Chapter 360: The Spirit of Su Ruoxue
Seeing the Su family members all addressing her as their leader, Su Ruoxue's eyes shimmered with ripples. She truly hadn't thought that one day she would become the head of the Su family.
"Su Ruoxue has actually become the head of the Su family?"
Watching as the Su family members paid their respects to Su Ruoxue one after another, Su Tianhao felt as if he had suffered a million points of critical damage. His face turned completely dark, and at that moment, indescribable jealousy and frenzy gnawed at his heart.
After years of battling Su Ruoxue, just as he was about to take command of the vast Su family, who could have imagined that at the last moment, Ye Fan would turn the tables with Su Ruoxue.
"Damn it all!" Su Yue raged internally without end.
In the effort to support Su Tianhao to become the head of the Su family, her grandparents had passed away one after another; not to mention how utterly devastated Su Yue felt inside at this time.
Ye Fan looked coldly at siblings Su Tianhao and Su Yue and said, "Unexpected, isn't it? After all the struggle, Ruoxue and I have turned out to be the biggest winners! In fact, from the very beginning, the outcome of this battle was already decided, it's just that even I didn't expect the ending to be so tragic!"
"Ye Fan, just say it, what do you really want?" Su Tianhao asked unwillingly.
Now that Su Ruoxue had gained the upper hand, Su Tianhao knew he was powerless to turn the tide, since he and his sister were implicated in Elder Master Su's death, and it was unlikely Ye Fan would let them off easily.
To Su Tianhao's surprise, Ye Fan gave a sardonic smile, "What do I want? Nothing much! In consideration of the fact that you are the flesh and blood of Elder Master Su, on behalf of Ruoxue, I am expelling the two of you from the Su family. I hope from now on you don't cause any trouble! Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing mercy to anyone!"
"You... you're actually going to let us go?" Su Tianhao was extremely shocked.
With an intense gaze, Ye Fan stated, "You should feel lucky to have had a good grandfather, if it weren't for Elder Master Su, I wouldn't want to forgive you so easily! Now, you are free to leave!"
"Are you really planning to let us go?" Su Tianhao still couldn't believe it. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
Ye Fan scoffed, "What? Don't want to leave? If you wish to stay, that's not impossible!"
"Let's go, Yue'er, we must go!"
Seeing that Ye Fan didn't seem to be jesting, Su Tianhao hurriedly got up from the ground and urgently spoke to his sister Su Yue.
"Go? Big brother, where can we go?" Su Yue said with bitterness.
She had grown up in the Su family since she was little, and if she were to leave the Su family, she really didn't know where they would belong.
Su Tianhao urged, "Don't worry about that right now, better to be alive and cling to hope than to die; we'll take it one step at a time!"
"That's the only way!"
Su Yue naturally knew that being alive was better than being dead; she quickly got up and followed Su Tianhao as they rapidly fled from the Su family ancestral home.
Watching the retreating figures of Su Tianhao and Su Yue, Lin Wu murmured, "God Ye, do you really plan to let those two go? If you wish to eradicate the roots, I can send someone to do it now!"
"No need, let's leave it at that!" Ye Fan waved his hand.
To tell the truth, Ye Fan truly didn't plan to let Su Tianhao and Su Yue go.
Having chosen to draw the sword, eradicating the roots was indeed the best choice.
Yet Ye Fan couldn't help but recall the scene when Elder Master Su, Su Dongguo, urged them to leave quickly before his death. Ye Fan knew that Elder Master Su must have guessed that Old Lady Su and others conspired to poison him, but since they were his flesh and blood, Elder Master Su couldn't bear to be ruthless.
Elder Master Su had been so good to Su Ruoxue, and in consideration of Elder Master Su, Ye Fan also found it difficult to completely annihilate Su Tianhao and Su Yue.
Ye Fan understood that if it weren't for the position of head of the Su family, Elder Master Su wouldn't have been poisoned by Old Lady Su and the others.
Pausing for a moment, Ye Fan spoke in a low voice, "However, we still need to have someone keep an eye on the movements of those two siblings. If they dare to cause trouble again, they shouldn't blame me for being rude!"
"Understood, God Ye!" Lin Wu nodded his head.
After giving his instructions, Ye Fan turned to Su Ruoxue, who was visibly moved, and said, "Ruoxue, how does it feel to become the head of the Su family?"
"It feels surreal!" Su Ruoxue answered sincerely.
Back when Elder Master Su was alive, he fully supported her to become the head of the Su family, but at the time Old Lady Su was wholeheartedly supporting Su Tianhao, and Su Ruoxue merely harbored some distant dreams about the position.
