CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 71: WHO HAS REALLY ARRIVED

Mr. Su couldn’t wait to have them reach the point of no return, and quickly said, "Good, good!"

Looking around, he took two ropes from the curtain and was about to tie up Su Xingyu.

Su Xingyu was tightly held down by Su Xingqi and her mother, using all her strength but unable to break free. Seeing Mr. Su getting closer with the rope, she could only call out in a grief-stricken and humiliated voice, "Dad!" Her voice was mournful and desolate, filled with twists and turns, as if begging for mercy, yet also accusing.

She was his daughter!

His own flesh and blood, how could he bear to let her suffer such humiliation?

Perhaps her appearance was too miserable, making Mr. Su feel uncomfortable, and the hand holding the rope paused involuntarily.

Su Xingqi grew anxious, furiously gripping Su Xingyu with her sharp nails digging straight into her flesh, "Dad! What are you hesitating for! Don’t be fooled by her sweet words! You are doing this for her own good, Mr. Chen is still waiting!"

Mr. Su was startled, suddenly coming to his senses.

Yes, Mr. Chen is still waiting! Things have reached this point, she has to lie on that bed whether she wants to or not!

Mr. Su gritted his teeth and hardened his heart to say to Su Xingyu: "Xingyu, don’t blame Dad, you are old enough to be sensible now, you should be making a contribution to the Su Family! Who you marry is the same! Just like when I married your mother, I didn’t love her, and yet we got along fine for five or six years, didn’t we? You shouldn’t be so short-sighted, the most important thing in marriage is not whether you love or not, it’s what you get out of it."

A storm surged in Su Xingyu’s heart.

Her face turned deathly pale, she looked at Mr. Su in disbelief: "What did you say? You... you didn’t love my mom?"

"Is it so strange?" answered by Liu Meizhi’s triumphant voice, "You silly girl, why would Zhongxiao be interested in your mom, that shameless woman? If it hadn’t been for her crying and begging to marry him and bringing a huge dowry, Zhongxiao wouldn’t have married her! The one Zhongxiao loves has always been me, from beginning to end it’s been me! Today, as your stepmother, I’ll teach you a lesson, in marriage, never trust love too much, at least marrying Mr. Chen will ensure you’re never bothered with food or clothing for life, anyone who resists is a fool! Hahaha!"

Beside her, Su Xingqi also chimed in with a few words, but unfortunately, Su Xingyu could no longer listen.

Liu Meizhi’s words kept echoing in her ears: If it hadn’t been for... a large dowry... Zhongxiao wouldn’t have married her!

Suddenly, she understood.

She understood why her parents were married for five or six years, yet she had a sister just two years younger.

Understood why Liu Meizhi burst out laughing on the first day she came through the door saying, "That troublesome light bulb is finally gone."

Understood why at the funeral her father didn’t seem a bit sad, and right after it ended he coaxed her into giving up the jewelry her mother left her...

Turns out, he married her mother just for the money. At that time, Mu Yun was an heiress from a prestigious family, and Su Zhongxiao was just a low-ranking employee at Mu Company. Marrying her allowed him rapid advancement, and indeed, he climbed the corporate ladder quickly, becoming an important senior figure in Mu Company within a few years, holding significant power.

In his moment of triumph, he used the Mu Family’s money to support his mistress and illegitimate daughter...

Su Xingyu suddenly realized everything: "That day, before mom rushed out and got hit by a car, I heard you arguing... she found out about you and Liu Meizhi, didn’t she? It’s you... you killed her!"

"What do you understand!" Mr. Su was furious, having his past revealed, "It’s your mom’s own narrow-mindedness, making trouble without reason!"

"Making trouble without reason?" she murmured, wanting to cry, yet wanting to laugh, which woman could accept her husband’s infidelity?

"What’s the use of talking to her," Liu Meizhi’s voice, "Hurry up and tie her up, Mr. Chen is still waiting!"

Not far away, Mr. Chen was still holding his crotch, grimacing in pain but showing interest: "I didn’t expect your family affairs to be so exciting, haha, so that’s how the once famously noble and graceful Miss Mu died! Quickly, tie her up for me, I can’t wait to taste what Mu Yun’s daughter is like!"

Mr. Su wrapped the rope around Su Xingyu a few times, pulling it tight and tying a knot.

Just as he was about to push her onto the bed, suddenly, the bedroom door was kicked open with force—"Stop everything!"

A thunderous angry shout.

Everyone turned to look, only to see a gray-haired man rush in, a face full of rage: "Let go of Su Xingyu! Release her! Release her!"

"Mr. Chen?!"

"Uncle Chen?"

"Dad!"

Several voices called out simultaneously.

"Didn’t you hear me tell you to let go of Su Xingyu?!" Mr. Chen, seeing no one reacted, pushed aside Mr. Su and Liu Meizhi forcefully, personally untying Su Xingyu, "Miss Su, I truly apologize, Miss Su, this is all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding! Don’t be angry, please don’t be angry, I’ll properly discipline that unfilial son!"

"Dad! What are you talking about?" Mr. Chen’s son asked in confusion, discontentedly, "Didn’t you arrange this marriage for me, now I’m even at the point of no return, and you..."

"Ingrate!" Mr. Chen was furious, turning around to kick him, "Aren’t the troubles you’ve caused enough?!"

"Mr. Su, what’s going on?" Mr. Su was also confused, "Let’s talk it out, you wouldn’t be thinking of backing out of the marriage, would you?" If they backed out, the Su Family would suffer a huge loss, they were counting on using the Chen Family’s cheap logistics to ship goods in the future!

Mr. Chen suddenly looked at him, eyes filled with anger: "Su Zhongxiao! You old fox, you’re trying to ruin us! You really don’t know your daughter’s background, and yet you dared to send her to my son’s bed? Are you deliberately trying to destroy the Chen Family!"

Mr. Su was baffled by those words: "What background could my daughter have?"

"Wait, it couldn’t be..." Mr. Chen’s son reacted quickly, suddenly shocked, that troublesome girl said before that her husband is Lu Shifeng! Seeing his usually composed father so angry, could she be telling the truth?!

Heavens, how unbelievable!

"Shut up! Speak another word, and I’ll disown you!" Mr. Chen was jumping with rage.

Though usually mischievous, Mr. Chen’s son rarely saw his father so furious, and though he didn’t understand, he kept his mouth tightly shut, not daring to utter another word.

Mr. Chen bowed and scraped as he apologized to Su Xingyu: "Miss Su, are you alright? It’s all my fault for failing to teach my son, please forgive us, overlook it, please don’t hold it against us..." he said, slapping his own face a few times.

The loud slaps echoed in the air.

The few others in the room were all dumbstruck, what was going on? The Chen Family might not be top-tier, but they were much more influential than a wealthy household like the Su Family, yet Mr. Chen, head of the household, was taking a slap in front of a young girl?

Could it be...

Su Xingqi suddenly thought of a possibility: "Did you really marry Ouyang Yi?"

Su Xingyu was taken aback, suddenly understanding why Mr. Chen was so frantic, could it be someone had come to save her?

Ouyang Yi, or... Lu Shifeng?
