Chapter 173: Su Yan: Killing Me to Silence Me?

The door was pushed open from the outside.

If Su Yan's appearance had made Li Qiuhua's heart tremble with fear, seeing Su Mo following behind Su Yan caused her vision to spin in waves of dizziness.

Not only had Su Yan come herself, but she had actually brought Su Mo!

Compared to Li Qiuhua's fear, Su Mo's reaction was even more intense.

She could not accept the scene unfolding before her eyes.

Without even waiting for Su Yan to react, she walked toward the two of them in a state of losing control.

"Mom, what are you doing? Tell me, what are you doing?!"

So her mother had actually been keeping a man on the side?

The money in the house hadn't been given to her maternal family at all; it had all been given to this man!

Li Qiuhua panicked completely. She hurriedly let go of Wang Shusheng and grabbed Su Mo's wrist. "Mo Mo, listen to your mother explain..."

"What is there left to explain? You've done something so shameless, do you have no shame toward me? Do you have no shame toward my father?" Besides anger, Su Mo now felt nothing but contempt.

Li Qiuhua's eyes turned red. "It's really not what you think..."

At this moment, Wang Shusheng stood up unsteadily, leaning against the doorframe. "How does this little brat talk? Doesn't she even recognize her old man anymore?"

That drunken sentence caused Su Mo to freeze in place, staring at him blankly.

Su Yan stood not far from the three of them, watching this farce with great interest.

Li Qiuhua hadn't expected Wang Shusheng to speak so recklessly. When they divorced back then, Su Mo was only four years old; it was only natural that she wouldn't remember him.

"Can't you speak to your daughter properly?"

From the moment she became sensible, Su Mo had been ashamed of being the daughter of a degenerate gambler. Now that he was openly declaring his identity like this, how could she bear it?

Wang Shusheng curled his lip. "She's my seed. The fact that I'm even talking to her like this is giving her face. Does she really think that by changing her surname to Su, she can sever ties with me?"

His vulgar words left Su Mo with not a shred of dignity.

Su Mo's eyes shook violently. The face of Wang Shusheng before her, which she loathed to the extreme, was slowly overlapping with a face from the depths of her memory.

Once she confirmed Wang Shusheng's identity, the blood in her body boiled; she wished this man would vanish into thin air immediately.

Watching her constantly changing expressions, Wang Shusheng let out a sneer.

"Wang Mo, it's time you remembered your old man!"

Regarding the fact that Su Mo had changed her surname, Wang Shusheng had long been harboring a grudge, and it just so happened that he could settle it now.

Su Mo suddenly snapped back to her senses, resentment and fear coexisting in the depths of her eyes.

"Mom, why is he here? I don't know him at all!"

Li Qiuhua hadn't expected things to escalate to such an irrecoverable state. Amidst her panic, she finally noticed Su Yan standing not far away.

"It's you! This was all your plan, wasn't it?"

Last night, she had first acted friendly to trick her into coming to find this man, and today she had brought Su Mo to witness it with her own eyes.

This little wench truly had a deep, calculating mind!

Su Yan smiled slightly. "Aunt Qiuhua, I don't understand what you're talking about. I saw you heading out early this morning and was worried you might do something drastic to raise money, so I came out with Su Mo to look for you. I didn't expect that you actually have... dealings with this... ex-husband, right? So my father's money was actually all given to this man by you?"

Li Qiuhua was being driven mad; they had actually heard everything!

This little wench was treating them mother and daughter like fools.

"Aunt Qiuhua, I think it's best if you hurry and explain things clearly to Su Mo." Su Mo's drifting words redirected her attention back to the already collapsing Su Mo.

"Mo Mo, listen to my explanation. I only recently met your father again..."

"He is not my father! My father is Su Jianguo!"

Su Mo didn't even give her the chance to finish her sentence, interrupting her with a distorted expression.

Seeing her attitude, Wang Shusheng grew displeased as well. He rolled up his sleeves, wanting to teach her a lesson.

A brat who wouldn't even recognize her ancestor—he might as well beat her to death.

Li Qiuhua used all her strength to push him, trying to prevent him from hurting Su Mo.

This scene could be described by more than just the word "chaos."

"Ah! Stop it! The one who should die is me, alright?!"

Suddenly, Li Qiuhua let out a scream and collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, filled with despair.

Su Mo was also already in tears.

Wang Shusheng panted heavily, having little strength left.

Seeing Li Qiuhua crying like a broken person, his drunkenness completely cleared.

On one side was his woman, on the other was a daughter who wouldn't recognize him, while bystanders were watching the spectacle with schadenfreude.

A venomous gaze fell upon Su Yan.

Li Qiuhua had mentioned Su Yan's business to him before; at this moment, his entire aura became sinister.

"Stop crying, all of you. This girl is Su Yan, right? Mo Mo was made disabled by her, wasn't she?"

If Su Jianguo were here, he might have felt some trepidation, but standing here now was just an unremarkable little girl; he could kill her with a single slap.

Upon hearing his words, both Li Qiuhua and Su Mo actually stopped crying.

"Wang Shusheng, what do you want to do?"

Li Qiuhua knew this man too well. At this moment, his expression clearly indicated he was about to move against Su Yan.

Wang Shusheng scanned the courtyard, looking for something handy.

"Didn't you just say it was all because of this girl's schemes? Now that she has seen me, she can't leave this courtyard. As long as she disappears, that Su Jianguo won't have the heart to keep bothering you for a divorce."

"No..." Li Qiuhua instinctively tried to stop him.

How do you make a person disappear?

Killing someone meant paying with one's life!

But before she could continue persuading him, Su Mo actually grabbed her.

A crazed light flickered on Su Mo's face. This man was right—as long as Su Yan disappeared, not only would no one know about today's events, but Su Jianguo wouldn't leave them because of Su Yan.

Wiping the tears from her face, she looked directly at Su Yan.

"Su Yan, your goal was to bring me here so you could use this as an excuse to force my mother to divorce, right? But your calculations are wrong. You caused me to lose an arm; today, I'm going to make you pay back double!"

"Hahaha! As expected of my daughter, Wang Mo, you think just like your old man!" Wang Shusheng laughed triumphantly.

Looking at the equally twisted father and daughter, Li Qiuhua's hair stood on end.

The gazes of the three people fell squarely on Su Yan.

Next, she should be reaping what she sowed, begging for mercy in misery!

"Have you all really decided? To kill me to silence me?" Su Yan didn't even take a step back. Instead of fear, her tone was exceptionally calm.

However, in the eyes of Wang Shusheng and Su Mo, her reaction was clearly just the last gasp of a dying flame, a mere facade of composure.
