Chapter 91 Resolution
The guests' gazes all turned downwards, fixing on the Rush tube on the ground.
“Shhhh…” Someone recognized the thing and blurted out a curse word with a twist.
"What, what is this?" Glenn picked up the object and examined it in his hand.
The brightly colored packaging and the vague ingredient list seemed completely out of place for tonight's dinner party.
Glenn's assistant leaned close to his ear and whispered, "This is a drug that helps dilate blood vessels and also has an aphrodisiac effect."
His voice was even softer when he said the next sentence.
This drug can also cause short-term hallucinations and a feeling of euphoria, and it is also somewhat addictive, making it quite popular among promiscuous people.
In some neighborhoods, flamboyant young people and homeless vagrants almost always have one.
Glenn's eyes darkened, turning from anger to disgust.
Su Hui quickly denied it, "This isn't mine. It fell out of the gentleman's pocket when he was helping me pick something up..."
He looked around and said, “You all saw it. I’ve been working all night; and my hands were occupied just now, so I asked this gentleman to help me pick something up.”
Although the current situation has deviated from Su Hui's prediction, fortunately, the result is the same: the label of promiscuity has still been pinned on Su Pu.
Then, he glanced at Li Jichuan, his eyes turning bloodshot. Suddenly noticing something, he asked in surprise, "Mr. Li, what are you doing here?"
He glanced sideways at the "gentleman" who had helped him pick up his things earlier.
"Hey, Su Pu, why aren't you answering my calls? I've been looking for you! Dad's in jail, and he's been wanting to see you. But you, are you cutting ties with us because you think we're a disgrace?"
As she spoke, Su Hui began to shed tears, looking as if she had been abandoned by her family and had fallen to this state.
Whispers arose, and no one cared about the Glenn couple's soiled clothes anymore, turning their attention to Li Jichuan and his flamboyant young wife.
Su Pu stood there dumbfounded, a basin of dirty water splashed on his head, leaving him completely dazed.
Su continued to feign weakness to gain sympathy, saying, "You said you liked Li Jichuan, so Dad broke off my engagement and made you marry him. I never expected that after you got married, instead of being grateful for my sacrifice and Dad's care, you would spread rumors and make him resent our family."
"Now that Dad's in jail, I have to work part-time to support myself. Are you happy now?"
As Su Hui spoke, she suddenly gasped, "Did you push me on purpose just now, causing me to accidentally knock over the tray?"
"Su Hui, that's enough!" Li Jichuan interrupted. "He is still recovering and should not have to endure such baseless slander from you."
"What slander?" Su Hui wiped away her tears and retorted loudly, "That thing originally belonged to Su Pu!"
The shrill sound drew the attention of guests who hadn't initially noticed the incident.
"That's not his!"
Glenn shook his head, completely exasperated.
"Before we danced just now, I specifically gave him my wife's hearing aid and asked him to keep it with him, maybe Jenny will need it..."
Glenn stepped forward, deliberately glared at Su Hui, and then pointed to Su Pu's pocket.
“Look, his suit has been altered to fit his body shape, making it more fitted. Even with a hearing aid in his pocket, it bulges out so much, it’s very unsightly.”
He turned to look at Su Hui and smiled sarcastically, "If someone were wearing clothes like that and actually had that thing stuffed in their pocket, we should have seen it by now."
Glenn's assistant immediately called the photographer and asked him to find the photos of Supu taken that evening.
The result was obvious: Soap's dress remained perfectly pressed and smooth throughout, except when he danced with Mrs. Glent, when a noticeable bulge appeared in the left pocket.
“At first, I wasn’t sure if Xiao Pu knew sign language, and Lee didn’t tell me either, so I entrusted the hearing aid to him; the child didn’t refuse, he just put it in his pocket. We were so grateful to him, and you’re trying to frame him?”
Glenn instructed his assistant, "Call the police for me. Tell them he deliberately slandered my guests, disrupted the banquet, and was carrying dangerous drugs. He should compensate for all the damages... Oh, and our dresses too, make sure he pays for them at full price, not a penny less!"
This time, Su was speechless with astonishment, especially when he saw the long bill handed to him by Glenn's assistant, the last number of which was shocking.
Even if he sold his possessions, he still couldn't pay it back...
"Ah, Mr. Glenn, I—"
Su tried to grab his arm to plead for him, but he avoided her with disgust.
“Mr. Glenn, I have no money, and I don’t want to go to the police station. Can I work to pay you back? I’ll pay you back whatever amount you want. Please don’t call the police…”
Because of excessive absences and abysmal grades, Su Hui's degree has been revoked by the school, and her visa is about to expire.
If he leaves a criminal record, he will probably be deported immediately, which would make him a laughing stock.
Seeing that Glenn was unmoved, Su quickly turned around and crawled on her knees to Li Jichuan's wheelchair, crying and begging him to help her out.
"Please, Mr. Li, we've raised Su Pu for so many years, can't we just settle this as a child support payment?"
Everyone in the banquet hall was talking about Su Hui, and some busybodies started taking pictures of him with their phones to record his disheveled state.
But Su Hui had no time to worry about that now. The situation was particularly dire. He could neither afford the exorbitant compensation nor face returning to China with a criminal record.
He was panicked and regretful, and he cried so hard that he trembled.
"If you help me pay back the money, I will never bother Su Pu again, and Su Pu will have nothing to do with the Su family anymore, okay?"
But Li Jichuan's gaze remained fixed on Su Pu, observing his expression.
Su Hui just said so much, does Su Pu understand it all? And how would he understand it?
“Xiao Pu…” Li Jichuan squeezed his hand.
The next moment, Su Pu suddenly leaned softly against her.
Before the weight on his legs, Li Jichuan smelled the citrus scent on his lips first.
Su Pu leaned softly against Li Jichuan, nestled in his arms like a spoiled little fox.
After watching enough of the farce, just yawn and relax by closing your eyes.
"Su Pu, Su Pu, please talk to your husband for me. I'm your brother."
“Shh——”
Li Jichuan extended his index finger and placed it on his lips, his eyes slightly closed, a rather oppressive warning.
"Xiao Pu is sleepy."
Su Hui still refused to give up, and even crawled to his feet and pressed her face against the tip of his shoe.
"Please, Mr. Li, I'll do anything you ask..."
"Then shut up."
Li Jichuan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw his shoes were dirty.
"Have you finished acting? Don't disturb my little Pu..."
Upon hearing this, Su Hui's eyes glazed over, her heart utterly broken.
Meanwhile, Li Jichuan had already remotely controlled his wheelchair, carrying the beauty in his arms, and leisurely left the scene.
...
The elevator went down to their floor.
After a few seconds of silence, Li Jichuan suddenly chuckled.
The laughter woke Su Pu. He looked up and met Li Jichuan's all-knowing, wise eyes.
Did you push the person?
Su Pu blinked, neither confirming nor denying.
"You remembered him?"
In fact, Li Jichuan had long been aware of Su Pu's recovery, but since Su Pu didn't say anything, he pretended not to know.
This time, Su Pu obediently nodded.
"Then, is there anything else you remembered?"
As Li Jichuan spoke, he pinched the back of his knee.
Su Pu's eyes were round and bright, and at that moment, spring was brewing.
He replaced memories with kisses, this time more urgent and more profound than ever before.
After all, Su hadn't forgotten a single thing that Teacher Li had taught him!
