Compared to Song Jingzhou and Su Qingci's good mood, Wang Jingtao and Su Meifang were practically bursting with pent-up emotions.
We had agreed on this beforehand, but when it came time to actually get things done, I was tricked.
Before they even entered the gate, Wang Zhongren coldly made several sarcastic remarks.
It means we don't expect you to bring honor to the Wang family, but don't ruin the honor that the Wang family's ancestors fought for with their blood and flesh.
Wang Jingtao and Su Meifang couldn't show any displeasure; they had to nod and agree with Wang Zhongren with humble expressions.
Wang Zhongren watched the two men stride away, a complex expression flashing across his face.
Wang Jingtao used to be cold and indifferent, but now he's becoming more and more distorted. If he wasn't mistaken, the way Wang Jingtao looked at him just now actually carried a hint of resentment.
And that girl from earlier, if he remembers correctly, she seemed to have talked to Wang Youbo before, right?
Is this a case of manipulating the Wang family's children?
Hmph, the identity of Commander Su's daughter is indeed worthy of the Wang family.
But with a mother whose political background is tainted, plus Wang Youbo's involvement...
What was Wang Jingtao thinking? How could he play such a good hand so badly?
With this kind of behavior, let alone allowing the Wang family to advance further, it would be difficult for them to even maintain their current status in China.
He might even ruin the Wang family!
After I and my elder brother retire, who will be able to suppress him?
Wang Zhongren pursed his lips; it seemed he needed to have a serious talk with his older brother.
On the other side, after Wang Jingtao and Su Meifang had walked for a while, Wang Jingtao could no longer suppress his anger.
He clenched his fists and quickened his pace, walking as fast as he could.
"Jingtao, Jingtao, wait for me!" Su Meifang called out anxiously to Wang Jingtao as she jogged after him.
At this moment, she felt both panicked and aggrieved. More than whether her biological mother, Qin Xiangxiang, could come out, she was more concerned about Wang Jingtao's attitude towards her.
She went to great lengths to get Tang Liping involved with Wang Youbo, creating a facade of innocence for herself as someone who had been wronged without cause.
Unexpectedly, Su Qingci pointed it out in public. Even if Wang Jingtao was a prodigy, any ordinary man would feel a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Su Meifang not only hated Su Qingci to the core, but also resented Qin Xiangxiang, her own mother.
If it weren't for her sake, why would Wang Jingtao and I have come all this way to suffer this humiliation?
Not only is she now disabled and useless, but her father no longer cares about her, and she has also jeopardized her and her brother's careers!
With a murderer as her mother, it would be incredibly difficult for her to even enter the Wang family.
Thinking about this, a dark idea popped into Su Meifang's mind.
It would have been better if her mother had simply died in the detention center during that riot, instead of being a burden to her and Su Chang'an by living like this!
At least her political affiliation with Su Chang'an won't be tarnished, and at least there won't be so many obstacles for her if she wants to join the Wang family...
"Brother Jingtao~"
Su Meifang grabbed the other person's arm.
Wang Jingtao stopped in his tracks and slammed his fist into a huge old tree next to him.
With a dull thud, Wang Jingtao's hand was instantly scraped, and blood oozed out.
Su Meifang's pupils contracted, her heart aching as if it were about to break.
Her voice trembled slightly, "Jingtao, what are you doing? How could you hurt yourself like this?"
While examining Wang Jingtao's arm, Su Meifang took out a water bottle from her bag, poured water to rinse his wound, and then carefully wrapped it with a clean handkerchief.
After his hand was bandaged, Wang Jingtao calmed down.
"I'm sorry, I startled you."
Su Meifang's eyes instantly welled up with tears upon hearing Wang Jingtao's apology.
"I should be the one apologizing to you. It's all because of me that you've suffered such injustice and humiliation."
"I won't let them get away with this. Don't worry, I'll definitely avenge you."
Wang Jingtao's eyes flashed. "Do you have any good ideas?"
Su Meifang's face turned cold. "Since they want to separate me from my own flesh and blood, I'll let them experience what it means to feel excruciating pain first."
"That old woman in their family is incredibly resilient. I want to see if she can still bounce back after losing her youngest son and then her eldest son. I want to see if she can bear the thought of a parent outliving their children twice!"
"As long as that old woman dies, my father's guilt towards that side will disappear completely with her death!"
"By then, Su Qingci and Su Jindong will be nothing but toothless tigers, and Song Jingzhou, a powerless country bumpkin, will be at your mercy!"
"Hmph, even if it can't affect them, it'll be good to make things difficult for them!"
As if she had just realized something, Su Meifang's fierce expression vanished completely, and she looked at Wang Jingtao with an innocent look, "Brother Jingtao, you, you don't think I'm cruel, do you?"
"Waaaaah~ They've driven me to the brink of despair~"
Wang Jingtao forced a smile. "How could that be? Are you saying they're allowed to bully you, but you're not allowed to fight back? There's no such logic in this world. I've always believed that if you want something, you should do everything in your power to get it..." even if it means resorting to any means necessary!
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Song Jingzhou and Su Qingci went directly to the black market in the northern suburbs.
While Song Jingzhou was busy grabbing eggs, Su Qingci secretly carried a basket of fruit out of the farm.
They are all common fruits such as oranges, apples, and bananas.
The two carried their things and talked as they walked home.
Looking at the houses on both sides of the road, Su Qingci couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if there are any houses available to buy at this time?"
Song Jingzhou thought of the Su family's small courtyard, a three-bedroom, one-living-room house, which used to be quite spacious. But now that Su Changzhi's family has returned, and with Grandma Li revealing that Qingci's parents might also be coming back, the house will soon become crowded.
"Most properties in the country are public housing owned by the state and work units. The vast majority of people's housing is allocated by the state or their work units. However, there are still a small number of privately owned properties left over from a long time ago, as well as some self-built houses by local indigenous people."
Song Jingzhou recalled that in his previous life, one of his comrades-in-arms seemed to have bought a house outside. He had overheard the other man mention it briefly in the dormitory.
"It seems that the policy does not allow buying and selling, but it can be given away and inherited. There are even some houses left over from history that only have house deeds and land deeds, so there is no need to transfer ownership. Whoever has the house deeds and land deeds owns them. For those self-built houses, the two parties can write a contract privately, then register it at the housing management office and get a house certificate."
