“Xiao Yu, we’re family, and I admit it was our fault, but we just…”
“No need for your apology, and you don’t have to say so much. What you’re saying is pointless to me; it doesn’t matter anymore. I have other things to attend to. I’m leaving,” Su Yu said with a cold sneer.
Is there any point in apologizing now?
“Xiao Yu…”
“Second Young Master Su, let me remind you and your wife of one thing: a late apology is cheaper than grass. Is your apology sincere?” Su Yu looked at Su Qin disdainfully.
One question left Su Qin speechless. Could he be unaware of whether his apology was sincere or not?
No matter what they said, the starting point was always Su Yu. They only wanted Su Yu’s forgiveness; otherwise, a mere servant was not worthy of their apology.
Seeing Su Qin’s silence, Su Yu found it quite amusing. “If you can’t even be sincere, what’s the point of apologizing? Your insincere apologies make me feel disgusted, hypocritical, and even repulsed.”
Su Qin wanted to say more, but Su Yu didn’t give him the opportunity and walked away from the conversation.
Watching Su Yu’s retreating figure, Su Qin was left in a daze. So, Xiao Yu was serious.
The next day, Su Qin and Lin Shanshan heard that Su Yu had requested to separate from the family and live independently. Many people from the family had also returned.
Upon receiving this news, Su Qin and Lin Shanshan hurried to find Su Xi. “Dad, what are you doing? Why did you agree to Xiao Yu’s request?”
Su Xi glanced at Su Qin and didn’t say a word. These people had the audacity to ask him this question now. Where were they when this was unfolding?
“Why? Because Xiao Yu is disappointed in all of you. Because Xiao Yu doesn’t want to return to the Su family. He can even give up all his rights in the Su family. Do you think I can stop him? Besides, these past two years, Xiao Yu has been living independently, which isn’t any different from what he’s proposing now. It’s just that you didn’t know it.” Su Xi said and couldn’t be bothered to engage with the two of them any further. Whatever they said, he remained silent, as his silence spoke volumes.
The next morning, everyone gathered together. When they learned that Su Yu wanted to live independently, everyone was stunned.
” Xiao Yu, why are you doing this? We can talk about anything you want. Don’t be impulsive.”
“Second Master, I’ve thought this through very clearly. I know what I want and what I don’t want,” Su Yu said to Second Master Suseriously.
Second Master Su glared at Su Qin and and his wife, angrily saying, “What have you done to Xiao Yu that made him want to live separately?”
“Not much, just that they physically assaulted Yuan Bao, and now he’s still lying in bed, injured and unwell.” Su Yu hadn’t even spoken, and Su Xi had already started to talk.
Second Master Su glared at Su Qin and yelled at her, “Su Qin, you ungrateful people! If it weren’t for Yuan Bao, Xiao Yu would have been gone a long time ago. Instead of being grateful, you even laid your hands on him?”
Su Qin looked at Second Master Su in shock, “You… You also know about this?”
“Do you think it’s strange that we know? Everyone in the Su family is aware of it. It’s only you two who are completely ignorant of this matter. Are you even qualified to be parents?” Second Master Su was furious.
Hearing this, both Su Qin and his Wife looked at Su Yu. It turns out that Su Jiu was right; everyone in the family knew about it, but they, as parents, were completely clueless. Were they even qualified to be parents?
Looking at the way these two were staring at him, Su Yu silently smiled and said, “You two really don’t have to look at me like this. Your looks won’t change anything.”
Su Xi cleared his throat and addressed everyone present, “Now that everyone is here, and considering that’s what Su Yu intends, what do all of you have to say?”
“Su Yu has already mentioned that he is willing to relinquish all of the family’s assets. If you still trust him, you can continue to let him manage the assets, and everyone will receive their share of the earnings each year,” Su Xi glanced at Su Yu, then shifted his gaze to the others in the room.
Su Qin couldn’t believe his ears, even though he had learned about this yesterday. Hearing Su Xi say it in front of all these people was still astonishing.
“Xiao Yu…”
“It seems like our relationship hasn’t improved to that extent,” Su Yu said to Yang Shanshan without expression.
Su Yu’s response left Yang Shanshan in silence. After thinking for a long time, she asked, ” Xiao Yu, what would it take for you to forgive us?”
Su Yu smiled and replied, “I won’t forgive you no matter what.”
Su Xi, however, shook his head and said, “You brought this upon yourselves. Back when you laid your hands on Su Yu, we advised against it, but you chose not to listen. Now that Su Yu doesn’t trust you, it’s your own doing, and you have no one to blame but yourselves.”
“I agree that Su Yu should continue managing the family’s assets. After all, Su Yu has more talent in this area than any of us. Whether he leaves the family to live on his own or not, Su Yu is still part of the Su family, and we trust him,” Su Jiu said directly.
Su Jiu had no talent for business, and the wealth he had accumulated over the years was largely due to his money-making younger brother. Regardless of the business ventures he pursued, Su Yu would always set aside a share for him to earn, giving him a cut of the profits.
People around them nodded in agreement, and one of them said, “We also trust Su Yu.”
Over the years, Su Yu had helped them earn a significant amount of money. They didn’t want to settle for the meager annual dividends that came from the family’s assets. In previous years, their family had received dividends ranging from 30,000 to 50,000, and that didn’t even include their personal businesses. This was a significant advantage that they weren’t willing to pass up.
Su Yu nodded nonchalantly, “Alright, if you’ve all entrusted the family assets to me, then don’t question my decisions moving forward.”
He definitely doesn’t like it when people come to disturb him and his work.
“That’s for sure. Do you think we don’t know about this quirk of yours?” In the past, there were people who attempted to give Su Yu advice, but after he abruptly stopped listening to them for a month, the Su family members became completely obedient. They didn’t dare to interfere with Su Yu’s work. After all, if he decided to stop working again, they wouldn’t be able to find someone as skilled as him. It’s better to mind their own business and avoid provoking Su Yu, as meddling could cost them money and even lives.
“Good to know. Now that we’ve discussed the matter of the family assets, should we move on to the topic of splitting the family?” Su Yu raised an eyebrow, suggesting it was time to discuss the family separation.
He wanted to get everything settled so he could go back and see Xiao Bao and Xiao He, his wife and child. How long had it been since he left them? He was starting to miss them.
