Su Wenâs face burned with embarrassment, her ears turning a shade of crimson. Swiftly, she averted her gaze, using her hand to delicately smooth the strands of hair cascading by her earâa feeble attempt to conceal the emotional turmoil that raged within. Only after this spontaneous ritual did she manage to regain some composure.
Questions raced through her mind about Hengyangâs unusual demeanour. Why was his gaze different from usual? Did he discover something?
She, herself, was uncertain about the authenticity of her original character. Vigilance became her shield; Hengyang couldnât have discovered her secret.
âLittle Wen? Iâm talking to you!â
Su Xueqiangâs impatient words jolted Su Wen back to reality. âI will never sell my sister. Matchmaker Zhao should abandon this idea! If needed, weâll resort to legal action. Iâll stand my ground till the end.â
Su Xueqiang, Matchmaker Zhao, and Big Brother Zhu trembled at the prospect of Su Wen taking them to court.
âEasy, donât be hasty. Who wants to go to court? Do you want the Fifth sister to be expelled from university after finally securing admission?â Su Xueqiang cautioned.
Pretending surprise, Su Wen covered her mouth. âWhat? Will it affect Fifth sisterâs admission?â
âUndoubtedly. If word gets out that you struck a deal with the loan shark, itâll tarnish the reputation of the entire Su family.â
âThenâŠThen what should I do? I canât harm Fifth sister, and I canât harm Third uncle and all of you! My third uncle, help me think of a way.â
After a protracted conversation, Su Xueqiang finally seized the opportunity.
Inwardly gloating, he suggested, âHow about this, Iâll intercede with Big
Brother Zhu and Matchmaker Zhao. Zhu is an honourable man. Convince Hengyang to bet with them. If he wins, theyâll return the IOU.â
âCan I?â
âOf course. You shouldnât doubt your Third Uncle. Iâm doing this for your good. I wouldnât bother if it were anyone else.â Su Xueqiang feigned benevolence.
Disgust welled up within Su Wen. âAlright, Third uncle, I believe you.â
âThen itâs settled.â Su Xueqiang left with a smirk, pausing at the door to admonish the silent Zhou Hengyang. âIâll take you there after dark. Donât embarrass me. Youâre utterly useless.â
From that day forward, Su Xueqiang held Zhou Hengyang in even lower regard.
A towering man at 1.8 meters found himself devoid of stature in the family. Throughout the lengthy discussion, he hadnât uttered a word. His wife had secretly borrowed a small amount of money and caused such a big disaster, yet he couldnât voice his opinion.
This, according to Su Xueqiang, was the epitome of uselessness. He felt embarrassed just by looking at him.
After spitting in disdain, Su Xueqiang departed with an air of superiority.
Half an hour later, Yao Fang entered. Observing Su Wen adorned in an unfamiliar leather jacket and stylish black leather shoes, she knew she was preparing to go out.
âAre you going out? Just you?â Yao Fang inquired anxiously.
âAnd my Hengyang.â Su Wen gestured toward the silent figure leaning against the roof.
Only then did Yao Fang notice the dark-clad man. The sky had dimmed, and she might not have spotted him if not for her attentiveness.
âYou canât go. Su Xueqiang has already contacted Big Brother Zhu. Do you know who he is? A formidable force, far surpassing Matchmaker Zhao.â she said..
