Volume One, Chapter Eight: The Surprising Fiancée of President Meng Is None Other Than Her!
Page (1/3)
Suddenly, her phone rang—it was Assistant Wu from headquarters.
“Su Wan, after President Meng signs the contract, please take it to the airport and hand it to General Manager Zhou.”
“Okay, got it.”
Su Wan changed her clothes and followed the address on her phone.
This was an upscale clubhouse, inaccessible to ordinary people.
Assistant Wu personally escorted her inside.
“President Meng was just changing clothes. I’ll bring the contract to him for signing right away. I have to stay later to help at the engagement party, so I’ll have to trouble you for this.”
“No problem, it’s my duty.”
Suddenly, she remembered something. “Who is President Meng’s fiancée?”
Assistant Wu was momentarily stunned. “Oh, you didn’t know? Her surname is Su. Actually, the same as yours.”
Su Wan’s palm tightened.
Could her suspicion really be true?
The one getting engaged to Meng Yanli… was really Su Mei?
“President Meng’s fiancée is called…”
Before Assistant Wu could finish, someone grabbed Su Wan’s wrist, angrily demanding, “Why are you here?”
It was none other than her eldest brother, Su Zhiwen!
At that moment, Su Wan’s doubts were confirmed: Su Mei’s intended groom was indeed Meng Yanli!
She said coldly, “Why can’t I come? Are you hiding something from me that you’re so afraid I’ll show up?”
She shook off her brother’s hand and said to Assistant Wu, “Let’s go find President Meng.”
She had already guessed the truth: her stepmother must have let her daughter take credit for the rescue to win favor, and Meng Yanli, impressed by this, had decided to marry her.
That was why they had hidden things from Su Wan all this time, fearing she would ruin their good fortune.
“Su Wan, what are you trying to do?” Su Zhiwen suddenly grew tense.
Their sister’s marriage was a major affair for the family; they absolutely could not let this troublesome girl ruin it!
But with others around Su Wan, Su Zhiwen dared not act rashly.
He turned to Assistant Wu and said, “I need to talk to my sister alone. Please give us some privacy.”
“Oh, okay…” Assistant Wu finally understood.
So Su Wan and President Meng’s fiancée were actually from the same family!
Su Zhiwen pulled her aside to a secure passage.
He said sternly, “Su Wan, are you here to sabotage our younger sister’s engagement?”
Su Wan replied coldly, “Why are you worried about that? Is it because the man Su Mei is marrying has something to do with me, so you’re feeling guilty?”
Su Zhiwen snorted coldly. “Fine, I won’t hide it anymore. Our younger sister is indeed marrying the wealthiest man in Beijing, Meng Yanli. But this has nothing to do with the rescue—you should know she won their favor on her own merits!”
“Hmph, if that’s the case, then why are you so nervous?” Su Wan laughed bitterly.
Even a fool could see that if Su Mei hadn’t taken credit for the rescue, the Meng family wouldn’t have noticed her.
“Su Wan, don’t get any ideas!” Su Zhiwen was suddenly enraged. “If you dare to ruin this marriage, no one in the family will forgive you!”
Once their sister married into such a wealthy family, their father’s company could expand—and as the heir, everything would be his.
Su Wan said calmly, “Don’t worry. Although your methods disgust me, I won’t destroy this.”
If Meng Yanli was willing to marry Su Mei, it meant he liked her.

Why should she make things miserable for herself?
Besides, she didn’t want the Su sisters to be remembered as those who tore each other apart just to marry into wealth—that would be shameful.
“Oh, in that case, just leave quickly!” Su Zhiwen pointed to the stairs. “Don’t take the elevator—use the stairs.”
Su Wan frowned. “I came to get the contract from President Meng.”
She forcefully shook off his grip and opened the door.
Suddenly, their father, Su Minyuan, appeared.
“Dad, stop her! She wants to ruin our younger sister’s engagement!”
