Chapter 22: Su Family Ambushed

Today was the day Su Xiyan had agreed with Su Qingming to go see her grandmother; after yesterday's heart-to-heart with Yan Laotaiye, Su Xiyan's outing went especially smoothly.

Soon, she arrived at the Su family residence; the guard at the door had obviously received instructions and politely ushered her in.

Upon entering the Su household, Su Xiyan was overjoyed to finally see her grandmother.

"Grandma!"

"Yan Yan!"

She hurried to her grandmother's side and hugged her tightly.

"Grandma, hasn't Su Qingming been bullying you? How is your health?"

Saying this, Su Xiyan began to take her grandmother's pulse.

Li Xiu Fen saw Su Xiyan's healthy complexion, her face even rounder than before her visit to the Yan family, and she happily said:

"Yan Yan, Grandma is doing well. But what about you—has the Yan family given you any grievances?"

"Grandma, the Yan family treats me very well—you can rest assured."

Su Qingming, standing to the side, chimed in: "I've said before, Yan Yan marrying into the Yan family is a blessing cultivated over several lifetimes."

"If it weren't for Yan Moci becoming a vegetative person, do you think you'd still have a chance with her?"

"And yet you still don't believe it."

Su Xiyan replied coldly: "Really? Such a good blessing—would you want it?"

Su Qingming snapped: "Su Xiyan, how dare you speak like that! You come in and immediately oppose me with a sour face—do you even know how to be a daughter?"

Su Xiyan glanced at Su Qingming disdainfully: "Don't flatter yourself—I don't have a father like you."

"I came today and brought something with me."

Saying this, Su Xiyan unceremoniously threw the document severing the father-daughter relationship onto the table.

"From now on, I will properly serve as the Yan family's daughter-in-law—as long as the Su family doesn't mess up, and as long as Yan Moci doesn't die, I will fulfill my role as a good Yan family daughter-in-law.

"But today I must take Grandma with me, and you need to sign this agreement.

"From now on, we'll each go our separate ways—I'll have nothing more to do with the Su family."

Su Qingming hadn't expected Su Xiyan to suddenly pull this move, but fortunately, thanks to Yang Mei's reminder, he had already made preparations.

He put on a sincere, earnest tone to advise: "Yan Yan, look at you—you're so stubborn!

"I admit, I used to treat you and your grandmother poorly, but haven't I changed now?

"Otherwise, do you really think I couldn't find someone to marry into the Yan family? Not to mention Yan Moci becoming a vegetative—even if he died, who knows how many people would rush to become his adopted son!

"Moreover, given the current situation, do you truly believe you can completely cut ties with the Su family?"

Su Xiyan sensed that Su Qingming was acting oddly today—when had that ever-proud, rooster-like phoenix man ever spoken so gently to her and her grandmother?

To claim he had no ulterior motive—Su Xiyan absolutely didn't believe it!

She instantly grew wary of Su Qingming, deciding to settle this quickly: "Su Qingming, more talk is useless—sign the agreement now, or I'll immediately call Yan Laotaiye and reveal my identity."

Seeing Su Xiyan refuse to listen and reject his advice, Su Qingming's eyes turned cold in an instant; his gloomy chuckle seemed laced with poison.

"Su Xiyan, do you think only you came prepared?

"You're relying on the Yan family to try to manipulate me, but you also have to see whether the Yan family, far away, can actually get here quickly to save you."

As he spoke, a group of black-clad bodyguards appeared behind him,

"Women just aren't capable enough—last time Su Airan prepared so much and still couldn't catch you.

"This time I won't give you any chance at all—just snap a photo of you putting a green hat on Young Master Yan,

"and then we'll see whether the Yan family you've always relied on will still protect you!"

Li Xiu Fen stared at Su Qingming in disbelief,

"Qingming! How can you do this—she's your daughter!

"How could you treat her like this! Getting people to do this to her!

"Qingming! For money, your conscience has gone to the dogs!"

Su Qingming glared venomously at Li Xiu Fen: "Shut up, you old hag!

"She's my daughter, and you're still my mother?

"How come I never see you thinking about your son's future? All you know is to protect this disobedient, money-losing good-for-nothing!"

Li Xiu Fen firmly shielded Su Xiyan behind her: "I want to see if you've truly turned black-hearted—today, if anyone dares to touch Yan Yan, they'll have to step over my corpse!"

Shielded by her grandmother, Su Xiyan was deeply moved.

Her grandmother actually went to such lengths for a non-biological granddaughter, opposing her own son to this extent and even risking her life for her.

Against this backdrop, Su Qingming's face looked even more ugly and dirty.

Looking at the approaching bodyguards, their faces showed blatant covetousness and vicious grins toward her.

Su Xiyan finally snapped.

"Grandma, I'm fine—these people can't handle me at all.

"Step aside—you just had surgery and mustn't get agitated; absolutely don't let these riffraff touch you."

"Yan Yan! How could that be—you're just a weak girl who can't even tie up a chicken!"

Su Xiyan chuckled: "Grandma, don't you remember? A few years ago a blind bear got into our house, and I still beat it to death."

Li Xiu Fen seemed to think of something, started to speak but stopped, walked aside to avoid disturbing Su Xiyan, though her eyes still brimmed with deep worry for Su Xiyan.

To the black-clad bodyguards, Su Xiyan's words sounded like a girl's exaggerated joke,

they even jeered: "Hahaha, blind bear—today we'll have to work hard, Miss Su, please enlighten us.

"Rest assured, we'll definitely be gentler than the blind bear."

Only one of the bodyguards stepped forward menacingly: "Shut up, all of you—let me go first!

"If it weren't for that damned woman's vicious move last time, I wouldn't have been crippled!"

Today I can refuse money, but I will definitely torment her severely! Let her also taste what it's like to be ruined, just like me!

Upon hearing that, Su Xiyan finally recognized him—the leader was the bodyguard she had castrated last time.

I don't know if it's because he lost his manhood, but now he has no facial hair and his voice sounds effeminate, making people want to vomit.

Even though he's already been taught a lesson, he still shows no remorse.

Su Xiyan sneered, "Looks like I was too lenient last time; this time I'll really make you suffer."

The bodyguard sneered, "Miss Su, I hope your skills are as good as your mouth claims."

Saying that, he recklessly charged first, his movements base and vulgar as he lunged straight at Su Xiyan's collar.

His intention was nothing but the lewd idea of leaving Su Xiyan improperly clothed.

The huge commotion from the Su Family startled Dongzi outside; without worrying about anything else, he directly called Yan Moci's phone.

"Boss! The eldest daughter-in-law is in trouble!"
