Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 319 - 287: Grudge Against the Su Family’s Girls
Su Chengji being able to wake up and continue joking to make Su Xiaomeng happy is a blessing from heaven to Yu Xiaomeng.
She stayed at the hospital all day, giving Su’s mother a chance to go home and rest for a day.
Yin Shixiu received a call from the lawyer; he still needed to handle some paperwork regarding Su Jianyi and Zhou Wenxiu’s case.
So after lunch, he went to the police station.
Su Chengji, in his forties, still had the personality of a child. Luckily it was a private room; if he were sharing, other patients would surely laugh at how childlike Su’s father looked.
Su Xiaomeng sat by the bed browsing Weibo, reading out loud to Su’s father whatever she came across.
In the afternoon, the doctor came to check on Su’s father and thought the problem wasn’t too big, his condition was improving.
The tone was gentle, except for the somewhat stern "don’t get too emotional" before he left.
And this last sentence was half directed at Su’s father, and half at Su Xiaomeng.
After the doctor left, Su Xiaomeng quickly covered Su’s father with the quilt, "Dad, you should sleep for a while."
Su Chengji reached out and held Su Xiaomeng’s hand, suddenly smiling and saying, "Meng Meng... when I’m better, how about going to live in Beijing with you?"
Su Xiaomeng was stunned, it took her quite a while to recover.
Why would Dad suddenly suggest going to live in Beijing with her? He...
"You don’t agree, huh?"
Su Chengji pretended to look very sad...
Even as slow as Su Xiaomeng’s reactions were, she understood at this point. She nodded, "I agree!"
Su Chengji smiled, "Don’t cry in front of my sickbed, it’s not lucky at all."
"Alright, hurry and sleep, okay? Ever since you woke up, you’ve been making a fuss. You see any other severely ill patients as spirited as you?"
Su Chengji did need rest, and soon he fell asleep. Su Xiaomeng moved a chair to sit by the balcony.
The autumn sun was bright, making her feel very comfortable.
She sent Yin Shixiu a text message.
Informing him that Dad and Mom were willing to live together with them in Beijing.
Telling him, thank you.
Once the message was sent, she didn’t wait for a reply.
And when Yin Shixiu read the text, he felt relieved but didn’t plan on replying.
Even though he knew, there were many, many legitimate reasons he could use to persuade Su Chengji and Bai Sixian to live in Beijing.
Each of those reasons sounded dignified and high-sounding.
But both he and Su Xiaomeng knew they were acting out of selfishness.
They just wanted peace of mind for themselves, which meant making the parents leave the city they were familiar with, their circle of life, their neighbors, friends, and so on...
The only solace is that Su’s father and Su’s mother are still relatively young.
Su Xiaomeng leaned back in her chair, with the sun lazily shining, she finally felt the comfort brought by the slow-paced life in Chengdu.
However, just as she was about to drift into sleep, a phone call startled her awake.
She glanced at the phone and answered...
"Xiao Jin..."
At this moment, Su Jin, sitting by the Moon River, called Su Xiaomeng.
The main idea was to inquire about her uncle’s condition, and upon learning that Uncle Chengji had woken up and was improving, she felt relieved.
Su Jin is a smart person.
Ever since the incident with her uncle, she quickly called her parents, advising them to be extra careful in the near future.
While she couldn’t be sure, she felt this matter was inseparable from Su Jianyi’s family.
Fortunately, after Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu went to Chengdu, all the culprits were rounded up overnight.
Otherwise, Su Jin believed the matter wouldn’t have ended so smoothly.
"Sister Xiaomeng, don’t worry too much, take care of your health."
"...Uh, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Su Jin let out a long sigh.
That Su Jianyi family, she really disliked them profoundly.
She felt a sense of pleasure seeing them get their comeuppance, but the whole situation involving a life and her uncle’s safety made her feel troubled.
"What is Su Xiaomeng to you?"
Suddenly, an unfriendly and somewhat assertive voice sounded behind Su Jin.
Su Jin turned around and saw a tall boy standing there, picked up her bag, and stood up.
"She’s my sister, who are you? Do you know her?"
Bai Shunyuan’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, his eyes squinting at the bob haircut before him.
Did she not remember him, or...
Bai Shunyuan stepped forward, "I’m Bai Shunyuan; we met when Shan Minglang brought you to the school."
Su Jin raised her eyebrows, staring at Bai Shunyuan’s face as if recalling...
"Are you doing this on purpose?"
Never mind Bai Shunyuan’s naturally domineering aura that demands attention wherever he stands. With a face like that, how could anyone forget it?
Su Jin didn’t understand what he meant by that.
In response, she casually asked, "On purpose for what?"
As she spoke, she took glasses out of her bag, placing the thin silver frames on her nose, which added a delicate touch.
Su Jin did have some memory of Bai Shunyuan.
But from the time she arrived at the school until today, it had been about a month, and she hadn’t seen him since, so it was natural for her to need a moment to recall.