“I’m not—” Su Wan tried to explain, but her father suddenly slapped her hard!
She staggered from the blow.
Holding her burning cheek, tears welled up. “Dad, why don’t you ever listen to me? Why won’t you believe me? I never wanted to ruin Su Mei’s engagement!”
Her father sneered coldly. “How can I believe you? If you didn’t have those intentions, why would you suddenly come here?”
“I’m here to work! I was getting the contract from President Meng—the client is still waiting…”
She tried to rush out.
“Zhiwen, tie her up!” Su Minyuan shouted.
“All right, Dad.”
Su Zhiwen tore off his tie.
Su Wan shouted, “What are you doing?”
Her father stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth!
Su Wan looked at her father in disbelief.
Why? Why was he doing this to her?
She was his own daughter!
Her phone rang.
Her brother found it in her bag and cut the call.
He roughly dragged Su Wan to the garage and forced her into the car.
“Stay here and don’t cause trouble, or I won’t forgive you!”
Then he strode away.
Being treated so harshly by her own family, Su Wan felt deeply hurt.
Besides sorrow, she was anxious.
She worried she wouldn’t be able to complete the task President Meng had assigned.
Calming herself, she tried to save herself.
She rubbed her face against the front seat repeatedly, finally dislodging the handkerchief.
Then, struggling, she bit open the knot of the tie.
She opened the car door and hurried upstairs.
Her phone had been confiscated, so she had to find Assistant Wu directly.
Unexpectedly, by accident, she arrived at the room where Meng Yanli was.
He had already changed, and the stylist was doing his hair.
Seeing her, Meng Yanli stood, a bit surprised. “Why are you here?”
For a moment, Su Wan was taken aback.

The man before her wore a tailored black suit, his hair slicked back meticulously, highlighting his already handsome features.
Tall and slender, he exuded a restrained, forbidding charm.
Such a man was going to marry someone like Su Mei, whose intentions were far from pure?
For a fleeting moment, Su Wan almost said the truth.
But in the end, she gave up.
If she told him, whether he believed her or not, it would truly sever her ties with that family.
“President Meng, Assistant Wu asked me to get the contract…”
“The client sent someone to pick it up themselves. Didn’t Assistant Wu tell you?”
“Oh, I see. Then it’s fine…”
She couldn’t mention her phone had been confiscated.
“Well then, President Meng, I’ll leave first.”
“Wait…” Meng Yanli suddenly called after her.
“Yes, President Meng? What do you need?”
Meng Yanli waved the stylist away. “You may leave.”
After the stylist left, Meng Yanli approached her.
He leaned in slightly.
A faint scent of tobacco mixed with cologne wafted over, making Su Wan’s heart inexplicably race.
His deep eyes locked onto her delicate face, darkening slightly.
“What happened to your face?”
Su Wan’s skin was naturally fair, but the slap from her father had swollen one side of her cheek.
She instinctively touched it and whispered, “It’s nothing, I accidentally brushed against the wall.”
Meng Yanli frowned lightly.
He suddenly remembered the injury on her forehead from before.
“I warned you before—as my assistant, you must always maintain your image. You should be more careful when walking, paying attention to your surroundings…”
Looking at this seemingly quiet and clever girl, why did she always get into trouble?
“Sorry, President Meng. I’ll be more careful next time.”
Though she had been reprimanded, she could hear the concern in his tone.
So she felt grateful.
Her boss may be eccentric, but he was a good person.
Because of this, she was even less willing to sabotage the engagement ceremony.
Su Mei’s character might be questionable, but she was attractive, so it wasn’t surprising that President Meng liked her.
Though she was angry at being deceived, now that things had come this far, all she could do was wish them well.
“President Meng, I’ll leave now. I wish you a happy engagement…”
Just as she finished speaking, someone pushed the door open.
“Yanli, the engagement ceremony is about to start…”
Seeing her, Zhao Lan’s smiling face instantly froze!
