Chapter 137: Chen celebration banquet: Unmasking Suyin (5)
Chen Liling’s anger and disappointment knew no bounds.
“Tell me Jianyu! Not even once did you think of Nana before you decided to give Suyin another chance? What made you think that she deserves it? How many times will you always choose Suyin over Nana!? How many times will you hurt Nana because of Suyin?”
He didn’t say a word. Everything will just sound like a pathetic excuse.
“Answer me!”
“Whatever happened tonight is only because of you! People like Suyin never change. Why couldn’t you understand this until now? If we let such monsters go then they come back every time until they quench their thirst for revenge. Until they completely destroy us!”
“Do you even know that the Suyin for whom you went to such lengths is the same woman who broke up with you because of her own selfish desires?”
Jianyu furrowed his brows.
“W-what?”
Suyin shouted. “What are you saying, Aunt? Jianyu, she is lying! I did no such thing!”
“Still trying to defend yourself?”, she snickered at her.
She looked at Jianyu, “Do you know what happened two years back?”
“Stop it! Jianyu. Don’t believe her.”
“I will tell you. So that the truth will remove the blindfold she has put on your eyes.”
Two years back.
When Mother Chen came to know about their relationship, she was strongly against it. At no cost did she want Suyin as her daughter-in-law. She understood her nature; her greed and hunger for a wealthy lifestyle.
But she wanted a girl who can be with Jianyu even when he doesn’t have his identity, who has the patience to stand with him even in turbulent times.
One cannot predict the future. Today you are at the top, tomorrow maybe you won’t. She didn’t want someone to leave him just because they may face a setback.
And she knew Suyin had every quality to turn her back. She would be the first person to abandon her family.
Chen Liling understood it at once that Suyin loves Jianyu’s background, not Jianyu himself.
She tried very hard to make Jianyu understand this but he was too blind in her love. Suyin would also act like she genuinely loved him which made it almost impossible to convince him.
Four years later, Chen Liling got to know that she is trying to set up her own business; where she tried to use Jianyu’s influence for some investments behind his back. At that time, Jianyu had just taken over his CEO position. So, Chen Guiren still took the majority of decisions.
That’s why she couldn’t ask Jianyu directly to invest in her business. She knew Father Chen would never agree.
Chen Liling was enraged. Just as she thought, she was only using him. She couldn’t take it anymore.
So one day, she asked Suyin to meet her.
“Aunt. I’m so glad to meet you. I cannot express how happy I am that you have finally approved our relationship.”, she looked pitiful.
“Who said that I have approved your relationship?”
“T-then why have you called me here?”
“I’m cutting straight to the chase. Break up with Jianyu or I will disown him from the Chen family.”
“W-what?”
“Yes. I won’t ever accept you in my family. If you want him, then you will have to accept him without his Chen family name. We will disown him from our family and business. He will be a nobody but an ordinary man.”
Suyin couldn’t believe it. She was ready to throw away her only son, the only heir.
“So tell me. Do you still want to be with Jianyu? You won’t be associated with the Chen’s anymore. Jianyu will have to start his own business from scratch. There will be no money, no huge villa to live in, no servants to attend you. Instead, it will be a small apartment. Life will be difficult.”
Suyin looked dumbfounded.
“And don’t you have your own business? I heard that you are looking for investments. Of course, Jianyu won’t be in any position to help you with the financial part. He will have his own business to start.”
Suyin froze. Does she know that I’m using his influence? Does she know about my affair with Shen Ye?
“This is too much Aunt…Why are you so against us?”, she sobbed.
She disdained seeing her act.
“Yes or no?”
She was testing Suyin. So what if she actually disowned Jianyu? He was capable enough to start his own business and also flourish in it. And she had the confidence that he can get the results in a maximum of three or four months’ time.
He and Jinhai both were trained under Chen Guiren and Liu Hai after all.
It was just a matter of four months to face the difficult time with him. If she is not able to withstand a mere four months, then how can she talk about a lifetime here? That’s a joke.
Suyin was in a dilemma. At this point when she is just starting her business, she needed many resources, and Jianyu is the gold mine of connections. If he doesn’t have the money and name then what is the use of staying with him?
And who will want to stay in a small pathetic apartment with no maids? Starting a business from scratch? God, how much time will it take to succeed? I cannot wait that long! No money means no status.
But of course, she couldn’t back out exposing her true thoughts.
“Aunt. Please think about it once again. I will do my best to become the daughter-in-law you want. But don’t disown Jianyu. He loves and respects you. He will be so heartbroken if he doesn’t get your blessings. He is Chen family’s only heir. What about your-“
“Enough. I only want a yes or no answer.”, she was bored seeing her acting.
Damn it! Why is this woman so stubborn? What is not there to like in me!?
I have no choice but to break it off now. Anyway, I have Shen Ye with me. His influence is not that bad either.
She shed crocodile tears and said, “Alright, aunt. If that is what you want. I will break up with him. I cannot be so selfish to drive a wedge between Jianyu and his family. I love him and hope that he can be happy in the future.”
Chen Liling laughed inwardly. What a terrible actress!
“Good. Never try to contact him again. Stay far away from him.”
After that, Suyin broke up without giving any reason to Jianyu and immediately left abroad. She continued her affair with Shen Ye and managed to expand her business.
