There was a sudden knock on the door. Mrs. Su immediately suppressed her emotions and said towards the door: "Come in."
Su Ran opened the door and walked in with a solemn expression, "Mom."
"Xiaoran? You're back? Why are you coming home just now? Didn't you come back a long time ago?" When Mrs. Su saw her son coming back, a smile instantly appeared on her lips.
She walked up to Su Ran and began to babble: "Our family has been really in trouble during this period. I heard that there was a heavy rain where you were filming. I called you a lot, but you didn't answer. I
I thought something happened to you."
"I didn't expect you to care about me so much, Mom. The situation was really critical at that time. I was trapped in the cave and couldn't get out, and I almost died." Su Ran lowered his eyes, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes.
Mrs. Su's eyes widened instantly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She held Su Ran's arm and looked up and down worriedly, "Then you're not injured, are you? That director is serious, doesn't he have a special shooting studio? Why do you have to go to the mountain to shoot? What if something happened to you?
But what should I do?"
Su Ran raised her eyes slightly, looked at the anger in Mrs. Su's eyes, and laughed suddenly.
It's just that the smile doesn't reach his eyes.
Although the Su family is not a top wealthy family, its business has begun to improve since the Shen family injected capital.
Therefore, it is not possible to even afford a rescue helicopter.
However, he stayed there for so long and never waited for his so-called family to save him.
At that moment, it would be false to say that I was not heartbroken.
He returned to the subject, pointed toward the door, and asked, "What's going on with Su Yue? Shouldn't she be at the police station?"
Mrs. Su's attention was quickly diverted.
A slight smile appeared on her face, and she explained to Su Ran: "Xiao Ran, you should know that I have never contacted my natal family in these years. In fact, my natal family is still here."
"What?" Su Ran raised his eyes in surprise and stared at Mrs. Su.
No wonder Su Ran was surprised. In the past twenty years, Su's father and mother had never mentioned his grandparents and their family.
Therefore, their brothers had already assumed that they were dead.
Otherwise, how could we not have contacted each other for so many years?
Mrs. Su had a slightly embarrassed look on her face, and she didn't know how to explain it.
She thought about it for a while, and then roughly told the story of that year truthfully.
The matter of severing relations with the Xu family has always been a pain in her heart.
It was a wound that she didn't dare to touch.
Her family loved her so much before, but for some reason, they couldn't tolerate Su Honglu.
Between love and family, she can only choose one.
In the end, she chose love.
In fact, she had regrets, but every time she felt how kind Su Honglu was to her, she felt that it was all worth it.
So since her father kicked her out of the house, she has never actively contacted the Xu family.
Until a few days ago, something happened to Su Yong.
With the capital of the Su family, it is impossible to compete with the Shen Group.
But the Xu family is different.
The Xu family is a wealthy family in the imperial capital. It is very powerful and can compete with the Shen Group.
After listening to this, Su Ran felt very complicated.
So that’s it.
No wonder Su Yue was released so quickly.
Then everything he did before and the so-called evidence he provided were all in vain?
Su Yong was not punished, but her attitude became even more arrogant, and she didn't even bother to cover up.
He glanced at Mrs. Su, who was smiling happily, and his mood became more complicated.
Mrs. Su really loves Su Yue. If she knew that Su Yue had turned into that kind of face, or that... all the tenderness and consideration over the years were all disguised, she would definitely collapse, right?
He asked in a deep voice: "Have the Xu family restored contact with you now?"
The smile on Mrs. Su's lips froze slightly, and her expression flashed with a hint of unnaturalness, "I have called several times, but no one got through. I guess I am busy."
Su Ran did not expose Mrs. Su, she pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.
Mrs. Su is very stubborn in many things, and she is the kind of person who never looks back until she hits the wall.
Otherwise, after listening to the recording and watching the surveillance video of Su Yong stabbing Su Ci with a knife, I would not still love her as much as before.
So he knew clearly that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
"Mom, I'm busy with work recently, so I won't be back. You... take good care of yourself." Su Ran pulled his arm away from Mrs. Su's hand and left the master bedroom.
Mrs. Su felt a little inexplicable. She always felt that Su Ran was different today from before.
But she didn't think much about it, because Su Yue suddenly walked in, hugged her and started acting coquettishly.
Being coquettishly acted upon by her, Mrs. Su couldn't care about other things.
…
On the other side, after lunch, Xu Junyan said: "I heard that the old man has returned from abroad? It just so happens that I haven't met my in-laws yet."
Su Ci and Shen Zhiyan looked at each other, with a trace of helplessness flashing in their eyes.
Shen Zhiyan nodded, "Okay, I'll call him and let him know."
"Okay." Xu Junyan finished his last bite and leaned back on his chair with a satisfied look on his face to wait.
After Mr. Shen heard the news, he looked calm on the outside, but actually started to panic inside.
He can be regarded as someone who has seen countless big scenes, but after all, Shen Zhiyan and Su Ci's marriage was formed in an unusual way.
What if the Xu family comes here to cause trouble?
He walked to the closet with a cane and carefully selected clothes.
He even brought the housekeeper in to help him choose.
"What do you think of this?" Mr. Shen took out a very formal suit and stood in front of the floor-length mirror to make careful gestures.
Before the butler could respond, he shook his head and said, "No, no, it looks too solemn and serious in this dress. Xu Junyan is a junior after all."
"What about this one? Sportswear...isn't it too casual? It seems like you don't pay enough attention to others."
In the end, I almost took out all the clothes in the closet when I was picking and choosing.
The room that was originally neat and tidy was now in a mess, and the big bed was filled with the old man's clothes.
The housekeeper stood aside, his eyes full of helplessness.
He reminded: "Second Master said, it's just a meeting, you don't need to be nervous."
Mr. Shen was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared, "Who said I'm nervous? I'm taking it seriously, do you understand?"
The housekeeper reluctantly agreed, "Okay, okay, I know you value me. I think this dress is very suitable for you."
The old man was wearing an improved robe and mandarin jacket, and coupled with his unsmiling face, he looked very solemn.
"Really?" Mr. Shen asked uncertainly.
The butler nodded quickly, "Of course it's true!"
Mr. Shen's frown slowly relaxed, "Okay, let's take this one. Please help me take back all the clothes. I'll go to the study to find some good tea."
