Chapter 7 Bet

• The old Madam finally looked at Su Yimo seriously. She even asked her assistant to bring her her reading glasses.
• All of the relatives straightened their back and wanted to see the content of the contract. None of them believed Su Yimo could secure the project. Almost every one of them had showed up to the company but they didn’t even get to see the owner of Rumo. So how could Su Yimo do that?
• She was just a lowly woman in the Su family. No one treated her like one of the Su family. What if she really did manage to secure the project and get the old Madam’s favor?
• Su Ruijin was unwilling to believe any of it. If Su Yimo were to secure the project, that meant he would need to serve Su Yimo from thereby onwards. He needed to even greet and treat her like his elder. That was just too much of a humiliation.
• “Su Yimo, do you think you can just draft a contract yourself like that? Who would believe it!? I think you weren’t even able to meet the owner of Rumo!” Su Ruijin sneered.
• “That’s right. I did not get to meet the owner of Rumo.” Zhong Ji was the one in charge of all the project in the West. Moreover, the man said that the boss was always busy. And Su Yimo was able to understand that.
• Right after Su Yimo said that, all of the relatives were riled and they were glaring furiously at her.
• “Su Yimo, how dare you fake a contract to deceive us!?”
• “Unbelievable! You even dare to do something like that in order not to get ousted from the Su family!?”
• “Do you treat us like idiots? Cheating us with a fake contract!”
• All of the relatives looked as if they wanted to rise up and punish Su Yimo, treating her like the family enemy. All of them were gnashing their teeth and baring their fangs.
• Su Ruijin was high strung but he relaxed after that. The man looked at Su Yimo like an idiot, “How can you even think of doing something like that? Are you that worry that you and your family might be ousted from the Su house? But I can somehow understand. All three of you plus that piece of trash might not be able to survive without the Su family. Rest assured, I will not be so merciless. If you are hungry, I will make sure your family is well fed.”
• When the rest of them heard that, they broke into a giggle and agreed, “That’s right, we can at least make sure you and your family are able to fill your stomach.”
• Su Yimo wasn’t offended nor angered when she heard that. Not only that, the woman smiled, “Who gave you the right to say if the contract is real or fake? Although I didn’t get to meet the owner of Rumo, I did meet with the person in charge of the West project, Zhong Ji. He was the one who signed the contract.”
• “I’m no idiot and I will not treat grandma like an idiot. Do you think I would do something like making a fake contract?”
• Su Ruijin’s heart sunken and his face turned pale like paper.
• She was right. There was just no point for a fake contract and she would even rouse the old Madam’s wrath. There was no reason for Su Yimo to do that…
• Could it be… She really did secure the business deal?
• “Su Yimo, not even we can do that. How could you…”
• Before Su Ruijin finished his sentence, the grandmother raised her hand.
• She raised her head and looked at Su Yimo, “Did you really signed his contract with Zhong Ji? And we will be the sole supplier for the materials in the West side project?”
• “Grandma, I’ve already invited Zhong Ji to come over to our company tomorrow. You will know it by that time.” Su Yimo replied.
• The grandmother smiled happily and repeated the word ‘Good’ for three times.
• When the rest of the relatives heard that, they felt them like a hammer to the chest and they just felt uncomfortable.
• Now that Su Yimo had gotten the old Madam’s compliment, they might never have the chance to kick her out from the family anymore. Not only that, she might even get a promotion in the family and company. Just a thought about Su Yimo having a higher position than them troubled the crowd.
• “Su Yimo, you are such a lucky girl! How fortunate that you managed to pull that off!” Su Ruijin had no choice but to accept the truth. After today, the representative from Rumo will be going to the company. Even if he was in denial, he wasn’t stupid enough to think that Su Yimo would make up such a pointless lie.
• “Have you forgotten what you said yesterday?” Su Yimo said.
• Su Ruijin gritted his teeth, “Su Yimo, you are just lucky. If I were to go, I could have done it as well. Do you really dare to use me like a servant?”
• Su Ruijin would never do something so lowly and humiliating like that because he was the most prideful person in the Su family. Not only that, he was the one with the highest chance to be the president of the company. How could he follow by Su Yimo and serve her?
• “Su Yimo, you better don’t push it. Just a little bit of luck and you wanted to step on Su Ruijin?”
