Chapter 408: Three Sentences that Shocked the Entire Audience

Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Three Sentences that Shocked the Entire Audience

In front of the bigger picture, Lun Lamei was a mere ant in Suizi’s eyes, not worth a penny.

Hatching plans against former enemies was far less important than propelling the growth of the industry.

Suizi momentarily set aside her thoughts of Lamei, openly revealing her identity.

"I am the Director of the night school. If you’re willing to come, I would love to facilitate the process. It won’t take much of your time."

"The night school...Does it offer Chemistry classes?"

"Not at the moment—but it definitely will in the future! You could teach Mathematics for now."

"I’m not interested."

"Teacher Su, render yourself flexible as trees move when dead and men move when alive. Let’s make a transition for now. I will definitely find a way to recommend you to a better school. Your talent should shine out there instead of being wasted at home—you’re practically playing the lute for cows."

At her last sentence, Suizi glanced pointedly at Lamei.

Su Zhe’s previously furrowed brows relaxed at Suizi’s last sentence, revealing a knowing smile—humor, understood only by the intelligent.

From the moment she walked in, Lamei was out of the loop. She didn’t understand a word Suizi was saying.

"What’s your relationship with this cow... with her?" Su Zhe took a quick look at Lamei before redirecting his gaze.

Suizi slightly relaxed, realizing he wasn’t infatuated with Lamei yet, which helped alleviate some of her guilt.

"I guess you can say we have a relationship, but then again, not really."

A rather ambiguous answer from Suizi.

She hadn’t planned on revealing all of her intentions during this visit; she knew her mere presence at the Su Family was enough to pique their curiosity. With Su Zhe’s intelligence, he would certainly look into it himself even if she chose to remain silent.

However, having met Su Zhe in person, Suizi lost interest in playing tug-of-war with Lamei and wanted a quick end to things.

"You’re quite an interesting person, but I won’t agree to your request." Su Zhe opened his book, signaling he was finished with the conversation.

Suizi, picking up on the cue, realized further discussions would likely backfire.

So she decided to suppress her urge to convince him about lecturing, changing the topic to Lamei.

"I only just found out about Lamei getting married, otherwise, I would have come earlier. The last time her mum met with me, not mentioning this matter, it’s such a coincidence."

Suizi dropped a bombshell.

An unassuming remark, but carrying significant implications, planted the first seed of suspicion about Lamei’s past.

Expressions on both the faces of Su’s parents changed, growing puzzled.

Su Zhe remained indifferent, as though uninterested in Suizi’s talk. It was unclear if he was listening.

"Lamei and I had a bit of a misunderstanding before. She always held a grudge against me because of my classmate, Li Youcai, who she thought had feelings for me. It’s just a girls’ thing; I paid no attention."

The second bomb, leaving Lamei in complete disarray, her head buzzing.

The parents of Su were shocked into silence.

"Li Youcai... who is that?" Su’s mother barely gathered her wits to ask.

"Oh, you don’t know? Well, it’s not a story to be proud of. Li Youcai ended up in jail, so it’s normal if Lamei chose not to tell you."

The third bomb—a direct hit to Su’s mother. It revealed Lamei’s relationship with the prisoner who she frequently visited—her brother, but not by blood, rather by affection.

Underpants, giant underpants!

Three shocking revelations had exploded over the heads of Su’s parents.

Lamei, both frustrated and agitated, didn’t know how to take on Suizi. The mother, shaken from her shock, turned to question Lamei with a darkened face.

"Lamei, what the hell is going on?"

"I, ah, I feel dizzy!"

Unable to save face and terrified of further scandals from Suizi, Lamei chose to faint on the spot.

Pretending to faint to escape the blame seems like a sound plan.

Suizi elegantly swept past her. This caught Su Zhe’s attention. He didn’t even raise his head when Lamei fainted, but Suizi’s "jumping over fires" maneuver intrigued him.

"Teacher Su, please consider my proposal. Socrates once said that everyone can be a sun; the key is to let it shine. If you keep the curtains drawn all day, how can you illuminate the world?"

"Did Socrates really say that?"

"I slightly modified the original."

The actual quote is, ’Every person possesses their own sun: the primary goal is to let it shine.’

In Suizi’s eyes, people like Su Zhe—extremely useful to society—possess energy that far surpasses others.

Compared to Lamei, who pollutes the air and is a burden, a hundred of her combined still wouldn’t measure up to the value that a single Su Zhe could contribute to society.

"I won’t give up." Suizi added before addressing the bewildered and angry parents, "I have some experience with fainting spells. I can handle waking her up."

She whispered gently into Lamei’s ear, "If you won’t wake up, I will announce your abortion."

"Aah~~~" Lamei groaned and sat up with a long wail, glaring angrily at Suizi, who softly patted her face.

"Walk me out, I have something to tell you."

From the moment she walked in, Suizi’s voice had been very soft and gentle, but every sentence, every word, was a hammer to Lamei’s nerves, leaving her no room for rebuttal.

"Sorry for intruding today, madam and sir. A good marriage can lead to happiness, but many would give this up to live like philosophers."

"...???" Su’s parents were confused. What was she talking about?

When Suizi and Lamei left the premises, Su’s mother started cursing.

"Is that woman crazy? I didn’t understand anything she said!"

"She’s quite sane, but I guess it indeed might be hard to communicate with her for people with a lower IQ." Su Zhe put his book down and looked at his mother with disguised amusement.

"What does that mean?" His mother felt her son was also abnormal, as he often made remarks that she couldn’t understand.

"A good marriage leads to happiness; a bad one turns people into philosophers. That was meant for me—or maybe my father."

Su Zhe’s reply was deliberately ambiguous.

His mother’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her son knew about her secret affair?

She dismissed the thought quickly. He hardly ever left the house, so how would he know?

Besides, the woman who visited today hadn’t even seen her before, so how could she possibly know?

Su’s mother’s paranoia quickly shifted to rage towards Lamei.

"Lamei has been treating us like fools and keeping us in the dark! Wait till she gets home, and if she fails to clarify, I’ll skin her alive!"

"Chen Hansui! What the hell are you up to?! Our grudges were settled long ago. I finally have a good life, and you show up. Are you happy now?!" Lamei screamed at Suizi.

Suizi gently raised her hand, and Lamei instinctively stepped back. What is she up to?!
