Su Chen stopped smashing the walls and dining room with the stool. Instead, he held it in his hand and glared viciously at Su Mu and Su Qiqi.

Then he smiled faintly.

Su Mu and Su Qiqi had been delighted to see Su Chen going so crazy. They thought, This time, Dad has to beat Su Chen up, right?!

Su Chen has to suffer a little this time, right?!

As they waited to watch their dad, Su Zhenxing, teach Su Chen a lesson, Su Mu and Su Qiqi did not even have time to wash the food scraps from their faces and bodies. Enduring the sticky, greasy discomfort, they remained in the dining room to watch Su Chen get disciplined by their dad.

Yet neither Su Mu nor Su Qiqi had expected this.

Dad, Su Zhenxing, did not discipline Su Chen?!

Even after Su Chen yanked away the stool beneath him and made him fall to the floor, Dad, Su Zhenxing, still did not discipline Su Chen?!

Then, all of a sudden, Dad left the dining room and stopped caring about how wildly Su Chen was acting?!

Su Mu and Su Qiqi looked at each other in confusion, utterly unable to understand what had happened.

Su Chen had already become this arrogant and unruly, so why had Dad not disciplined him?!

Neither of them could understand it.

Just as Su Mu and Su Qiqi were bewildered and shocked by their dad Su Zhenxing's behavior, they saw that Mom, Liu Yanran, had left as well.

Mom, Liu Yanran, had not even scolded Su Chen once before leaving.

Su Mu and Su Qiqi were even more shocked.

Mom, Liu Yanran, had always cared most about discipline among the children at home.

Yet now, despite Su Chen's crazed and reckless behavior, Mom, Liu Yanran, had not disciplined him either?!

Mom, Liu Yanran, had left the dining room without saying a word, no longer caring how wildly Su Chen behaved?!

Su Mu and Su Qiqi widened their eyes, staring at each other in confusion and shock as they guessed at what was going on.

Could Dad and Mom have gone crazy too?!

Otherwise, how could they possibly tolerate Su Chen pretending to be insane and acting like a fool?!

As Su Mu and Su Qiqi looked at each other in speechless silence—

They saw it.

Su Chen gripped the stool tightly and looked toward them.

He even smiled.

What was he smiling about?!

Su Mu and Su Qiqi were panicking inside.

Could it be that Su Chen was happy because Dad and Mom had finally left the dining room, and no one could stop him from doing whatever he wanted anymore?!

Then what crazy thing was Su Chen going to do next?!

Given how Dad and Mom were ignoring Su Chen now, if the two of them were beaten by him, would they just have to take it?!

Just like the last time Su Qiqi had her mouth scrubbed with a Toilet Brush by Su Chen?!

Su Mu and Su Qiqi exchanged a glance and understood each other's meaning.

Very quickly, without even making an agreement aloud, they each rushed out of the dining room through the paths on either side of Su Chen.

Su Chen was greatly surprised.

He had not even done anything, had he?

He had only smiled at them. Why had they run away like startled rabbits?!

Su Chen turned around and watched the two flee as fast as rabbits. He tossed the stool aside and shouted loudly.

"Don't run! Don't run!"

"Why are you two running?!"

Su Mu and Su Qiqi heard a huge BANG behind them. It was clearly the sound of a stool being thrown to the ground.

Their bodies froze!

Crazy!

He had really gone crazy!

Su Chen had truly gone crazy!

Was Su Chen going to smash them with that stool?

In an instant, Su Mu and Su Qiqi sprang forward like coiled springs, leaping far away and running upstairs.

Seeing the dining room empty out in no time, Su Chen shook his head helplessly.

People really were asking for it!

They would not listen when spoken to nicely. They had to force others into going crazy before they would quietly listen.

Over the next few days, Su Chen finally enjoyed several peaceful, uneventful days.

However, that peace lasted only until Friday night's dinner.

What was unusual today was that Su Lili, who had always liked working overtime at the company, was also seated at the Dining Table for dinner.

Su Zhenxing announced some good news to the entire family.

Tomorrow, Saturday, the Su Family would be holding a Business Gathering.

At that time, both important executives from Su Corporation and business partners who worked with Su Corporation would come to the Su Family Villa for the gathering.

"Lily, prepare your company's strategy and development plans properly. Tomorrow, you can communicate and network with these business leaders. It will be a tremendous help to your future development."

Su Lili nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Dad. I've prepared thoroughly."

"I won't embarrass you tomorrow, Dad."

Su Zhenxing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Su Qiqi.

"Qiqi, dress up nicely tomorrow and get to know some of Hai City's promising young businessmen. You might even find your future match."

"Dad, you underestimate me too much!"

"No matter what state I'm in, I, Su Qiqi, am beautiful. I don't need to make special preparations for tomorrow's Business Gathering."

"Tomorrow, a whole group of promising young businessmen will definitely fall at my feet."

Su Qiqi had great confidence in her looks, wearing a smug expression.

That was true. Su Qiqi really was beautiful, with an adorable sort of beauty.

But Su Qiqi did not know that besides a woman's face, men also paid attention to her figure.

For some men, a woman's face was not as important as her figure.

And Su Qiqi's flat-as-an-airstrip figure was probably...

But Su Zhenxing, as her father, was not in a position to say that.

Su Zhenxing glanced at Liu Yanran.

Having shared a bed with Su Zhenxing for over twenty years, Liu Yanran naturally understood what he meant.

"Qiqi, stop acting childish. Tomorrow, Mom will style you up and make the talented young men at the gathering lose their minds over you."

"All right, then! Of course I trust Mom's taste."

Su Qiqi pouted, not entirely willing as she agreed to Liu Yanran's request.

Su Zhenxing was satisfied.

Then Su Zhenxing turned to Su Mu and spoke solemnly.

"Su Mu, tomorrow's Business Gathering will be different from the ones our Su Family held in the past. The people attending will also be more complicated than before."

"This gathering will be a challenge for you as well. How to build connections without being servile or arrogant, maintain those connections, and make use of them will be the key things you need to learn tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Dad."

"You've provided such a good opportunity, Dad. I'll definitely study hard."

"Don't worry, Dad. I definitely won't let you down."

"Tomorrow, I'll make you proud to have a son like me."

Su Mu stood up and bowed to Su Zhenxing. His expression was solemn and full of confidence.

Su Zhenxing burst into delighted laughter.

"Good, good! Then I'll wait for my son to bring me glory tomorrow!"

Just as Su Zhenxing laughed happily at Su Mu's confidence, Liu Yanran looked proud, Su Lili wore an approving expression, and Su Qiqi gave him a thumbs-up in praise—

"You all look so happy!"

"You haven't forgotten about me, Su Chen, again, have you?!"

The one speaking was Su Chen.

In an instant, the laughter and cheer in the dining room vanished, replaced by an awkward silence.
