Seeing Zhao Wanwan's indifferent expression, Zhao Qi's anger vanished, and his face was filled with a blank expression.
Clearly, Zhao Qi had no idea that his sister, who had always doted on him, would say such a thing.
And judging from Zhao Wanwan's expression, she was clearly not joking.
Zhao Qi finally felt a pang of panic. He called out in a low voice, "Sister..."
But Zhao Wanwan completely ignored him and headed towards Wangyun City with a cold expression.
Zhao Qi finally realized that Zhao Wanwan wasn't joking; she really wanted him to get out of the Su Family.
But... where can I go after leaving the Su Family?
Zhao Qi was filled with panic. His parents had long since died, and besides himself and his two sons, his only remaining sister was in the Su Family.
If he left the Su Family, wouldn't he be all alone?
Although he usually did bad things and had a rather domineering personality, he still had feelings for Zhao Wanwan in his heart, and Zhao Qi always regarded Zhao Wanwan as an older sister.
Zhao Qi pleaded urgently, "Sister, please don't make me leave the Su Family. I was lying before, I was wrong, I'll never scold you again, please let me go."
"I promise I'll behave myself in the Su Family from now on."
Hearing Zhao Qi's pleading, Zhao Wanwan's heart softened slightly.
But then she remembered how Zhao Qi had begged her many times, but he only behaved for a short time before revealing his true colors again.
Finally, Zhao Wanwan took a deep breath and remained silent. She quickened her pace and soon arrived in front of the Enlightenment Stone.
"Father!"
When Zhao Peng and Zhao Ming saw Zhao Qi, it was as if they had seen a savior.
To put it bluntly, the matter of charging at the Enlightenment Stone was entirely done by Zhao Qi at the behest of the two.
Without Zhao Qi's authorization, the two of them certainly wouldn't have dared to do such a thing.
So now they can only hope that Zhao Qi can find a way to quell Su Chen's anger.
Zhao Wanwan glanced at the two of them, snorted coldly, and then walked into the Restaurant.
Fragrant Flower Tower.
A faint fragrance Mi Man the air, mild and not pungent, giving a refreshing feeling.
Fragrant Flower Tower became famous for this reason.
Many powerful individuals enjoy coming here to cultivate their character.
Zhao Wanwan led Zhao Qi into a private Private Room.
Upon seeing Zhao Wanwan, Su Chen stood up and smiled, "Fourth Aunt, what brings you here?"
Zhao Qi glanced at Su Chen, couldn't help but swallow hard, and felt extremely apprehensive.
Although he was arrogant and liked to bully others, he was not stupid.
Someone of Su Chen's caliber is simply not qualified to clash with him.
It's no different from an egg hitting a rock.
Zhao Wanwan looked somewhat helpless. "Xiao Chen, Zhao Qi has caused trouble for the Su Family again."
Su Chen didn't respond, but instead gestured for Zhao Wanwan to sit down.
After a long while, Su Chen slowly said, "Fourth Aunt, you should understand that there are some things in our Su Family that cannot be touched. Zhao Qi has made many mistakes in the past, and you should know that."
"So..."
At this point, Su Chen's meaning was quite clear.
For the sake of family, Zhao Qi can be let off the hook, but he must accept punishment.
Zhao Wanwan has been quite devoted to the Su Family and has a good relationship with Su Yuanba. If someone insists on making things difficult for Zhao Wanwan, it will only put Su Yuanba in a difficult position.
Zhao Qi is just an insignificant nobody; there's no need to lose sight of the bigger picture for such a small matter.
Zhao Wanwan shook her head, looking at Zhao Qi with utter disappointment, and then said calmly:
"I've helped him many times over the years, but Zhao Qi himself has been disappointing and made repeated mistakes. He has only himself to blame for this outcome."
"However... Fourth Aunt wants to ask you for a favor."
Su Chen frowned. "Fourth Aunt, please speak."
He had already guessed that Zhao Wanwan would plead for Zhao Qi, after all, this kind of thing had happened before.
Zhao Wanwan took a deep breath and said in a conciliatory tone, "Don't punish Zhao Qi. Keep him healthy and expel him from the Su Family. From now on, he will have nothing to do with the Su Family or me."
Now, within the Within the Su Family, Su Chen has the power to decide almost anything, and the Direct Line Elder will unconditionally support him.
Therefore, she could only hope that Su Chen would be magnanimous, otherwise Zhao Qi would be in danger.
Um?
Su Chen's eyes showed a look of doubt.
He guessed the first half of the sentence, but he truly didn't guess the second half.
Is this a sign of utter disappointment in Zhao Qi?
Letting Zhao Qi go isn't too hard to accept; at least it removes this cancerous growth.
Now.
Seeing Zhao Wanwan's cold words, Zhao Qi finally realized that this time she was serious.
She truly intended to expel herself from the Su Family and sever all ties with her siblings.
Zhao Qi immediately knelt down, pleading, "Sister, I was wrong, I don't want to leave the Su Family..."
"Alright!"
Zhao Wanwan coldly interrupted, "Stop pretending. It's useless. Do you think I'd fall for that?"
"Your parents died early, and I've spoiled you since you were little, always giving in to your every whim. But I've ended up raising an ungrateful child who doesn't even know basic gratitude."
"I've done more than enough for you."
Zhao Wanwan had experienced many disappointments in the past, but she also knew that Zhao Qi's personality was a result of her spoiling him.
Therefore, Zhao Wanwan felt it was her responsibility to help Zhao Qi and solve his problems.
But Zhao Qi's repeated lack of remorse caused Zhao Wanwan to completely lose patience.
Without her, Zhao Qi would have starved to death long ago; how could he be living such a comfortable life?
Seeing Zhao Wanwan's disappointed expression, Zhao Qi was stunned. His face was blank, and he felt extremely distressed.
Did I really do something wrong?
For some reason, two figures appeared in Zhao Qi's mind: a thin, bony girl leading a little boy as they begged on the street.
Whenever a girl had something delicious, she would give it to the little boy first, while she herself would only eat the leftovers.
There are far too many similar cases.
Before he knew it, Zhao Qi's face was covered in tears, and he collapsed helplessly to the ground.
He never imagined that simply collecting a few Spirit Stone, and not even a large amount, would lead to such serious consequences.
Zhao Qi always thought that even if he were discovered, he would at most accept the Lineage's punishment as usual.
He had never taken the Su Family's rules seriously before, because he always thought Zhao Wanwan could handle anything for him.
But after what happened today, Zhao Qi's feelings began to change.
Su Chen gave Zhao Qi a deep look, then said, "Alright, let's do as Fourth Aunt says."
Zhao Qi quickly snapped out of his daze and immediately said, "I won't leave the Su Family."
Su Chen frowned and looked at Zhao Qi with indifferent eyes.
Is Zhao Qi going to try and bully me again?
But at this moment, Zhao Qi knelt down before Su Chen and spoke again.
"Young Master."
"I will take responsibility for my own actions, and I will accept any Criminal Law from the Lineage, as long as I am not allowed to leave the Su Family."
After speaking, Zhao Qi looked at Zhao Wanwan again, forcing a smile that was more like a grimace:
"Sister, I was wrong. I'm willing to take any responsibility."
"Please don't leave me."
