Love You Till the End Chapter 1130 - 1138: The Sun Family Goes Bankrupt

Su Jiuyi, aware of the disadvantage of numbers, had no intention of fleeing. Had she truly desired to escape, she wouldn't have tarried until this moment. Thus, she resolved to remain put.

Returning to her chambers, she initiated a call to Qi Jingren. Her initial intent was a casual chat, but Qi Jingren informed her she was en route back to the President’s Mansion and it was an inopportune time for conversation.

Su Jiuyi expressed her understanding and concluded the call.

An afternoon of tedium followed as she occupied herself by organizing the contents of her wardrobe.

Zhao Shuya's card game concluded, and Su Zhenxiong arrived home at six o’clock, his demeanor suggesting recent hurried events.

"What troubles you?"

The instant Su Zhenxiong entered, Zhao Shuya perceived an anomaly in his bearing and promptly approached him to inquire.

Su Zhenxiong irritably removed his coat. Observing this, Zhao Shuya swiftly reached out to accept it and reiterated her question, "What is truly amiss?"

Su Zhenxiong settled onto the sofa and lit a cigarette. He remained reticent, leaving Zhao Shuya in a state of anxious anticipation at his side.

After an immeasurable interval, his voice finally broke the silence, "The Sun Family has met with bankruptcy."

"What?" Zhao Shuya gazed at him, utter disbelief etched on her face. "Did you state the Sun Family is bankrupt?"

"Indeed," Su Zhenxiong confirmed. "It transpired around eleven this morning. The news has circulated widely, yet I have only just been apprised."

"Heavens! How could such a calamity befall them!" Zhao Shuya sank onto a seat, her strength seemingly depleted. "If we maintain our association with the Sun Family, our own household could be pulled into their downfall. Yet, if we sever ties, what if they stage a miraculous recovery in the future?"

Zhao Shuya’s pronouncement echoed the very anxieties tormenting Su Zhenxiong. In the tumultuous arena of commerce, smooth progress is a rarity; fortunes are often lost overnight, only to be rebuilt from dust the next dawn.

Though the Sun Family now faces insolvency, no assurance exists that they cannot rise again. Consequently, Su Zhenxiong found himself in a state of profound indecision regarding the continuation of the marital alliance with the Sun Family.

"No, no, no. I maintain it is wisest to cease all contact with the Sun Family. Consider it: their bankruptcy must surely entail overwhelming debts. Should Su Jiuyi wed into their lineage, those creditors will undoubtedly target us. Why invite such misfortune upon ourselves?"

Zhao Shuya, driven by timidity and a keen sense of financial preservation, viewed the Sun Family as having lost all residual value. Thus, she advocated for an immediate severance of relations.

Su Zhenxiong, while not easily intimidated or prone to shying away from conflict, actively disliked drawing trouble to himself or becoming entangled in others' predicaments. He conceded that Zhao Shuya’s reasoning held merit. Following a period of careful deliberation, he reached a conclusion.

"Contact the Sun Family and make inquiries regarding their circumstances. Simply convey that we are aware of their predicament and offer any assistance we might feasibly provide. Our immediate priority is to devise a viable strategy. As for the marriage, let us defer it and re-evaluate once the situation stabilizes," Su Zhenxiong dictated.

Adhering to Su Zhenxiong’s directive, Zhao Shuya placed a call to the Sun Family. To her astonishment, the moment the call was received, a torrent of vitriol erupted: "Your Su Family brings naught but ill fortune! We hadn't even formalized the engagement, and our family collapsed! If she truly marries into our line, there will soon be no one left to continue our legacy! Beep—"

Zhao Shuya was utterly speechless, unable to utter a single word before the line abruptly disconnected. She remained frozen for a moment before regaining her composure and turning to Su Zhenxiong, "What exactly is happening here?"
