Chapter 541: Chapter 545: Who Moved My Body (17)

Don’t mention it, life at the Su Family had become even worse than before.

When Su Xi first obtained her new body, she was both delighted and terrified.

She was still somewhat fearful of her own situation, after all, it was quite eerie.

Being able to cling to the mortal world was naturally a good thing.

When she first became "Su Li," Su Xi even thought that if the original owner of the body came back, she would give the body back.

But such thoughts only existed in her heart for a very short time before she never mentioned them again.

Amidst feelings of guilt and insecurity, she tried her best to steer herself in the direction of a filial daughter.

In reality, Su Xi had long been fed up with these insatiable parents.

Contrarily, Su Xi felt great about the current situation.

The hypocritical veil that had been hiding between them was torn away, and she could outright say no.

Although to outsiders she appeared to be the biological daughter of Su Junjie and Zhuersi, legally there was no rule saying she had to satisfy her parents’ many excessive demands, was there?

She would not refuse the obligation of support, but that was just a matter of giving them hundreds of dollars each month. As for anything else, she wouldn’t give a penny.

Su Xi irrationally placed her anger about being ejected from her own body and suffering greatly onto both members of the Su Family.

Who else could she blame if the offended original owner was no longer present? Her parents had to bear it.

Anyway, if their own daughter didn’t care about them, then what right did she, a Xibei replacement, have to care?

This robust and shameless logic of Su Xi’s was also quite formidable.

Su Junjie and Zhuersi still harbored delusions of returning to their previous life, but as a result...

They were once again driven out of the villa, and the supplementary bank cards that their Xibei daughter had gotten for them were not canceled.

They had only enjoyed the good life for two years before they developed the habit of spending extravagantly. Not a single penny was saved from the good things that had slipped through their fingers.

The money earned by the original owner through part-time work had long been spent as well.

When the Su couple, carrying a small suitcase each, were chased out, they had less than a thousand dollars between them.

That was all they had left.

Su Junjie cursed and fumed, and Zhuersi’s face bore a look of suffering.

But the daughter who once pitied them was no longer there; now, even if they wore their knees out kneeling in front of the replacement, she wouldn’t blink an eye.

Having no other choice, Su Junjie and Zhuersi could only return to their original residence, the small apartment they had lived in for over a decade.

The apartment was dim and damp, and in the long-untended environment, insects crawled everywhere.

"Ah... there are cockroaches..." Zhuersi was so scared she almost fainted.

They hadn’t learned much in two years of good living, but they’d perfected delicate and spoiled bad habits.

Not to mention Zhuersi—even Su Junjie, a grown man, was extremely unaccustomed.

He wrinkled his brow tightly and didn’t even step through the door.

"We’re still that damn girl’s parents, I don’t believe she dares to go too far."

Su Junjie shifted from his previously cautious and pleasing demeanor, his eyes revealing a trace of ruthlessness.

"We’ll go find her again tomorrow. There’s no reason for children to live in luxury while parents have to eat bran and swallow vegetables."

"She might be shameless, but Young Master Cao can’t afford to lose face... we’ll bring the media journalists to the Cao Family Building when the time comes..."

Su Junjie was pushing his limits, he was kowtowing to these juniors, but not for the sake of reliving his past lifestyle.

So they say, better to offend the upright than the petty, you can never tell when such a lowly person will pull a stupid stunt.

In the small apartment, the Su couple was very unwilling to compromise, so Su Junjie turned around and made a call to his nephew.

Over two years, he’d subsidized his nephew quite a bit, and the elder brother and sister-in-law from the Su Family were extremely polite to Su Junjie.

Su Junjie’s nephew was warmly affectionate toward him as well, even more so than his own parents’ meticulous care, let alone compared to Su Junjie and his wife Zhuersi.

When he dialed the number, he did so with total confidence.

Based on their previous close relationship, it wasn’t just a matter of staying for a few nights, even if it were to stay permanently, or for his nephew to support him in his old age, it was all a given.

His nephew’s recently bought house was a hefty investment from him, where the nephew had personally promised there was a room specially prepared for his uncle.

As soon as the call connected, the voice of the Su nephew came eagerly through, the first sentence was, "Uncle, how’s it going, has the company said when they’ll let me come back to work?"

Previously, Su Junjie had pulled some strings with a secretary under Young Master Cao, getting his nephew a position in one of the subsidiary companies of the Cao Family, in a non-demanding job.

Good money, little work, close to home, the nephew of the Su Family was so pleased that he treated his uncle like his own parents.

But, once Young Master Cao got angry, these parasites from the Su and Zhu Families were all stripped from their positions.

They still could work...

But other than desperately bothering Su Junjie and Zhuersi, they had no other recourse.

The company’s HR, even a small team leader, couldn’t care less to deal with them.

These days, due to the bombardment of relatives and friends, Su Junjie was extremely frustrated, and now his favorite nephew was also talking about this same issue, which made him even angrier.

Still, he somehow remembered his intentions and patiently explained the situation to his nephew before stating the purpose of his call.

"Today, your aunt and I were thinking of staying at your place for a few nights, I don’t know if..."

Before Su Junjie could finish, the nephew’s voice on the phone suddenly turned cold, with a slow, sarcastic tone, "Sister Su Li is quite capable, she even bought you a large villa."

"You’ve all been used to spacious houses, how could you get used to my small broken place..."

"Coincidentally, my mother-in-law said she would come to stay here for a bit, maybe next time? When I renovate the house a bit better, I’ll bring you over to stay, Uncle."

Su Junjie’s lips trembled in disbelief, not knowing what to say.

Then the voice on the phone spoke again, "Good renovations, they cost so much... Uncle, could you lend me some more?"

It was framed as a loan, but everyone knew it was as good as given and would never be repaid.

Usually quick to help, Su Junjie stayed silent for a long time, to the apparent displeasure of his nephew.

"Uncle, why hoard so much money, you don’t have a son... after a hundred years, I’ll still have to be the one to flip the basin for you."

With a "snap", the call was hung up, and Su Junjie’s expression was beyond ugly.

Zhuersi’s situation wasn’t much better than Su Junjie’s.

When those from the Zhu Family who had once benefited from her needed help, they either made excuses or mocked her.

"With such a formidable and capable daughter, you still need us small fry..."

At that moment, the Su couple suddenly realized the value of their once good daughter.

At least in times of trouble, she wouldn’t let them be like orphans, pitifully with nowhere to turn for help.
