CHAPTER 231: CHAPTER 231: SU KEXIN RETURNS TO SU FAMILY

Han Hu’s eyes flashed with hesitation.

Su Kexin did not miss the emotion in her eyes.

In the face of an emergency, her mind, for once, burst forth with uncharacteristic cleverness.

"My worthless life for Fu Bing’s background—you’re still hesitating?"

Han Hu collected herself. "I promise you."

Han Hu called a car and tossed Su Kexin into it.

Wu Yue emerged from behind a tree. "You’re just letting her go back like that? How are you going to explain this to your brother?"

"Even if Su Kexin were to change, she couldn’t possibly become much smarter. If the Su Family could drive her out once, they could do it a second time," Han Hu said calmly. "Xiaobing has always been concerned about her family, and I also hope to do my part for her."

Wu Yue stood with his small hands clasped behind his back like a miniature adult. "You adults are so troublesome, always doing these thankless tasks day in and day out."

"When you have someone you love in your heart, you’ll also want to consider things more for her."

"Does this mean you love Sister Bing?" Wu Yue asked, his face a mask of dismay.

"There are many kinds of love, not just romantic love between a man and a woman." Han Hu patted his back. "Come on, let’s go watch the show."

Su Kexin had never felt the road to Sully was so long.

Before reaching Sully, any second could bring a mishap. She dared not even breathe too deeply. Only when the familiar sight of Sully appeared before her did she let out a small sigh of relief.

The driver Han Hu had called dumped her at the entrance of Sully.

He departed quietly, avoiding the cameras.

Su Kexin knocked on the door, her movements labored.

After a short while, the door opened from the inside.

The stewardess was just coming out.

Su Kexin’s eyes lit up at the sight of her. "Stewardess, it’s Kexin! Save me! Someone is trying to kill me!"

The stewardess scrutinized the disheveled Su Kexin with a critical eye.

"Push her hair back."

A servant of the Su Family did as instructed.

Su Kexin’s dirt-stained face was fully revealed.

The stewardess pondered for a moment, cautiously scanning the surroundings.

"Secretly take her to the Old Madam’s courtyard. Make absolutely sure no one else sees her. Otherwise..."

The rest of her sentence remained unspoken, but the warning it carried was intensely ominous.

The servant shuddered. "Yes."

Su Kexin heaved a great sigh of relief.

Her grandmother had always doted on her. No matter what she did, her grandmother always took her side. She was saved!

Han Hu and Wu Yue witnessed this scene clearly.

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow. "Su Kexin is like a tiger returned to the mountains now. How will you get the clues about Sister Bing’s background from her?"

Wu Yue already knew that Sister Bing was the Su Family’s long-lost only daughter.

Brother Han hadn’t allowed him to speak of it, so his lips would forever remain sealed.

Han Hu pulled out her phone and opened an app.

On the app’s interface, a red dot was moving.

"Her value isn’t just in revealing Xiaobing’s background; she has other uses as well."

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow. "You’re quite cunning!"

"For someone who’s ’died’ once, don’t be so naive," Han Hu said lightly.

She didn’t want Fu Bing and Lian Yingting to be tainted by any sordid affairs. She had to find a way to shoulder these burdens herself.

Old Madam Su had passed the critical period and had been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home.

Old Madam Su had already seen through her two sons. In her old age, she realized that all three sons she had borne were ungrateful wretches. She had thought the eldest might be slightly better, but he turned out to be no different from the others. Even before her death, members of the Su Family were already making their own selfish plans. And all for that worthless girl who had been missing for over twenty years! The more Old Madam Su thought about it, the more her discomfort grew. She would not allow such things to happen under her nose.

The stewardess brought a cleaned-up Su Kexin before Old Madam Su.

As soon as Su Kexin saw Old Madam Su, she immediately burst into tears.

"Grandma, I’ve missed you so much!"

Old Madam Su was taken aback. "How did you come back?"

"I... ever since I was driven out of Sully, I’ve thought about you every day. But I was afraid of upsetting Mom, so I didn’t dare to return."

Su Kexin’s tears and sorrow were genuine. Only upon returning to Sully did she truly understand what she had lost. She had once been the Su Family’s sole young mistress, held in high esteem. After falling from grace, she learned how bitter life at the bottom could be. Now that she was back in Sully, she was determined to cling to Old Madam Su’s coattails and never leave again, no matter what.

Su Kexin awkwardly wiped away her tears. "I heard you were sick and hospitalized. I’ve wanted to visit you every day. Grandma, are you feeling any better now?"

Old Madam Su looked at Su Kexin expressionlessly, rapidly calculating her worth in her mind.

Su Junhui must have already found information about that worthless girl. Once it’s confirmed, that girl will soon return to the Su Family. By then, she herself would be completely sidelined. She needed her own pawn. Su Kexin was the perfect pawn.

Having come to this realization, Old Madam Su also deliberately squeezed out a couple of tears.

"With you back, I can die in peace."

"You grew up in Sully, living in luxury for so many years. Did you suffer a great deal after being driven out?"

Su Kexin shook her head pitifully.

"Grandma, it’s all in the past. Now that I can see you again and be by your side, all the suffering was worth it."

Old Madam Su feigned deep emotion. "Grandma didn’t dote on you for nothing. Your mother is an unreasonable person; she acts on every whim. After I found out you were driven out, I sent many people to find you, but Grandma just couldn’t find you..."

Old Madam Su intentionally smoothed the white hair at her temple. "Grandma is old and useless now. I can’t even protect my most beloved granddaughter."

"Grandma, please don’t say that. It was my fault. Back then, I was only trying to protect Mom when I tried to stop Fu Bing. You don’t know how fierce she was; her expression clearly showed she intended to take Mom’s life."

"I couldn’t let Mom take such a risk, so I could only do my best to stop Fu Bing. Who would have thought her reckless actions would actually wake Mom up, and because of that, Mom came to resent me? I was truly just afraid that Fu Bing, in her heavy-handedness, would harm her."

As Su Kexin spoke, she covered her face and began to sob softly.

Tears trickled through her fingers and dripped onto her lap.

Old Madam Su had the stewardess help her up. "Grandma sees your good intentions. I also went to your mother and asked her for your address so I could bring you home. Not only did she refuse to tell me, but she also had the bodyguards prevent me from leaving the hospital."

"Kexin, we, the old and the young, are ultimately no match for her."

"Grandma’s health isn’t good either. All I can do now is ensure you have some peaceful days. I’m afraid I can’t offer you much else."

Su Kexin quickly pledged, "Being by your side, Grandma, is all I could ask for. I wouldn’t dare demand anything more."

Old Madam Su nodded. "You’re tired too. Go back to your room and get some proper rest. We can talk about other things after you’ve woken up."

"Yes, yes."

After Su Kexin left, Old Madam Su immediately dropped her benevolent facade.

"Did anyone see Kexin return?"

"I’ve already taken care of the security personnel; they wouldn’t dare say anything. However, the Fourth and Fifth Young Masters are currently at home. They have no particular affection for Miss Kexin, so I’m afraid they might cause trouble."

Old Madam Su snorted coldly. "They have no stake in the Su Family assets and are usually not at home anyway. They can’t stir up any significant trouble."

After a moment’s thought, Old Madam Su added, "Create some problems for Junhui’s tutor. Keep Junhui too busy to meddle in family affairs."

All this turmoil was started by Su Junhui; he would have to bear the consequences.
