Su Zhenxing froze for a moment, then immediately roared in anger.

"Su Chen, are you pretending to be crazy again?!"

"What damp room?!"

"Where in the Su Family Villa is there a damp bedroom?!"

Heh, they still thought he was lying?!

Then he would let them experience it for themselves!

Su Chen made a huge leap and landed right in front of Su Zhenxing.

Su Zhenxing's eyes widened in fright. Flailing his arms, he immediately backed away.

Su Zhenxing still remembered the terror of Su Chen stuffing a knife into his hand.

Could Su Chen be unhappy about getting scolded and try that again?!

Unfortunately, Liu Yanran and the children were behind Su Zhenxing, blocking his retreat completely.

Although Su Zhenxing had reacted quickly, his path backward had been cut off.

So Su Chen easily jumped right in front of him.

Su Zhenxing hurriedly stretched out both hands, intending to shove away Su Chen, who had leaped in front of him.

But that was exactly what Su Chen wanted.

Su Chen grabbed Su Zhenxing's arm, turned, and dragged him toward his room.

Caught off guard, Su Zhenxing was pulled into Su Chen's room.

Still holding Su Zhenxing's arm, Su Chen made him touch the wall.

Just as Su Zhenxing came to his senses and was about to shake off Su Chen's hand and curse at him for acting crazy again—

He felt something damp and cold beneath his palm.

"How is it?!"

"Damp? Wet?"

"Isn't it really damp?!"

Su Zhenxing looked down at his hand.

He saw—

His fair hand resting against a wall speckled with tiny green stains.

There were even suspicious droplets of water at the base of the wall directly below his hand.

Su Zhenxing was stunned.

This...

The wall really was damp!

Su Zhenxing swept his gaze around the room, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

In the tiny room, barely four or five square meters in size, all four walls bore suspicious green speckles. There was not even a window.

There was only enough space for a single bed. Even the quilt on the bed looked crumpled, as though it too was damp.

Su Zhenxing personally pressed his hand against the quilt. It really was damp!

Su Zhenxing was furious!

Why was Su Chen living in this damp little room?!

Was the Su Family short of money? Short of rooms?

Why was a child of the Su Family living in such a damp, cramped, unventilated little room?!

At that moment, Liu Yanran and Su Lili, along with the other two siblings, who had been stunned by Su Chen's actions, tried to rush into Su Chen's room as well.

Unfortunately, Su Chen's room could not hold that many people.

Only Liu Yanran and Su Lili managed to enter. Su Qiqi and Su Mu could only stand behind Su Lili at the bedroom door.

Liu Yanran and Su Lili, upon entering Su Chen's bedroom, were stunned as well.

They had never seen such a small room in all their lives.

Even their bathrooms and walk-in closets were bigger than this room.

What was going on?!

This was Su Chen's bedroom?!

Why was Su Chen's bedroom so narrow and damp?!

It did not even have a window?!

Seeing Liu Yanran and Su Lili enter the room as well, Su Chen sneered coldly inside.

Perfect. Let them see for themselves what a damp wall looks like!

Then Su Chen grabbed Liu Yanran's hand with one hand and Su Lili's with the other. He lunged forward and pressed both their hands against the wall.

Still stunned by Su Chen's shabby little bedroom, Liu Yanran and Su Lili were caught off guard and had their hands pressed to the wall by Su Chen.

Just as the two were about to curse at Su Chen, the sensation in their hands left them dumbfounded.

It was wet and clammy!

The wall was actually wet and clammy!

Whose wall was wet and clammy?!

Looking closely, they found suspicious little green spots on the wall.

How disgusting!

The two hurriedly pulled back their hands and repeatedly wiped them on their pajamas as if they had touched something filthy.

Watching their reactions, Su Chen thought, You can't take it already?! You haven't even lived in this room for two years yet!

This was not over yet!

Su Chen continued jumping and shouting loudly.

"How is it?!"

"Isn't it really damp?!"

"Yeah?! Yeah?! Yeah?!"

"My room is this damp, so what's wrong with lighting a fire to dry it out?!"

"Do you really need to make such a huge fuss over it?"

"Who still dares say I was wrong to light a fire?!"

"Come on, come on, come on! Whoever dares say I was wrong to light a fire can live in this room!"

"I'd like to see who can endure it!"

Su Zhenxing watched the farce unfold, watching Su Chen go crazy again.

Su Zhenxing became even angrier.

But this time, he was not angry at Su Chen.

Su Zhenxing believed that if he himself had been stuck in such a tiny, shabby room, he would have gone crazy and caused all kinds of trouble too.

What enraged Su Zhenxing was the person who had arranged for Su Chen to live in this wretched room!

Su Zhenxing flew into a rage and shouted.

"Tao Ma! Where is Tao Ma?! Get over here and explain this to me!"

"What is going on?!"

"How did Su Chen end up living in such a shabby, tiny, damp room?!"

Hearing Su Zhenxing's furious roar, Tao Ma came squeezing in from outside with a miserable expression, explaining as she did.

"Mr. Su, this really isn't my fault!"

"I only acted according to your and Madam Su's instructions."

Su Zhenxing's eyes widened. Tao Ma was becoming more and more unreliable—she was even lying with her eyes open now.

"Bullshit! When did I ever tell you to arrange such a shabby room for Su Chen?!"

"Tao Ma, you've got some nerve. To avoid responsibility, you actually dare shove the blame onto us!"

Liu Yanran frowned as well and said softly.

"Tao Ma, I always thought you were an honest person. Why are you trying to shirk responsibility now?"

"All these years, I trusted you and treated you well for nothing!"

Tao Ma felt deeply wronged. She collapsed onto the floor and wailed.

"Mr. Su, Madam Su, you can't say that!"

"When Young Master Chen had just returned to the Su Family two years ago, I asked Madam Su about it."

"At the time, the Third Floor had already been converted into Mr. Su's study, Madam Su's Yoga Room, the eldest young lady's study, the second young lady's Painting Room, and Young Master Mu's study. There were no spare rooms at all."

"The second floor was for Mr. Su, Madam Su, the young ladies, and Young Master Mu's bedrooms."

"So Madam Su told me to clear out a room on the first floor for Young Master Chen!"

Su Zhenxing turned his sharp gaze toward Liu Yanran.

So Liu Yanran had arranged this?!

Liu Yanran refused to accept the blame. It was not that she could not bear the responsibility; it was simply too embarrassing. If word got out that she had arranged such a shabby room for her biological son, people would think Liu Yanran abused her own son!

"Tao Ma, make yourself clear."

"I told you to clear out a room on the first floor for Su Chen. I never told you to clear out such a shabby little room for him!"

Tao Ma slumped to the floor and howled.

"Madam Su, but there weren't any other rooms on the first floor!"

"At the time, this was the only vacant room on the first floor!"

Su Chen could not be bothered to listen to them argue any longer. They still had so much energy to ramble on here—clearly, the smoke was not strong enough!

Su Chen picked up several damp Rose Branches and gently placed them onto the fire.

With a sizzle.

The flames began attacking the newly added Rose Branches.

Puffs of white smoke rose again, curling and twisting as they drifted everywhere.

Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanran's eyes twitched as they watched, and they began coughing again as though from an instinctive physical reaction.
