Su Xiaong asked.
"Well, what? Little Aunt is looking for Xiao Tong?"
"Let her co down, you don’t have to pretend like nothing’s happening. Since I ca with Zhu Lan, you should be able to guess why I’m here. With all the parties present, we can speak openly."
Su Xiaong said calmly.
Yin Bowen imdiately frowned and hastily said, "Little Aunt, you surely don’t believe Zhu Lan’s absurd accusations, do you? You don’t truly think Guo Tong and I would conspire so deliberately to fra her, do you?"
Su Xiaong fixed her gaze on Yin Bowen, "Whether it’s nonsense, you know best. Get Guo Tong here and let’s lay it all out."
"Little Aunt, it’s not that I don’t take your words seriously, it’s just that Zhu Lan already caused a scene last week. These days Xiao Tong’s emotions are unstable, and today after her prenatal check-up, the doctor repeatedly stressed not to stimulate the pregnant woman anymore."
Yin Bowen said with a troubled expression.
Su Xiaong looked at him quietly, "I know you’ve never respected . If not for your uncle’s sake, I doubt you would even let in."
"Little Aunt, you’re exaggerating."
"Yin Bowen, even a person with bad intentions must have a limit. When did you and Guo Tong actually start being together, do I need to say it explicitly?"
Su Xiaong’s tone was light, not forceful, but her last words were intentionally lowered, which made Yin Bowen’s heart jump.
"Guo Tong arrived in Beijing last October, and soone saw you with her intimately in private, yet in front of your grandparents, you said you just happened to et Guo Tong in Beijing and have only been together for a month or so..."
"Do you really think no one knows how you and Zhu Lan got together?"
Yin Bowen t Su Xiaong’s gaze without a hint of emotion, maintaining an appearance of calm, but inside he was extrely uneasy.
After all, even after he and Guo Tong developed their relationship to the point of discussing marriage, Su Xiaong had never brought up such matters, not even during their two previous big argunts.
Now, suddenly disrupting things left Yin Bowen startled.
He was unsure just how much Su Xiaong actually knew.
Su Xiaong took note of all the expressions on Yin Bowen’s face.
"Whether Guo Tong is a mistress, you as the person involved, know better than anyone. How she treats your son in private, you’re neither deaf nor mute, don’t pretend not to know."
"You and Guo Tong conspired to fra Zhu Lan, deliberately found soone to seduce her into infidelity, making her the party at fault for the breakdown of the marriage, thus securing your inheritance rights in the Yin Family..."
"Little Aunt, these are all things Zhu Lan told you, how can you trust what she says?"
Yin Bowen hastily argued.
"Why are her words not credible? At least she didn’t lie brazenly in front of the elders."
"Su Xiaong, how have I offended you? Why do you repeatedly try to destroy things between and Yin Bowen?"
At the sound, Su Xiaong turned around, and Guo Tong had walked up to her unknowingly.
She was dressed in loungewear, one hand on her waist and the other on her belly.
"Breaking things apart repeatedly without success, and now you’re grabbing at straws in a panic?"
Su Xiaong stood up, facing Guo Tong’s charming and beautiful face.
"You previously said that whether I marry Bowen or not has nothing to do with you, so why do you keep interfering in our family matters again and again?"
"And Zhu Lan, are you out of your mind? Now that you’re old and unattractive, unable to keep your husband, you bla for setting you up? You slept with that man willingly, you weren’t raped, were you?"
"You bitch! You’re just a bitch! You—"
Su Xiaong quickly raised her hand, signaling Zhu Lan to be quiet.
If Zhu Lan had really intended to cheat, she would admit it, but she knew she was being set up!
And now, the instigator is still...
"It seems you two are determined not to admit anything."
"What do you want us to admit? With you just saying a few words here, Bowen and I are the culprits?"
"Su Xiaong, aren’t you just relying on Yin Shixiu to back you, what are you without him?"
"Guo Tong, do you think if I didn’t have absolutely solid evidence, I would stand here?!"
Su Xiaong’s voice suddenly rose, eyes wide open, "You and Yin Bowen were together since last October, whose card did you use to buy luxury items?! Whose na did you sign, can’t these be traced?!"
"Before you and Yin Bowen went public, you ca to the house to find him, the parents weren’t ho, and it was Jun Jie who opened the door for you!"
"To gain the favor of the Yin Family elders, you staged a scene where a biker gang stole Old Madam Yin’s bag and knocked her down! Then you pretended to kindly help her! Do you think no one knew?"
"The man who seduced Zhu Lan into infidelity confessed everything this morning, the video is saved in my phone!"
"You claim to treat Yin Junjie as your own child, yet you verbally abuse him without restraint!"
"Knowing the child is allergic to peppers, you instructed the family maid to cook with them, instigating Yin Bowen to hit the child..."
"Guo Tong, a poisonous heart, no less!"
