The Queen of Everything

Chapter 958: Showdown

Su Cha could understand the old man’s anxiousness, but she was not optimistic.

Although she did not say anything anymore, Zong Yanxiu took the initiative to speak. His smile was gentle, as well as his tone, but his words were merciless. “Dad, you said it yourself. Besides rehabilitation, I have to be busy with the company. You’re old, so there are many aspects where I’m needed to help out. I’m usually so busy that my feet don’t touch the ground. I don’t even have time to eat with Su Cha. Where would I have the time to take others out to shop? There are many people in the Imperial Capital if one just wants directions. If it’s really not possible, with technology so advanced now, one can conduct one’s own navigation.”

Sheng Manru and her parents stiffened when they heard this. Her aunt also felt embarrassed.

Zong Bingyi widened his eyes in anger, but Su Cha and Zong Yanxiu ignored him.

Sheng Manru’s aunt felt extremely mortified. She waved her hands and said, “You’re right. I know where I’m going, so there’s no need to trouble anyone.”

Her tone hinted that she was slightly angry.

This could be considered a blind date banquet arranged by her family. She heard that the other party was a cripple who had been in a coma for more than ten years. It was already considered good that she did not mind that. Now that she saw the other party rejecting her mercilessly, she was very angry.

When Sheng Manru’s parents heard what she said, their faces darkened. However, they could not say anything for Zong Bingyi’s sake.

Everyone had a strange meal. After the meal, they were too embarrassed to stay. Sheng Manru’s parents were clearly unhappy when they left. Even their attitude towards Zong Bingyi was not as warm as before. Only Sheng Manru, who was a little embarrassed, stayed.

Zong Bingyi was also very angry, but it was not good for him to scold anyone. He could only angrily flick his sleeves and enter his study room.

Seeing that Sheng Manru was still at the Zong family’s house, Su Cha was even more furious. “Miss Sheng, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you are a daughter of a noble family. It’s so easy to find a house in the capital, and you still haven’t found one? I have several properties under my name. Do you want me to lend one to you temporarily? I don’t even stay at home usually, only my grandfather and my father are at home. Occasionally, Uncle Tan also comes over. It’s not convenient for a little girl like you to stay here, right?”

Zong Yanxiu was a little surprised. They had agreed to talk about it, but after what happened tonight, it was still Su Cha who spoke up.

Sheng Manru suddenly turned pale as she faced Su Cha’s rebuttal. Her eyes were really the reincarnation of a drama queen’s. She turned red just like that, which impressed Su Cha.

“Sister, what’s wrong? Did Manru make you angry?”

Zong Yanxiu could not bear to see her pitiful look. He wanted Su Cha to not be too direct, but Su Cha unexpectedly nodded. “Yes, I get angry whenever I see you staying at the Zong residence.”

Zong Yanxiu: “...”

Sheng Manru was speechless.

Su Cha did not fall for her tricks. She could only continue acting. “Why? If Manru did anything wrong, Manru can just change.”

Su Cha became impatient. “Are you not thinking clearly? I’ve already said that it’s not good for a young girl like you to live in a house with only unrelated men around.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zong Bingyi came out angrily with his eyes wide open. Sheng Manru heard the noise and seemed to have sensed something. Her tears started falling.

Su Cha: “...”
