Chapter 191 - Su Zipei’s Father
Su Huanli was puzzled. Why did his daughter become an adopted bastard?
This time, Zhu Yan didn’t fear but sneer. Mam. Su-Cui saw that the matter went in a bad way. So, she immediately stood up and said, “Son! Don’t be angry. Little Yan didn’t finish her words.”
Seeing Mam. Su-Cui was on her side, Zhu Yan felt warm inside. She said, “Mother! No more talking. Even if I am no longer your daughter-in-law, you are still my mother.”
“Little Yan, you...” Mam. Su-Cui understood her meaning and was flustered.
Zhu Yan stood uprightly. She pointed to Su Huanli and scolded, “Su Huanli! I was stupid that I got married with you. You are a follower of the rich and powerful. You are ruthless and cared for nothing but money. I adopted Zipei. So what? Today, you can divorce me!”
“...You!”
“Well! Well! Well!”
Su Huanli was so angry that his face reddened. When he looked at the expensive furniture, he was reluctant to pound. He said “Well” three times. Then, he said, “Well, Zhu Yan, have I been mean to you since you got married with me? If you don’t want to live here, get out!”
“No! Calm down, son!”
Mam. Su-Cui tried to persuade Su Huanli. But he was angry. So, he didn’t listen to her. He found a paper and a pen and wrote a divorce letter.
Seeing this divorce letter, Zhu Yan burst with joy. Finally, she could justifiably live in the Lord Rui’s Mansion!
That was the house of the Eighth Lord!
“Well done! Su Huanli, you are brave! Zipei and I will stay here for one night and we will leave tomorrow.”
Zhu Yan left with Su Zipei hurriedly. She didn’t mention Su Li.
During the whole process, Li Yuelian was silent. Su Qinghao wanted to say something a few times but he was stopped by his mother. According to the character of Zhu Yan, would she raise a child picked up from the roadside?
Who was the biological daughter, Su Li or Su Zipei? People who knew the Su Family could tell it.
Moreover, Zhu Yan misreported the age of Su Li and Su Zipei. She deliberately said one year older than their real age. In fact, Su Li was 16 years old and Su Zipei was 15 years old.
If that person who came here to sound out just now was a member of a distinguished family, he would know that Su Li was the miss, not Su Zipei!
Her mother-in-law also knew their age. It... it was distinct.
Thinking of this, Li Yuelian looked at Mam. Su-Cui. However, she saw Mam. Su-Cui look at her. Her eyes were full of warnings and sternness.
Let her shut up?!
Li Yuelian took a deep breath and couldn’t help but step back. She was cold.
Zhu Yan knew that someone would sound out in disguise. Zhu Yan and Su Zipei couldn’t do it with their own abilities! They must set up a new force in Yunjing. But when did they set up? Li Yuelian took charge of the money business of the Su Family, but she did not know it...
Now Qingtan was not at home. She did not dare to confront Mam. Su-Cui. This biddy was extremely cruel and merciless!
Seeing the effect, Mam. Su-Cui turned her head and snorted, “You were tactful.”
Back to the room, Su Qinghao held his hands and said confusedly, “Mother, why are you shaking? Are you uncomfortable?”
Li Yuelian smiled constrainedly and touched Su Qinghao’s round head. She calmed herself down and said, “I am fine.”
“Mother, why didn’t you let me say it? First Mother misremembered the age of the Second Sister and the Third Sister. She is really confused.”
Li Yuelian was instantly nervous and grabbed Su Qinghao’s little hands. She said seriously, “Qinghao! Remember that you can’t say this matter to anyone. Otherwise, we will have trouble.”
Su Qinghao rolled his eyes and became more confused. He said, “But mother, you taught me not to lie, didn’t you?”
Li Yuelian cried sadly
But this was the world of adults. Qinghao, the world of adults was full of lies and deception.
Seeing that his mother was crying, Su Qinghao quickly wiped Li Yuelian’s tears sensibly and comforted her. He said, “Don’t cry, mother. I will not say it. I will become an official in the future like the Eldest Brother and let you be happy every day!”
“Qinghao...”
Li Yuelian smiled through tears. No matter how bad the Su Family was, she had two sensible and promising sons. It was enough.
Su Qinghao, who was in Li Yuelian’s arms, blinked his eyes. He didn’t quite understand what happened today. However, as long as the First Mother got involved in it, it must be bad for the Second Sister.
By the way, today the Second Sister did not come.
Su Qinghao seemed to think of the key of the matter, but this time he did not tell his mother. This little boy gradually could protect the people who had a close relationship with him in his own way.
At midnight, everyone fell asleep. Su Qinghao got up quickly from his bed and put on his shoes. He put on a thick cloak and got out.
In Dahan Country, boys over 10 years old should sleep alone. He was 11 years old. Except for Sister Dong who served him, nobody lived in the yard.
He carefully leaned on the window and saw Sister Dong sleep sound. Su Qinghao was childish. After he made sure that she wouldn’t wake up for a short of time, he was happy and immediately ran to Su Li’s yard.
He was short. So, with the cover of the trees, nobody noticed him. He arrived at the Su Li’s yard less than 7.5 minutes. He carefully knocked on Su Li’s door.
Because of the Baishou Feast, he clearly remembered that the Second Sister came back today.
Su Li was really in the room. At the moment that Su Qinghao entered the yard, she knew it.
She didn’t get any clue that how her mother died and why her mother abandoned her. She even didn’t know the name of her mother.
Dongfang Rui’s appearance was too sudden. What’s more, Ling Li interposed in it. She and Dongfang Rui met too early. She had no idea how to face him.
She was totally confused.
