usual camaraderie with Han Qing and scolded him fiercely. "Get out! Who allowed you to act recklessly here? This is not a place for your insolence!"
Before leaving, Han Qing feigned deep emotion and glanced back at me. "Su Lin, you're about to inherit the company soon. When that happens, I'll come back with ten times the betrothal gifts to marry you."
I nearly retched at his words; the Han family had already drained their resources. To protect his family’s legacy, Han Qing's father had gradually distanced himself from Shanghai. At a crucial moment when my mother was transferring her inheritance rights, he came to propose to me.
When my mother asked for my opinion, my impression of him was still from our childhood when he played with me and was always considerate. So I agreed without hesitation.
Little did I know that Su Qi's few words had bewitched him completely; he mistakenly thought my mother had readily accepted him without any ulterior motives.
Han Qing was right; our families were now completely estranged. Without me, it seemed that the Han family would rapidly decline in this generation.
As my brother had just chased away Han Qing and was about to help Su Qi up…
Father warned coldly, "Your mother is coming back soon. She promised to hand over the inheritance rights to Su Lin today."
Su Qi, who was only a month older than me, and my two brothers had naively believed that our mother would pass the inheritance rights to the nominal eldest daughter. After all, in their eyes, Su Qi was perfect; no one could compare to her. Once Su Qi inherited the company, she would naturally no longer fear punishment from Father.
So when they heard Father's announcement, they were momentarily unable to accept it and stood in stunned silence for a while. Even more unable to accept it was Su Qi, who felt utterly hopeless as she knelt on the ground, clutching Father's leg and pleading, "Father, I'm still just a child! I'm not like my sister Su Lin, who has always been loved by our mother. I am all alone in the Su Family. Today, I lost face in front of all the guests at Jingquan because of my sister Su Lin."
"I won't compete with sister Su Lin for anything anymore. Please, Father, spare me."
As she spoke of being alone in the Su Family, my eldest brother's face darkened involuntarily. No matter how well others treated her, to her, they were merely tools. With our parents absent, both brothers saw her as their sole focus. I was the one who truly felt alone, and my eldest brother glanced at me with a hint of guilt.
The Second Brother muttered indignantly, "Mother is really unfair. There should be order among siblings; doesn't she fear being criticized for this?"
Suddenly he changed his tone, "Father, why not let Mother give Su Qi a company to inherit? It should be a multinational corporation since Su Lin can't accommodate her; there must be a place for Su Qi to stand on her own."
"Eldest Brother, what do you think?"
This suggestion thrilled Su Qi. I couldn't bear to listen any longer and rolled my eyes, reminding them, "Do you think inheriting a company is as easy as buying groceries? How could Mother possibly agree?"
After all, she was still the beloved younger sister; seeing Su Qi's disappointed expression affected Eldest Brother. He paused for a moment before resolutely saying to me, "Su Lin, you will always be my sister. Please give the inheritance rights to Su Qi."
"I promise you and Second Brother that there will always be a place for you in this family."
Second Brother quickly nodded in agreement. I was utterly stunned by their shamelessness. If Mother knew how these two cousins treated me like a white-eyed wolf, she would surely not let them off easily.
