Chapter 36: Bankruptcy of the Su Family
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Su happened to come to the Leng House to meet Su Ruoqing, wanting her to save Su Zhiyou.
Leng Yuhe frowned, “I’ll have them driven away so that they don’t get in the way of your rest.”
“No.” Su Ruoqing pulled Leng Yuhe, who had just stood up, “They’ve come just on time and it spares me a lot of trouble. Listen to me…”
Mr. and Mrs. Su were anxious in the hall. Knowing that Leng Yuhe was at home, they didn’t dare to make a loud noise, so they could only continue waiting restlessly.
“Do you understand? You must cooperate with me in this play. Let’s go downstairs then.”
“No hurry. I can’t move so soon just after dinner. Let them wait.”
“You are so delicate.” Although she muttered, Su Ruoqing was very fond of Leng Yuhe for his potent and warm behavior.
After half an hour, Su Ruoqing slowly came downstairs.
Mrs. Su was already in a hurry at this time, and when she saw the figure of Su Ruoqing, she shouted abuse, “You unconscionable ungrateful soul. You dare stay so long before you come downstairs. Do you want to keep your sister locked up in prison forever, or want us both to die in anxiousness?”
Although Mrs. Su’s words were harsh, Su Ruoqing just pretended that she hadn’t heard them, ‘Since she couldn’t keep a good life for long, just let her be arrogant for a while.’
Mr. Su hurriedly pulled back his wife who was going crazy in front of him, and whispered, “Shut up! If you annoy her, who can help us save Zhiyou? Idiot!”
They pushed each other, and heard a cold and majestic voice of a man from the stairs, “I’m just coming downstairs late for a while and you dare play powerful. Don’t forget where this is.”
Seeing that Leng Yuhe was about to burn up, the Sus kept quiet out of fear and just sat there silently.
“You should pay more attention to your health.” Leng Yuhe said to Su Ruoqing with a gentle look and put the shawl in his hand on her.
“It’s alright. Mr. Su and Mrs. Su have urgent business to talk with me, so I should hurry.” Su Ruoqing said softly and gently, while staring the Sus more and more fiercely.
Mr. Su perceived Su Ruoqing’s tone was weird, so he suppressed Mrs. Su and said himself, “Although you’re married now, don’t treat us as strangers, Qing.”
“Don’t say that, Mr. Su. I don’t deserve this. If there’s nothing serious, I’ll go to rest.” She signaled the housekeeper to see off the guests as she said that.
Mr. Su was a little frustrated, “Please wait, Young Madam. We really hope you can lend a hand today.” In order to save Su Zhiyou, he could only be humble and beg Su Ruoqing.
“Speak up. Don’t delay Qing’s rest.” worried about Su Ruoqing’s injured arm, Leng Yuhe became more impatient.
“Yes, yes. We come today just to ask you for help. Zhiyou has offended someone and has been locked up in prison for a long time. Nobody is allowed to visit her. We’re afraid that something might happen to her in prison, so…”
“So it is.” Su Ruoqing smiled, “Su Zhiyou has really offended someone, and I know this person very well.”
Mr. Su immediately sighed with relief, “Great. Since you know that person, you must help Zhiyou. Your sister has never suffered from hardship since she was born. I don’t know…”
Before Mr. Fu finished speaking, Su Ruoqing interrupted him.
“Don’t you want to know who that person is?”
Mr. Su was stunned, “Naturally I do. Who is that person…”
Su Ruoqing suddenly laughed, “Maybe you don’t know. It’s a coincidence that the person Su Zhiyou has offended is me, and it is also I that has put her in prison.”
Mr. Fu felt this sudden truth a little unacceptable, “What… what?”
On the other hand, Mr. Su had been suppressed for a long time. When she heard Su Ruoqing’s words, she slashed the table with her hands and stood up. She even forgot that Leng Yuhe was just sitting opposite her now.
“I have known that you are not kind for long, you little bitch. My daughter can do anything she likes to you and you have to bear it. How can you say she has offended you? You even dared to send her in prison. I will kill you today…”
“Guards!” Leng Yuhe shouted coldly and Mr. Su was so frightened that she kept her hand still which had not been reached out yet.
A group of guards rushed in instantly when they heard Leng Yuhe, “Yes, Sir.”
“These two people are disrespectful to Young Madam. Catch them.”
It wasn’t until the guards clasped their arms tightly and they were pressed to kneel on the ground that the Sus really felt afraid.
“Give us a break, Young General.” Mr. Su finally almost understood what had happened. He guessed it must because Zhiyou had provoked Su Ruoqing that she was locked up. Now they came to Young General’s Residence to ask for help, so it was like a lamb to the slaughter.
“Young General, my wife is so worried about our daughter that she is delirious now, and she doesn’t mean to offend Young Madam. Please be magnanimous and forgive us since we have nourished Young Madam after all.”
Leng Yuhe stood up and looked down, exuding terrible majesty.
“Nourish? Do you think I’m an idiot? You’re not my biological parents, and you’re not qualified to say this.”
