Tycoon's Eye Candy Is Actually a Bigshot-Chapter 79 - An Unspoken Secret

She had been looking him in the eyes while speaking, but at this moment—

His profound eyes dark as if drawing people in, yet they were also filled with his deep affection and gentleness, making her heart pound intensely.

This wasn’t the first time she saw the affections he expressed towards her, from a heart like still water to a fluttering banner.

Under his scorching gaze, she turned her head away, her voice coldly saying: “You’ve digressed, we are discussing the matter of the An Family now.”

Jiang Yan saw her ear tips seemed slightly red, a faint smile on his lips; could this girl be feeling shy?

He lightly coughed once, not exposing her, “Alright, my mistake, let’s return to the topic of your father.”

“From what I’ve investigated, your father sending you away from the An Family and not letting you return, a major factor may likely be because of Old Mrs.

An.”

She turned her head back to him upon hearing this, “Why?”

In a flash, she remembered that phone call with An Chengyuan, he always told her to stay away from Old Madam, including that time at the hospital.

Jiang Yan pursed his thin lips, “As for why, I don’t know yet, but what I know is that your father and your second uncle actually don’t get along with the old lady; on the contrary, their relationship is very stiff.

Over the years, these two brothers have hardly returned to live in the An Residence, and after your father married Lin Yue, he moved out of the An Residence, and your second uncle did the same, except for necessary occasions, they would not appear with the old madam.”

Su He’s brows slightly wrinkled; no wonder she felt strange today when she returned to the An Residence, it was eerily quiet.

Since she left the An Family, she had never inquired about any matters concerning the An Family, including the shares that belonged to her mother, which she only came to know by chance, prompting her brother to investigate.

Otherwise, just like An Xiao, she would have been unaware.

Suddenly, Su He also noticed some small details.

For instance, the previous time Old Madam was hospitalized, although she didn’t take over later, she had heard about it, during the old lady’s hospitalization, only Lin Yue, An Xiao, and An Xueyin had visited her, An Chengyuan had appeared three times initially but then not seen again, and as for her second uncle, it seemed he only appeared on the day of surgery.

Even if they were busy, it doesn’t justify the absence of concern or even a visit when their own mother was hospitalized, and only An Xiao picking up when discharged.

Because she had never suspected, she had never investigated the An Family, her intent was solely to retrieve what belonged to her mother.

–

Time flies.

Three days later.

Wan Muqi went to the hospital looking for Su He because of Tang Kai’s matter, but primarily the person he wanted was An Mi, he didn’t have her contact, thus he could only seek Su He.

“Sister-in-law, Tang Kai’s charges are basically settled, but I still need to find your sister for some matters to confirm once more.”

Wan Muqi still treated Su He with a lot of respect and politeness.

After all, she is his boss now, and also Jiang Yan’s officially wedded wife.

Sometimes, he even envied her; how nice it would be, to instantly own a fortune worth billions, an incalculable amount.

Su He, hearing him call her “sister-in-law,” still felt somewhat unaccustomed.

“Mr.

Wan, you can just call me Su He or Dr.

Su, it’s more comfortable for me.”

Wan Muqi was indifferent, “No worries, sister-in-law, you’ll get used to it after hearing it more.”

Su He: …

Well, fine, let it be…

Then, she spoke up, “Um, you mentioned you were looking for An Mi, right?

She is currently in the hospital, in Yang Jie’s room.”

After hearing this, Wan Muqi said, “Alright, then I’ll go find her myself, sister-in-law you go ahead if you’re busy.”

In the hospital room.

An Mi was discussing with Yang Jie about the plot and actors of a new TV series she was following.

Now that Yang Jie had been moved back to a regular room and able to speak, though still immobile.

Besides Father Yang and Mother Yang, An Mi came to spend four to five hours every day with Yang Jie, chatting and laughing, sharing all the interesting things she’s seen and heard.

