Chapter 52: Greens Are More Bitter Than Coptis (Addendum 3)

"He really loves to cry; do you want to see him cry?"

Su Yu tilted her head. 【It's not that it's impossible; he looks decent, so his crying shouldn't be too ugly! I can also keep his compromising photos and videos, so next time the elder uncle threatens him there will be fresh material.】

"He also loves to drink, reeking of alcohol and needing someone to keep him company. If you try to leave, he'll grab your pant leg and talk to you, smearing his booze stench all over you. If he cries, it'll be even worse—you'll be covered in his snot and tears!"

"No! No!"

Su Yu waved her hand and shook her head. 【The stench is unbearable, and the snot and tears are even more intolerable! Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit! Anyway, we already have the nude photos! But the elder uncle seems quite experienced?】

Zhu Xueheng: Su Xi, you still treat me like a buddy and go out drinking!

Su Xi calmly sent a photo over.

Su Xi: Do you want to see it on Hot Search?

Zhu Xueheng: I was wrong!

Zhu Xueheng: 【Kneeling and apologizing】. GIF

Zhu Xueheng gritted his teeth. Why did Zhu Xueheng tremble and send the photo out? And send it to Su Xi?!

Su Xi: Go work!

Zhu Xueheng: Alright, big brother, I'm going right away!

Su Xi: I will check!

Zhu Xueheng, with a bubble of tears in his eyes, sent a line, "Got it!"

Zhu Xueheng became ruthless!

"Expose Zhu Wenhua's shady deeds as well! All video material should be bought onto Hot Search! Money smuggling accounts!"

What does he make money for?

For his own happiness!

Since the future wife has already called it off, then the reckless and foolish dad, let's destroy together!

The PR department, just settled in the new company building, hurriedly released all the scandals Zhu Wenhua had committed over the years.

In recent years, Zhu Wenhua engaged in fraudulent donations, entangling married women, attempting to use a yin‑yang contract to trick young girls into building a beauty castle in a mountain village, and other deeds, each dropped onto Hot Search with pictures and videos, timelines crystal clear. Hot Search even thoughtfully ranked them by severity, making netizens increasingly angry!

Below each Hot Search entry, a timeline was thoughtfully added, so netizens wouldn't worry about confusion and could devote time and energy to spewing ZUAN quotes about Zhu Wenhua online.

Many of Zhu Wenhua's actions were foiled, yet they were enough to rile up netizens!

Especially that yin‑yang contract, which almost scammed a group of prospective college students planning summer jobs to earn tuition.

The Chu Family, Liang Family and other clans seized the chance, pouring oil into the mess, hoping to use Zhu Wenhua's scandal to suppress their own families.

Netizens, however, refused to buy it!

Especially Chu Han Ya of the Chu Family, who is already suspected of murder!

Why is no one dealing with her?

Ding An of the Ding family and his daughter were both arrested! Yet Chu Han Ya is still leisurely watching shows abroad on vacation?

Is the Ding family unworthy?

Zhu Wenhua, seeing Zhu Xueheng so ruthless, also had someone post online the alleged murder of Zhu Xueheng that Su Xi had rescued.

He himself personally went onstage to berate Zhu Xueheng as an unfilial son! For a minor misunderstanding and family dispute, he spread rumors to frame his own father, wasting public platform resources!

The internet descended into a chaotic mess! Every family's affairs were explosive enough, negative emotions flooded everywhere, sweeping every netizen!

Major platforms couldn't withstand the pressure from all sides; the software kept crashing.

The major platforms tacitly pretended to be dead, leisurely patching servers—fixing, then crashing. Once user numbers exceed the limit, gossip heat rises and the software inevitably collapses. No matter how many stars of bad reviews netizens give, they dare not fully fix it.

Netizens' fury ultimately fell to the endlessly recurring software crashes.

Indignant netizens silently boycotted the products of these scandal‑spawning families; they even prepared a guide, creating a public account in a chat app to quietly record everything.

This turmoil also suppressed Su Yu and Ji Yan's matters.

Since nothing could be posted online, with no viewers there's no revenue, the reporters that afternoon stopped staking out Su Yu and Su Xi and turned to digging up celebrities' black material.

Su family manor

Su Yu, as soon as she got home, complained to the great‑grandmother.

"Great‑grandmother, the elder uncle forced me to eat something I don't like!"

Yang Zhichun asked with a smiling face, "Is it vegetables or fruit? Sweetie, you need to eat vegetables and fruit; a balanced diet helps you grow!"

Su Yu buried her head in Yang Zhichun's arms, "It's not tasty at all!"

【I know I have to eat them, but the taste in my mouth is just awful! So hard to swallow! Why can't they just become a bit tastier on their own?】

Yang Zhichun patted Su Yu's head, "Your elder uncle also dislikes greens; I'll have him eat with you, okay?"

Su Yu looked up, gazing at Su Xi.

Su Xi's complexion was poor. This isn't his child, so coaxing her to eat greens shouldn't be the younger brother's job?

Seeing Su Xi's sour look, Su Yu giggled and nodded, "Alright! Alright! I'll eat one stalk, and the elder uncle will eat two!"

【Who told you you're older than me! Naturally you should eat a bit more!】

Yang Zhichun still smiled kindly, "Okay!"

At the dinner table, Su Xi wore a sour face the whole time.

Su Yu was so smug! It was her first time not finding greens disgusting!

【Hahaha! You make me eat more, so you have to eat more too! Anyway, greens are good for the body~】

Ji Yan looked at her daughter with some worry: how long will this illness take to cure? The reaction is too strong! Should she take her daughter back to live there? When they lived in the community before, she wasn't so picky. Every time she speaks, Su Yu, just like her dad, obediently eats the greens and fruit herself.

