Chapter 135: Chapter 139: Phoenix Man, Such a Creature (21) Chapter 135: Chapter 139: Phoenix Man, Such a Creature (21) After Su Jingming arrived, Su Li watched the old man’s health improve dramatically, as if invigorated like dead wood encountering spring.
Approaching his eighties, Su Fugui was high-spirited and determined to raise a filial son for Su Li and a formidable heir for the Su Group.
He firmly denied that there had been anything wrong with Su Qing’s upbringing; he insisted the problem lay in the roots, and if the roots were bad, the sprout could not thrive.
With a little child around, Su Li had even more freedom; no one nagged her anymore, and the old man had already transferred all the rights of the Group into her hands.
With this power, Su Li flourished trendously, and within less than a decade, the Su Group soared to beco one of the top super-enterprises in the country.
Su Li also beca Hua Country’s first female wealthiest individual.
Today marked the 150th anniversary of the Su Group, and early in the morning, reporters from major dia outlets were already gathered outside the venue.
Around ten o’clock, Su Li appeared at the venue, her arm linked with a white-haired but spirited Su Fugui on her left, and on her right, leading a little Su Jingming dressed in a small suit, tie neatly knotted, hair glossy.
In an instant, relentless cara flashes and spotlights focused on Su Li.
The now over-fifty Su Li, dressed in a silver rmaid dress, drew gasps from the audience.
Those elite individuals who had the fortune of collaborating with this formidable female CEO of the Su family all remarked on Su Li’s strong aura, but after seeing her exquisitely dressed, they couldn’t help but marvel, declaring her truly a woman blessed by heaven.
Her stunning beauty and her elegant, dignified deanor, along with the cultural depth that had settled over the years, made her dazzle and captivate all in attendance.
Indeed, her genetics were excellent. It was said that the Su heir, the little boy Mr. Su was holding, possessed an IQ of up to 180.
At less than ten years old, he had slowly begun to get involved in the company affairs, and what was even more astounding was that he seed to be doing quite well.
With such a son, the Su Family could thrive for another fifty years with no problem at all.
Regardless of the various discussions from those present, Su Li’s purpose in bringing little Su Jingming to the event was to introduce him and solidly establish his qualifications as a Su heir.
Initially, Su Li had not wanted to bring the child to such an event so soon; she hoped he could, like other children, follow a normal course of learning and growth.
But, unexpectedly, this young master she bore was sothing else entirely; he disdainfully refused to be around a bunch of little kids.
These ignorant little kids are simply lowering my IQ, young Su Jingming told Su Li, which made Su Li both amused and bewildered, but she obliged him nonetheless.
After all, her original intention was for the child to be happy and joyful.
Different from Su Li, Su Fugui was extrely pleased with his grandson’s awakening. He cherished his grandson dearly yet was also extrely strict.
Elite education was not to be taken lightly; its hardships were known only to those who endured them. Given Su Jingming’s exceptionally high IQ, his educational responsibilities were significantly greater, making Su Li quite heartbroken, although the child relished in them.
On another note, Su Li felt this was for the best; she too was sowhat wearied. The bloodless wars of the business world, though thrilling, were imnsely draining.
With her initial excitent diminishing, Su Li entertained the idea of a more tranquil life, observing flowers in a garden, and coincidentally, her son was capable enough to take over soon.
Thinking about this, Su Li had hoped for the growth of little Su Jingming.
The grand event of the Su Family was broadcast live on television and online. Originally, as Su Li’s biological daughter, Su Qing should have been a revered participant in the event, but she had lost such a qualification by her own doing.
Now she could only sit with her daughter in front of the TV to watch.
Her daughter, around the sa age as Su Jingming, beca excited upon seeing the people on the TV and danced around joyfully, shouting, “Mommy, look! It’s little uncle and grandma, and great-grandpa…”
“Mommy, I want to go too! It looks so dreamy… Can you please talk to grandma and let us join too….”
Her daughter looked at her with sparkling hopeful eyes.
Su Qing awkwardly avoided her daughter’s gaze and bowed her head, struggling to find the words to explain.
She could have had that status, admired like a little princess by eyes around the world.
The little girl, not receiving an answer for a long ti, pouted and beca unhappy. “Mommy, do you not want to? Then I will go ask little uncle, he will definitely agree to my request…”
Before the little girl could finish, Su Qing suddenly shouted sternly, “Don’t go…”
The little girl was frightened to tears, looking at Su Qing bewildered with wet eyes, “Mommy….”
Su Qing, very agitated, ruffled her hair. She saw her daughter’s hurt expression and wanted to apologize, but didn’t know how to begin.
That child…
She was actually fearful of the child who was protected in the arms of her mother and grandfather, which was why she had so hastily stopped her daughter when she ntioned little uncle.
In the years since leaving the Su Family, her life had been neither good nor bad. Zheng Zhanpeng had even found an opportunity to entangle her again, swayed montarily by her daughter, but before she could relent, her own younger brother Su Jingming had ruthlessly dealt with him.
He had only been what, six or seven years old at that ti?
Since then, Su Qing had harbored a fear of this little brother. Even during the annual visits back to the Su Family, she would avoid him.
Yet, her daughter especially liked this little uncle…
She had once seen Su Jingming tenderly stroking her daughter’s hair, his eyes filled with the pleasure of teasing a little animal. One mont he was all smiles, the next he could beco annoyed and pull at her hair.
She had also once overheard her younger brother discussing her in the corner of the living room.
“My sister is brainless, with her intelligence, not only was she exiled by mom and grandpa, but even if she remained in the line of succession, I could pull her down at any mont…. For now, grandpa still cares a bit about her, not to play too rough, otherwise….”
That ti, Su Qing had listened with cold sweat pouring down, and that last thread of delusion in her heart completely dissipated.
He was like a little demon, terrifying her to the core.
His mocking, sharp gaze seed to shine a light into the darkest corners of her heart. Since then, Su Qing had reduced all thoughts of trying to return to the Su Family.
Quietly, without contention or competition… perhaps, after her grandpa and mom passed away a century later, she might be able to receive a bit more.
