Chapter 97: Su Xueya
Once Su Hang finished speaking, Chen Fenghuo released everyone's acupoints. Su Xueya rushed over to Chen Duxiu's corpse. Seeing Chen Duxiu dead right in front of her, Su Xueya's entire mental state began to collapse. Third Brother and the others nearby all hung their heads in silence. None of them had expected Chen Duxiu's death. This was also the first time we had witnessed the reality of the upper class; they judged a person's life or death so simply and arbitrarily, which was truly hair-raising.
Chen Fenghuo hurried the others to leave. When Third Brother and the others saw that I was being kept behind, they had no intention of leaving, but they were no match for Chen Fenghuo. Third Brother originally wanted to make a scene, but Zhang Yinuo stopped him: "Stop it, it's useless. Their strength and influence are too great; we have no way to deal with them right now. But fortunately, they don't want to touch Yang Yun yet, and Su Xueya is here to look after him, so I think he should be fine. Let's go back and think of a way to save him!"
Although they were very unwilling, Zhang Yinuo was right, and Third Brother and Old Five could only leave with heavy hearts.
Chen Duxiu's corpse on the ground was taken away by their people for unknown purposes. No matter how much Su Xueya cried and screamed, Su Hang remained like a cold-blooded person, completely indifferent.
Su Xueya sat powerlessly to the side, looking at me. I didn't know what to say either, so I could only hang my head and think.
Su Xueya and I were taken away. As for where we were going, I didn't know. My phone was also confiscated. Su Xueya and I were kept like two prisoners in a room within a villa. However, I had to admit that Su Xueya's father's family was truly extraordinary; the entire villa seemed to belong to them, and there were many servants in the house. It was clear at a glance that they were people of the upper class.
Just then, the door opened, and a frantic middle-aged woman shouted in a panic: "Where is my daughter? My poor daughter?"
When the middle-aged woman saw Su Xueya, she became incredibly emotional, her body trembling. She rushed over, touched Su Xueya's face, and cried: "My poor daughter, you've suffered!"
Su Xueya looked blankly at the middle-aged woman in front of her, her expression dazed.
"Xueya, I am your mother, Wang Xuefen. I'm sorry, Xueya. Back then, because our family was persecuted by others, we always thought you had been killed. I never expected you to still be alive. This is truly wonderful!" Wang Xuefen was so emotional that she hugged Su Xueya directly.
Su Xueya's hands were at a loss. She wanted to hug the woman in front of her, but she found she couldn't bring herself to do it. The sense of unfamiliarity and the reality of the situation made her very hesitant.
"What's wrong, Xueya? I am your mother. I know you might find it hard to accept for a moment, but don't worry, we can take our time. From now on, Mom will never let you suffer again. Come, let's go eat with Mom!" Wang Xuefen pulled Su Xueya up.
Wang Xuefen looked at me on the side and said with a smile: "You must be Yang Yun, right? Come, let's eat together!"
"Uh, I think I'll pass, Auntie. It's a family reunion, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to join!" I awkwardly refused, mainly because I was still a bit afraid of Su Hang.
"It's fine, come along!" Wang Xuefen was very kind and sunny. She looked very young, around thirty, and was very well-maintained. She looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.
I couldn't resist Wang Xuefen's persuasion, so I followed behind them. Su Hang was already sitting in the dining room.
Su Hang saw me following behind and looked displeased: "Why is he following?"
"What are you doing? He is Xueya's boyfriend, what's wrong with him coming to eat?" Wang Xuefen looked coldly at Su Hang.
"Who said he is Xueya's boyfriend? I haven't acknowledged it yet!"
"It doesn't matter if you acknowledge it or not, I acknowledge it, and besides, it's a fact!"
Su Hang didn't want to argue with Wang Xuefen, so he just frowned and didn't say anything else, which was effectively tacit approval for me to sit at the table.
However, Su Xueya was still very shy and stood there without sitting down. Wang Xuefen saw her daughter's appearance and quickly said: "What's wrong, Xueya? Sit down and eat?"
"I'm not hungry. Maybe I won't eat for now, you guys go ahead!" Su Xueya looked awkward and refused to sit.
"Your mother told you to sit down, do you have no manners? Sit down!" Su Hang shouted, scaring us into sitting on the chairs immediately.
"Why are you yelling? We finally found our daughter, and you're already losing your temper at her. Are you even her father? What the daughter needs now is time and care. After all these years, don't you feel any guilt at all? If it weren't for you back then!"
"Shut up! As long as we are in this house, I am the one who decides!" Su Hang's temper seemed to have flared up as well.
But Wang Xuefen also got angry and shouted: "So what if it's your house? If your Su family can't accommodate us mother and daughter, then I will take her back to the Wang family. Our Wang family will take her!"
Seeing the two of them arguing fiercely, Su Xueya quickly said: "Um, Uncle, Auntie, please don't argue!"
Although Su Xueya knew that the woman protecting her so fiercely was her biological mother, she had tried, but still couldn't bring herself to say the word, so she could only call her Auntie.
"What Uncle and Auntie? We are your parents! I see you were spoiled by those country bumpkins when you were young, you have no manners at all!" Su Hang slammed the table and roared.
"My mother is not a country bumpkin! And I never acknowledged you as my father. In my eyes, you are not fit to be my father at all!" Su Xueya retorted upon hearing her mother being insulted.
"You brat! Not fit? I'll beat you to death!" Su Hang was so angry that he slammed the table and was about to hit Su Xueya, but he was blocked by Wang Xuefen. Wang Xuefen glared at Su Hang and scolded: "Su Hang, shut your mouth! If you dare to treat my daughter like this again, I will divorce you immediately. Beating this and beating that all day, if you have the guts, just beat us both to death!"
Su Hang pointed at Wang Xuefen in anger and said: "Fine, you win. You guys eat, I'm not eating!"
After saying that, he threw his chopsticks and left.
Wang Xuefen quickly pulled Su Xueya to the chair and said with concern: "I'm sorry, Xueya, were you scared? It's okay, if he doesn't want you, Mom wants you. You will always be Mom's daughter!"
"Um, thank you, Auntie!" Su Xueya looked at Wang Xuefen and said gratefully. She could feel that Wang Xuefen truly cared about her and valued her, which made her feel warmth for the first time outside of her own family and me.
"You are Yang Yun, right? Don't just stand there, hurry up and eat. After we finish, I'll take you guys out for a tour later. It's very fun here!" ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
