“Xiao He, thank you. I know what to do now.” Su Yu gave a firm kiss on Wang Jinhe’s face, a smile playing on his lips.
Su Yu’s mood suddenly improved. Although Wang Jinhe found it strange, she didn’t inquire further. “Don’t think too much about it. She probably won’t come again.”
Wang Jinhe thought that with Su Xi and Yang Zhenwei around, Yang Shanshan wouldn’t come again. However, she underestimated Yang Shanshan and her desire to control Su Yu, the object of her obsession.
After leaving the Xie family village, Yang Shanshan’s face remained unsightly. Su Qin sighed lightly and took her to see a doctor.
Back at home from the clinic, Su Qin looked at Yang Shanshan with a complicated expression. “Do you still want to continue like this?”
“Do you regret it?” Yang Shanshan looked at Su Qin with sharp eyes upon hearing his words.
Su Qin, seeing the anger in Yang Shanshan’s eyes, said, “Yes, I regret it. The harm we’ve caused to the three children is already too much. Don’t you realize that?”
“They don’t listen. Don’t blame me for treating them this way,” Yang Shanshan said angrily, still believing she had done nothing wrong, and the children wouldn’t be in this situation if they had just listened.
“Now that our relationship has deteriorated to this extent, do you really want them to sever all ties with us? Are you only happy when we become enemies? The children have grown up. It’s not like when they were little. Father-in-law once said something right: the children were raised by him and my dad. We’ve never had a say in how they were raised. Why should they listen to us?” The Su family’s ancestral teachings did not allow anyone to challenge them.
Earlier, Father was already angry, and if Yang Shanshan did anything else, it was only a matter of time before she provoked Su Xi’s fury.
“They are my children. Whatever I say, they must do. They must follow my orders. I gave birth to them, so they must do as I say,” Yang Shanshan couldn’t comprehend any other perspective. She only knew that the three children were hers, and they must obey her wishes.
She commanded them to do something, and they did it. She forbade them from doing something, and they refrained from it.
“Shanshan, you are too extreme. They are people, not dolls in your hands,” Su Qin strongly disagreed with Yang Shanshan’s approach.
Yang Shanshan glared at Su Qin with a cold gaze, filled with anger. “Are you tired of me?”
“Shanshan, you know that’s not what I meant.” Su Qin frowned for the first time, starting to doubt whether he was wrong.
“What do you mean, then? Why didn’t you say such things before? Now you think I’m wrong? What did I do wrong? I did nothing wrong,” Yang Shanshan said angrily.
In her eyes, she had done nothing wrong. The fault lay with those three children. If they had just listened, she wouldn’t have had to harm them.
Su Qin looked at Yang Shanshan’s ferocious expression, feeling a sense of dizziness. When did she become like this?
“Shanshan, you weren’t like this before. Why have you become like this now?” Su Qin looked at Yang Shanshan with disappointment.
Yang Shanshan hated hearing this the most. In the past, whatever she did, Su Qin would help her. Now, Su Qin suddenly accused her of wrongdoing, and this behavior completely infuriated Yang Shanshan.
“Su Qin, are you accusing me? Who gave you the right to accuse me? Did someone say something to you?” Yang Shanshan raved.
Su Qin rubbed his temples with his hand, feeling somewhat annoyed by Yang Shanshan’s irrational behavior. Nevertheless, he walked over, reaching out to embrace Yang Shanshan. “Shanshan, let’s forget about everything. Let the children handle their own affairs. How about I take you somewhere else?”
He didn’t want Yang Shanshan to further escalate conflicts with the children, reaching a point of no return.
He knew that besides Xiao Yu, Xiao Jiu and Xuanxuan, although they harbored resentment towards Yang Shanshan, they still hoped that Yang Shanshan could return to her old self. If she continued on this path, there might be no chance in the future.
“Shanshan, Xiao Yu already considers you an enemy. Do you want all three of the children to treat you the same way?” Su Qin coaxed softly. He didn’t know if Yang Shanshan would take his words to heart, but he wanted to give it a try.
Yang Shanshan’s actions of pounding on Su Qin paused for a moment. Just when Su Qin thought she might be listening, Yang Shanshan coldly replied, “Su Qin, don’t talk to me about these things. Enemies? Can they even dare?”
“It’s not about whether they dare or not; Xiao Yu has already done it. I know you stayed behind to find an opportunity to trouble Xiao Yu. But besides making Dad and Father-in-law angry, what else can you gain? Or do you want Father-in-law to disable your martial arts before you’re content?” Su Qin looked at Yang Shanshan with disappointment.
“Su Qin, are you using my father to threaten me?” Yang Shanshan looked at Su Qin coldly, visibly angered.
“I’m not threatening you; I’m just stating a fact. Shanshan, if you continue like this, you’ll be the one who gets hurt in the end.” Su Qin expressed his concern with a furrowed brow.
Yang Shanshan didn’t want to continue talking to Su Qin. No matter what he said, she remained silent. Seeing this, Su Qin could only turn away in frustration to find someone to prepare medicine for her.
After Su Qin left, Yang Shanshan instructed her people to buy several courtesans from the famous brothels in town and send them to Wang Jinhao’s house.
“Miss, by doing this, Young Master…,” someone tried to advise.
“Follow my orders,” Yang Shanshan coldly interrupted.
The subordinates had no choice but to purchase several renowned courtesans from the nearby brothels and deliver them to Wang Jinhe’s residence.
When Su Yu saw those people, his eyes turned red with anger.
Su Xi knew where these people came from, and when he realized it, he nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.
Wang Jinhe quickly reached out to support Su Xi, patting his back to calm him. “Grandpa, don’t be angry. I’m fine.”
“Yang Shanshan has gone too far. Bringing people from the brothel, who does she think she’s mocking? Whom is she looking down upon?” Su Xi was furious.
Yang Zhenwei also didn’t expect Yang Shanshan to do such a disgusting thing.
“Where is Yang Shanshan?” Yang Zhenwei asked in a cold tone.
The guards who brought the courtesans bowed their heads, afraid to speak. Yang Zhenwei sternly demanded, “Speak.”
Under the pressure, the guard reluctantly revealed Yang Shanshan’s location. “In… in the town.”
“Yang Fang, go and bring that woman to me.” Today, Su Xi was determined to clean house.
Su Xi was in excellent health, but today he was nearly angered to the point of having a bad turn. Yang Shanshan was openly challenging the ancestral principles of the Su family. Su Xi would be strange not to be angry.
“Yes, Master.” The purchased courtesans exchanged glances, knowing they were being used as tools and were not well-regarded by these people.
What would be their fate from now on?
Su Xi calmed down and looked at these girls. In a deep voice, he said, “You can leave.”
