Zhou Guomin's Helpless Rage

If he wanted to keep a firm grip on the Su Household, there was no way he could leave those two old fossils alive. If they really moved into the Chu Family's sanatorium, it would be much harder for him to make a move later.

Fu Siwen gave him no chance to refuse. "Minghui has already agreed. Besides, how could taking care of Uncle and Auntie be called a bother? They watched me grow up. If we really counted it, I've known them longer than you've been part of this family."

Zhou Guomin looked at Su Minghui, hoping she would deny it. After all, his wife had always taken his side before.

But Su Minghui nodded. "Chu Hospital has China's best medical team. I think it would be good for my parents to stay there for a while and recover."

Zhou Guomin still wanted to say something to salvage the situation, but Fu Siwen stepped forward and intimately linked arms with Su Minghui, directly squeezing him aside.

"President Zhou, don't worry. Given my relationship with Huihui, you should have come to me about this from the start. The Chu Family's resources are right there, after all. What's mine is hers, isn't it?"

"But it's normal that President Zhou doesn't know how close we are. After Huihui married you, for some reason, she stopped contacting us friends. Everyone ended up drifting apart."

For some reason? Wasn't she blatantly and subtly implying that he had forbidden Su Minghui from associating with her old friends, trying to drive a wedge between them?

"I've always respected Minghui's choices. Perhaps some misunderstanding gave Madam Chu that impression."

"If it's a misunderstanding, then that's even better. Huihui and I haven't spent time together in ages, so she can stay at my place for a few days while we have the chance."

Su Minghui said nothing, tacitly accepting Fu Siwen's arrangement.

She had already found it exhausting to put on an act in front of Zhou Guomin every day. Now that she knew he had incited others to abuse her parents, she felt nauseated just looking at him.

Perhaps staying away from him was the best solution.

Of course, Chu Yanxiao was the happiest of all. His eyes instantly sparkled. "Then will my little wife come too? Yay! My little wife can play with me!"

Su Leyun blew bubbles too.

Oh no, I probably won't have time to sleep tonight.

Zhou Guomin gritted his teeth. Sure enough, he had been right to manipulate Su Minghui into distancing herself from her family and friends. If every one of them had been as sharp-tongued as Fu Siwen, how could his plan have gone so smoothly?

Yet this was someone he could not afford to offend.

Just then, the medical staff finished their examination, and the transfer could proceed immediately. Everyone left happily, leaving Zhou Guomin alone in the room.

Everything going wrong lately had left Zhou Guomin simmering with anger. He helplessly sat down on the bed, only to feel something wet and sticky beneath him. At the same time, a strange stench erupted through the air.

He instinctively reached down to touch it. The texture felt odd, and when he brought his hand to his nose, he instantly understood what it was.

"Ahhh!!!"

Zhou Guomin screamed while dry-heaving, his entire face turning red with rage. Humiliated and furious, he grabbed whatever was at hand and smashed it wildly, venting his anger on the innocent furniture. Then, in a moment of carelessness, his foot slipped, and he fell directly onto the bedsheet tossed on the floor.

The foul stench rushed straight to his head, and Zhou Guomin raged helplessly.

The patients around him who were being transferred shook their heads at the sound. "This sanatorium is too cruel. They've abused that man into insanity!"

In contrast, the atmosphere on Su Minghui's side was far more relaxed.

Everyone followed the ambulance to Chu Hospital and brought Father Su and Mother Su in. After full-body examinations, it seemed that because the shareholders' meeting had not yet taken place, Zhou Guomin had not dared to deal the two elders a fatal blow. Aside from malnutrition and physical weakness, neither had any serious problems.

Su Minghui was finally somewhat relieved. Without stopping, she accompanied her parents to their new sanatorium. This nursing home was farther from the city center, but its facilities and air were better than those in the city, making it an excellent place for recuperation.

Fu Siwen was exceedingly generous, directly arranging a private-floor VVIP room for the two elders and assigning dedicated security personnel. Fu Siwen and her friend, the director, took Su Minghui around the sanatorium and introduced everything to her. It all looked very reassuring.

After returning to the room, Su Minghui chatted with her mother for a while, and then night fell.

Mother Su urged everyone to go home and rest, so the group finally returned to the Chu Residence.

The happiest among them was still Chu Yanxiao, whose chatter never stopped.

"Little wife, we have tons of toys at home. You can play with all of them!"

"And lots of delicious food too. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have the chef make it for you."

"Auntie, can Leyun sleep in my room tonight? I promise I won't crowd him at all!"

Su Leyun wanted to cover his ears.

No way. I want to sleep with my mom! Mom smells nice. Isn't she way better than a little brat like you?

Su Minghui and Fu Siwen were both amused by Chu Yanxiao's enthusiasm.

After laughing, Su Minghui suddenly looked at Fu Siwen and felt a pang of sorrow. Despite not having been in touch for so long, Fu Siwen had still done everything she could to help at a single word from her. Such a wonderful friend had nearly been cut off because of Zhou Guomin's sweet talk. She had been so foolish!

"Siwen, thank you so much for everything these past few days."

"Why are you saying that between us?" Fu Siwen glanced at the rearview mirror and lifted her chin teasingly. "Who knows? Maybe we'll become in-laws someday and grow even closer."

Su Minghui did not take it seriously. Her Leyun had changed from a daughter into a son, so how could they become in-laws? Still, she sincerely said, "I mean it. If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have known what to do."

Fu Siwen also sensed Su Minghui's sincerity and turned serious. "If I were in this situation, I believe you would help me without hesitation too. You only need to promise me that you won't ignore me again in the future, all right?"

Su Minghui readily agreed. "All right!"

As they spoke, the car had already stopped in front of the Chu Residence.

Chu Yanxiao's nagging had made Su Leyun a little sleepy, but the moment he got out of the car and saw the Chu Residence, his eyes brightened. He tilted his head and studied it for a while, muttering inwardly.

Why does this residence feel so heavy with yin energy?

The Chu Family was a prominent household in the Imperial Capital, and its business was flourishing. Logically, a residence like this should have been blessed land with excellent feng shui, an auspicious home.

Though it was only a quiet mutter, the other two besides Fu Siwen heard it keenly.

Chu Yanxiao was still young and did not understand what yin energy meant. He looked toward his home too, but a house was just a house. It stood there brightly lit, and he saw nothing unusual beyond that.

Besides, his mind was full of Su Leyun sleeping with him tonight, so he did not pay much attention to it.

But Su Minghui was startled.
