Chapter 23 Repayment of Money
The father and son were in complete agreement when it came to emptying the Wen family's coffers.
At Su Junyao's prompting, Qiao Muyang looked longingly at the Wen family.
This is something the Su family children should learn from: they ask for a favor but don't say it out loud, and they use vivid emotions to influence you.
Chiu Chiu couldn't see clearly, so she struggled to lift her little hand and turned her head towards Qiao Muyang, signaling her father to quickly pick her up.
"Dad, hurry, or you won't be able to see it anymore."
The male protagonist in the novel is broken and pitiful; just one look at him makes you want to give him the best things in the world.
It was through this ability that she was able to take over the entire Wenyang Marquis's mansion. Her two uncles willingly handed over their property without even a fight.
Su Junyao couldn't understand why Qiuqiu was so fixated on watching Qiao Muyang, just because he was the male lead?
My dear daughter, your brothers are much better looking than this boy!
The little girl's voice grew increasingly anxious: "[Such an absolute gigolo is rare these days, I want to see him alive!]"
Su Junyao: “…”
Su Junyao couldn't bring himself to sit there and watch the spectacle unfold. If he did, he'd become the biggest laughingstock in Beijing tomorrow.
The shameless Su Xiucheng has made his move!
He calmly walked forward, awkwardly took Qiuqiu, and whispered in Qiuqiu's ear, "Come on, Fourth Brother will take you to see the excitement."
【Yay! I love Fourth Brother the most! Mua!】
Su Xiucheng: "Waaaaah, my little sister is the cutest!"
Qiao Muyang: "..." Is no one going to speak up for me?
As it turns out, not only did no one speak up for him, but some people were also dedicated to making him a laughingstock.
After Jiujiu's reminder, Qiao Muyang realized that this behavior was just living off the Wenyang Marquis Mansion!
Adults have their reservations, but what do kids know? They just want to join in the fun!
Qiao Muyang met the two round faces in front of him, his expression of weakness froze, and he stared blankly at the two people in front of him.
The larger one's gaze softened, while the smaller one remained unrestrained!
He felt like a monkey performing on the street...
【Huh, they've stopped pretending to be pitiful?】
[Crying!]
Su Xiucheng, acting as a messenger, relayed Qiuqiu's words in their entirety: "When begging for help, you have to be tearful to elicit sympathy."
Qiao Muyang looks like Zheng Xiulan, with a somewhat feminine air about him. In particular, despite being a man, he has a pair of watery eyes, which are most pitiful when they are about to cry.
He hated it most when people brought this up, and Su Xiucheng's words undoubtedly hit a nerve. He looked up and stared at Su Xiucheng and Qiuqiu's round faces, which resembled each other by a third, clenching his fists as if he were about to violently attack someone.
"It's just a mere ten thousand taels of silver, why humiliate me like this!"
Su Xiucheng: "?"
"If I'm not going to humiliate you, then pay me back the money."
All that talk is just a pretense of not wanting to pay back the money. The thought of Qiao Muyang's usual aloof scholar persona at the academy, his supposed noble and unyielding spirit, makes him want to vomit.
Stop pretending!
They actually took so much money from their family!
A sweet, childlike voice chirped in a cool, arrogant tone: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young person's potential!"
Qiao Muyang immediately stood up, put one hand behind his back, and looked around with an arrogant expression: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"
"Ah, I'm so smart, I guessed right! That's exactly what down-on-his-luck male leads like to say."
【Chirp is the villain now, what else can I say?】
The baby's delicate eyebrows furrowed together, clearly struggling with what harsh words to say to scare the other person.
Su Jingwen: "Then pay me back!"
Qiao Muyang, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly blushed and said, "You, you all..." How ruthless!
Wow, Third Brother is amazing!
One sentence can cause someone a lifetime of suffering!
I learned it, I learned it!
Qiao Muyang was caught in a dilemma. He looked to Madam Wen for help, and this time he truly bowed his head.
When their eyes met, Wen looked away and even loosened her arms around Zheng Xiulan.
She trembled and tried to fake fainting. All she had in her possession was thirteen thousand taels of silver! This was going to kill her!
Seeing that Wen remained silent, Qiao Muyang bit his tongue, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth. He pointed at the weakest being—Chirp Chirp—and said somberly, "You're ruthless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body trembled and he fainted.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Xiulan immediately rushed over and lay on Qiao Muyang's body, this time she really cried.
She hugged Qiao Muyang and turned to Wen Shi, crying, "Aunt, are you really going to force Muyang to his death for this little bit of money? If anything happens to Muyang, I won't live either!"
"You, the Marquis Wenyang Mansion, are so oppressive. We, mother and son, would rather die!"
The entire room fell silent; they had never seen such a shameless person before!
Wen's face showed a conflicted look, which made Wen Yanghou and Su Junyao frown. Was she really going to pay this money for nothing?
Zheng Xiulan called out again, "Auntie!"
The shrill, mad female voice startled Wen, and her already frail body looked like it was about to collapse.
Liu Yueyao rolled her eyes. In any case, it was Zhonggong's money. If the old lady didn't pay this money, the third branch of the family would not suffer any loss and could even watch Zheng Shi make a fool of herself. But if she paid this money, the third branch of the family could get a raise in their monthly wages and could still make the old lady and Zheng Shi and her son laugh at them.
Guaranteed profit!
She crossed her arms and said sarcastically, "Mom, please don't make Mu Yang angry to death. He has great potential. Just give him 13,000 taels and think of it as buying a future number one scholar."
On one side was her niece, who was crying and begging her for money; on the other side was her daughter-in-law, who was being sarcastic and trying to drive her crazy. Wen felt a throbbing headache.
"Aunt, please save Mu Yang and me!"
"Mom, get the money!"
"Help me!"
"Pay!"
"..."
"Enough!"
Wen shouted loudly and smashed everything he could get his hands on.
"Are you guys going to force me to death?"
Liu Yueyao curled her lips. Isn’t it just death?
If you can die, who's still alive!
Her eyes were filled with contempt and hatred as she looked at Zheng Xiulan and her son. "Then, Mother, will you pay me back?"
"Money, money, money! All you ever think about is money!"
Liu Yueyao retorted, "I come from a humble family, I'm not respectable, I only care about people, not money."
"Didn't Mother say that?" She broke free from Su Wenqi's hand and said sarcastically to Madam Wen, "In the end, it's all because you love money!"
Wen's mental state reached its limit, and he roared, "I'll pay!"
【Pah!】
Su Xiucheng and Su Jingwen hurriedly covered Jiujiu's mouth. What this little fool said at this time made them almost laugh out loud.
Jiujiu was still in a daze and had no idea that she was going to become a wealthy woman at such a young age.
[I'm hungry, I miss my mom, I want milk, I want three pots!]
Mrs. Wen sat there dejectedly, muttering, "I'll pay for this money."
"Fine, I'll pay!"
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Su Junyao picked up Qiuqiu and left, not forgetting to tell his father, who was also furious, "You should make it clear to Mother that you shouldn't ruin my reputation. I'm a clean and honest man, and I have my pride too!"
Wen Yanghou squinted at him: "..."
Why do I feel like he is the only shameless person in the family?
