196: Chapter 196 Enough to Ruin the Family 196: Chapter 196 Enough to Ruin the Family Su He had not yet walked out of the hospital’s main entrance when she saw a small crowd gathered at the door.
Fortunately, her tall stature allowed her to see over the crowd.
She instantly caught sight of that familiar profile—Jiang Feng, who else could it be?
Standing at the other end were Lou Ruozhi and Tang Sirou.
With a little thought, anyone could guess what had transpired.
As she approached, she heard the piercing questioning voice of Lou Ruozhi: “Jiang Feng, what are you trying to do?
Are you deliberately making the Lou Family end up in its current state?”
The man, hearing this, did not answer her question.
Sometimes, silence is the best answer.
Lou Ruozhi’s eyes widened as she glared at him and challenged again: “That was your grandfather’s business, why are you so heartless and ruthless?
Are you even human?
Do you even have a conscience?”
Lou Ruozhi’s words were bound to make Jiang Feng be seen as an unfilial son and grandson in the eyes of others.
Just before he became the target of public scorn, Su He stepped forward.
A crisp voice rose from behind the crowd: “Mrs.
Lou, if we’re talking about inhumanity and heartlessness, I think my husband couldn’t possibly outdo your vicious and spiteful heart, could he?”
Turning towards the voice, the crowd saw a tall and graceful figure gracefully approaching.
Su He stood behind the bodyguards, looking at Lou Ruozhi, who was stopped, with a smirk of mockery at the corner of her mouth.
“Mrs.
Lou, there’s a saying that goes well—what you sow, so shall you reap.
You plant good seeds and you harvest good deeds.
Why don’t you ask yourself, have you ever sown any good seeds before?”
Upon seeing Su He’s appearance, Lou Ruozhi immediately shut her mouth.
She now harbored some fear towards Su He, inexplicably wanting to turn around and leave on sighting Su He.
Seeing her silence, Su He continued: “Since Mrs.
Lou hasn’t sown any good deeds, then your current plight is your own doing—you can’t blame anyone else.”
Lou Ruozhi, speechless, uttered: “…”
This time, Tang Sirou did not speak up for Lou Ruozhi.
She merely glanced at Su He, then quickly averted her gaze.
Though Su He’s words weren’t blunt, they weren’t lost on the audience—who were no fools—they could hear the hidden meaning behind those words.
Lou Ruozhi’s guilty demeanor made it even less difficult to deduce.
Due to Lou Ruozhi’s frequent public appearances, some had recognized her early on.
Jiang Feng and Su He had also had their photos exposed before and were recognized by everyone, but as a couple, they kept a low profile and rarely showed themselves.
Nobody expected that just by coming to the hospital for a visit, they’d encounter a drama about the wealthy elite’s grudges.
This live spectacle was far more interesting than any televised drama.
A man thought about capturing the moment on video but was quickly warned by someone beside him: “Are you courting death?
You dare to film the Jiang Family’s affairs?
Be careful that it doesn’t bring trouble onto you.”
After being reminded, the man pondered for a moment and then put away his phone.
At this point, everyone saw Su He signaling the bodyguards to step aside as she walked towards Lou Ruozhi.
Jiang Feng, seeing her approach Lou Ruozhi and fearing that the woman might hurt her, quickly stepped forward and grasped her wrist.
Su He looked back at him, realizing that she didn’t need his words anymore, just a look or an expression and she knew what he wanted to say.
She wondered if it wasn’t that they had been together long enough to form a unique tacit understanding.
She said: “Don’t worry, I’m not a pushover; I just want to have a few words alone with her.”
Lou Ruozhi couldn’t hurt her.
Jiang Feng could only let go of her hand.
Tang Sirou watched the intimacy of the couple in public, especially the doting warmth in Jiang Feng’s eyes when he looked at Su He, inducing nothing but envy and jealousy in onlookers.
“What do you want to do to me?” Lou Ruozhi saw Su He approaching her and fearfully stepped back a few paces: “Su He, with so many people present, if you dare to touch me, you’ll be the one who suffers the consequences.”
Su He scoffed with disdainful laughter, her face full of scorn: “Rest assured, you’re not worth me paying any price for you.”
Her candid words left Lou Ruozhi slightly embarrassed.
As soon as Lou Ruozhi backed down, she pressed on with each step, her aura fierce, but nobody paid her any attention.
Dr.
Su approached her, using a voice that only the two of them could hear, and whispered in her ear, “Ms.
