Su Lu looked at her without saying anything.

Su Xing watched the two of them. From the looks of it, there was something between them that he didn’t know.

Knowing his third brother’s personality, he wouldn’t bite onto Su Yan for no reason.

“Are you interrogating a criminal? Haven’t you done enough of that at the law firm? You’re treating your sister like a criminal even when you’re home!” Su Zheng looked at Su Lu and said unhappily.

Su Lu’s eyes darkened. It seemed like Su Yan hadn’t told their father the entire story. He had even kindly given her a chance to apologize. But now, it seemed as though his kind intentions were wasted.

“Su Yan deliberately pretended to fall at the Yuan family’s exhibition today in order to frame Su Qing. In the end, her terrible acting caused her to make a fool of herself in front of all the visitors. If I hadn’t been there to handle the mess in time, who knows how long she would have continued disgracing herself?” Su Lu said as she looked at Su Yan in disgust. “She was the one who courted trouble and destroyed one of Qingzhai’s works, and I was even the one who paid the compensation.”

Su Zheng turned to look at Su Yan. This was very different from what she had just told him. “You…”

“How much did you pay?” Su Xing asked.

Su Lu looked at Su Yan and said, “80 million. Please return the money to me as soon as possible!”

When Su Zheng heard this amount, he was astounded. This was not a small sum. “Is this true?”

Su Lu looked at him. “Do you want me to show you the receipt?”

Su Zheng slammed the table and stood up. He shouted at Su Yan, who didn’t dare to speak, “You! Go back to your room and reflect on your actions for a week. You’re not allowed to come out without my permission! The money that you owe your third brother will be deducted from your pocket money in the future!”

“Daddy…” Su Yan wanted to say something, but Su Zheng waved his hand impatiently. He was already very tired and didn’t want to speak anymore.

Su Yan left in a sorry state, thinking that this was already the best outcome she could get. Although Su Zheng looked stern, his heart was biased towards her.

She thought about the slap that Su Qing had suffered. In comparison, her punishment was meager. She could just find another opportunity to butter Su Zheng up, and the matter would pass.

Su Lu watched as Su Yan left. He was a little dissatisfied with Su Zheng’s handling of the matter. He took a deep breath and said calmly, “Dad is a little biased. Su Yan has ill intentions. Although she’s a little stupid, what happened today shows her true colors. What a disgusting person.” He ignored Su Zheng’s anger and left after saying his piece.

Su Xing observed the situation, and knew that he couldn’t say anything more to Su Zheng today. He stood up and said calmly, “Father, you shouldn’t be so angry at Su Qing just because of Su Yan’s words. She just came home to us. If you break her heart like this, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for us to get closer to her in the future.”

Su Zheng snorted. “You should leave too. The few of you only know how to speak up for Su Qing.”

Looking at Su Xing’s departing figure, Su Zheng’s eyes darkened. If he didn’t protect Su Yan more, she probably wouldn’t have a place in this family anymore.

…

Although two of her brothers took turns to send medicine to Su Qing, her face was still red and swollen the next morning.

Her skin was too tender and fair, so the marks appeared even more terrifying.

Su Zheng was also a little surprised. Did he use that much strength?

Su Rui had been training throughout the night, and only returned in the morning. He had completely missed what had happened at home. When he saw Su Qing’s face, he was stunned. “What happened to you?”

At first, he said that he wanted to touch it, but he really couldn’t bear to do it. “Who hit you? Tell me, I’ll avenge you!”

Su Qing looked at her talkative brother, then turned to look coldly at Su Zheng, who was sitting on the sofa behind her. Her meaning was obvious.

Su Rui was stunned. What did this mean? He turned to look at his eldest brother, then his third brother. The two of them looked at him calmly and shook their heads without saying anything.

The atmosphere at home was very awkward, and Su Qing was not in a good mood. Su Rui suggested, “Why don’t I bring you to the race tracks to have some fun and relax a little?”

Kong Yue smiled and quickly said, “That’s right, Qingqing. Weren’t you very interested in your second brother’s racing competitions? Go on, let him bring you out to play.”

Su Xing looked at her unhappy face and smiled. “The weather today is good for an outing.”

Su Lu added calmly, “I’ll go and take a look too! I haven’t been there in a long time, and I probably have lost touch.”

Su Xing glanced at his third brother and smiled.

The few of them looked at her expectantly. Su Qing nodded slowly. It was good for her to go out. She didn’t want to see some people at home.

Kong Yue looked at the siblings with some relief. She couldn’t influence Su Zheng’s thoughts, but fortunately, her sons were very concerned about their sister.
