Chapter 613: For what?   Chapter 613: For what?                                   “She’s getting more and more presumptuous, not even paying us any regard,” Su Hongde’s face immediately turned ugly, “Did Xiao Ran cause the injury on your face?”


    Tan Lirong sat on the side, sobbing, while Wen Peipei was somewhat impatient.


    “Who else could it be but that scourge?”


    Su Zhongyuan ignored Wen Peipei’s sarcasm and looked at Tan Lirong and Su Xinyan with slightly narrowed eyes.


    “Why did Xiao Ran suddenlye home? And why did she take the Su Family’s servant with her?”


    Su Zhongyuan knew Su Ran; without a special reason, she wouldn’t have done such a thing for no reason.


    Tan Lirong seemed to be waiting for Su Zhongyuan to ask her, and the moment she heard his words, she immediately started to chatter incessantly.


    “Dad, remember when we were sorting out Sister Yue’s things, a jade pendant went missing? Later, I found it in Aunt Zhang’s room, and I thought, after all, Aunt Zhang was hired by Sister Yue herself, and she had been with the Su Family for so long, so I wanted to deal with this matter privately.


    The Su Family, after all, is one of the most prominent families in Yong City, and having theft happen at home isn’t something pleasant to spread, but it also isn’t good to keep Aunt Zhang around, so I wanted to dismiss her and let the matter rest. But I didn’t expect…”


    At this point, Tan Lirong choked up a little, seemingly ovee by a massive grievance.


    “Not only did Aunt Zhang refuse to admit it, but she also instigated the other servants to resign together. At this time, Xiao Ran came back, and when she learned I was going to dismiss Aunt Zhang, she humiliated me right away. Xinyan, unable to hold back her anger, retorted, but I didn’t expect her to get hurt so badly by her.


    “Not only that, but she also forced me to pour her water. Dad, I’ve been married into the Su Family for so many years, and no matter what, I am her elder. But now, to be humiliated by a junior like this, I… What face do I have left to stay in the Su Family? I might as well be dead!”


    Enraged, Tan Lirong’s words ended in tears streaming down her face.


    Sitting on the couch, she started to cry outright.


    Upon seeing her like this, Su Hongde’s expression kept changing.


    At this moment, Su Zhongyuan suddenly spoke gravely, “You want to dismiss Aunt Zhang?”


    Wen Peipei’s expression also darkened considerably, and she sneered when she heard Su Zhongyuan’s words.


    “It’s just a dishonest servant, dismiss her then, there’s nothing so serious about that. It’s your beloved granddaughter you should be looking at. Look at what she’s done now, utterly arrogant!”


    Tan Lirong cried even harder, “Mom, you have to stand up for me, and for Xinyan. She’s been bullied so many times like this, she just got married into the Gu Family, and now this happened. If the Gu Family hears about it, who knows what they will think.”


    Wen Peipei’s shrewd eyes flickered slightly, and her expression grew even uglier.


    “The ount will naturally have to be settled with her, but not now. Something like that happened at the wedding reception, and with the awards ceremony imminent, we absolutely can’t let anything affect Xinyan’s reputation.”


    Hearing this, Tan Lirong was reluctant, but she also knew what was urgent.


    Right now, there was nothing more important than the awards ceremony.


    Once Xinyan clinches the championship at this year’s World Designer Competition, what would someone like Su Ran count for?


    As Wen Peipei spoke, she tenderly patted Su Xinyan’s hand and said kindly,


    “Don’t worry, grandma will definitely stand up for you.”


    Su Xinyan shook her head, demurely and understandingly,


    “Grandma, I don’t me my sister. I know Aunt Zhang was hired by Big Aunt, and it’s understandable that my sister is unhappy with how my mom handled it. But after all, my mom is her elder, and what she did today… was just too much!”


    “Rest assured, grandma knows how to handle it.”


    Mentioning Su Ran, Wen Peipei’s face uncontrobly darkened.


    This cmity, if left unchecked, who knows what disaster she could bring to the Su Family.


    It was time to get her to settle down!


    Taking a deep breath, she looked at Su Xinyan with full affection.


    “Tomorrow is your first return visit after the wedding. Will Gu Henge back with you?”


    Su Xinyan shyly nodded her head, and when she mentioned Gu Heng, her lips curled up with a happy smile.


    “Yes, not only Brother Heng, but mom and dad will being too.”


    Of course, by “mom and dad,” Su Xinyan meant Gu Heng’s parents.


    Upon hearing this, Wen Peipei immediately felt ted.


    “Gu Heng’s parents areing too? Really?”


    Su Xinyan nodded slightly, responding softly.


    “Good, good, it seems that tomorrow’s meal needs careful preparation.”


    The more attention the husband’s family pays, the more satisfied they are with the new bride.


    And returning to the parental home like this usually involves only the son-inw apanying.


    The fact that Gu Qiming and Deng Jingru woulde to the Su Family together shows how much they value and love Xinyan.


    In light of this, the incidents that happened at the wedding didn’t seem to have much impact on the Gu Family.


    This is undoubtedly good news for the Su Family!


    Wen Peipei looked at Su Xinyan, her sharp eyes softening with affection.


    “Xinyan truly is the Lucky Star of our Su Family, always turning misfortune into fortune. Entrusting thepany to you was the most correct choice.”


    Su Xinyan slightly curled her lips, feeling a sense of pride within her, but still kept a humble and sensible expression on her face.


    Su Zhongyuan nced over everyone indifferently and stood up from the couch.


    “As for the matter of the return visit, you handle it.”


    After speaking, he intended to head upstairs.


    Seeing this, Su Xinyan quickly acted the part of an obedient granddaughter.


    “Grandfather, shall I apany you…”


    “No need, I can go upstairs myself.”


    Watching the old man’s retreating, frail figure, a dark light flickered in Su Xinyan’s beautiful eyes–inside, there was a trace of resentment.


    Resentment for his bias towards Su Ran, resentment because for him, there had never been the words ‘fair’ when it came to her and Su Ran.


    “Oh, by the way…”


    Su Zhongyuan seemed to think of something and abruptly turned around, his gaze falling on Su Xinyan’s face.


    Su Xinyan immediately hid the ruthless and jealous expression on her face, hastily crafting a sweet smile.


    “Is there something else, Grandfather?”


    Su Zhongyuan narrowed his aged eyes, his prating gaze fixed straight on Su Xinyan’s face.


    “What did youe home for today?”


    “I…”


    Su Xinyan had not expected the old man to ask such a question and couldn’t find a good excuse on the spot, freezing there and then.


    She felt somewhat panicked, especially under the old man’s sharp and keen eyes. She was terrified he knew something.


    “Grandfather, I…”


    Su Xinyan was at a loss, herplexion turning pale as she hurried to exin something.


    But for a long time, she couldn’t find a good reason.


    It was then that Wen Peipei spoke up to relieve her predicament.


    “Isn’t the Su Family Xinyan’s home? Or is she not allowed to return home after she’s married?”


    Su Zhongyuan snorted coldly, never once ncing at Wen Peipei, his deep gaze lingered on Su Xinyan for a few seconds before he turned and went upstairs.


    Su Xinyan’s hands were tightly sped together, her heart still ‘thump thumping’ continuously.


    As she watched Su Zhongyuan’s figure gradually disappear, a disordered and sinister shadow flitted through her eyes.
