That was right. Ever since Su Chen returned to the Su Family, whenever the Su Family held any gathering attended by outsiders, whether intentionally or not, they excluded Su Chen.

The reason was naturally that the noble members of the Su Family believed Su Chen, who had grown up in an orphanage, would embarrass them at gatherings.

Although the former Su Chen had been dissatisfied deep down, in order to avoid making the Su Family dislike him, to gain their recognition, and to obtain the family affection he had dreamed of, he had accepted the Su Family's arrangements and never appeared at any of their gatherings.

But that had been the old Su Chen.

The current Su Chen could not stand this kind of grievance.

The current Su Chen had only one principle.

Whoever made things difficult for him, he would absolutely make things difficult for them.

Su Chen looked at the Su Family members, who exchanged glances but refused to look at him.

"Say something! Go on, say something!"

"Did you forget about me, Su Chen, again?!"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

"Why aren't you saying anything?!"

"Feeling guilty?! Aren't you?!"

"So you don't dare say anything?!"

Su Lili, who had neither witnessed Su Chen going crazy nor heard about his exploits over the past few days, was the first to lose her temper.

"Su Chen, what are you yelling for?! What are you yelling for?!"

"Don't you know why no one told you about this?"

"You grew up in an orphanage. What do you know about properly dealing with all those business bigshots at a Business Gathering?"

"What if you accidentally offend someone and bring trouble to the Su Corporation?!"

"Would you be able to bear the responsibility then, Su Chen?"

"Su Chen, stop being so unreasonable!"

"Tomorrow, just quietly go find somewhere else to stay!"

Su Chen looked at Su Lili's disdainful expression and sneered inwardly. Su Lili, do you think I can't deal with you just because you're putting on the airs of an Eldest Sister?!

I'll make sure you regret it!

Perfect. I can settle both old and new grudges at once!

Su Chen's eyes immediately reddened. His entire body trembled, and his voice shook weakly.

"So you all look down on me?!"

"If you all look down on me, why did you bring me back?!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

"Why?! Why?!"

"I hate this! I hate all of you!"

"Go die! All of you, go die!"

Su Zhenxing had remained silent, intending to let his eldest daughter properly teach this Su Chen, who was always pretending to be crazy and playing dumb, a lesson.

Unexpectedly, he heard Su Chen say something so rebellious and was instantly enraged.

Su Zhenxing immediately turned and glared at Su Chen. Just as he was about to berate him—

He saw Su Chen, whose body was trembling and whose eyes were red, suddenly roll his eyes back and fall off his chair onto the floor.

What was going on?!

Su Chen couldn't have been angered to death by Lily, could he?!

Based on what he had learned about Su Chen these past few days, that should not have been possible!

Though doubtful, Su Zhenxing immediately got up and walked toward Su Chen.

He wanted to personally check on Su Chen's condition.

If Su Chen had truly fainted from anger, he could call a doctor to treat him right away.

Just as Su Zhenxing reached Su Chen's side and was about to check on him—

Su Chen suddenly sprang to his feet.

Su Zhenxing was nearly knocked over by Su Chen, who had abruptly jumped up.

Su Zhenxing flew into a rage.

He understood now.

Just as he thought.

How could Su Chen have been so easily angered to death by Lily?!

After all that, Su Chen was just pretending to be mysterious again.

Su Zhenxing steadied himself against the wall, his eyes wide with fury as he pointed at Su Chen and cursed.

"Su Chen, you Rebellious Son!"

"You're pretending to be crazy and playing dumb again!"

"Look at you, acting like a lunatic. If you went to a Business Gathering, wouldn't you only disgrace the Su Family?!"

Before Su Zhenxing had vented enough, just as he was about to continue berating him—

Su Chen jumped again, his body turning to face Su Chen.

Su Zhenxing, who was about to keep scolding Su Chen, felt his heart jolt. His body shuddered, his eyes widened, and his face turned deathly pale. He was nearly scared to death.

