Obsessive Love, The Possessive Real Young Lady - Chapter 61

Gao Wei looked at the time the email was sent again.

Only then did she realize it had been sent three days after they returned to City H.

So much time had passed, she wondered how Su Sui was doing?

Without a moment’s hesitation, she quickly logged into her account and sent Su Sui a message.

【Su Su Jie, are you encountering any difficulties? I am willing to help you.】

When Su Sui, on the other end of the network cable, was in a meeting in the Shen Group’s conference room, she was visibly stunned when she saw this message.

Willing to help her?

This statement was something Su Sui had never heard before in her life.

From childhood, she had suffered all sorts of scorn, ridicule, and bullying. Back then, she truly longed for someone to stand up and tell her, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you.”

But no one ever did. No one ever stood up to speak for her, nor did anyone offer a hand to pull her up. Because of this, every day she thought that no one in this world cared about her, was concerned for her, and certainly no one truly liked her, so why should she live? And for what purpose?

This continued until Shen Jiayan appeared in her life.

Only then did Su Sui realize that lollipops came in many flavors, Barbie dolls could have many sets of clothes, the mattresses for sleeping could be so soft, the food one could eat wasn’t just hard steamed buns, and the water one drank could even make one burp…

She and Shen Jiayan became good friends, or at least in her heart, Shen Jiayan was her best friend. But their friendship was shattered by an accident.

Su Sui remembered it was because Shen Wenshan bought many gifts for her. She excitedly took them all, planning to play with Shen Jiayan, only to be locked in the closet she feared most by her good friend, Shen Jiayan.

As she huddled in the dark corner, hugging her knees and crying in fear,

As she once again doubted the meaning of her own existence, she heard Shen Jiayan’s laughter.

It was a very happy laugh, unrestrained. It was a sound of pure joy she had never heard before.

It was like any children’s song she had heard before light, cheerful, full of joy and expectation.

In that moment, all the fear in her heart was dispelled by the laughter. It was also then that she found the meaning of her existence: to make her always unhappy friend, Shen Jiayan, happy.

Therefore, she transformed from someone who yearned for others’ care and help into someone who constantly considered Shen Jiayan, lived for Shen Jiayan, and would go through fire and water for her.

Her world had always been very small, so small that it could only accommodate Shen Jiayan. She certainly didn’t need help or pity from anyone else.

What’s more, the person offering help was a short-lived ghost who couldn’t even save herself.

She was truly curious, how could Gao Wei brazenly say such a thing?

Willing to help her? Help with what? And what ability would she have to help?

Truly both naive and foolish.

Su Sui’s fingers tapped on the screen: 【What can you help me with?】 But after typing it, she felt it was meaningless.

Just as she was hesitating over what to write, the previously quiet conference room erupted in noise again.

“This matter has blown up so big, it has already brought considerable negative impact to the group. The stock price has already dropped by 2 points. In my opinion, you, the acting chairperson, should resign out of guilt.”

“I agree,” a shareholder sitting in the vice-chair position echoed. “Although our group is a family business and we don’t need to be bound by the seniority of positions, as the acting chairperson, one should think for our group. If you can’t even do that, what right do you have to lead us?”

Shen Shihao, seated at the head of the conference table, frowned, his expression grave.

He cursed inwardly more than once.

He didn’t know how, but right after his mother, Fu Jing, left on a business trip, sensational news about him interfering in a movie queen’s marriage broke out, and it even came with high definition footage.

For this, he had contacted countless public relations firms to suppress the news. However, unexpectedly, the more money he spent, the bigger the news got.

Now, netizens were all making memes out of him and the movie queen.

Shen Shihao glanced at Su Sui, seeing that her expression was calm, as if she didn’t care at all about what they were saying.

His anger intensified.

Logically, with the stock price falling, Su Sui would suffer the most, as she held 25% of the hard shares. With such a serious event happening, he didn’t believe this little girl would just sit by and do nothing.

Shen Shihao put on a grim face, “This news is indeed my fault. But who can tell what’s true and what’s false online? Most of the gossiping public are just looking for excitement; once the heat dies down, they will naturally shift their focus elsewhere. But if you take away my position as chairperson at this moment, wouldn’t that be tantamount to admitting the news is true? I’m afraid the stock price drop would be more than just 2 points then.” After speaking, he glanced at Su Sui, “Major shareholder Su, do you think I have a point?”

His tone was gloomy, as if he was warning her about something.

But Su Sui’s gaze was fixed on the computer screen.

A faint, lazy smile still lingered on her face, as if she wasn’t worried at all.

Shen Shihao became increasingly annoyed.

Su Sui’s composure and indifference made Shen Shihao feel like a clown.

She was clearly a girl in her twenties, yet she could remain so calm and indifferent.

