Chapter 261: The Stock Market Decline

The news of Wen Tong's imprisonment spread like wildfire. Su Rou also learned about it from the news at home. And then another piece of news came on. Wen Haotian announced in front of many reporters and media that he had no relation with Wen Tong at all. He said it so resolutely, as if he had never hesitated for a moment.

Well, it made sense. Wen Haotian had even given up on Su Rou. How could he care about Wen Tong, who was just a good-for-nothing all day long?

"What news are you watching?" Su Yuze walked over, sat down next to Su Rou, and then habitually pulled her into his arms. "Oh, Wen Tong is already in prison. It's much slower than I expected."

"It's only the fourth day since this happened and she's already in prison. You still think it's slow?"

"Well... I thought that, given Wen Haotian's character, he would immediately sever the father - daughter relationship with Wen Tong as soon as he learned about this." It seemed that Wen Haotian still had a bit of humanity. At least, he had paid so many dollars for Wen Tong.

Su Rou leaned in his arms. "Did you guess that Wen Haotian would do this?"

"Nine times out of ten."

"Ha, actually I also vaguely guessed it. But when I saw the truth, I still felt that Wen Tong was quite pitiful." Su Rou said. "Actually, Wen Tong is the most pitiful one in the Wen family. She probably will never know that her birth was also for Wen Haotian."

It was just that Wen Tong was lucky. Her blood type didn't match Wen Haotian's. But having been born as a potential matching donor, she had already lost the meaning of life in Wen Haotian's heart.

Su Yuze hugged Su Rou even tighter. "In a way, I should thank Yao Yu." If it weren't for Yao Yu's daring to abandon Su Rou in order to let her survive, Su Yuze might still be all alone by now.

"Yeah, you can thank her. I don't want to." If she had been abandoned in a better place, she wouldn't have suffered from frostbite.

"What? You don't want to meet me, right?" Su Yuze joked.

"No..." Su Rou glanced at him. He knew very well that she didn't mean that.

"Heh." Su Yuze gave a soft laugh. "What you just said has caused great harm to my soul. I need a loving kiss from you." With that, he stretched out his long finger and pointed at his thin lips.

Su Rou didn't move, and Su Yuze kept his gesture. Later, Su Rou reluctantly leaned over and kissed him.

"It's too perfunctory. Do it again."

"You're going too far."

"You're starting to dislike me?"

"No..."

So Su Rou kissed him seriously again. In the end, she was still caught by Su Yuze and kissed passionately. Until Su Rou was almost out of breath, he reluctantly let her go. He gently rubbed her lips with his thumb. "I'm hungry."

Su Rou could tell what the desire flickering in his eyes meant. It was normal for lovers to be intimate, but they also had to pay attention to the time and occasion, right? They were intimate every night, and now he was acting like this in broad daylight.

Su Rou pushed him away, sat up straight, leaned against the back seat, and watched the TV on her own.

Su Yuze touched his nose. Well, he'd talk about it at night... "Xiaorour, go to school tomorrow."

"But didn't you say that Wen Haotian is still looking for me? If he finds me and threatens you again..." Su Rou also wanted to go to school, but it was said that Wen Haotian was still reluctant to give up on her. He insisted on getting her liver. He was really so persistent. Just thinking about it made her feel disgusted!

"No. He should be too busy to look for you now." A glint of light flashed across Su Yuze's eyes. After the 50 - million - dollar incident, Wen Haotian should start to check the total assets of his company. He was really looking forward to Wen Haotian's expression when he found that the total assets had been decreasing.

More importantly, Su Yuze didn't want Su Rou to stay at home all day. She was still so young and should socialize with her peers more. He would still let her enjoy her youth as before. All he had to do was to accompany her.

"If you think it's okay, I'll go. I still don't want to be a burden to you." She was just an ordinary girl without any special training. If she was accidentally caught by Wen Haotian, it would be a big problem.

"Yeah, it's okay."

"Okay."

The next day

Su Yuze drove Su Rou to the University of Washington and handed her a new mobile phone. "Here, for you."

"Okay, bye."

"If you don't want to attend classes, you can come to the company to find me." Su Yuze said.

"Okay."

It had been ten days since Su Rou last attended classes. There was no sign of Jiang Ling in the classroom. She probably had gone to attend her own classes. Without Wen Haotian's spy around, this was the first time Su Rou had such a relaxing class.

...

After giving out 50 million dollars, Wen Haotian had very little personal property left. But his Wen Group was still there. As long as he worked hard for another year, the money would come back.

"Mr. Wen, the stock we bought recently has been very volatile. It dropped several points the day before yesterday, and we've lost nearly 100 million." The assistant reported the latest situation, with a hint of nervousness in his tone. Although the stock market was always so volatile, such a huge loss all at once was really rare. If this continued... would they still get their salary this month?

"What?" Wen Haotian was obviously a bit surprised. How could this happen? Was it true that when one was unlucky, even drinking cold water could choke? "What's going on?"

"I'm not sure, but it seems that only the stocks we bought are falling. Other people's stocks are fine..." Since it was the company's own stocks, the assistant was extremely anxious.

"Not sure? You just brush me off with a 'not sure'?"

"Ah... no." This incident had happened so suddenly. As soon as he learned about it, he had come to report immediately. He hadn't had the time to find out the reason. He was almost scared to death!

Wen Haotian immediately turned on the computer and typed a few times on the keyboard. Looking at the volatile stock market, the stocks bought by Shengshi Company were at the top... Shengshi! Wen Haotian frowned. "You can go first."

"This... Mr. Wen..." Actually, what he wanted to ask was whether the Wen Group was going to go bankrupt. After all, Wen Haotian himself had already lost 50 million dollars!

"I said get out!"

"Yes..."

Wen Haotian pondered for a while and let out a long breath. These days, he had been so busy with Wen Tong's affairs that he had no time to take care of the company. He didn't know how long the stock market had been like this. If he couldn't turn the situation around, he would end up bankrupt sooner or later!

Shengshi... Could it be that Su Yuze was behind all this?
