“Dad, I just want to witness Xiao Yu’s marriage, to see him live a good life,” Su Qin said bitterly.
He knew that over the years, the harm they had caused to Su Yu was too great. Su Yu might not even want to see them. He just wanted to witness Xiao Yu’s marriage, hoping to see him find his own happiness.
Su Xi looked at Su Qin with a mocking smile. “Su Qin, it’s too late for you to try to make amends for Xiao Yu now. Xiao Yu doesn’t need your redemption because you truly don’t deserve it.”
“I…”
“Can you say that you knew nothing about what Yang Shanshan did? No, you knew everything, but even so, you didn’t stop her. Over the years, have you ever once stood up for Xiao Yu and his siblings?” Su Qin knew about what Yang Shanshan had done to the three siblings, but he had never intervened, never advised against her extreme actions.
Su Qin’s face turned pale, and he hung his head, unable to meet Su Xi’s eyes.
The sharp gaze of his father made him see the absurd things he had done over the years.
“Dad… I…”
“Why did Yang Shanshan become so reckless? Apart from Xiao jiu and the others making the mistake of not informing us, the most crucial factor is that you, as their father, did not protect them. It’s also because you, as the husband, did not stop Yang Shanshan’s actions, allowing her to escalate her actions.” Su Xi said angrily.
If Su Qin had stopped Yang Shanshan’s actions when he first discovered them, things wouldn’t have reached this point.
There is also Su Qin’s responsibility in Yang Shanshan reaching the extreme state she is in today.
It’s only natural that Xiao Yu won’t forgive him, and Su Qin thinks Xiao Yu probably doesn’t want to see him at his own wedding.
“Su Qin, Xiao Yu probably doesn’t want to see you on a day like this. Don’t embarrass yourself too much,” Su Xi sighed lightly and said, “Once a mirror is broken, it’s hard to mend; once water is spilled, it’s hard to retrieve. Su Qin, you should understand this truth.”
Su Qin tightly pursed his lips and gave a self-deprecating smile. Yes, Xiao Yu probably never wants to see him again.
“Dad, what you said is right. I, the one who hurt Xiao Yu, have no right to appear at his wedding,” Su Qin lowered his eyes, as if he had made a decision. “Dad, help me tell Xiao Yu that I will restrain Shanshan and not let her disturb his life again.”
“Su Qin, you don’t have the authority to make decisions for me,” Yang Shanshan said angrily.
“If you continue like this, Shanshan, I will take measures that I consider right,” Su Qin looked seriously at Yang Shanshan. This time, he won’t let her make the same mistakes again.
Seeing Su Xi and the others like this, Xiao Yu is probably about to get married. Bringing someone bought from the brothel for the son just before his wedding is something most people really wouldn’t do.
“What can you do?” Yang Shanshan said disdainfully.
Yang Shanshan’s skeptical attitude left Su Qin silent. Does she think he won’t do anything?
“I may not be able to do much else, but I can divorce my wife,” Su Qin looked at Yang Shanshan and said each word deliberately.
The mention of divorce angered Yang Shanshan. Her hand, ready to strike, was stopped by Su Qin. “I’ve helped you make too many mistakes. I won’t let you make another one. Shanshan, turn back.”
Yang Shanshan forcefully pushed Su Qin away, and her eyes carried anger and sarcasm as she looked at him. “Since when did you become so hypocritical, Su Qin?”
“Shanshan…”
“We’ve reached this point, do you think saying ‘turn back’ will change anything?” Yang Shanshan stared into Su Qin’s eyes and said mockingly.
A single sentence rendered Su Qin silent, and after a while, he spoke, “Even if turning back is not an option, I won’t let you continue down this wrong path.”
“Dad, I’ll take them away first,” Su Qin said, instructing his guards to escort Yang Shanshan away. Shixuan naturally followed suit.
Su Xi sighed lightly, “It’s all my fault.”
“It’s not your fault; everything is Yang Shanshan’s own fault. Her thinking is too extreme, and it’s not anyone else’s fault,” Yang Zhenwei defended.
Su Xi was about to say something more but was stopped by Yang Zhenwei, “Let’s not talk about them. As for what happens next, it depends on Yang Shanshan’s own fate.”
He could see that Su Qin was serious this time, not joking.
Throughout the whole process, Yu Bailin and the others did not intervene. They wanted to see how Su Qin and his family would handle the situation. While they weren’t entirely satisfied with the resolution, they begrudgingly accepted it.
“Let’s go back.”
After returning, Su Xi conveyed Su Qin’s words to Su Yu. The latter scoffed, “No need.”
Su Qin’s words sounded good now, but he couldn’t control Yang Shanshan. Soon, Su Qin would realize what kind of person Yang Shanshan truly was.
“Xiao Yu they already…” Su Xuan looked at Su Yu, wanting to advise him, but upon seeing the lifeless gaze in his eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything more.
“He’s the one who took Yuan Bao, and he’s the one who supported her cruelty. You can choose to forgive him, but soon you’ll realize how foolish your thoughts are.” Su Yu looked coldly at Su Xuan xuan.
He wouldn’t stop Su Xuan xuan, but she shouldn’t expect to persuade him either.
“Why are you so stubborn, Xiao Yu?”
“It won’t take three months. Just until this year’s Chinese New Year. When you go back then, you’ll see what he has become. Tell me about it then. Don’t mention them to me now.” Su Yu said coldly.
One sentence left Su Xuan xuan helpless, and she didn’t continue to say anything.
Wang Jinhe held Su Yu’s hand in silent comfort.
Su Yu turned to Wang Jinhe and smiled. He was long past the age of caring about such things.
“What do you really know, Xiao Yu? Why are you so certain that Su Qin will change by Chinese New Year?”
“It doesn’t matter what I know. What matters is that Yang Shanshan won’t change; on the contrary, she’ll escalate. Su Qin and she will end up harming each other. Shi Xuan is the catalyst for that. When Chinese New Year comes, you’ll see how everything unfolds.” Su Yu looked at them coldly and spoke seriously.
A single sentence sent shivers down everyone’s spine. If what Su Yu said is true, then was his purpose in placing Shi Xuan by Su Qin’s side merely to sow discord between them?
Seeing Yang Zhenwei and Su Xi looking at him with complicated expressions, Su Yu didn’t say a word, just took Wang Jinhe and left.
“Old Su, about Xiao Yu…” Yang Zhenwei could feel the hatred in Su Yu’s heart towards Yang Shanshan and Shi Xuan.
But where did this hatred come from?
Is it just because of what Yang Shanshan did to him? It shouldn’t be enough to make him hate her so much.
Wang Jinhe was forced to follow Su Yu out. When they reached the quiet foothills, Wang Jinhe softly asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Do you still remember what I told you before?”
“What?”
“If I tell you we’re the same kind.”
