"Dear Fang, and Mu'er, I will certainly avenge you both!"
The woman's face, filled with sadness, suddenly radiated an intense glare of hatred.
Her hands were tightly clenched, and her sharp fingernails had dug into her palms, drawing blood, yet she was oblivious to the pain...
Actually, it would have been simple for Su Chen to conceal the death of the Lv father and son, but he didn't do so. Not only did he not cover it up, but the fact that news of the Lv father and son's death had spread so quickly to Huaxia was entirely his doing.
He did this solely because of a phrase Yun Shiqing had once said to him. It was precisely because of those words that at the charity banquet at the Yun Family's, Su Chen temporarily spared his life.
At that time, Yun Shiqing had disclosed something to him, which was that Lv Shimo and Lv Shixin were not blood brothers, but half-brothers with the same father.
And Lv Shimo's mother turned out to be the eldest sister from the Zheng Family of Yandu!
When Su Chen learned of this information, he kept it in mind, thinking that Lv Shimo might play a special role at some point in the future.
However, he didn't anticipate that this decision would almost cost him and Lin Ruoxue their lives.
Therefore, he no longer cared about the role this chess piece might play and pursued him all the way to Country W to deal with him!
He intentionally let this information spread back to Huaxia Country because he wanted to throw a stone into the calm waters of Yandu...
Everyone in Huaxia knew that there were five top-tier prominent families in Yandu, ranked in strength: the Shen Family, the Pei Family, the Su Family, the Situ Family, and the Zheng Family!
As the two top-tier families closest in strength and also the weakest, the Situ Family had long formed an alliance with the Zheng Family; even the wife of Situ Bo, the head of the Situ Family, was Zheng Lan, the sister of the head of the Zheng Family.
If anything targeted one of these two families, it would undoubtedly provoke a response from the other.
Once these two families were agitated, the waters of Yandu would naturally become muddied...
Yet this was just something Su Chen did casually. As for what kind of reaction it would incite, he could sit back and watch quietly from Jianghai. In any case, it was all beneficial and harmless to him.
After being scared out of his wits by the little demoness Zhao Lin, Su Chen didn't even dare to return to Public Relations, but instead went directly to visit Xia Qiuru.
Since his relationship with Xia Qiuru had become icy, entering Xia Qiuru's office was the same as entering Lin Ruoxue's—he just pushed the door and entered.
Upon entering, he found Xia Qiuru sighing with a troubled face, tightly clutching a cell phone in her hand.
"Qiuru, what's wrong? Are you facing any difficulties at work?"
Su Chen hurriedly asked.
"No, it's that my parents are coming over."
"Isn't it a good thing that your uncle and aunt are coming to see you? Why are you sighing ?"
Upon hearing Xia Qiuru's words, Su Chen felt confused.
"They're coming to see you!"
Xia Qiuru said, looking into Su Chen's eyes.
Su Chen was slightly stunned, now even more puzzled.
"What else could it be?" Xia Qiuru sighed, "After eating with Yu Guangping last time, he told my parents about us and they immediately wanted to come and see you."
"It's just that I've been using various excuses because you've been busy, delaying them. This time they went ahead without notifying me, boarding the train before giving me a call."
Su Chen finally understood; it was the trouble caused by pretending to be Xia Qiuru's boyfriend last time that had Xia Qiuru sighing!
"When are your uncle and aunt arriving?" Su Chen asked.
"Tomorrow afternoon, I suppose."
Xia Qiuru's hometown was quite far from Jianghai, and the old couple was reluctant to take a plane.
"Alright then, let's meet them. I'll come with you tomorrow to pick up your uncle and aunt," Su Chen said after pondering, "Then treat them to a couple of meals, put up with it for a few days, and you can figure out a way to have them return early."
"Won't that trouble you?"
Xia Qiuru was still happy to hear Su Chen say this. She was inclined to have Su Chen continue the act for a couple more days, but she felt a little embarrassed about it.
"No worries, I'll just treat it as making the elders happy."
Su Chen smiled and said that as long as it was possible, he would do his best to help with Xia Qiuru's situation.
Besides, aside from himself, there really was no one else who could help her.
"Su Chen, thank you!"
Xia Qiuru looked at Su Chen with gratitude and said, at this moment, her heart finally settled down.
"Isn't it a bit too formal for us to say thank you to each other?"
Su Chen smiled and said:
"You can smile now, right? The worried frown you had just now really didn't look as good as your smile!"
Xia Qiuru said with a lightly flushed face and a feigned scold.
That bashful and coy demeanor of hers really made Su Chen's heart itch...
Su Chen stayed at Xia Qiuru's place for an hour or two before making another trip to Belle Group's pharmaceutical division, obviously to meet with Doctor Gaia.
