Chapter 227: Oppression from the Family

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The two of them lay in bed and chatted for an hour. In the end, they were defeated by hunger.

After getting up, Xu Wenping wanted to cook, but Li Junlan wanted to eat takeout, so she ordered some food in the end.

Half an hour later, the two of them ate and drank their fill. They took a shower and returned to bed.

After a night of sex, when Xu Wenping woke up the next morning, Li Junlan had already gone to work.

After getting up and washing up, Xu Wenping thought about it, especially when he thought about what Li Junlan said yesterday. He couldn’t help but frown a little.

After some thought, Xu Wenping finally decided to visit Su Yurou personally.

It had probably been a few days since he last saw her. He didn’t know what had happened to the woman he treated as his official wife, but she was actually so troubled.

Xu Wenping thought as he walked downstairs.

However, he didn’t know that Su Yurou had already fallen into a huge mental struggle.

Su Yurou was alone in the spacious office.

She rubbed her temples with her hand. There was a phone in front of her and a Bluetooth earpiece in her ear.

She had just arrived at the office when she received a call.

On the other end of the phone, it was still the voice of a young man with a Beijing accent.

“Sis, it doesn’t matter if you admit it or not. I’m still your younger brother. From the perspective of blood relations and the law, there’s no problem, right?”

Su Yurou remained silent.

“Why are you so stubborn? Dad is doing this for your own good. Besides, it’s been so many years. You shouldn’t be angry anymore.”

Su Yurou remained silent, not having the slightest intention of speaking.

However, she still heard every word that the other party said.

“Su Yurou, I’m talking to you. Don’t pretend you didn’t hear me, okay?”

The other party was obviously a little impatient, especially Su Yurou’s silence, which made the man very unhappy.

“Didn’t you say that you would let me hear everything you have to say no matter what? I’m listening. You can continue. If you’re done, I’ll hang up.”

“You… Alright, I’ll continue.”

It was obvious that the man couldn’t be tricked by Su Yurou’s cold tone. He also knew that Su Yurou would do what she said.

“I’m telling you, Dad knows everything you’ve done in Jin Hai City. Have you ever thought that as a member of the Su family, you would actually fool around with a nobody? Aren’t you embarrassing the Su family?”

“Besides, Dad has already arranged a marriage for you. If you don’t come back, you know how furious Dad will be.”

“Don’t think that your so-called man is very impressive. No matter how impressive he is, it’s still a fart. If Dad wants to kill him and destroy everything you have now, isn’t it just a matter of minutes?”

“So, I advise you not to be stubborn. For you and for that man, you’d better come back obediently and listen to the family’s arrangements, understand?” Silence. This time, the siblings fell silent together.

Su Yurou wasn’t an ordinary person, and she had seen the world.

Li Junlan was right about this.

Her background was extraordinary.

However, she did not care. Ever since she left that family many years ago, she had never considered herself a member of that family again.

She had once said that she would no longer be a member of the Su family after she left that house.

However…

As time passed, that man had once again intruded into her peaceful life.

She had thought that after meeting Xu Wenping, she would be able to continue living like this no matter how busy and bitter she was.

Because this was the life she wanted.

Then, the man who had intruded into her world had actually investigated her so thoroughly.

Moreover, he even asked this so-called younger brother to lay his cards on the table with her.

“Hehe… Hehehehe…”

Suddenly, Su Yurou started laughing, and her laughter seemed a little crazy.

“You, what are you laughing at?”

The man opposite her was a little stunned. He was surprised that the usually calm Su Yurou would suddenly laugh like a madman.

“What am 1 laughing at?”

Su Yurou’s voice suddenly became a little hoarse. She said word byword, “He didn’t dare to tell me himself, but he sent you to tell me, and he even said it so blatantly.”

“The meaning is very obvious. If 1 don’t agree to go back and accept his arrangement, Xu Wenping will lose everything, including his life, right?”

Without waiting for a reply, Su Yurou continued, “1 understand. This is his style of doing things. It was like this back then, and it won’t change now.”

“Very good, very powerful.”

Su Yurou mocked and continued, “I can go back, but please remember that I’m only going back as a shell. Even if 1 go for a marriage alliance, 1 won’t say anything for the family.”

“You, you’re… Alright! It’s up to you as long as you can accept the arrangement.”

The man seemed to be dissatisfied with Su Yurou’s answer. In the end, he snorted coldly and agreed.

“Come back as soon as possible. If you don’t come back within three days, 1’11 personally go over and capture you. 1’11 also pay a good visit to that so-called man of yours.”

The other party sneered. This time, without waiting for Su Yurou to hang up, he put down the phone in his hand.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Su Yurou’s face turned from excited to flushed red, and then slowly turned pale.

She held the table with both hands and stared blankly at the phone on the table.

The tears in her eyes were still swirling, but they did not fall.

She took a deep breath and swallowed the tears in her eyes.

“Phew… Perhaps, this is my destiny, and 1 should accept it,” Su Yurou muttered to herself, and her gaze suddenly became firm.

“It’s good that I go back. If I go to the Capital, I can protect him. Moreover, maybe… One day, with his ability, he can go to the Capital. If 1 have the ability, 1 can help you reach a higher level.”

“It’s just that it’s a pity that this part… It was really good to have you. I’m very happy…”

Su Yurou’s tears finally flowed down after she finished speaking.

At this moment, Su Yurou’s phone rang again.

Stunned, she took a look. It was Xu Wenping.

“How is it? My dear wife, what are you busy with now?”

The man’s gentle and smiling voice came from the phone.

After taking a deep breath and calming herself down, Su Yurou quickly said in a very relaxed tone, “It’s nothing. 1 just arrived at the company and was about to calculate the flow of funds over the past few days.”

“Oh! I’m about to reach the company. If there’s anything you want to drink, I’ll bring it up for you.”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Hearing that Xu Wenping was about to arrive, Su Yurou realized that she might be discovered after crying. She quickly said, “You can bring whatever you want. 1 have a call coming in. We’ll talk when we meet later..”
