Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Mainly Hungry

Perhaps it was because Su Lu’s face bore no expression, that expressionless, indifferent face could make people feel the rejection all too clearly.

Su Yukan’s expression awkwardly lingered for a moment, and then, uncharacteristically, he even managed a smile.

You should know, even back when he wanted Su Lu to marry Gu Xin, Su Yukan had never offered her so much as a smile.

First, he talked to her about the matter, and when she disagreed, Su Yukan resorted to violence and threats.

But now, he was actually smiling, a testament to how tough Su Zhe had been on him, and no small challenge either.

"Xiaolu, Daddy knows that his attitude towards you wasn’t very good before, but Daddy just has that kind of temper. Don’t hold it against your father. Look how the family’s turned out now, with no peace at all—it’s so unpleasant and even gives others something to laugh at," Su Yukan said with a smile.

The sincerity of the first half of his statement aside, the latter part was probably from the heart—it was indeed a laughing stock.

In the past, Su Yukan was always the most dominant and successful in front of the Su Family’s relatives, with a good career, an ambitious son, and a harmonious family.

Even after Su Zhe and he fell out completely, to outsiders, it was still ’the bones may break but the sinews remain connected. What father and son would truly fall out?

But this time was different; Su Zhe showed no mercy and even kicked Su Yukan and his family out of the Su Residence.

He also didn’t shy away from striking blows to Su Yukan’s career, no longer a case of the sinews remaining connected.

Naturally, to everyone else, it became the butt of a joke. Su Yukan, who used to command respect in the eyes of the relatives, was naturally having a hard time now.

Su Lu showed no emotion, "That’s between you and Su Zhe. I can’t help or interfere in that. Instead of insisting here, you might as well talk to Su Zhe."

Su Yukan’s face turned an ugly shade of white and green, struggling to maintain his smile, "You!"

It looked as if he was about to burst into a rage. Su Yi had been sitting quietly on the side playing games on his phone but now, he glanced up with a look of calm complexity in his eyes, an indiscernible flavor to it.

Su Yukan restrained himself again, took a deep breath, and said, "Isn’t that because Su Zhe values and listens to you more..."

Su Lu said nothing. Su Yukan paused and then decided not to press, changing the topic, "Let’s not talk about that—do you know about Boss’s opening banquet?"

At this, Su Lu finally lifted her eyelids a bit and glanced at him.

Su Yukan rubbed his hands together, "Boss didn’t invite me, but you seem to have a good relationship with him. Could you take me to that banquet to have a look? With Boss’s opening banquet, there must be many business opportunities for collaboration..."

Su Lu spoke indifferently, "I wasn’t invited either, so I can’t help you there."

Bang!

Su Yukan, facing rejection twice, obviously could no longer contain his rage and forcefully slammed his hand on the table, his complexion turning iron blue with visible anger.

Su Lu was used to his outbursts and sudden rages toward her. But Su Yi, apparently not accustomed to such behavior, completely stopped what he was doing on his phone.

With a slight furrow of his brow, he couldn’t help but look towards Su Lu.

He was surprised at her indifferent composure, as if she was accustomed to all this and could easily dismiss it with ease.

And he was even more shocked at how long he had been neglectful, never having noticed that she had been living under such verbal abuse.

"You really think you’ve grown strong wings, don’t you!" Su Yukan hissed through clenched teeth, "You think I can’t deal with you anymore, is that it?!"

"You may not be able to clean me up, and I can’t do what I can’t do. Limited ability." Su Lu stood up, "Nothing else then?"

She was ready to leave the reception room.

Su Yukan’s voice was dark and secretive as he echoed, "You’re not even going to take care of Su Yi?"

Su Lu’s step faltered, her brows furrowed.

Su Yi’s face suddenly tensed up, his fingertips gripped his phone screen so hard it seemed he might crush it.

Su Lu pursed her lips and stayed silent for a while, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Even if you say it like that, I can’t help with things that are out of my hands. You know Su Zhe’s temperament better than I do. Bo Jingshen isn’t someone who can be easily provoked either. My abilities are limited, something you’re well aware of, and you’ve emphasized it countless times over the years. I’m just a person without capabilities. Getting married was my mission, and I have fulfilled my mission over these five years."

After Su Lu finished, she made a gesture indicating ’please’, "If there’s nothing else, I won’t see you out."

Su Yukan stared at her for a while, as if to confirm the truthfulness of her words. He seemed to find no clues in her expression.

It was as if he accepted the truth of her words, so he didn’t insist further. He just stood up, gave a cold snort, and left without looking back.

When he reached the entrance of the reception room, he stopped, looked back coldly, and said, "Truly an incompetent nuisance!"

Then he left without looking back.

After Su Yukan left, Su Lu took a long breath, slowly exhaled, and then walked out of the reception room.

However, behind her came the clear voice of a young man with a slight stiffness and awkwardness in his tone.

"Why... are you never angry?" asked Su Yi.

He didn’t understand; even someone made of clay should show some anger. Why was she never angry? Was it because of him? Even though he was naive, he could see that Su Yukan seemed to be trying to use him to threaten Su Lu.

Su Lu looked at him, "I can’t afford to be angry. If I got angry every time for all these years, I’d have died of anger by now."

Su Yi frowned and stared at her, and when Su Lu noticed he remained silent, with her mind on going out for Japanese food, she said, "If there’s nothing else then..."

"I’ll take you out for a meal," Su Yi suddenly said.

Su Lu was taken aback, somewhat unexpectedly. After all, Su Yi had been successfully courted by Zhu Xinyan and Su Jiao. Dining together was a treatment usually reserved for the two of them.

In all these years, she as the older sister had never been treated to that.

Seeing that she didn’t reply, Su Yi thought she might be unwilling. He furrowed his brows even more and, after a while, added, "If you don’t have time, then..."

"I want to eat at a nearby Japanese restaurant. You eat Japanese food, right?" asked Su Lu.

Su Yi was taken aback, then nodded, "I can eat it."

"Okay then, let’s go. I’m hungry." Su Lu walked ahead briskly, and after a moment’s hesitation, Su Yi hurried to catch up, watching the hurried pace of the woman in front.

For some reason, Su Yi felt a sensation he couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, as if... she was in such a rush to dismiss Su Yukan, perhaps largely because she wanted to get to lunch?

Su Yi bit his teeth quietly, feeling like he had wasted his sympathy for her before.

She had already found her way of surviving in such adversities.
