Chapter 40 Su Kexin is Driven Out of the Su Family

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Su Kexin is Driven Out of the Su Family

This was the first time she had seen Wu Shi take action.

She hadn’t expected his martial power value to be so strong.

Even though she was close to him, she could only see a blur of movement.

Lun Shaochen roared, "Who dares to hit me?"

The crowd merely watched the spectacle, not wanting to get involved.

Causing trouble at the Su Family’s once-in-decades banquet—were they tired of living?

When no one responded, Lun Shaochen pointed at Wu Shi, who was standing beside Fu Bing.

"Was it you? You’re ugly and still dare to show your face and embarrass yourself!"

Wu Shi raised his hand and, with swift precision, slapped him again.

This time, it was the right cheek.

Now both sides were perfectly symmetrical.

Lun Shaochen was in so much pain he couldn’t even manage a curse.

After striking him, Wu Shi calmly lowered his head and typed something on his phone.

Then, he showed the screen to Lun Shaochen.

"You asked for it."

"Fuck your mother!"

Lun Shaochen was about to explode with rage.

Lun Shaowan demanded, "Fu Bing, make your ugly freak of a boyfriend kneel and kowtow to my brother immediately!"

Wu Shi glanced at Fu Bing.

Fu Bing replied coolly, "Since when do humans kowtow to dogs?"

"You..."

The Su Family’s butler, having spotted the small pink car on the surveillance monitors, immediately rushed over with reinforcements.

Lun Shaochen and Lun Shaowan looked at Fu Bing triumphantly. "Butler," Lun Shaowan declared, "these two are causing trouble! Get them out of here immediately, car and all!"

After speaking, Lun Shaowan looked down her nose at Fu Bing and Wu Shi, arrogantly anticipating the Su Family’s security team clearing the scene.

The butler approached Fu Bing and said respectfully, "Miss Fu, the Old Madam and the Master instructed us to escort you and your companion."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Lun Zheng got out of the car, slapped Lun Shaochen in frustration, and then glared angrily at Lun Shaowan.

"You two disgraceful embarrassments!"

Lun Shaochen was in so much pain he nearly fainted.

But this was a rare opportunity to enter Sully; he had to endure, no matter how much it hurt.

Lun Zheng led Lun Shaochen and Lun Shaowan towards the Su Family’s main gate, obsequiously presenting their invitation.

A security guard glanced at it. "This invitation is fake."

Lun Zheng’s face paled. "How could this be fake?"

"The Young Master just issued an order: no one from the Lun Family is permitted entry."

Lun Zheng was stunned. "But they sent us invitations before!"

"Then you’ll have to ask your son and daughter."

Lun Shaochen’s eyes twitched; he didn’t dare make a sound.

He had humiliated Fu Bing in a private room on the very day she was released from prison.

The matter had been handled so discreetly that no one knew.

The Su Family certainly couldn’t know.

Lun Zheng didn’t want to be further humiliated in front of everyone.

But the Su Family’s banquet was too alluring. The attendees tonight were all prominent families and celebrities officially acknowledged by the Su Family.

If the Lun Family couldn’t even get through the gates, they would be ejected from the circle of elite families, and re-entry would be incredibly difficult.

Lun Shaowan had finally acquired a dress from Ya Garden. She hadn’t even had a chance to show it off to her socialite friends yet; how could she bear being turned away at the door?

She said, "I’m very close with Miss Kexin; we’re good friends! If you call her, she’ll definitely let us in."

"Su Kexin is no longer with the Su Family," the security captain stated coldly.

"Wha-what?"

"Su Kexin was an orphan the Su Family kindly adopted from the Orphanage. They had diligently nurtured her over the years. However, she repeatedly offended the Su Family’s benefactors and has consequently been returned to the Orphanage."

A wave of astonishment swept through the onlookers.

This...

Who exactly was this benefactor of the Su Family?

Fu Bing?

The people queuing behind the Lun family grew impatient. "If you can’t get in, don’t block the way! There are still many people waiting."

Lun Zheng had completely lost face.

He dejectedly pulled his son and daughter aside.

They were reluctant to leave immediately.

