Su Mu Was Not a Member of the Su Family

Su Zhenxing had been so frightened by his own mother that he collapsed onto the floor. When he heard her words, he was instantly shocked.

What?!

Lily had seen Su Chen being carried away, yet she had not called anyone to save him?!

How was that possible?!

Su Chen was Lily's biological younger brother!

How could Lily treat her own brother like that?!

Impossible! Impossible!

Though reason told him it was impossible, Su Zhenxing could not help looking at Su Lili's expression, trying to confirm that his guess was wrong.

Su Zhenxing truly did not want to admit that his eldest daughter, whom he had always been proud of, could be so vicious!

But the instant Su Zhenxing saw Su Lili...

He was disappointed.

Su Lili had already been beaten by Su Chen until her face was swollen and blood was running from the corner of her mouth. Even that could not conceal the guilt and fear all over her face.

Su Lili was held limply in Su Chen's grasp. She stared fearfully at his eyes, which showed only the whites, without the slightest strength to break free from his control.

No, to break free from Grandma's control!

"You beast! I'll beat you to death, you beast!"

"You vicious little beast! You watched your own biological brother get carried off by human traffickers and did nothing to stop them!"

"You beast! You deserve this! I'll beat you to death!"

Su Chen's hand rose high, then slammed down hard.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

It landed heavily on Su Lili's face.

Su Lili's face swelled even further.

Su Lili shrank back and began to cry.

"Grandma, I didn't do it on purpose! I really didn't!"

"Grandma, I was still young back then! I had no idea what was happening!"

"Grandma, please let me go! Please spare me!"

"Grandma, Su Chen has already returned safely to the Su Family. Please, for his sake, spare me! Forgive me!"

"Bullshit! You were already ten years old then. How could you not know what was going on?!"

"You weren't an idiot!"

"Su Lili, you still want to lie to your Grandma?!"

"You clearly thought I liked your brother and didn't like you, so you deliberately let the human traffickers steal your brother away!"

As she spoke, Su Chen's hand rose viciously again before coming down hard on Su Lili's face.

Su Lili's face was already swollen like a steamed bun.

Yet Su Lili still did not dare struggle.

"Besides, Su Lili, my good grandson returned safely to the Su Family because he was blessed and lucky. What does that have to do with you?!"

"You still have the nerve to ask me to spare you for my good grandson's sake?!"

"You're asking for it! You're asking for it!"

Su Chen's white-filled eyes widened further, and his hand struck Su Lili's face heavily again.

Although Su Zhenxing was deeply disappointed that his eldest daughter had been vicious enough to let human traffickers carry Su Chen away,

Su Lili had already been beaten beyond recognition by his mother.

If this continued, his mother might beat Su Lili to death.

Su Zhenxing looked at Su Chen's eyes, which showed only the whites, and could not help trembling in fear again.

But to keep his mother from beating Su Lili to death,

Su Zhenxing still suppressed his fear and pleaded with his mother.

"Mom..."

When he called out the first time, Su Zhenxing still felt deeply awkward.

After all, he was calling his own son, Su Chen, Mom.

But after saying it once, Su Zhenxing simply gave up caring and got used to it.

"Mom, look, Lily is about to be beaten to death by you."

"Yes, Lily was wrong. But she really was young back then."

"No matter what, Lily is your biological granddaughter. For your son's sake, Mom, please spare Lily's life!"

"For your sake?!"

Su Chen's white-filled eyes turned toward Su Zhenxing and met his gaze.

In an instant, Su Zhenxing trembled all over in terror.

Su Chen released Su Lili.

After all, if he kept hitting her, she really would die.

Su Chen stretched both hands forward, hopped over to Su Zhenxing, and grabbed a fistful of his hair.

"You're no good either!"

"You still have the nerve to call me Mom!"

"You knew perfectly well how much I missed and loved Su Chen, my good grandson!"

"And yet, what did you do?!"

"My grandson was blessed and lucky enough to return safely to the Su Family after so much difficulty."

"Not only did you fail to treat my grandson well, you looked down on him, mistreated him, and even dared to beat and scold my grandson!"

"You still dare call me Mom!"

"If it weren't for you, you useless thing, how could my good grandson have been abducted by human traffickers?!"

"The one you should look down on most is yourself!"

"The one you should mistreat most is yourself!"

"You should slap yourself!"

"You worthless fool!"

After saying that, Su Chen gave Su Zhenxing several slaps as well.

When his mother had been alive, Su Zhenxing had never dared go against her wishes.

After all, his mother would beat him whenever she felt like it, and she truly hit hard.

Much less when facing this mother who had specifically come up from the underworld to settle scores with him.

Su Zhenxing could not muster even the slightest thought of resistance.

He went limp, allowing his mother to yank his hair and slap him viciously.

Su Mu, however, felt that this was a good opportunity to make himself noticed by Dad.

Dad was getting beaten, and Mom and his sister did not dare say a word. Only he dared speak up. Wouldn't Dad value him even more?!

Besides, Su Mu had always believed Su Chen was pretending, so he was not terribly afraid.

"Grandma, stop hitting Dad!"

"Grandma, let Dad go!"

"Grandma, if you want to hit someone, hit me!"

"When there's trouble, a son should bear it. Grandma, hit me instead. Don't hit my dad!"

The moment Su Zhenxing heard this, he was deeply moved.

Although Su Mu was not related to him by blood, the kindness of raising someone outweighed the kindness of giving birth. Look at Su Mu—he was clearly terrified himself, yet he still dared plead on Su Zhenxing's behalf and even offered to take the beating for him!

He truly was Su Zhenxing's good son!

Su Zhenxing had not spoiled Su Mu for nothing!

Just as Su Zhenxing was so moved that tears filled his eyes, he heard his mother speak.

"Don't call me Grandma!"

"I'm not your Grandma!"

"I don't know whose child you are, but you are definitely not a child of my Su Family!"

"Don't call me Grandma."

"And you, Da Xing Zi."

"You fool who can't tell family from strangers! Do you even know who your child is?!"

As she spoke, Su Chen's hand swung heavily toward Su Zhenxing's face again.

"I'll beat you to death, you fool who can't tell family from strangers!"

"If you dare bully, beat, scold, or mistreat my good grandson Su Chen again, I'll come back up here to find you and beat you to death!"

"If that doesn't work, I'll just take you down with me."

"That way, you won't stay up here being so ignorant and making me worry so much!"

Su Mu had been secretly pleased as he watched Su Zhenxing tear up from being moved by him. In an instant, he froze. His face alternated between black with rage and pale with fear.
