Lacking Clothes to Wear, Lacking Money to Spend

After returning to the villa, Su Chen ignored the furious, murderous glares from Su Zhenxing and the others and went straight up to the Third Floor with the woven sack on his back.

He needed to lock the treasures he had picked up in his room and store them properly. They were all his treasures, all his money, and he had to send them to the fans in his livestream.

He had to be careful. Otherwise, someone might very well sabotage them.

Su Zhenxing and the others were furious. So many of them had waited for Su Chen for so long. It would have been one thing if they were outside, but now that they were home, Su Chen still had not given them an explanation.

Su Chen had truly become rebellious!

Su Zhenxing and the others followed Su Chen upstairs to the Third Floor and chased him into his bedroom.

As Su Mu entered Su Chen's bedroom, which had once been his study, his eyes briefly filled with intense resentment.

Unfortunately, everyone's attention was on Su Chen right now, and no one noticed Su Mu's emotions.

Su Zhenxing watched as Su Chen fussed over the trash he had picked out of garbage bins without even sparing him a glance.

He flew into a rage.

"Su Chen!"

"You disgraceful thing!"

"Why haven't you thrown away all that garbage you picked up?!"

"Rebellious Son! Rebellious Son!"

"Do you know you've thrown away all the Su Family's dignity?!"

Liu Yanran also frowned at the side and added fuel to the fire.

"Su Chen, you are now a child of the Su Family, the richest family in Hai City!"

"You are no longer that orphan from the orphanage."

"Su Chen, you can't selfishly think only of yourself when you do things anymore."

"You have to consider the reputation of our entire Su Family!"

Su Qiqi looked at Su Chen disdainfully and launched into a tirade as well.

"Su Chen, you've completely disgraced the Su Family!"

"Anyone raised in an orphanage is just embarrassing!"

"You even bring back garbage other people threw away!"

"This is humiliating!"

As she spoke, Su Qiqi waved her hand in front of her nose, her face twisted in disgust.

"It smells awful!"

Su Mu, on the other hand, looked at Su Chen with sympathy.

"Brother, you didn't know that the Su Family's dignity and reputation are more important than anything else, so you did something like this."

"Brother, you should hurry up and throw away the garbage, then apologize to Dad and Mom!"

Su Chen gently put away his treasures before turning to look at these buzzing flies.

How annoying!

Picking up trash was tiring enough! Now he had to swat flies too!

Su Chen first gave Su Qiqi a disdainful look.

"Thieves have no right to speak!"

Su Qiqi flew into a rage and pointed at Su Chen, about to launch into another tirade.

Unfortunately, Su Chen gave her no chance.

He had already turned to Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanran.

As for Su Mu, Su Chen directly chose to ignore him.

"Don't talk to me about dignity and reputation!"

"All I, Su Chen, know is that dignity and reputation are worth shit compared to money!"

"Without money, people die. Without dignity and reputation, you just have no dignity!"

Su Zhenxing's vision went dark from anger at Su Chen's words.

"You bastard!"

"Has the Su Family ever deprived you of food, clothes, or spending money?!"

"The Su Family has given you such excellent material conditions, and you still dare tell me that money is more important than dignity and reputation?!"

Before Su Zhenxing could continue scolding him, Su Chen raised a hand and shouted, cutting him off.

"Yes! Exactly!"

"At the Su Family, I lack clothes to wear and money to spend."

"Otherwise, why would I pick up trash to sell for money?!"

Su Zhenxing's face darkened even further upon hearing Su Chen's words.

What nonsense was Su Chen spouting?!

To evade responsibility for picking up trash and disgracing the Su Family, he had actually started making things up?!

Before Su Zhenxing could say anything, Su Chen pulled out all his clothes and threw them in front of him.

"See that?!"

"These are all the clothes I have in the Su Family."

"Isn't that depriving me of clothes to wear?!"

Su Zhenxing, who had been about to rage and roar, froze as he looked at the clothes thrown before him.

There were—

Two sets of school uniforms, washed until they had faded and frayed, drifting down in front of Su Zhenxing.

There was nothing else.

Su Zhenxing looked at Su Chen in shock and confusion.

"Su Chen, stop joking around!"

"How could you possibly only have these two school uniforms?!"

As he spoke, Su Zhenxing turned hopefully to Liu Yanran, seeking confirmation from her.

"Right, Yanran?!"

"Su Chen can't possibly have only these two school uniforms to wear, can he?!"

Su Zhenxing had never paid much attention to matters at home. After all, Liu Yanran was managing everything.

So after thinking back, he realized that he really had only ever seen Su Chen wearing school uniforms.

But he had assumed Su Chen simply liked wearing them.

Now Su Chen was telling him that he had only two sets of school uniforms to wear in the Su Family. Su Zhenxing instinctively refused to believe it.

Su Zhenxing hoped Liu Yanran would say something to support him.

Unfortunately, Su Zhenxing was destined to be disappointed.

Liu Yanran did not give Su Zhenxing an affirmative answer. Instead, her face was full of embarrassment.

Though Liu Yanran said nothing, Su Zhenxing quickly read the answer from her expression.

Liu Yanran had never bought Su Chen any clothes?!

Su Chen was Liu Yanran's biological son!

Su Zhenxing's eyes widened as he stared at Liu Yanran in utter disbelief.

However, now was not the time to settle accounts with Liu Yanran. He had to suppress Su Chen's momentum first. Otherwise, how could he teach Su Chen a lesson?!

After glaring at Liu Yanran, Su Zhenxing continued to berate Su Chen.

"Su Chen, you're already this old. Can't you buy your own clothes?"

"What is the allowance we give you for? Is it only for eating, drinking, and having fun? Can't you buy yourself some clothes?"

Su Chen sneered.

So he had not heard what Su Chen had just said at all.

"Allowance?! I've never even seen the shadow of an allowance in the Su Family!"

"To be honest, I lived worse in the Su Family than I did in the orphanage!"

"At the orphanage, whenever the seasons changed, the orphanage gave us clothes for the new season. Every month, the government also gave us a few hundred yuan for living expenses."

"But in the Su Family, I had no clothes when I needed clothes, and no money when I needed money!"

"If I'd known, I would have been better off staying at the orphanage!"

"After coming to the Su Family, my standard of living actually went down!"

Su Zhenxing flew into a rage.

What Su Chen meant was that his wealthy Su Family was worse than an orphanage?!

"Su Chen, stop talking nonsense!"

"All the Su Family's children receive an allowance."

"Even your Eldest Sister and Second Sister are already working, yet they still receive an allowance from the family every month!"

"How could you not have one?!"

As he spoke, Su Zhenxing turned angrily to Liu Yanran and demanded.

"Yanran, am I right?!"

"How much allowance does Su Chen receive from the family every month? Tell me!"

"I'd like to see how Su Chen can keep making excuses!"

Liu Yanran's lips moved, but her eyes avoided Su Zhenxing's gaze. Her face alternated between pale and flushed, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

Su Zhenxing was practically going mad. Even the way he looked at Liu Yanran changed.

No way?!

No way?!

Liu Yanran had not only failed to buy Su Chen clothes, but also failed to give him any allowance?!
