197 The Killer Truck
Wan Shuang knew that her third aunt shouldn’t have brought up this matter in front of Su Jun. After all, Su Jun wasn’t her real boyfriend, but someone that she had roped into this situation.
When Wan Shuang heard this, she became so scared that her body turned cold. She instinctively stopped her third aunt, “Don’t spew such nonsense, Third Aunt!”
Wan Shuang’s third aunt spat out a sunflower seed, rolled her eyes, and said disdainfully, “What do you mean? I’ve seen the news. It’s all true.”
When she finished speaking, another sarcastic voice echoed. Wan Shuang’s fourth aunt said, “If I had a choice, I wouldn’t marry you off to such a ruthless person. It would’ve been better if you dated that young man from the Jin family I recommended last year”
Before Wan Shuang’s fourth aunt could finish, Grandpa Wan interrupted with a darkened expression, “If you have nothing nice to say, you should keep your mouths shut! Don’t embarrass Little Shuang!”
Meanwhile, Su Jun’s expression did not change even though he was the subject of the conversation. He remained calm and glanced at the two middle-aged gossipers. Then Su Jun said coldly, “Instead of poking your noses in other people’s family affairs, you should just learn to live your lives well. Anyway, I haven’t done any of those things. No matter what the outsiders are saying, my conscience is clear.”
The two middle-aged women fell silent, seeing that Su Jun didn’t care about these allegations. Then the tense atmosphere became lively again.
Su Jun remained expressionless since he was used to being criticized by others. He had no issues coping with the current situation, so he comforted Wan Shuang, “It’s all right. I didn’t disappoint your family with my performance, did I?”
Seeing that Su Jun hadn’t taken her aunts’ words to heart, Wan Shuang relaxed. Her eyes lit up as she said, “Your performance was outstanding. I’m ashamed that I am inferior to you.”
Su Jun listened to Wan Shuang’s nagging as he carried Su Su into the minivan. He sat in the driver’s seat and prepared to leave. He started the car and said indifferently, “There’s no need to feel ashamed. However, you will have to get used to being criticized in the future.” Then Su Jun waved at Wan Shuang and drove off.
Wan Shuang was stunned for a long while before realizing what Su Jun meant. She blushed and thought, ‘Did he mean that he’s willing to be my boyfriend?’
Wan Shuang jumped and cheered excitedly, “Oh yeah!”
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the minivan was tense. Su Jun felt as though a dark cloud shrouded his heart. As the sky darkened, his uneasy feeling grew more potent.
Some memory fragments coursed through Su Jun’s mind. His intuition told him that it was something terrible, but he couldn’t remember what it was no matter how hard he tried.
Su Su wanted to cheer Su Jun up, so she undid her seatbelt, moved to the middle of the back seat, and moved closer to him. The little girl tried telling Su Jun about the strange things that Su Ren was up to, “Big Brother, why do I always feel that Su Ren hates us?”
Su Jun pondered, nodded, and confirmed Su Su’s suspicions. He said sincerely, “She’s not suited to stay with us any longer. I will deal with her soon, okay?”
Su Su responded with a nod. She was about to hint at Su Hao’s behavior when she saw a big truck with high beams approaching from a corner nearby.
The truck drove around a corner, showing no signs of slowing down. Instead, it sped straight for the minivan.
“I think” Before Su Su could say much, the truck’s bright headlights shone in her eyes. In a flash, the little girl figured out why Su Ren was so excited to find out about Su Jun’s travel plans. Su Ren had informed the Bai family about this and planned to kill the Su siblings on their way home.
Immediately everything made sense to Su Su. Images of Su Jun’s depressed and disabled figure flashed through the little girl’s mind. Her nerves tensed up, causing her to react instantly.
