If it had really hit Su Lu, if it had disfigured her...what’s more, she was pregnant at the time.
Who could say that wasn’t cruel?
"So you’re saying..." After Su Zhe heard what Zhao Ying said about Jing Ce, "it was because of Bo Jingshen that this incident occurred?"
Su Zhe also remembered the opening banquet of the Boss held at Yunding, which was when Su Lu had felt utterly disheartened and had been hospitalized for an ectopic pregnancy.
Of course, he also remembered Jing Su, who had appeared with Shen Xun at the time.
Who would have thought that such a person as Jing Su could have such a father? It was simply outrageous.
"That old fox always uses unscrupulous means to achieve his goals, his methods are filthy. In the past few years, several young women mysteriously encountered accidents, they all ended up in a terrible state, though they didn’t lose their lives, but it was all very tragic, some even committed suicide. It’s something I heard from Shen Xun," Zhao Ying stated.
She wasn’t particularly interested in such gossip, but since her son had mentioned it, she listened casually, not understanding why her son had brought it up until she found out that Shen Xun had learned it from Jing Su, based on what Jing Su knew, it seemed to be his father’s doing.
After listening, Su Zhe became somewhat worried, "Based on what you’re saying, Lulu might still be in danger in the future?"
"Very likely," Zhao Ying replied, "That’s exactly why I came to see you."
"Purpose?" Su Zhe raised an eyebrow.
Looking him in the eyes, Zhao Ying earnestly said, "Yes. I was originally content to stay uninvolved, not revealing my identity, occasionally appearing beside Qianqian without planning to disrupt her life or mood anytime soon."
"Now you’ve changed your mind," Su Zhe said.
Zhao Ying nodded, "Yes, because of this vicious incident, I’ve changed my mind. I want to acknowledge her as my daughter so that I can openly protect my own child."
Although Su Zhe had long anticipated such a day, when it truly seemed about to happen, he still felt somewhat sad.
He well knew that no matter what, Lulu was his sister. At least he would always treat her as his most important sister, and he believed that Su Lu would always regard him as her most important brother.
Also, Su Zhe well knew that the Su Family was far from a good place to belong to, even he himself disdained his father’s character.
But the moment he realized that Lulu might become someone else’s daughter, he couldn’t help feeling down.
It’s strange how people are, knowing something yet still unable to control it.
Even the most rational person, someone as calm and composed as Su Zhe.
Thus, Su Zhe’s tone slightly changed, "Oh, but what use is it to come to me? What can I possibly do? I’m just a foster brother, without much influence."
His tone sounded a bit sour, Su Zhe was aware of his own sourness, but he didn’t know why he spoke that way.
Zhao Ying could detect the sourness in his tone, but she didn’t find it amusing; instead, she felt somewhat touched. This young man must truly care about Su Lu, which is probably why he couldn’t control his tone.
Zhao Ying spoke earnestly, "Don’t sell yourself short, you’re much more useful than me or Shen Xun, Qianqian listens to you. So I wanted to ask you to prepare Qianqian, subtly bring up the topic of her biological family. Let her prepare a bit so it won’t be too abrupt; after all, I don’t want to frighten her."
Suddenly having a biological mother and brother come into the picture...
Must be shocking, right?
Hearing the seriousness and sincerity in Zhao Ying’s voice, Su Zhe couldn’t continue to be sarcastic; he said, "I’ll do my best, I can’t guarantee my words will always be effective. It’s our family’s fault, because of my father’s disgraceful actions over these years toward Lulu, which may have undermined her concept of parents and family."
How to put it... there’s just no expectation.
Because the only experience she had was just too terrible.
"It’s fine, I’m already grateful that you agreed to this," Zhao Ying said.
Compared to this, Su Zhe was more concerned about Su Lu’s safety, "She isn’t in danger now, is she? Since you say that old fox is so ruthless, won’t he give up if he doesn’t achieve his goal?"
Zhao Ying shook her head, "I will arrange for people to protect her secretly, don’t worry. Fortunately, I still have some connections here, able to mobilize some matters."
Hearing this, Su Zhe was relieved.
Relieved, he remembered another matter; the last time Shen Xun was here, they had just discovered Su Lu’s true identity, causing not only Shen Xun to be emotional but also Su Zhe.
One thing led to another, and he had forgotten someone else.
He only realized later, but by then, Shen Xun had already left and Su Zhe was busy, causing him to forget again.
Seeing Zhao Ying here, Su Zhe remembered.
"Su Yi... the boy who came to our house with Lulu, he’s also your family’s child, isn’t he? You... aren’t planning to acknowledge him?" Su Zhe thought, it seemed like they had all overlooked Su Yi?
Zhao Ying smiled slightly at this, her expression becoming somewhat helpless.
"He is actually my brother’s son, Qianqian’s cousin. These years I’ve also been quite sorry, after all, it’s due to my family’s issues that they lost their son. But my brother is more easy-going, always more optimistic than me..."
"In short, it’s not that we don’t want to acknowledge him; it’s just that after my brother learned how this child has treated Qianqian over the years, he got quite angry and wasn’t so eager to acknowledge him anymore, knowing that I wasn’t planning to alarm Qianqian for the time being, he decided to wait a bit longer, saying there’s no rush at this moment."
