Chapter 263 Su Mingcheng Takes a Risk

After the meal, Su Daqiang "benefited greatly".

While Yang Muye and Su Daqiang were chatting, Xiaohe excused herself to go to the restroom and quietly paid the bill.

This made Su Daqiang feel "very embarrassed" when he went to pay the bill. He complained that Yang Muyi should stay in Suzhou for a couple more days, and that he would be the tour guide and arrange the food and lodging.

Yang Muye declined.

He also reminded Su Daqiang that the most urgent thing right now is to find a lawyer and file for divorce from Zhao Meilan as soon as possible.

Su Daqiang nodded vigorously after hearing this, indicating that he would take care of it first thing tomorrow morning.

Su Mingyu, standing to the side, felt a mix of emotions.

She never imagined that a DNA test report between siblings, while resolving a long-standing doubt, would also destroy her family.

Especially when I think of my mother, Zhao Meilan—

Cough!

Yang Muye pretended to cough, but he was actually reminding Su Daqiang.

Now it's time to begin your performance!

Su Daqiang was stunned, inwardly cursing himself for being so foolish.

So caught up in the excitement of divorcing Zhao Meilan, he almost forgot that his current persona is that of a loving father who dotes on his daughter.

Immediately, Su Daqiang changed to a kind face and on the way back, he was very attentive to Su Mingyu.

He wished he could make up for all the fatherly love he had missed over the years.

Su Mingyu isn't stupid; she can tell that most of her father's affection is an act.

But she had been starved of love for so long that even though she knew Su Daqiang was acting, she couldn't help but be deeply moved.

Tears streamed down her face like they were free.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the alley where the Su family lived, Su Mingyu decided to accompany Su Daqiang home.

Su Daqiang absolutely refused.

He repeatedly urged Su Mingyu to return to Shanghai and study hard, and to help Yang Muyi's nanny with her studies.

Once the lawsuit in Suzhou is over, I will go to Shanghai to see Su Mingyu.

When they finally got off the bus, the father and daughter burst into tears.

Su Daqiang stood at the alley entrance, watching the Mercedes MPV drive away until it disappeared from sight, before turning away "reluctantly".

Similarly, while sitting in the car, Su Mingyu leaned against the back of the back seat until she could no longer see her father's figure through the rear windshield, at which point she stopped crying and sat up straight again.

Yang Muye handed over a box of tissues from the front row.

"Thank you."

Su Mingyu took the tissue and pulled out two tissues to wipe away her tears.

After calming down, lift your head.

“I know you want to tell me that my dad’s performances were mostly for show, but I still want to thank you for giving my dad this idea.”

Su Mingyu has lost her mother, so the love from her father is incredibly precious to her.

Even if it was all an act, Su Mingyu was happy to accept it.

Most importantly, Su Mingyu knew that Yang Muye's main reason for encouraging Su Daqiang to become an internet celebrity and publicly fight Zhao Meilan was to help her reduce the moral pressure she faced.

Essentially, this is also a form of protection for Su Mingyu.

Su Mingyu will remember this kindness forever.

"Actually, don't think of me as so noble. I have my own selfish reasons for doing this."

Yang Muye's words immediately drew the attention of Su Mingyu and Xiao He, who was standing to the side.

He then shrugged and explained:

“I’m quite interested in your house and the surrounding environment. I’d like to rent the house and the neighboring houses and turn them into a bed and breakfast.”

Su Daqiang wants to maintain his "beloved daughter" persona, so he will definitely move to Shanghai to live with Su Mingyu in a while.

Whether it's selling or renting, Yang Muye will have the advantage of being close to the source.

Yang Muye did this mainly to bring Su Mingyu back to rationality.

Don't let momentary emotions cloud your judgment and affect your subsequent actions.

“Since your dad loves acting so much, you must learn to use that to your advantage. It’s the key to getting under his thumb in the future.”

Simply put, it's about cooperating with Su Daqiang to play the "filial piety" role.

This forces Su Daqiang to maintain the persona of a "daughter lover" for his entire life.

The path you choose, you must walk it to the end, even if you have to crawl on your knees!

This trick was learned from a certain princess in my past life.

The late emperor was so forced by the eldest princess's move that he dared not collapse his tomb during his lifetime, until after his death, when the spectacular sight of his tomb collapsing was finally staged.

Su Mingyu nodded seriously, a thoughtful expression on her face.

At this moment, the car suddenly braked.

Fortunately, everyone in the car was wearing a seatbelt, so nothing serious happened.

Just as Yang Muyi and Xiao He were about to ask the driver what was going on, a familiar figure walked around the front of the car to one side door and forcefully pounded on the car window.