The light words pressured the Sus so hard that they nearly couldn’t breathe. They knelt on the cold floor and could not feel the pain in their knees, while they were extremely frightened inwardly.
Large drops of perspiration formed on the foreheads of both of them. As Leng Yuhe walked, the drops fell off constantly.
“Please spare our lives, Young General. We didn’t mean to deceit…”
“It’s not impossible to forgive you.” Leng Yuhe walked slowly and approached the two people kneeling on the ground step by step.
“I remember that I have invested a lot of money for the Su Family twice in a row, right?”
Unaware why Leng Yuhe suddenly mentioned this, Mr. Su could just nod constantly and agree.
“I did that just for Qing. Since you’re not her biological parents, you’re not qualified to accept that. Although the money is a drop in the bucket for me, you must return it, every penny of it. Is that clear?”
The room was horribly quiet except for the tap of Leng Yuhe’s military boots as he walked on the ground.
Su Ruoqing looked aside with no expression on her face, but she kept laughing inwardly, because she hadn’t expected Leng Yuhe to be so good at acting.
He took out the pistol from his waist and played, “Can’t you hear me?”
Mr. Su watched the pistol and just froze there. He had heard that anyone caught by Leng Yuhe would die after suffering torture, and he absolutely didn’t want to fall into his hand. Moreover, he couldn’t die before Zhiyou was saved.
Although the Sus were both greedy and selfish, they truly loved Su Zhiyou.
“Please calm down, Young General. We can return all the money you have invested. I hope you will help us save Zhiyou for this sake.”
After that, Mr. Su got up and called the accountant of the factory. He asked the accountant to clear all the working capital and return it to Leng Yuhe, but he didn’t expect that there had been a disaster.
The working capital of the factory had been secretly removed by Su Zhiyou, and the Su family had nearly been emptied by Su Zhiyou in order to kidnap Su Ruoqing before that.
Mrs. Su was so frightened that she knelt on the ground motionlessly. After Mr. Su hung up the phone, he was totally overwhelmed because without money,
they might be killed by Leng Yuhe at any time.
Mr. Su tried his best and made a decision, “Young General, the factory of the Su Family occupies a lot of land, plus we have recently bought another piece of land. I hope this could offset the money we owe you.”
Leng Yuhe looked at Su Ruoqing and understood as she blinked.
“In that case, I can only accept it reluctantly.”
In just ten minutes, the quite rich
Su Family went penniless. It was completely bankrupt and Mr. Su seemed to age ten years in a moment. Then he was brought back to the Su Family to reclaim the factory land.
“Since you have taken back what you wanted, can you help us save Zhiyou now?”
“It’s not up to me. It’s up to Qing.” After speaking, he sat back beside Su Ruoqing.
Finally, the day of revenge came, but Su Ruoqing was not as happy as she had imagined.
“Do you know what Su Zhiyou did to me? She hired people to kidnap me, asked them to rape me, and tried to kill me. Do you think I would let her go easily?”
Seeing Mrs. Su kneeling on the ground blankly and silently, Su Ruoqing continued.
“Unfortunately, Su Zhiyou failed at everything she wanted to do. Like the saying ‘Go for wool and come home shorn.’, those people raped her instead.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Su suddenly raised her head and trembled all over.
“Those kidnappers were ugly and trivial. They raped her one after another. She screamed miserably, but no one saved her.”
Mrs. Su felt more pathetic and shouted, “Bitch, you bitch.”
Hearing Mrs. Su’s scolding, Leng Yuhe wanted to beat her, but Su Ruoqing quickly stopped him. She hardened her heart
and continued, “You can scold as you want. It is a pity my good sister is lying in prison with injuries all over her body now. By the way, she was shot in the shoulder and I hope her blood won’t run out.”
Mrs. Su was so angry and anxious that she fainted.
“Drag her out.”
“Wait.” Su Ruoqing suddenly stopped Leng Yuhe, “Let her go. Now that the Su Family is over, just send her back.”
“Do as Young Madam says.” The guards took Mrs. Su away, and only Leng Yuhe and Su Ruoqing were left in the huge room.
“Yuhe, do you think I’m too bad? I’m ruthless to them.” Su Ruoqing lost the ruthlessness just now, became herself and even shed tears.
Su Ruoqing detested herself somehow because she had lost herself for hatred.
Leng Yuhe held Su Ruoqing tightly in his arms, “Don’t be sad, Qing. If you are bad, then I’m a heinous badass.” Looking at the slightly red eyes of the girl in her arms, Leng Yuhe was extremely pathetic but didn’t know how to comfort her. He could only taunt himself in the hope that she would be relaxed.
Su Ruoqing snorted, “Yuhe, let’s spare them and release Su Zhiyou from the prison. After all of these, my resentment towards them has already been eased. Moreover, the Su Family is now bankrupt. Life and death lie in the lap of the gods. Let them do what they want in the future. I will never see them again in this life anyway”
Having made up her mind, Su Ruoqing forced herself to relax. She decided that she would never mention the grudge towards the Su Family from now on
no matter what happened.
