Su Yan knew his aunt very well; in the past, he certainly would have agreed with her. He used to think she understood him and the rest of the family—that she was a truly gentle woman. However, years of experience had taught him that she was nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing. On the surface, she was incredibly soft-spoken, and every word she uttered seemed to be for one's own good. Yet, her heart was fueled entirely by selfishness.
If she were truly so high-minded and selfless, why was she so comfortable enjoying the family inheritance that belonged to him? She claimed she was young and naive back then, but surely, he should be considered mature now? Shouldn't it be time to return the family assets? Yet, despite their long conversation, she hadn't said a single word to that effect. Instead, she had only tried to suppress his anger, hoping to prevent him from causing trouble outside.
"There's no need," Su Yan said with a faint smile. "There are no misunderstandings between us; everything I said is a fact. If you don't believe me, that’s fine. But I will offer you one final warning: things that do not belong to you are things you will never be able to hold onto."
