Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 282 - 272 Bastard

Chapter 282: Chapter 272 Bastard

What she said wasn’t wrong; law is law, and family is family. It was just that hearing it from Shang Qingmei was a bit unexpected. Since when had Shang Qingmei been so considerate of Su Rongcheng?

But the words weren’t wrong, so Su Ronggui agreed, "I know, I will."

Shang Qingmei began to weep, "Ronggui, tell me, what should we do now?"

Su Ronggui pondered slightly, "Regarding Dad, trust the police and the law. As for the company, Su Rongcheng is there. Please take care of your health."

"Easier said than done," Shang Qingmei grew more sorrowful. "With the family in this state, how can I not worry and fret? How can I take care of my health? Night after night of sleeplessness, how can I take care of my health? As your mother, when you’re not the least concerned about me, how can I take care of myself?"

Su Ronggui detected something in her last words.

Sure enough, Shang Qingmei continued, "These days, all you see and care about is Tu Hengsha. What exactly is it between you two that keeps you bound together like this? Her father, the murderer, killed your biological dad, and now she’s grown up to ruin your current dad. Yet you still treat her as a treasure! Are you even human?"

Su Ronggui had grown immune to Shang Qingmei’s reproaches since childhood. He let her ramble on as he sat there, unmoved as a mountain.

Shang Qingmei finally lost her patience and gave a direct order, "Break up with her! This was something your dad agreed to! She’s the one who landed your dad in trouble! How can this be recognized? Break up immediately!"

Seeing Su Ronggui unaffected, she grew angrier, "Aren’t you going to say anything? Didn’t you hear? Break up immediately! Otherwise, you’re no son of mine, and don’t call me Mom anymore!"

Su Ronggui looked at her and said solemnly, "When I was in fourth grade, on Children’s Day, I went to the bookstore to buy books. I ran into a classmate and his mom, who bought dozens of extracurricular books, smiling happily as they carried them out. The classmate said his mom always supported his reading, and every Children’s Day, the gift he wanted was always books. As for me, I secretly brought back one book, which you found and tore to shreds, declaring it to be junk, forbidding me to read it. At that time, I wondered why the gentle-smiling woman at the bookstore wasn’t my mom. In fifth grade, a classmate had a birthday and invited the whole class to eat cake in the classroom—a two-layer cake personally delivered by his mom, who sang a birthday song with the whole class, wishing him a happy birthday. At that time, I looked at the woman wearing a birthday hat with her child and asked myself why she wasn’t my mom. Why did my mom always forget my birthdays?"

Listening, Shang Qingmei frowned, "Are you blaming me? Ronggui, it’s not that I didn’t want you to have a birthday, but after I married into the Su family, everything, including money, belonged to the Su family. After your dad passed away, the remaining money wasn’t even enough for fines! We were eating and using the Su family’s resources. If I splurged on your birthday, I’d draw too much attention, and I was afraid the Su family wouldn’t be pleased! Later... I just got too busy, didn’t I? You didn’t remind me either..."

He gave a bitter smile; he was never one who needed a big fuss. On his first birthday after joining the Su family, he lay on the bed waiting, hoping Mom would come in, wish him a happy birthday, and kiss his forehead—a gesture that would fill his heart. But that day, he waited in vain until the stroke of midnight. Naturally, in the many years that followed, there was even less hope for it...

He shook his head, dismissing those images, "No, as I’ve said before, I’d never blame you for neglecting me. When I was younger, I may have had doubts and disappointments, but as I grew up, I fully understood you. I’m only mentioning these things now to say, see, back then I also wished for another’s mom, but that was just a child’s foolish thought. No matter how disappointed I was then, I couldn’t change our blood relation, so no matter how disappointed you are in me today, it’s the same, even if we both somehow wish to change it."

After speaking, he stood up, "I’m going to work. Please rest well. Also, Rongyu has been severely affected, on the verge of collapse a few days ago, and couldn’t bear the family’s situation, so he fell ill. I just went to see him; he’s in a deep sleep. If you truly care for him, please take a good look at him."

"You..." Shang Qingmei watched his departing figure, so angry she threw the phone in her hand. However, she truly thought of Su Rongyu. Since he disappeared on the stairs yesterday, she hadn’t even had a chance to look for him. She quickly got up and went to her younger son’s room.

Su Rongxing had not returned all night. After searching every nook and cranny, she finally found a drunken Cui Pei early in the morning at an obscure bar.

Drunk as a fiddler’s bitch, he lay there asleep.

When she entered, the place was about to close, mistaking her for Cui Pei’s friend, they informed her he hadn’t settled the bill.

Enraged, she grabbed the half-full bottle of liquor on the table and poured it over Cui Pei’s head. More than half the bottle soaked his hair and neck.

Awakened by the dousing, Cui Pei sat up, bleary-eyed, with furrowed brows, only to receive a slap from Su Rongxing.

Fully awake now, he saw her and grew incensed as well. As her second slap approached, he grabbed her wrist and forcefully pushed it away, "Are you crazy!"

Su Rongxing was sent sprawling to the ground.

"I’m crazy?" Su Rongxing jumped up from the ground, "I am crazy! Tell me! Was it you? Did you use me for information and steal secrets from my dad’s company?" The deduction was made easily. With a little reasoning about the people involved, things became clear: Tu Hengsha—Fan Yue—Cui Pei, with Fan Yue even dead.

"Use you?" Cui Pei scoffed, "Who do you think you are? With a fool like you, what useful information could I ever get?" Indeed, Cui Pei’s flirtation with Su Rongxing was true, but in this particular matter, she was of no actual use.

"Fool? Who’re you calling a fool?" Su Rongxing couldn’t accept it. To her, Cui Pei had always been a lapdog at her beck and call. That he would dare call her a fool? What right did he have to insult her?

Tired of indulging her, Cui Pei straightened his clothes, ready to leave, "Calling who? Whoever responds gets called!"

"Cui Pei! You’ll die a terrible death!" Enraged, Su Rongxing grabbed a bottle and hurled it at him.

Cui Pei blocked it with his hand, causing the bottle to fall and shatter on the floor.

The waiter trembled nearby; Cui Pei’s bill was yet unsettled, and now they were fighting again. He prayed they wouldn’t wreck the place...

"Cui Pei! You’re a bastard! You tricked me!" Hadn’t Su Rongxing also deceived Cui Pei? Yet, Cui Pei had always acted as a devoted, enamored fool in front of her. She truly believed he had genuine feelings for her. Even if she looked down on him and dumped him, it could only be her who dumped him. How dare Cui Pei toy with her?
