Su Dingsheng took the money Lin Feng gave him and returned to a small town to live out his retirement.
Originally, Su Dingsheng planned to start a small business and live out the rest of his life peacefully.
However, Su Dingsheng’s selfish actions at the time led Liu Yan to chase right after him.
Liu Yan was no pushover.
This must be karma.
Now, Su Dingsheng was getting a taste of the same methods Liu Yan had once used against Su Ruoxi.
Su Dingsheng’s life was thrown into chaos, and he began to miss the days when he was rich.
After all, he had been the boss of Dingsheng Real Estate for many years.
Although he had now sold Dingsheng Real Estate to Lin Feng.
But it was still easy for Su Dingsheng to get some news.
When Su Dingsheng found out that the person now in charge of Dingsheng Real Estate was, of all people, his own daughter.
He barely slept for two days and two nights.
When he first learned that Su Ruoxi was now managing Dingsheng Real Estate,
Su Dingsheng had even been ecstatic before the reality of the situation sank in.
He thought he could use his relationship with his daughter to get the company back.
But Su Dingsheng was, after all, a cunning old fox.
After a little thought, he realized that many things about the situation didn’t add up.
Furthermore, when Su Dingsheng got the news,
the informant also mentioned that the relationship between Su Ruoxi and Lin Feng was ambiguously intimate.
And that Lin Feng was very fond of Su Ruoxi.
Su Dingsheng then remembered the time Lin Feng had demanded he sever his father-daughter relationship with Su Ruoxi.
Connecting all the dots, Su Dingsheng finally understood. This whole thing had been a setup by Lin Feng from the very beginning!
After figuring it out, Su Dingsheng was furious; he seethed with anger.
But now, with no one to back him and no money, Su Dingsheng could do nothing to Lin Feng.
This feeling of frustration festered in Su Dingsheng’s heart, eventually transforming into a deep-seated hatred for Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi.
He even concluded that his current predicament was entirely the fault of his unfilial daughter, Su Ruoxi!
Now, there was nothing Su Dingsheng could do.
But he still wanted to spite Su Ruoxi.
That was why he pulled some strings and found the building materials supplier, Deng Long.
Deng Long was a friend from before Su Dingsheng made his fortune; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had such a long-standing cooperative relationship with Dingsheng Real Estate.
At first, Deng Long didn’t want to get mixed up in the Su Family’s affairs.
But Su Dingsheng pleaded with him, invoking their many years of friendship.
Deng Long also figured they were just second-rate building materials, and nothing serious would come of it anyway.
So, he agreed to help Su Dingsheng.
Unexpectedly, Su Dingsheng’s daughter, Su Ruoxi, was swift and decisive.
She directly cut off the partnership between Deng Long and Dingsheng Real Estate.
Deng Long didn’t even get a chance to use the excuse he had prepared.
And just like that, he lost a source of income.
Now, Su Ruoxi and Lin Feng had figured out who was behind the whole scheme.
Su Ruoxi never imagined her own father could be so malicious.
For a moment, she was overwhelmed by a storm of complex emotions.
Lin Feng hugged Su Ruoxi. "It seems his life is still too comfortable."
Su Ruoxi’s emotions had gradually calmed, and she said with a cold laugh:
"I really feel like giving him that money was a total waste. I would have rather fed it to the dogs!"
The disgust Su Ruoxi now felt for Su Dingsheng surpassed even her dislike for Liu Yan.
Lin Feng also hadn’t expected Su Dingsheng to stir up trouble like this.
"Whether or not he gets to retire in peace is up to you."
Lin Feng left the decision to Su Ruoxi.
This time, Su Ruoxi didn’t hesitate at all. "He doesn’t deserve to retire in peace."
Hearing this from Su Ruoxi, Lin Feng smiled and nodded. "Leave this matter to me. Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes."
Setting Su Dingsheng’s matter aside, Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi discussed the Central Grand Hotel project.
"I’ve already transferred everyone I could, but I’m afraid it will still take another month to finish."
The deadline was just too tight.
Moreover, the building Lin Feng had planned for this central district was not a simple design.
So even though Su Ruoxi had diverted all possible resources to this project,
the entire project schedule could only be compressed to two and a half months at most.
Lin Feng nodded. "No problem. The period after the New Year is still a peak tourist season. By my calculations, the project will definitely be finished before the year ends."
"We’ll still be able to catch the post-New Year tourism boom."
Hearing this, Su Ruoxi also nodded. "We should focus on fine-tuning the project before the New Year. That’s how we’ll guarantee a good reputation!"
Speaking of the New Year,
Lin Feng suddenly remembered that Su Ruoxi no longer had a home to go to.
She would probably be all alone during the New Year.
What occurred to Lin Feng also occurred to Su Ruoxi.
But Su Ruoxi was already quite content with her current situation.
In the past, the New Year had never been a relaxing time for Su Ruoxi.
Liu Yan would always find some way to spite her surreptitiously during the holiday.
It got to the point where Su Ruoxi sometimes didn’t even want to celebrate the New Year.
Nor did she want to see those relatives who came over just to sponge off them.
’Thinking about it, being on my own like this actually saves me a lot of trouble.’
Lin Feng looked at the downcast Su Ruoxi, thought for a moment, then suddenly lifted her chin and looked seriously into her eyes.
"Why don’t you come home with me for the New Year?"
Hearing this, Su Ruoxi’s eyes widened in disbelief. She stammered, "Go... go home with you?"
Lin Feng could see that Su Ruoxi was genuinely surprised and a little nervous.
He teased her with a smile:
"What, were you planning to spend the New Year all by yourself?"
Su Ruoxi shook her head and said shyly, "I’m just a little worried about meeting your parents. What if they don’t like me?"
Lin Feng smiled and gently tapped the bridge of Su Ruoxi’s delicate nose. "A new bride has to meet the in-laws sooner or later. Besides, you’re so beautiful, there’s no way they won’t like you."
Su Ruoxi’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
Lin Feng continued to persuade her, "Besides, with that girl Xiaoman around, you won’t have to worry about a thing."
Su Ruoxi was still a bit nervous. "Then should I start preparing some gifts now? It’s my first time visiting, I have to make a good impression on your parents!"
Lin Feng looked at the flustered Su Ruoxi and shook his head with a helpless smile. "There’s still a month until we go back. You have plenty of time to pick out gifts."
"Don’t worry, my parents have known for a while that I have a girlfriend, and they’re not against it."
"With a personality like yours, they’ll like you the moment they meet you."
What Lin Feng said wasn’t an exaggeration.
Lin Xiaoman had been a mischievous child, and the two siblings had grown up bickering constantly.
This had made Lin Jiandong and He Yue very envious of other families’ gentle and sweet daughters.
A personality like Su Ruoxi’s would definitely win over Lin Jiandong and his wife.
Su Ruoxi shyly lowered her head.
But her heart was filled with joy.
At the same time, she was still very nervous about meeting Lin Feng’s parents.
This nervousness had already diluted the resentment she felt for Su Dingsheng just moments before.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, was thinking it was about time to give his parents a heads-up.
’Since I’m bringing her home to meet my parents, I should give them a warning first.’
’It’ll save both sides from having to prepare in a rush.’
’Otherwise, I’ll be the one getting blamed in the end.’
