Chapter 170: Soft-hearted
Teacher Yan's face was filled with helplessness and bitterness. His lips trembled slightly, and he said with a hint of despair and unwillingness in his voice: "I... really have no other choice?"
In fact, Yan Jiaoyu was very clear about Chu Ci's good intentions, and he also knew that what Chu Ci said was true.
However, the reality was extremely cruel. Even though he was Su Jinghua's uncle, he knew that he could not really interfere in the affairs of the Su family in the face of the complex and powerful forces of the Su family.
Chu Ci shook his head slowly, then turned his head and cast his gaze on Su Jinghua lying on the bed, "Su Jinghua, I understand that you are protecting the Su family."
"But while you were protecting the Su family, did you ever seriously think about your mother and the women in the Su family who were helpless and had tragic fates?"
When Su Jinghua heard this, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
However, he still responded stubbornly: "They are daughters of the Su family and should dedicate themselves to the Su family. This is their destined duty since they were born into the Su family. There is nothing wrong with it."
Su Jinghua's words made Chu Ci feel his blood boiling and he almost fainted.
Chu Ci was prepared that Su Jinghua would protect his family.
But she had never expected that Su Jinghua would take the Su family's unfair and even cruel actions for granted.
"Really?" Chu Ci looked at Su Jinghua with a look of contempt and said slowly, "Student Su is now at this age. I think the elders of the Su family should have started to urge him to get married, right?"
Then he changed the subject, "Since you have such thoughts and think that dedicating everything to the Su family is a matter of course, then why did you use the relationship with Teacher Yan to hide in this government school?"
"Shouldn't you stay in the Su family obediently, work hard to sow seeds and reproduce, so as to expand your Su family and fulfill your responsibilities as a member of the Su family?"
Chu Ci's sharp words were like a sword, piercing Su Jinghua's heart.
Su Jinghua's face flushed red, and he shouted in anger: "You, you are a headmaster, and you are so unreasonable——"
Teacher Yan, who was standing by, was extremely anxious when he saw the two of them suddenly confronting each other, fearing that his nephew would make the slightest mistake.
After all, his nephew is his sister's lifeblood!
If anything happened to his nephew, he didn't know how to explain to his sister.
At this time, beads of sweat had already appeared on Teacher Yan's forehead.
After repeated consideration, Yan Jiaoyu finally placed his hopes on Chu Ci. "Headmaster Chu, Jinghua is still just a young boy who has not experienced much of the world. He still doesn't fully understand many things. I hope you will be magnanimous and not be too picky with him."
As Teacher Yan said this, he nervously watched the reactions of the two.
He prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that Chu Ci would consider his situation and not provoke Su Jinghua again.
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then said: "Master Yan, you are indeed an excellent uncle."
After saying this, he turned to look at Su Jinghua again and said slowly: "Before, Mr. Su was frightened in my courtyard. Now that I have rescued you, we are even. So, I will take my leave now."
After saying that, Chu Ci turned around and prepared to leave, leaving behind Su Jinghua with a complicated expression and Yan Jiaoyu with a helpless look on his face.
Chu Ci returned to the "Women's College" and was immediately surrounded by a group of people as soon as she stepped into the gate.
Everyone's face was filled with anxiety and concern, and they couldn't wait to ask, "Sister-in-law (sister-in-law, headmaster), are you okay?"
As they spoke, the Fan sisters hurriedly pulled Chu Ci over and carefully examined him from head to toe. Seeing that Chu Ci was indeed safe and sound without any injuries, they breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were somewhat at ease.
Soon after, they also had some thoughts and began to ask about Su Jinghua: "What is the situation of that person? Is it as we suspected?"
Chu Ci picks and chooses, and expresses everything that can be expressed in words.
Naturally, the article emphasizes Su Jinghua's identity and his current recovery situation.
Even so, when he heard about the Su family, Taoist Yunshang couldn't help but frown, and his expression became more solemn.
However, before he could open his mouth, Chu Ci gave him a look, and he stopped talking and quietly disappeared into the crowd.
After all the gentlemen were properly comforted, he returned to Chu Ci's exclusive office.
At this moment, only Chu Ci, Yuan Niang and the Fan sisters are left.
Taoist Master Yunshang paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Master, the Su family is a family that places great emphasis on power and inheritance."
"Regarding Su Jinghua's affairs, there is no way to hide them."
"By then, based on the Su family's behavior, they might resort to various means to put pressure on us. Not only you, I'm afraid the 'Women's College' and even the 'Premarital Training' are all part of the Su family's plan."
"We—have to be on guard!"
"I know, so I need your help, Taoist priest."
Upon hearing this, both the three Fan sisters and Yuanniang turned their gazes towards Chu Ci.
Chu Ci's face was solemn. He nodded slightly and said, "I have actually considered these situations carefully. Although Su Jinghua is indeed an innocent person at the moment, if... there is no guarantee that he will not become the next head of the Su family in the future."
Taoist Master Yunshang was still considering the appropriate words.
Qianxue asked without hesitation, "Sister-in-law, are you soft-hearted again?"
Chu Ci's expression was exceptionally determined.
Without missing a beat, he said bluntly, "I simply cannot, while I still have the ability, watch young girls, one after another, step into the fire pit just because of the selfishness of some people and do nothing."
As soon as Chu Ci said this, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Yun Shang frowned slightly, a look of worry on his face breaking the heavy atmosphere. He said slowly, "Boss, you have to know that if you continue like this, over time, you will easily be plotted against by someone with ulterior motives."
"I know, that's why I need your help." Chu Ci did not deny what Taoist Yun Shang said and emphasized it again.
It was because Chu Ci was very clear about the seriousness of the matter, but she also believed that she was not a tactless, soft-hearted person.
Then, she solemnly stated her plan, and finally said, "So whether it's Su Jinghua or those poor women in the Su family, we must not take any initiative to take any action."
"We need to wait! When the Su family comes to visit us, we can then take the initiative."
