When he said the word "friend," Su Ti emphasized his tone.
In an instant, Fei Ge broke out in a cold sweat and waved his hand.
"Bro, big bro, it's a misunderstanding, a pure misunderstanding!"
The same words were spoken for the second time, but this time it was Fei Ge saying them.
"We really didn't do anything, we just took your sister for a drive. We just met recently. If you don't believe me, go ask Dragon Bro!"
"Oh."
Su Ti smiled and walked up to Fei Ge, asking.
"Then where is your Dragon Bro?"
Seeing that smile, Fei Ge instantly remembered the scene he saw last night.
Limbs exploding, bones shattering, flesh flying, one punch directly sent five or six people flying.
If he hadn't been a little further back at the time, he wouldn't be standing here now.
"He's... he's still in the hospital."
Bang.
Su Ti slapped Fei Ge's shoulder with one hand. Fei Ge trembled all over, his face as white as paper.
The few fierce-looking thugs beside him also reflexively started to tremble.
Su Ti put his mouth close to Fei Ge's ear and whispered.
"Tell your Dragon Bro, it's fine for my sister to hang out with you, but if anything happens, no matter what, even if she falls on the road, I will blame him, and all of you."
"At that time, it won't be as simple as going to the hospital."
"Did you hear me clearly?"
"Clearly, clearly!"
Fei Ge shivered and quickly replied.
"Also."
Su Ti walked past Fei Ge and headed straight outside.
"Those two wearing hats, drag them out and beat them."
"Yes, yes!"
Fei Ge came back to his senses. The two wearing hats were looking shocked at this moment. He went up and slapped one of them, slap, and the slapped cheek quickly became red and swollen.
"You dare to have ideas about big brother's sister, beat him!"
Saying that, he dragged the other person by the collar. The other thugs also stepped forward and dragged the other person by the collar, dragging them towards the fire escape amidst screams.
The onlookers exchanged glances, looking shocked. This was too dramatic.
They originally thought it was some kind of "hero saving the beauty" plot, but they didn't expect that the big brother called by the two guys in baseball caps was actually just their subordinate?!
Although this kind of thing was rare, there were already many conflicts in the arcade, so after discussing for a while, people dispersed and went about their business.
Only Su Qiaoqiao remained standing there, sometimes looking at the fire escape where low groans could still be heard, and sometimes looking at the direction Su Ti had left, her eyes shocked and at a loss.
The afternoon quickly passed. In the evening, after Su Zihao's family had dinner at the Su family's house, they left together at eight o'clock.
In the car, Su Zihao sat in the passenger seat, hiccuping from alcohol, mumbling in his sleep.
He and Su Zimo had a drinking contest in the afternoon, and both of them had drunk a bit too much.
The driver was driving, and Su Qiaoqiao and Su Yuwei were sitting in the back.
Su Qiaoqiao was silent the whole way. Su Yuwei hung up a company call and suddenly noticed this.
"Why aren't you talking? You've been unhappy ever since you came out of the arcade this afternoon."
"It's nothing."
Su Qiaoqiao replied sullenly, shrinking into the corner and looking out the window.
"If something's wrong, just say it. Dad is already asleep. What's on your mind that you can't tell your sister?"
An older sister is like a mother. After their mother died and their father was rarely home, Su Qiaoqiao was practically raised by her. There was nothing she could hide from her.
After being silent for a long time, Su Qiaoqiao finally told Su Yuwei about what happened at the arcade in the afternoon.
Su Yuwei was stunned after listening, then burst into laughter.
"What's there to hide? This is a good thing. It shows that your cousin still cares about you and takes good care of you, otherwise he wouldn't have taught those two guys in baseball caps a lesson."
"However, you really need to be careful about your social circle. It's fine if you like to have fun, and the family has money to support you, but you should avoid contact with those obvious scumbags."
"Oh, I'm not talking about that!"
"Then what are you talking about?"
"I... I was so embarrassed today."
Su Qiaoqiao said in a low voice.
"I thought he was terrible at games, just a silly, dull bookworm, but, but..."
"But you were proven wrong. Not only is he great at games, he's also the big brother of your group of friends. He was going to teach a lesson to someone who had bad intentions towards you, and you were still thinking of helping him out."
Su Yuwei said with a smile.
Su Qiaoqiao hummed and nodded slightly.
Her face was still a little hot; it was too embarrassing, truly too embarrassing.
After what happened this afternoon, she had been avoiding Su Ti, not even daring to look at him.
She still owed him three dog barks.
Su Yuwei burst into laughter.
"You're not comforting me, you're laughing!"
"Oh, you, you... it's time you broadened your horizons."
Su Yuwei rubbed Su Qiaoqiao's head.
"Hanging out with those lowlifes and spending time in arcades has no future. The sky you see is too small, too narrow. Take your few hooligan friends, for example. You might feel they're cool and popular, but how do they look in front of your Su Ti brother?"
Su Qiaoqiao's face turned pale. Su Yuwei had hit a nerve.
"In this society, people are divided into different classes. Your friends, in the end, are just small fry who fight, cause trouble, and take the blame for others for a few thousand, or tens of thousands of yuan. They aren't even fit to carry the shoes of truly important people."
Su Yuwei's tone was calm when she said this, but the confident and composed aura she exuded fascinated and inspired Su Qiaoqiao.
