After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 198: Want Money Over Life? Are You Insane?

Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Want Money Over Life? Are You Insane?

Chen Su suddenly shot a look at the nearby bodyguards. They understood instantly and moved to restrain Zhao Jian, pinning his neck and limbs.

"What are you doing? Chen Su, what are you doing?" Zhao Jian bellowed. He hadn’t expected Chen Su to resort to violence.

"What am I doing?" Chen Su slowly unfurled a document. "Sign this, add your fingerprint, and then take this one million. After that, we have nothing more to do with each other.

"This is the only chance I’m giving you. You’d better quit while you’re ahead. Otherwise, I won’t be so merciful. Remember, if I, Chen Su, can reduce you to this pathetic state, I can also make sure you never speak again. Offend me, and it won’t end well for you."

Chen Su folded her arms, her tone growing ten times colder. "What are you staring at? Make him sign!"

"Chen Su!" Zhao Jian roared. The woman was too vicious!

"Well, this is lively."

Just then, a familiar voice sounded from behind them. Zhao Jian was overjoyed. "Brother Yun."

Chen Su’s cold gaze tightened, and she deliberately avoided meeting Shen Fanyun’s eyes. From what her grandfather and aunt had told her, she knew this man was terrifying.

"What’s going on?" Shen Fanyun strolled in.

"Just a little joke with him. It’s nothing, nothing at all," Chen Su said, her smile returning as she became far too attentive toward Shen Fanyun. At the same time, she gestured with her eyes for the bodyguards to hide the document.

"A joke?" Shen Fanyun nodded. "Then I’ll tell one, too. It just so happens I’m in a good mood today."

He raised his hand. Before the bodyguard closest to him could react, there was a sharp CRACK. The man’s jaw was dislocated on the spot. With an agonizing scream, the bodyguard dropped to his knees, writhing on the floor in pain.

The miserable howl made Chen Su’s skin crawl. Her eyelids twitched, and she felt extremely uncomfortable being in the cramped hospital room with Shen Fanyun. A wave of panic began to spread through her entire body.

"Anyone else want to play with me?" Shen Fanyun inquired.

The remaining bodyguards shrank back, their faces growing paler by the second as they faced him like a formidable enemy.

Shen Fanyun plucked the document from them. Before he could even look at it, Chen Su stammered, "That... that doesn’t count. It was just for fun, just for fun!"

Shen Fanyun couldn’t be bothered to respond.

The contents of the document were quite interesting. Written from Zhao Jian’s perspective, it promised to transfer all of the Zhao Family’s assets to Chen Su, free of charge. It also emphasized that Zhao Jian was doing all of this willingly. Furthermore, it solemnly guaranteed that the decision would be effective for life and could never be revoked. Zhao Jian would never be able to ask Chen Su for the assets once they were gifted.

"Did you draft this?" Shen Fanyun asked, shaking the paper at Chen Su.

Silently biting her lip, Chen Su backed away until the calves of her legs hit the side of the bed, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

"I... I..." Chen Su gasped for breath. She could see Shen Fanyun’s expression growing darker, which filled her with an inexplicable fear.

"That isn’t signed, so it doesn’t count," she said, her voice wavering. "It was just for fun. You don’t need to take it seriously."

Chen Su’s gaze was unfocused, and her limbs went numb. When Shen Fanyun drew close, an involuntary shiver ran through her.

SLAP!

Shen Fanyun suddenly struck out. Chen Su saw a blur flash before her eyes, followed by a searing pain on her cheek. The taste of blood, coppery and sweet, filled her mouth.

Did a few of my teeth break?

This...

Growing up, Chen Su had never been treated this way. Not even her own grandfather would have dared to hit her like this.

"You... you!" Chen Su seethed with humiliation and fury. This is an utter disgrace!

"Did you write this?" Shen Fanyun asked mechanically, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Chen Su bit her lip, her mind going blank.

SLAP!

Another slap landed. In that instant, Chen Su felt as if her mind had been wiped clean of all memories, leaving behind only an empty void.

"Did you write this?"

"..."

The bodyguards Chen Su had brought were frozen in fear. Not one of them stepped forward to protect her. After two slaps, Chen Su’s face was already beginning to swell.

Pain. A pain that shot through her entire body.

"I... I’ve already made a concession! I agreed to return some of the money to Zhao Jian. What more do you want from me? If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t give Zhao Jian back a single penny! I..."

I’ve already shown them great mercy by offering Zhao Jian’s family a way out. Why is Shen Fanyun still giving me trouble?

"Why wouldn’t they return a penny?" Shen Fanyun raised an eyebrow. "Is this your money? Once it’s in your pocket, it becomes yours completely?"

"..."

SLAP!

Shen Fanyun hit her with a backhand. Caught off guard, Chen Su collapsed to the ground. Blood began to trickle from her nose, mouth, and ears, a horrific sight.

Standing to the side, Zhao Jian silently cheered. Good. A bitch like her will never learn unless you beat some sense into her.

"Please, stop hitting me! Stop!" Chen Su whimpered, clutching her aching face. Fear had finally taken hold, and her entire body trembled with overwhelming anxiety. "I... I’ll return another five million. That should be enough, right?" she negotiated, thinking that such a significant concession should satisfy Shen Fanyun.

However, Shen Fanyun merely looked at her sprawled on the ground as if she were an idiot. She truly values money over her life.

Logically, Chen Su came from a wealthy family. Was it worth risking her life for a few million? Does she value money over her life, or is she just stupid?

"Five million. I’ll transfer it right now," Chen Su insisted, trying to get to her feet.

"How much did she swindle from you?" Shen Fanyun asked Zhao Jian.

Zhao Jian gave an estimate. "About twenty million."

"Zhao Jian, don’t expect me to return all of it," Chen Su retorted. "This is the fruit of my labor! If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being a poor judge of character and jumping into the fire pit. Losing so much money only proves this was a disaster you were fated to have!"

"..."

"..."

Both Shen Fanyun and Zhao Jian were speechless.

Is she a moron?

She had obtained a fortune through scams, deceit, and setting traps for others. Yet somehow, in her eyes, it was a source of inexplicable achievement. It was as if she was saying she deserved it, that she had earned it through her own efforts!

"It seems you still don’t understand the situation you’re in," Shen Fanyun said, pulling over a chair and sitting down in front of her.

Chen Su clutched her phone, the muscles in her face twitching. She was clearly reluctant to give up the Zhao family’s wealth. It was a solid twenty million. Even if the Chen Family was rich, her grandfather would never willingly give her that much money.

"Either you cough up the money, or you leave your life behind," Shen Fanyun reminded her with a wry smile.

Chen Su hesitated.

She’s actually hesitating? Is she really not afraid to die?
