“Stop it…”
Zong Yanxiu’s lips trembled. He did not know how to stop Su Cha from continuing. After Bo Muyi heard the truth, he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and looked at Zong Yanxiu. “So, Uncle, do you still think it’s better to hide everything for Su Cha’s sake?”
Zong Yanxiu shook his head. He could not bear to see Su Cha’s expression. “No one will believe it now. Besides, Su Cha is their biological daughter.”
“With the Zong family’s current power, it is indeed a little troublesome for you to deal with the Zuo family now. The Martial Alliance behind them is also not easy to deal with.”
Bo Muyi said playfully, “So, Uncle Yanxiu, do you want to work together?”
Zong Yanxiu looked at Bo Muyi in surprise. “You want to attack the Zuo family?”
He glanced at Su Cha, who was expressionless, and said worriedly, “The Bo family has always been neutral. It’ll take a lot of effort to pull it off. Besides, this matter has been going on for many years. Everyone is fine now. There’s no need to…”
“Can Uncle Yanxiu really bear it?”
Bo Muyi looked at Zong Yanxiu with an unfathomable expression. “When you took Cha Cha away, how many people in the Imperial Capital mocked and ridiculed you behind your back? Is it worth it for you to give up everything for Ruan Yin?”
Zong Yanxiu’s face swelled, and he looked at Su Cha with embarrassment.
Back then, he was the high and mighty young master of the Zong family, but he became a laughingstock for the sake of Ruan Yin and Zuo Shaoxin. When Ruan Yin asked him to help her, he’d agreed without hesitation.
Zuo Shaoxin’s fiancée’s family could not be underestimated. Zong Yanxiu gave up everything he had and brought Su Cha to a small town to live in seclusion.
Because of this matter, the old man from the Zong family was so angry that he had a heart attack. Zong Yanxiu’s father was so angry that he had no choice but to take over the Zong family’s mess. Until now, everyone knew that the Zuo and the Zong family did not get along well. And because the two families were backed by the Martial Alliance, this kind of family matter could not be settled by the Alliance. However, because it was a matter of great importance, the old Alliance Master had personally come forward to mediate, so the Zong family did not completely fall out with the Zuo family.
Zong Yanxiu’s father had not fallen out with them in person, but he had cursed Ruan Yin and Zuo Shaoxin many times in private.
Nowadays, people in the Imperial Capital still dared to shamelessly say that Ruan Yin and Zuo Shaoxin were a match made in heaven. Everyone praised Zuo Shaoxin for loving his wife so much. It had been so many years since he’d been in any scandals, and they even gave birth to a pair of beautiful children.
The Zong family gritted their teeth in anger.
They knew that Su Cha was brought up by Zong Yanxiu. However, because of Zong Yanxiu’s accident, his life was in danger when they found him. After he fell off the cliff, he was slowed down by the tree branches and fell into a mud pit, saving his life.
The Zong family had also noticed Su Cha. At that time, Su Cha was just a little girl. No matter how well-mannered the Zong family was, they could not show any good expressions.
And because Zong Yanxiu had taken care of her for so many years, the Zongs had given Su Cha to someone called Su Mingzhe to fulfill Zong Yanxiu’s last act of kindness, but only on the condition that she was never to return to the Imperial Capital.
If Zuo Shaoxin did not care about his daughter, why should the Zong family care?
“Of course not.”
Su Cha spoke up for Zong Yanxiu. There was a smile on her face, but it gave off a creepy feeling. “It’s all thanks to you that I didn’t die back then, Father. But Zuo Shaoxin’s matter is naturally not worth it. In my eyes, those who want to harm my father should not have a good ending.”
No matter who it was.