"Of course, I'm not saying your Su Ti brother is that kind of person. His uncle's family has a lot of integrity, and I respect them very much. In today's society, relatives like them are rare, very rare..."
As if remembering something, a hint of gloom appeared in Su Yuwei's eyes.
This hint of gloom didn't linger for long. It disappeared before Su Qiaoqiao could notice, and then Su Yuwei said,
"However, my respect for them doesn't mean there's no gap in our status."
"Take your Su Ti brother, for example. You might think it's impressive that he has a subordinate like Fei Ge, and it even startled you. But what you don't know is that Li Shifu, who drives for us, can beat a dozen of those hooligans if he gets serious."
Hearing this, Li Shifu, who was driving late at night wearing sunglasses, nodded slightly and said,
"The young lady is right. Those little hooligans are nothing in front of the real Ancient Martial Arts of the inner world."
Su Qiaoqiao was shocked. She had never known that their driver was so powerful.
Su Yuwei smiled and stroked Su Qiaoqiao's head.
"So don't be surprised by your Su Ti brother's matters anymore, because you are already at a higher level than your Su Ti brother, you just haven't realized it yet."
At this point, Su Yuwei's expression became serious. Su Qiaoqiao had been playing around for so long, it was time for her to settle down.
"Qiaoqiao, many people don't have the chance to choose what kind of person they become, but you do."
"Are you willing to spend your whole life wallowing in the mud, interacting and dealing with people at the lowest level, or are you willing to raise your head and experience the true upper class?"
If it were before, Su Qiaoqiao would definitely have scoffed at Su Yuwei's words.
But after experiencing what happened today, she suddenly felt that the world below no longer held any attraction for her.
Instead, the world above began to make her yearn for it.
Su Ti, wearing clothes that Su's Mother had changed to the right size for him, held some milk and fruit that Su Zihao had brought yesterday in one hand and gently pressed the doorbell in front of him.
The door in front of him was a very high-end electronic security door. Su Ti remembered that this kind of door alone cost tens of thousands.
After a while, the door opened, but the person who appeared was not Xu Jun, but a thin, slightly white-haired, but overall still very energetic middle-aged man.
He was about fifty years old, and his face was five parts similar to Xu Jun's. It was clear he had been a handsome man when he was young.
"Uncle, hello, I'm Director Xu's..."
"Come in."
Before Su Ti could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by the other party. Then the man stood at the door, staring at Su Ti with an up-and-down gaze, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
Su Ti was a little strange. He had already greeted Xu Jun when he came today, and she said her father was also very welcoming. Why was he making this expression?
But after entering the door, Su Ti knew why.
Xu Jun was sitting shyly on the sofa wearing a white dress, with light makeup on her face. Logically, it should have been a beautiful scene, but it gave off a... very creepy feeling.
The overly long false eyelashes, the overly thick foundation, and the overly heavy lip gloss, instead of enhancing her appearance, had the opposite effect. Coupled with the obviously too plain white dress, if the lights were turned off and she appeared in the hallway, people would definitely think they had seen a ghost.
Su Ti was instantly shocked, scared out of his wits.
"Brother Xu, are you crazy?"
"Huh? Ah?"
Xu Jun blinked, looking innocent.
Could it be that her outfit today wasn't enough to completely captivate him?
Although it was her first time wearing makeup and a dress today, she felt that her makeup and outfit should be fine.
If she dressed like this, Su Ti wouldn't still treat her like a buddy, right?
Xu's Father walked in with a headache, covering his forehead and saying,
"I'm sorry, you must be laughing at me. My daughter lost her mother when she was young, and I raised her myself. She's lacking in some areas. Xu Jun, hurry up and change your clothes."
"Okay."
Seeing Su Ti's expression, Xu Jun also realized that the outfit she had prepared might have had the opposite effect. She quickly stood up and jogged into the room.
After Xu Jun left, Xu Shouyang looked at Su Ti in front of him and sighed inexplicably, but finally extended his hand and said,
"I am Xu Shouyang."
Su Ti put down the fruit and milk, reached out and shook his hand, thinking to himself that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere before; it sounded familiar.
With his extraordinary intelligence, he quickly remembered.
"You are the specially appointed archaeology professor at our Mingguang University! Professor Xu Shouyang!"
There were many professors at Mingguang University, but there were currently only three people with the honorary title of specially appointed professor.
"That would be me."
Xu Shouyang pressed his hand down, motioning for Su Ti to sit, and then said,
"I heard from Xiao Jun that she has an excellent student who is very interested in antiques and wanted to visit my home. That would be you, I presume."
"Sorry, Professor, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Su Ti, a freshman at Mingguang University, majoring in history. I've long admired your reputation."
It was a bit presumptuous to come to his door to see antiques, so Su Ti kept a low profile.
"Well, it's a good thing for young people to be curious and eager to learn. I support that, but..."
Xu Shouyang drew out his words and looked towards Xu Jun's room, saying meaningfully,
"But some things still need to be done with discretion. You and our Xu Jun..."
"Professor Xu, I swear to God, if I have any thoughts about Brother Xu, may I be struck by five bolts of lightning!"
Xu Shouyang choked when he heard this. Although this was indeed what he wanted to hear, didn't it make his daughter seem unwanted?!
