Capítulo 10: Chapter 10: Fight Fire with Fire
Wen Jingshu's emotions became somewhat uncontrollable, her voice unconsciously rising a few notches.
But after she finished, she became somewhat afraid and said, "Chaoxi, I didn't mean to blame you..."
Su Chaoxi also started to cry, "I'm sorry..."
In her past life, her eyes only contained the pursuit of her parents' love and attention.
She had never felt that such a small child could cause so much harm.
She reached out to her son, "I'm sorry, Xunxun, Mommy was wrong, I never noticed these things."
Wen Jingshu stood there dumbfounded.
It was her first time seeing Su Chaoxi like this.
Guilt, repentance.
Xie Xunzhi felt the same.
So the moment Su Chaoxi reached out, Xie Xunzhi avoided her.
He still looked at Su Chaoxi with wariness in his eyes.
Su Chaoxi's heart was sliced with pain.
Wen Jingshu quickly interjected, "Let's bathe first, don't catch a cold, a hot bath is good for promoting blood circulation and dispelling bruises."
Xie Xunzhi, as if pardoned, hastened into the water.
Su Chaoxi wanted to bathe her son.
But Xie Xunzhi wouldn't let her touch him.
After the bath, Wen Jingshu immediately took out the injury ointment and applied it to the child.
Seeing Xie Xunzhi's pain-stricken appearance, Xie Mizhi's heart broke.
The little girl sat on the side, tears whirling in her eyes, one hand holding onto her brother.
Xie Xunzhi was so pained that his face turned white, but he still comforted Xie Mizhi, "Mimi, don't cry, brother is not in pain."
His mature words made Wen Jingshu and Su Chaoxi feel even worse.
Wen Jingshu's tears swirled in her eyes, but she dared not say anything else.
Su Chaoxi got up silently and had the driver send her the surveillance footage they found in the afternoon.
Su Chaoxi watched it carefully several times.
She then realized that in a certain blind spot of the surveillance, Su Aolong was abusing Xie Xunzhi.
With the car as cover, Su Aolong beat and kicked Xie Xunzhi, who was only as tall as his neck.
It was not just playful fighting between children, the blows were vicious!
What made Su Chaoxi's blood run cold was seeing her own grandmother, Old Mrs. Su, watching the entire incident from the sidelines.
She showed not the slightest intention of intervening!
The more Su Chaoxi watched, the redder her eyes became.
Just then, her phone rang.
When Su Chaoxi saw the caller, her hatred for the Su Family reached its peak once again.
It was her mother, Yang Yingrong.
The ringtone of the phone kept sounding, as if Yang Yingrong would not stop calling until Su Chaoxi answered.
Su Chaoxi took a deep breath, trying to sound calmer, "Hello?"
"Su Chaoxi!" Yang Yingrong yelled furiously, "Where are you?"
She didn't wait for Su Chaoxi to answer.
Yang Yingrong continued to command, "I don't care where you are, come home right now, immediately!"
She didn't have a shred of respect for her.
Su Chaoxi had long grown accustomed to the disdain she received from her family.
"Excuse me, may I ask what's the matter?"
"How dare you ask? Today you took your brother and your son out causing trouble, and then you just walked away, leaving us with a total mess. Do you have no conscience at all?"
Yang Yingrong was so angry she was gnashing her teeth, "Now your brother has been threatened by those people and is so scared he's crying at home. This is all your fault!"
"I'm telling you, you better come back right now and console your brother, or don't blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter!"
Yang Yingrong spoke with such a heavy tone, her words leaving no room for negotiation.
If it were the Su Chaoxi from her previous life, she would have certainly been terrified by this threat, wishing she could rush to the Su Family home and curry their favor immediately.
Yang Yingrong took this for granted.
And so after she roared those words, she hung up the phone directly.
Without giving Su Chaoxi any chance to speak.
Su Chaoxi listened to the busy tone on the other end and tugged at the corner of her mouth.
This family was truly suffocating.
Just as Yang Yingrong hung up, Old Mrs. Su asked anxiously, "How did it go?"
Yang Yingrong scoffed, "How else could it go? In less than half an hour, she's definitely going to come groveling with her little bastard to apologize to Longlong."
Old Mrs. Su said through clenched teeth, "That's how it should be. That girl actually neglected her brother, she's such an ingrate!"
As she spoke, she turned to her daughter-in-law, "She even said she would give Longlong a million, so don't forget to take the money from her. She earns so much just by sleeping with a man once; we must find a way to drain all the money off her, since she has plenty of opportunities to sell herself!"
Yang Yingrong was unfazed, "Don't worry about it. When has she not been stripped bare by them? This time I spoke so harshly, she might even bring some other 'surprise' with her."
Greed flickered in Old Mrs. Su's eyes, "Last time I had my eye on the green bangle her mother-in-law was wearing. If she could bring that jade bangle over, that would show some real sincerity."
Yang Yingrong hesitated, "I've already hung up the phone. You should have said this earlier. Never mind, tell her tomorrow, she's so obedient she'll definitely find a way to bring it to you."
Old Mrs. Su was full of determination.
In their eyes, it was only natural for Su Chaoxi to empty everything to please them.
-
Su Chaoxi was in the study, watching the surveillance footage.
The call she had just been on was on speakerphone.
So Wen Jingshu, who happened to pass by the door, heard everything crystal clear.
Seeing that Su Chaoxi hadn't moved for a long while after hanging up, Wen Jingshu couldn't hold back any longer and pretended to ask casually, "Chaoxi, are you going out?"
Su Chaoxi looked over and said, "Mom, I'm not going out."
Wen Jingshu felt even more puzzled and looked back and forth at Su Chaoxi.
A phone call from the Su Family,
and Su Chaoxi used to run faster than a rabbit,
anxious not to displease them.
What was different today?
Su Chaoxi could tell what Wen Jingshu was thinking and said softly, "I've checked the surveillance. The bruises on Xunxun are indeed from Su Aolong. I'll give you an explanation tomorrow."
Her mother-in-law was even more shocked, instinctively feeling that Su Chaoxi was throwing a tantrum.
She chuckled nervously, "I'm not an unreasonable person. If the other party comes to apologize..."
"Mom," Su Chaoxi interrupted her, "Do you not know what kind of people they are? Asking them to apologize is harder than reaching heaven."
Wen Jingshu, feeling stung by the truth, was somewhat disappointed, "So we're just going to let it go?"
"Of course not," Su Chaoxi shook her head and said calmly, "The best way to deal with thugs is with an eye for an eye."
