A family...
Su Muqiu's heart skipped a beat, her eyes complicated, and for a moment she was somewhat lost in thought.
"Let's go, we're going home."
Xiao Zhan took Su Muqiu by the hand and turned to leave, walking to the lobby exit without looking back, leaving with: "Anyone who dares to move against my wife and daughter, die!"
His voice was like thunder, deafening!
The atmosphere in the hotel lobby was stifling, and after Xiao Zhan's outburst, today's banquet was thoroughly ruined. Seeing the situation going badly, the guests quickly gave their excuses and left.
Like birds and beasts scattering.
Soon, only Su Bingtian, Su Jianguo, Su Wenchao, and Su Mang remained in the huge, empty hotel lobby.
"Dad, this is..."
Su Jianguo's face was black as ink.
"Useless!"
Su Bingtian raised his dragon head cane and fiercely struck Su Jianguo several times, cursing as he beat him. "This is what you've done! This is the person you found! Hmph, inviting a wolf into the house and suffering for it!"
His voice was like a bell, deafening!
Su Bingtian was usually very concerned about face, but now, his old face had been completely lost!
"Dad, don't get angry."
Su Jianguo quickly said: "That brat is crude and wild by nature, the investigation results are consistent, I just didn't expect he would be so violently wild as to not recognize kin, like a mad dog, biting anyone he sees."
"With Muqiu taking him home, it's like bringing a time bomb. Once it goes off, the two women in their home, one disabled and one a child, will be finished..."
This was also the result Su Jianguo most wanted to see.
"Didn't you see he was clearly defending Muqiu just now?" Su Bingtian said angrily.
"That was just for show."
Su Jianguo confidently said: "Men like to bluster in front of women, just to get in their beds. Don't forget, he's an ex-convict rapist. If Muqiu doesn't obey him, do you think he can hold back?"
"That's true..."
Su Bingtian thought for a moment, and huffed: "The company side, Muqiu has some very important clients, you should hurry to contact them and sign the contracts to replace Muqiu."
"Good!"
Su Jianguo was overjoyed.
Although Su Bingtian didn't say it outright, even a fool could tell he wanted them to take over Su Muqiu's clients, sidelining her. Once Su Muqiu lost her clients, kicking her out of Su Shi Group, even out of the Su family, would be easy.
It seems today's farce had deepened Su Bingtian's disgust towards Su Muqiu, and made him determined to kick her out of the company!
After Su Bingtian left, Su Wenchao coldly said: "That Xiao fellow got off cheaply. Su Muqiu's figure and looks are top three in all of Quancheng. If she wasn't my cousin, I would want to sleep with her too."
"Me too."
The tearful Su Mang had a vicious look, saying: "When I grow up, I'm going to sleep with that little bastard Su Xiaomeng too!"
"Shut up!"
Su Jianguo yelled angrily: "Good for nothing, don't even think about it while grandfather is still alive. He cares more about face than life itself. Keep your thoughts to yourself!"
The implication was, they could do as they wished after the old man died?
Su Wenchao was delighted and impatiently said: "I already prepared those major clients' contact info. No time to delay, I'll call them now to discuss replacing Muqiu and signing contracts with them."
"You're pretty smart."
Su Jianguo nodded approvingly, extremely pleased...
At that time.
Xiao Zhan had already returned home with Su Muqiu.
Fu Yuan community.
The twenty-five year old house was originally Su Jiancheng and Liu Hongxiu's wedding residence. Now it looked rather shabby compared to the newly built high-end communities nearby.
The two-bedroom apartment was only eighty square meters.
"Uncle, this is my home."
As soon as they entered, Su Xiaomeng pulled Xiao Zhan around introducing everything. "This is the kitchen, this is the bathroom, this is grandma and grandpa's room, and here, this is my and mama's room. Those are all the toys mama bought me..."
The little girl was very excited.
Su Muqiu watched this, complex feelings in her heart.
Xiao Zhan had stood up for her, unafraid of offending the Sus, and she was very moved. But being moved was not the same as love. Was she really going to resign herself to compromise and be Xiao Zhan's wife?
To be honest, she was unwilling!
But what could she do if unwilling? Sending Xiao Zhan away now would surely bring disaster from the Sus. How could Xiao Zhan alone withstand the Su family's wrath?
She didn't have the heart!
Just as Su Muqiu felt conflicted and trapped, she heard Su Xiaomeng's deliberately lowered voice from the bedroom: "Uncle, you really won't bully my mama and force her to make you my dad, right?"
"I won't." Xiao Zhan laughed.
"Then... can you sleep on the floor at night? Grandma said only my dad can sleep with mama besides me."
"Okay."
"Let's pinky swear!"
Su Xiaomeng happily said: "Pinky swear, sealed tight, one hundred years, never change..."
Her voice was very soft, faint. But it entered Su Muqiu's ears like a gentle little hand, plucking at the most sensitive chord in her heart. Unknowingly, tears fell like rain.
"Muqiu, why are you crying?"
Liu Hongxiu had just pushed Su Jiancheng in the door, and seeing Su Muqiu with tears streaming down her face, her expression changed drastically as she cried in alarm: "Did that violent criminal bully you and Xiaomeng?"
Just thinking of Xiao Zhan's criminal record made Liu Hongxiu feel chilled to the bone.
"No."
Su Muqiu wiped her tears and squeezed out a smile. "He gets along well with Xiaomeng. Xiaomeng doesn't seem to dislike him at all."
"That's still not okay!"
Liu Hongxiu worriedly said: "No matter what, he is after all a..."
She didn't dare say "rapist" out loud.
All the way back, Liu Hongxiu had been worried. Now that Xiao Zhan and Su Muqiu were engaged, living in their home, what if Xiao Zhan was violent toward Su Muqiu? What could they do?
"Mom, he's my husband now. As long as he sincerely treats Xiaomeng well, I... will be fine." Su Muqiu bit her lip as if steeling her resolve.
"But..."
"I'm going to make dinner."
Su Muqiu turned to leave, but just then, her phone suddenly rang.
"Cousin should be home by now, right?"
It was Su Wenchao calling, his tone mocking. "A man and woman alone, newlywed passion - with the groom so strong and virile-looking, surely he must be eager to do something with cousin?"
His voice was full of cold ridicule!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
