The reason why Xue Yi was invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony this time was because Zheng'an Group also contributed to the previous investment.

Xue Yi had the final say in the next bidding phase. As long as he said yes, no one else could change the outcome.

Su Yanqing stared at Su Zhenwen coldly, and Su Zhenwen looked back at her proudly.

"Su Zhenwen, looking at you now, I understand why the Su family has fallen into this situation."

"Do you think I'm really a fool? Although I work in Zheng'an Group, I can't influence President Xue's decision. Even if I could, do you think I would do this for you?" Su Yanqing turned around and was about to leave.

"That's all I need."

Su Yanqing turned around and looked at Su Zhenwen, who was holding a very special jade pendant in his hand.

Su Yanqing's eyes suddenly widened, her face full of surprise.

She involuntarily took a few steps forward, trying to snatch it from Su Zhenwen.

Unexpectedly, Su Zhenwen took a step back and hid the jade pendant behind him.

He looked at Su Yanqing proudly and said, "When you were a child, you stayed in the countryside for a while, and when you came back, you took this jade pendant with you."

"I was curious at the time, wondering why you liked it. While you were asleep, I asked Mom to show me the jade pendant in your hand. That's when I realized it came in pairs."

Su Yanqing bit her lower lip, her eyes cold as she looked straight at Su Zhenwen: "I've been looking for this jade pendant, and you took it away."

"Su Yanqing."

Su Zhenwen looked at Su Yanqing coldly. "Who on earth did you secretly get engaged to at such a young age? How shameless! If I'm not mistaken, this thing is a token of your relationship, right? Without it, how can you be sure that person will still recognize you?"

Su Yanqing stood there, her fists clenched so tightly that veins popped out.

She took a few deep breaths and said, "Give me back the jade pendant."

Su Zhenwen snorted coldly: "Unless you agree to my conditions now, I will smash this jade pendant to pieces. You will never see your lover again."

If Su Zhenwen was not her biological father, Su Yanqing really wanted to curse him viciously.

She never dreamed that her own father would do such a thing to her.

She had been searching for this jade pendant for so many years, and even returned to her childhood home several times.

Su Zhenwen watched all this from the side, looking like he was enjoying it.

At this moment, Su Yanqing began to doubt whether she was Su Zhenwen's daughter.

Just as Su Yanqing was thinking, Su Zhenwen raised the jade pendant in his hand and looked at Su Yanqing with a sneer: "It seems that you don't particularly want it, so I'll throw it away now."

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to begin. As a mall investor, Xue Yi was invited to stand in the center of the ribbon-cutting procession.

He noticed that Su Yanqing looked tired and kept looking around, so he asked in a low voice: "Vice President Su."

Su Yanqing was so distracted that she didn't hear Xue Yi's voice at all.

"Vice President Su." Xue Yi called again.

Su Yanqing suddenly came to her senses and looked at Xue Yi in panic.

Xue Yi pointed to the middle of the team and said, "Stand with me."

Su Yanqing responded and followed Xue Yi to the center of the team. Seeing this, Su Zhenwen also wanted to squeeze in.

"and many more."

A staff member immediately stopped Su Zhenwen and looked him up and down. "Who are you? Only those who are invited can come on stage to cut the ribbon."

Su Zhenwen glared at the staff with dissatisfaction, then pointed at Su Yanqing: "She asked me to come."

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Su Yanqing.

Su Yanqing looked very embarrassed, frowning and rubbing her hands back and forth in front of her body.

Su Zhenwen seemed to be afraid that this situation was not chaotic enough. He jumped up, waved at Su Yanqing and said loudly, "Vice President Su, didn't you just invite me to come up on stage to cut the ribbon?"

Xue Yi glanced at Su Zhenwen coldly, then turned to look at Su Yanqing.

After hesitating for a moment, he was about to ask the security guard to take Su Zhenwen away.

Sensing Xue Yi's displeasure, Su Zhenwen raised his voice instead: "Vice President Su, please give me some advice."

Su Yanqing's face flushed, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Boss Xue, let him come. I can give him my position here."

Seeing Su Yanqing like this, Xue Yi was a little surprised.

After looking at her carefully, he thought for a while and signaled the staff not to stop Su Zhenwen.

Su Zhenwen, who had received Wu Hui, proudly shook off the staff and rushed onto the stage with his head held high.

As soon as he got up, he pushed Su Yanqing aside and squeezed next to Xue Yi. He nodded with a smile and said, "Boss Xue, you still have the most face."

As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Su Yanqing with contempt.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Xue Yi said with a sullen face, "I only let you come up for Su Yanqing's sake."

While speaking, Xue Yi moved slightly and deliberately kept some distance from Su Zhenwen.

Seeing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Su Zhenwen's face, and he forced a smile and glanced in Su Yanqing's direction.

Then, he pulled Su Yanqing's sleeve with a stern face, suppressed his anger and said, "Since that's the case, then you, the vice president, should stand back next to President Xue."

So, Su Zhenwen pushed Su Yanqing back to Xue Yi, and stood on the other side.

Su Yanqing lowered her head slightly and looked cautiously at Su Zhenwen beside her. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she said, "Thank you... I'm sorry for the trouble."

At this time, Xue Yi was chatting with others. Hearing this, he just sighed softly, "You have to be decisive in doing things, otherwise you will be entangled by others."

In fact, Su Yanqing knew all these principles very well.

But... thinking of the importance of the thing in her hand, Su Yanqing lowered her head and pondered again.

At this moment, behind the transparent glass window in a room on the second floor, a pair of eyes were staring closely at everything happening on the stage and remembering these scenes firmly.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony finally concluded with the host's well-wishes. He then introduced the following procedures: "To celebrate the official opening of our jewelry store, the organizers have specially provided some low-priced storefronts for auction by guests attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony today. Please proceed to the inner hall for the next step."

There was constant laughter and chatter in the crowd, and everyone was walking inside.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Zhenwen suddenly grabbed Su Yanqing's arm, pulled out the treasure from his pocket, and threatened: "You'd better be obedient, otherwise this jade will be in jeopardy!"

Faced with the sudden change, Su Yanqing was so nervous that her hands were shaking.

At this moment, Xue Yi, who was walking in front, noticed that someone was missing and turned around to ask, "Vice President Su?"

When her name was called, Su Yanqing responded as if she had suddenly woken up.

"Remember my request." Su Zhenwen said viciously and let go of his hand.

But Su Yanqing did not respond to his warning and quickly caught up with Xue Yi who was waiting for her in front.

Xue Yi frowned and looked at Su Zhenwen for a long time, then asked Su Yanqing in a low voice: "What's going on? Is there something wrong?"
