Chapter 817: She’s Also My Woman

After instructing Chen Ju on what to do, Xu Shaochen hung up the phone.

Before the truth came to light, Xu Shaochen didn’t plan on doing anything to Su Zhaoming.

Because he wasn’t sure if the group of people were really arranged by Su Zhaoming or if someone was framing him.

Before he figured things out, he didn’t want to be someone else’s pawn unknowingly.

Anyway, he was heading to Mg Country tomorrow, even if Su Zhaoming wanted to retaliate, there wouldn’t be a chance.

As for this matter, he would leave it to Chen Ju to handle.

………

At the Su Family home.

Walking in the yard, Su Zhaoming shoved the phone into his pocket, feeling a bit like cursing.

How could that Xu guy have such good luck?

His people just got there, and the guy had already left, dodging yet another bullet.

Taking a deep breath, Su Zhaoming entered the living room.

Once inside, he noticed something was off with the atmosphere.

And why was Su Zhaoqun here? “Zhaoming, this time, let your brother apologize to you, but I had no choice. I have to consider the family.”

Su Zhaoqun said, looking at Su Zhaoming with a face full of guilt.

“Dad…what’s going on again? Who’s pissed you off this time?”

Su Zhaoming asked, confused. Su Zhaoqun’s words left him completely baffled.

“Bastard! Don’t you know what you’ve done? If it weren’t for Zhaoqun texting Xu Shaochen to leave tonight, you would’ve caused a catastrophe!”

Su Tianwen roared in anger. When Su Zhaoqun told him what had happened, it almost made him explode with rage.

Of course, he only knew that Su Zhaoqun sent a message to let Xu Shaochen leave, unaware that Su Zhaoqun also told Xu Shaochen that the people tonight were arranged by Su Zhaoming.

“It was you! Damn it! I knew it! How could that Xu guy have such good luck?!”

Su Zhaoming instantly flew into a rage, finally understanding what Su Zhaoqun had meant earlier.

He hadn’t expected that someone he trusted so much, Su Zhaoqun, would sell him out.

“Zhaoming, if you’re going to blame someone, blame me. But I can’t just watch you drag the family down, nor harm yourself. I didn’t expect that despite all my advice, you wouldn’t listen.”

Su Zhaoqun said helplessly.

“Blame you? Why would I blame you? Zhaoqun, don’t bother with this bastard! If it weren’t for you, our Su Family would’ve been doomed!”

Su Tianwen got even angrier as he spoke and stood up from the sofa, raising his hand to slap Su Zhaoming hard.

“Slap!”

Red marks immediately appeared on Su Zhaoming’s face.

“Uncle! What are you doing? Zhaoming is still young. It’s normal for young people to be impulsive. Besides, nothing serious happened.”

Su Zhaoqun’s face changed immediately. He rushed to stop Su Tianwen and said to Su Zhaoming, “Zhaoming, you should leave for now. We’ll talk once Uncle calms down.”

“As for me, I’ll surely apologize to you later. Regardless of what you want, I will have no complaints.”

Su Zhaoming’s face became conflicted. Initially, he was filled with anger toward Su Zhaoqun, but now he didn’t feel like blaming him anymore.

After all, based on his understanding of Su Zhaoqun, Zhaoqun had no personal motives in betraying him. Everything was for the family.

And now, Zhaoqun was even protecting him and offering an apology, making it hard to stay angry, even feeling a bit unreasonable.

In the end, Su Zhaoming pursed his lips and left the living room.

Watching Su Zhaoming’s departing figure, a trace of mockery flashed in Su Zhaoqun’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

“Uncle, sit down. Your heart’s not great to begin with. Don’t get too worked up. Zhaoming’s still young. I’ll talk to him later.”

While gently patting Su Tianwen’s back, Su Zhaoqun helped him sit down on the sofa.

“Sigh! If only that rebel had half your sense, I wouldn’t have to worry so much. Young? He’s only three years younger than you, but the gap feels like it’s thirty!”

Su Tianwen sighed deeply. Compared to Su Zhaoqun, he felt like his own son was merely a burden.

“Uncle, my parents passed early. In my heart, you’re the closest thing I have to family. Please don’t say such things. Zhaoming would feel bad hearing it.”

“Uncle, have some water and calm down. Your heart can’t handle too much stress.”

Su Zhaoqun spoke gently, offering a glass of water to Su Tianwen. He acted like the epitome of a perfect child.

“Zhaoqun…”

Su Tianwen patted Su Zhaoqun on the shoulder, wanting to say something, but in the end, held back.

“Uncle, rest well. I’ll go talk to Zhaoming.”

With that, Su Zhaoqun turned and headed outside.

As he turned, a faint smile appeared on his face.

People are like that. The less they have, the more they want, and the harder they fight. If you don’t fight for it, no one will give it to you.

Besides, what’s given to you by others can easily be taken back.

Only the things you obtain by your own strength are truly yours. No one can take them from you.

Having lost his parents early, and with no support from extended family, Su Zhaoqun had learned that lesson early in life.

……………

The next day.

At 8:30 in the morning.

Outside the Jingcheng airport.

Xu Shaochen, Li Qianya, Xie Wei, Sun Hai, and Chen Dongqiu were standing around, waiting for something.

“She’s here.”

Suddenly, Li Qianya exclaimed, jumping and waving, “Sister Silin! Over here!”

Tang Silin nodded coolly, striding over in her high heels.

With a white shirt, jeans, high heels, and large sunglasses, dragging a suitcase, she looked elegant and bold, attracting countless gazes.

“Xu Shaochen, who is this beauty?”

Clearly intrigued, Chen Dongqiu started to ask Xu Shaochen about her.

Xu Shaochen cut him off casually, saying just two words: “She’s mine.”

Chen Dongqiu immediately shut his mouth, casting a somewhat resentful glance at him.

Why is it that every woman he finds attractive, Xu Shaochen always beats him to the punch?

First it was Liu Rushuang, and now it was this chestnut-haired beauty.

Sigh. I really need to stay far away from Xu Shaochen. Otherwise, I might end up single forever.

“Making all of us wait for just you, don’t you feel bad?”

Xu Shaochen remarked, looking at Tang Silin.

Tang Silin took off her sunglasses and gave Xu Shaochen a blank stare, “You didn’t have to wait. I only told Xiao Ya to wait.”

“She’s my woman,” Xu Shaochen replied.

Tang Silin sneered, “She’s also my woman.”

Chen Dongqiu: “???”

Sun Hai: “???”

The relationship sounded a lot more complicated, and they couldn’t quite wrap their heads around it.
