After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 200: Being Greedy for Some Money Can Lead to Big Trouble!

"Grandpa, you still don’t trust me? You watched me grow up," Chen Su said emphatically, looking like the very picture of an innocent, harmless little rabbit.

Could there be some misunderstanding? Or perhaps the Zhao Family did something, accidentally ran their finances into the ground, and are now pushing all the blame onto Chen Su? If Chen Su can’t resolve this, the Chen Family will have to handle the aftermath. Ultimately, is the Zhao Family just playing dirty, trying to make us clean up their mess? Has my own granddaughter become the scapegoat?

"Hmph, I need to investigate this matter thoroughly," Old Master Chen said, his glare landing on Shen Fanyun, his eyes filled with killing intent. "However, you hitting my granddaughter is a separate issue."

Half of Chen Su’s face was swollen. This punk had really hit her hard. Didn’t he know she was my granddaughter before he struck?

"Investigate? What’s there to investigate when it’s all in black and white? Why beat around the bush?" Shen Fanyun smiled.

He handed a statement to Old Master Chen. I have to say, Chen Su prepared this quite thoroughly. By leaving behind such clear evidence against herself, she saved me the trouble of gathering it.

"A deed of unconditional gift?"

Old Master Chen glanced at it. The document essentially stated that Zhao Jian would voluntarily gift the vast majority of the Zhao Family’s assets to Chen Su and would not seek restitution in the future.

Chen Su’s expression changed slightly, and she rushed to explain, "Grandpa, I just wrote that for fun, it doesn’t count! After Zhao Jian gave me the assets, I was worried he might go back on his word, so I added that clause to the agreement."

"Chen Su!" Zhao Jian scoffed, looking at her coldly. "Don’t you think your explanation is full of holes? You can’t even justify it. Do you think I had nothing better to do than to just give all my family’s assets to you? Are you that shameless, or are you so special that I’d throw everything away for you? Have all the other women in the world died? Why would I sacrifice my entire family’s business for a despicable woman like you?"

Chen Su was speechless.

"Watch your tone," Old Master Chen warned.

Upon closer inspection... my god. Chen Su had actually plundered over twenty million in assets from the Zhao Family, including some loans. This is eating someone alive and not even spitting out the bones. She took all the money and left them with a pile of debt? Still, that number was truly tempting. Twenty million, and pure cash flow at that, not some inflated industrial assets. Even as the head of the family, I couldn’t produce such a sum on a whim unless there was a major crisis.

"If you were unwilling, would the money have ended up in my account? Are you an idiot? Would you give me twenty million for no reason?"

With Chen Su’s sharp retort, the situation seemed to reach a deadlock. From a logical standpoint, her argument made sense.

"Susu is right," Old Master Chen said gravely.

As expected. The old geezer was also eyeing that twenty million in cash. As the saying goes, possession is nine-tenths of the law. Now that the money was in the Chen Family’s pocket, getting them to spit it back out wouldn’t be easy.

"You... you’re all completely shameless!" Zhao Jian roared, unable to contain his anger. This is too infuriating! I was nearly ruined by Chen Su, and now there’s no justice to be found!

"Fine. Keep the money. We don’t want it," Shen Fanyun declared suddenly.

The statement made both Chen Su and Old Master Chen stare, completely baffled. Even Zhao Jian had no idea what trick Shen Fanyun had up his sleeve. After all that fuss, is he just giving up this easily?

I should just leave for now, Old Master Chen pondered. I will definitely get revenge for my granddaughter’s humiliation later. Besides, with twenty million in hand, the Chen Family hasn’t lost out.

Old Master Chen snorted, clasping his hands behind his back as his emotionless gaze swept over Shen Fanyun. "Hmph, I will settle accounts with you sooner or later."

"Fine," Shen Fanyun nodded, revealing a brilliant smile. "I never hide my identity. My surname is Shen, my given name is Fanyun. Don’t come looking for the wrong person."

With his hands clasped behind his back, Old Master Chen had already brushed past Shen Fanyun and reached the door when the name suddenly registered. His pupils constricted sharply. He wasn’t sure he’d heard correctly, suspecting it was a hallucination. "You... what did you say your name was? Shen... Shen Fanyun?"

Just yesterday, I was discussing this man’s "glorious" deeds with my daughter, Chen Wen, and I specifically warned her not to provoke him for the time being. The loss Su Ziye suffered would have to be swallowed for now; we’d wait and see. Who would have thought that after just talking about him, I’d run into him face-to-face today?

Old Master Chen shot his granddaughter an incredulous look. Chen Su instinctively lowered her head and averted her gaze. She clearly knew who this was all along!

"I... I forgot," Chen Su mumbled, sticking out her tongue.

"You!" Old Master Chen seethed, furious at her incompetence. How could she fail to tell me such a crucial detail beforehand? Is "I forgot" an acceptable excuse for something this important?

HISS!

Old Master Chen’s expression fluctuated wildly. He definitely did not want to get entangled with such a thorny character. After all, this guy beat up Han Feng, and the Han Family still hasn’t made a major move... Could he really have some shocking background?

"What, not leaving? Are you waiting for me to buy you dinner?" Shen Fanyun teased.

Old Master Chen was speechless.

Now, the patriarch of the Chen Family was in a quandary, unsure whether to leave or stay. If I insist on keeping the Zhao Family’s assets, will it cause a major disaster? But to willingly cough it back up... that’s twenty million in cash! An astronomical figure that an ordinary person might never touch in their entire life.

"Hmph. You slapped my granddaughter," Old Master Chen said gravely after a pause. "We’ll consider this money her compensation. That makes us even."

Shen Fanyun remarked, "Ten million per slap?" He had, in fact, only slapped her twice. "Your granddaughter’s face is quite precious indeed," he continued, waving a dismissive hand. His smile didn’t reach his eyes, which were incredibly sharp. "Take care. I won’t see you out."

Old Master Chen was speechless.

"Grandpa, let’s go," Chen Su urged, tugging on Old Master Chen’s arm. She didn’t want to stay in this place for a second longer.

Gritting his teeth, Old Master Chen turned and left without a backward glance.

"Brother Yun?" Zhao Jian was anxious, but he also sensed that Shen Fanyun must have another plan.

"Just an appetizer," Shen Fanyun confirmed. "He took twenty million, which means The Chen Family will have to spit out assets worth two hundred million. Or even more."

If I set my mind to it, I could not only bankrupt The Chen Family but make them disappear from Hangcheng City entirely. Some money is too dangerous to covet.

"Understood, Brother Yun. I’ll follow your lead," Zhao Jian nodded without objection.
