As she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes. She gently wiped away the tears with her slender, pale fingers, and refused to look at Su Zhiyuan again.
"That's settled then. I will support you in your old age, but that's limited to financial support. I'll also cover your medical expenses when you're sick and hospitalized. As for other things, you have several other sons. I've secretly favored you for so long, so surely I wouldn't mistreat you!"
Su Lu chuckled coldly, turned around, and walked out of the Su family's gate.
The moment Su Lu's figure disappeared at the gate of the courtyard, Su Zhiyuan realized with a start that he had lost his son forever.
This was his most filial and caring son, his most outstanding son, the son who was most likely to leave this place and achieve great things in the future, the son who could lead the Su family to glory, but now, all of that is gone.
Unable to withstand the blow, Su Zhiyuan's vision went black and he fainted.
Grandma Su cried out and rushed over to catch Su Zhiyuan, but she was old and her legs were slow, and Su Zhiyuan still fell to the ground, his head hitting the ground.
"Third brother!"
Grandma Su cried out in surprise and called for Su's eldest son to help. They carried Su Zhiyuan to the backyard as well.
Looking at the mess in the Su family home, the old man and his son closed their eyes and fainted.
The Su family was in chaos. Su Lu, who was standing at the door, sensed it and twitched his toes slightly, but ultimately held back.
With a soft sigh, Su Lu closed his eyes and resolutely left the Su family.
Qin Xiaoxiao slept soundly that night, but the lights in the Su family's house stayed on all night. The next morning, Su Lu appeared outside the Qin family's gate.
Upon knocking on the door, Qin Feng looked in surprise at Su Lu, who resembled a beggar.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Lu gave a wry smile, lowered his head, and asked softly, "Sir, may I come in and talk?"
Qin Feng could tell that Su Lu was preoccupied. Although he was reluctant, he still made room for her and let her into the house.
When Qin Ye saw Su Lu, his expression turned cold, and he frowned, saying, "Why are you here?"
Su Lu lowered his head and softly called out "Big Brother," then stood in the center of the room without saying another word.
Qin Ye was annoyed by Su Lu's half-dead appearance and wondered what had happened to him, so he stopped asking and sat down next to Qin Aiguo.
Old Mrs. Qin sat on the kang without moving. She was still angry about what the Su family had done and harbored some resentment towards Su Lu.
Qin Aiguo seemed to have figured something out, and frowned slightly. "Tell me, child, what exactly happened?"
Su Lu's eyes reddened, and he choked out, "Grandpa, I have no home anymore."
Qin Aiguo and Qin Feng were startled and exchanged a glance.
Qin Feng stood up and gave Ma Dahua a look.
Ma Dahua nodded, turned around and left.
Qin Ye grabbed a towel and tossed it to Su Lu, saying, "Wipe yourself clean. What kind of man cries like that!"
Su Lu, no longer displaying his prowess from the previous night, now looked as aggrieved as a child, crouching down with his handkerchief over his face and bursting into tears.
Qin Feng was exhausted from his crying and looked helplessly at Old Madam Qin.
I didn't make them cry, it has nothing to do with me!
Grandma Qin glared at him irritably, but seeing Su Lu crying like this, all her resentment turned into a sigh.
"Oh! What a tragedy!"
Grandma Qin gestured for Qin Ye to pull him up and sit him on the kang (a heated brick bed). She then brought him water to wash his face. Once he had calmed down a bit and finished washing up, Qin Xiaoxiao and Ma Dahua returned together.
Upon seeing Qin Xiaoxiao, Su Lu, who had just stopped crying, could no longer hold back and burst into tears, hugging Qin Xiaoxiao's waist.
"Waaaaah, wife, I have no home anymore, I have no home anymore, waaaaah..."
The Qin family glared angrily at Su Lu, especially at his hands that were holding Qin Xiaoxiao. They wished they could chop him up with a kitchen knife, but seeing how heartbroken he was, they couldn't bear it and had to hold back for now.
Qin Xiaoxiao sighed and gently patted Su Lu's back, coaxing, "It's okay, you still have me. I'll give you a home."
Upon hearing this, Su Lu abruptly lifted her head from Qin Xiaoxiao's shoulder, looking at her with a pitiful expression, "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Looking at Su Lu's red and swollen eyes from crying, his fair cheeks flushed from the crying, two teardrops hanging on his long eyelashes, and his slightly pouting red lips as if waiting for her to pick them, Qin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to kiss him on the lips, and made up her mind to say, "I'm not lying to you, we'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
Damn! It's just a wedding! What's the big deal?! She's going all in!
As the saying goes, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained," but no, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" That's not right either. Ah, this is all so confusing!
Imagine a stunningly beautiful woman begging you to marry her, crying and pleading. Tell me, who could resist? Who could refuse?
Hearing Qin Xiaoxiao's words, Su Lu felt even more aggrieved, tugging at Qin Xiaoxiao's sleeve and shaking it back and forth, "Can't it be today? Waaaaah... I lost my home today, waaaaah..."
Qin Ye rolled his eyes.
A grown man acting cute is an eyesore.
Qin Feng glared at Su Lu.
That scoundrel had no good intentions; he tried to take advantage of my niece. What a wicked man!
Qin Aiguo glanced at Su Lu indifferently.
It's in a pretty rush!
It's not impossible. If the Su family loses Su Lu, Li Luo won't last long, and the remaining members of the Su family are not a threat.
Now that the small grudge has been settled, shouldn't that other matter be resolved soon?
A ruthless glint flashed in Qin Aiguo's deep gaze!
Although it was Xiaoxiao who bumped into him, and Xiaoxiao wasn't really sick, bullying is bullying, and even if he's a descendant of a good brother, he has to pay the price.
The woman hasn't even married into the family yet, and he's already secretly plotting against his granddaughter. Does he think he's easy to bully?
Old Su can be biased and ignore things, but I can't. What's done is done, and there's no excuse.
A faint killing intent emanated from Qin Aiguo, and Qin Xiaoxiao turned around in surprise.
Hey! Who's got the guts to mess with my grandpa? Do they have a death wish?
Unbeknownst to Qin Xiaoxiao, when Qin Aiguo's murderous intent overflowed, three other people in the room also looked at Qin Aiguo at the same time.
One is Qin Feng, who served in the army and still retains his sensitivity. Moreover, he was sitting right next to his father, so he naturally felt it the most deeply.
The other one is Qin Feng. He is most familiar with the murderous aura emanating from his grandfather, after all, he has been beaten up quite a bit by him.
Another one is Su Lu. He could clearly feel that Qin Aiguo's killing intent was very strong, not as faint as he appeared.
Su Lu gently closed her eyes, relaxed her body, and tried not to appear so tense.
Just now, his body tensed up instinctively to resist the killing intent emanating from Qin Aiguo. He knew that it was something he had trained in dangerous situations over the years, and he also knew that Qin Aiguo was scrutinizing him with a deep gaze.
You can't know this feeling until you experience it yourself. He felt like he was facing a sleeping tiger, which was now showing signs of waking up, and he was in its den, ready to be swallowed whole at any moment.
Gradually, Su Lu's forehead began to be covered in cold sweat, and his legs felt weak, with an urge to kneel down.
Only when Qin Aiguo looked away and stopped looking at him did Su Lu begin to regain his strength. (End of Chapter)
