After accidentally sending a late-night reading to her ex-boyfriend

What Xiao Heng feared most was not the Xiao family's decision to make him self-reliant.

Instead, he was concerned about how to tell Su Yuyan that capable people never lack the courage to start over. On the contrary, the Xiao family was the most likely to be dragged down if they trusted Xiao Jing, this good-for-nothing.

Not only that, Mo Chenyuan has been helping Xiao Jing all along, but Xiao Heng doesn't think this is a good thing.

After all, Mo Chenyuan would also act in the name of his family.

In the past, he thought that he and Xiao Jing were like brothers, but they would drift apart because of the family business.

Let alone Mo Chenyuan.

It may sound unpleasant, but it's the truth.

……

That evening, Xiao Heng returned home exhausted.

After getting married, to prevent Su Yuyan from being targeted, Xiao Heng moved to a large apartment in the city center. Su Yuyan liked the newly purchased property very much.

Su Yuyan had been waiting to make a comeback and rebuild her career. When she saw Xiao Heng arrive, she was like a happy little bird, running towards him.

"Brother Xiao Heng!"

Su Yuyan said, "My parents asked when the first payment for the project will arrive. We've already signed the contracts and are waiting for the start-up capital."

Su Yuyan's tone revealed her expectation of money.

That's not all.

Su Yuyan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Also, when will my job be finalized? I need a professional team. After the wedding, my reputation will be back, and I'll be able to make a profit very quickly!"

In Xiao Heng's eyes, it was absolutely foolish to risk hundreds of millions of yuan for the meager income of an internet celebrity.

If this wasn't something a woman he liked did, Xiao Heng would really curse her out.

Even when things are going well, people still curse, let alone in the current situation where they've lost the Xiao family's help and need to start all over again.

Meanwhile, Su Yuyan was excitedly discussing how big her studio should be, how many people it should have, how many male celebrities it should have, and how to release press releases to help her make a comeback.

Every word and phrase is asking for the same thing: money.

A lot of money.

It seems the Xiao family is a cash cow.

Perhaps because Su Yuyan comes from a wealthy family, Xiao Heng felt that such a request was quite normal. If the Su family were still at its peak, they would have given Su Yuyan whatever she wanted without reservation.

Because of these thoughts, Xiao Heng wavered again. He didn't lose face and spoke to Su Yuyan in a gentle tone, "Your parents urgently need funds, and this is a considerable amount of money. Let's talk about setting up your studio later. Things have to be done one step at a time. Besides, the Su family has a solid foundation. If your parents-in-law make money, we can relax a bit, and they will support you."

Su Yuyan subconsciously retorted: "The Su family also has Su Hong. My parents said that my younger brother is not as good as me. The Su family used to have such a big family background, but it faced a crisis because Su Hong didn't know how to do business."

Even if things recover now, I still need to save some money for Su Hong for a while. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to make a comeback. I'll help as much as I can.

Previously, Xiao Heng's understanding of helping was simply to lend a hand to the Su family when they were in trouble, to provide some assistance so that the Su family could get back on their feet.

But now it feels like the Su family is trying to leech off me.

The Su family's money is gone, and the Su family won't help me in the slightest.

Moreover, Su Yuyan also plans to use the money she earns from her own business to support the Su family in the future.

At this moment, Xiao Heng regretted what to do.

It's because he's no longer the chosen one of the Xiao family. No matter what, he'll have to plan more for himself in the future.

He didn't take anything with him; he'll really have to rely on himself from now on.

In the past, he wouldn't have been afraid to start over because he had nearly a billion in his private account.

Starting a business means you can always get back on your feet.

"Yanyan, Su Hong is an adult now and doesn't need you to help him like this anymore. You're married and have your own life now. You need to learn to think about yourself."

Su Yuyan hugged Xiao Heng and said softly, "Brother Xiao Heng is still the best to me. You're the first person to say these words to me since we were little!"

Xiao Heng's lips curled into a smile, just about to congratulate himself on persuading Su Yuyan, "Yanyan, you can rest at home. I can afford to support you!"

Su Yuyan is very clever. Her gentleness is merely a means for her to obtain everything, not a sign of her being obedient or sensible.

Therefore, Su Yuyan still insisted: "I will not give up my career and will stick to my values. Brother Xiao Heng, you should support me!"

Xiao Heng took a deep breath, not wanting to lose his temper.

Xiao Heng thought for a moment and said, "I've been thinking about it. A personal studio isn't reliable. I'll set up a company specifically to handle your business. We can go it alone on this front. If it goes well, my parents won't find fault with it. What do you think?"

"The company!"

Su Yuyan hesitated for a moment.

"Then the decision is no longer in my hands!"

Xiao Heng coaxed, "I'll take full responsibility; it's no different from putting it under your control!"

Su Yuyan's eyes dimmed.

She married Xiao Heng for certain conditions.

Every day, she had thoughts of how to take everything from the Xiao family back into her own heart, since the Xiao family had so many things to offer.

In her view, what she wanted was just a drop in the ocean.

……

"Xiao Heng really is an ingrate!"

This was the first thing Xiao Jinglai said when he arrived, and he was filled with righteous indignation.

Because the Xiao family made a mistake in arguing with Xiao Heng, they never expected to be bitten back.

Xiao Jing's previous brotherly affection for Xiao Heng has now shattered completely.

In fact, Xiao Jing never wanted to see Xiao Heng again and regretted being so good to him in the past.

Xiao Jing didn't care about anything, but Xiao Heng wanted to ruin him and felt that everything in the Xiao family should belong to him.

This is something that is shameful to think about.

As a result, Xiao Jing's cursing never stopped.

Mo Chenyuan silently looked at the tablet. Xiao Jing had already drunk two glasses of water since he came in, and still felt it wasn't enough.

"Jiang Yueyue, how can someone be so ungrateful? I treated him like my own brother!"

Jiang Yue's tone was calm and unhurried: "It's good that you see things clearly now. You should thank Su Yuyan, otherwise you wouldn't have discovered all this. Perhaps by the time you did, the Xiao family would no longer belong to anyone. Didn't Mo Chenyuan say that Xiao Heng didn't even know his situation and still transferred many projects from the Xiao Group for personal use? You might really end up with nothing!"

Xiao Jing was also terrified.

"But then again, Xiao Heng isn't in charge of the company now, so who is? My dad's already gone to the company to stabilize things, and everything's a complete mess. I hope I won't have to take over later. I've been feeling awful these past few days; what am I going to do?!"

Xiao Jing has indeed been spoiled rotten.

Mo Chenyuan put down his tablet: "Xiao Jing, everyone has gone through this. If it weren't for Xiao Heng, you would have taken over these things long ago. It's not too late to learn now!"
