My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 84: Wanting to provide for one’s parents, but they are no longer present
Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Wanting to provide for one’s parents, but they are no longer present
Chen Tianwen fiddled with his ear, unsure as he asked, "Did you say you can earn ten million a month?"
Chen Wanqing, afraid that Su Xuan had bitten off more than he could chew this time, hastily covered for him, "Dad, you heard wrong just now. Su Xuan was talking about a year."
"You didn’t hear wrong. I said a month, and if you think a month is too long, I can do it in half a month," Su Xuan said seriously.
The father-daughter pair from the Chen family looked at Su Xuan as if he were a monster; they both thought he had gone a bit mad.
"Hahaha!" After a moment of silence, Chen Tianwen laughed until tears came, saying, "Young man, if you’re feeling too much pressure, you can completely give up. You don’t need to talk like that."
"You’re mistaken," Su Xuan replied with utmost seriousness, "I can absolutely earn ten million in half a month. Now I’m asking you, if I really do it, will you let Chen Wanqing marry me?"
"This..." Chen Tianwen gave Su Xuan a thorough look, then glanced at his daughter and said with feigned magnanimity, "Let’s give you a month. If you can earn ten million, I won’t interfere in Wanqing’s affairs at all."
"Done!" Su Xuan agreed quickly.
Chen Tianwen retorted, "And if you can’t do it?"
"I definitely will," Su Xuan replied, not directly addressing the question.
Chen Tianwen also knew it was best not to argue with a thug like Su Xuan, "Should we make a contract then?"
"No need!" Su Xuan appeared very straightforward, "Anyone who has reneged on a deal with me has already become a dead person." freewebnoveℓ.com
Even though that sentence wasn’t a threat, Chen Tianwen still involuntarily gasped.
He could imagine that, come the time, if he were to break the agreement, Su Xuan might not do anything to him because of his identity as Chen Wanqing’s father, but the consequences would still be unpleasant.
Having received a definite answer from Chen Tianwen, Chen Wanqing immediately dragged Su Xuan to the Bright Moon Building.
"Wife, you don’t have to be so impatient just because we haven’t seen each other for a day. It’s not very convenient in the office, let’s go to my place instead," Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin, his hands starting to get restless.
"What am I going to do with you?" Chen Wanqing helplessly rolled her eyes and said earnestly, "Su Xuan, I need to make it very clear to you that from now on, you have to figure out a way to make money. After all, a month is a very short time, and I hope you can truly succeed, you know?"
"I know, I know, let’s hurry to the office. My heart feels uneasy just thinking about others sitting in our boss’s chair," Su Xuan brushed her off as he wrapped his arms around her waist and entered the lobby of Bright Moon Building.
As soon as they entered the lobby, a man in his thirties wearing a hat with its brim pulled low, making it hard to see his face, approached Su Xuan uncertainly.
"You’re Su Xuan, right?"
"Yes, that’s me. What do you want?" Su Xuan asked impatiently.
The mysterious man took out a photo, compared it with Su Xuan, and, after confirming his identity, cautiously handed over a package, "This is from your father. He asked me to give it to you. You better check the contents yourself."
Su Xuan took the package, which felt very light, yet his heart was filled with intense excitement. This was the first time he had heard any news about his father since he went missing.
"Hey, my father..." Su Xuan turned around, wanting to ask something more, but the mysterious man ran off as if he were insane, not looking back no matter how Su Xuan called after him.
Chen Wanqing was also very curious, as she had heard the legends about Su Chenggong in her early years, "Su Xuan, what do you think your father left for you?"
"We’ll find out once we open it." Su Xuan quickly opened the package and found nothing inside but a CD, with nothing else.
"There’s a computer upstairs, let’s go watch it together," Chen Wanqing suggested.
Su Xuan nodded, and they both went to the general manager’s office. As they played the CD, there was a video about Su Chenggong.
However, the Su Chenggong in the video looked much more haggard than Su Xuan remembered.
"Su Xuan, by the time you receive this package, I’m afraid I might be more unlucky than not. The things I’m going to tell you next are very important; you must make sure there’s not a single outsider around," Su Chenggong paused after speaking.
Su Xuan instinctively scanned the office, and Chen Jiangfei, despite his curiosity, tactfully exited the moment he saw Chen Wanqing and Su Xuan return.
He could easily guess what had just happened over at the Chen family home.
After a short while, Su Chenggong resumed speaking in the video, "If by the time you get back, I have suddenly disappeared and the Su family’s shares have ended up with Wang Xing, it must be that I have been killed by him. I’m telling you this not so you avenge me, but for you to protect yourself. Don’t be fooled by him again. After all, he’s far too dangerous."
Zzzt, zzzt, zzzt! After that sentence, the video image scrambled, and it seemed Su Chenggong had to leave urgently.
Silence, absolute silence followed, with not a single sound for a long time.
