Lady Su's Revenge

Chapter 125 Members of the Su Family Came

Wang Fulai still wanted to say something but the door of the Tianzi Room opened as if people inside heard their talking.

Seeing that Su Li and Wang Fulai stood outside, Su Huanli was stunned. Then he shouted delightedly, “Li, you finally come!”

“Does Li come?” Zhu Yan came out of the room and asked.

Seeing that well-dressed and energetic Su Li was more graceful than she was in the Dasu Town, Zhu Yan had a deep sense of crisis.

Zhu Yan thought, “I must completely deal with Su Li this time. If I don’t take actions and allow her to grow arbitrarily, her origin will be exposed after she arrived in Yunjing.”

Although Zhu Yan thought that in heart, she said with a gentle smile, “Our Li is increasingly beautiful.”

“Second Sister!”

At this moment, Su Zipei came out from the side room holding Mam. Su-Cui. Then she looked at Su Li adoringly as if she had always admired her sister in this way.

“Second Sister, our dad and mom were extremely happy when they heard that you were a special-class lecturer in the Qinghe Girls’ School. We all came to see you immediately. Only Second Mother was left to manage the Baiwei Building.”

Su Zipei said with a smile and then held Su Li’s arm extremely intimately.

Seeing the harmonious scene, Wang Fulai thought, “The relationship between Su Li and members of the Su Family is good. Rumors are exaggerated. After all, they are closest relatives.”

Seeing Zhu Yan and Su Zipei’s insincerity, Su Li had no feelings. But she showed a happy and excited expression and said, “Dad, mom, you don’t need to see me personally. If I have time, I will go back to see you. You must be tired after the long trip.”

“Alas! Don’t talk about these.”

Su Huanli interrupted Su Li. He waved his hand and said, “You have a new identity now. You are a big shot of the Qinghe Town now. I can hear your name everywhere. Now, let’s go to your residence and then talk in detail.”

Hearing Su Huanli’s words, Su Li said embarrassedly, “I live in the Qinghe Girls’ School now. You know that outsiders aren’t allowed to go into there. Even if I...”

“What are you saying?”

Hearing Su Li’s words, Mam. Su-Cui walked forward and pinched Su Li’s hand heavily. Then she said angrily, “Are we outsiders? You actually refuse your dad. Do you have the conscience? We will follow you. Those guards in the school won’t dare to stop us, will they?”

Su Li replied unhappily, “Rules of the Qinghe Girls’ School can’t be violated. I am not the dean but only a lecturer there. Does grandma want me to lose the position?”

“...You?!”

Mam. Su-Cui felt embarrassed immediately and didn’t know what to say. After a while, she held Su Huanli’s sleeves and said in a sobbing tone, “My son. Look at Li. She was so unruly that she actually answered back. How unfortunate the Su Family is!”

Su Huanli was pretty angry and looked at Su Li coldly.

Su Huanli promised Mam. Su-Cui that they could open a branch of the Baiwei Building easily with the help of Su Li. But now, they didn’t even have a place to live.

“Second Sister! You are so heartless. Will you see us sleep in the street?” Su Zipei complained.

“Li, how have I taught you? You are not filial at all. Do you really want to let me down?”

Suddenly, members of the Su Family began to blame Su Li. Wang Fulai was startled and thought, “It seems that rumors are true to some extent.”

Seeing that members of the Su Family were about to lesson Su Li, Wang Fulai didn’t bear it and interrupted at once. He said, “Guests, you can solve these problems at home. Now, can you pay your rent? The price of three rooms is 150 taels per day, so you should pay 1,500 taels for ten days. Thank you for your patronage!”

“What? 1,500 taels?” Zhu Yan suddenly screamed. “It is a robbery. Do you think that your inn is the Jade Emperor’s sleeping palace?!”

Seeing that Zhu Yan didn’t want to pay the rent, Wang Fulai sneered. Then he said, “All you live in the most luxurious Tianzi Room. There are few in the whole Qinghe Town. If you plan to go without paying for them, I will send you to the feudal office. I won’t consider Lecturer Su’s feelings then!”

“My granddaughter is still the workshop owner of the embroidery workshop. Her status is equal to that of the satrap.”

Then Mam. Su-Cui said coldly, “I’d like to see how a boss of an inn sends us to prison.”

Wang Fulai was so angry that he took a deep breath. He had opened the inn for years but had never met such a brazen family before.

“Shut up!”

Hearing that Mam. Su-Cui mentioned “the workshop owner of the embroidery workshop”, Su Li couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted slightly.

Then the whole corridor was quiet. Mam. Su-Cui who quarreled with Wang Fulai just now looked back in surprise. She had never seen Su Li lose her temper before. Last year, members of the Su Family plotted to sink Su Li into the river in a cage. At that time, Su Li wasn’t as angry as she was just now.

“Does Su Li really change after staying in the Qinghe Town in less than half a year?” Mam. Su-Cui thought.

Su Li took a deep breath and then took small bits of silver from her arms. The money Su Li earned from the Linli Building all was invested into the battle between the Yan Family and the Jin and Lin Families. So, she didn’t have money now. Of course, even if Su Li had money, she wouldn’t give it to members of the Su Family.

“Shopkeeper, I am so sorry. I only have over 500 taels of silver now. I have never collected my salary from embroidery workshop yet. I will ask others to deliver the rest one thousand taels to you when I collect my salary. What do you think of that?”

