Chapter 13 Humiliation from Family
Faced with Su Maoshi's repeated questioning, Su Ruan tried to explain several times, but the people opposite her did not give her a chance to explain.
They all glared at her angrily, shouting and hurling insults at her as if she had been condemned as an utterly wicked scoundrel.
"Mom, you know I'm not that kind of person. Can you let me explain?"
Su Ruan turned to Wen Ru for help, recalling the wonderful time they had shared as a family of three when they were children.
For so many years, she has been obedient and well-behaved, studying diligently and becoming their pride and the apple of their eye.
Aside from her insistence on learning painting and starting her own company, which led to some arguments with her parents, she was always their proudest and most obedient daughter.
She would do whatever they asked her to do.
"What's there to explain? The facts are right here. If you still want to be our daughter, kneel down immediately, serve tea to Young Master Jiang, and apologize."
"What?" Su Ruan could hardly believe her ears.
How can you expect your daughter to kneel down and offer tea to a stranger as an apology?
"Mom and Dad, this is not my fault. This man cheated on me first. He betrayed our relationship, which is why I married someone else."
I don't have a gigolo; Gu Jinyuan and I are a legally married couple.
"What did you say?" Wen Ru suddenly stood up and rushed over to grab Su Ruan's arm. Her long nails dug deep into Su Ruan's flesh, causing Su Ruan to wince in pain.
"You actually just married any random man? Who is he?"
Su Ruan didn't know why she saw urgency and panic in Wen Ru's eyes. Was she worried that Wen Ru was being deceived?
Her expression softened, and just as she was about to speak, Su Xin's indifferent voice came over casually.
"Mom, I heard that the man my sister found is a male model at a club. He's a womanizer, who knows how many old women he's served. He's filthy. Only my sister treats him like a treasure..."
"Shut up..." Su Ruan glared coldly at him; she wouldn't allow anyone to insult her.
"You shut up!" Wen Ru slapped Su Ruan across the face, making her ears ring. It was clear how hard the slap was.
"Mom—" Su Ruan called out softly.
"Su Ruan, you have disappointed me greatly. We raised you with great care and gave you the best resources."
How could you degrade yourself like this, marrying such a lowly scumbag without thinking? You must get a divorce right now. I'll have Old Zhang drive you there; you have to get a divorce immediately.
Wen Ru was so angry that her hands trembled, and she kept pushing Su Ruan away.
Su Ruan stood stubbornly in place, "Mom, what I said is true. Jiang Siyan slept with another woman; he betrayed our relationship."
Those rich kids are all unreliable. My current husband may not have power or influence, but he's devoted to me. I will not divorce him.
This was the third time Su Ruan had disobeyed them, and Su Maoshi and Wen Ru exchanged a glance.
Although this girl is obedient, once she sets her mind on something, she will not compromise, no matter if she is locked up or deprived of food and water, even if she is about to die.
Who exactly influenced her thinking this time?
After controlling her for so many years, how could she still find a loophole to escape? Where exactly did things go wrong?
Su Maoshi coughed lightly twice, his expression softening, and slowly spoke.
"Xiao Ruan, your parents know your character. But marriage is not a decision that a child like you can make."
Young Master Jiang is deeply in love with you, considerate and thoughtful, and doesn't even care about the absurd thing you did this time. How could you hurt him like this?
What capable man doesn't have affairs? Is it really worth fussing over such a small thing?
Listen to your father, quickly divorce that filthy wretch. Young Master Jiang said he'll cover this up, and as long as you come back to him, our two families will hold an engagement ceremony in a week.
"Then you'll be Mrs. Jiang, the most glamorous woman in Beijing, enjoying endless blessings for the rest of your life."
Wen Ru softened her tone and touched Su Ruan's face.
"Xiao Ruan, does it hurt? Don't blame Mom for hitting you. Mom only does it because she loves you deeply and is very strict with you. Mom doesn't want you to be deceived and led astray."
Your relationship with Young Master Jiang is so good, and your mother is very gratified to see you two so happy. You can't be so heartless as to hurt him just because he made a small mistake.
Look at the injuries on Young Master Jiang's face! You've beaten him up so badly! Still not venting your anger?
Listen to your mother's advice: a woman's best future is to marry a good husband who is virtuous, generous, gentle, and considerate, and who doesn't fuss over his little affairs outside the marriage.
Listen to your mother, go back and get a divorce right now. Mom will go with you to choose your wedding dress tomorrow, okay?
Su Ruan stood there in a daze, shocked by her parents' attempts to gloss over the situation.
Is that correct?
The values taught by teachers in school are not like this.
Even if she had no life experience, she knew that parents who truly love their children shouldn't be so eager to send their daughter into the lion's den.
Why?
For the first time, Su Ruan began to doubt her adoptive parents' deep love for their daughter.
Seeing that Su Ruan remained silent for a long time, Su Xin thought that she had really been persuaded by her parents and was going to change her mind and return to Jiang Siyan's side.
She would never allow such a thing to happen; Jiang Siyan could only be her husband.
Su Xin bit her lip and shook Su Maoshi's arm, acting coquettishly.
"Dad, who is your real daughter? Why are you and Mom so good to my sister?"
Since my sister is married, why should we still care about her? Can't you look at me? I'm twenty-two too, I want to get married too!
When are you going to find me a husband as outstanding as Brother Siyan?
Su Maoshi turned his head, affectionately patted his daughter's head, and whispered.
"Of course, Dad and Mom love Xiaoxin the most. We just found you and naturally feel very sorry for you. We never planned to let you get married."
"Once we find you an obedient husband who will marry into the family, all of the Su family's assets and companies will be yours. You can then become a decisive and efficient female CEO, okay?"
What's so good about it?
It's not good at all.
Su Xin secretly curled her lip.
She doesn't want to be a female CEO, spending all her time in meetings and working herself to the bone. What's the point?
It would be better to marry a wealthy husband and become a rich wife, drinking tea and chatting every day, attending various banquets and auctions, with a husband working himself to the bone to support her.
Why does she have to work so hard for herself?
A person's life is only a little over 30,000 days, so the most important thing is to enjoy life while you can.
She swayed her body again, pouting in dissatisfaction.
"Dad—I don't want to be a son-in-law; I want to marry a man like Brother Siyan..."
Su Xin turned her eyes to look at Jiang Siyan. Such a handsome man was also the future head of the Jiang family, controlling the livelihoods and destinies of hundreds of thousands of people in the group.
Only a man as outstanding as him is worthy of Su Xin.
She didn't want a pretty boy who would marry into her family.
Jiang Siyan felt Su Xin's gaze and her increasingly explicit words. He glared at her fiercely, reminding Su Xin to restrain her words and actions.
Su Xin caught Jiang Siyan's gaze and suddenly remembered that when Jiang Siyan agreed to be with her, he said that Su Ruan should not know about their relationship.
Otherwise, if it damages his image and reputation, he will never forgive her.
He will never marry her in the future.
Su Xin was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and dared not say another word.
Su Ruan was passively pulled by Wen Ru to sit on the sofa next to Jiang Siyan. She knew she would never forgive this man.
But at the same time, she shouldn't let her parents worry about her anymore; if she continues, it will involve Su Xin.
Parents would be extremely distressed and remorseful if they knew that their own daughter had stolen her sister's fiancé and slept with him.
Since they couldn't persuade their parents, they decided to try working on Jiang Siyan.
She will definitely find a way to make Jiang Siyan back down.
