Chapter 621: 0611 A Laugh after Tea and Dinner Chapter 621: 0611 A Laugh after Tea and Dinner Perhaps sensing Gu Heng’s gaze, Su Xinyan lifted her head and met his eyes, her heart fluttering in disarray.
“Brother Heng…”
Gu Heng’s probing eyes were filled with sharpness, “Xinyan, I remember you told me yesterday that you were going out shopping with Yiyi.”
“I…”
The accusatory tone in Gu Heng’s voice made Su Xinyan’s heart suddenly seize up, and the words she had wanted to explain became stuck in her throat.
Su Hongde’s complexion also turned extremely dark, without a doubt, the Su Family’s face had been completely lost at this moment.
He didn’t even dare to imagine the comments from netizens online, and now that these videos had been exposed, Enrich was going to be plunged into crisis once again.
The dignified Mrs. Su actually did something as shameful as stealing and then slandering when she failed.
Could there be any more explosive news than this?
Even so, the most important thing right now was to first pacify the Gu Family.
“Qiming, don’t be angry just yet, there must be some… misunderstanding here.”
Su Hongde looked at Gu Qiming, struggling to get these words out.
Gu Qiming’s face was stern, his expression twisted for a moment as he angrily turned to Su Hongde.
“The facts are right in front of us, and you’re still talking to me about misunderstandings? President Su, what does your Su Family take our Gu Family for? We, the Gu Family, spared no effort to marry your precious daughter into our family, and yet her mother turned out to be a thief, how can you expect Gu Heng to face anyone after this?”
The word “thief” instantly drained all color from Tan Lirong’s face, and Gu Qiming’s blunt words left her with no place to hide her shame and anger.
Su Hongde frowned, dissatisfied, “What thief? You’re going too far with these accusations!”
Gu Qiming snorted coldly, “Too far? Is this your judgment? Instead of valuing the rightful wife, you married such a woman into the family. Look at the things she has done, utterly shameless. Can’t your Su Family even afford a piece of Jade Pendant, prompting her to covet the belongings of the first wife? Now that the scandal is out, where do you expect the Gu Family to put our face?”
In fact, Gu Qiming made a mistake in his statement.
No matter how destitute the Su Family was, it could still afford a Jade Pendant.
Furthermore, having enjoyed the life of a wealthy wife for so many years, what luxury had Tan Lirong not seen?
But even having seen them didn’t mean she could change her true nature, nor erase the deep-seated jealousy she held in her heart toward Yaosang Qianyue.
And Gu Qiming, a man of status, under normal circumstances, would never lash out at a woman like this, it was only out of extreme fury that he uttered such words.
The thought of the Gu Family being related by marriage to a thief, to become the laughingstock of Yong City, was more than he could bear.
Faced with such unabashed mockery, Su Hongde felt he had lost all his dignity in his life.
“Gu Qiming, what do you mean by that?”
His expression darkened as he slammed his hand on the table, rising from his chair.
“What do I mean? You can’t judge people, you’re blinded by age, and after more than a decade, you still can’t see clearly the people around you. It’s no wonder why the Su Family has fallen to where it is today. Our business dealings between the two families, it seems, need further consideration. Otherwise, you’d really think that the Gu Family is so easy to bully, with no temper at all!”
Upon hearing this, Xinyan turned pale with shock, “Dad…”
Her mother being ridiculed by her father-in-law also filled Su Xinyan with shame and anger.
But Gu Qiming only gave her a cold glance, snorted again, and turned to leave the Su Family home.
Deng Jingru and Gu Heng also wore very unpleasant expressions, and seeing this, they quickly followed him out.
A well-anticipated homecoming visit ended just like that, not on a happy note.
For a moment, only the Su Family remained in the living room.
Su Zhongyuan rose from his chair, glanced at the ashen-faced Tan Lirong, and furiously said to Wen Peipei:
“You really are capable, making the Su Family a laughingstock once more. Look at yourselves, what kind of people have you brought into the Su Family, turning it into a place of constant turmoil every day!”
Wen Peipei’s complexion was dark and ugly, unusually silent in the face of Su Zhongyuan’s sarcastic words.
Su Zhongyuan swept his gaze over everyone, then let out a heavy snort and turned to go upstairs.
Su Hongde, too, unwilling to lose face any further, left the house in a huff.
After he left, Wen Peipei gazed coldly at Tan Lirong, who had collapsed into a chair.
“Mom… ”
Facing Wen Peipei’s sinister eyes, Tan Lirong shrank her shoulders and called out fearfully.
“Speak, what exactly is the deal with that video online?”
Tan Lirong shook her head repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes in grievance.
“I don’t know… I really don’t know where that video came from.”
Wen Peipei kept a stern face and pointed at a servant standing aside, too afraid to utter a word, and commanded:
“Go, call in everyone who can breathe.”
That servant trembled with fear and hastily replied, “Yes, yes, I’ll go call them right now.”
Ten minutes later.
All of the Su Family appeared in the living room, including a guard dog raised by a certain security guard.
Wen Peipei’s sharp gaze swept across the crowd, scaring everyone into silence.
“You all must be aware of what happened online by now, and I am giving you an opportunity to come clean. Speak, who leaked the video?”
“Not me…”
“Nor was it me!”
“Old Madam, it really wasn’t us!”
Wen Peipei slammed the table and roared.
“How dare you still lie at this point? Everything in that video happened in our house, if not you then who could it be?”
The crowd quickly denied it.
“Old Madam, it really wasn’t us. Even if we had the courage of lions and leopards, we wouldn’t dare upload those things to the internet!”
“That’s right, and with so many people coming and going in the house, it might have been someone else who leaked it, right?”
“Then all of you better think carefully about who has been to the Su Family recently.”
Upon hearing this, a certain security guard seemed to think of something, a flash crossing his eyes.
Wen Peipei acutely noticed and narrowed her shrewd eyes, demanding harshly:
“What did you think of?”
The guard shuddered, then started to speak hesitantly.
“Aside from Miss Yiyi of the Su Family, the eldest young mistress came to the security room yesterday when she was returning to the Su house.”
“What did she do in the security room?” Wen Peipei’s voice thundered.
“Nothing, she said she was inspecting our work.”
“Grandmother…”
Su Xinyan didn’t believe it. She refused to believe that wretch would have such good leisure.
She must have done something in the security room; it’s just that the guard had not noticed.
Wen Peipei’s face shifted between pale and flushed, filled with rage so intense it was painful.
“This scourge!”
Su Xinyan hastily stepped forward to comfort her but didn’t forget to add fuel to the fire on the side.
“Grandmother, my sister is retaliating against the Su Family. Enrich needs support right now, but she chose to expose the scandals of the Su Family at this moment. I know she is unhappy with me and mom, but no matter what, she shouldn’t be joking with Enrich’s future. Enrich is your lifetime’s blood, sweat, and tears.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Peipei’s expression immediately darkened.
