Get Used to the Smoke, and You'll Get Used to It

Su Chen not only heard Su Zhenxing's angry roar, but also Tao Ma tattling on him.

However, Su Chen continued poking at the burning rose branches.

Of course, he paid even less attention to Su Zhenxing's order to go before him and listen to his scolding.

Su Chen even felt that the smoke was not thick enough, so he added two more damp, dirt-covered rose branches to the fire.

The moment the damp rose branches embraced the flames, they could not hold back and released a great deal of white smoke, which curled and drifted outside to join the smoke filling the villa.

Think it's choking you?!

It's fine. Choke on it a little more, and you'll get used to it!

After a while, Su Zhenxing saw that Su Chen had not come over to explain himself and became furious. He shouted again.

"Where is Su Chen? Get your ass over here!"

"Do you think hiding will make this go away?!"

"Su Chen, get your ass over here right now, and I might still forgive you. On the other hand, the more you hide, the less I'll forgive you!"

Su Zhenxing's voice boomed like spring thunder, echoing throughout the Su Family Villa and making the ears of the Su family members standing beside him ache.

But the awkward thing was...

After a while.

Su Chen still did not come over.

Su Zhenxing's face burned fiercely.

This Rebellious Son!

He was slapping him in the face—openly slapping his face!

Su Zhenxing grew even angrier.

He turned and barked at Tao Ma.

"Where is Su Chen?"

"Tao Ma, take me to him!"

"I want to see just what Su Chen is up to!"

Tao Ma had been so shocked that she had forgotten to sob.

Over the past two years, Tao Ma had personally watched Young Master Chen obey Mr. Su's every word in order to win his favor.

If Mr. Su said east, Young Master Chen would never dare say west. If Mr. Su said west, Young Master Chen would never dare say east.

So why was Young Master Chen ignoring Mr. Su's words today?!

What was more, Mr. Su was so furious, and his voice was so loud!

Young Master Chen must have heard Mr. Su's angry roar.

Mr. Su had called for Young Master Chen twice in a row, yet Young Master Chen had ignored him completely!

What was going on?!

Was Young Master Chen not afraid that Mr. Su would dislike him even more?

Hearing Su Zhenxing's order, the shocked Tao Ma hurriedly led him toward Young Master Chen's bedroom.

The rest of the Su family followed behind Su Zhenxing as well.

The closer they got to Su Chen's bedroom, the more astonished the Su family became.

They could not believe what they were seeing!

Su Chen was actually burning a fire inside the room!

A large amount of white smoke drifted out from the fire before Su Chen, spreading everywhere.

The Su family finally understood why there was so much smoke in the villa.

It really had been caused by Su Chen!

The Su family was furious!

Su Chen had done it on purpose!

Because they had not sent his Second Sister, Su Qiqi, to prison, he was dissatisfied and had deliberately started a fire to create a huge amount of smoke, harming every member of the Su family except himself!

After all, just look—Su Chen was even wearing a mask. Clearly, the smoke could not choke him.

That proved Su Chen had planned this in advance. He had done it deliberately—absolutely deliberately.

Su Zhenxing trembled with rage and pointed at Su Chen as he cursed.

"Su Chen, you Rebellious Son!"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"We've already decided not to hold it against you for calling the police and airing the family's dirty laundry in public."

"And you're still not satisfied!"

"You actually deliberately lit a fire and made all this smoke to harm us!"

"Su Chen, you Rebellious Son, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

"What do you want before you'll be satisfied? Before you'll finally stop!"

Su Qiqi, standing at the very back, muttered softly.

"I'm not letting it go at all!"

Su Zhenxing shot Su Qiqi a sharp look, and she immediately shut up.

Liu Yanran also frowned as she looked at Su Chen disapprovingly.

"Su Chen, Mom has always thought you were a sensible child!"

"So what's gotten into you today? Why are you being so unreasonable!"

"First, you called the police to the house to arrest your Second Sister."

"And now you're playing with fire in the house, filling it with smoke and nearly choking us all to death."

"Su Chen, can't you be a little more sensible!"

Hearing Liu Yanran's words, Su Chen lifted his eyes and glanced at her.

This woman was a master manipulator.

The reason Su Chen had been so obedient, so cowardly, and so unable to fight for himself in his previous life was that Liu Yanran had constantly used "being sensible" to suppress him, forcing him into becoming someone timid and submissive, someone who did not dare resist.

In the end, Su Chen had died depressed and miserable in his previous life, and Liu Yanran had been directly responsible for it.

In this life, Su Chen had long seen through Liu Yanran's tricks. Naturally, there was no way he would let her manipulate him again.

Su Lili also put on a stern expression and scolded Su Chen.

"That's right, Su Chen. How can you be this, this unreasonable!"

"You're not the only one living in the Su Family Villa. Our whole family lives here."

"When you do things, you can't selfishly think only about yourself!"

Su Mu, however, began defending Su Chen.

"Brother definitely didn't do it on purpose."

"Brother surely didn't expect the fire to produce so much smoke and choke us."

"But Brother definitely knows how harmful the smoke is now."

"Brother, you wouldn't bear to see us suffer. You'll definitely put out the fire, right?!"

Those words really would have been better left unsaid.

Sure enough, Su Zhenxing became even angrier.

"How could he not know the smoke would choke us!"

"He clearly knew! He even brought himself a mask!"

"Su Chen, put out the fire right now!"

"Otherwise, I won't let you off!"

No matter how the Su family shouted angrily and tried to persuade Su Chen to put out the fire, Su Chen remained unmoved.

Only after everyone in the Su family had finally finished speaking

did Su Chen slowly add another rose branch to the fire and say leisurely, "Put out the fire?!"

"Impossible!"

"This fire can't be put out!"

As he watched Su Chen add another branch, it crackled, and a large amount of smoke immediately rose up.

Su Zhenxing's eye twitched uncontrollably.

Su Zhenxing still remembered how Su Chen had placed the knife in his hand earlier, so he did not dare step forward to put out the fire himself.

He could only sternly berate Su Chen.

"Why can't it be put out?!"

"Su Chen, look at us. We've been choked half to death by this smoke."

"Why are you still refusing to put out the fire?!"

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

As Su Chen continued poking at the fire, making it burn even hotter, he replied without even raising his head.

"Of course it can't be put out."

"My room is so damp it's uninhabitable."

"Why can't I light a fire to warm up the house?!"

"As for you lot."

Su Chen looked up at the bedraggled members of the Su Family.

Still in their pajamas, their eyes were red, tears glimmered within them, tear tracks remained on their faces, and they occasionally covered their mouths to cough.

Su Chen smiled.

"It's fine."

"You'll get used to it after a while."

"Once you're used to it, it won't feel so bad anymore."