Slowly recovering from shock, Chen Wanqing turned to look at Su Xuan.
Su Xuan, who usually acted carefree and seemed unacquainted with sorrows, was now clenching his fists with tear-streaked cheeks, yet without a sound of crying.
Grief beyond words, when it reaches its peak, one forgets how to cry.
Chen Wanqing’s eyes also turned red, and for the first time, she took the initiative to hug Su Xuan, resting her head on his shoulder in the hope of making him feel a bit better, "Su Xuan, we must avenge this, but you need to stay calm right now."
"Calm, you tell me to be calm? How can I be calm now? A feud over my father’s death cannot coexist under the same sky. I want the Wang father and son to pay for their lives right now!" Su Xuan roared for the first time in front of Chen Wanqing.
Chen Wanqing didn’t blame Su Xuan at all and understood his feelings completely, consoling him, "We will definitely be able to collect evidence. Uncle won’t have died in vain."
"No need!" Su Xuan walked out without turning his head, "I can handle this by myself."
The moment he stepped out, Su Xuan wiped the tears from the corner of his eye, and they stopped abruptly. He knew tears would solve nothing. What he needed to do now was seek revenge.
Su Xuan’s hands trembled as he fumbled for his cellphone, exerting a great deal of effort before he managed to dial a number, which rang through quickly.
"Hello, Boss? You’ve been gone for so many years; I almost missed you to death." An excited voice came from the other end of the line.
"Luo, don’t ask anything right now. I need a favor from you," Su Xuan tried to sound as calm as he could.
"Boss, just say the word," Luo really didn’t ask anything else.
Su Xuan pondered for a moment, "Right now, help me find out which hospital Wang Meng is in and how long it will take."
"Less than a minute, hold on." After speaking, Luo didn’t hang up the phone but yelled out, "Stop the damn noise and look up which hospital Wang Meng is in right now!"
There was silence for barely ten seconds on the other end before Luo’s voice came again, "Maria Hospital, orthopedics, luxury special-care ward 306."
Su Xuan nodded, hung up the phone, and took a taxi straight to the luxurious Maria Hospital.
On the way, Su Xuan couldn’t help but recall every moment he had spent with his father.
His mother had passed away when he was young, and his father, not wanting him to suffer the slightest grievance, never remarried. Su Xuan used to get into fights and cause trouble, but Chen Tianwen never once blamed him.
It was only when he thought Su Xuan was being too irresponsible that he resolutely sent him to the Military God for training.
In the beginning, when he joined the military, Su Xuan cursed Chen Tianwen thousands of times, convinced he had been dumped on Military God so his father could chase women.
Only as he slowly grew up and matured did Su Xuan understand his father’s painstaking efforts.
When he had learned enough and wanted to return to genuinely help his father, his father had disappeared.
Su Xuan, who had always harbored fantasies, truly felt the devastating pain of "wanting to care for parents who are no longer there" when he received confirmed news of his father’s death.
All the way there, Su Xuan’s face remained expressionless, not a single tear shed, because his tears were not for his enemies to see, but his heart was bleeding continuously.
The pain in his heart was even more agonizing than being shot several times.
Half an hour later, Su Xuan got out of the taxi at Maria Hospital and went straight to Wang Meng’s ward with a gloomy face. He kicked open the door to find a surprised medical staff and the Wang father and son inside.
"Ah, Su Xuan..." Wang Meng, who had not long awakened, trembled all over at the sight of Su Xuan. The pain from his broken limbs almost made him faint.
"Meng’er, don’t be afraid, I’m here; he won’t dare to hit you," Wang Xing said, nearly in tears from heartache.
"Heh!" Su Xuan let out a cold laugh, clenched his fists, "Even if the King of Heaven were here today, I’m afraid he couldn’t stop me."
Wang Xing, seeing how furious Su Xuan was and pointing at Su Xuan’s nose, scolded, "You ungrateful wretch! Out of respect for your father, I let it slide when you hit Meng’er a few times, thinking you wouldn’t dare take an inch. Looks like you’ve become audacious."
Hearing Wang Xing mention his father, Su Xuan’s expression turned even uglier, his gaze fixing on Wang Xing like that of a murderer.
As if oblivious, Wang Xing continued to vent his anger, "Su Xuan, you better pray that Meng’er’s injuries can be healed. Otherwise, even though your father treated me well and gave me Fenghua Group, I won’t let you off the hook."
"Do you really have the face to mention my father? Don’t you know who caused his death?" Su Xuan spoke with a heavy voice, his muscles tensed up, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
"Ah, so you knew all along." Wang Xing was startled by Su Xuan’s demeanor, but then he sneered, realizing, "Even if you know, what can you do? Let me tell you, you’re now a pauper with nothing. What do you have to fight against me? I am now a billionaire entrepreneur."
