You Choose an Adopted Son, I Choose Madness - Chapter 49:

Chapter 49: The Good Girl Who Smokes, Drinks, and Sleeps Around

Soon, it was 3 p.m.

The grand Su family business gathering officially began.

Everyone attending this event was an influential figure in Hai City’s business world.

Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanan stood at the entrance with Su Lili, Su Qiqi, and Su Mu, personally welcoming each guest.

Although Su Chen was also attending the gathering, he couldn’t be bothered to put on a show with them at the entrance. Instead, he lounged on a sofa inside, playing on his phone.

“Chairman Su, these must be your three children. What outstanding young talents!”

“President Zhao, you flatter me. Your children are also remarkable young elites.”

“Haha, you’re too kind!”

…

About five minutes later, a plump old man with shrewd, cunning eyes arrived with a young girl.

Su Zhenxing immediately greeted him with even greater enthusiasm, along with Liu Yanan and the children.

This old man was none other than Wang Hai, the founder of Tian Di Hai, a top-tier enterprise in Hai City. Though its market value was slightly lower than the Su family’s, it was still a formidable presence.

The Su and Wang families had long considered a business alliance through marriage, believing that a union would strengthen both families.

The intended match was between Su Mu and Wang Yiyi, the girl Wang Hai had brought along.

This was why the Su family treated them with such warmth.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Yiyi’s gaze fell upon Su Chen, who was still seated on the sofa, and her expression darkened with disgust.

“Why is that piece of trash at this business gathering?!”

“This is such an important event! What right does that garbage have to be here?!”

Yes, Wang Yiyi despised Su Chen.

Her marriage prospect was Su Mu, but Su Chen was still the Su family’s biological son. Even though he was considered useless and embarrassing, the mere fact that he was a blood-related Su posed a threat to Su Mu’s rightful inheritance of the Su family’s business empire.

Feeling the malice directed at him, Su Chen lifted his head and saw Wang Yiyi glaring at him with hostility from the entrance.

Instantly, memories of his past life resurfaced—everything Wang Yiyi had done to him and her ultimate fate.

In his previous life, Wang Yiyi had gone out of her way to humiliate him.

Every time she saw him, she would verbally degrade him.

When she couldn’t see him, she spread countless rumors about his disgraceful moments.

With Wang Yiyi and the Wang family’s support, Su Mu had defeated Su Lili and ultimately secured control of the Su family’s empire.

However, just when the Wang family thought their business alliance through marriage with Su Mu was set in stone, Su Mu betrayed them.

At the critical moment, Su Mu exposed a trove of compromising photos—evidence of Wang Yiyi’s wild lifestyle from her teenage years.

The images showed Wang Yiyi frequenting nightclubs, smoking, drinking, and engaging in countless flings.

Su Mu coldly declared that Wang Yiyi was unworthy of being the lady of the Su family.

Faced with irrefutable proof, the Wang family had no choice but to abandon their marriage alliance with the Su family.

Yes, Wang Yiyi was a “good girl” who lived in nightclubs, smoked, drank, and slept around.

She believed that all the men she had casual encounters with were beneath her.

In her mind, only the Su family’s heir was worthy of her as a “good girl.”

So, she had devoted herself to helping Su Mu rise in business while suppressing Su Chen.

But she never imagined that Su Mu had been investigating her since their teenage years.

And he had collected a vast archive of her shameful photos.

Su Chen smirked as he gazed at Wang Yiyi.

Then he glanced at Su Mu.

Most likely, Su Mu had already started gathering dirt on Wang Yiyi.

In fact, Su Mu probably already had a sizable collection of compromising photos in his phone.

The Su family members, feeling awkward at Wang Yiyi’s outburst, could only smile sheepishly.

No one spoke up in Su Chen’s defense.

After all, they also felt that Su Chen was unworthy of attending such an event.

However, the shadow of Su Grandma’s wrath still loomed over them.

No one dared to say outright that Su Chen didn’t belong here.

Wang Hai was an experienced businessman.

Upon seeing the Su family’s expressions, he instantly sensed that something was off.

He quickly stopped Wang Yiyi before she could cause more trouble for Su Chen.

It was best not to create unnecessary conflicts without knowing the full situation.

Finally, all the invited guests arrived.

As the host, Su Zhenxing was the first to take the stage and deliver an impassioned speech.

Then, it was Su Mu’s turn to shine.

To solidify Su Mu’s future business connections, Su Zhenxing had arranged for him to give a speech.

Brimming with confidence, Su Mu first connected his phone to the event’s projector, ensuring his speech displayed on the large screen behind him.

Then, with a confident stride, he stepped onto the stage.

This was his moment.

The audience murmured in admiration.

“Look at the Su family’s children. Still in high school, yet already so commanding!”

“Indeed, this boy has a bright future ahead!”

“Even though he’s adopted, it’s clear the Su family’s future belongs to him.”

“Absolutely!”

…

Hearing the discussions around them, Wang Hai and Wang Yiyi nodded in satisfaction.

Their future son-in-law was truly extraordinary!

Their judgment had been spot-on!

Compared to the useless orphan the Su family had reclaimed, Su Mu was simply on another level.

Wang Yiyi glanced at the sofa where Su Chen had been sitting earlier.

But he was gone.

She frowned but didn’t dwell on it.

That piece of trash had probably realized his inferiority and slinked off to some dark corner in shame.

She was right—Su Chen was in a corner.

But he was quietly working behind the scenes.

While Su Mu delivered his grand speech, Su Chen moved unnoticed to the event’s projector computer.

As Su Mu spoke passionately on stage, Su Chen silently executed his plan.

First, he removed Su Mu’s phone from the projector.

Then, he scrolled through its contents.

And almost instantly, he found exactly what he was looking for.

Su Chen was momentarily stunned.

He hadn’t expected to find his target so quickly.

It turned out Su Mu was extremely “efficient”.

Because Su Mu frequently viewed these files, his phone had automatically pinned them to the top.

Su Chen smirked.

Who knew Su Mu enjoyed reviewing his fiancée’s wild past so much?

Without hesitation, Su Chen activated the slideshow and reconnected Su Mu’s phone to the projector.

On stage, Su Mu was soaking in the admiration from the crowd.

But suddenly, he noticed something strange.

The entire audience was staring directly at him.

Even those who had been whispering among themselves had fallen silent.

Su Mu was thrilled.

Surely, they were all captivated by his presence.

But soon, something felt off.

Why were so many people whipping out their phones and taking pictures of the stage?

Why did Wang Hai and Wang Yiyi look furious as they rushed toward him?

Even his parents and sisters were frantically shouting—

“Turn off the screen!”

“Shut it down!”

Realization dawned on Su Mu.

He whipped around and looked at the giant projector screen behind him.

And there, broadcast in full view of the audience—

A slideshow of Wang Yiyi, entangled with different men, completely exposed, her face drenched in intoxicated bliss.
