Chapter 85 Su Su's First Meeting with Her
After Su Yan left, Yun Juan walked gracefully towards Su Su's location, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing on her lips.
"Miss Su, did you ask for my permission before staging this play in my shop?" Yun Juan looked at her sharply, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate her body and reach the depths of her soul!
Caught off guard, Su Su's face flushed with embarrassment and shame. She stammered, "I'm sorry, Miss Yun! I... I was forced into this situation! My current predicament in the Su residence... is truly unbearable!"
Yun Juan understood her situation, but she was a little unhappy that others were delaying her from doing business and making money!
Su Su also sensed the coldness on Yun Juan's face. She had also heard the old women in the manor talk about Yun Juan's deeds!
So she inquired around and finally came up with the idea of performing such a play at Yun Quan Lai's Ni Chang Pavilion!
In the meantime, let the people know that her situation in the Su family is precarious, and that the concubine is in charge, while she, the legitimate daughter, is suppressed under the concubine's daughter and is not even as good as a servant!
This way, he could get close to Yun Juan and also gain the sympathy of the people!
Her plan to kill two birds with one stone was so ingenious that even Yun Juan admired her quick wit!
Perhaps realizing that the girl in front of her meant her no harm, she felt that she might have been a little too harsh in her words, so she changed her tone!
"I can understand your difficulties, but that's not a reason for you to break my rules at will." Yun Juan's tone was cold, showing no sign of softening despite Su Su's explanation.
Su Su's face turned even paler. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and said softly, "I understand, Miss Yun. I'm sorry... for causing you trouble."
Looking at Su Su's pitiful appearance, Yun Quan couldn't help but feel a pang of pity, but she quickly suppressed that emotion.
"I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time, don't blame me for being impolite." Yun Juan finished speaking and turned to leave.
Su Su stood there, silently watching Yun Juan's retreating figure, her heart filled with complex emotions.
She knew that her position in the Su family was already precarious. If she couldn't find a way out of this predicament, she would probably face something a hundred times more cruel than what she was facing now, and she might really have no place to stand...
After the commotion, the shop quieted down, leaving only a few shop assistants, including Bai Yulan.
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Su knelt directly before Yun Juan, her eyes filled with urgency and expectation, and said in a trembling voice, "Please, Miss Yun, show me the way!"
Her gaze was fixed on Yun Juan, as if she had placed all her hopes on him.
The old woman had once told her that Yun Quan might be able to save her from her predicament.
Su Su was absolutely certain of this.
In her heart, Yun Juan was the only person who could help her get out of her predicament and regain her freedom.
Therefore, she knelt down without hesitation, expressing her absolute trust and dependence on Yun Juan.
Yun Juan was startled by Su Su's action; she never expected Su Su to suddenly kneel down.
The people around were stunned, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Bai Yulan reacted swiftly and quickly. Seeing Su Su suddenly kneel down, she swiftly closed the shop door in one smooth motion without the slightest hesitation.
Fortunately, she acted quickly enough to prevent people on the street from seeing what happened.
Otherwise, this matter will probably become the talk of the town tomorrow.
Who knows what kind of rumors will spread about it then?
"What are you doing? Get up!" Yun Juan quickly reached out to help Su Su up.
However, Su Su shook her head firmly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Miss Yun, please save me! If you don't agree, I won't get up!"
Yun Juan looked troubled. She had only intended to teach Su Su a lesson and had no intention of helping her.
But seeing Su Su's resolute attitude, he felt a little reluctant.
"Get up first, we can solve any difficulties together," Yun Juan said softly.
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Su Su's heart, and she slowly stood up. She gave Yun Quan a grateful look.
Yun Juan couldn't help but feel curious. She raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone tinged with doubt and a hint of mockery: "Oh? And what makes you think I can help you? After all, I'm just an insignificant young lady from the Prime Minister's manor, who just returned from the estate!"
After saying that, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes.
Su Su hesitated for a long time before repeating the old woman's words again: "Do you remember the first day you returned to the Prime Minister's residence?"
Yun Juan frowned slightly, seemingly trying to recall the events of that day, but as if deliberately stalling for time, she finally spoke slowly after a long while: "So many things happened that day, I can't remember them all at once... Hmm... Let me think!"
As she spoke, she gently tapped her forehead with her hand, as if she were really trying hard to remember.
Seeing this, Su Su said anxiously, "It was the first day you returned to the Prime Minister's residence. Nobody there took you seriously, and they didn't even open the door. That day, you were so powerful and domineering that you blew the door open with a hidden weapon."
Su Su's eyes revealed an expression of admiration as she spoke!
Yun Juan certainly remembered that day. That day, Aunt Hua in the mansion tried to give her a hard time, but she was a modern woman of the 21st century and naturally wouldn't fall for that kind of thing in the inner quarters!
What else can we do if we don't let her open the door or blow it up? We can't exactly let her climb the wall, can we? That would be too much work!
Hearing this, Yun Juan roughly understood the cause of the matter. She looked at Su Su with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
"So what?" Yun Juan wondered, "Could it be that he gained a little fangirl back then?"
Su Su nodded repeatedly, “Miss Yun, it was that day! It was that day! I couldn’t get into the Su residence with my personal nanny! It was because Su Yan said that my father asked me to buy tea from Cui Lan Ju in the west of the city for him! When my nanny and I returned, the Su residence gate was tightly closed, and no matter how much my nanny and I knocked, no one answered.”
Su Su recalled what happened that day, her heart filled with pain and self-blame.
At that time, she could only watch helplessly as she and the nanny who had taken care of her since childhood were bullied.
She remembered Su Yan's arrogant and domineering manner, and a fire of anger ignited in her heart.
She recalled her past weakness and helplessness, and couldn't help but grit her teeth, clench her fists tightly, and dig her nails deep into her palms.
How could she not hate? She even knew that her mother's death was not an accident, but she couldn't change it!
