Ten minutes later. Laughing Proud Literature
"Alright."
Xiao Zhan stood up and smiled, "Dad, you rest first, no need to put on socks."
"Mm."
Su Jiancheng nodded.
Then, Xiao Zhan looked at Su Muqiu and gestured, "Wife, go pour out the foot washing water, put this basin aside separately. Tomorrow, I'll go buy some Chinese medicine, and later use medicinal water to soak Dad's feet."
"Chinese medicine?"
Su Muqiu was surprised.
Xiao Zhan smiled, "Soaking the feet in medicinal water is good for Dad's legs."
After finishing speaking, he turned and went to the kitchen.
Su Muqiu was stunned for a long time, staring at Xiao Zhan's back, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, thinking to herself, he's acting as if it's real, could it be that he really studied massage before and is a professional therapist???
After half an hour of massage, Xiao Zhan already had a general understanding of Su Jiancheng's disability, and was confident that he could restore Su Jiancheng to his original condition and help him stand up again.
Using medicinal water to soak the feet can activate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis, shortening the massage process from half a month to within ten days. Then, using acupuncture point therapy, it would take at most twenty days for feeling to return to Su Jiancheng's legs.
As for standing up and walking, it would take one to two months.
"Mom, are you looking for me?"
In the kitchen, Liu Hongxiu was chopping vegetables. Xiao Zhan calling out "Mom" so naturally made Liu Hongxiu feel uncomfortable, and her expression immediately turned cold.
Picking up the kitchen knife, she had a fierce look on her face.
She stared at Xiao Zhan and said seriously, "You and Muqiu are only engaged, not yet married. Calling me auntie is fine, don't keep calling me mom, I'm not used to it."
"Alright."
Xiao Zhan was unbothered as well. He asked, "Then auntie, did you ask for me for something?"
"Of course I have something to ask!"
Liu Hongxiu went straight to the point, asking in a low voice, "Speak truthfully, what benefits did Su Wenchao give you for getting you out of prison? What conditions did you agree to? Is there some conspiracy between you two that cannot be spoken of?"
"That money you have, Su Wenchao gave it to you, right???"
Liu Hongxiu thought for a long time, feeling that this was the most likely possibility - Su Wenchao gave Xiao Zhan enough money to marry into their family and harm the four of them!
It's a pity, Xiao Zhan is too suspicious, Liu Hongxiu couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation.
"Auntie, I understand how you feel."
Xiao Zhan already expected that barging into the Su family's lives would make Liu Hongxiu, Su Jiancheng, and even Su Muqiu have misgivings about him, even doubting his motives. So Liu Hongxiu asking this did not surprise him at all.
Shaking his head, Xiao Zhan said solemnly, "I can assure you, I agreed to Su Wenchao to marry Muqiu only because I want to protect Muqiu and Xiao Meng from being bullied by others."
"I absolutely do not have any malice towards your family!"
Staring straight into Liu Hongxiu's eyes, it was as if he wanted to see through Xiao Zhan's thoughts.
After a moment, she asked, "Why?"
"You and Muqiu are strangers without any relationship, why do you want to protect her?"
"Because she and I..."
Xiao Zhan swallowed his words again, took a deep breath, and shook his head, "Auntie, I can't tell you about my matters right now, but please believe me, it won't take long before you'll know."
"Can't say?"
Liu Hongxiu became more suspicious, snorting, "Can't say, or don't dare say? I think you're afraid of letting something slip and getting exposed by me on the spot."
"With your attitude, why should I believe you?"
As she spoke, she brandished the kitchen knife in her hand, waving it threateningly before Xiao Zhan, "I'm warning you, don't lay a finger on Muqiu and baby Meng, don't harm mother and child, otherwise, I..."
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Xiao Zhan nodded.
A parent's concern is understandable.
Xiao Zhan could completely understand Liu Hongxiu's worries, but the matter from five years ago was not yet time to fully disclose. Therefore, facing Liu Hongxiu's questioning and threats, he could only silently endure.
Time will eventually prove everything!
"Oh."
Xiao Zhan had just walked out of the kitchen when Su Muqiu hurried over and whispered, "My mom... didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"No."
Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head, asking back, "Wife, are you concerned about me?"
"Nonsense, who's concerned about you!"
Su Muqiu glared at him and said coldly, "There's something I want to trouble you with, if you have time tomorrow, drive me to the company to get my things and bring them back."
"Also, I've sent out some resumes and need to go to other companies for interviews..."
Xiao Zhan was stunned.
Packing up things?
Interviews?
He had to admit, Su Muqiu was indeed a decisive woman who took swift action. Just having her contract taken away by Su Wenchao and kicked out of Su Group at noon, she was already looking for a new job by the afternoon, without even taking time to feel sad and wronged.
While surprised, Xiao Zhan inevitably felt a little distressed.
If not for the huge pressure of living expenses forcing her, who would stubbornly persevere like this? Who wouldn't want an easy, carefree life? Moreover, Su Muqiu was such a gentle, weak woman.
She had been shouldering this pressure for a full five years.
And Xiao Zhan was not without blame.
Whether intentional or not, it was because of Xiao Zhan that Su Muqiu had a child out of wedlock and suffered cold looks for five years, her position in the Su family growing worse and worse.
Now that Xiao Zhan had returned, of course he couldn't let this situation continue, he couldn't let Su Muqiu suffer even a bit more grievance.
So...
"Alright."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "That car was bought for you in the first place, you can use it whenever you want."
Then he took out his phone and sent another text message to Duan Yihong!
The recipient was still Duan Yihong!
The content of the message was very simple, just a few sentences: I'm giving you one night's time, use my money under your name to acquire Su Group, and have Su Muqiu replace Su Bingtian as the group president. Tomorrow morning, Su Muqiu will go to Su Group to take up her post...
...
At that time.
In the VIP room of Haihu Grand Hotel.
Three middle-aged men sat facing each other, precisely the executioners from five years ago - the three crime family heads Chen Zhonghe, Liu Hanchong, and Zhang Fenglin.
The atmosphere in the private room was somewhat oppressive, and none of their expressions looked good.
Suddenly, a jarring ringtone sounded.
The three men's hearts thumped violently in unison. Liu Hanchong and Chen Zhonghe looked towards Zhang Fenglin, who took a deep breath and brought the phone to his ear, answering, "What's the situation? Speak!"
Zhang Fenglin had connections in Shengcheng Prison No.4, so after Chen Zhonghe brought up Xiao Zhan's matter, Zhang Fenglin immediately called to investigate.
And now, the results were out!
"He's really been released from prison?"
"Was surrounded by dozens of men in black at the prison gates?"
"Then dozens of SUVs rushed over, with a hundred or two soldiers in combat gear wielding submachine guns, and took him away???"
The more Zhang Fenglin listened, the more terrified he became, his face soon turning pale as paper!

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
