In the meantime, at the Su family mansion on the other side.
Mrs. Su chuckled as she looked at the news on her phone. For the first time, she felt justice had been served. After enduring for so many years, someone was finally helping her!
Mrs. Su: "Xu Shuming, oh Xu Shuming, you never expected this, did you? She was spending your money, but in the end, she still loved her ex. Serves you right!!!"
Sister Hong sat beside Mrs. Su, and on the other side was Ou Yunchen.
Sister Hong: "It's a shame Xu Shuming wasn't exposed along with her. If only everyone knew he was supporting Bai Hui..."
Mrs. Su: "Absolutely not!"
Sister Hong and Ou Yunchen were stunned. Did Mrs. Su not want to punish Xu Shuming after all?
Mrs. Su shook her head helplessly. "Let the scandal unfold, but if it goes too far, Su Corporation will suffer. Even the slightest tremor will affect the stock price. I still have shares in the Su family, and I can't afford to lose that money."
"Don't you want to take back the company?" Sister Hong asked, understanding but still curious.
Mrs. Su: "Of course, I do! But how can I face my deceased father! Although I hate Xu Shuming, I can't drag my father's company down with me!"
Sister Hong: "Do you know who helped you with this?"
Mrs. Su scoffed, "That scumbag Xu Shuming must have offended someone!"
Sister Hong looked at Ou Yunchen as she spoke, "Ou Yunchen helped you."
Mrs. Su almost choked on her breath. She stared at Ou Yunchen with her mouth agape, never imagining that after so many years, the person helping her would be a bartender she had only met a few days ago after his return!
Ou Yunchen: "Mrs. Su, please forgive me for not consulting you beforehand."
Mrs. Su nodded slightly. She had finally witnessed Ou Yunchen's capabilities. She had thought this handsome man was only good for trivial tricks to please women.
"You got rid of a vixen for me and dealt a slight blow to Xu Shuming. I should be thanking you, so tell me, you must have a request."
Ou Yunchen exchanged a glance with Sister Hong. He indeed had another purpose for being here.
"Let me help you," Ou Yunchen said, his gaze intense and firm.
Help? Help with what? Mrs. Su was confused, but she waited for Ou Yunchen to elaborate.
"Let me help you take back the company."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Su chuckled. She still couldn't believe that a man who looked like a decorative pillow could be entrusted with such a task.
Ou Yunchen, sensing Mrs. Su's disbelief, continued to explain.
"Instead of you directly confronting Mr. Xu, it would be better if I, an outsider, fought him openly, while you guide me from behind the scenes. After all, Mr. Xu's wariness of Mrs. Su likely makes it difficult for you to make any progress. But with me, the situation will be entirely different. No one will know how I appeared, so I can be whatever identity you say I am."
Mrs. Su listened intently. It was indeed a brilliant plan, preserving her position and allowing her to manipulate someone to act on her behalf!
Sister Hong nodded in agreement. While this wasn't her initial idea, she marveled at Ou Yunchen's clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Mrs. Su re-examined Ou Yunchen. He possessed ambition; it was a waste for him to be just a bartender in a bar. She carefully considered the plan. It seemed entirely in her favor. Could Ou Yunchen genuinely want to help her?
Mrs. Su: "Give me three days to consider."
Ou Yunchen: "Alright."
While Mrs. Su and Ou Yunchen were chatting in the reception room, Su Ruiyi had entered and exited three times, each time with the same excuse.
Mrs. Su became impatient: "Darling, can you find everything you need in one go?"
Su Ruiyi pursed her lips and tilted her head, her eyelids drooping. Although she tried to appear natural, she revealed a flaw.
Su Ruiyi: "I'm here to put things back."
Saying that, she returned the tissue box she had taken from beside the sofa and the photo frame from by the window to their original places.
Ou Yunchen's lips curved slightly. He could see that her pretense of looking for things was merely to get his attention. Her proud demeanor was meant to convey her anger at being stood up in the parking lot last time.
Mrs. Su glared at her impolite daughter. She continued reminiscing with Sister Hong about events from years ago.
Ou Yunchen seized the opportunity to excuse himself: "I need to use the restroom."
Mrs. Su: "Oh, alright. Turn left at the door. If you can't find it, ask the nanny to show you."
Ou Yunchen stood up and straightened his suit. He strode out of the reception room.
Su Ruiyi quickly followed him, tailing him all the way to the restroom. Seeing Ou Yunchen not looking back at all, Su Ruiyi became even more annoyed!
As the door opened, Ou Yunchen grabbed Su Ruiyi, who was right behind him, and with a swift turn, pulled the girl into the restroom.
As soon as the door closed, Ou Yunchen pinned Su Ruiyi against it...
Heh, she had walked right into this herself.
Su Ruiyi still tried to put on a brave face: "What, what are you doing!"
Ou Yunchen chuckled. Their distance was so close that they could see the reflections of each other's pupils: "Miss Su, why are you following me?"
"I, I was afraid you wouldn't find the toilet! My house is so big, what if, what if you got lost!"
Ou Yunchen smiled. What a proud princess.
Su Ruiyi feigned nonchalance: "Ahem, you go ahead, I'll leave now."
As Su Ruiyi was about to leave, Ou Yunchen stopped her.
"Wait, this is yours, isn't it?"
Saying this, Ou Yunchen took out the diamond bracelet from his pocket and dangled it in front of Su Ruiyi.
"My bracelet!!! How did you find it? I thought it was lost!!!"
Ou Yunchen shrugged and placed the bracelet into Su Ruiyi's palm.
"Don't think that just because you found my bracelet, I'll forgive you!"
Ou Yunchen continued to look at her with a smile in his eyes. No matter how angry she was, in Ou Yunchen's eyes, she was still an adorable child.
"In all my life, Su Ruiyi, no one has dared to push me out of a car! I'm telling you..."
Ou Yunchen quickly covered Su Ruiyi's mouth. He didn't want to hear such a cute child constantly rambling about useless things.
"Go on a date with me."
Su Ruiyi's eyes widened. She thought she had misheard.
"I'll pick you up at your house the night after tomorrow at 7 PM. We'll go to the Italian restaurant you've been wanting to try."
Su Ruiyi blinked, repeating Ou Yunchen's words.
"Really?"
"Then you'll forgive me, right?"
Su Ruiyi, who had just shown a hint of excitement, quickly suppressed it. The slight lift of her eyebrows betrayed her hidden thoughts.
"We'll see how you perform."
Ou Yunchen smiled and released Su Ruiyi, unlocking the door and gesturing for her to leave.
