"Him?" Ye i sneered with contempt, "He's nothing but a spineless wimp. Although nominally the head of the Wu Family, in reality, all the major decisions are made by the Wu family's matriarch, and the minor ones by his wife, Liang Jing."
When speaking of her father Wu Jinjun, a deep resentnt surged within Ye i, which was hardly surprising. Anyone in her position would probably feel the sa.
However, Su Chen wasn't surprised. The cutthroat rivalry, treachery, and coldness of human relationships within a large family were beyond the imagination of outsiders.
"Then why didn't you and your mother leave?" Su Chen asked curiously.
"At first, my mother couldn't bear to leave Wu Jinjun, she still had feelings for him; after all, he was her first love. But by the ti she started to give up on Wu Jinjun, the situation changed."
"One day four years ago, several people arrived at the Wu Family compound. Among them, a young man with an exceptionally noble presence took the lead. I later found out that they were from the Situ Family of Yanjing, and the leader was their third son. He took an interest in and proposed to the Wu Family that very day."
"For the Wu Family, the Situ Family of Yandu was an aspirational match, one they could only dream of. Of course, they jumped at the chance to beco in-laws with them and imdiately agreed. Later, when the Wu family matriarch personally discussed the matter with my mother and , I vehently opposed it and even threatened to take my own life."
"The matriarch didn't expect my stance to be so resolute, so she had no choice but to temporarily shelve the matter. I knew they wouldn't give up easily, so I imdiately left the Wu house."
"They just let you go? Without trying to stop you?" Su Chen asked again, knowing those large families were never so benevolent.
"I was also puzzled at the ti, thinking they had let their guard down, but I later learned they had already prepared a counterasure. Just as I was about to board a plane to a place the Wu Family couldn't find , they stopped at the airport. They threatened with my mother's wellbeing, saying if I dared to leave Jianghai, she would suffer! So I had no choice but to stay in Jianghai and struggle on."
Su Chen thought to himself that as a woman, Ye i's choice of path was likely mostly motivated by the desire to gain power to protect herself and her mother.
"Not only that, they also gave a deadline. I must marry into the Situ Family before my twenty-fifth birthday. And now, half a year from now, I'll be twenty-five. By then, the third son of the Situ Family will also have returned from studying abroad."
Ye i continued,
"The Wu Family pressured on one side while they began to work on my mother on the other. Everyone in the Wu Family softened their attitude towards my mother, even the Wu family matriarch often sought heart-to-heart talks with her, telling her about the benefits of marrying into the Situ Family. Even Liang Jing, Wu Jinjun's wife, started acting sisterly towards my mother. Wu Jinjun, shaless as he is, even brought up old affections with my mother again!"
"But I know it's all for their own benefit. The Wu family matriarch and Wu Jinjun are like that, and so is Liang Jing. She cares only because her son, Wu Yuanpin, is the favorite of the old matriarch and is most likely to beco the Wu Family heir!"
"What do you want to help you with?" Su Chen looked at the sowhat agitated Ye i and sighed softly to himself.
"If I try to take my mother out, the Wu Family will surely stop . I hope that when the ti cos, you can lend a helping hand to successfully take my mother away."
Ye i looked into Su Chen's eyes with a pleading gaze.
"Alright, if that's the case, let's go get her tomorrow." Su Chen naturally wouldn't refuse; to him, this was a minor task.
"No." Ye i was startled when Su Chen said they would get her mother the next day, "Do you think the Wu Family is a vegetable market that you can co and go as you please? It's not that easy to break in. We must be fully prepared, only then is there a glimr of hope."
"Fine, just let know when you're ready," Su Chen replied nonchalantly, shrugging it off. He knew Ye i wouldn't trust him even if he said he was confident.
But there was no rush; there was still half a year left, wasn't there?
"The most critical thing right now isn't here, but my mother's attitude. She can't see through the Wu Family's ill intentions. Last year, when I hinted at taking her away from the Wu house to escape sowhere else, she refused to leave no matter what. In the end, she even persuaded to marry Situ Yuan, saying that marrying into the Situ Family would an a worry-free life forever."
```
Ye i rubbed her temples with a headache and said helplessly,
"I know that on one hand, she's been bewitched by the Wu Family and truly believes that what she's doing is for my benefit. But the more important reason is that she still has lingering feelings for Wu Jinjun and is reluctant to leave him."
"So what do you plan to do?"
Su Chen felt pity for that lovelorn woman, but he didn't have any good solutions for such a situation either.
"I can only keep persuading her. At the sa ti, I'm getting ready, so the mont the opportunity arises, we'll take imdiate action!"
As she said this, a resolute light shone from Ye i's eyes!
"Great! No problem!" Su Chen smiled at her, "After you get her out, what's the plan? The Situ Family won't give up so easily, right?"
ntion of the Situ Family brought a profound sense of powerlessness to Ye i's heart. She wasn't confident dealing with the Wu Family, let alone taking on the Situ Family of Yandu, whose strength was many tis greater.
"By then, we'll just have to take it one step at a ti. If there's really no other way, I'll have to flee to so remote country."
Ye i sighed deeply. Opposing the Situ Family was sothing she couldn't even dare to think about!
"Don't worry, with here, everything will be fine."
Su Chen thought to himself: The Situ Family? The death of my parents probably couldn't have happened without your involvent!
If that's the case, then let's have you be the first to taste my blade!
"Okay, I believe you!"
Ye i smiled, thinking that Su Chen was rely trying to comfort her, after all, the Situ Family was one of the top few families in Huaxia!
Su Chen could see Ye i's disbelief, but he didn't say much. He simply smiled and continued driving the BMW towards her residence.
"I'm here."
When they reached a high-end apartnt complex, Ye i spoke up.
Su Chen parked the car, and Ye i got out. Then she walked over to Su Chen's side and tapped on the window:
"What's the matter, not coming up for a bit? Want to go for a cup of coffee?"
"Better not, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave once I go up."
Alone with a woman at night in a room, Su Chen wasn't sure he could endure it, especially since he had just recently admired her explosive figure.
That burning passion was still lingering within Su Chen's body!