Lately, Yang Jie’s mood had gradually stabilized, although she still couldn’t accept being paralyzed from the waist down, she appeared relatively optimistic.

“Xiao Jie, I’ll be your legs from now on, wherever you want to go, I’ll take you there, anyway, I’m sticking with you for life, and you aren’t allowed to dislike me.”

Wan Muqi had just reached the entrance of the hospital room when he heard a laughter inside, clear and crisp like silver bells.

He stopped in his tracks.

Yang Jie’s face was brimming with a smile as she watched An Mi, who was laughing radiantly in front of her.

She was very happy to have been accompanying her these past few days.

She knew An Mi always felt guilty towards her, but she truly had no regrets.

Yang Jie looked at her and said impatiently, “Are you silly?

What if you get a boyfriend or get married in the future?

How can you stick with me then?”

An Mi replied very briskly, “Don’t worry, I’ve planned it all out.

I’m not going to date or marry in this lifetime; I’ll just stay with you.”

Yang Jie smiled and said, “Be careful, or you might end up eating your words.”

“I won’t let such a thing happen,” An Mi confidently said, raising her eyebrows.

Yang Jie changed the subject, “I heard from my mom that your brother is also in the hospital.

What happened to him?”

“He had surgery too, but he’s fine now, don’t worry.”

“So you come to see me every day and don’t spend time with your brother?”

“He doesn’t need me there, besides, you are more important to me.”

“…”

Wan Muqi listened to the uninteresting conversation inside for a moment before rapping his knuckles on the door.

An Mi turned around upon hearing the knock.

“Uncle?”

An Mi blurted out instinctively.

Yang Jie also looked towards the door to see a man standing there, dressed in a suit and wearing glasses, looking very handsome with a refined and scholarly charm.

“Mimi, do you know him?” she asked.

An Mi quickly explained, “Oh, he’s a lawyer, the one I told you about before, who helped us sue Tang Kai, my sister hired him.”

Yang Jie simply responded with an “oh” and said no more.

When Wan Muqi heard An Mi’s spontaneous “Uncle,” the corners of his mouth and eyes couldn’t help but twitch.

His assistant nearly burst out laughing next to him, but managed to hold it back.

Mr.

Wan, being handsome and only 27 years old, found being called an uncle quite something…

Wan Muqi looked at An Mi and gestured with two fingers for her to come out.

He then turned and walked to the side of the hospital corridor.

An Mi, seeing that he was here for her, quickly informed Yang Jie and then got up to leave.

Outside, she saw the man’s back towards her.

The man, tall and broad-shouldered with long legs and a narrow waist, exuded safety just by his silhouette.

Since she knew he was acquainted with her sister and brother-in-law, she wasn’t wary of him and even felt a bit familiar.

She walked up to the man, lightly tapped his shoulder, tilted her head and asked, “Uncle, did you need something?”

The man’s almond eyes slightly squinted behind his glasses.

He initially wanted to correct her on how she addressed him, but then he remembered she was still underage and gave up.

“Yes, there are some discrepancies between Tang Kai’s confession and the evidence you provided, I need to confirm some details with you.”

His voice was deep and soothing, warming like the sun, making one feel as if bathed in spring.

An Mi quite liked his voice.

It was the second pleasant male voice she had heard, the first being her brother-in-law Jiang Yan, whose voice, however, had a cold metallic quality to it which was different.

An Mi grinned at him, “Sure, I can do that.”

Wan Muqi looked at her smiling face, the girl’s bright eyes clean and clear, sparkling like stars, her eyes curving like crescent moons naturally, her demeanor carrying a refined and ethereal charm – truly still a young girl, untainted by the world’s dust.

After An Mi had responded, she noticed he kept staring at her, so she curiously waved her hand in front of his face,

“Hey, uncle, is there something on my face?” she asked with wide, curious eyes.

Realizing his rudeness, Wan Muqi slightly clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly: “Sorry, I was lost in thought just now.”

In the next five minutes, Wan Muqi quickly confirmed the details with her.

