Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Instinctive Aversion

Su Zhe wasn’t particularly upset, but was reminded of it by the child’s naive, tender babble.

Su Zhe realized he wasn’t particularly upset.

It seemed like a long time since he had heard the name Su Yukan.

Because Su Zhe’s business had grown large and he was busy with work, often traveling, Su Lu and Su Yi left Feng City, so Su Zhe rarely went back—there wasn’t much need for him to return frequently in the past, only because Su Lu was there.

Later, there were even fewer reasons to go back.

As a result, his visits became less and less frequent, and news about Su Yukan came to him only in bits and pieces reported by his secretary.

The Su Family’s business was not easy to handle, being targeted by both the Gu Family and Jiang Family, especially since Gu Xin took over the Gu Family... The projects and businesses that were cooperated on with the marriage alliance with Su Lu had long been completed.

In Gu Xin’s view, he had fulfilled his obligations. He had no reason to show any further consideration for the Su Family.

And as for the Jiang Family, since Jiang Li considered Su Lu a friend, it was not surprising that the Jiang Family’s company would thwart Su Yukan’s company, given Su Yukan’s past treatment of Su Lu.

All in all, the Su Family was no longer what it used to be. But a camel, even when emaciated, is still bigger than a horse, and they would not be left destitute. As long as Su Yukan was content, his family of three could still live comfortably.

Su Zhe never pushed the Su Family to their demise, so he was well aware that his father’s days couldn’t be too hard.

That’s why he paid even less attention.

So when he heard that Su Yukan had fallen ill, and it was quite serious,

Su Zhe was a bit stunned; it was Shen Xun who reminded him, "Go back and see him. Since he’s sent the message to you, he surely hopes you’ll return."

At the time, Su Zhe shook his head, "Not just that."

And at this moment, he said to Su Lu, "He doesn’t just hope I’ll return, he hopes we all will."

Su Lu felt a pang in her heart and frowned, "Who?"

"Us."

"Including who?"

From Su Lu’s words, it was already clear she was resistant.

"Me, you, Su Yi," Su Zhe said.

Su Lu didn’t respond.

She had long lost the desire to have any sort of connection with anyone or anything to do with the Su Family, except for Su Zhe.

Su Lu was immensely grateful to be completely disconnected from the Su Family, and she had no interest in returning to Feng City.

Her mother was here, her brother was here, her son was here.

Her home was also here; thus, she had no desire to go anywhere else.

In her twenty-some years at the Su Family, she never had the chance or the right to express it, but in reality, Su Lu felt she was quite a homebody.

It’s just that the Su Family had never given her a sense of belonging; it had never felt like her home.

"I don’t..." Su Lu began to say.

Then Zhao Ying gently suggested, "Just go and have a look."

"Mom?" Su Lu was somewhat surprised; frankly, one of the reasons she didn’t want to go to Feng City was that she didn’t want to have any contact with anyone from the Su Family besides Su Zhe—to spare her mother and Brother Xun’s feelings.

Yet Zhao Ying encouraged her to go, which was unexpected for Su Lu.

"Go and have a look; consider it keeping Zhe company. Honestly, Brother Xun and I owe Zhe a favor. A few meals of yellow croaker dumplings every year can’t settle it, so accompany Zhe for me. Besides, we haven’t planned Zhao Xiaole’s summer vacation yet; take him to Feng City for some fun. Didn’t they just open a new Ocean Park and amusement park in Feng City? I heard it’s the biggest in the central region. Take Xiao Le there; he’ll definitely enjoy it."

Zhao Ying said with a smile.

A sense of warmth slowly spread in Su Zhe’s heart as he looked at Zhao Ying.

Honestly, before he had any interactions with Zhao Ying, it had been a very long time since Su Zhe had felt this kind of warmth.

This kind of... almost maternal feeling.

Gentle, inclusive.

He felt that he had benefited from Su Lu’s presence.

"I’m happy!" Zhao Xiaole, with a mackerel dumpling in his mouth, lit up his eyes as he heard this and immediately exclaimed.

Su Lu quickly said, "Don’t talk while eating, be careful not to choke!"

"Oh..." Zhao Xiaole pouted, chewed vigorously, and swallowed before complaining with a sulky face to Zhao Ying, "Grandma, your daughter is scolding me."

Zhao Ying laughed with her eyes curving into crescents.

With Zhao Xiaole’s interruption, the mood fortunately wasn’t as serious as before.

Su Lu smiled helplessly, nodded, and said, "Got it."

She then turned her eyes to Su Zhe, "It’s not that I’m going to see him, we’re just taking Zhao Xiaole on a summer trip."

Su Zhe smiled and nodded, "Okay."

That settled it, and Zhao Xiaole was very happy about it. Especially since both his uncles had come, he became somewhat overexcited, running around the living room all evening like a blithe little bird.

It was Shen Xun who finally scooped him up, "Alright! Good kids should go to bed early. Come on! Uncle will take you to bathe and go to sleep!"

That effectively turned off the jubilant little bird’s switch.

Shen Xun took Zhao Xiaole to bathe, told him stories, and put him to sleep.

Zhao Ying glanced at Su Lu and Su Zhe and then stood up, "You sit, I’ll go peel some fruit."

"Aunt Zhao, don’t trouble yourself. How about I go..." said Su Zhe.

Zhao Ying waved her hand, "I can do it."

With Zhao Ying in the kitchen, the living room quieted down.

Su Lu turned to Su Zhe and asked, "What illness does he have?"

She instinctively distrusted the Su Yukan family of three.

Because of this instinctual distrust, she didn’t believe any of their actions, always finding them dubious, whether they were truly dubious or not.

Even if they said that Su Yukan was sick, Su Lu’s first reaction was to wonder if he was trying to trick them again.

Thinking this way, Su Lu had no reason to hide her thoughts from Su Zhe and straightforwardly said, "Is he... trying to trick us again? After all, he’s done it more than once."

Su Zhe sighed gently, "At first, I thought the same."

Although they hadn’t heard much news about Su Yukan in recent years, at the beginning, there had been news about him; he had cried sick before, just hoping that Su Zhe could find a way to consider him for some project at the company.

It was like the boy who cried wolf.

By crying sick too often, he had lost his credibility.

So, Su Lu instinctively suspected.

Su Zhe shook his head, "This time it seems to be real. The diagnosis was sent directly over, and I had Qiao Li inquire about it, indeed it’s no lie..."

"What illness?" Su Lu asked.

Su Zhe, "Cerebral hemorrhage, quite sudden. Apparently, the prognosis isn’t good..."

The illness indeed was quite serious; if not treated timely, anything bad was possible.

The prognosis was similar; if the treatment wasn’t timely, the outlook was definitely not good.

Su Lu frowned and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Has he woken up?"

"He’s awake, but it seems... he’s paralyzed."