Su Xiaong accused her word by word, powerfully and firmly.
Beside her, Zhu Lan held Yin Junjie close, almost holding her breath, finding Su Xiaong incredibly assertive at this mont.
She knew Su Xiaong was bluffing, although there were so things she didn’t know, surprised, she kept silent.
"Bang" a sound...
The noise ca from upstairs, Su Xiaong looked up, and when her eyes t the staircase, her heart tightened, swallowing involuntarily.
The person standing at the top of the stairs was none other than the Great Aunt—Su Jifang.
The Great Aunt had actually arrived in Beijing, then...
"What’s going on? There’s been a commotion downstairs."
The door of a bedroom on the second floor opened from the inside. An elderly gentleman erged, wiping his hair, looking as if he’d just woken up.
As soon as he ca out, he saw his wife standing at the top of the stairs, her face pale, with shards of a broken glass cup at her feet. He quickly said in shock, "Did you get hurt? Move, move, don’t step on the glass."
Guo Jianping quickly pulled his wife away.
Su Jifang finally ca to her senses and said awkwardly, "No, I accidentally..."
"You old woman, at your age, still so careless?"
Guo Jianping said as he was about to call for a servant to clean up the glass shards. As he looked up, he saw Su Xiaong downstairs...
"That’s..."
Guo Jianping hadn’t t Su Xiaong many tis, so for a mont, he didn’t recognize her.
On her way here, Su Xiaong had imagined many scenarios but never expected this one...
The old madam was actually here as well.
Of course, what Guo Tong did wouldn’t change just because the old madam was present.
But...
Su Xiaong felt extrely complicated at this mont.
And as for Guo Tong...
She wasn’t afraid of Su Xiaong and Zhu Lan causing trouble, after all, she was confident that even if Su Xiaong and Zhu Lan revealed everything, without evidence, it was just slander.
But unfortunately, what was just said was overheard by her mother accidentally.
Even Guo Tong felt a bit panicked inside.
Her face turned deathly pale, her fists clenched tightly...
She knew that Su Xiaong might just be bluffing, but no matter how much...
How did she know about the play she staged to win the affection of the two seniors?
"You, you’re spitting nonsense!"
Guo Tong pointed at her, angrily said.
No matter how convincing Su Xiaong sounded, as long as she didn’t admit it, as long as she—
"Every deed has its consequences, heaven favors no one. Look up, who does the heavens ever spare?! Guo Tong, it’s perfect that the old madam is here today. Let her and the old gentleman watch this video with their own eyes and see how you instructed others, how you frad others!"
With that, Su Xiaong proceeded upstairs, intending to show the evidence to the old madam and gentleman.
"Su Xiaong! Stop right there!"
No matter how malicious Guo Tong might be, she still had her weaknesses.
It’s not that she was particularly dutiful, it’s just...people seem to have this instinct, no matter the heinous things they’ve done, they might not fear facing anyone but would dread facing those who raised them.
However, Su Xiaong didn’t stop moving, and in a panic, Guo Tong grabbed Su Xiaong’s arm.
"Ah...!"
With a backward tug, Xiaong’s foot slipped as she was about to step on the next two steps and was pulled down. Her foot twisted slightly as it touched the ground.
She quickly grabbed the stair railing with her other hand, preventing herself from falling.
The dangerous scene of their struggle was precisely caught by Yin Shixiu, who was entering with a young man.
Yin Shixiu’s face turned pale instantly!
He quickly made his way through the crowd to Su Xiaong’s side. Seeing her frowning, seemingly injured, he urgently asked, "Where’s the injury? Did you hit your stomach?"
"My...my foot twisted..."
Su Xiaong spoke with difficulty, and the next second, Yin Shixiu hurriedly picked her up...
Su Xiaong was also sowhat in shock, and upon seeing Yin Shixiu suddenly by her side, her mind went blank for a mont.
His face was cold, and his expression was as frightening as it could get.
He knelt down, removed Su Xiaong’s shoe, and gently touched her reddened and swollen ankle, "Is it here?"
Su Xiaong noticed a sheen of sweat on his forehead, his brows furrowed together, his tone filled with concern...
For a mont, her heart ached...
"Speak, is it here? It hurts very—"
Yin Shixiu had just looked up, the words unsaid, when Su Xiaong wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face, her emotions uncontrollable...
She croaked, "Uncle, I’m sorry...I didn’t an to speak about you that way...I was just a little anxious..."
Yin Shixiu’s furrowed brows relaxed slightly...
He gently patted Su Xiaong’s back, "I know."
With Yin Shixiu’s words, Su Xiaong felt even more upset, and could only hold him tighter.
She didn’t care about where they were, or who was standing around them, or how many eyes were watching...
"I regretted it the mont I left...I shouldn’t have said that about you, no matter what, I shouldn’t have said that..."
Yin Shixiu thought, in this lifeti, they would probably have countless argunts.
