BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170: Can Only Struggle to Survive Under His Wings_1
“Seems like a tough choice. Then let me help. Su Hongxing stays, old woman, you can take Jiang Su away,” the man in the suit suggested.
Jiang’s old lady was both shocked and exhilarated, she reached out and held Jiang Su’s hand, ready to leave.
Jiang Su’s heart tightened, he looked back at Su Hongxing, crying: “Grandma, my sister is still here, we can’t leave…”
“First, cut off Su Hongxing’s legs so she can’t run away…” The man in the suit commenced behind them.
Jiang’s old lady slowed her steps, for the first time hesitating. She thought it would be an easy decision, but when it came down to the line, she just couldn’t do it.
“You can’t touch my sister, let her go…” Hearing the man’s words, Jiang Su went berserk, shook off his grandmother’s hand, and charged at the two men holding Su Hongxing. He immediately bit the closest man.
The man who was bitten casually threw Jiang Su to the ground, and Jiang’s old lady also rushed back, doing anything she could to fight back. The scene quickly became chaotic.
Jiang Su was kicked several times by the men, and the old lady was beaten until her face was swollen and bruised. Su Hongxing stood to the side, fists clenched, reminding herself not to soften.
If she really called them to stop, she would have fallen for Ye Qilan’s trap.
However, as the man in the suit was about to rip off Jiang Su’s clothes, and Su Hongxing could bear it no longer. She stormed up to him, slapped his face, and shouted, “Take your filthy hands off him!”
Although the man in the suit was hit, he couldn’t be happier. The charade was difficult; he needed to avoid harming Su Hongxing, but he also couldn’t let it look too fake.
No matter what, Su Hongxing had still spoken up, and he had a course of action to report to Ye Si…
Ye Qilan was standing in front of a monitor, taking in everything that had just happened.
He knew it, Su Hongxing simply couldn’t be truly ruthless. Despite their crude manners, both the old lady and Jiang Su would never actually abandon Su Hongxing when push came to shove.
That was precisely where Su Hongxing was vulnerable.
As long as Su Hongxing had a weak spot, Ye Qilan could strangle her with it, causing her to barely hang on under his shadow.
In the private room, Jiang’s old lady was sobbing, hugging both Su Hongxing and Jiang Su, crying, “It’s all my fault. It would have been better if I didn’t bring Xiaosu to Taicheng. Now look what happened, both of you have been dragged into it by me, what are we going to do from now on?”
“Sister, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you.” Jiang Su noticed that Su Hongxing was silent, so he thought that she was in shock.
In response, Su Hongxing sneered: “How will you protect me? All you can do is to spend money, what else can you do?”
Jiang Su’s face flushed crimson as he stuttered, “I… I didn’t spend anything, the money is with grandma, I didn’t hurt a dime, grandma saved all of it.”
Every time, his grandma would coax him to ask Su Hongxing for money, but little of it was actually spent on him. He suspected his grandmother had pocketed the money herself.
Seeing both Su Hongxing and Jiang Su looking at her, Jiang’s old lady awkwardly explained: “Xiaosu needs enough dowry to have confidence when she gets married, otherwise she will be despised by her husband’s family. Being an old woman, I don’t know how to make money myself, the least I can do is to ask Hongxing for money for the dowry.”
The only person from whom she could ask for money was Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing and Jiang Su both fell silent. Neither sister had expected that Jiang’s old lady was asking Su Hongxing for money for that reason.
“What kind of feudal thinking is this? The right path is to let Xiaosu receive a good education. Once Xiaosu graduates from university, she will be able to earn her own money.” After a moment, Su Hongxing finally spoke..