He saw—

Su Chen's body was ramrod straight, his arms stretched stiffly forward. His eyes were open, but what was that?!

There were only whites in Su Chen's eyes. There were no pupils at all!

Su Chen spoke.

But that was not Su Chen's tone of voice at all. It was...

"Da Xing Zi, I haven't beaten you in decades, and you've turned out this worthless now?"

"Su Chen is this mother's good grandson. Why are you hitting and scolding him?!"

"Try hitting or scolding Su Chen again."

"Even if this mother goes underground, this mother can come back and beat you so badly you won't be able to get out of bed!"

Su Zhenxing's face was pale as a sheet. Only by holding onto the wall behind him could he barely keep himself from collapsing.

That was right, it was his own mother's tone of voice!

Only his mother would call him by his childhood nickname, Da Xing Zi!

But how was that possible?!

His mother had died thirteen years ago, when Su Chen had been missing for two years, because she missed Su Chen too much!

What was going on?! What was going on?!

Could Su Chen be faking this?!

But if Su Chen was faking it, he had only been two when he went missing. He had not even been old enough to remember things yet. How could he possibly remember the way his mother spoke to him?!

If Su Chen was not pretending, could this really be his mother?!

Had his mother truly come up from underground to stand up for her eldest grandson, Su Chen?!

So, his mother had really come up from underground to beat him?!

In an instant, Su Zhenxing's arm no longer had the strength to support his body. He stared at Su Chen in terror—no, at his mother—as his body went limp and he slid down the wall.

"I'm not settling accounts with you yet!"

"This time, I came up here to find my good granddaughter, Lily!"

As she spoke, Su Chen's body jumped again. This time, Su Chen faced Su Lili.

His eyes, filled only with whites and no pupils, stared blankly at Su Lili.

By now, the dining room had descended into chaos.

Liu Yanran feared this mother-in-law of hers the most.

After Su Chen was lost, her mother-in-law had scolded her every day, saying that as a mother, she could not even keep watch over her own child, and constantly told her to go die.

That period had been the most painful time in Liu Yanran's life.

Fortunately, she later adopted Su Mu, which gave her a small measure of comfort.

Fortunately, this old woman had died two years after Su Chen went missing.

From then on, Liu Yanran had finally been happy. No one was left to lord over her and scold her every day for being unfit to be a mother.

But Liu Yanran had never expected this.

Thirteen years after her mother-in-law's death, she was seeing her again!

Could a dead mother-in-law really come back?!

Liu Yanran did not suspect that Su Chen was pretending.

Because that tone of voice just now had been exactly how Su Zhenxing's mother used to scold Su Zhenxing!

Liu Yanran collapsed onto the floor, her face drained of color from fright. She could not move at all.

Only Su Qiqi and Su Mu were still young and no longer had any impression of Grandma, so they were not nearly as terrified.

They even suspected that Su Chen was pretending.

But Su Lili had already been old enough to remember things when Grandma died.

So she remembered perfectly well that this was Grandma's tone of voice!

This was Grandma!

Grandma had liked grandsons since childhood and disliked granddaughters!

So Su Lili had never liked Grandma either.

But Su Lili was behaving far too fearfully now!

With terror written across her face and her whole body trembling, Su Lili kept wriggling, trying to crawl beneath the table.

But then—

Su Chen leaped several times and arrived beside Su Lili. He grabbed her by the hair and gave her several slaps. Slap! Slap! Slap!

His pupil-less eyes stared blankly into Su Lili's terrified ones.

"Su Lili, you truly are Grandma's good granddaughter and your parents' good daughter!"

"Back then, you watched your younger brother Su Chen get carried away with your own eyes, yet you didn't say a word. I haven't even settled that score with you yet!"

"And today, you're bullying my good grandson again?!"

"Let's see how I teach you, you little beast, a lesson today!"

Slap! Slap! Slap! Su Chen gave Su Lili several more vicious slaps.
