Chapter: 2943
Su Zhiyu felt happy when she heard her mother speak. She grabbed her mother’s arm and excitedly said, “Mom, today my grandfather called my other grandfather while I was there and told him on the phone that he was going to settle some scores. It scared him so much!”
“Really?” Du Haiqing asked, intrigued. “Is Charlie Wade really going to confront your grandfather?”
“Not exactly,” Su Zhiyu clarified. “Grandpa thinks that confronting him now won’t help Charlie Wade at all. Instead, it would just benefit my uncles, aunts, and the Ye family.”
“That’s true,” Du Haiqing agreed. “Many people in the Su family are hoping for your grandfather to have trouble even more than Charlie Wade. If Charlie Wade actually did something to him, the rest of the Su family would be laughing in their dreams.”
Su Zhiyu smiled and said, “So my benefactor decided to just scare grandpa a little, then asked him to reach out to me for help. Right after he hung up, grandpa called me! It was totally unexpected. It’s like fate at work.”
Du Haiqing nodded and chuckled softly, “This isn’t too surprising. Charlie Wade is blocking other options and only leaving one path for you. It’s like a lake with a hole; the water will naturally flow there.”
Then Du Haiqing added, “Charlie Wade is helping you again. Your grandfather feels threatened by him, so he probably has no choice but to ask you for help now. He won’t dare to think badly of you in the future.”
“Exactly,” Su Zhiyu replied with a smile. “And to impress me, he even offered me the Maldives island he was saving for his retirement!”
“Fun!” Du Haiqing exclaimed, surprised. “That’s great for him! Don’t you really want it?”
Su Zhiyu replied earnestly, “He wants to give it to me, so of course, I have to accept it. I’ll tell him that I’m flying to the Maldives tomorrow, and Su Anshun will transfer the property rights to me there.”
Du Haiqing sighed, “You want an island that won’t be of much use. It’s better to let him keep it for retirement. As people get older, they value a place to retire even more. This isn’t just about spending over two billion yuan; it’s about his feelings. I think he’s just being polite and doesn’t believe you really want it.”
Su Zhiyu huffed, a bit angry. “I don’t care! If he offers it to me, I’ll take it. I don’t mind if he’s sincere or not.”
“You stubborn kid…” Du Haiqing said, shaking his head. “You should be forgiving. After all, he is your grandfather.”
Su Zhiyu shook her head. “I don’t think you’re being very understanding. I can choose not to hold it against him, but I won’t ever forgive him.”
Du Haiqing sighed, feeling helpless. “The island you want doesn’t have any practical use. Even if you go on vacation, you’ll only spend ten days there each year.”
Su Zhiyu responded, “I don’t want to go for just a day. Let’s keep it. Who knows what use it might have in the future?”
“Alright,” Du Haiqing smiled, joking. “You could save it for your dowry or use it as a wedding venue. Many rich and famous people like to book weddings on islands in the Maldives, right?”
Su Zhiyu blushed and replied shyly, “I don’t know when that will be. But anyway, I want this island, even if I don’t…”
“I’m happy to leave it at that,” Su Zhiyu said.
“Good, good,” Du Haiqing replied with a nod. “You’ve made your decision, and Mom won’t interfere.”
Su Zhiyu smiled sweetly and asked, “Mom, will you go to the Maldives with me tomorrow? We can fly there early in the morning. It will take about seven or eight hours. The formalities will take up to two hours, and then we can fly back. You’ll be home by night.”
She added, “And instead of a commercial flight, we can take a private jet so we can sleep the whole way.”
Du Haiqing smiled lightly and said, “I won’t go. I don’t want to see the Su family, especially not Su Anshun. Would you like your brother to go with you?”
“My brother?” Su Zhiyu frowned. “I don’t want to ask him. If you don’t want to go, I’ll just go by myself.”
“Is something wrong?” Du Haiqing asked, curious. “Did you have a fight with your brother?”
