A domineering CEO falls in love with me, an unmarried mother of seven!

Chapter 213 I Want to Go Back to See Grandpa

Su Yingxue raised her head, her face covered in tears, crying like a child.

She nodded, her voice choked with emotion: "I want to go back, I want to go back to see Grandpa..."

"I didn't even get to see him one last time, I'm so sorry, Grandpa..."

Although Grandpa Su was not her biological grandfather, Su Yingxue had long regarded him as her family during the years she had lived in Pengcheng.

Her heart was filled with grief and reluctance, and tears kept falling down her cheeks.

Tan Zhengchu gently wiped away her tears, his voice soft: "Don't cry, you'll hurt yourself. Grandpa in heaven will be heartbroken."

"Shall we go back now?"

Su Yingxue leaned against him and nodded, but she still couldn't stop her tears.

Her heart was filled with regret and remorse: "Grandpa, how could you just leave like this..."

"I haven't had a chance to properly repay your kindness..."

Tan Zhengchu gently patted her back, then turned to the third brother and said, "Prepare the plane immediately, we're returning to Pengcheng right away."

The third brother nodded respectfully: "President Tan, the plane is already waiting on the tarmac, and everything is ready."

Tan Zhengchu cupped Su Yingxue's face in his hands, his eyes filled with concern: "Yingxue, don't be too sad."

"Grandpa would definitely want you to be strong, not to be overly sad for him."

Looking into his eyes, Su Yingxue felt a little calmer, but tears continued to flow.

Tan Zhengchu's mood also became heavy, as if something was gripping his heart.

Just then, Su Yingxue suddenly lifted her head from Tan Zhengchu's embrace, her eyes becoming resolute: "Zhengchu, we can't go back like this."

"Grandpa passed away suddenly, something must have happened."

"I need to go back and investigate this thoroughly. I can't let Grandpa's passing be left unexplained!"

Tan Zhengchu frowned, his tone calm: "Yingxue, I understand how you feel."

"But the most important thing now is to go back and see Grandpa one last time."

"We can investigate the other matters slowly."

Su Yingxue bit her lip, her eyes filled with determination: "But..."

Tan Zhengchu gently took her hand, interrupting her, "Don't rush, let's go back first."

"Is there anything you want to take with you? I'll have someone pack it for you."

Su Yingxue shook her head: "I wanted to take everything with me, but it's too late now."

"Let's go quickly."

Tan Zhengchu nodded, his tone firm: "Okay, I'll have someone come and clean it up tomorrow."

"Now, let's go back to Shenzhen first."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs, quickly grabbing Su Yingxue's bag and his own computer and phone.

Then, he took Su Yingxue's hand and walked quickly towards the tarmac.

The helicopter had started up, and the sound of its propellers echoed through the night sky.

Tan Zhengchu helped Su Yingxue onto the helicopter and carefully fastened her seatbelt.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," he said softly, his tone full of reassurance.

Su Yingxue leaned on his shoulder, tears still streaming down her face.

But a newfound determination arose in her heart: "Grandpa, I will definitely find out the truth."

"I won't let you leave for nothing."

The helicopter slowly took off and flew towards Shenzhen.

The stars in the night sky were dim, as if mourning the passing of Grandpa Su.

But a flame ignited in Su Yingxue's heart.

She knew that the road ahead would be difficult.

But she had no other choice.

……

Su Yingqing was taken away by Zhang Daqiang and brought to his home in a dilapidated building.

The walls in the stairwell were covered with all sorts of small advertisements.

Layer upon layer, like countless distorted faces peering out from the darkness.

There were no streetlights, only a faint ray of light from afar filtering through the broken windows, barely outlining the stairwell.

"Where...where is this?" Her voice trembled, and she could barely see the road ahead.

"Zhang Daqiang, where are you taking me?"

Zhang Daqiang sneered and continued walking forward.

Su Yingqing gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her heart pounding like a drum.

She couldn't see the road ahead; she could only hear her own footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

Every step felt like walking on cotton, soft and yielding, leaving me with absolutely no sense of security.

"Zhang Daqiang, where are you taking me?" she finally couldn't hold back and asked in a trembling voice.

Zhang Daqiang didn't turn around, but just coldly snorted, "You'll know when we get there."

A wave of fear washed over Su Yingqing.

She couldn't help but look back, only to find that it was pitch black behind her as well.

She suddenly realized that she had been taken to a completely unfamiliar place, and her mother had not come after her to save her.

"Why...why didn't Mom come?" she asked herself silently, tears welling up in her eyes.

Zhang Daqiang suddenly stopped, took out his phone from his pocket, and turned on the flashlight function.

The blinding light instantly illuminated the road ahead and also revealed Su Yingqing's pale face.

"What's wrong, Miss Su? You're not used to this kind of place?" Zhang Daqiang laughed sarcastically. "You'll have to get used to this run-down environment from now on."

After he finished speaking, he gave Su Yingqing a hard shove.

Su Yingqing stumbled and almost fell.

She turned her head sharply, staring at Zhang Daqiang with eyes full of anger and confusion.

"Don't push me! I can walk by myself!" she said through gritted teeth. "You want money, don't you? I'll give you money, then let me go!"

Zhang Daqiang sneered, his eyes turning cold: "Money? You think I'm short of money? What I want is to see you suffer after losing your status as the second young lady of the Su family. That's what I want most."

Su Yingqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She knew that resisting now would only make things worse.

She decided to temporarily obey Zhang Daqiang and wait for an opportunity to find out his true purpose.

"Okay, I'll go with you," she said softly, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Zhang Daqiang nodded in satisfaction and continued leading her upstairs.

There is no elevator in the building, only narrow stairs.

Su Yingqing followed behind, her steps growing heavier and heavier.

"Tenth floor...you live on the tenth floor?" she asked breathlessly, fine beads of sweat already forming on her forehead.

"What, Miss Mo can't even climb these stairs?" Zhang Daqiang mocked without turning his head.

Su Yingqing gritted her teeth and did not answer.

She secretly vowed that once tonight was over, she would find a way to leave this awful place.

Finally reaching the tenth floor, Zhang Daqiang pushed open a rusty iron door, making a jarring sound.

Su Yingqing followed him into the room, and the scene before her eyes stunned her instantly.

The room was dimly lit, and the air was filled with an indescribable stench, like a mixture of rotting food and moldy walls.

Su Yingqing couldn't help but cover her nose, almost vomiting.