Seeing Su Li’s sincere and apologetic expression, Wang Fulai didn’t know what to say. He had mixed feelings.

“It’s not your fault, Lecturer Su. It’s your family members’ fault. Why do you bear it for them?” Wang Fulai didn’t understand.

After a long time, Wang Fulai accepted Su Li’s silver. Then he said helplessly, “I don’t want to accept your silver, but I also need to pay salary to my workers. So, I’ll accept it, but your family members... Lecturer Su, it is really difficult for you to keep your integrity in this kind of family.”

Wang Fulai took the silver and went away helplessly. Many people were curious about what happened here, so they observed secretly in both sides of the corridor.

People who lived in the Fulai Inn were either rich or influential. They were quite interested in gossip about Su Li, the youngest special-class lecturer in the Qinghe Town.

Seeing that so many people looked at them, Su Huanli and others were extremely embarrassed. Then Su Huanli drew Su Li out of the Fulai Inn.

“Dad, mom, go back. I can’t arrange a place for all of you to live unless you are willing to live in cheaper inns.”

Su Li said helplessly as if she was pleading with them.

Mam. Su-Cui sneered and seized Su Li’s pouch. Seeing small bits of silver in the pouch, Mam. Su-Cui believed what Su Li said. Then she threw Su Li’s pouch onto the ground.

“You are so useless! I thought that your identity could bring some benefits to the Su Family. Now, it is a waste of effort!” Mam. Su-Cui scolded.

“Grandma, don’t be angry. Maybe Su Li doesn’t tell us the truth. We can’t leave hurriedly.” Su Zipei persuaded.

“Yes, mom. Let’s live in a cheaper inn temporarily.” Zhu Yan said.

“We’d better go to the embroidery workshop tomorrow.”

“...”

Su Li picked up her pouch slowly. Although Su Huanli and others walked away, Su Li could hear what they whispered about. Su Li showed a cold expression and followed them silently.

Wu Yun observed secretly. When she saw their quarreling, she smiled complacently.

“People are really animals with weaknesses. The Yan Family is so cautious, but they have never thought that I deal with them in a new way.”

At night, Su Li arranged Su Huanli and others to live in an ordinary inn which only cost several hundred cents. Of course, Su Li paid the rent. No matter how much money members of the Su Family earned from the Baiwei Building, they wouldn’t hesitate to exploit Su Li. Su Li was a soft touch in their heart.

After going into the inn, Zhu Yan and Mam. Su-Cui told others that they were Su Li’s biological mom and grandma. They made the atmosphere really embarrassing. Su Huanli and others didn’t let Su Li go until they found that it was uninteresting.

Su Li returned to the Linli Building. Fang Yuan and others had known what happened, so they ran towards Su Li immediately.

“The tricky members of the Su Family actually come to the Qinghe Town. It is really strange!”

Qu Qingning said affirmatively, “Su Huanli is only interested in money. There must be benefits in the Qinghe Town. Otherwise, Su Huanli won’t let the Second Madam manage the Baiwei Building and take his family members to the Qinghe Town.”

Fang Yuan didn’t speak but nodded. He agreed with Qu Qingning.

Yin Xuetong and Fang Mu didn’t join them until Su Li came to the Qinghe Town. So, they didn’t know clearly about members of the Su Family. But when they heard that members of the Su Family were so heartless and arrogant, they were really startled.

Yin Xuetong and Fang Mu thought that Su Li should be born into a hidden family or should be an apprentice of a rare talent. But the fact was that Su Li was just the Second Miss of a merchant family in a small town.

Su Li’s origin was really out of Yin Xuetong and Fang Yuan’s imagination.

Yin Xuetong and Fang Mu stood there in surprise. Su Li ignored them and showed the words on the paper to Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning.

“Wu Yun?!”

Qu Qingning was really confused and asked, “Does Wu Yun have relationship with the Su Family? Shouldn’t Wu Yun deal with the Jin Family and the Lin Family now?”

But Fang Yuan showed an expression of dawning comprehension.

“Pay close attention to Su Huanli’s and others’ whereabouts. If they have any strange actions, inform me immediately.” Su Li was a little confused. She had never thought that Wu Yun dealt with the Yan Family with members of the Su Family.

What a pity... If Su Li was really a hardworking and filial daughter, Wu Yun’s plot almost had no weakness. But those... were illusions that Su Li deliberately showed.

“It seems that I haven’t given classes in the Qinghe Girls’ School for a long time. And I haven’t seen Hongxiu for ages. So, I will go to the Qinghe Girls’ School first. You decide what to do next.”

Then Su Li left.

Others looked at each other with a puzzled expression. Only Qu Qingning perceived something and asked dully, “Did Su Li call her dad ‘Su Huanli’ just now?”

“It isn’t suitable for Miss Su Li who is... to call that kind of man ‘dad’, is it?”

Fang Mu said with a smile. Fang Yuan who stood there thoughtfully knew that his speculation was right.

“Su Li doesn’t care members of the Su Family from the very beginning... She just playacts.”

Fang Yuan understood that all of them were cheated by Su Li in the Dasu Town. They thought that Su Li was loath to hurt Su Huanli and others, so she was bullied by them without complaining. It was quite ridiculous!

“A person like Su Li doesn’t have affection...”

Fang Yuan was a little sad. Now, he could just hide his true affection in heart. Maybe he would never touch it in his life.
