As soon as she finished speaking, Su Rou's voice flowed from the phone.
I didn't do those things. My mom punished Su Xi because she felt sorry for me. If you want to avenge Su Xi, go find her.
[She didn't want Su Xi to steal my thunder, so she's been targeting Su Xi behind her back, deliberately hiring online trolls to spread negative rumors about Su Xi. I'm a victim too, you have to believe me.]
As soon as Su Rou finished speaking, a mechanical female voice sounded: [How did you get lost back then?]
Others couldn't recognize the voice, but Su Xi knew it perfectly well.
To protect herself, Su Rou confessed everything: "I was jealous of Su Xi, so I deliberately took her out of the amusement park intending to abandon her. But I didn't expect that Su Xi would be unharmed, while I would be targeted by human traffickers."
A question rang out: "How did you escape from human traffickers, and how did you get to the orphanage?"
[The traffickers tried to snatch other children but failed. An argument ensued with the families, and I took advantage of the chaos to escape. I was only eight years old at the time and had no idea how to get home. I also fainted from extreme hunger. When I woke up, I was already in an orphanage.]
At this point, Su Rou's voice was filled with hatred: "Back then, I told myself I had to make Su Xi suffer, I would never let her get away with it. So I stayed in the orphanage looking for an opportunity, just so I could one day trample Su Xi under my feet! I also knew about the Su family's search for their relatives, but I deliberately didn't go home, so my parents would worry and hate Su Xi even more."
[In fact, I did it. Su Xi became a sinner and suffered endless abuse from her family. I, on the other hand, was my mother's precious darling. Whatever I wanted, she would stop at nothing, even murder, to get it for me.]
[If it weren't for that damned Su Xi's good fortune in hooking up with Zhou Jingming, how could she possibly have her current status and position? All of this is mine, all of it is mine. What right does Su Xi have to have it?]
As she spoke, Su Rou became increasingly agitated and revealed the whole truth.
Li Xuemei's face was deathly pale.
Unable to bear it any longer, he was so angry that he vomited blood.
Su Xi turned off her phone, bent down and stared into her desperate eyes, "Your beloved daughter, whom you've always cherished, reacts by pulling you out to take the fall when something happens."
"Ms. Li, to be honest, I really feel sorry for you!"
Li Xuemei's eyes rolled back as she weakly pointed at Su Xi and yelled, "Where did you take Rou'er? You... Pfft!"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out.
Having achieved her goal, Su Xi turned her gaze to the reporter and spoke in a cool tone.
"I believe everyone has heard the recording and understands the whole story. I, Su Xi, did not lose Su Rou. It was she who harbored ill intentions and wanted to deal with me, which led to this trouble."
“Over the years, Ms. Li has abused and tormented me in various ways because of Su Rou’s affair, and even suppressed and bullied my future. A woman with such a cruel and vicious heart is not worthy of being a mother.”
Her voice was bright and clear, echoing in the room.
"Here, I would like to ask everyone present to witness that I, Su Xi, am severing all ties with the Su family from today onwards. From now on, everything related to the Su family will have nothing to do with me."
Zhou Jingming stood beside her, his strong arm holding her hand tightly.
The two grew up together, and he witnessed all the hardships Su Xi had endured.
In the past, he was powerless and could not intervene in some matters directly, so he could only silently stay by her side and protect her.
Now, he is her husband, and he can rightfully be her support.
But he also knew that, given her status as the head of Fengxiang Pavilion, she didn't need anyone's protection.
However, he didn't care. Whenever she needed him, he would be there for her immediately, becoming her biggest support.
Zhou Jingming's gaze fell deeply on Su Xi. She stood in the crowd, so slender and tall, her delicate face revealing aloofness and indifference.
And it was this seemingly frail body that was able to shoulder the entire responsibility of Fengxiang Pavilion.
How much suffering has she endured over the years to get to where she is today?
At that moment, Zhou Jingming felt an overwhelming pang of heartache and couldn't help but pull her into his arms, holding her small body tightly in his embrace.
Then, he looked up and announced to the public, "From today onwards, my Zhou family is Su Xi's family. Anyone who dares to bully my wife will suffer the same fate as the Su family today!"
That sinister remark made everyone shrink back.
The people present were all celebrities and dignitaries, many of whom had dealings with the entertainment industry. Su Xi, as a nobody with a lot of scandals and no fame, was naturally not within their scope of cooperation.
But now, this woman, who was disliked by everyone, has actually taken over the entire Su Group and is still favored by Zhou Jingming.
Who dares to mess with her?
Who complains about living too long?
Suddenly, a commotion arose from the crowd.
A group of police officers rushed in.
The lead officer showed his police ID and said to Mr. and Mrs. Wang, "The Wang family is suspected of drug smuggling and trafficking. This is an arrest warrant. Take them away."
“The Wang family is the Wang family, and I am me. This is none of my business.”
Mr. Wang's wife screamed.
The police didn't give her a chance to speak and forcibly took her away.
Before leaving, the police glanced at the messy scene, nodded to Zhou Jingming, and quickly retreated with their men.
This action might go unnoticed, but Su Xi saw it clearly; these police officers obviously knew Zhou Jingming.
They also held Zhou Jingming in a different kind of respect.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go, leave this mess to Si Nan to handle." Zhou Jingming pulled her outside.
By the time Su Xi came to her senses, she had already been dragged out.
The reporters continued to film Li Xuemei and Su Jianguo's disgraceful behavior, as well as the three mistresses and seven illegitimate children who barged in and started fighting again.
The scene was chaotic, filled with the sounds of women screaming and punches and kicks.
...
"I never expected my wife to be so capable, managing to take over the Su Group without anyone noticing. From now on, shouldn't I start calling you President Su?"
As soon as they entered the elevator, Zhou Jingming became audacious, forcing Su Xi against the wall.
His slender fingertips brushed across her face, finally landing on her chin, where he easily pinched and lifted it.
Su Xi shed her previous aloof demeanor and instantly transformed into a charming young woman. "What strength? I just seized the opportunity and bought up the shares that were being sold off at a low price. The Su Group is a complete mess right now. The stock price plummeted to its lowest point, and I didn't spend much money."
"Is that so?"
Zhou Jingming lowered his handsome face, squinted at her, and his hot breath brushed against her ear, his intentional or unintentional teasing suddenly making the atmosphere ambiguous.
Su Xi tugged at the man's tie, biting her lip and smiling seductively, "Of course it's true, but my husband did a good job tonight, so here's a reward for you."
After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
