Chapter: 2922

After the Su family exposed their issues, Charlie Wade felt calm. He had Su Shoudao and Su Shoude under his control, and he was the one who had killed Xuan Fengnian. So, Charlie wasn’t worried about the Su family trying to retaliate against him.

What really concerned him was Su Zhiyu. If she decided to work with him, it would make Su Chengfeng very angry. He might even take his anger out on Su Zhiyu. The Su family and the Ye family were fierce rivals, and if Su Zhiyu teamed up with Charlie, it would seem to Su Chengfeng like she was betraying her family.

Charlie wanted to find a way to grow his business, but he didn’t want to put Su Zhiyu in danger. He didn’t want to risk harming her.

He turned to Song Wanting, who didn’t know the full story, and said, “I know Su Zhiyu, but my business still isn’t doing well. Going to her for help now would feel like I’m trying to take advantage of her. It might seem like I’m threatening her into cooperating with me, which feels morally wrong.”

Song Wanting listened and nodded, understanding his point. She knew Charlie Wade well enough to realize he wouldn’t use someone’s kindness as a way to make a deal.

On the other hand, Wang Dongxue, who knew more about Charlie’s true background, sensed what he was really thinking. She said thoughtfully, “I heard that Su Chengfeng, the head of the Su family,…”

Wang Dongxue was feeling serious as she spoke. “It’s troubling how far someone will go for family honor. Su Zhiyu’s situation is dangerous. Her own family could plan to harm her, including her mother-in-law and even her daughter. I fear that once the excitement around Su Zhiyu dies down, her father, Su Chengfeng, will turn against her. He’s only holding back now because he needs her for business, but that won’t last.”

She continued, “Think about it: Su Zhiyu is like a little girl with a lot of money. If she goes out alone at night with millions, how can she be safe? There are many cases in history where people have suffered for less. I worry that she won’t be able to keep herself out of trouble.”

Charlie listened intently, feeling a knot of worry in his stomach. He knew she was right. Su Chengfeng was currently dependent on Su Zhiyu, which is why he was willing to sacrifice something important to keep peace. But as time went by and the situation calmed down, Su Chengfeng would likely become restless. He might even see Su Zhiyu as a threat again.

With that in mind, Charlie realized that working with Su Zhiyu could actually help protect her. He spoke up with determination, “Then we should stick to our original plan. Whether we end up partnering with Su Zhiyu or not, we need to focus on registering the company, applying for licenses, and gathering resources. If we don’t do this groundwork, we won’t be able to use any resources, even if we get them from Su Zhiyu.”

He added, “I’ll look for a chance to talk to her about the partnership.”
