Su Wens face burned with embarra.s.sment, her ears turning a shade of crimson. Swiftly, she averted her gaze, using her hand to delicately smooth the strands of hair cascading by her eara feeble attempt to conceal the emotional turmoil that raged within. Only after this spontaneous ritual did she manage to regain some composure.

Questions raced through her mind about Hengyangs unusual demeanour. Why was his gaze different from usual? Did he discover something?

She, herself, was uncertain about the authenticity of her original character. Vigilance became her s.h.i.+eld; Hengyang couldnt have discovered her secret.

Little Wen? Im talking to you!

Su Xueqiangs impatient words jolted Su Wen back to reality. I will never sell my sister. Matchmaker Zhao should abandon this idea! If needed, well resort to legal action. Ill stand my ground till the end.

Su Xueqiang, Matchmaker Zhao, and Big Brother Zhu trembled at the prospect of Su Wen taking them to court.

Easy, dont be hasty. Who wants to go to court? Do you want the Fifth sister to be expelled from university after finally securing admission? Su Xueqiang cautioned.

Pretending surprise, Su Wen covered her mouth. What? Will it affect Fifth sisters admission?

Undoubtedly. If word gets out that you struck a deal with the loan shark, itll tarnish the reputation of the entire Su family.

ThenThen what should I do? I cant harm Fifth sister, and I cant harm Third uncle and all of you! My third uncle, help me think of a way.

After a protracted conversation, Su Xueqiang finally seized the opportunity.

Inwardly gloating, he suggested, How about this, Ill intercede with Big

Brother Zhu and Matchmaker Zhao. Zhu is an honourable man. Convince Hengyang to bet with them. If he wins, theyll return the IOU.

Can I?

Of course. You shouldnt doubt your Third Uncle. Im doing this for your good. I wouldnt bother if it were anyone else. Su Xueqiang feigned benevolence.

Disgust welled up within Su Wen. Alright, Third uncle, I believe you.

Then its settled. Su Xueqiang left with a smirk, pausing at the door to admonish the silent Zhou Hengyang. Ill take you there after dark. Dont embarra.s.s me. Youre utterly useless.

From that day forward, Su Xueqiang held Zhou Hengyang in even lower regard.

A towering man at 1.8 meters found himself devoid of stature in the family. Throughout the lengthy discussion, he hadnt uttered a word. His wife had secretly borrowed a small amount of money and caused such a big disaster, yet he couldnt voice his opinion.

This, according to Su Xueqiang, was the epitome of uselessness. He felt embarra.s.sed just by looking at him.

After spitting in disdain, Su Xueqiang departed with an air of superiority.

Half an hour later, Yao Fang entered. Observing Su Wen adorned in an unfamiliar leather jacket and stylish black leather shoes, she knew she was preparing to go out.

Are you going out? Just you? Yao Fang inquired anxiously.

And my Hengyang. Su Wen gestured toward the silent figure leaning against the roof.

Only then did Yao Fang notice the dark-clad man. The sky had dimmed, and she might not have spotted him if not for her attentiveness.

You cant go. Su Xueqiang has already contacted Big Brother Zhu. Do you know who he is? A formidable force, far surpa.s.sing Matchmaker Zhao. she said..
