“For so many years, Xie Yang, I thought you were a smart girl who could see clearly that Xiao Yu doesn’t like you, even dislikes you. However, I overestimated you. Despite knowing that Xiao Yu has no affection for you, you persistently entangle yourself, running to Yang Shanshan and others, spreading baseless rumors. Hasn’t my father talked to you about this? You can never enter the Su family door.”
Su Long, with a disdainful gaze, looked at Xie Yang. His eyes were filled with sarcasm.
“Uncle, you’re back.” Su Jiu walked up to Su Long. His return was indeed timely. With just one sentence, he rendered Xie Yang speechless. Uncle was truly formidable.
Su Long looked at Su Jiu. “If you have something, go attend to it. No need to waste time here with people.”
“In that case, Uncle, I’ll go back first.”
“Go.”
After Su Jiu left, Su Long turned to Xie Yang. With a cold and indifferent expression, he said, “Xie Yang, don’t come to the Su family again. No one in my Su family welcomes you. Xiao Yu’s family matters are known throughout the entire Su family; we just haven’t let Yang Shanshan and others know. In addition, everyone in our family is waiting for their return.”
“If you still want some face, don’t appear in front of Xiao Yu in the future. Yang Shanshan and Su Qin are not disciplined; I won’t be polite to you anymore next time. In the future, there’s no need to let Miss Xie in. See her off.”
“Yes, Family Head.”
Xie Yang had never faced setbacks since she was young, only in the Su family. Initially, it was the Su Jiu that asked her to leave, and now, it was still the Su family telling her to leave.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never felt so humiliated.
Staring fixedly at the plaque of the Su family, Xie Yang turned and left.
Only accepting that woman, right? She wanted to see if, after death, they would still firmly believe in only that woman.
Su Jiu had just returned to his courtyard and hadn’t had a chance to write a letter to Su Yu when Yang Shanshan and Su Qin came over.
“When did Xiao Yu find someone?” Yang Shanshan asked with a gloomy face.
“Not too long ago, just about half a year.” Su Jiu’s voice was calm, completely indifferent to Yang Shanshan’s anger.
Yang Shanshan glared at Su Jiu. “You knew a long time ago?”
“Yeah, I knew early on. Not only me, but everyone else in the family knew. It’s just that you guys didn’t know.” Su Jiu seemed to feel that Yang Shanshan’s anger wasn’t enough, so he continued to add fuel to the fire.
And he succeeded.
“Why didn’t you tell us, Su Jiu?” Did he not know what he was doing?
Su Jiu looked at Yang Shanshan. “Why should I tell you? Tell you and let you go trouble Xiao He and Xiao Yu? I told you; it doesn’t matter if you like Xiao Yu. It only matters if Xiao Yu likes her.”
Yang Shanshan trembled with anger. “Just a village girl, and you think she’s worthy…”
“Unfortunately, the people you don’t like, Grandpa and Uncle both really like. The Emperor and Empress have praised them multiple times. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, Grandpa Yang is at Xiao He’s house now. Or… I can give you the address, and you can go try?” Su Jiu’s lips curled slightly, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
Su Qin frowned. Even his father-in-law knew about it?
Three years ago, Xiao Yu was seriously injured and almost lost his life. Everyone knew, except them. This time, when Xiao Yu found the girl who saved him, everyone knew, yet they remained oblivious.
“Su Jiu, do you still consider us your parents? You didn’t tell us anything.” Su Qin’s voice carried anger.
“No.”
At this moment, Su Qin thought he was hearing things. He couldn’t believe what his eldest son just said.
Did he say “no”?
“Since you guys caused Rourou’s death and almost killed Xiao Yu, I haven’t treated you as my parents. Even if you act like our parents, you need to see if you’re worthy.” One sentence drained the color from Su Qin and Yang Shanshan’s faces.
“If you came here just to tell me this, I’m sorry, but there’s nothing more to say between us. Oh, by the way, let me remind you, Xie Yang won’t step into the Su family’s gates. Uncle and Grandpa won’t agree. I have official business to attend to.” Su Jiu looked at Yang Shanshan and Su Qin with an icy expression.
“We know we were wrong. We’ve apologized. What else do you want?” Yang Shanshan couldn’t stand being looked at like that by her own son. Su Qin frowned. Even his father-in-law knew about it?
“We know we were wrong. We’ve apologized. What else do you want?” Yang Shanshan couldn’t stand being looked at like that by her own son.
For such a long time, they had already received the punishment they deserved. What more did Su Jiu want from them? Did he want to see them dead to be satisfied?
“Apology? How come I don’t know about your apology? Just a cheap ‘sorry’? Or is it your nauseating so-called apology?” Su Jiu looked at Yang Shanshan and spoke each word deliberately.
“When did you sincerely apologize to me, to Xuanxuan, to Xiao Yu? Never, right? You’ve always been high and mighty, always thinking that we, your children, no matter how angry we get, can’t do anything to you. You’re so self-righteous, Yang Shanshan. If harm is done, it’s done. There’s a life between us siblings and you. I love a woman, Xuanxuan has an unborn child, and as for Xiao Yu, it’s his own destiny. We dislike you. Is it wrong for us to cut ties with you?” Su Jiu was adept at seeing through people’s hearts, especially those he had been around for a long time.
Su Jiu never felt he did anything wrong; he had done what he wanted to do. As for what happened to Yang Shanshan and them in the future, he couldn’t care less.
“Xiao Jiu, we…”
“Don’t come and tell me sorry. Your apologies can’t bring back everything we lost.” Su Jiu looked at them. “Please leave.”
Su Qin frowned, looking at Su Jiu. It wasn’t the first time he had seen Su Jiu look at them this way, but it was the first time it made him feel like he had truly lost his sons and daughter.
“Xiao Jiu, these things have been in the past for a long time. Can’t we let go and live our lives well?” Su Qin carefully chose his words, looking at Su Jiu.
“Su Qin, I admit you are a good husband, but you are definitely not a good father, let alone a good son. Someone like you only deserves to be with Yang Shanshan. As for anything else, don’t entertain wishful thinking. Those are things you don’t deserve.” Su Jiu looked at Su Qin, saying each word with emphasis.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t done anything. Indeed, you haven’t done anything substantial. You only stood by, watching indifferently as she harmed the three of us siblings. That’s the cruelest thing you’ve done.” Su Jiu looked at Su Qin, uttering each word with emphasis.
Su Qin stared blankly at Su Jiu. He had never imagined that this was the image he had in Su Jiu’s heart.
Looking at Su Jiu, he couldn’t help but recall the time when the three siblings used to play together when they were young.
“Xiao Jiu, can we go back to the way things were?”
Su Jiu smiled, a crazy smile, and then looked at Su Qin. “Are you worthy?”