After dinner, Su Xi discussed with Su Yu, "We'll each compromise: if you finish the prescribed amount of vegetables and fruit each day, I won't force you to eat more! I'll have the chef try to mix vegetables into the meat. Fruit can't be helped; you don't want sweet‑and‑salty fruit, do you?"

Su Yu patted her slightly swollen belly, then pinched her chubby, fleshy paws; she indeed needed to eat vegetables and fruit.

"Alright!"

【I don't know why I love meat so much; greens taste in my mouth are truly more bitter than Coptis!】

The two clasped hands in oath, briefly reaching an agreement.

That evening, during the usual TV‑watching time, Su Xi opened the financial channel, but the report was about the Mu family's gossip news.

"According to reports, the actual head of the Mu family, Mu Shousheng, woke up this afternoon. Upon learning the Mu family's current situation, he immediately rushed to the ward to scold his unfilial son!"

In the footage shown on TV, the old master Mu struck Mu Jiguang with his cane in the ward. Mu Jiguang was more agile than the old master, continually dodging while taunting him, "The Mu family is going to fall!"

"You were toppled by the woman you brought home!"

The old master Mu trembled with rage all over, while Mu Jiguang kept striking where it hurts!

"Your chosen young son ran off with money!"

"The woman you've kept for so many years even brought her lover along!"

"Is the young son you favor really your own?"

"【This serious news channel is airing something not so serious!】"

Mu Jiguang angered the old master Mu, while the assistant silently handed him water and medicine.

The old master Mu picked up the medicine, saying, "I'll deal with you later!"

The old master Mu took the medicine, drank water, raised his cane again and swung hard at Mu Jiguang, then collapsed on the spot. In the video, the assistant caught the old master Mu and shouted loudly, "Doctor, nurse!"

The screen switched back to the host's view.

"Old Master Mu has again been angered into the emergency room; according to on‑scene reporters, his condition is worrying."

The host pointed to the screen. Reporters pursued the doctors with questions; every doctor hearing the questions shook his head, looking grim. Finally, the doctors rescuing Old Master Mu collectively went into a conference room to discuss the condition.

The host continued, "Because of this, Mu Clan has slumped, its stock hitting the limit down. Banks, suppliers and other institutions and individuals cooperating with Mu Clan have sent representatives to the hospital to demand payment from the current CEO, Mu Jiguang. The Mu Building may collapse; who knows whether Elder Mu Shousheng and Mr. Mu Jiguang can turn the tide and preserve Mu Clan's existing foundation?"

"【System, is this yours that won't let users die?】"

"【Yeah, isn't it powerful? The system detects that Mu Shousheng needs to take medicine, so the effect of the coma card will automatically be interrupted. After Mu Shousheng finishes his medicine, his condition can sustain a period of sleep, and the coma card will take effect, continuing to work. This absolutely will not let users die! It's thoughtful and safe, and may even produce a different strike effect on enemies—truly a must‑have home card!】"

"【It's indeed powerful; this time it's also quite on point. Seeing the news, who wouldn't scold Mu Jiguang as an unfilial son, nearly angering his father to death!】"

Wulongcha nodded, "After all, he's our enemy—the worse he fares, the happier we are!"

"【Exactly! The worse the enemy, the better!】"

Su Yu was very happy!

She swung her little feet, and after watching TV for half an hour she obediently pulled Ji Yan along back to the room to wash up and sleep.

"Mom, I did something big today!"

"What big thing did you do?"

Ji Yan used a dry‑hair cap to wipe Su Yu's hair.

"There's an older sister who was tricked by a bad person! That bad person even wanted to kill her with gas! He locked her in a room, waiting for another bad person to bully her!"

Ji Yan furrowed her brows, turned to face Su Yu, and asked, "Is this the TV drama you're watching?"

Su Yu shook her head; wet hair slapped her face, and Ji Yan quickly grabbed a nearby dry towel to wipe her face.

"Just speak, Mom is listening!"

"It was Uncle who took me to see it."

Ji Yan understood even less—why did Big Brother inexplicably take Xiao Yu to see this? Before she could ask, Su Yu kept chattering.

"One of Uncle's friends, that uncle, was too stupid and got scammed! He was even locked up at the police station, so Uncle was asked to bail him out."

Ji Yan knew that last night's hot search would attract many reporters.

She couldn't control Su Yu; before, Su Yu secretly watched TV and she didn't know. Grandma was too old and had limited energy, so she couldn't watch her all the time. Therefore, Su Xi felt uneasy leaving Su Yu alone to run around the manor, fearing she might be schemed against, so he wanted to bring her to the company for him to supervise, and Ji Yan had agreed at the time.

Now Ji Yan regrets a little. She should have gone along. If she had taken Xiao Yu to the company, Big Brother could have handled his own affairs and wouldn't have brought Xiao Yu to the scene to watch.

After Su Yu finished speaking, seeing Ji Yan's complexion not good, she cautiously asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Did you go to the scene to watch?"

"Mom, which one are you referring to?"

"【What is Mom angry about?】"

"That older sister's thing—did you go to the scene to watch?"

"【That's it—I actually wanted to go!】"

Su Yu glanced at Ji Yan, seeing her expression unchanged, and quickly said, "Mom, I didn't see it; I only saw the textual material in Uncle's hand. We looked at it together—I was bored~ That older sister is so miserable!"

"【She hid her identity, perhaps thinking she would gain love, but ended up with illness.】"

Ji Yan didn't ask how miserable that girl was, but instead repeated her earlier question to Su Yu: "What big thing did you do?"