Moreover, although she had severe astigmatism and myopia, she disliked wearing glasses, so not recognizing him was very normal.
Bai Shunyuan noticed her reaction was very natural, without any pretense, her gaze clear.
After putting on the glasses, her eyes, like black pearls, directly met his.
It actually rendered Bai Shunyuan momentarily unable to articulate what she might be "doing on purpose..."
He could only clear his throat lightly and raise his chin slightly, "I haven’t heard that Su Xiaomeng has a sister?"
Doesn’t Aunt only have one daughter, Xiao Meng?
"I’m her cousin."
"Cousin..."
So... someone from Uncle’s side...
No blood relation to me, hmm.
Bai Shunyuan was startled by this realization passing through his mind.
A moment later, he couldn’t help but inwardly curse Su Xiaomeng, if it weren’t for that woman, he wouldn’t be so sensitive about "blood relations" now!
It’s not just with women. Sometimes, upon meeting a new friend, this phrase pops into his head...
Hmm, no familial relations.
This is becoming a psychological shadow.
Su Jin noticed he was a bit lost in thought and waved a hand in front of him, "Senior, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going."
"Huh? Oh... ah, wait a minute!"
Su Jin looked at him, waiting for him to speak further.
Bai Shunyuan faced her direct gaze and was suddenly at a loss for what to say to stop her...
Suddenly annoyed, "Is being impolite and staring at others something the Su Family enjoys?"
Su Jin raised her eyebrows slightly...
"When you talk to someone, you should look at the lower half of the face; staring into someone’s eyes is impolite, don’t you know that?"
"Are you trying to pick a fight?"
Su Jin suddenly asked, looking serious.
"What did you say?"
"Only someone who has done something wrong, someone guilty, would be afraid to be stared in the eye. I don’t know what’s polite or not. If you’re done, I’m leaving."
"Hold on, what’s with your attitude?"
Bai Shunyuan’s temper was always bad; a dictator with a self-centered ego couldn’t tolerate people who didn’t acknowledge him.
And she resembled Su Xiaomeng a bit in her brows and eyes.
This made him feel fleetingly disoriented, as if time had rewound, making him relive the grievances he’d suffered under Su Xiaomeng!
It was utterly unsettling.
Su Jin had only met Bai Shunyuan once, and his features weren’t very clear to her, but being Xiao Meng’s cousin and having that campus tyrant demeanor left some impression.
So...
"You’re Xiao Meng’s cousin, right?"
Su Jin stopped, showing rare patience.
"You know?"
"Hmm, I also know you’re quite afraid of Sister Xiaomeng."
"If I called Sister Xiaomeng and told her you’re picking on me—"
"Who told you I’m afraid of Su Xiaomeng?"
Bai Shunyuan’s voice instantly dropped below freezing, sounding terrifyingly heavy...
Seeing his face go dark, Su Jin felt a bit suspicious...
Could Shan Minglang have been lying to her?
"Who told you I’m scared of her?!"
"Uh... if you’re not afraid of her, then I’ll just call and tell her you’re harassing me, you shouldn’t—"
"What’s wrong with you? How am I harassing you?!"
Seeing him flare up, Su Jin raised an eyebrow, convinced Shan Minglang wasn’t kidding with her.
Watching her eyebrow perk up, Bai Shunyuan took a deep breath, quickly suppressing his temper, "Let me tell you, it’s not fear of her, just that woman is annoying, besides..."
His chin still slightly raised, his eyes swept up and down over Su Jin...
Besides a decent face and height, nothing else about her.
A shirt style long outdated, jeans faded from wash, and a very old bag...
Oh, oh, these glasses... what style are they?
What girl still wears glasses like this?
This woman is truly out of touch.
"What’s worth me harassing you?"
He tilted his head down with a bit of sarcasm and sauciness, asking.
Su Jin still wore a serious expression, earnestly responding, "I don’t know, you’d have to ask yourself. If there’s nothing worth it, then why are you harassing me? Are you crazy?"
Su Jin glanced at him and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!"
Knowing Bai Shunyuan was just looking for trouble, Su Jin didn’t pay attention to his shouting and continued walking toward the library.
Bai Shunyuan frowned, kicked a stone beside him in frustration.
What’s with this arrogance...
Are all the Su Family women the same?!
All have this demeanor that annoys him!
Su Jianyi’s case is still being processed by the legal authorities, with Zhou Wenxiu’s crimes there for all to see, she can’t deny it.
The Zhou Family, unable to accept reality, caused a scene.
Afterwards, seeming to realize Zhou Wenxiu really committed murder, they came again.
Hoping leniency could be shown, to give Zhou Wenxiu a way out.
After all, she still has a son.
"Hong Shu’s family has only one son, now the whole family is no better than dead. Should we pity her? Who pities the already dead, and the one now lying in a hospital bed needing a year’s rehabilitation?"
