Chapter 34 Ulterior Motives
“You want to supply herbs to the hospitals of the city?” Yang Yulan frowned.
She did not expect Su Beishan to make such an ambitious request.
“That’s right, Aunt Yulan.”
“We are not greedy. It is enough that you give us the right to supply all herbal medicine to these local hospitals in Stillwater.”
“If you think it's too small and you can give me an extra share of the medical equipment supplies, that would be great.”
“Aunt Yulan, we’ve got you something.”
As he spoke, Su Wencheng opened a package full of money.
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Yang Yulan’s expression turned solemn.
Su Beishan said cheerfully, “Yulan, we all know the rules.”
“As they said, we should keep the goodies within the family. Here’s 200 thousand and it’s nothing.”
“After the contract is drawn up, I can pay you a regular dividend. What do you say?”
“You've got the wrong person!” Yang Yulan jumped to her feet and said with a serious expression, “You can have your money back. I'm not that kind of person!”
“I am indebted to the leadership of the board for giving me such an important job. How can I use my public office for private gain?”
“All purchases will be open to tender on the official website. If you want to supply, just follow the tender information.”
“Now, please get out of here.”
Su Wencheng and Su Beishan did not expect Yang Yulan to refuse. It looked like they had kissed the wrong ass.
Qin Tian sneered, “Do you hear that? She told you to leave.”
“Are you gonna leave on your own or are you gonna let me do it?”
Su Beishan and Su Wencheng shivered at the same time. They were afraid of Qin Tian.
They were in a dilemma when Su Su said angrily, “Qin Tian, I need you to shut up!”
“Who are you to talk to my grandfather and brother like that?”
“Mom, Grandpa was wrong to give you the money, but he meant well.”
“I think we're all family, and you should still help them out.”
“Have you forgotten how my dad died? He sacrificed himself for the family.”
“Now, the Su family is in trouble, and how do you think my dad would feel if he knew that?”
Su Beishan and Su Wencheng also hurried to use the late Su Yutang as an excuse to beg.
Yang Yulan was in a state of confusion, and she covered her mouth and said, “Stop it! Please stop saying that!”
“I can give you a certain share, but I want the best price and quality!”
“If you can't do that, I will immediately revoke your supplier status!”
Su Beishan and Su Wencheng were very happy and left in high spirits.
Before they left, they asked Su Su to visit them tomorrow and Su Su agreed.
Qin Tian sighed inwardly. His mother-in-law was still too soft-hearted to be in charge of procurement.
As for Su Su, Qin Tian felt more helpless.
Now Su Su wanted to return to her family, and she regard him as an outsider thoroughly.
“Mom, you did the right thing. I'm sure Grandpa and Wen Cheng won't do anything harmful to us.”
“After all, we are family.”
Su Su looked at Qin Tian and said impatiently, “You need to put away the dishes and clean up!”
“Take me to Grandpa's tomorrow. After several years of absence, I want to spend more time with my family!
Qin Tian hesitated for a moment and agreed.
If this could make Su Su happy and could help her recovery, then he was willing to.
It was a mere Su family. If they were to turn over a new leaf, he would consider it charity.
And if they dared to try any more tricks, he would do something about it and they would be damned!
So the next day, after Yang Yulan went to work, Qin Tian pushed Su Su to the Su family again.
“Oh, Su Su! You are recovered!”
“Lady Su, we have been feeling sorry for you for five years!”
“Come here, sweetie. Come here to me.”
“Su Su, you used to love this cake. I sent someone to buy one early in the morning. Try it.”
“Su Su, I wish you can stand up as soon as possible!”
Being surrounded by her family and by a variety of affectionate and sweet words, Su Su was radiant with joy.
Because of the lack of the memory of the past five years, when she just woke up, she felt she had been abandoned by the world and had become an orphan.
Now, at last, she found that warmth again.
She believed that she had made the right choice. She believed that her family were her family forever.
As for Qin Tian, he had long been neglected by her.
But he couldn’t complain about it because he saw how happy Su Su was.
“Su Su, now you have recovered and come back again.”
“I’m so sorry that you have to be with this good-for-nothing man, who is capable of nothing except for cheating and bullying.”
“Things had changed in this new era. People like him are just bastards!”
“If you two get divorced, I'll set you up with a gentleman.”
“I promise he will have a good character and talent!”
Su Su saw Qin Tian outside the crowd, who was neglected by her, and she smiled reluctantly. “Don't worry about this right now, aunt.”
“We'll talk about this later.”
However, at the same time, the core figures of the Su family, Su Beishan, Su Yukun, and Su Wencheng, were secretly making a plan.
All Yang Yulan gave them was just the right to supply herbs to a hospital. Although they could make a lot of money through it, it was not enough for them.
They were taking over the supply of the entire city. Moreover, in addition to herbal medicine, they hoped to get a share in the medical equipment business.
To achieve this, they had two ways.
First, they could be deeply tied with Yang Yulan, so Yang Yulan had to put more orders in their hands.
Or, if the first one didn’t work out, they would try to destroy Yang Yulan and put someone they trusted in charge.
“Su Su, this jade Ruyi is my favorite. Now I want you to take it.”
“I want you to be happy. And that will also make me happy.” Su Beishan gave Su Su a piece of jade, which he had treasured himself.
“Sis, I remember when your father was alive, he was a watch collector. I want you to keep this Rolex Submariner for him.”
“As his nephew, I will always miss him.” Although he was very reluctant, Su Wencheng still gave her a watch worth more than $100,00.”
Su Nan was even more generous. He sent Su Su a necklace worth more than one hundred thousand yuan.
Su Su, immersed in the love and care of her relatives, received them all.
She then asked Qin Tian to send her here almost every day to reunite with her family.
Sometimes, when she felt that Qin Tian was in the way, she would drive Qin Tian away fiercely, so as not to affect her and her relatives' mood.
“Su Su, listen to me. These people must be up to no good.”
“They're just trying to curry favor with you because they want more favors from your mother.” Qin Tian told her earnestly.
However, Su Su wouldn’t listen. She even felt that Qin Tian had ulterior motives for driving a wedge between her and her people.
