Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Making a Bet

"What? Su Ruoxue can take down the Tianba Group?"

Once these words were spoken, a group of people inside the Su Family became visibly astounded.

Tianba Group is indeed a leading domestic cosmetics company, and for the past six months, countless Su Family members had tried to make contact with the Tianba Group, only to return empty-handed.

Each of them knew all too well how difficult it was to take down the Tianba Group; they had never imagined that at this time, Ye Fan would claim Su Ruoxue could succeed in this endeavor.

"Ye Fan!" Su Ruoxue hurriedly tried to stop him.

Ye Fan looked at Su Ruoxue with a gentle smile and said softly, "Ruoxue, it's okay, leave it to me!"

Seeing Ye Fan's tender gaze and serious demeanor, Su Ruoxue felt an immense sense of reassurance, as if she had taken a calming pill.

"Ridiculous! Even I can't take down the Tianba Group, and Su Ruoxue can? Ye Fan, are you making an international joke?"

Su Tianhao, utterly incredulous, continued to mock, "Are you planning to make Su Ruoxue spread her legs to satisfy Young Master Li? Hahahaha..."

"Watch your mouth!" Ye Fan's eyes went cold.

Feeling the chill in Ye Fan's eyes, he quickly wiped the smirk off his face, afraid that Ye Fan might lose it and strike him again.

Once Su Tianhao had silenced himself, Ye Fan sneered and said, "The old saying goes, 'Sima Zhao's heart is known to all.' Grandma, it's no secret within the Su Family that you wholeheartedly wish to support Su Tianhao to take over the family."

"Moreover, the old man is only seriously ill, not dead. Your hasty dismissal of Ruoxue—if the old man knew, he might be furious, right? Even if you force her out, you'll likely face resistance from others!"

On hearing this, Old Lady Su's eyes narrowed, and her expression darkened significantly.

Ye Fan was right, she did indeed wholeheartedly cultivate Su Tianhao, wanting him to be in charge of the Su Family, and all the members knew it.

And since her husband was not dead but only seriously ill, if she stubbornly removed Su Ruoxue and her husband got wind of it, unnecessary disputes would certainly arise.

"Ye Fan, what do you propose?" Old Lady Su asked with an icy voice.

Ye Fan let out a cold laugh, "Simple. You want to cooperate with the Tianba Group, don't you? Thus far, nobody in the Su Family has made any breakthrough!"

"If by tomorrow noon, my Ruoxue successfully takes down the Tianba Group, it will sufficiently demonstrate that Ruoxue's abilities surpass those of Su Tianhao. When that time comes, let Su Tianhao step down from the general manager position and apologize to Ruoxue for his behavior!"

"Make Tianhao give up his position as general manager?" Old Lady Su frowned.

Currently, she was the chairperson of Su Corporation, with the general manager under her. At seventy, she was old and struggling to keep up with her energy.

Therefore, all the company's affairs were managed by the general manager. If Su Ruoxue managed to take down the Tianba Group by tomorrow and assumed the role of general manager, she would be able to wield significant power within the Su Family, making it exceedingly difficult to outcast her.

Ye Fan taunted, "What's the matter? Grandma, don't you dare?"

"Who says I don't dare?"

Su Tianhao smirked, looking at Old Lady Su, he said, "Grandma, I agree!"

"What? Tianhao, you agreed?" Old Lady Su was taken aback.

Su Tianhao solemnly said, "Yes, Grandma, I agree! And I promise, if I can't take down the Tianba Group by tomorrow noon, I will resign from the general manager position!"

"Tianhao, are you certain?" Old Lady Su asked gravely.

Su Tianhao nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma. Otherwise, how can I prove myself? Even if I later take the head of the Su Family, there will probably be people who won't accept me."

"Good!" Old Lady Su was quite pleased.

She understood Su Tianhao's nature; if he wasn't absolutely confident, he would never make such a statement.

