Chapter 606: Chapter 610: Scandalous Queen (11)

Su Li returned home with a trove of spoils, and everyone was delighted to receive gifts.

Mr. Su and Mom Su were even more concerned about their daughter’s psychological well-being.

However, upon seeing Su Li brimming with primordial Qi, they immediately let go of the worry that had been hanging over them.

Going on a trip was quite enjoyable, the only drawback was the fatigue.

Su Li’s current body, though nourished by spiritual energy since she had possessed it, and its constitution had improved a lot, she hadn’t specifically refined it. So her physical condition was only slightly better than that of an average person and not exceptionally so.

As a result, after the long travel, Su Li couldn’t help but feel a bit weary.

She lay at home for three whole days before she finally felt rejuvenated.

But unbeknownst to her, as she shut herself away at home for those three days, the outside world had already changed because of her.

Mr. Su and his wife also spent these three days revolving around their daughter, unaware of what was happening outside.

It wasn’t until a relative from the Su Family called that Mr. Su became aware.

When Su Li’s paternal uncle called, Mr. Su was in the kitchen busily preparing a table of dishes that his daughter loved, just like Mrs. Su.

When he received the call, Mr. Su was quite surprised. This cousin of his seldom contacted him, only reaching out when he wanted to borrow money or needed help.

Mr. Su was very reluctant to hear his voice.

He thought it was the same old story, with his good-for-nothing cousin coming to ask for help again.

His phone rang several times without Mr. Su answering.

But the person on the other side wouldn’t give up, determined not to hang up until the call was taken.

Finally, Mrs. Su couldn’t stand it anymore and elbowed her husband, "Why aren’t you answering the phone? If you don’t pick up soon, that kid might come knocking at our door."

And indeed, that kid had done such a thing before.

The Su couple always felt obliged to be kinder than necessary because they were relatives. Moreover, that kid’s parents had been pretty good to Mr. Su when he was young.

And since those two elderly people were still alive, out of respect for them, Mr. Su found it hard to harden his heart against his unworthy relative.

Pondering over this, and considering his daughter was at home and what inappropriate nonsense the kid might say if he saw her, potentially offending her, Mr. Su finally pressed the answer button on his phone with great reluctance.

As soon as the call connected, the slick voice of a man rang in his ear through the wireless signal.

The moment he spoke, his tone seemed tinged with schadenfreude.

"Big brother, you haven’t been out recently, have you, nor watched the news?"

Mr. Su braced himself for the request he expected the other party to make, but his cousin threw out a completely unrelated remark instead.

Although Mr. Su had always known that his incompetent brother harbored a lot of resentment toward him, feeling his unabashed triumph, as if he delighted in seeing Mr. Su fall from grace into the mud, instantly soured his mood. He said with suppressed irritation, "If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."

"No, no..." The person on the other side of the phone sounded urgent, quickly adding, "I haven’t finished talking yet."

"Brother, I know you don’t like me, but I didn’t think you’d dislike me so much. If our parents knew, they’d be so sad..."

The same old reasoning, Mr. Su hardly knew how many times his cousin had used that excuse, increasingly testing his patience.

Sensing this, the slick talker on the phone hurried to reveal the reason for his call.

As he remembered the news, his voice took on a strange glee.

"You might not know, big brother, but your niece is in a relationship."

Not only Mr. Su but also Mrs. Su who had been eavesdropping felt a shock in their hearts.

Coming from their no-account cousin, this matter seemed complicated.

As Mr. Su listened, he signaled to his wife to look up the latest news.

"Brother, you don’t know, but your little niece is so impressive. Quietly and without a fuss, she bagged a king of superstars."

"Brother, you’re about to have a big star as your son-in-law..."

Mr. Su instinctively retorted, "Impossible, I would know if my own daughter had a boyfriend."

The person on the phone wasn’t happy either, "What’s so impossible about it? The entertainment news reported it, they saw the two holding hands and being intimate on a trip abroad."

Mr. Su’s heart sank, and he hung up the phone with a "snap."

At the same time, Mrs. Su also found the entertainment headline on her phone.

A not-so-clear photo appeared on the entire screen of her phone.

Mr. Su saw it too and recognized at a glance that the person in the photo was indeed his daughter Su Li.

For parents obsessed with their daughter, no blur in the photo could prevent them from recognizing their child at a glance, let alone a picture where the face was slightly pixelated but still discernible.

Even just a side profile was enough for those familiar with Su Li to identify her.

Moreover, Su Li was strikingly beautiful, which only increased her recognizability.

The man beside her was stared at by Mr. Su with a ferocious gaze for several seconds.

Many people recognized this man, and even Mr. and Mrs. Su found him somewhat familiar.

Reading the news report, just the title of a king of superstars was enough to spark a lot of discussions.

Not to mention, the lovestruck man also had a girlfriend whose status was no less than his, a queen of her domain.

This made it all the more sensational...

Especially since this nationally known couple had recently been openly flaunting their love on screen, and in just a short time, a change of heart?

For several days, the headlines in the entertainment circle revolved around this matter.

After just a few days of fermenting, Lang Erping had become synonymous with scumbag.

And the queen, Qin Qing, had gained a horde of fans and the sympathy of the public.

On the third day, tabloids released photos of Lang Erping and Qin Qing moving in silence and Qin Qing’s lonely, haggard figure out on the streets, pushing the event to its peak.

#HeartbrokenForQinQing

#DontCryQinQing

Topics like these were pushed to the forefront.

Lang Erping had become a public target for castigation.

Before Lang Erping and Qin Qing’s popularity waned, and their company hadn’t yet given up on them, they used the couple’s visibility to generate quite a bit of publicity.

As much as the fans had once savored the couple’s pairing, they now felt equally repulsed and disgusted.

It was like discovering that what they had once hailed as delicious was actually nothing but dirt...
