Could it be... Did Xiao Li really betray me long ago?
How laughable. I actually believed all this time that he was a devoted, single-minded man. Turns out, he was already keeping a mistress, and rushed off to a hotel with another woman the moment we divorced!
For a moment, Su Qingrou felt her heart grow cold, tears involuntarily rolling down her cheeks.
While crying and complaining, Su Liya secretly observed the changes in Su Qingrou's expression. Seeing her sister crying, Su Liya felt a secret glee: Now you've given up on that dog for good, haven't you?
Ouch, making me get slapped a few times—this isn't over!
Still wearing a fragile facade, Su Liya wiped her tears. "Sister, he definitely thinks that the Su family only has us two sisters left, helpless and with no one to rely on, so he dares to bully us like this. How about... we ask Young Master Yang for help to teach him a lesson?"
Su Qingrou wiped her tears, her face pale as she bit her lip. "Forget it. I'm already divorced from him. Let it end here."
"But, Sister..."
"Don't say anymore. I'm divorced from him. That's it." Su Qingrou closed her eyes resolutely, her heart aching terribly.
Maybe it's for the best. Everything with him ends here. Let him go pursue his own happiness...
Su Liya was extremely unwilling. How could she just let it go after being beaten so badly? That dog deserved to be hacked to pieces and thrown into a boiling oil pot!
Soon, Su Qingrou opened her eyes, wiping away her tears. "I know you're angry, but we don't have the mind to deal with that right now. I plan to go to the Ning family later to discuss financing. If successful, we won't be at the mercy of the Yang family anymore."
Su Liya was suddenly alarmed. *She actually wants to latch onto the Ning family!*
The Ning family was a prominent, well-known family in Lancheng, with assets over ten billion—completely incomparable to the Yangs. If Su Qingrou succeeded in latching onto the Ning family, that would be disastrous!
Su Liya wiped her tears, putting on a wronged expression. "Sister, me getting hit doesn't matter. I'm just afraid of embarrassing you. Sister, the Ning family is so big... would they help a small family like ours?"
"We've never had direct cooperation with the Ning family. They wouldn't be willing to finance us, would they?"
Su Qingrou sighed. "I heard that Ning Qingwan just took over from her mother as the chairman of the Ning Group. A new leader often re-evaluates partnerships. It's a rare opportunity for us. I want to try."
"Over the past two years, our Su Group has taken on many secondary projects from their Ning Group and completed them well. I think there's still a possibility for direct cooperation."
Su Liya's heart instantly sank, her eyes flickering uncertainly. Once the Su family latched onto the Ning family, why would they need to fear Young Master Yang's threats? All the promises made to Young Master Yang would come to nothing, and all her plans would fail.
No. I absolutely cannot let Su Qingrou succeed!
Su Liya put on her pitiful, charming look again, hugging Su Qingrou's arm and acting spoiled. "Sister, take me with you. You know, Ning Qingwan has been my idol since school. Ning Qingwan and her mother are just so amazing. I still haven't seen Ning Qingwan in person."
"Sister, our Su family only has us two sisters to rely on now. Let's go together, please? I'm begging you, Sister..."
Su Qingrou nodded helplessly. "Alright, alright, I'll take you."
Su Liya immediately jumped for joy. "Sis, you're the best! Let me just use the restroom and do my makeup…"
Once inside the bathroom, Su Liya locked the door, pulled out her phone, and quickly sent a message to the contact labeled "Moneybags": Young Master Yang, big trouble! My sister is going to the Ning family to ask for help…
As soon as the Rolls-Royce entered the Ning family villa, a security guard came running over.
"Young Miss, the Madam has had another attack… she has no heartbeat…"
Ning Qingwan was horrified. She hurriedly brought Xiao Li into the main house.
Inside a spacious room filled with modern medical equipment, several people in white coats were bustling about.
Ning Qingwan asked anxiously, "Ziying, how is she?"
The woman named Ziying was a doctor in her early thirties, wearing glasses and quite attractive. Her white coat concealed her figure, but she was clearly tall and slender.
Ziying's expression was grave. "Qingwan, your mother's condition is very critical. She's been in shock for two minutes. Defibrillation didn't work, so we had to administer adrenaline. We're still performing CPR, but… there's no response yet."
