Chapter 099
The talks collapsed
Shen Mo opened the door and saw Su Manying's pretty and excited face.
Standing blankly at the door, letting the tea from the broken teapot on the ground flow all over the floor, Su Manying stared directly at Shen Mo, her plump breasts heaving up and down, her mind restless.
Did an outsider come to fight for her freedom from the Su family? She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
But more than anything, I am filled with happiness.
Su Manying now wanted to fly into Shen Mo's arms and cry on his not-so-broad chest, but her usual reserve allowed her to suppress this impulse and hold back the tears that were about to fall. , she lowered her head and apologized: "I accidentally broke the teapot just now. I'm going to make another pot right now."
After saying that, she ran downstairs like flying.
Shen Mo had a smile on his lips. He could see the excitement in Su Manying's heart. Although his request was a disadvantage to himself, it was a great help to Su Manying.
The saddest thing about children of wealthy families is that they cannot control their own lives. This time Shen Mo will forcefully take Su Manying out of the hands of the Su family, which is a behemoth in the eyes of others.
Originally, he felt that this was a bit of a disadvantage, but after seeing Su Manying's expression, Shen Mo suddenly felt that his choice was worth it, very worth it!
"Alas!" Su Jianping sighed again, his feelings towards Shen Mo becoming more complicated.
The matter between Manying and Bai Potian of the Bai family has always been a matter that the family attaches great importance to. After all, being able to ally with the Bai family is of great benefit to the Su family. Although Su Jianping is his father, there is nothing he can do to help. How could this not be the case back then? Who could have helped me?
Su Jianping felt heartbroken every time he saw his daughter showing some melancholy when she was quietly meditating. Now after hearing Shen Mo make such a request, he was shocked and soon became relieved.
Shen Mo finally settled one of his worries.
Unlike Su Jianping, Su Jiancheng was equally shocked, but after he woke up he frowned: "Don't interfere in Manying's life? What do you mean? Manying is a member of our Su family, and the Su family raises its own children Do we need outsiders to intervene? If we don’t care, who will?”
Although the Su family has shifted its focus due to that technology, there are still many people in the family who are clamoring for an alliance with the Bai family, and Su Jiancheng is one of them.
Su Manying undoubtedly played a huge role in this. The Bai family only liked Su Manying. Without Su Manying, the alliance between the Su family and the Bai family would be almost hopeless.
If this kid doesn't fight for his own interests, why is he here to take care of the Su family's family affairs?
"Education? Haha, these two words are so well used. I didn't know that these two words can be used instead of education." Shen Mo sneered, his tone mixed with sarcasm. He didn't expect that the Su family actually It's so unreasonable, he takes advantage of everyone, he's fair and square, and he doesn't even spare his own children!
Forget it, what if I break up with the Su family today because of Manying? Can the Su family kill me?
"Bastard!" Completely irritated by Shen Mo's words, Su Jiancheng slapped the table hard and stared at Shen Mo with wide eyes: "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to interfere with our Su family's business? I am like this This time I am just telling you on behalf of the Su family that if we ask you to do something, we will definitely reward you. Do you think you can bargain with us? Boy, if people are too greedy, they will often not get anything!"
Looking at him without any fear, Shen Mo's mouth curved slightly: "I also give these words to you and your Su family. Just because I am willing to do this for you does not mean that I can be manipulated by you at will. Do you think I want to be a scapegoat for your Su family? Don’t be too self-righteous."
"Get out!" Su Jiancheng's face turned black and purple, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he yelled uncontrollably. In all these years, no one has dared to challenge his authority so nakedly.
Shen Mo still looked at him indifferently, with a calm expression: "I'm sorry, this is my home, it's not me who should get out."
The subtext is obvious, it's you who should get out.
Seeing that the conflict between the two was about to escalate, Su Jianping stood up quickly: "Stop arguing, Jian Cheng, sit down, Shen Mo, listen to my advice, sit down and talk."
Su Li also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade his father in a low voice, and then quietly said something to Shen Mo, telling him not to mind.
"Our Su family will never agree to this request. You must change." After sitting down angrily for a long time, Su Jiancheng said coldly.
"This is my only request. You'd better agree." Although Shen Mo listened to the advice, he would never compromise with Su Jiancheng.
"You...Shen Mo, do you really think that our Su family can't do anything to you?" His face turned gloomy. When Su Jiancheng saw that his elder brother wanted to interrupt, he waved his hand to interrupt him and asked with a sullen face.
"I don't know if there is a way, but I can quit at any time. The worst I can do is leave Changhai. We will both lose. It just depends on who loses more." Shen Mo shrugged indifferently. Although he knew that he could also withdraw from Changhai. A lot of benefits were gained from this matter, such as the friendship between the Gu family and the Luo family, and Su Manshu's promise.
However, compared with the dangers and pressures that I may encounter, this kind of gain is not much.
The benefits are huge, but the risks are even bigger. If Shen Mo doesn't do this deal, he won't feel any distress at all.
"Dad, actually this matter is not non-negotiable. How about we go back and ask Grandpa? I think it's better for him to make the final decision on this matter."
Seeing that Shen Mo had made up his mind, Su Li had a thought. Seeing that his father still wanted to speak, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. It was useless to argue now. It would also make Shen Mo feel more disgusted with the Su family, which was not good. There was no rush to form an alliance with the Bai family. For a while, and Shen Mo's request did not completely kill the alliance between the Su family and the Bai family.
Didn't Manying still like Bai Potian back then? If the two of them were allowed to fall in love with each other, even if the Su family didn't force her, I'm afraid Su Manying would happily marry into the Bai family.
Of course, Su Li could see that the relationship between Shen Mo and Su Manying seemed a bit unusual, but this was not an obstacle. There were thousands of ways to achieve a goal, it just depends on what you can imagine.
"Well, Jiancheng, I don't think Shen Mo's request is too much. Then you should go back and discuss it with the old man. There is no need to make a decision in a hurry." Su Jianping also spoke again. He could not completely favor Shen Mo. , but he was unwilling from the bottom of his heart to support his second brother.
With a cold snort, Su Jiancheng also knew that arguing with Shen Mo was of no use now, as he had lowered his status. He stood up and walked out without saying a word.
When passing by the door, Su Manying happened to bring freshly brewed tea. When he heard Su Manying call her uncle, he snorted and left the villa directly.
Seeing this, Su Li did not dare to stop. He nodded apologetically to Su Jianping and Shen Mo, and then chased after them.
Not long after, there was a sound of a car starting outside the door, which gradually faded away and soon disappeared.
After being stunned for a moment, Su Manying walked into the study and saw the smiling Shen Mo and the frowning father. She hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Is it because of me?"
"How could it be? It's because some things have not been agreed upon." Shen Mo knew that some things must be hidden from Su Manying. Seeing the guilty look on her face, Shen Mo comforted her hurriedly.
Seeing that she still looked unbelieving, Shen Mo pouted at her: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Su."
"Dad..." Su Manying raised her head and shouted to Su Jianping. Su Jianping raised his head and sighed, looking a little tired: "It's okay, don't worry, your second uncle just had a disagreement with me and had a few words. That’s it, this isn’t the first time, so it’s not worth making a fuss about.”
Seeing what Su Manying wanted to say, Su Jianping waved his hand: "You go down first, I have something to talk to Shen Mo."
After Su Manying exited the study and closed the door, Su Jianping sat down at the desk, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, lit it, took a deep breath, and said in a deep tone: "I have been trying to quit smoking for many years, but I have never succeeded. , I still can’t live without this thing.”