It's Su Mingcheng.

Yang Muye rolled down the car window and glanced out with a cold look in his eyes.

Su Mingcheng, who was about to yell at Su Mingyu to get out of the car, suddenly chickened out.

"I—I'm here to find my sister."

He had already prepared himself for Su Mingyu not to get out of the car and to start acting like a spoiled child.

Unexpectedly, Yang Muye actually opened the car door.

"Say what you have to say!"

Su Mingcheng was stunned on the spot.

At that moment, he felt as if Yang Muye had seen through all his thoughts.

Yang Muyi frowned impatiently: "What, you're not going to take a ride? You want to take a car back to Shanghai by yourself?"

Before Su Mingcheng could reply, Yang Muye immediately instructed the driver to start the car.

The car is stopped in the middle of the road, obstructing traffic.

At this point, Su Mingcheng didn't care about saving face and quickly got into the car.

After sitting down in the back row, I was about to speak.

Su Mingyu turned her head away, as if to say, "Out of sight, out of mind."

"Fasten your seatbelts, we're about to get on the highway," Yang Muye's voice came from the front seat.

Fearing he would be kicked off the bus, Su Mingcheng had no choice but to obey.

Xiao He turned around from her seat and handed Su Mingcheng a business card.

Su Mingcheng was flattered and quickly accepted the gift with both hands.

When I looked at the contents of the business card, I was dumbfounded.

Shanghai Yongyi Funeral Service Company.

Local service, 24-hour fast arrival.

Our comprehensive service puts your mind at ease and gives peace of mind to the deceased!
Contact number: 136XXXXXXX
Xiao He chimed in, "Hey buddy, are you out of your mind blocking a car in the middle of the road? Luckily, our driver reacted quickly, or you'd be dead."

"This is my family's company. Keep the business card; you never know when you might need it."

Su Mingcheng wanted to swear, but he didn't dare.

After all, he was the one who stopped the car in the middle of the road, so he was in the wrong from the start.

This is indeed quite dangerous, but Su Mingcheng has no choice.

If you want to meet Su Mingyu alone, you have to flag down a car at the highway entrance.

Once the car was on the highway, Su Mingcheng hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:
"Su Mingyu, I have something to tell you."

Su Mingyu looked out the car window to the side.

"Go ahead and say it, I'm listening."

In the past, if Su Mingyu had dared to ignore him like this, Su Mingcheng would definitely have been angry. But right now, Su Mingcheng didn't have time to care about such things.

“I want you to help persuade Dad—I know I’m no longer qualified to call him Dad, but the kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth to them. Although I’m not his biological child, I’m not the kind of wolf cub that can’t be tamed.”

Su Mingyu suddenly turned her head and stared at Su Mingcheng with an unfriendly gaze.

Su Mingcheng hurriedly waved his hand.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not implying anything against you. Mom did some really bad things to you, but she's still our mother, isn't she? Even if Dad wants to divorce Mom, can't we talk things out instead of taking it to court?"

Su Mingyu snorted coldly.

"Are you saying this because you want to put yourself in the dock as well?"

Su Mingcheng was speechless for a moment.

Finally, she steeled herself and readily admitted, "Yes, I'm afraid Dad will kill both me and Mom, that's why I came to discuss this with you."

“You talk to Dad, and I'll talk to Mom, and see if we can get them to agree to a divorce. The house and savings can be left to Dad, but he can't ask Mom and me for compensation anymore.”

"I was kept in the dark about this whole time; I'm partly a victim too—"

"roll!"

Su Mingyu's eyes were filled with disgust.

She had never felt that a person's face could be so repulsive as she did now.

Su Mingcheng succeeded on his own.

How can there be such shameless people in this world?
Su Mingcheng's mouth moved slightly.

He wasn't afraid that Su Mingyu would dislike him, but he was afraid of angering Yang Muye, who would abandon him on the highway halfway through the journey.

After a while, Su Mingcheng cautiously spoke up: "I know Dad must hate Mom and me to death right now, and I don't expect him to forgive me."

Su Mingyu turned her head abruptly, looking displeased.

I know you're still spouting nonsense.

Su Mingcheng looked aggrieved: "Can you let me finish what I have to say first? I have something here that might be useful to Dad."

As he spoke, he took out the hard-shell notebook from his bag.

"This is Mom's account book. It records every penny that Uncle has taken and borrowed from our family over the years. I've roughly calculated it, and it's over ten thousand yuan!"

Su Mingyu reached out to take the notebook, but Su Mingcheng reached out to protect her.

"You have to promise me first that you'll convince Dad not to ask Mom and me for compensation anymore before I can give you this."

