Chapter 22: Shameless

Under a tree at the school, Su Guodong was smoking and looking around.

When a male student passed by, Su Guodong took out a cigarette and said to the student, “Hey, little brother, want a smoke?”

The male student hesitated for a moment, then looked around to make sure there were no teachers or school leaders. He took the cigarette and said, “Thanks, uncle.”

Su Guodong smiled and said, “No problem, let me light it for you.”

Then, the two of them smoked under the shade of the tree, becoming smoking buddies and getting closer.

The male student asked, “Uncle, are you not a teacher at the school?”

Su Guodong replied, “Of course not, I’m a parent of a student. My daughter is called Su Mengli, do you know her?”

The male student said, “Of course, I’m her classmate.”

Su Guodong smiled and said, “That’s good. Do you know which student my daughter has been getting close to lately? She doesn’t even come home anymore, and I’m worried she might get taken advantage of!”

The male student hesitated and said, “Are you asking me to snitch? That’s not a good idea.”

Su Guodong took out a whole box of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into the student’s pocket. He said, “What snitching? I’m Su Mengli’s father, and I’m just concerned about my daughter. Since you’re her classmate, you should help me.”

The box of cigarettes made the male student happy. In this day and age, it wasn’t common for middle school students to casually spend fifty yuan on cigarettes.

This box of cigarettes would give him face in front of other smoking classmates, so he naturally wouldn’t hide it.

“Since you’re so sincere, I can’t hide it anymore. Su Mengli has been getting close to a guy named Ye Xuan. I heard they’re even dating! I didn’t expect Su Mengli to not even come home anymore. It’s a pity for such a good girl,” the male student said, with a hint of envy and jealousy. In adolescence, who didn’t have a secret crush?

Undoubtedly, with Su Mengli’s looks and figure, there were many who secretly admired her.

But very few dared to take action, especially after Su Mengli had been harassed by Zheng Biao. Any male student who approached Su Mengli would be taught a lesson.

So, their thoughts remained as thoughts. But now, Ye Xuan had taken advantage of the situation, and the male student couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous.

Su Guodong, upon hearing this, was furious. “I knew it! This disobedient girl is dating someone. I have to teach this kid a lesson!”

The male student looked at Su Guodong and said, “Uncle, what will you do? Are you just an average person in society?”

Su Guodong felt a bit embarrassed and said vaguely, “Why are you asking?”

If he had been doing well, his daughter wouldn’t be living such a tight life, and he wouldn’t have gotten divorced.

The male student laughed and said, “Well, Ye Xuan is not easy to mess with. His father is a boss, and his sister is a top-notch lawyer. I heard they have quite a reputation. If you really go find him, who knows who will end up teaching who a lesson.”

Su Guodong, hearing this, sneered. “Hmph, so what if they have some money? In the end, he’s just a brat. Am I supposed to be afraid of him? Just wait and see!”

After saying these harsh words, Su Guodong walked away. The male student watched him leave and chuckled, “This uncle sure talks tough…”

After school in the evening, Ye Xuan, as usual, rode his bike to take Su Mengli back to Ye Xue’s house.

Not far behind them, on an electric scooter, Su Guodong followed them slowly. He planned to catch them in the act after they arrived home!

Having learned from his previous experience, Ye Xuan rode at a steady speed, perfectly protecting Su Mengli’s backside.

Of course, for safety reasons, Su Mengli still held onto Ye Xuan’s back.

Both Ye Xuan and Su Mengli enjoyed this time together on the bike. It seemed like they were in a separate world, completely cut off from the outside.

They could still feel each other’s warmth, and at this moment, it seemed like there was only the two of them in the world, making them deeply immersed and unwilling to let go.

Finally, the bike arrived at the residential area. Ye Xuan parked the bike and entered the building with Su Mengli, waiting for the elevator.

At this moment, a voice said, “Where are you two going?”

Su Mengli’s face changed slightly. “Dad, why are you here?”

Su Guodong said coldly, “Why am I here? You tell me why I’m here! Living together with a boy! You’ve brought shame to our Su family!”

Su Mengli angrily said, “I haven’t!”

Su Guodong shouted, “You haven’t? I’ve been following you since school, coming home together, coming to this residential area together. Are you still not admitting it?”

Ye Xuan, listening to Su Guodong’s words, said coldly, “If you want to know if we live together, come up and find out.”

Saying that, Ye Xuan pulled Su Mengli into the elevator, and Su Guodong immediately followed. “I want to see how you’re going to explain yourselves!”

Soon, the elevator reached the sixteenth floor, and the three of them got off. Ye Xuan knocked on the door, and Ye Xue opened it. Ye Xue had a smile on her face, but when she saw Su Guodong, her expression darkened for a moment. “Why is he here?”

Ye Xuan explained, “He secretly followed us here. He said I’m living together with Mengli and that it’s bringing shame to the Su family.”

Ye Xue, upon hearing this, said, “Uncle Su, although you’re Mengli’s father, you can’t just make baseless accusations. This is my home, where Mengli and I live. My brother was just giving Mengli a ride.”

Su Guodong didn’t believe it and said, “If you don’t believe it, come in and see for yourself. There are two sets of living necessities here, one is mine and one is Mengli’s. Take a look, is there any men’s stuff here? No man has ever lived here, let alone anything else.”

Su Mengli also said, “Dad, don’t judge others based on your narrow-mindedness. They helped me without any conditions, without asking for anything in return. And you, you treat me as a tool and bargaining chip for your own good life!”

Su Guodong didn’t respond to Su Mengli. He entered the room and looked around.

Inside the room, there were indeed only two sets of living necessities, and there wasn’t even a pair of men’s slippers, let alone anything else.

However, Su Guodong still refused to give up. He sat on the sofa confidently and said, “Even if you’re not living together now, so what? Do you have feelings for my daughter?”

Ye Xuan looked at Su Guodong and said, “So what if I do?”

Su Guodong arrogantly said, “You admit it! Let me tell you, because of my daughter dating you, I’ve become homeless and have nowhere to live. I’ll give you two choices. First, break up with my daughter and let her accept my arrangements. Second, give me this apartment so I have a place to live. Then, you can do whatever you want, and I won’t interfere!”
