106: Chapter 106: Can I Handle It?

Seeing these people come in, Su Yukan’s face turned iron blue, and he wanted to explode with anger right there and then.

But Su Zhe couldn’t care less about him, and got up to instruct the moving company’s staff in a calm voice, “Just pack up these two women’s belongings and move them out, that’ll suffice.

Their rooms and dressings rooms are at the end of the hallway on the second floor to the right, and the end of the hallway on the third floor to the left.

Make it quick.”

The workers from the moving company had never had such an easy job, just moving two women’s luggage, hardly anything substantial, let alone any large furniture.

Su Zhe reached out to Secretary Yang, who was well-prepared and immediately took out two stacks of red post-it notes.

Su Zhe handed one stack to Su Lu, “You’re more familiar with the furnishings in the house than I am.

Anything that wasn’t originally part of the house, tag it.”

Su Lu glanced at the post-it notes in her hand, thinking to herself…

when her brother got ruthless, he really covered all bases, not leaving any room for mercy.

Su Zhe already turned his head to continue speaking to the movers, “Besides what I just mentioned, also move out anything that gets tagged with these red post-it notes.”

Su Lu merely looked at the post-it notes in her hand for a moment, then got up, walked over to a lamp on a nearby floor, and casually stuck a red post-it note on its shade.

Then she immediately turned and headed to the hallway, affixing red post-it notes to the frames of two paintings on the wall.

Su Jiao had been holding back all this while, bottling it up, restraining herself.

In front of her elder brother, she wouldn’t dare to act out, but at this moment she completely lost her restraint, stood up, and screamed, charging toward Su Lu.

“Su Lu!

You dare!”

Su Lu had just stuck a post-it note on the painting frame when she was rammed into the wall by the huge force of Su Jiao charging at her from behind.

Frowning, Su Lu turned around, only for Su Jiao to grab her collar and bellow, “What do you count for!

What are you worth?

How long are you going to hurt me!

How long will you harm my family!”

But she couldn’t hold onto Su Lu’s collar for long; a thin hand reached out and pried Su Jiao’s grasp away.

Su Jiao glared at him, “What?

You’re going to oppose me too!”

Su Yi remained expressionless, his tone calm, “Calm down, let’s talk properly.”

Su Jiao wanted to raise her voice, but from the corner of her eye, she saw Su Zhe standing at the entrance to the hallway, looking at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Su Jiao could only bitterly let go, not daring to act out again.

With an impassive face, Su Lu adjusted her collar, then turned and stuck another red post-it note onto a little owl decoration on the sideboard.

She vividly remembered, it was something Su Jiao had bought.

Su Jiao’s face turned even more unsightly, but she didn’t dare make a scene like before.

Su Lu was the kind of person who, if she decided to do something, would methodically complete it even amidst opposition.

So after sticking post-it notes on all the needed items, she rubbed her hands together and looked at Su Zhe, “I’m done here.

Shall I go now?”

“Where to?” asked Su Zhe.

Su Lu: “Uh…

I have plans with You Ran.”

Su Zhe considered for a moment, “Alright, but wait a little longer.

Once Secretary Yang arrives, let him take you there.”

Secretary Yang originally had no need to get involved, but upon arrival, seeing the boss’s car smashed beyond recognition, he hurried to send it to the repair shop, which should be back soon, without much delay.

Su Lu nodded, “Okay then.”

Meanwhile, Zhu Xinyan and Su Jiao sat dejectedly in the living room, as if they had finally accepted the reality of being driven out of this home.

Even though the job wasn’t heavy, the moving company’s pace still wasn’t very fast.

The main reason was that all the mother and daughter’s belongings were branded, and they feared damaging them.

Since the employer was paying well, they could afford to work slowly and meticulously to avoid any mishaps.

The atmosphere in the living room was quite heavy.

Su Yukan’s family of three sat there, shrouded in gloom and doom.

Su Lu, however, had been taken by Su Zhe to the tea room.

In the tea room, the air was filled with pleasant aromas, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

“So many fine teas, and you don’t like any but insist on drinking jasmine…” Su Zhe looked at Su Lu helplessly as she was uninterested in the high-quality pu-erh tea he prepared, sipping from a transparent cup filled with floating jasmine blossoms.

“I have cheap tastes, no helping it,” Su Lu said, taking another sip and squinting her eyes in satisfaction.

“Su Jiao was so aggressive earlier, and you didn’t even get angry.

Your temperament really is…

When are you going to toughen up?” Su Zhe looked at her, thinking about how Su Jiao had grabbed her by the collar before.

Su Lu was silent for a few seconds, then smiled with a downward gaze, “It’s not every time a dog bites me that I have to bite back.

If that were the case, over the years, would I have had the time to deal with it all?”

“Damn, the way you say it…” Su Zhe curled his lips, “It’s like I bit a dog today, feels insulting.”

Su Lu shrugged, “I didn’t say you did.”

“Once they’ve moved out, come back to live here,” Su Zhe said.

Upon hearing this, Su Lu paused in her tea-drinking, looked down, and shook her head, “I’d rather not.”

She really had no good impression of this home, only memories of various forms of bullying and abuse.

Thinking she was worried about Su Yukan, Su Zhe said, “You don’t need to worry about Su Yukan.

He’ll move with the mother and daughter; it’s not like they don’t have another house.”

As Su Zhe spoke, he took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, “The room in the back that was originally your studio was forcefully turned into an unused practice room by Su Jiao.

I’ll get it changed back into a studio.

That way, you…”

“Brother,” Su Lu looked up at Su Zhe, “I am not a child anymore.”

Su Zhe: “…”

Su Lu: “I hope to stay far away from this home, far away from these unpleasant memories.

It was not easy to get away from here, and I don’t want to move back.”

Su Zhe was silent for a moment, then gently nodded, “Alright then.

Seeing as your current apartment is small, if you don’t want to come back…”

Su Zhe considered for a moment, “How about this, I’ll buy the unit above or below yours for you, have someone build a staircase, so that you can have more living space, and you can set up a studio or something.”

Su Lu knew that if she refused this kindness, Su Zhe would feel upset.

So after a few seconds of silence, Su Lu nodded, holding her cup and smiling at him, “Then, thank you, brother.”

Secretary Yang finally arrived, and before he even had a chance to sit down, the boss gave him instructions.

“Drive Lulu.”

Secretary Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The life of a worker is hard.

“Alright.”

Su Zhe didn’t see her out.

As Su Lu followed Secretary Yang out of the house towards the parking lot, she saw Su Yi sitting in the little garden outside.

He had a lit cigarette between his fingers, which he didn’t seem very adept at smoking, taking a puff only after a long interval.

Su Lu just quietly watched for two seconds, then continued towards the parking lot with Secretary Yang.

But then, hurried footsteps came from behind.

“Wait a minute.”
