Chapter 373: Chapter 377: After the Female Lead is Kidnapped and Sold (21)

Su Li’s stepmother had a pitiful look on her face as she softly called out, "Old Su... don’t be like this, the child is still young..."

After she said this, she sadly lowered her head.

It was supposed to be comforting, but far from easing Mr. Su’s anger, it only made him angrier.

Su Li, bored, flicked her eyelids and glanced at her.

Her stepmother was quite the actress.

It was like she hadn’t said anything, yet what she conveyed was better than anything she could have said.

With a demeanor of enduring humiliation, she provoked Mr. Su, who raised his voice a few notches, and full of rage, he called out, "Su Li!"

"Do you even know the rules anymore, do you expect your mother to bow down to you?"

Su Li dug at her ears, "My mom has long been buried in the ground, aren’t you aware? Where did this stepmother come from?"

Mr. Su’s nostrils flared enormously as he huffed and puffed with rage.

Su Li suddenly remembered a little furry donkey she had seen, angry and stomping around.

Ouch, suddenly she felt like eating donkey meat sandwich.

If it weren’t for Mr. Su’s arm being tightly held by his wife, he might have moved forward to take a swing at Su Li.

"Su Li, hurry and apologize to your dad. Look how upset he is... this, this is very thoughtless of you."

This couple talking to themselves made Su Li lose interest.

The interest she had felt a moment ago vanished without a trace, less satisfying than going out to bask in the sun.

Tired of dealing with them, Su Li straightforwardly said, "What are you here for? Give it to me in five minutes, I don’t have time for you."

Mr. Su, infuriated beyond measure, had insults ready at the tip of his tongue.

He was accustomed to treating his unlikable daughter with disdain.

However, before he could assert his paternal authority, he was sharply interrupted by someone beside Su Li, who clearly held a different status.

Mr. Su dared to treat Su Li this way because he firmly believed that no father is without rights.

No matter how much of a mess he was, his daughter just had to bear it.

But towards others, naturally, he couldn’t maintain the same assertiveness, his fire was immediately subdued. His eyes continuously darted towards Su Li, his eyelids twitching, but he received no response from Su Li.

Su Ye, who had been silent all this while, seemed embarrassed, looking as if she wanted to bury her head into her chest.

Obviously, she too felt that her parents’ behavior was inappropriate and humiliating.

At least there was someone sensible in this family.

"You said you wanted to talk to me, what about?" Su Li pointed towards Su Ye.

Su Ye’s lower lip turned white from her biting it, and hearing the question, she looked up, shamefully shook her head vigorously and weakly waved her hand, "No, nothing..."

After finishing, regardless of her parents’ plans, she ran out immediately.

She had said she didn’t want to come, but the other two family members simply didn’t listen to her.

Seeing their daughter run off, Su Ye’s mother became anxious, wanting to chase after her but reluctant to abandon the original plan.

A flicker of dissatisfaction with her always-angry husband crossed her eyes, and she spoke up herself.

"Su Li, Auntie has a favor to ask. Su Ye has a boyfriend at university, a very good match, his family is quite impressive and they really like Su Ye. In two days, both families will meet, and he proposed that we meet you too, sort of to lend Su Ye some support."

After the stepmother finished, Mr. Su in a commanding tone said, "It’s the day after tomorrow, at Junlin Hotel, twelve noon. Just come by yourself."

Su Li almost burst out laughing at Mr. Su’s matter-of-fact tone.

She laughed out loud, "Ah, who gave you the audacity to think that I would agree?"

Although she had a favorable impression of Su Ye, it was not enough to stoop down and entangle herself with unrelated individuals.

"Alright, let’s make things clear once and for all."

"You are my biological father, unquestionably, just as you brought me up, I will provide for you when you grow old. I will give back more than what you have given me."

"But as for others, and other things, don’t bother thinking about them. Even if you do, it won’t make any difference, I won’t acknowledge them."

Su Li knew that some people, seeing no way to establish a connection with her, had started to target her biological relatives.

But they were bound to be disappointed....

Mr. Su’s eyes widened in disbelief, and before he could recover, he was briskly escorted out.

There was no need for Su Li to spread the word, as those who had been paying attention understood her stance clearly.

---------------------

By the Public Calendar year 3019, Earth had already entered the interstellar age and had long abolished divisions of nations and species.

All Earthlings bore a single title, that of Blue Star Citizens.

Education for Blue Star Citizens began from the age of three.

From early childhood education to higher education, the history courses year after year continually referenced the inventors of the Intelligent Brain, Wen Zhu and Su Li.

These two had made modern intelligent technology prevalent and had given humanity the means to survive in the interstellar era.

Even now, many research designs were based on the extensions and developments of the Intelligent Brain.

The main Intelligent Brain that governed Blue Star was still the original Green Hat, albeit upgraded countless times.

Every Blue Star person was familiar with the names Wen Zhu and Su Li.

Compared to orthodox historical accounts, anecdotes about celebrities were obviously more interesting to the students.

At Interstellar Yabian High School, a history teacher spiritedly discussed the parents of the Intelligent Brain on stage, dripping with sweat from his enthusiasm.

The students below were dozing off; they had been learning about these individuals since early childhood and even in high school, they couldn’t escape the spell of these two.

The students could recite every deed of Wen Zhu and Su Li by heart; listening further to the teacher on stage was meaningless to them.

It was baffling why the interstellar government wouldn’t revise the history curriculum.

Constant repetition, no matter how interesting, had worn them smooth.

The teacher on stage didn’t care whether the students were listening or not; he was quite enjoying himself.

Taking advantage of the teacher’s inattention, two girls at the back of the class started passing a note.

"Do you think Wen Zhu and Su Li had an affair?"

"One never married in her entire life, and the other never married in his lifetime..."

"It’s possible—rumors say that Su Li’s unmatched beauty captivated countless people. Although Wen Zhu was the father of scientific research, he was still a man after all."

....

"You two at the back, stand up."

Frightened by the teacher’s sudden roar, the girls stuffed the notes in their mouths and swallowed them with a loud gulp.

Everyone knew their history teacher highly revered Wen Zhu and Su Li; if he found out they were gossiping about them, he would have torn them apart.
