Su Xue gritted her teeth, walked quickly to the old man, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, do you really want this to be known to everyone? In this case, why not let the entire imperial capital know that I owe money!"

"You..." When the old man heard Su Xue's words, he was so angry that he trembled all over and looked at her with wide eyes. He never thought that Su Xue would threaten him in this way.

But Su Xue's words really hit the old man's sore spot.

The Su family is a well-known family in the imperial capital. They have always attached great importance to the family's reputation and image. If the news of Su Xue's debt were to get out, it would be a disgrace to the Su family.

Thinking of this, the old man seemed to have all his strength drained away and he suddenly wilted.

Seeing the change in the old man's attitude, Su Xue felt proud. She knew that as long as she could grasp the old man's weakness, she could easily control him.

So, she continued to pretend to be on the verge of tears and said, "Grandpa, please don't blame me. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. If you are really angry, you can beat me and scold me, but don't hurt yourself because of me."

As she spoke, she gently pulled the old man's arm, trying to win his sympathy in this way.

The old man remained unmoved.

The atmosphere in the living room became extremely tense.

Su Hanhai tried to break the awkward situation. He said, "Dad, Su Xue may really know that she was wrong. Don't be angry. Failure in starting a business is a small matter. Our Su family can afford to pay for it. Let's forget about it. Your health is more important..."

The old man snorted coldly and said, "She knows she's wrong? If she really knew she was wrong, she wouldn't do such a thing!"

Su Hanhai stood aside with a frown on his face. He really didn't expect that the old man would care about such a small matter. Seeing that the old man was very angry, he was also very anxious and didn't know what to do.

Helpless, Su Hanhai could only signal Su Yutang with his eyes to go up and give her some advice.

After receiving the eye signal, Su Yutang frowned slightly.

In fact, she didn't want to plead for Su Xue in her heart. After all, Su Xue's behavior this time was indeed a bit excessive. However, when she saw that her grandfather was so angry about this matter despite his poor health, she couldn't bear it.

She knew very well that her grandfather's physical condition could not withstand such torture. If it continued like this, he might get angry again. After all, he had fainted once because of Su Xue.

Thinking of this, Su Yutang took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, gently held the old man's hand, and said, "Grandpa, don't worry about this matter, I will handle it."

When the old man heard Su Yutang's words, he raised his head and looked at her: "Okay, Yutang, I'll leave this matter to you. Grandpa believes in you."

The old man patted Su Yutang's hand, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

Su Yutang nodded and said, "Grandpa, go back to your room and rest first. Take care of yourself."

The old man glanced at Su Xue who was standing beside him, and a cold look flashed in his eyes: "Remember, if you do something like this again in the future, I will never let you off easily."

After saying that, the old man turned around and pushed his wheelchair out of the living room.

Su Xue quickly said: "Grandpa, I will never make such a mistake again. I will be obedient and filial to you."

Tears glistened in her eyes and she looked very sincere.

But the old man didn't even look at her and walked away without looking back.

Su Xue looked at the old man's back and couldn't help but sneer. She even thought viciously in her heart, why hasn't this old man died yet? It would be better if he had a terminal illness.

She had a premonition that as long as the old man was still around, her affairs would be overwhelmed sooner or later, and she would never have a peaceful day.

Unfortunately, Su Xue still doesn’t know that the old man really has a terminal illness.

At this time, Su Yutang came to Su Xue and looked at her coldly, "Su Xue, for the sake of grandpa's health, you should come back less often in the future."

When Su Xue heard Su Yutang's words, a look of disdain appeared on her face.

She didn't take Su Yutang's warning to heart at all. Instead, she turned around and came to Su Hanhai, instantly putting on a pitiful look, crying and saying, "Dad, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Su Hanhai frowned slightly. He thought it was still a matter of business failure. After all, he knew the difficulties of starting a business and that failure was common.

He was now worried about the old man's health and was in no mood to care about this matter, so he simply comforted him: "It's okay, everyone fails a few times when starting a business, no one will blame you..."

However, Su Xue's next words stunned everyone.

She lowered her head, her voice trembling, and said, "But Dad, I owe a sum of money and I can't pay it back now, so can you lend me some money..."

Su Hanhai frowned and asked, "How much is the difference? Dad will transfer it to you."

He thought that it was normal to lose some money if a business failed, and as long as he could help her get through this difficult time, it would be fine.

Su Xue hesitated for a moment, then whispered a number: "One hundred million!"

"What?" Su Hanhai's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Why so many? What on earth did you do?"

Although the Su family is rich, he is not a fool. Moreover, he has learned about Su Xue's project and naturally knows that such a small project cannot lose so much money.

Su Xue was startled by Su Hanhai's reaction. She stammered and explained, "I... I failed in my investment, and then I borrowed some money to make ends meet. As a result, I owed more and more..."

Su Hanhai frowned. Although he felt that the amount of money was a bit too much, he didn't care much. He just took out his mobile phone and was about to transfer the money, but at this moment, Su Yutang stepped forward and stopped him.

"Dad, I feel that my sister has lost money for no apparent reason. How about I go and check the accounts with her? By the way, I can help her summarize and reflect on the situation to avoid such problems from happening again in the future." Su Yutang looked at Su Xue with a firm gaze.

When Su Hanhai heard Su Yutang's words, he felt that there was some truth in them.

He put down his phone, looked at Su Xue and said, "Yutang is right. We can't lose such a large sum of money in such a muddled way. You should first settle the account with your sister, and then we can discuss what to do."

When Su Xue heard that Su Yutang wanted to reconcile with her, she panicked. Her eyes flickered and she hesitantly said, "No need, Dad. I just failed in my investment. There's nothing to reconcile..."

Su Yutang looked at Su Xue's panic and said calmly: "Sister, this is not a trivial matter. One hundred million is not a small amount. We must find out what is going on with this money. Since you are not capable enough, let your sister help you."