Lou, there are some things I have already given you face for, and I haven’t said them out loud.
I hope this is the last time, do not bother the people of the Jiang Family anymore, they have nothing to do with you now.
The things you and Lou Guohui did back then, there will be a day when you have to pay, and now it’s just the beginning.”
“Also, when you go back, think about what else you have done wrong, so you won’t say again that we are framing you.”
Tang Sirou stood aside, unable to hear anything.
But she could see the color drain from Lou Ruozhi’s face at an alarming rate, with a flicker of panic and fear flashing across her eyes.
Dr.
Su finished speaking, straightened up, and then turned and left.
Lou Ruozhi went limp and nearly fell to the ground, thankfully, Tang Sirou was there to support her in time.
“Auntie, are you okay?”
Just then, Lou Ziang also appeared at the hospital entrance.
However, Dr.
Su and Jiang Yan were already walking side by side towards a nearby Rolls-Royce.
He glanced at the backs of the two, then walked towards Lou Ruozhi.
“Mom, what’s wrong?”
Lou Ziang saw her complexion was extremely pale and unsightly, as if she had been shocked, and her hands shook.
Lou Ruozhi couldn’t hear their words at the moment, her mind a complete blank, filled only with the sentence Dr.
Su had just said.
Did Dr.
Su and Jiang Yan know about what happened back then?
Impossible!
How could anyone know about it!
But Dr.
Su’s words were clearly…
Lou Ziang glanced at Tang Sirou, who then said, “I don’t know, Dr.
Su just said a few words to Auntie, I didn’t hear the content.”
Lou Ziang subtly furrowed his brows and lifted his gaze towards the departing black sedan.
…
In the car, Dr.
Su suddenly called out to Jiang Feng.
Luckily, his mental capacity was strong enough not to be startled.
He raised his eyes to the rearview mirror, “Young Madam, do you need something?”
Dr.
Su smiled slightly, “I just wanted to ask, how much do those flowers that get delivered every morning cost.”
Jiang Feng was dumbfounded…
He never expected Dr.
Su to ask this question.
Neither did Jiang Yan, who was sitting beside her.
Dr.
Su asked because she knew, whatever Jiang Yan buys would definitely not be cheap.
“Why ask?” said Jiang Yan, holding her hand with a gentle voice.
Dr.
Su turned to look at him, “Oh, nothing, just want to know if you are being wasteful.”
She isn’t allergic to romance, but also there’s no need for daily deliveries, too extravagant.
The two men in the car didn’t know what to say for a moment…
Jiang Feng admired their Young Madam, traditionally it’s men that complain about women wasting money, but with their Young Madam and Master, it was the other way around.
“Tell me, how much is it, don’t change the subject.”
Dr.
Su looked at Jiang Feng again.
Jiang Feng cleared his throat and said, “Twenty-one million per stem.”
Because this is the Juliet Rose, a cut-flower type of rose, and also the most expensive rose in the world.
It has the nickname of “three million pound rose.”
After hearing this, Dr.
Su nearly choked on her own saliva, “21 million a stem?”
Jiang Feng’s eyelashes trembled, and he uttered a very low “Hmm” in response.
Su He took a deep breath.
2100 million for one, that means 21 of them would be…four hundred and forty-one million…
And he kept sending them for three days…
Isn’t that…
several billion?
Su He closed her eyes and said, “That’s really extravagant.”
She finally understood why her son was also such a big spender.
Previously, when Su Yimo went shopping, he never looked at the price and would buy whatever he wanted…
Turns out it was inherited from someone.
Jiang Yan dared not speak: “…”
Jiang Feng was even more scared; he was just a working tool.
“Starting tomorrow, no more sending.” Su He declared.
Jiang Feng hurriedly agreed: “Oh, okay, Young Madam.”
He didn’t even need to ask Jiang Yan before agreeing.
The fact was that it had always been the Young Madam who called the shots in this family.
Because Master of the Jiang Family hadn’t said a word from beginning to end.
It was unclear whether he couldn’t get a word in or didn’t dare to.
But he guessed the latter was more likely.
“…”
In the blink of an eye, the evening before the day Su He and Xing Siyang had agreed to leave for country X arrived.
Su He had already taken a long leave from the hospital, along with Lan Yan.
“Mommy, how long will you be gone?”
Su Yimo stuck to her for the entire evening when he found out Su He was going to be away for a while.
