Chapter 341 - 169: Big Trouble! (Part 2)
After class, Su Yanjing was about to pack his things and leave, but he noticed that all his classmates were secretly pointing fingers, seemingly discussing something. He was a good student, always listening attentively to the teacher, even though he had learned it all years ago.
The afternoon class was a big lecture, three hours long, without breaks, so naturally, Su Yanjing didn’t have the chance to sneak a peek at the news midway. Just because he didn’t do it, doesn’t mean other students didn’t; as soon as they went online, they saw a huge gossip news pop-up!
Su Yanjing was part of the Su Family, and this was no secret in the class. Seeing the Su Family in trouble, it was only natural for the others to associate him with it. On the way from the classroom to the dormitory, he was subjected to inexplicable stares and scrutiny, feeling quite puzzled.
Back at the dorm, he took off his school uniform jacket and was about to undo his tie to prepare for a shower when a thunderous sound came from the entrance—the door was violently kicked open.
Unhappy, Su Yanjing threw the tie onto the sofa, wanting to see which daredevil had the audacity to kick his door! Did they really think he was easy to bully and manipulate?
However, before he could take any action, the bold door-kicker rushed over, grabbed his wrist, and tried to drag him outside. He halted the person’s actions and coldly asked, "What’s going on?"
This Grand Uncle was indeed losing his elder authority, acting impulsively and trying to drag him away.
"The situation is dire, why waste time asking?!" Normally playful, Su Lu now wore an indescribably stern and angry expression, "Don’t worry about these things now, I’ll take you away and explain on the way... Hurry home!"
Home...? Su Yanjing showed a shocked expression, then Su Lu dragged him along, passing the entrance where he saw the tragically damaged door. He couldn’t help but twitch his lips, wondering what earth-shattering event had happened to make the others so unsettled?
The ancestral home of the Su Family was under the Qiming Star, so the family home was naturally there too. However, the family home’s location was secluded and very far from the school; even using the fastest transportation, it would still take four to five hours to reach.
"Can you tell me now?" Su Yanjing seldom called Su Lu Grand Uncle, for the other’s image hardly suited the title. Adding to that, Su Lu’s succinct way of speaking often ignored people’s titles, making him long to hear Su Yanjing softly call him Grand Uncle.
"Look at this and you’ll understand!" Su Lu dragged Su Yanjing into his floating private car, equipped with the latest short-distance black hole technology. Sulkingly, he sat down on the sofa and took a can of beer from the adjacent miniature fridge.
Receiving the link sent by his Grand Uncle, Su Yanjing clicked it open, his initial confusion and shock turning into anger, and finally, he smashed the tea table in front of him, gritting his teeth, "Is this actually true?"
"It’s absolutely true, couldn’t be more true!" Although Su Lu grew up in Augustus, he was still part of the Su Family, wasn’t he? How could he not support his own? Now the Su Family was inexplicably smeared, and he was fuming, "That woman really is..."
"She really was too careless..." Su Yanjing turned off the smart brain, his eyes flashing dangerously.
Actually, some things were beyond his comprehension; since Su Qixin had been adopted by the Su Family, how could her holdings go unnoticed? There should have been an investigation, right? How did the Su Family not detect problems with this entertainment company? As for Princess Fusu’s identity... surely, it would be investigated, right? Having secrets revealed is quite normal, isn’t it?
"Humph, this isn’t just carelessness!" Su Lu clenched his fists, holding back his frustration, "The outsider’s opinion is continually developing negatively; the Su Family is shouldering an unjust blame... In reality, such a woman with an unclear background shouldn’t have been adopted! What kind of good daughter could Su Changdao, that crooked man, raise? When the roof beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be too!"
"Someone is deliberately attacking the Su Family." Su Yanjing couldn’t believe the Su Family hadn’t reacted at all, but judging by his Grand Uncle’s demeanor, it was clear the public opinion hadn’t been controlled and was increasingly unfavorable to the Su Family.
If it were any other family, they might not care about their reputation at all, as no one can ensure they don’t have an oddball or wastrel offspring. But if one offspring’s mistake dragged down the whole family, life would be too difficult.