A strange sense of defeat rose in him, and his gaze toward Su Sui grew colder.

“The Shen Group’s stock has dropped so much, and you aren’t nervous at all. Do you really not care!” Shen Shihao let out two cold laughs, “Your attitude makes me suspect that you were secretly plotting this incident!”

Su Sui narrowed her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

She slowly stood up and walked two steps closer to Shen Shihao, “Oh? Then Chairman Shen, please tell me, why would I do something that harms others and myself?”

Shen Shihao was left speechless in the confrontation and could only turn his head away with a red face.

Su Sui smiled faintly, reached out, and patted his shoulder, “Since you’re asking someone to clean up your mess, you should have a better attitude, shouldn’t you?”

Shen Shihao glared at her through gritted teeth.

Su Sui ignored him, turned around, and nodded towards Assistant Xiao Sun, who was standing in the corner.

Xiao Sun understood and quickly distributed the pre-prepared emergency plan to all the shareholders.

“This is an emergency plan that my team and I stayed up all night working on last night.” Su Sui placed a copy next to Shen Shihao, signaling him to look at it.

Shen Shihao glanced at it, and his expression immediately turned grim.

Su Sui ignored him again, then added, “I hope that through this plan, we can minimize our losses and also restore the group’s image, preventing this storm from escalating further. Of course, whether to implement it in the end is for Chairman Shen to discuss personally with the shareholders and weigh carefully.”

After Su Sui finished speaking, several long-term shareholders reviewed the plans in their hands and began to discuss amongst themselves.

Shen Shihao’s right hand, gripping the document, had bulging veins, looking particularly ferocious.

“What the hell is this nonsense?” he finally couldn’t help but roar, “Putting other things aside, but charity is charity donating money or goods, what’s wrong with that? Why must I donate bone marrow?!”

“Chairman Shen, please don’t misunderstand. The plan only suggests the chairman take the lead in bone marrow matching,” Su Sui’s tone was leisurely and light, “As for whether the donation will ultimately succeed, that depends on whether the match is successful. And the probability of success is only one in 200,000. Moreover, as far as I know, this kind of charity event is not the first time our group has done it. During the time of the late Chairman Shen, he led several shareholders to participate in a matching once. You are just continuing the Shen Group’s charitable endeavors.”

Hearing her say this, some shareholders immediately chimed in, “Yes, I remember participating in the matching with the late Chairman Shen back then, it just wasn’t successful.”

“I also participated.”

“Mmm, me too.”

“…”

The shareholders spoke one after another, all appearing to agree.

Shen Shihao clenched his fists tightly.

How could he not know that his uncle had taken the shareholders for bone marrow matching? Although he was young then, he had also been taken to get a needle prick for a blood sample.

He wasn’t worried about the success of the blood test for matching, but he vaguely felt that Su Sui was plotting against him.

However, he couldn’t find any loophole, which frustrated him to the point of wanting to vomit blood.

“Then, shareholders, do you agree with my plan?” Su Sui asked with a smile.

She was wearing a white dress under a black overcoat, which made her look even more slender and graceful. Her composed demeanor was dazzling.

In contrast, he felt like a withered, decaying weed.

The shareholder meeting ultimately passed the emergency plan provided by Su Sui.

After she and Xiao Sun left the conference room, Su Sui let out a long sigh of relief.

“CEO Su, are you returning to the company or…”

Xiao Sun asked cautiously.

From her observations, although CEO Su still spent her time reading alone during this period, her mood was almost written all over her face, lacking the usual calm and steady demeanor.

“You take a taxi back to the company yourself,” Su Sui dropped a sentence and then left first.

Back in the car, Su Sui took out her phone, intending to contact the private investigator following Fu Jing.

But when she saw the string of messages left in the chat box on the screen, a smile appeared on her face.

【You don’t need to be polite with me; we are friends. If you have difficulties, you can tell me. Although I won’t live long, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help you.】

【Su Su Jie, don’t worry. Shen Jiayan is very well.】

【Su Su Jie, are you still there?】

【Su Su Jie, what exactly happened? I’m very worried about you.】

“This person’s personality is really the same as always,” Su Sui murmured, and casually replied: 【Don’t worry about me, take good care of Shen Jiayan for me.】

After replying, she found the private investigator’s phone number and was about to dial when Gao Wei’s number popped up.

Su Sui pressed the decline button.

The other party was persistent and kept calling, preventing her from even communicating with the private investigator.

Su Sui hesitated for a moment, then answered the call.

“Hello, what is it?”

But the other end of the line was silent for a long time, so long that Su Sui was almost losing patience.

“If there’s nothing to say, then I’ll hang up.”

“Wait.”

Just as Su Sui was about to hang up, Shen Jiayan’s voice came through, “Su Sui, is there something you are hiding from me?”