“Umm, about a week if it’s quick, two at most if it’s slow.”
The little guy sat on her lap, hugging her, tilting his little head up, pouting, and in a milky voice said, “Then what should I do if I miss you?”
Su He smiled, raised her hand to pinch his little cheek, “Like before, Mommy will send you videos whenever I can.”
The little guy buried his head in her embrace, sniffing the scent of her body, cooquettishly said: “Then, baby wants to sleep with Mommy tonight~”
“Okay, Mommy will sleep with you tonight.”
“Can we not have Daddy join us?”
Hearing the little guy’s words, Su He grinned and said, “Sure.”
Upon hearing this, the little guy happily showed his eight little white teeth.
And the man who just came down from upstairs had a darker face: “…”
Indeed, a true son of his.
Su He looked up and caught his eye, raising her eyebrows in a manner that said “this has nothing to do with me.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Su He picked up the little guy and headed upstairs to their room.
As they passed the man, the little guy suddenly asked her to stop.
Then, both of them heard the little guy say: “Daddy, this time you’re not allowed to sneak into my room and abduct Mommy while I’m asleep, or baby will ignore you forever~”
Faced with his son’s threat, Jiang Yan could only compromise.
“Okay, got it.”
“Don’t lie to baby, liars are puppies, and must bark like a dog~”
Jiang Yan: “…”
Midnight, twelve o’clock.
Someone tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
The large bed felt empty with just him on it, and he felt uncomfortably unfamiliar without the usual touch and scent.
Consequently, he sat up from the bed.
Just as he was about to get off, he remembered the words of the little guy…
After sitting for a while, he resignedly lay back down.
By contrast, mother and son in the children’s room slept soundly in each other’s arms.
–
The next morning at nine o’clock.
International Baiyun Airport.
Su He and Xing Siyang, along with others, were boarding a private jet, accessed through a special green channel.
On the other hand, at the city hospital, Lou Ziang and Director Huang came to find her on the day Su He left.
But they were informed that Su He had taken a long leave.
“Young Master Lou, your father’s surgery doesn’t necessarily require Dr.
Su; there are two others who can do it.”
“Who?”
“One is Old Mr.
Su from the Su Family of Beijing, though Old Mr.
Su is getting on in years and probably wouldn’t perform the surgery.
The other is Nil, who has gained a high reputation in the medical field in recent years.
However, it might be difficult to invite her, and many have never seen Nil’s true face.
Only her patients might have seen her,” Director Huang said.
Upon hearing this, Lou Ziang furrowed his brow slightly.
He vaguely remembered that one year, when Tang Sirou fell ill, Jiang Yan had brought in Nil for her, so she should have seen Nil.
But when he asked Tang Sirou, she said, “I never met Nil.
I was unconscious at the time, and after waking up, I never saw her; Nil has never reappeared since.”
…
After arriving in country X, Su He and her companions returned to the hotel.
Su He also received a call from Ella, informing her about Lou Ziang looking for her.
She didn’t even think for a moment before responding, “Decline it.”
Ella said, “Baby, don’t you always prioritize saving lives?”
Su He replied, “Yes, but it depends on the person.
Some people shouldn’t be saved, and then I don’t intervene.”
Ella: “…”
That seems quite reasonable, indeed.
“Okay, I get it, I’ll find some excuse to decline,” Ella said, “I always have to salvage your reputation every time I refuse someone.”
Su He: “Actually, there’s no need to be polite.
I refuse those who should be refused.”
Ella: “That’s what you say, but I strive for perfection.”
Su He: “Then as you wish, as long as you are happy.”
Before hanging up the phone, Ella added, “By the way, Ye Jiuqing left country F yesterday, was he going to see you?”
On hearing her words, Su He didn’t hide it: “Probably, there’s a good chance I’ll run into him.”
Ella sighed, “I knew it, that young man has never given up for a moment.”
Su He didn’t know what to say.
“I don’t know if he’s sick in the head, always fixated on you, a married woman.
I think you should have him checked,” Ella commented, “Back then, when you performed heart surgery on him, you should have changed his brain too.”
Su He raised her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, “You go on, get him to stop wasting his time on me.”
Su He had said and done everything that needed to be said and done.
But Ye Jiuqing kept his focus on her; she was at her wit’s end.
No matter how cold she was to him, he seemed to feel nothing, with skin as thick as a cowhide.
Ella said, “I think following Tang Seng on his pilgrimage would be easier.”
“…”