Before they parted ways, An Mi still felt a bit uneasy and asked, “Tang Kai really won’t have a chance to come out, right?”

Wan Muqi teasingly raised his eyebrows, “Do you want him to come out?”

Upon hearing this, An Mi immediately shook her head and waved her hands, “Of course not, it’s best he never comes out.

People like him, social cancers, should not remain in this world.”

Although the Tang Family had some familial relations with her family, she always supported justice over relatives.

Besides, she had no ties with the Tang Family members, only her mother was acquainted with them.

The man’s thin lips curved into a faint, ambiguous smile, “Don’t worry, he won’t have a chance to come out; he will rot in prison.”

The man then turned and left.

In the elevator.

The assistant curiously glanced at the man beside him and asked, “Boss, normally you leave these trivial matters to us.

Why did you come personally today?”

The man slightly turned his head and glared at him, “What are you trying to say?”

Assistant: “I feel like you have a special interest in that girl, but I can’t pinpoint what it is exactly.”

Wan Muqi: “Put away your bizarre thoughts, better go back and study more laws for me!

This task was assigned directly by the financial deity himself.

Do you think I can trust you guys with it?

If we rely on you, our law firm will be preparing to face the chill winds in the second half of the year!”

Assistant: …

–

Afternoon.

Su He received a call from Old Mrs.

An.

After listening to what was said, she sarcastically smiled, “Grandma, according to what you’re saying, I won’t be able to get back my mom’s shares in the An Group, right?”

“Su Su, grandma is also helpless.

After all, you’re no longer part of the An family, you don’t bear the An surname, nor are you on the An family registry list.

Grandma didn’t expect your mother and grandfather to draft such an agreement back then.”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Shurong sighed sorrowfully and helplessly, “Su Su, if you really want to retrieve your mom’s shares, you’ll have to return to the An family.”

Su He paused for a few seconds, her voice neutral, “Grandma, I’ll think about it.”

After hanging up, a cold glint flashed through her eyes.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

Back when she had her mother’s surname, both elders never opposed.

So there was a hidden catch.

No wonder An Chengyuan was so adamant back then.

And the old lady had her reasons prepared long ago; her quick agreement that day was merely to restrain her.

An Residence.

An Xiao spoke right after the old lady hung up: “Mom, are you really planning to let her come back to the An family?”

Allowing Su He to return to the An family, she was the first to object.

Chen Shurong said, “Even if she wants to return, it’s not that easy.

She must change her surname back to An first, and she cares so much about her mother that she wouldn’t agree to change her surname.

Even if she really does change it, she still won’t be able to get the shares.”

“Why not?” An Xiao asked confusedly.

Chen Shurong did not reveal the reason, “You don’t need to know that.

You just need to keep a good watch on your two brothers at the company, and everything else will be fair.”

The old lady was still in control of all of An family’s rights, although apparently she had stepped down, in reality, she had not.

…

Six o’clock.

Time to get off work.

Su He packed up and left work on time.

Her punctual departure had gradually become accustomed by everyone; they would be surprised if she didn’t.

Just as she stepped out of the elevator and took a few steps, someone called her.

“Su He, wait a moment.”

She turned around and saw her uncle Su Tianyi behind her.

Other colleagues also exited the elevator and greeted them both.

Both responded.

Everyone was curious about what Professor Su needed Su He for.

But they didn’t dare to eavesdrop.

Once the people dispersed mostly, Su He jokingly raised her eyebrows, “Oh, Professor Su is also leaving work right on time?”

Su Tianyi tapped her forehead lightly, “Quit your nonsense, come home and have dinner with me tonight, your aunt is back, I was also instructed at the last moment, she insisted that I must bring you home for dinner.”

He had just called her and no one answered.

Seeing the time, he guessed that she was about to get off work, so he came down as well.

Su He clicked her tongue and slightly dodged him, “Professor Su, please be mindful, if people misinterpret that I have an affair with you, I’ll have to explain again.”