• “Exactly, just a little bit of result and you are acting all conceited. I could have done it if I were to go!”
• “Su Yimo, take an advice from your elder and simply let it go. This is really just your luck.”
• Almost all of the elderly relatives stood up and spoke in favor for Su Ruijin. When Su Yimo saw their shamelessness, she simply sneered in anger. What a group of shameless people. It was Su Ruijin who started that and now they wanted to make her the witch.
• If she had failed her assignment, would the rest of them step up for her when Su Ruijin wanted to chase her out of the Su family?
• “Be of good sport.” The grandmother said with a low voice.
• The moment she said that, all of the relatives who wanted to defend Su Ruijin shut up immediately. They didn’t dare to have another word against the old Madam.
• And Su Ruijin’s expression was so twisted as if shit was smeared on his face. Although he was unwilling, now that the old Madam gave her words, he didn’t dare to disobey.
• The man went to pour Su Yimo a cup of tea and called her unwillingly, “Sister Mo.”
• Su Ruijin lowered his head and his eyes were filled with resentment. The man thought to himself: You are just lucky this time, and now you will suffer my wrath! I am the most influential person in the company, it is just easy for me to play this game with you. Sooner or later, I will return your favor a hundredfold!
• Su Yimo accepted the cup of tea. She didn’t drink it and simply put it on the meeting table and spoke to the old Madam, “Grandma, I shall go back and prepare myself for the meeting with Zhong Ji tomorrow.”
• After the meeting ended, both Su Yimo and the grandmother left the meeting room but the other relatives stayed back.
• “Su Ruijin, you must think of something to handle that Su Yimo. You mustn’t let her win any favor!”
• “That right, if she were to be in charge with the cooperation with Rumo, it might even risk your position in the company.”
• Su Ruijin had a grim expression. It was exactly like what the relatives said. Had Su Yimo really become the person in charge that deal with Rumo, his position in the company would definitely get affected.
• “Don’t you guys worry, I will definitely let this bitch learn her place.”
• Su Yimo and Han Jingru went back home.
• Su Wenlun and Jiang Yan were sitting nervously in the living room. The family was facing a life or death situation and the father didn’t even have the courage to participate in the family meeting. He was so fearful to personally get ousted from the family.
• “Yimo, how is it?” Jiang Yan asked diffidently.
• When Su Yimo saw her parents’ frightful face, she smiled, “Don’t worry. We will not be ousted by the Su family.”
• Su Wenlun looked at Su Yimo in disbelief. The father stood up and his hands were even shaking, “You… Have you really gotten the project?”
• “Yimo, you did that?!” Jiang Yan’s eyes and mouth were wide opened as well.
• Su Yimo nodded and looked over to Han Jingru. Everyone thought that she did it but the woman knew that Han Jingru was the person who made it happen.
• “Yeah, I managed to secure the deal. I even signed the contract.” Su Yimo said.
• Jiang Yan hurried towards Su Yimo in elation and the mother shoved Han Jingru away violently, “Yimo, my good daughter! I am so sorry for doubting you!”
• “Yimo, what have your grandmother said? Did Su Ruijin really served you tea?” All of a sudden, the father regretted that he didn’t went to the meeting and he missed the sight of Su Ruijin bowing his head to Su Yimo. What a waste.
• “Grandma complimented me and Su Ruijin did serve the tea.” When Su Yimo saw how happy her parents were, she was happy as well.
• And when Su Yimo was happy, Han Jingru was put in a good mood as well.
• The moment Jiang Yan saw Han Jingru smiling, she was annoyed and resentful. The mother sneered coldly, “Why are you laughing stupidly over there? This is all because of our Yimo, what does it have to do with you?”
• Su Yimo just wanted to speak in favor of Han Jingru but she saw that the man shook his head at her. She could only let out a silent sigh.
• “Now the two of you can be restful. No one will be chasing us out from the Su family.”
• “Now I am just restful. With a daughter as great as you, mum is just happy!”
• The family was spending time celebrating but Han Jingru was left aside. The man went into the kitchen quietly.
• That night, Su Ruijin and his father went to the Su’s mansion. He wouldn’t allow Su Yimo to climb up the ladder like that and he wanted to nib it in the bud.