Tonight wasn’t just about having their status affirmed by Su You; it was also a prime networking opportunity, a chance to meet many influential people who could be useful in the future.

Fu Bing and Wu Shi boarded the car driven by the butler and entered Sully directly, in full view of everyone.

The onlookers watched with unconcealed envy.

The landscaping of Sully was exquisite. To preserve it, heavy vehicles like cars were rarely permitted inside.

Even the most distinguished guests had to proceed on foot upon entering Sully.

Yet Fu Bing was allowed to ride in a car? What an exception!

Liang Shaozhen watched with envy as Fu Bing entered Sully, the center of attention, while she could only queue obediently with her family.

Even getting a place in the queue had required her to plead with her parents for a long time before they reluctantly agreed to bring her.

They had originally intended to bring her older brother and younger sister.

If she hadn’t resorted to a little trickery to make her sister fall ill, this spot wouldn’t have been hers.

Han Liying personally welcomed Fu Bing and Wu Shi in the garden.

Han Liying’s complexion was much better than the last time Fu Bing had seen her.

Dressed in a loose-fitting gown, she smiled with gentle elegance.

She exuded a warm and approachable aura.

Han Liying took Fu Bing’s hand, helping her out of the car.

"During the many years I was in a coma, your voice was the clearest I heard. Child, thank you for waking me."

Han Liying’s voice was soft and melodious.

"You’ve given me a great deal as well," Fu Bing replied.

Han Liying shook her head. "What my husband and I can offer you are things we already possess; they aren’t truly precious to us. You saved my life. That’s a debt of gratitude that money cannot repay."

Fu Bing was amazed by Han Liying’s breadth of mind.

On reflection, it was precisely Han Liying’s extraordinary perspective and insight that had made Su Jiang love only her for so many years, prompting him to tirelessly search the world for renowned doctors to save her.

Han Liying looked at Wu Shi, who stood behind Fu Bing. "Having you by Xiaobing’s side puts my mind at ease. Your martial arts skills are quite impressive."

Wu Shi nodded stoically.

This was his first time seeing the living Madam Su. Her demeanor, her very way of moving, inexplicably reminded him of Fu Bing.

She praised people generously, without a hint of affectation.

When she liked someone, she never hid it.

If something could be made clear in an instant, she would never delay until the next.

Perhaps people with similar auras shared certain commonalities.

Han Liying led Fu Bing into her personal courtyard.

There were various courtyards within Sully.

Han Liying’s courtyard was undoubtedly the largest and most beautiful of them all.

"The banquet won’t start for a while yet," Han Liying said. "We don’t need to go over there for awkward pleasantries."

Aunt Mei brought in a selection of small dishes and snacks, arranged them quietly, and then discreetly withdrew.

Han Liying gestured for them not to stand on ceremony, and Fu Bing and Wu Shi ate with ease.

"I am deeply sorry for Su Kexin’s offense towards you. For now, all I could do was send her back to where she came from and let her fend for herself. My people will discreetly monitor her every move. However, even the most meticulous plans can have loopholes, so you still need to be wary of her."

"You were the one who sent her away?" Fu Bing asked.

"Of course," Han Liying said with a smile. "It was most appropriate for me to handle this. I have the weakest emotional ties to her, and you are my savior. If I deal with her, others can hardly object."

Han Liying paused before continuing, "Don’t be angry with the other members of the Su Family. Even a family like ours cannot act entirely as we please. The higher one’s position, the less one can afford to act recklessly. Unless one is prepared to disregard family and children entirely, then one can court disaster with abandon."

"Su Kexin’s appearance back then was rather peculiar. Su Jiang is steady, alright—perhaps too steady. He moves at a snail’s pace, like a tortoise that only budges when you kick it."

"If I had been around, I would have sent her packing long ago."

Aunt Mei, who was just outside the door, overheard this and covered her mouth to stifle a giggle.

With the Madam awake, the entirety of Sully seemed to have come alive again.

"See? That’s why I was so determined to wake you," Su Jiang said as he entered. He had also heard Han Liying’s complaints about him but wasn’t annoyed in the slightest.

"You’re the one who brought such a ’treasure’ home, and *you* dare be angry with *me*?" Han Liying glared at him.
