Su Yu Cheng was slightly stunned by the consecutive questions, he licked his upper lips and looked at Lin Rui who was interrogating him like he was some criminal and he was the prosecutor. ” That… I am still young and I do not earn much, how am I supposed to pay filial piety to my father? But after I get a job, I certainly will be filial to my father and won’t make things difficult for him. But for now, shouldn’t Su Wan pay for my father’s illness? He has not been able to eat properly ever since the businesses was taken away from him and now the situation has gotten to the point where he can’t even get up from his bed. Don’t you feel sorry for him?”
” I would have felt sorry for him if he has brought me an egg or two when I was locked in the chicken shed by your mother since he did not feel sorry for me.” Su Wan might not be the one who was subjected to the torture that the real owner went through but that did not mean that she would forgive the Su family.
The Su family has done nothing to help the original Su Wan then why should she care about them either? It wasn’t that she was a charitable trust? And what was more when she transmigrated they didn’t even give her a glass of water even after starving her for an entire night, they were prepared to send her empty-handed and empty stomach to another house!
Madam Chu squeaked when Lin Rui turned to look at her, she tried to dodge his gaze but she couldn’t understand why she was not able to look away from Lin Rui. His aura was so oppressive that she had no other choice but to follow his will, it was as if ignoring Lin Rui would get her in a lot of trouble.
” I do not have the time to listen to your reasons or why you are here,” Lin Rui has been following headmaster Yuan for months, now he has learned the skill of speaking softly but making sure that no one was able to look away from him. He didn’t raise his voice, nor did he glare or threaten the Su family. Instead, he calmly stated what he wanted to say, ” But we were very clear on the day when we bought Wan Wan from you for ten taels. Not only did we sign a document that said that we wouldn’t have any relationship with your family, but you also agreed that you would not disturb her and if you think that ignoring the black and white letters of that signed documents is as easy as you coming here and trying to coerce my wife, then I will warn you to think it again. Going against my wife is not something that you would like to do because…”
He paused deliberately before opening his smiling eyes that were as dark as the midnight sky filled with threats and promises of retaliation. ” I can make sure that your son might not be able to study in the academy ever again, as for whether or not you want to go to the city magistrate, you are more than welcome to do that but the premise is that whether or not you will be able to.” He closed his eyes again as he walked forward and leaned forward to whisper in Su Yu Cheng’s ears. ” The thugs who are looking for you are one of my acquaintances’ underlings, if you dare to make a move against Su Wan, I will make sure to bury your family together, do you understand that?”
Su Yu Cheng’s eyes widened as he looked at Lin Rui, the man was so gentle looking as if he couldn’t be bothered with anything and anyone, yet he was threatening him like the boss of those thugs.
What Su Yu Cheng did not know was that the thugs that have been targeting him were not underlings of Lin Rui instead they were Lin Rui’s underlings. There was a time when Su Wan told him about really interesting gambling games, he didn’t have the time or the money to make use of that knowledge to make money but after he and his brothers made some money. He and Lin Yu opened a gambling bar, it was easy to make money by luring idiots like Su Yu Cheng, in fact, they only wanted to teach Su Yu Cheng a lesson but who would have thought that Su Yu Cheng would actually come looking for Su Wan and disturb her.
Looks like he will have to ask the thugs to take a look at the Su house. This boy was not someone who would learn a lesson after being scared like that maybe breaking a bone or two would help him wake up.
” Now you can leave,” Lin Rui motioned for the guards to take Su Yu Cheng and Madam Chu away. The guards picked Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng by the scruff of their necks and dragged them outside the house. All the while madam Chu shrieked and yelled but no one let go of her nor did they pay any attention to her, Lin Rui turned to look at Su Wan once the courtyard was empty, the maid swiftly and furtively left the courtyard and opened his arms. ” Did you miss me?”
Su Wan rolled her eyes as she kicked him on the shins. ” What took you so long?”
