Chapter 24 Blackmail
Su Hui came with great force, looking like she wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.
It's just like every intersection between the two "brothers".
However, Supu is no longer the same as before.
He was once a wanderer, struggling to make ends meet, and forced to live under the roof of others.
But now, he has found a new haven.
Although it may be temporary protection, it is far beyond the control of the Su Association.
Su Pu realized that this time she wouldn't have to put up with his bossy attitude anymore.
"Su Pu, you've really grown wings now, huh? You dare to stand us up?"
Whenever she gets emotional, Su Hui's voice becomes very sharp, sounding harsh and grating.
Su Pu had just handed out the questionnaires and, not wanting to disturb the participants, had to use brute force to pull him aside.
I said I wouldn't go, and I even mailed the card home.
Su Hui did receive the card, but past experience told him that there was no need to worry about it.
No matter how much the mute man resists, he will eventually give in.
After all, perhaps because the more you lack something, the more you care about it, the little mute boy cared about "family" the most.
Su Hui had seen through this long ago.
Su Pu's greatest desire also stemmed from his deepest fear: his family.
Su Pu longed for a stable family so much that she was willing to destroy herself to fulfill her wish.
Therefore, whenever Su Hui brought up the argument that "we are a family," no matter how outrageous the request was, Su Pu would eventually give in.
This is Supu.
This is the Suzhou Conference!
Coincidentally, just as he received the bank card returned by Su Pu, Su Hui's group of cronies were urging him to get together.
Since her card was suspended, Su Hui has been staying home and acting like a "good girl" for a few days, and she's really itching to get back to work.
Now he has an extra 100,000 yuan, enough for him to squander for one night.
Since it's all money going to "the son" anyway, it doesn't matter who spends it.
Su Hui went back to her room, picked out a set of clothes to change into, and left while humming a little tune.
On the day of the Su Group's anniversary party, Su Fengxian and his son, dressed impeccably, stood in the banquet hall, engaging in lively conversation.
All that's left is for Li Jichuan to show up and bring this frivolous banquet to its climax.
But no...
They knew in their hearts that all the guests in the room were eager to see the true face of the Li family head, who was known for his low profile.
But after waiting all night, it still didn't arrive...
When midnight arrived and the party had to end, the guests tacitly exchanged pleasantries with the father and son, who both had dark expressions on their faces…
That night was undoubtedly the darkest moment in the lives of Su Fengxian and his son Su Hui.
After they returned home, Su Fengxian hit Su Hui for the first time.
Su Hui's face burned; it immediately became flushed and swollen.
For the first time, Su Fengxian spoke harshly to his beloved son.
"You really disappoint me."
Su Hui grew up in a privileged environment, how could she have ever suffered such a blow?
He cried even more bitterly than when his own mother died unexpectedly.
As a result, even after he cried and wailed all night, his heartless father didn't come to see him once.
After that day, Su briefly went on a hunger strike for 18 hours, but when she found it ineffective, her attitude softened.
He fabricated a flawless lie.
"It's all Su Pu's fault!"
Su Fengxian snorted, seemingly in agreement.
Su Hui then shifted all the blame onto him.
“He took our money but didn’t do anything for us. He completely disregarded our family ties and didn’t respect you, his father, at all!”
"Why did you want him to marry Li Jichuan? Wasn't it because you felt sorry for him and wanted him to have someone to rely on? But he's already forgotten his roots before the marriage is even officially registered..."
Su Fengxian was so angry that he smashed a cup, his lips trembling.
"Huihui, you, you go and drag that little brat back to me. I'm going to teach him a lesson...you traitor!"
Su accepted the order.
He had been locked up at home for a few days. After he came out, he first went to have some fun with that group of rich young men before calmly coming over to take control of Su Pu.
“Just go apologize to Dad. We’re all family, he’ll definitely forgive you… Besides, you took the money but didn’t bring Li Jichuan with you, that’s definitely your fault.”
Su Pu gasped in disbelief.
I've returned the card, and I still have the tracking information; I can find it and give it to you.
"But we didn't receive it. We were counting on you to bring Li Jichuan over, and you stood us up. Do you think Dad wouldn't be angry..."
Su Pu frowned.
I won't apologize; I did nothing wrong.
"Tsk," Su Hui suppressed his irritation, wondering where this mute man got his confidence from, "Do you know how angry and disappointed Dad is? He has always valued his family, but it turns out that you, as his son, have hurt him the most..."
