Before long, everyone in the Su Family had suffered minor injuries from Su Chen's constant flailing of his arms and legs.
Su Zhenxing's face had been scratched open by Su Chen's fingernails.
Liu Yanran's hair, which had originally been as exquisite and beautiful as that of a classical lady, had been yanked into a mess by Su Chen. There was even a strand of hair beneath Su Chen's feet, seemingly torn out by him.
Su Lili occasionally frowned in pain as she looked at her wrist, where Su Chen's kick had left a bruise.
Su Mu had to hop on one foot from time to time, because Su Chen had stomped on him hard just now. Su Mu suspected that his foot had already swollen.
Su Zhenxing could no longer endure it and shouted.
"Enough, Su Chen!"
"Have you gone crazy long enough?!"
"Calm down right now!"
Enough?!
Of course it wasn't enough!
Heh. Su Chen sneered inwardly. You can't take it already? What is this little pain compared to the agony of being framed by you people as a thief in my previous life?
But Su Qiqi had hidden in the bathroom now, and he had actually failed to hit her. What a miscalculation.
No. He could not let Su Qiqi off.
Moreover, Su Chen remembered that in his previous life, Su Qiqi had said that because there had been too little time during this attempt to frame him, she had not managed to move Su Zhenxing's watch elsewhere. She had kept it in the pocket of her skirt the entire time.
No, he had to make Su Qiqi come out.
In this life, Su Chen would not only remove the label of "thief" from himself—he would put that label on Su Qiqi as well.
Su Chen's arms and legs flailed with even greater force and speed as he continued roaring loudly.
"Not enough!"
"Su Qiqi framed me, and none of you scolded her!"
"I feel terrible!"
"Make Su Qiqi apologize to me!"
"Make Su Qiqi come out! She framed me, so she has to apologize to me!"
Su Zhenxing struggled to dodge Su Chen's wildly swinging arms, which were now moving with greater range and force. His face had darkened like the bottom of a pot.
Su Zhenxing truly could not take it anymore!
Forget it. Let Qiqi apologize to Su Chen!
As long as that rebellious son stopped going crazy, that would be enough.
Besides, Qiqi was not the only one who had accused Su Chen of stealing the watch without any evidence. He had said it too.
What if that rebellious son remembered and treated him the same way he had treated Su Qiqi?!
At the thought of that terrifying scene, Su Zhenxing shuddered all over.
Su Zhenxing exchanged a look with Liu Yanran. Without a word, Liu Yanran understood what he meant and nodded.
Because Liu Yanran had thought of the same thing as Su Zhenxing. She did not want Su Chen grabbing her shoulders and shaking her around either.
In that case, making Qiqi apologize to Su Chen was naturally the better deal.
While struggling to restrain Su Chen's arms, Su Zhenxing shouted, "Su Chen, calm down, and I'll have your Second Sister come out and apologize to you!"
Why did he have to shout? Because amid Su Chen's crazed yelling, Su Chen probably would not have heard him otherwise.
The moment had come!
Su Chen temporarily stopped struggling with his arms and legs and looked suspiciously at Su Zhenxing.
"Really?!"
"If I stand right here without moving, you'll call Su Qiqi out and make her apologize to me?!"
Seeing that there was hope, Su Zhenxing hurriedly said, "Yes, yes. As long as you stop going crazy, I'll have your Second Sister come out and apologize to you."
Liu Yanran also tried her best to maintain her gentle image and said softly from the side, "That's right, Su Chen. I promise that as long as you stop going crazy, we'll have Qiqi apologize to you."
Liu Yanran's gentle voice, paired with her disheveled hair, looked rather ridiculous.
Su Chen immediately stopped flailing and planted his feet firmly on the floor.
"Fine, I won't move around anymore. Call Su Qiqi out and have her apologize to me."
Seeing how easily Su Chen's madness had been stopped, the Su Family members were overjoyed and hurriedly called for Su Qiqi to come out and apologize to him.
Unfortunately, they did not know that Su Chen was thinking, If apologies were useful, what would the police be for?
Today, Su Chen was determined to make Su Qiqi wear the label of "thief" so tightly that it fit perfectly.
Facing the Su Family's betrayal, Su Qiqi cried endlessly in the bathroom and shouted.
"No, I'm not going out!"
"I did nothing wrong! Why should I apologize to that trash Su Chen?!"
"I won't apologize! I won't go out!"
Su Zhenxing's face darkened again. He had finally gotten Su Chen to stop going crazy, so why did Su Qiqi have so little sense of the bigger picture?!
She only had to apologize to Su Chen and say sorry. It would not cost her a piece of flesh, so what was there to be unwilling about?
Su Zhenxing gave Liu Yanran a look, signaling for her to handle Su Qiqi.
Liu Yanran smiled, walked to the bathroom door, and said to Su Qiqi inside, "Qiqi, you were the one who accused Su Chen of stealing the watch without evidence. It's only right for you to say sorry to him."
Su Qiqi felt even more wronged.
It was already outrageous enough that Dad had switched sides and helped Su Chen deal with her.
And now even Mom had switched sides and was making her apologize to Su Chen?!
Su Qiqi cried even harder and shouted, "I won't apologize! I won't!"
Liu Yanran smiled faintly and spoke the cruelest words possible to Su Qiqi through the door in a very gentle tone.
"Qiqi, you're being naughty."
"Naughty children aren't qualified to receive the family's allowance."
That was right. Although Su Qiqi was already an adult and worked as a painter, she could not even support herself and still received an allowance of one hundred thousand yuan from the family every month.
Even Su Lili received an allowance of one hundred thousand yuan every month. Although Su Mu was still in school, he also received fifty thousand yuan a month.
Only Su Chen had no allowance.
Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanran's original explanation was that they feared Su Chen, who had grown up poor in an orphanage, would spend money recklessly if given any.
Thinking of this, Su Chen could not help finding it utterly laughable.
He was clearly also a child of the Su Family, and even the biological son of Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanran, yet he was treated so differently?!
Su Chen of his previous life could endure it, but the Su Chen of this life could not.
No one living in this world should have to suffer such grievances.
Still, matters had to be handled one at a time. He would first put the label of thief on Su Qiqi before discussing anything else.
Su Chen stood there silently, silently listening to the conversation between Liu Yanran and Su Qiqi, so calm that it was as though the person who had gone crazy earlier had not been him.
Upon hearing Mom Liu Yanran's words, Su Qiqi cried even louder in the bathroom.
Mom was even more ruthless. For Su Chen's sake, she actually wanted to cut off her allowance.
It was not as if Mom did not know how important that allowance was to her, yet she was using it to threaten her into apologizing to Su Chen!
Fine, she would apologize!
What was the big deal?!
Su Qiqi angrily wiped the tears from her face.
Su Chen actually dared to make her apologize to him. He actually dared to humiliate her like this.
She definitely would not let Su Chen go!
If she could not frame Su Chen today, then next time she would find an even better opportunity to frame him!
Having silently made up her mind, Su Qiqi wiped away the tears on her face, opened the bathroom door, and walked out.
