Su Rou was startled by her mother's agitation. "I was just asking casually, why are you being so fierce, Mom?"
Li Xuemei should realize that she has lost control. She grabbed Su Rou's hand and said, "You are my only daughter. You must make me proud and return to the entertainment industry."
The Su family is no longer reliable, and Su Jianguo is also useless. The worthless antiques in the villa won't fetch much money.
She was getting old and had no one to rely on but Su Rou.
Su Rou also wants to go back to the entertainment industry, but her reputation is now ruined, and even Zhou Li has abandoned her. Without her agency to support her, she has no chance of making it big.
The thought of the bleak future that lay ahead filled Su Rou with utter despair.
“Su Xi, she…”
Thinking of the mission she was entrusted with, Su Rou steeled her heart and brought up Su Xi again, "Since she is a member of our Su family, she certainly won't try to kill us all."
Mom, I know you hate Su Xi because of me, but she is our family's savior now. No one else can save us except her.
"If you can't lower yourself, I'll go to her, I'll beg her. Surely her heart isn't made of stone; she won't just stand by and watch us die."
Li Xuemei's face was very serious; she knew Su Rou was right.
The fact that things have developed to this point is entirely due to Su Xi's manipulation.
Apart from Su Xi, there is really no one who can save them.
She couldn't bring herself to lower herself to beg that bitch.
Su Rou took her arm again and said tactfully, "Su Xi seems to be doubting her own identity. Does she think she's not a child of the Su family, which is why she's so heartless towards us?"
Li Xuemei's expression changed repeatedly.
Su Xi, that little slut.
They actually went to get a paternity test.
Fortunately, the result was fine; otherwise, she might have ended up like Su Jianguo.
"Mom, I'm your daughter. Just tell me the truth, does Su Xi have a problem?" Su Rou asked again.
Li Xuemei frowned, her voice rising a few decibels, "Why are you asking this again? What's wrong with you today?"
Seeing that she wouldn't say anything no matter what, Su Rou didn't dare to ask any further.
Li Xuemei has a fiery temper and is tight-lipped; asking her questions like this will only make her angry.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore." Su Rou massaged her shoulders and said obediently, "Anyway, whether it's true or not, Mom still loves me the most."
As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps came from outside. The mother and daughter both turned to look at the door. Su Xi was leaning against the door, her posture both aloof and nonchalant.
"Ms. Li, how does it feel to fall from heaven to the bottom?"
The woman who was once high and mighty has aged considerably overnight, losing all her former strength and harshness.
At this moment, he resembled an old man approaching the end of his life, his face full of vicissitudes.
Upon seeing Su Xi, Li Xuemei immediately lost control of her emotions. She rolled up her sleeves, gritted her teeth, and prepared to teach her a lesson, "You heartless little bitch, how dare you come back?"
"Mom, please don't do this!" Having experienced last night, Su Rou knew that Su Xi was no ordinary person.
If they provoke Su Xi now, they and their mother will suffer even worse consequences.
Seeing Li Xuemei rush over, she quickly chased after her to stop her, saying, "Su Xi has powerful backers; we can't afford to offend her."
"What powerful backer? It's just that prodigal son of the Zhou family."
Li Xuemei was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it when Su Xi appeared, which only made the fire burn even brighter.
Yesterday, Zhou Jingming embarrassed her in front of so many people, and then kicked her several times. If she hadn't been so strong, she might have been crippled.
She still feels terrible all over, and if it weren't for the noise upstairs keeping her awake, she would have wanted to lie down long ago.
Su Rou knew that if she didn't reveal Su Xi's identity, Li Xuemei would definitely cause trouble.
With a determined look in her eyes, she leaned close to her ear and said, "Su Xi has met the Thousand Nights Pavilion Master of Fengxiang Pavilion without anyone knowing. Last night, those people captured me and took me to Fengxiang Pavilion. They tortured me in all sorts of ways, making me wish I were dead. If we continue to offend Su Xi, we won't have a good outcome."
"What Fengxiang Pavilion? I've never even heard of it." Li Xuemei didn't take this organization seriously and continued to glare fiercely at Su Xi.
Su Rou had checked the information in the morning and had a general understanding of Fengxiang Pavilion. She took out her phone and showed it to Li Xuemei, "It's this Fengxiang Pavilion, a mysterious organization that maintains international stability. Whenever there are tasks that the higher-ups can't handle, Fengxiang Pavilion will step in to help resolve them."
"Mom, you have no idea how I got through last night. Everyone there is a devil, trying every possible way to torture me. Even when I fainted, they immediately splashed ice water on me to wake me up."
"The most terrifying thing is that their torture instruments can beat people without drawing blood, yet make them wish they were dead. Just thinking about the methods those people use makes me wake up in fear from my dreams."
After reading the introduction of Fengxiang Pavilion, Li Xuemei's expression changed repeatedly. "How could such a powerful organization be involved with Su Xi?"
Su Rou didn't know either. All she knew was that those people were protecting Su Xi, and now that they were going against Su Xi, they would definitely die a terrible death.
She didn't want to go to Fengxiang Pavilion a second time; that would cost her her life.
"It seems Ms. Li hasn't been abused enough; she hasn't tasted the bitterness of despair." Su Xi walked in with her arms crossed, the smile on her lips not reaching her eyes.
Li Xuemei stood frozen in place, her hands stiff and afraid to move.
Su Xi has been in Kyoto all these years and has never left the city. How could she know such a huge organization?
No wonder she dared to oppose the Su family time and time again.
It turns out that it wasn't because of Zhou Jingming's protection, but because of Fengxiang Pavilion.
"Xi'er, Mom knows she was wrong, please forgive Mom." Su Rou lowered herself and begged Su Xi in order to save her life.
Knowing that Su Xi has such powerful backing, she would never dare to provoke Su Xi, even if it meant being beaten to death.
This was the first time Su Xi had seen Su Rou so humble. It seemed that yesterday's lesson had taught her a lesson.
"You want my forgiveness?" Su Xi took a step forward, staring at Li Xuemei's terrified face, and raised her lips. "It's not impossible."
"Xi'er, I knew we were family, you wouldn't be so heartless to us." Su Rou thought her words had worked and was secretly delighted.
To everyone's surprise, Su Xi sneered, "Go kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights first."
Su Rou's face turned ashen.
Li Xuemei clenched her fists even tighter, glaring at Su Xi with a ferocious expression.
"It seems Ms. Li is unwilling." Su Xi sighed softly. "In that case, I'll come and collect what belongs to me today. Ms. Li shouldn't have any objections, right?"
"What else do you have in this house?!" Li Xuemei suppressed her anger, her chest tight, and hot breath coming out of her nostrils.
Su Rou is right. Su Xi is not the same as before. Going against her will not end well.
Su Xi pointed to the living room, "This, these, over there, and those, they're all mine."
Each time she pointed to something, Li Xuemei's expression darkened.
Finally, Su Xi smiled kindly, "This house now belongs to me. Ms. Li, will you leave on your own, or should I send someone to invite you?"