Little did she know that for the past six months, Su Tianhao had been entertaining Li Shihao, the son of Tianba Group's chairman.

Li Shihao is a typical playboy with no interest in inheriting the Tianba Group. His only passion is playing with women.

To satisfy Li Shihao, Su Tianhao had spent a fortune securing countless exquisite women over the past six months.

Now, Li Shihao was completely in his pocket, so if Su Tianhao desired cooperation, it was merely a matter of giving Li Shihao a heads-up.

With Ye Fan stepping forward to protect Su Ruoxue, this was the perfect opportunity for him to agree and showcase his unmatched capabilities.

Su Tianhao looked at Ye Fan and said, "You heard what I just said. If I can't handle Tianba Group, I will resign from the position of general manager! What will you do if you can't manage it?"

"If we can't manage it, Ruo Xue will leave the corporation," Ye Fan replied directly.

Although Tianba Group was a behemoth in the domestic cosmetic industry, Ye Fan wasn't someone to mess with.

Especially now that Ye Fan had regained his memory, taking down Tianba Group would be a piece of cake for him.

Su Ruo Xue didn't stop Ye Fan because she knew that Old Madam Su and Su Tianhao were determined to drive her out of the Su Family

It was better to fight with all one's might than to be passively expelled.

Su Tianhao sneered, "That's not enough. Today, you hit me, you also need to apologize to me!"

"Fine!" Ye Fan shrugged indifferently.

Seeing this, Su Tianhao's face was teasing, "That's too boring. How about we make it more interesting?"

"What do you have in mind?" Ye Fan asked with a cold smile.

Su Tianhao grinned maliciously, "How about the loser kowtows three times to the victor at noon tomorrow?"

He had already successfully made contact with Li Shihao, the son of the chairman of Tianba Group. Su Tianhao believed he was in an invincible position and saw this as an opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Ye Fan.

"Kowtow three times? I'm more than happy to oblige! What if you lose and refuse to kowtow?"

Seeing Su Tianhao hell-bent on his own demise, an intriguing smile appeared on Ye Fan's face.

"If I lose and don't kowtow to you, then I wish death upon my grandfathers, grandmothers, fathers, mothers, and my entire family dies out!" Su Tianhao declared arrogantly.

"Good, very good!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan looked at Old Lady Su with a playful expression, "Grandma, would you please be our witness?"

"I shall be the witness!" Old Lady Su said with a stern face.

"Then, we will not stay for the birthday banquet. I wish grandma a happy birthday!"

Having said that, Ye Fan turned to Su Ruoxue and Ling'er, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

The young girl felt too oppressed here. As soon as Ye Fan spoke up, she quickly grabbed Su Ruoxue's hand and headed towards the exit of the Su residence.

Watching Ye Fan and his family of three leave, Old Lady Su's face was so gloomy that it looked like it could drip water.

"Tianhao, are you confident in taking down Tianba Group?" Old Lady Su asked.

Su Tianhao chuckled, "Grandma, rest assured, I've already taken care of Li Shihao, the young master of Tianba Group. Taking down Tianba Group is just a nod away for me!"

"Then I am relieved!" Old Lady Su nodded with satisfaction.

After leaving the Su residence, Ye Fan looked at Su Ruoxue with tenderness, "Ling'er is still weak, Ruoxue, take her back to the Warzone Hospital to recuperate first!" Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What about you?" Su Ruoxue asked.

Ye Fan smiled, "I'm going to make a trip to Tianba Group!"

"Are you… do you have confidence?" Su Ruoxue sighed lightly.

Ye Fan smiled again, "Let's try and see!"

At that moment, Ye Fan's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He had lost his memory for six years, and during those six years, he had caused Su Ruoxue much suffering.

But now it was different. Ye Fan had recovered all his memories and had officially returned as the king.

Ruoxue, as long as I'm here, no one in this world will dare to bully you again.

If you wish it, I could make the entire Su Family bow before you.
