The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 122
Chapter 122: What Happened Back Then
When Su Yurou heard the cold and heartless words uttered by Du Huimin, she turned ghastly pale and looked pleadingly at Gu Zihang, as if seeking for help.
Du Huimin could sense Su Yurou’s intention. She snorted coldly and spoke without being tactful.
“Zihang, I’m doing this for your sake. Many women wish to marry you. Don’t make the wrong decision and disappoint me!”
Su Yurou’s eyes widened upon hearing this. She touched her chest and her body trembled.
She had sacrificed and compromised a lot to be able to marry Gu Zihang and become the rightful young madam of Gu Group.
In front of Gu Zihang and even his mother, Du Huimin, she had always acted like a gentle, obedient, and decent woman, but why didn’t Du Huimin like her?
What she got in return for her effort were these words: “There are many women who wish to marry my son!”
How cold-blooded was Du Huimin to utter such words in front of her?
Su Yurou gasped for air and forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. She continued to show Gu Zihang her imploring look.
Su Yurou’s red eyes were filled with tears. Coupled with the obvious palm print on her swollen cheek, she appeared pitiful, arousing the sympathy of others.
Gu Zihang looked at Su Yurou hesitantly. However, facing the great pressure given by his mother, his lips moved but he dared not even make noise!
Su Yurou’s heart turned icy cold. Her legs gave way and she supported herself, holding the wall in pain, to prevent herself from falling.
“Zihang, I love you so much. How could you measure our relationship with money?”
Su Yurou’s disappointed and bitter interrogation sent a throbbing pain to Gu Zihang’s heart. He looked bitterly toward Su Yurou and he finally spoke.
“Yurou, I…If you truly love me, please transfer the shares under your name to me. After marrying me, isn’t what’s mine yours too?”
Before Gu Zihang completed his sentence, everything went black in front of Su Yurou. A sense of frustration and inability arose in her heart. She had overestimated her position in Gu Zihang’s heart. This man was so selfish!
“Zihang, you make me very sad…”
Su Yurou held the train of her gown tightly. She gnashed her teeth slightly and her look was so gentle and weak, making one wish to bring her into their embrace.
Suddenly, Gu Zihang dared not look at Su Yurou. That pair of teary eyes were filled with forbearance and disappointment. He almost refused his mother’s request.
Du Huimin saw Gu Zihang started to vacillate. She sneered coldly.
“So what if you are sad? Mr. Su, your daughter lacks common sense. As a father, you should be more mature than she is…”
Su Yurou had not expected Du Huimin to be rude toward her father. She turned sideways to look at Su Jiankai, hoping he would handle the situation in his CEO-like manner, but Su Jiankai merely stood aside silently.
Su Yurou was puzzled. Then, a faint, cold smile appeared on Du Huimin’s elegant face.
“Mr. Su, now that your niece has married Jiang Xuecheng, if you do not want me to talk about what happened back then, you’d better think about Sheng Yuan’s problem carefully. Isn’t it better for the share ownership to be in the hands of the Gus rather than in yours?”
Su Jiankai’s expression changed. He turned pale as he said, “Du Huimin, we are in the same boat. You are an accomplice as you concealed what you know. It would be difficult for you to get away now. Don’t you use this to threaten me!”
Hearing Su Jiankai’s stern remark, Du Huimin froze for a moment but very quickly, she could sense that he was outwardly strong but inwardly weak. A sense of disdain appeared in her beautiful black eyes.
“It won’t be a problem for me to shirk the responsibility. As for you and your daughter…haha…”
Du Huimin said no more. Her eyes swept across the few people in the room and immediately turned around to leave!
Su Jiangkai saw Du Huimin disappearing from his sight. His original air of sternness suddenly subsided. He sighed and felt he had suddenly grown ten years older.
Su Yurou and Gu Zihang, who had remained in the room, were puzzled about Su Jiankai’s and Du Huimin’s conversation.
What happened back then? What accomplice?
What had all these to do with Su Wan?
Huge questions hovered around Su Yurou’s and Gu Zihang’s heart. Su Yurou withdrew her hands from the wall and she looked grave.
From the tone of voice of the old hag and her father, that incident must be important and it might relate to huge financial affairs and even a few people’s lives.
That year, financial affairs, lives, Su Wan…
These few phrases kept lingering in Su Yurou’s mind. She bit her lip as if deep in thought and suddenly recalled something.
Were her father and Du Huimin hiding something about the accident of Su Wan’s parents?
If the death of Su Wan’s parents was really her father’s plot…
Su Yurou’s eyes trembled and she dared not think further.
No, no, no!
If this was really the case, she must be married to Gu Zihang because the only way to prevent this time bomb from exploding was to tie down the person who knew about this with her family on the same boat.
Su Yurou looked hesitantly at Su Jiankai. Looking at his dejected look, she was more and more sure that she had guessed right.
On the other hand, Gu Zihang could not keep his equanimity like Su Yurou. His lips moved a few times and finally couldn’t help asking.
“Father-in-Law, what were you talking about with my mother just now? What did you mean when you said what happened back then?”
Su Jiankai widened his eyes and he looked displeased. “You still acknowledge me as your father-in-law? Look how your mother treated Yurou!”
Su Jiankai did not reply his question. Gu Zihang couldn’t help frowning. Just as he was about to continue asking, Su Yurou paled and she let out a low cry in pain.
The two men in the room looked at her at the same time. Su Yurou struggled to support herself with her hands on the wall, as if her strength could not support her as she fell forward to the ground.
Gu Zihang was startled and anxiously supported her with his hands.
Su Yurou nestled in Gu Zihang’s embrace and from an angle he could not see, she winked at her father. “Father, my stomach is very painful, please bring me to the hospital quickly.”
Su Jiankai understood immediately that her daughter was feigning. He was slightly stunned and did not know what his daughter was up to.
“Alright, Zihang, quickly bring her to the hospital!”
Su Yurou was anxious and hinted immediately as she said, “Father, I’m still worried. Please come along. Don’t you know a few good doctors?”
Su Jiankai caught what she meant very quickly and immediately brought Su Yurou and Gu Zihang to the hospital where the director was someone he knew.
***
More than two hours later, a doctor in white congratulated Su Jiankai and Gu Zihang smilingly.
“Both of you are the father and husband of this lady? Congratulations! You are going to be a grandfather and a father soon. This lady is a bit more than a month pregnant!”
