Chapter 1131
Father and son were talking when Su Shoudao's phone rang.
The screen showed that the caller was his second brother, Su Shoude.
Thinking of how Su Shoude had stabbed him in the back at a critical moment, Su Shoudao felt a surge of resentment, and his mood naturally worsened.
He directly pressed the speakerphone and asked coldly: "What is it?"
Su Shoude chuckled and said: "Big brother, the car is ready, the plane is ready, it's time to take you to the airport."
Su Shoudao gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Fine, I'll say a few words to Zhifei, I'll come down in a moment."
Su Shoude hurriedly said: "Big brother, you'd better not delay any further, the old master is still waiting for my report, and his meaning is that you must leave as soon as possible, the sooner the better."
Su Shoudao could only suppress his anger and said: "Fine, I'll be there in five minutes!"
"Alright, big brother." Su Shoude laughed: "I'll be waiting for you at the door, I'll personally take you to the airport in a moment!"
Su Shoudao said nothing more and directly hung up the phone.
Afterwards, he looked at Su Zhifei and said meaningfully: "These days, you must spend more time with your mother; if she has anything, report it to me promptly."
Su Zhifei naturally still hoped his parents could reconcile, so he nodded seriously and said: "Dad, rest assured, I understand."
Su Shoudao nodded, stood up, and dragging his suitcase said: "Alright, I'm leaving."
Su Zhifei hurriedly asked: "Dad, roughly when will you be back?"
Su Shoudao shook his head and said: "That depends on your grandfather's decision; as for the exact time, I don't know either."
Having said that, Su Shoudao waved his hand: "No more talk."
Immediately after, he pulled his suitcase and strode toward the door.
Su Zhifei hurriedly stepped forward, took the suitcase from his hands, and said: "Dad, I'll take you to the airport!"
Su Shoudao said: "No need, just see me off and then come back."
At this moment, in the spacious villa courtyard, a Lexus LM business vehicle was already waiting in the yard.
The Toyota Alphard itself is already the top-tier business vehicle domestically, and this new model Lexus LM is one grade higher than the Alphard.
Su Shoude stood by the car door, watching Su Shoudao stride out, wearing a smile.
Even though they were still a few meters apart, Su Shoude hurried forward, smiling warmly: "Oh dear, big brother, please get in quickly, we need to set off right away!"
Su Shoudao said coldly: "It's me who needs to leave, not you—why are you in such a hurry?"
Su Shoude didn't get angry, laughing and saying: "Oh dear, big brother, I'm not doing this for your own good, am I? The old master is urging us tightly; if you move even a little slowly, he'll surely be displeased again!"
Su Shoudao felt furious inside—originally full of anger, he wanted to give Su Shoude a nasty look, but he didn't expect that Su Shoude would always bring up the old master as a shield; if he still gave him a cold face now, the old master would surely hear bad things about him later.
Helpless, Su Shoudao could only suppress his anger and said: "Since it's the father's order, let's hurry up and go!"
After saying that, he greeted the driver to take the suitcase from Su Zhifei's hands and place it in the rear of the business vehicle, then said to Su Zhifei: "Zhifei, take good care of your mother and your younger sister."
Su Zhifei hurriedly said: "I know, Dad, you can rest assured..."
Su Shoudao also said nothing, stepped into the rear seat of the business vehicle, waved his hand at Su Zhifei to indicate he should go back.
Su Shoude laughed and sat beside Su Shoudao, saying to Su Zhifei: "Alright, Zhifei, go rest; I'll see your father onto the plane."
After saying that, he told the driver: "Alright, hurry up and drive!"
The driver immediately started the car and sped away in a cloud of dust.
Su Zhifei watched the business vehicle leave the villa courtyard, feeling deeply disappointed.
Tonight, he felt almost as tormented as the night he and Su Zhiyu were kidnapped.
Back then, he and Su Zhiyu faced only a threat to life.
But tonight, he had successively endured the exposure of his father's illegitimate daughter, parental estrangement, his father's sudden loss of power, and being dispatched to Australia—a series of upheavals.
In his heart, he worried not only about his parents' relationship and his father's future, but also felt anxious about his own future.
Before tonight, his father was the next-generation heir of the entire Su family.
And he himself, naturally, was the heir after that.
But tonight's upheaval has changed all of that.
His father has already lost the old master's affection and trust.
If he thus loses power and never recovers, then his own future will inevitably be bleak.
If Su Shoude becomes the heir, then he himself will have no chance at all!
The distressed Su Zhifei returned listlessly to his sister's study; at this moment, Su Zhiyu was still in front of the computer, continuously checking photos of male passengers at Japanese airports.
Seeing Su Zhifei return, Su Zhiyu glanced at him, somewhat sulky, and asked: "What did Dad want with you? Is he just making excuses to clear his name?"
"Nothing..." Su Zhifei let out a long sigh: "Ah! Dad was driven out to Australia by Grandfather!"
"What?!" Su Zhiyu exclaimed in astonishment: "Dad was driven out to Australia? When did this happen?"
"Just now." Su Zhifei said with a face full of worry: "Dad has already packed his luggage and left; Second Uncle took him to the airport."
Su Zhiyu asked puzzledly: "Why does Grandfather want to drive Dad out to Australia?! From beginning to end, the only thing related to Dad is his relationship with Su Ruoli; even if Dad's having an illegitimate daughter is exposed, it's not really a big deal, so why is Grandfather doing this?"
Su Zhifei said: "Dad said, Grandfather wants him to take the blame."
Su Zhiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out: "Oh no, oh no, this is terrible…… Now that Dad has left, Grandfather will surely pile all the blame on him……"
Having said that, Su Zhiyu said nervously: "I think, Grandfather might even publicly claim that the decision to sell out Su Ruoli was made by Dad! That way, he could wash away the stigma of selling out his own granddaughter, while Dad would have to bear the black pot of selling out his own daughter!"
Su Zhifei said helplessly: "This is also unavoidable…… Grandfather wants Dad to leave tonight, and Dad also cannot not go……"
Su Zhiyu looked at Su Zhifei and said seriously: "Brother…… the Su family might be overturned this time……"
Su Zhifei asked: "You also feel that?"
Su Zhiyu nodded with a solemn expression and said solemnly: "Brother, I don't care about money or power, anyway I'm a girl and couldn't inherit much family property anyway, but you're different—if our father can't stand up again this time, then your future is also ruined……"
Su Zhifei covered his face and said with deep sorrow: "But what can we do? It's clear that Grandfather is eager to shift the blame, and the best scapegoat is our father……"
Having said that, he added: "Moreover, the charge of selling out one's own daughter is too vicious; once this crime is confirmed on our father's head, then in the eyes of outsiders, our father will be seen as an extremely heartless person, the impact will surely be extremely bad, and just based on this, Grandfather will absolutely not let him inherit the position of family head of the Su family……"
Saying this, Su Zhifei sighed softly: "Ah…… our family, from now on, might never be able to rise again……"
Su Zhiyu's beautiful brows furrowed tightly as she clenched her neat white teeth and declared firmly: "No way! We must take back Father's position as heir!"
Su Zhifei blurted out: "How do we take it back?!"
Su Zhiyu said coldly: "Don't ask for now. Tomorrow we'll go with Mother to Jin Ling, temporarily leave this place of trouble. As for exactly how to help Father regain everything, I have my own plan!"