So, Su Li did not return to the Affiliated School of the National Academy to practice. She came back to the noisy Su Family. Seeing the whole family quarreled with each other selfishly, she could calm down quickly.
After the rebirth, many things were out of her control. She could only control the fate of the Su Family with ease.
“Second Sister, are you there?”
When Su Li heard the voice of the Fourth Brother, she smiled. She stood up in the dark and opened the door. She said with concern, “Fourth Brother, why are you here in the midnight? It is cold outside. Come in quickly. Don’t have a cold.”
Su Qinghao smirked. He rushed to the room and rubbed his hands. With his little eyes rolled, he whispered, “Second Sister, a strange grandfather came to our family this evening. He asked about our First Mother, you and the Third Sister. First Mother deliberately reported one year older than you and Third Sister’s real age. Then, that grandfather left happily. In my point of view, the First Mother is making trouble for you! Although my mother asked me not to tell it to others and she even cried, if I did not tell you, I would not be a man who can protect you. If the Eldest Brother knows it, he will blame me!”
Su Li burst into laughter. The topic was serious obviously. But after Su Qinghao told it, it became not so serious.
“Well done, Qinghao!”
Su Li bent down and kissed his right face. Su Qinghao’s little face reddened immediately. His head was close to smoking.
The Second Sister kissed him!
“Well, go back. I knew it. You should go back to have a good sleep.”
Su Qinghao turned back in a panic. When he walked to the door, he looked back and smiled sweetly. He said, “You should have a good sleep, too. The Eldest Brother and I will keep you safe and sound!”
Su Li smiled happily. Her eyes were like curved crescents.
Su Li thought that she couldn’t protect him in previous life. This life... she would not let him only live 15 years.
After seeing Su Qinghao off, Su Li was surprisingly calm. She figured it out at this moment. No matter what the truth behind Lord Rui and her mother, the Eldest Brother and the Fourth Brother would stand on her side.
She was not alone this life. That was enough.
...
Su Li returned to the Affiliated School of the National Academy at that night. Even if she knew what would happen in the day, she still left. All the members of the Su Family was of one mind. She couldn’t refute. Otherwise, Dongfang Rui would treat her as a swindler who wanted to be a member of the Lord Rui’s Mansion.
It was awkward. She didn’t need it.
On the next morning, Dongfang Rui came to the front of the Su Family’s gate in splendid attire. He took lots of honoraria and a luxurious carriage with a royal seal.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Dozens of guards from the Lord Rui’s Mansion stood in a line to the front of the Su Family’s gate. The ground was shaking and the Su Family was immediately alarmed.
The gatekeeper opened the door and popped his head out. When he saw the powerful scene, he was so scared that he directly fainted.
Dongfang Rui was full of radiance and happiness. He flicked his sleeves and couldn’t help but step into the Su Family.
Su Huanli just came out from the backyard and saw the door was open. When he saw the powerful scene, he was so scared that he was close to peeing in his pants. However, he quickly recognized the old servant who was on the side of a middle-aged man in a nice robe. Wasn’t he the person who checked the household yesterday?!
Wu Bin walked forward and gave a salute. He said, “Sorry to offend you, head of the Su Family. I pretended to be an official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs yesterday. That was I had to do. I wanted to make sure a matter for my master.”
Su Huanli nodded in a daze. He never saw such a noble royal. He couldn’t help but ask, “He is...”
Wu Bin bent down slightly and said with a smile, “He is my master, the Eighth Lord of the Dahan Country and the brother of the emperor today, Lord Rui!”
Lord!
The brother of the emperor?!
Su Huanli was close to fainting like the gatekeeper. When did the Su Family get in touch with the people of the Lord Rui’s Mansion?
Dongfang Rui smiled sweetly and said, “Master Su, I came here for my biological daughter, Su Zipei. I had to abandon her that year. It was fortunate that your First Madam picked her up and raised her. I am unable to make any recompense. If you need any help, tell me without hesitation.”
Su Zipei was actually the biological daughter of Lord Rui!
Didn’t it mean that the Su Family would be rich?
Su Huanli realized that with full of shock and ecstasy. However, he thought of a terrible fact soon... He divorced Zhu Yan last night!
“That bitch did it on purpose! Fuck!”
“Puff!”
Changing from the great joy to sadness, Su Huanli spat out blood and fell on the ground. He was unconscious.
Wu Bin was shocked and quickly arranged people to treat Su Huanli.
At this moment, Su Zipei and Zhu Yan who dressed up went out. Dongfang Rui was in surprise. It was her.
Since he thought that Su Zipei was his daughter, even if Su Zipei did not dress up, Dongfang Rui would think that she was beautiful. At this moment, he felt extremely guilty to her.
Zhu Yan remembered the explanation of that mysterious woman. She suppressed her excitement and sighed. She said, “Are you the biological father of Zipei? When this old man came here yesterday, I knew that there will be such a day.”
Su Zipei’s eyes were full tears of excitement. When she saw Dongfang Rui was so powerful, she couldn’t help but rush into the arms of Dongfang Rui. She shouted with a shivering voice, “Dad! I miss you so much!”
Dongfang Rui sighed with satisfaction and hugged Su Zipei who was as tall as his chest. This moment was the most satisfied moment in his life. Even if he had to die now, he would not have any regrets.
Zhu Yan stood on the side and secretly wiped her tears. She finally succeeded after ten years of planning. The nature treated her well!
Wu Bin was happy for Dongfang Rui and his guilt was alleviated a lot. However, he felt uncomfortable for only one point.
It was so smooth that he thought he was acting.
But he couldn’t find any mistakes. Maybe... because he suddenly succeeded after he worked hard for many years, so, he worried about personal gains and losses vaguely.
“Zipei, let me take you home!”
