章節 22: Su Lu

編輯: Henyee Translations

What was wrong with Su Lu today? Why did she happen to meet this cold-faced Asura under such circumstances?

"You should handle the consequences of what you've done yourself," Su Lu said.

The exhibition manager, who was standing at the side, said, "This calligraphy piece is Mr. Qingzhai's work. The price is 80 million dollars."

Su Yan sat up abruptly. "What? A lousy calligraphy piece costs 80 million dollars?"

"You should be glad that you didn't destroy Qing's Poem, which is beside it. That piece is worth more than 300 million dollars."

Su Qing looked at the manager. He looked unfamiliar, so he should be someone new hired by Uncle Tian. However, the price he mentioned was a little exaggerated.

Su Yan was scared out of her wits. Even if it was 80 million dollars, she couldn't afford it. Now that there was no one else, she could only look at Su Lu. "Third Brother! I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please… help me think of a way! If Dad finds out, he'll beat me to death."

Su Lu looked at her. "Am I the one you should be apologizing to?"

He turned his head to look at the obedient Su Qing. "If I hadn't stepped in, how long were you planning to embarrass the Su family? You'd better keep your devious thoughts to yourself! Apologize to Su Qing first."

Su Qing observed Su Lu. Her third brother, Su Lu, should be a very stern person. The frown between his eyebrows was like a glacier that had not melted for many years, and he looked really cold.

"There's no need. Just keep this woman away from me in the future. I feel uncomfortable even looking at her," Su Qing said softly and slowly stood up. She really didn't want to waste any more time on Su Yan.

Su Yan glared at Su Qing as she walked out.

Su Lu glanced at Su Yan and slowly walked away.

After Su Yan returned home, she had been trembling in fear. Kong Yue looked at her uneasy expression and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you come back with your Third Brother?"

Kong Yue then glared at Su Lu, "Are you done with your business? You're finally willing to come back?"

Su Lu smiled faintly. "Yes, I've completed a few cases. I'm on a break for a while."

Kong Yue smiled happily. "That's good. Did you meet Qingqing today?"

At the thought of Su Qing's fair and pretty face, as well as her fearless expression, he smiled lightly. "I've met her."

He had seen Su Qing's photo and recognized her immediately at the exhibition today.

In this family, Su Lu's personality was probably the most similar to Su Qing. Seeing the smile on his lips, Kong Yue smiled lightly. It seemed that he liked this younger sister, just like his eldest and second brothers.

Su Yan wasn't as relaxed and happy as they were. When she thought about how she would have to face Su Zheng's anger later, her legs went weak. She had to think of a way to deceive him.

She suddenly recalled the photo on her phone that hadn't been completely deleted, and a glimmer of hope rose in her. Fortunately, the staff didn't ask her to clear her phone's recycle bin after deleting the photo of Su Qing and that old man. She restored the photo and thought about how to make her father believe her.

Unfortunately, bad news always traveled faster than good news did. Su Zheng had gone golfing with a few friends today, and he heard about the scandal involving his daughter from others who were gossiping about it.

Su Yan stood obediently in front of Su Zheng. He looked at her face and said angrily, "Do you know what stupid things you've done?"

Su Yan trembled at Su Zheng's roar. "Daddy, I know I was wrong, but can you let me explain?"

"What's there to explain? You've embarrassed the Su family today."

Kong Yue noticed that Su Zheng looked furious the moment he returned. He looked around and realized that Su Qing wasn't around, so he called Su Yan into the study.

Kong Yue didn't understand what was going on, but she was blocked outside the study. Su Lu looked at her and said, "Don't worry, it's just a small matter. Why isn't Su Qing back yet?"

"Oh, she told me that she was going shopping. She'll be back later."

Kong Yue smiled. "She actually took the initiative to tell me that she would be coming home later."

Su Lu was puzzled. "Huh? What's wrong with that?" Wasn't this very normal?

Kong Yue looked at him. "This sister of yours is just like you. She treats everyone indifferently. However, I believe that she'll eventually understand how well we treat her. I heard from your eldest brother that she has already started calling him 'Eldest Brother' today. I wonder when she will call me 'Mommy' too!"

Su Lu smiled at her. "It'll be quick. Just be a little more patient."

Kong Yue nodded and turned to look at the closed study door. "I wonder what's going on. Why did your father call Su Yan into the study?"