At this moment, Yang Muyi, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly turned around.

"Can you let me see it?"

Su Mingcheng hesitated for a moment, but still handed the notebook to Yang Muye.

Yang Muyi flipped through the notebook and glanced at it briefly before handing it to Xiao He, satisfying Xiao He's curiosity. Only then did he return the notebook to Su Mingcheng.

"Don't treat this as a treasure. It's useless. It's all your mother's one-sided record. Your uncle can simply deny it, and it can't be used as evidence in court."

Seeing Su Mingcheng's stunned expression, Yang Muye continued:

"On the contrary, if this thing falls into your father's hands, he will have even more reason to demand compensation from your mother. It is marital property that was unilaterally transferred by your mother to your uncle's family. Your uncle may not acknowledge it, but your mother must explain where the money went."

Su Mingcheng was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

He thought this notebook could serve as a pledge of loyalty, so that Su Daqiang would spare him and his mother and turn to his uncle's family for money.

Who would have thought it was a suicide bomb?

After hearing Yang Muyi's words, Su Mingyu didn't bother to look at the notebook in Su Mingcheng's hand anymore.

She knew her good-for-nothing brother all too well.

Incompetent bungler!
Besides, Su Daqiang is now obsessed with becoming an internet celebrity, and he's just hoping to gain traffic by fighting a divorce case with Zhao Meilan.

On one side is her cold-blooded and ruthless mother who treats her like a nobody.

On one hand, there's the father who's a complete drama queen, but at least he's willing to pretend to care for and love her.

Su Mingyu has seen through it all.

She would absolutely not get involved in her parents' divorce.

Seeing that Su Mingyu was no longer paying attention to him, Su Mingcheng, who had run out of cards, panicked completely.

"Mingyu, I am your brother, and that paternity test report clearly states that we are related by blood!"

Su Mingyu remained silent, only offering a cold laugh.

Now that you know I'm your sister, where were you when I was treated like a servant by Mom and suffered all sorts of injustices?

Only now are they thinking of playing the family card.

Do you deserve it?
Su Mingcheng's mouth moved, but in the end he had nothing to say.

For the rest of the journey, Su Mingcheng did not find another opportunity to speak.

Back in Shanghai, as soon as they got off the highway, Yang Muye told the driver to pull over.

Half a minute later.

Su Mingcheng stood by the roadside, watching helplessly as the Mercedes MPV sped away.

There were no taxis available in this area, and it took Su Mingcheng more than an hour to walk to the nearest subway station.

However, Su Mingcheng didn't rush to take the subway. Instead, he found an internet cafe nearby first.

Su Mingcheng had already figured it out on the way here.

There's no way to count on Su Mingyu; her younger sister has been rebellious since she was little.

Given his current predicament, it's already considered merciful of Su Mingyu not to kick him while he's down.

But if one door closes, another opens.

It must be almost dawn in California, across the ocean, by now.
"Drip drip!"

The notification sound of a new message on QQ startled Su Mingzhe, who was hunched over his computer.

I glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the screen; it was already past six in the morning.

Did I only sleep for less than an hour?

Su Mingzhe struggled to open his sleepy eyes and looked at the chat window in the center of the screen.

Upon seeing the message from Su Mingcheng, his pupils dilated in shock!
"Brother, it's extremely urgent! Something terrible has happened!"

"Your parents are getting a divorce. You need to find a way to persuade them, and it would be best if you could come back right away!"

Su Mingzhe immediately typed to ask what had happened.

I was only halfway through the game when my brain finally caught up with me.

Why are my parents suddenly getting a divorce?

The only possible reason is the DNA test report that Su Mingyu and Su Mingcheng did together.

So, is my guess true?
For a moment, Su Mingzhe was in a state of utter confusion.

Seeing that Su Mingzhe hadn't replied to his message for a while, Su Mingcheng sent a message with a shaking window.

"Brother, are you there?"

Su Mingzhe took a deep breath and began typing on the keyboard.

"Is it you or Mingyu?"

Standing in front of the computer at the internet cafe, Su Mingcheng was stunned.

He originally intended to conceal the DNA test results and use his parents' divorce to divert Su Mingzhe's attention.

Surprisingly, Su Mingzhe, who is usually easily fooled, did not fall for it this time.

When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems.

This time, Su Mingcheng truly experienced it firsthand.

I was going to try to stall for a few more minutes, but Su Mingzhe sent a shaking window without saying a word.

The meaning of "促催" is very clear.

"Didn't you already notice the clues? Yes, it was me!"

After sending the message, Su Mingcheng closed his eyes in despair.

tired!

Destroy it!
