City T
Su Rongqi had been cooped up at home all day with a tight - lipped expression. It was obvious to everyone that he was in a bad mood. And no wonder! Ever since Su Yuze had outmaneuvered him, Su Rongqi's mood had never improved!
"Dad, we're here." Su Kaiming walked in with a basket of fruits in his hand, smiling brightly. Compared with Su Rongqi, Su Kaiming was in a much better mood.
"Yeah." Su Rongqi responded casually, "Sit down."
Su Meimei walked in boldly. She was wearing a very revealing outfit that looked quite fashionable. But Su Rongqi glanced at her and said, "Meimei, it's still quite cold. You can't dress so lightly."
Now that Su Meimei knew that Su Rou was not a member of the Su family and had already gone abroad, she couldn't be happier. She wished they had discovered it earlier! So she didn't take Su Rongqi's scolding to heart. "Got it, Grandpa."
Su Rongqi silently sat back on the sofa. Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up and answered, "Hello?"
"..."
"Keep trying to contact him."
These two short sentences made Su Kaiming's smile freeze for a moment. "Dad, you... are still trying to contact Yuze?" Su Yuze had already gone to the United States. Did Su Rongqi still not want to let him go?
Or was it that Su Rongqi actually still wanted Su Yuze to take charge of the family business? Did he still not trust him?
"What, can't I contact Yuze?" Su Rongqi retorted coldly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Liu Rulan stepped forward and tugged at Su Kaiming's hand, trying to smooth things over. "Yuze is a member of the Su family. Of course you can contact him, right, honey?"
Su Kaiming suppressed his dissatisfaction and anger. He gritted his teeth and nodded. "Yes, you can."
Su Rongqi said nothing more. He just sat on the sofa silently, reading the newspaper.
Liu Rulan smiled. "Hongyu, Meimei, go and have a chat with Grandpa for a while."
"Okay." Su Hongyu replied.
Su Meimei was playing with her phone and didn't seem very eager to go. But under Liu Rulan's stern look, she reluctantly followed Su Hongyu over.
Liu Rulan then pulled Su Kaiming aside. "Honey, watch your attitude." Talking to the old man like that would only make the old man even more dissatisfied with him!
"What attitude do I have?" Su Kaiming was a bit agitated. "I've been currying favor with him for so long. Yuze has been gone for three months, and I've been pleasing him for three months, but he still treats me like this!" In fact, the old man just favored Su Yuze more!
Liu Rulan was a bit anxious. She nervously glanced at the sofa. Hongyu and Meimei were chatting with Su Rongqi. They probably wouldn't notice them. "Keep your voice down! The old man is getting on in years. How much longer do you think he has? As long as Yuze doesn't come back, won't the Su Corporation be yours?"
Su Kaiming understood this logic, but he still felt irritated when he saw the old man favoring Su Yuze so much.
"Honey, the most important thing now is... to guard against the second brother." The Su Corporation would be passed on to Hongyu in the future. What he had to do now was to lay a solid foundation for Hongyu to prevent Su Yue from taking advantage of any loopholes!
Su Kaiming sighed. "I know, but I'm just afraid..."
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm worried that Yuze will come back..." Su Kaiming frowned as he said.
"But didn't you say at that time that Su Yuze made a deal with you and he wouldn't return to the country?" Liu Rulan was puzzled. Wasn't that the truth?
Su Kaiming let out a heavy breath. "I don't know anymore..."
At that time, he had just demanded that Su Yuze not return to the country, but Su Yuze hadn't given him a definite answer. Moreover, he had also set Su Yuze up at that time. He didn't know if Su Yuze would take revenge...
Liu Rulan fell silent too. The whole family couldn't figure out this kid, Su Yuze. If he really came back for revenge, no one would be able to stop him!
Just then, the door of the Su family mansion opened again. It was Su Yue's family. Su Yue was also carrying some gifts in his hand. "Dad, we're here."
Then, Su Yue's gaze fell on Su Kaiming. "Hey? Big brother, what are you two doing there?"
Liu Rulan was slightly startled, then said, "We're not doing anything. Your big brother and I are just putting away the fruits." Liu Rulan pointed at the fruit basket in her hand and laughed it off.
Su Yue nodded thoughtfully. "Oh." Putting away fruits? Did it take two people to do that? They must have been whispering to each other.
Su Yue didn't expose Liu Rulan. He just said to Su Ziqi, "Ziqi, go and have a chat with Grandpa for a while."
Su Ziqi nodded and walked over.
Su Kaiming was the first to step out of the corner. He smiled and said, "Su Yue, you're late again."
"Anyway, it's not dinnertime yet. It's okay." Su Yue said, "But you guys always come so early, big brother. You're really so leisurely."
Su Yue's words were full of sarcasm. Oh, saying that I'm late. Isn't it just implying that I don't value the old man enough? Then you come so early. Aren't you just trying to curry favor with the old man?
Su Kaiming's face changed. The two brothers stared at each other for a few seconds. Then Su Kaiming gave a faint smile, averted his gaze, and said no more. He slowly walked towards Su Rongqi, planning to make a cup of tea for the old man. But as he passed by the sofa, he heard Su Ziqi's question. "Grandpa, haven't you found Brother Yuze yet?"
Su Rongqi let out a heavy breath. "We've found out where he is, but we can't get in touch with him." He really didn't know what Su Yuze was thinking.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. Brother Yuze is very capable. He will definitely come back." Su Ziqi said.
"Ziqi, you've become much more sensible." Su Rongqi looked at Su Ziqi appreciatively. Indeed, Su Ziqi had been much more obedient and sensible in the past few months.
When Su Kaiming heard this, he couldn't help but clench the paper cup in his hand tightly. Acting! He knew what kind of person Su Ziqi was. How could he say such things? It must have been instigated by Su Yue!
Su Yue also walked over. "Dad, I've also been helping to contact Yuze recently. We'll definitely be able to get in touch with him."
"Good." Only then did Su Rongqi's expression soften a bit.
Su Meimei glanced at Su Ziqi. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she asked sharply, "When Brother Yuze comes back, Su Rou won't come back with him, right?" She really didn't want Su Rou to return to the Su family.
Hearing Su Meimei's words, Su Ziqi's expression froze for a moment. Su Rongqi fell silent. If they wanted Su Yuze to come back, he would surely bring Su Rou with him. Then... in what capacity would Su Rou return?
