Chapter 76 Unexpectedly, the unfilial one was actually her.
“Niannian, your parents work hard from dawn till dusk every day to support your college education. How could you hurt us like this?”
Li Xiumei's face was filled with grief.
Her voice was filled with sobs.
She looked every bit the part of a mother heartbroken by her daughter.
Su Niannian watched her put on an act with cold eyes.
He said coldly, "Have you ever given me a single day's support? Don't you find your own words ridiculous?"
Wasn't it her who hid her university admission letter back then?
How could she be so brazen in public?
From elementary school onwards, she would often rummage through trash cans to save money for tuition.
Then take the collected recyclables and bottles to the recycling station to sell.
University students often take on several part-time jobs during their spare time.
Every penny she earned was through her hard work.
How did it all suddenly become Li Xiumei's achievement?
Li Xiumei gritted her teeth secretly. If it weren't for the money, she wouldn't have lowered herself to that lowly girl.
She said with a worried look on her face, "Niannian, you've really hurt my feelings. If you're afraid we'll embarrass you, I'll just leave with your dad. How can you question me like this!"
Su Niannian didn't want to pay attention to her anymore: "You're just being unreasonable. Ali, pull her aside, let's go."
The driver gripped Li Xiumei's arm, trying to pull her away with slight force.
“When people are poor, they are bullied. Her own daughter actually sent the driver to bully her own mother.” Li Xiumei immediately started wailing loudly.
Her voice was quite loud.
Naturally, the surrounding pedestrians could hear it clearly.
Unaware of what was going on, passersby saw Li Xiumei dressed simply, with an aged face and a sorrowful expression.
I couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
"You look so quiet and gentle, how come you say such hurtful things? Did your mother have a hard time raising you? How can you disown your parents just because you think they are poor?"
"These days, it's best not to spoil your children too much, or you'll raise an ungrateful child. Look at you, dressed in high-end clothes and driving a car worth millions, yet you're so heartless towards your own mother. She came to visit you with good intentions, but you looked down on them because they were poor and turned your parents away. It's just too much."
Ali turned around and glared fiercely at the gossipy people.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Our young mistress is not like that at all."
The people living here are all wealthy, so naturally they don't take him, a mere driver, seriously.
"Why are you being so fierce? Do you want to be an accomplice to people who don't understand filial piety and brotherly love?"
Li Xiumei said in a pretentious tone, "Alright, it's not worth offending others for my sake."
"Don't worry, ma'am, we'll stand up for you if we see this."
"You should apologize to your mother right away, and then take your parents home to be filial to them."
“If you don’t repent, I will post your behavior online and expose you as an unfilial daughter.”
These unfounded accusations flooded into Su Niannian's ears like a tidal wave from all directions.
Sharp and piercing.
Su Niannian clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms without her noticing.
They don't know the truth.
Based solely on Li Xiumei's distorted and contradictory statements, they easily labeled her and made unwarranted accusations against her.
But she was too tongue-tied; even trembling with anger, she couldn't find the words to express her reasoning.
Just then.
Suddenly, a loud screech of brakes filled the air.
A black Maybach was parked across Su Niannian's car.
A leg encased in black suit trousers stepped out of the car.
Then, a tall figure appeared in Su Niannian's field of vision.
Gu Yuheng walked hurriedly to Su Niannian's car, looked through the half-open window, and gently touched her face to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Su Niannian's eyes instantly reddened.
She instinctively grabbed Gu Yuheng's hand and wouldn't let go.
It felt as if I could draw a sense of security from his skin.
When Li Xiumei met Gu Yuheng, she realized he was truly wealthy, and unlike last time, she no longer thought he was just someone Su Niannian had hired to act.
With a fawning expression, she said, "You must be Niannian's boyfriend, right? We had a bit of a misunderstanding last time, please don't mind."
Gu Yuheng's expression was cold: "I have nothing to talk to you about."
The words were spoken.
The onlookers started discussing it enthusiastically again.
Gu Yuheng turned his gaze to the people in front of him, his face cold and his voice devoid of warmth.
"Do you know anything about my wife's family? You're jumping to conclusions based on just one side of the story."
Some of them recognized Gu Yuheng.
So it was Mrs. Gu in the car. Luckily, she didn't say anything.
Seeing Gu Yuheng's gloomy face, she wanted to leave quietly so as not to cause any more trouble.
Gu Yuheng glanced at Ali.
Ali understood and went up to stop these people.
"Our young master hasn't told you to leave yet."
Gu Yuheng glanced at them and made a phone call.
A moment later, the property manager came running over, covered in sweat.
He held a document in his hand, a fawning smile on his face, and respectfully handed it to Gu Yuheng.
"Mr. Gu, here is the video material you requested."
Gu Yuheng held the tablet, his slender fingers tapping on the entry and exit surveillance footage.
The video playing on the screen showed Li Xiumei arguing loudly with the security guard.
He watched the video quickly.
He averted his gaze and fixed a cold look on the crowd in front of him.
“Your wife is wrong, and even if you side with her, it doesn’t change the fact that she is not filial to her parents.”
So what if he is Gu Yuheng?
We can't just be unreasonable.
“That’s right. Our parents taught us to be filial to them from a young age. It’s only natural for this aunt to want to visit her daughter. How can she disown her parents just because she married into a better family?”
Gu Yuheng stepped closer to them.
His gaze fell on their faces, and he uttered the question word by word.
"Not all parents are naturally loving towards their children, nor are all of them worthy of the title 'qualified'. If you grew up being beaten and scolded by them, they deprived you of your right to go to school, and even wanted to sell you for a dowry; even when their own mother was seriously ill and bedridden, they were reluctant to spend 100,000 yuan on surgery, instead making their granddaughter run around to raise the money—such parents have long deviated from what family affection should be like."
"Does such a person deserve to be a parent?"
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
I was deeply shocked.
Are there still parents like this in the world?
Gu Yuheng concealed his expression, opened the video on his tablet, and turned the screen towards everyone.
The video playing above shows the "suffering" mother in front of me.
The camera clearly recorded everything.
The security guard explicitly refused them entry.
Li Xiumei stood under the camera and started cursing.
"It's all your fault. Your mother was discharged from the hospital after surgery, and you didn't even remind me to come and see her so I could get acquainted with her. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been blocked by this watchdog and unable to get in today."
Su Guowei retorted irritably, "Stop being a Monday morning quarterback. Didn't you complain that my mom and Niannian were a burden? If I told you I was coming to see my mom, you'd probably tear the roof off."
The crowd that had just been morally blackmailing Su Niannian listened to what was being said in the video.
I couldn't help but feel guilty about my previous behavior.
You can never judge a book by its cover. She looked pitiful, but I never expected that she would be the one who was so unfilial.