Su Tianyi: “…”

“What nonsense, you girl!”

Su Tianyi turned to the assistant next to him and said, “Xiao Liu, you can go back first, no need to send me today.”

The nearby assistant smiled and responded, “Alright, then Professor Su, Director Su, I’ll head back first.”

Su Tianyi waved his hand, “Go on, go on.”

Su He nodded to him.

Once the assistant left, Su Tianyi half-hugged Su He and pushed her towards the exit while chatting, “Hurry up, let’s go home, your aunt said she made a whole table of dishes you love.”

Su He laughed upon hearing this, “Great uncle, how long has it been since you’ve seen my aunt?

You look like you’re eager to go home.

If someone didn’t know better, they’d think there was some emergency at home.”

“It’s been a week.”

“Did you go abroad to accompany Su Yan?”

“That stinky kid just got there and couldn’t adapt to the new environment.

Your aunt left me for a whole seven days just to take care of him.”

Listening to her great uncle, Su He chuckled inwardly at his apparent jealousy.

The two headed for the parking lot.

A white sedan was parked at the hospital entrance.

An Xiao recognized the familiar figures and stopped the car at the entrance.

She saw Su Tianyi and Su He walking side by side, which made her frown slightly.

Why are they together?

And they seem quite familiar with each other, chatting and laughing.

She knew a friend was hospitalized in City First Hospital and wanted to visit, also hoping to run into Su Tianyi.

Never did she expect to find him with Su He.

A hint of gloom and confusion rose in her eyes.

Inside Su He’s car.

“By the way, daughter, are you living with Jiang Yan now?” Su Tianyi asked.

He had heard from his elder brother about the last time Jiang Yan visited the Su Family.

Not only that, but he also gained a grandnephew, as his status was upgraded from great uncle to grand great uncle instantly, as she gave everyone a surprise.

Su He responded with a “hmm”.

“Then, invite him over for dinner at our house as well,” Su Tianyi said.

“Now?”

“Otherwise?”

Subsequently, Su He sent a message and location to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan, who just finished a meeting, received the text from Su He.

[Great uncle invites you for dinner at his place tonight.

I’m about to head back with him.

If you’re still busy and can’t make it, then next time.]

Su He put down her phone and soon received his reply:

[Done with work, I’ll be there soon.]

She glanced at the message but didn’t reply.

Then, she started the car and left the hospital.

On their way, Su Tianyi asked her a question, “Are you planning to keep hiding the child like this?”

Su He hesitated before answering, “For now, yes.”

Things between her and Jiang Yan were still a bit complicated.

Su Tianyi said, “I read the announcement he made a few days ago.

It looks like the kid is sensible.

Although it came a bit late, it’s better than nothing.

Actually, I find Jiang Yan quite agreeable.

You don’t need to complicate your marriage and feelings because of your parents.

Just look at me and your aunt.”

Su He: “…”

She slightly turned her head to glance at the person beside her: “Great uncle, I remember you were initially against me marrying Jiang Yan, and you were not pleased with him.

You said I agreed too hastily; so why are you speaking in his favor now?

Did he bribe you?”

Su He had her reasons to be suspicious.

Su Tianyi replied nonchalantly, “Is this really what you think of your great uncle?”

Su He didn’t feel like debunking him anymore.

One hour later.

Xiangshan Lake Villa District.

Jiang Yan arrived almost simultaneously with her.

As she parked her car, her great uncle had already unbuckled his seatbelt, and leaving her with a, “Make yourselves at home,” he got out of the car.

Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.

He entered the house first, leaving the two outside.

Su He: “…”

It was obvious how much he wanted to see his wife.

She and Jiang Yan both got out of their cars.

Her gaze moved to the two expensive bottles of red wine he was holding.

“Great uncle, this is?” Jiang Yan had noticed Su Tianyi hurrying into the house before getting out of his car.

Su He briefly explained, “He missed my aunt.”

“…”
