Just as Su Chen was happily picking through trash, Su Zhenxing, who was handling company documents, received a call.
Su Zhenxing looked at the caller ID and did not really want to answer.
The person calling Su Zhenxing was also one of Hai City's wealthy elites, named Chen Guang. However, he and Su Zhenxing had never gotten along. Whenever they met, they either traded barbs or mocked each other.
Su Zhenxing simply pressed the decline button and refused to answer.
Just as Su Zhenxing was about to continue working, the phone rang again. It was still Chen Guang.
Isn't he annoying? I'm not answering!
Su Zhenxing immediately pressed decline again.
But Chen Guang on the other end was patient and called once more.
Su Zhenxing frowned helplessly.
It seemed that if he did not answer, Chen Guang would not give up.
And he could not turn off his phone either. What if he missed something important?!
Left with no choice, Su Zhenxing answered the call.
The moment Su Zhenxing put the phone to his ear, a burst of arrogant, grating laughter came from the other end.
"Ha ha, ha ha..."
"I'm dying of laughter!"
"Su Zhenxing, Su Zhenxing, I never thought that in my lifetime, I'd get to see you make such a joke of yourself!"
"And such a ridiculous joke at that!"
"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha! Su Zhenxing, you're killing me!"
Su Zhenxing was helpless and said impatiently,
"Chen Guang, are you sick?!"
"Did you call me just to go crazy?"
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm hanging up!"
Chen Guang suppressed his laughter and asked doubtfully,
"No way, Su Zhenxing. You don't know yet?"
"Your Su Family is Trending!"
Su Zhenxing frowned and thought about it. They had not increased their publicity budget lately, so why were they Trending?!
"Ha ha, ha ha ha."
"Su Zhenxing, so you really don't know!"
"Ha ha, ha ha ha."
"Su Zhenxing, hurry up and check Trending!"
"The richest man's son picking through trash!"
"Ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous."
"No, I need to go laugh for a while. I'm done talking to you!"
Su Zhenxing stared at the call Chen Guang had ended, his heart instantly filled with doubt.
What did he mean, the richest man's son picking through trash?!
What the hell was that?!
Then Su Zhenxing recalled Su Chen's strange behavior yesterday, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
Su Zhenxing hurriedly opened a webpage on his computer and searched for "the richest man's son picking through trash."
Several Trending topics immediately popped up.
The richest man's son picking through trash.
The richest man's son had actually been abducted by human traffickers.
The richest man's son picked through trash to sell for money.
Being abducted by human traffickers... wasn't that exactly what Su Chen had gone through?
The unease in Su Zhenxing's heart grew stronger.
Uneasily, Su Zhenxing clicked on one of the Trending topics.
The richest man's son picking through trash.
The webpage opened.
The first thing Su Zhenxing saw was an image.
Someone was smiling brightly as he rummaged through a trash can.
Su Zhenxing's heart sank.
That person was Su Chen!
And the background of the image was clearly the villa Residential Area where his home was located!
Su Zhenxing flew into a rage!
Yesterday, Su Chen had gone crazy with all sorts of excuses, and Su Zhenxing had not even held it against him!
So why had Su Chen started going crazy again today?!
And he was not even going crazy at home!
He had taken his madness outside the house!
How embarrassing!
Absolutely humiliating!
Su Zhenxing's face burned red with shame.
Su Zhenxing had neither the time nor the mood to look through the other Trending topics.
He did not need to think to know that they were all about Su Chen crazily picking through trash.
Su Zhenxing no longer had any mood to work.
Su Zhenxing grabbed his phone and car keys, got into his car, and immediately drove home.
As soon as he entered the living room of Su Family Villa, Su Zhenxing saw Liu Yanran, Su Qiqi, and Su Mu chatting and laughing together.
What a picture of family happiness!
The sight made Su Zhenxing feel stifled!
What exactly did Liu Yanran do all day at home?!
Su Chen had done something so humiliating, yet Liu Yanran was sitting here as if nothing had happened?!
Su Zhenxing roared, shattering the warm family scene.
"Liu Yanran, where is Su Chen?"
"Where is Su Chen? Why aren't you keeping an eye on him?!"
Liu Yanran and the other two jolted in fright at Su Zhenxing's furious shout.
Su Qiqi and Su Mu looked at the enraged Su Zhenxing, having no idea what had happened. Neither dared to speak.
But Liu Yanran was different.
Liu Yanran frowned in displeasure.
"Su Zhenxing, what are you going crazy for?!"
"You just got home and you're already shouting like this. What kind of behavior is that?!"
Su Zhenxing laughed in anger.
"You still have time to care why I'm shouting?!"
"I'm asking you, where is Su Chen?!"
"I'm asking you, do you know what Su Chen is doing?"
Liu Yanran frowned.
Why was it Su Chen again?
When Su Chen had gone missing as a child, it had caused the Su Family elders to blame her!
When Su Chen returned to the Su Family as an adult, his unsophisticated manner had embarrassed her!
Yesterday, Su Chen's crazed behavior had made it seem as if she had treated him terribly!
It was not her fault that she did not like Su Chen!
Whenever Su Chen was involved, nothing good ever happened to her!
And now, Su Zhenxing was shouting at her over Su Chen again!
Liu Yanran had truly had enough.
"Su Chen?!"
"Who knows where Su Chen is?!"
"He's a grown man. Does someone have to watch him every day?!"
"But when Su Chen went out this morning, he shouted something about going to make money."
"He's a high school student. What money could he possibly make?! He's probably moving things or cleaning for someone or something!"
"Su Zhenxing, let me tell you, if Su Chen really went and did those lowly jobs to make money, then when people laugh at us, you'd better teach Su Chen a proper lesson!"
"Let him understand that he, Su Chen, is now the son of Hai City's richest Su Family. Everything he does has to consider the Su Family's reputation!"
Su Qiqi also chimed in from the side.
"That's right, Dad. If Su Chen really went to do the kind of work only servants do for others, I won't even want to acknowledge him as my brother. It's far too embarrassing!"
Su Mu, on the other hand, spoke up for Su Chen.
"Dad, Brother probably just doesn't understand the rules and ways of our Su Family, the richest family in Hai City. That's why he went to do work meant for servants. Dad, don't blame Brother. Just explain it to him properly, and he'll understand."
Though those kind words did not sound very kind.
Seeing Liu Yanran's indifferent attitude only made Su Zhenxing angrier.
"It is embarrassing!"
"It's utterly humiliating!"
"But it's not just Su Chen who has been embarrassed!"
"It's our entire Su Family!"
"Liu Yanran, take a good look at what Su Chen went and did!"
As he spoke, Su Zhenxing tossed the phone displaying the Trending topic "The Richest Man's Son Picking Through Trash" onto the sofa in front of Liu Yanran.
Liu Yanran became angry as well.
However, since she still did not know what Su Chen had done to make Su Zhenxing so furious, she temporarily suppressed her temper.
Holding back her anger, Liu Yanran picked up the phone Su Zhenxing had thrown over.
She wanted to see exactly what good deed Su Chen had done this time!
Liu Yanran focused her eyes on the screen.
In an instant.
She froze.
