Chapter 69: Drawing the Fire from Underground
After seeing Su Peipei off, the Shu family sat down together again.
"Dad, how could you agree to that? I have absolutely no relationship with that woman. I've only met her once," Shu Bowen explained anxiously.
"What can I do if I don't agree? Let her make a scene at home, escalate the situation, and make things uncontrollable? What good will that do for our family?"
"Well, you can't just sacrifice my happiness like this," Shu Bowen said stubbornly, then stammered.
Shu Zhendong looked at his son with disdain, "Tell me properly, what's going on between you and her?"
Shu Zhendong actually believed in Shu Bowen's character; he knew his own son's capabilities.
"I really only met her once, that day..." Shu Bowen spoke eloquently, recounting the encounter in detail once more.
"And then?" Shu Zhendong continued to ask.
"That's all. Oh, and a few days ago, she suddenly came to my workshop and got arrested. The security guards said she came to see me, but I didn't go to see her. I even told the security guards that I didn't know her and asked them to investigate her thoroughly. Could she be taking revenge on me?" Shu Bowen asked with a look of surprise.
"Is that so? Why didn't you tell me when you came back?" Xu Xiuyun asked.
"It's not a big deal," Shu Bowen said weakly.
"You need to be more careful," Xu Xiuyun glared at Shu Bowen with exasperation, then turned to Shu Zhendong, "Zhendong, what are you planning to do?"
"Send him to the countryside to avoid trouble." Shu Zhendong dropped a bombshell.
“Go to the countryside? Surely not.” Xu Xiuyun raised her voice eight octaves, clearly disapproving.
"Otherwise, what can you do? That girl is obviously shameless and willing to go all out. If she really clings to Bowen, we won't be able to clear things up at all. This is a matter of conduct, and Bowen will just have to suffer in silence."
When Shu Zhendong heard Su Peipei say that she had a relationship with Shu Bowen and might be pregnant, he made a decision in his heart: first, to appease Su Peipei, and then to immediately send Shu Bowen to the countryside.
Later, after hearing her introduce her family, he suddenly remembered that this was the same family that had recently caused a huge scene at the machinery factory, resorting to any means to covet the compensation money left by Su Eryong and his wife.
I never imagined that Su Peipei was also from that family. Sure enough, there's no good in that family. This kind of woman is just after his family's wealth.
If she's so capable, she should chase him all the way to the countryside. If she really could give up everything and go after him, he would look at her with more respect.
"Oh dear, what kind of mess is this?" Xu Xiuyun clutched her chest, furious. "When will our son be back?"
"We'll see when the time comes. Alright, hurry up and eat dinner, I'm starving." Shu Zhendong stood up, but in his heart he was thinking about finding someone to investigate Su Peipei properly. Based on his conversation with her and his wife and son's accounts, he felt that she seemed to know a lot about their family, and there was something sinister about her.
"Eating? You still have the appetite to eat?"
"Otherwise, I still need to go out and find someone to take care of this after I finish eating, so hurry up."
In short, Xu Xiuyun was deflated. Although she didn't want her son to go to the countryside, it was still better than marrying that little vixen.
As for whether her son could come back after she went to the countryside, she wasn't worried. If that woman still didn't stop after a while, she would use her connections to transfer her son directly to the capital.
Shu Bowen was annoyed and frustrated to see his parents decide his destination with just a few words, but he had no choice but to obey.
Why……