Later on, after Elder Master Su became a vegetable due to a car accident, she lost the protection of Elder Master Su, and with Old Lady Su's line being so brazen, she was heavily suppressed. Su Ruoxue felt indignant, but she knew that the position of head of the Su family was getting further and further away from her.
Having suddenly become the family head of the Su family, Su Ruoxue still felt somewhat uncomfortable adjusting to her new role.
Gazing at Ye Fan, Su Ruoxue said with a moved expression, "Ye Fan, my becoming the family head of the Su family, all credit goes to you, thank you!"
A warm surge rose in her heart, for she knew that without Ye Fan's assistance, her becoming the Su family head would have been nearly impossible.
"You are my wife, helping you become the family head of the Su family is something I should do!" Ye Fan said with a gentle laugh.
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Su Ruoxue replied, "Thank you, really, thank you so much!"
"Alright, there's no need for formalities among family!"
With a tender look, Ye Fan said to Su Ruoxue, "The Su family is in ruins right now and needs you to rally the troops! With the elder master and Old Lady Su gone, what is your next move?"
"First, let's give Grandfather a proper burial. The deceased should be respected!" Su Ruoxue said with a heavy heart.
Ye Fan nodded and said, "Yeah! That's right! And what about Old Lady Su?"
"Let's lay her to rest as well," Su Ruoxue sighed.
Despite Old Lady Su's full support for Su Tianhao over the years, Su Ruoxue had never envisioned engaging in a life-and-death struggle with Old Lady Su.
Now that Old Lady Su had chosen suicide in her desperation, it caused Su Ruoxue considerable distress; she truly did not wish to see such a situation occur.
Ye Fan, knowing the kindness in Su Ruoxue's heart, ultimately nodded in agreement.
Quickly overcoming her grief, Su Ruoxue turned to Su Ze and said, "Uncle Su Ze!"
"Ruoxue, what is it?" Su Ze asked respectfully.
Su Ruoxue spoke earnestly, "The Su family is in need of rebuilding. Uncle Su Ze, you previously managed the family's production facilities. Now that those facilities have been destroyed in the fire, they need to be reconstructed. I hope you can take on this great responsibility to rebuild the industrial premises and serve as the factory director, specifically handling the production for the Su family!"
"What? Ruoxue, you want me to take charge of the factory's reconstruction?" Su Ze was shocked.
He had previously sided with Old Lady Su's faction, and Su Ze had never expected that Su Ruoxue, harboring no grudge for the past, would entrust him with the task of reconstructing the Su family's production facilities.
Su Ruoxue nodded and said, "Indeed! Although, Uncle Su Ze, you previously protected the interests of Su Tianhao and others, I cannot overlook your talents because of those actions. Rebuilding the Su family's production facilities and taking charge of the Su family's cosmetics production—it has to be you, Uncle Su Ze!"
"Thank you, Ruoxue, ah no, I mean to say thank you, family head, Su Ze accepts the command!"
Seeing that Su Ruoxue bore no grudge, Su Ze was touched to tears, feeling a strong impulse to die for a worthy cause.
"Uncle Su Daqiang, you were previously the deputy factory director. Now, I order you to assist Uncle Su Ze in rebuilding the factory!"
"Yes, Su Daqiang accepts the command!"
"Su Yi, I now promote you to be the Su Family's HR Department Director. Announce that the Su family is recruiting talented individuals, sparing no expense!"
"Yes, family head, Su Yi accepts the command!"
"Su Ling..."
After becoming the family head of the Su family, Su Ruoxue did not dismiss those who had previously sided with Old Lady Su and others; she forgave everyone and allocated each person to various positions within the Su family according to their talent, which quickly revitalized the once fragmented Su family.
Especially the legitimate line of the Su family, who had not been optimistic about Su Ruoxue, now wholeheartedly acknowledged and revered her.
Unseen to others, Su Ruoxue suddenly won the hearts of the Su family members.
"Indeed, my Ruoxue, after becoming the family head, you have exercised both grace and authority effectively; your performance is indeed good!" Ye Fan, standing not too far away, was all smiles.
He knew Su Ruoxue was talented and believed that given a larger platform, she would undoubtedly make a remarkable impression.
Having seen Su Ruoxue's capabilities and determination, Ye Fan was at ease.
Stroking his chin, Ye Fan said with a mischievous smile, "The internal affairs of the Su family have been settled. Now, there are a few small fry outside that need to be dealt with. Some have dared to openly oppose me while I was imprisoned, so it's time for them to completely vanish from the Central Plains!"