Su Pu shook his head frantically, typing with trembling hands.
I never promised anything!
"Su Pu, have I been too kind to you?"
When the old methods failed, Su became furious and embarrassed.
"You've forgotten your roots, haven't you?"
With his brain racing, Su Hui came up with a new way to torture Su Pu.
"How about I go back and tell Dad that I've changed my mind and want to marry Li Jichuan? That way I can at least take him with me, right?"
Su Pu's body stiffened, and his face quickly turned deathly pale.
He didn't even have the strength to type anymore, and he waved his hands in disbelief.
Seeing his reaction, Su smiled inwardly.
We've found your Achilles' heel.
"Anyway, you and Li Jichuan haven't registered your marriage yet, and the news of your relationship hasn't been officially announced. It's okay to switch back now, right?"
Su Hui straightened her hair and looked at Su Pu.
Su Hui also has a beautiful face, inheriting most of her mother's good looks, and has an air of pride between her eyebrows and eyes.
"One is a mute who works in a coffee shop and has never been able to speak in his life; the other is an able-bodied person with an overseas study background who received a good education and artistic training from a young age. Who do you think the Li family will ultimately choose as the partner of their sole heir?"
The color drained from Su Pu's face, but Su Hui became even more smug.
"Su Pu, what makes you think you can compete with me?"
Su Hui stopped short of making a point, leaving Su Pu with two options.
Alternatively, he could obediently go home, admit all his mistakes to Su Fengxian, and become a puppet forever;
Alternatively, he could choose to uphold the truth, at the cost of losing Li Jichuan and the engagement.
Su Pu couldn't choose. You see, all he had ever learned in his life was the ability to calmly accept all suffering.
He can't escape. He won't put up a fight at all.
...
After a long while, Su Pu returned to the coffee stall in a daze and continued teaching.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Perhaps, nothing really happened.
Anyway, that's just how the world works.
Any good thing that happens to Su Pu will instantly turn into a disaster.
Just as any light that shines on Su Pu will soon be obscured as the sun shifts away.
What was left for him was eternal darkness and loneliness.
Perhaps, Li Jichuan was just a ray of sunshine in his life.
Su Pu had been taken care of by him once when he was in middle school, and that one time was forever.
This second illumination was merely an occasional stroke of luck, like a beautiful dream that must eventually end.
Everything must be lost eventually.
Su Pu taught calmly, collected forms calmly, and bid farewell to Ouyang calmly.
I returned home peacefully.
Calmly welcome the end of this beautiful dream.
"Little monkey is back! Come on, Mr. Li is waiting for you after you finish eating!"
Uncle Wang heard the noise and came to the door to greet him, giving him the warmest smile.
As Su Pu watched, a wave of emotion welled up in her eyes.
After changing his shoes and washing his hands, Uncle Wang pushed Su Pu to the dining table and said with a smile.
"It's rare that Xiao Chuan has time to eat dinner today, I wonder who it is..."
Li Jichuan's ears turned red, and then, trying to cover it up, he called everyone in his family over for dinner.
Su Pu pursed her lips, suppressing all her emotions, and sat down beside him.
This seemed to be their first time having dinner together.
Perhaps this is the last time?
Tomorrow, Su will find out that he didn't apologize to Su Fengxian, and he will definitely complain to Su Fengxian.
Given Su Fengxian's efficiency, he will probably send Su Hui over that very night.
Then tell him to get out...
Su Pu swallowed a mouthful of braised pork that Man Tian had placed in his bowl, then suddenly felt nauseous and ran away, covering his mouth.
Fortunately, he didn't eat much that night, so he didn't vomit much.
After vomiting until nothing was left in her stomach, Su Pu was helped back to her bedroom by two servants and lay down on the bed.
In his hazy state, he felt a warm, dry hand touch his forehead and wipe away the cold sweat that had broken out on his brow.
After a while, the other side of the mattress sank.
Through the blanket, someone hugged him and gently patted his back.
Is this... to lull someone to sleep?
Su Pu's consciousness was clouded, and his heart was in torment, like a traveler who had been thirsty for a long time, desperately searching for his own oasis.
Soon, he found it, stretched out his arms and hugged that person tightly, that island, the harbor where his soul found rest.
I don't want to leave you.
Can I choose you?
Please, please choose me, please love me...
Su Pu closed her eyes, letting the tears flow freely.
If this is the last chance for tenderness, he must hold on tight.
Otherwise, what will he use to combat the boundless loneliness that will continue day and night?
