You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Jiang Che spoke calmly, addressing both Su Qinghe and Bai Qing.

He was telling Bai Qing in this way that he was clear-headed, not blinded by love, but would never give up easily.

Besides the reasons mentioned above, the uncertainty about the relationship stems from what happened before Su Qinghe was hospitalized.

Jiang Che felt a headache coming on as soon as he recalled the scene where the two almost went too far.

The uncertainty of the relationship is also a way for him to indirectly restrain himself and prevent himself from doing anything that crosses the line.

It was also a way of indirectly restraining Su Qinghe, but for this lovestruck girl who had already fallen for him to the point of obsession, the restraint was barely noticeable.

After listening to Jiang Che's explanation, Bai Qing's lips twitched slightly, and she uttered a single word.

"stable."

It's unclear whether they're praising Jiang Che's method or his rhetoric.

"The Su family used to be a prominent family in Lincheng. Now that the Su family is bankrupt, what are your plans for the future?"

Bai Qing asked Su Qinghe this question.

Seeing Bai Qing suddenly bring up this matter, Jiang Dahai, who was in the know, quickly coughed and said, "Wife, you know what happened with the Su family. Qinghe has suffered a lot. Let's not talk about it."

He then looked at Su Qinghe and comforted her, "Qinghe, don't take it to heart. Your aunt is just concerned about you. She's just being a bit blunt. She didn't mean any harm."

"Now that Jiang Che has brought you back, the Jiang family will help you settle all the grudges left over from the Su family in the past."

Jiang Dahai had previously cooperated with the Su family and had met Su Qinghe several times, so he knew the girl's character.

In his eyes, even if Su Qinghe became worse later, she was still a million times better than that Lin something-or-other thing.

So Jiang Dahai thought this daughter-in-law was quite good.

She is someone his son likes, and she meets his requirements for his future daughter-in-law in terms of character, culture, and other external conditions.

Therefore, Jiang Dahai's attitude towards Su Qinghe was quite good from beginning to end, which was a stark contrast to Bai Qing's rather indifferent attitude.

After hearing what Jiang Dahai said, Su Qinghe shook her head, put down her chopsticks, and sat up straight. "Thank you, Uncle. A-Che has almost finished taking care of it for me."

Then he slightly turned his gaze to meet Bai Qing's eyes and answered her question.

"Although the Su family is now bankrupt, my father left behind an estate before he passed away, which includes money, real estate, and shares."

"I've already had these things notarized by a lawyer. Once the process is complete, I want to hand them all over to A-Che to handle."

Su Qinghe glanced at Jiang Che, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Whether it's supporting A-Che's future career or as compensation for the Jiang family helping me clean up the mess in the Su family, I don't plan to keep any of these things for myself."

"From now on, I only have A-Che. Wherever he is, I will be there."

For a moment, everyone in the private room was stunned by Su Qinghe's words.

Jiang Che also turned his head to look at Su Qinghe. The little girl's thin and weak body was sitting upright at this moment, her back not bent at all, and her beautiful face was full of seriousness and earnestness.

She is not Jiang Che or Bai Qing, nor does she like to beat around the bush.

She laid out her attitude and stance so directly in front of Bai Qing.

Jiang Che secretly turned his gaze back to the main seat to observe his mother's reaction.

Bai Qing was also slightly surprised for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

She's not an eighteen-year-old girl; she won't be easily moved by such a heartfelt confession.

"She has some backbone," Bai Qing commented, her gaze passing over Jiang Che and fixing directly on Su Qinghe's face. "But the Jiang family really doesn't care about this little thing."

For a top-tier wealthy family like the Jiang family, when choosing a future matriarch, they never value illusory love or attachment, but only tangible worth.

"Mom." Jiang Che instinctively felt that what his mother was about to say wouldn't be very pleasant, so he quickly put down his chopsticks, preparing to take over the conversation, "Qinghe was just discharged from the hospital, don't say such things..."

Bai Qing shot Jiang Che a sharp look, cutting him off immediately, "Shut up, I wasn't asking you."

"..."

Jiang Che was speechless.

He knew that if he tried to protect Su Qinghe at this time, it would only make his mother think that Su Qinghe was useless and thus make her even more disgusted.

But he also felt that these things were far too complicated and cruel for Su Qinghe, a student who had only recently come of age.

Bai Qing looked at Su Qinghe again, "If you want to show your loyalty, fine; if you want to entrust your fortune to Jiang Che, no one will stop you."

"But if the Jiang family wants to gain a foothold, a few empty promises and a little dispensable inheritance are far from enough."

Su Qinghe met Bai Qing's imposing gaze without flinching, showing no intention of avoiding it.

"Jiang Che is about to take the college entrance examination. The foundation of our Jiang family has basically shifted to the capital. Naturally, he will also take the college entrance examination in the capital."

"Once he goes to university and finishes his studies, he will directly enter the core of the Jiang family's company and take over the business. Old Jiang can't manage such a big business on his own. In the future, all the company's business will depend on Jiang Che to take over."

What kind of place is the capital?

The various factions are deeply entrenched and ruthless, devouring people without spitting out their bones.

Bai Qing continued her attack: "Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you should be able to understand how deep the waters run in the capital."

"The person sitting next to Jiang Che cannot be a pretty face who only hides behind him and sheds tears."

Bai Zhenping and Zhang Hui both stopped eating, and even Bai Yuning, who always loved to liven up the atmosphere, shut up and looked at Su Qinghe with some worry.

"The Jiang family doesn't need a hothouse flower that needs to be carefully protected." Bai Qing's words cut like a cold blade to Su Qinghe. "What the Jiang family wants is a sharp blade that can shield him from the storm and kill for him."

"Do you think you can make this knife?"

All the pressure fell on Su Qinghe.

Jiang Che quietly took Su Qinghe's slightly cold hand under the table, gently squeezed it in his palm, and gestured for her not to force herself to be strong.

But he underestimated Su Qinghe.

Su Qinghe is not some delicate hothouse flower that needs careful nurturing.

The girl took a deep breath and squeezed the boy's warm hand tightly.

Then, under everyone's gaze, she looked directly at Bai Qing, and said calmly, word by word:

"Auntie, the Su family used to be in the building materials business in Lincheng, and later they also got involved in logistics, warehousing and physical retail."

"I don't know much about building materials, but I have done in-depth research on logistics. At the peak of the Su family, they controlled at least half of the freight lines in Lincheng."
