Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 458 - 387: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 27_2
But now, Su Zhiruan naturally wouldn’t meddle in this matter, paying lip service to please them was enough, only a true fool would let themselves be used as a scapegoat.
"We’re almost home, some things should come to an end," Su Qin patted Zhu Manqing’s hand to comfort her, and then he looked towards the entrance of the Su Family home. Su Zhiruan also shifted her gaze towards her own home’s entrance. She leaned back in her chair to adjust her sitting posture, holding an attitude of someone ready to watch a good show. A good play was about to unfold; the only question was whether Ning Fu could maintain his placid and unaggressive nature this time. Without her as a tool, it remained to be seen if anyone would still willingly be backstabbed or manipulated by him.
Soon, the three of them got out of the car and the secretary parked the vehicle in the garage.
Su Zhiruan courteously let Su Qin and Zhu Manqing go ahead while Su Qin used facial recognition to unlock the house door, then carefully escorted Zhu Manqing into the house.
When they opened the front door, Su Zhiruan followed closely behind them, first noticing the empty living room.
Looking around, it seemed there wasn’t a single person in the house.
Su Qin furrowed his brows, scanned the area thoroughly, and confirmed that indeed no one was present, while the living room was spotlessly clean.
He then called out loudly, "Is anyone there?"
Absolute silence.
Just as Su Qin thought the house was empty, he suddenly heard a noise coming from a room on the first floor as something was smashed to the ground, so he went to check it out. freeweɓnøvel.com
The source of the noise was Su Zhiruan’s room. Su Zhiruan also cast her gaze in that direction, squinting slightly as if she already knew what it was.
Su Qin, on the other hand, went straight to Su Zhiruan’s room and opened the door.
The next second, his eyes met with Su Tianci on the floor.
"What are you doing? What are you doing in your sister’s room?! Sneaking around!"
Before, Su Qin was in a fairly good mood, but after seeing Su Tianci fiddling around in Su Zhiruan’s room and out of guilt, breaking something, he instantly recalled what Su Zhiruan had told him; Su Tianci often went through his safe.
His brows furrowed tightly, "My Su Family descendants have never been thieves. What exactly are you trying to do in your sister’s room? Is this how your mother teaches you when I’m not around?"
Su Tianci clutched the object behind him tightly; he was at a loss for words, but he couldn’t articulate any excuse. Hearing Su Qin say, "Is this how your mom teaches you," he quickly interjected, "It’s not like that, it wasn’t mommy who taught me, it was me... I wanted to put some Calming Incense in Su—ugh, in my sister’s room."
Su Qin, a seasoned fox in the business world, could easily see through his evasive and guilty eyes. He frowned and countered, "You came to put Calming Incense in your sister’s room? Then show it to me, bring out the Calming Incense."
Now Su Tianci had nothing to say, after all, he wasn’t there to place Calming Incense, but to cause trouble. He had originally thought that if no one was escorting Su Zhiruan back after her exam, it would take her at least another half hour to walk back. However, to his surprise, she returned so quickly, and with two other people—one his father and the other, the woman his father was keeping.
"Tianci, what you’re doing is wrong. You can’t just rummage through your sister’s room. As her brother, you should respect her. Don’t let others’ malicious words about your sister blind you or follow them in bullying her. After all, some people are outsiders, but some are connected to you by blood as your real siblings!" Zhu Manqing feigned a gentle advice, but the triumph in her eyes was fully displayed in front of Su Tianci. Su Zhiruan also saw the fleeting gleam in her eyes. Clearly, her words were not genuine guidance for Su Tianci, but indirect insinuations against others.
Su Qin wasn’t foolish; he too detected the insinuations in Zhu Manqing’s words about Ning Fu’s poor parenting. But as the saying goes, the subjective often outweighs the objective, especially in situations like this. Right now, his biggest concern was Zhu Manqing and his biggest aversion was to Ning Fu. Even though Zhu Manqing’s words hinted at Ning Fu, he would only perceive them as Zhu Manqing’s caring and concern for him, which is why she was making insinuations—it was jealousy!
He frowned and asked Su Tianci, "Where is your mom, why isn’t she at home? And where are the servants?"
