"This..."
Su Jiancheng glanced at the A4 paper and hesitated, "These documents were sent by Wenchao. Maybe he deliberately brought a fake set to scare us."
Self-consolation!
That's all Su Jiancheng could do right now.
Su Wenchao was Su Jianguo's son and Su Muqiu's cousin. It was said that he personally asked someone to investigate the backgrounds of those prisoners at Quancheng No. 4 Prison and finally chose Xiao Zhan.
"I must have been blind to marry a useless man like you!"
Liu Hongxiu was almost fainting from Su Jiancheng's self-deception, her scolding grew fiercer, and tears fell like rain.
Su Muqiu sat dumbfounded beside them, silent, as if her soul had left her body, yet her body trembled slightly. Su Jiancheng saw this and felt an ache in his heart, his hands gripping his unfeeling thighs, overwhelmed with pain.
"Mom, stop scolding. It's useless."
After a moment, Su Muqiu took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "If it's fortune, it's not a disaster; if it's a disaster, you can't avoid it. This is my fate, I accept it! It's just an engagement, nothing to make a fuss about!"
"Muqiu, you..."
Liu Hongxiu wanted to say more but stopped, her heart aching as if cut by a knife.
Five years ago, having a child out of wedlock had already put too much pressure on Su Muqiu, subjected her to too much disdain. No one understood better than her mother how Su Muqiu had endured these five years.
In front of others, Su Muqiu always appeared strong, but in the quiet of the night, she would hide in her room and cry secretly.
With time, the scandal of having a child out of wedlock gradually faded, and the family's life got back on track. Su Muqiu had worked at the Su Group for two years, achieving remarkable results with her extraordinary abilities.
Yet now, a blow from above!
They were pushing Su Muqiu to the brink!
The stronger Su Muqiu appeared, the more Liu Hongxiu's heart ached.
"Mom, where's Mengmeng?"
Forcing a smile, Su Muqiu changed the subject. Only when talking about her daughter could she smile.
"She's playing at the hotel entrance."
Liu Hongxiu wiped her tears and sighed, "Mengmeng is still young. This kind of occasion isn't suitable for her. I'm afraid it will leave her with a psychological shadow."
"Mm."
Su Muqiu nodded, deeply agreeing.
Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open. Su Wenchao appeared at the doorway, glanced inside, and upon seeing the tear-streaked faces of Su Muqiu's family, his face lit up with joy. He said mockingly, "Oh, today is my cousin's big day. Why are Uncle and Aunt crying? Tears of joy?"
"You!"
Liu Hongxiu glared at Su Wenchao, gritting her teeth, "Get out!"
"Aunt, what kind of attitude is this?"

Su Wenchao held back his laughter, put on a serious face, and complained, "I went through a lot of trouble, asking friends to investigate at Quancheng No. 4 Prison for a long time, and finally found such an excellent husband for my cousin. As the matchmaker for my cousin and her fiancé, you should be grateful to me, not telling me to get out. That doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"
A petty man reveling in others' misfortune!
"I'll strangle you!"
Already filled with righteous indignation, Liu Hongxiu couldn't stand Su Wenchao's provocation. In a fit of rage, she lunged at him, reaching to strangle his neck, scratching and clawing at him.
"Mom!"
Su Muqiu jumped up, trying to stop her, but she was a step too late.
"Get off!"
Su Wenchao waved his hand, pushing Liu Hongxiu away. She lost her balance, stumbled a few steps, and fell onto the cold floor.
Looking down at the furious Liu Hongxiu, Su Wenchao adjusted his tie, which had been pulled askew, and sneered, "Grandfather asked me to inform you that your fiancé has left the prison and is on his way to the hotel. You three should go to the hotel lobby to attend the engagement ceremony later..."
"Su Wenchao, you bastard!"
Su Muqiu rushed over to help Liu Hongxiu up, cursing at Su Wenchao.
"Bastard?"
Meeting Su Muqiu's cold gaze, Su Wenchao wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled even more brightly, proudly saying, "My cousin knows me well. Yes, I'm a bastard. What, not convinced? Come and bite me."
"You!"
Su Muqiu was filled with murderous intent.
"Be fiercer, even fiercer. I love seeing your family hate me to the bone yet being unable to do anything about it. Haha, hahaha..."
With unrestrained laughter, Su Wenchao turned to leave, "Isn't my cousin's work ability strong? Didn't she secure several big contracts for the group? Now that she's marrying a rapist, let's see who dares to cooperate with you from now on!"
The tears Su Muqiu had been holding back finally couldn't be contained anymore. They rolled down, wetting her fair cheeks.
How could she not know? It was precisely because of her outstanding performance at the Su Group over the past two years that Su Wenchao felt threatened. He feared the Old Master would value her abilities and change his attitude towards her. That's why he resorted to underhanded tactics, slandering her to the Old Master, and hastily arranged such a marriage for her...
...
Outside Junhuang Grand Hotel.
A dark green jeep slowly stopped. The major general driving glanced at the hotel and asked, "Wolf King, should I deploy troops to surround the entire hotel?"
"A bunch of ants, no need for the Wolf King to take action."
Xiao Zhan shook his head.
"Remember, I have officially retired. I'm no longer the so-called Northern Wolf King. This is a personal matter. You don't need to get involved. This is a bustling area. If you deploy troops, are you trying to cause panic?"
With that, he turned and got out of the car.
"I..."
The major general's face darkened, his tone firm, "No matter when or where, the eighty-one brothers of the Blood Wolf Regiment, trained by the Wolf King himself, will always follow the Wolf King's lead!"
His voice was sonorous, neither humble nor arrogant!
"Get lost. If I need anything, I'll contact you." Xiao Zhan strode towards the Junhuang Grand Hotel across the street, waving his hand without looking back.
"Yes!"
The major general stepped on the gas, and the jeep quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
Luxury cars lined both sides of the entrance.
Xiao Zhan walked straight to the hotel entrance, about to go in, when he suddenly paused, his ears twitching slightly, catching a faint sound of anxious crying, "Let go, you bad guys. I want to find my mom. Let my mom come and teach you a lesson..."
It was a little girl's voice.
Looking for her mom?
Xiao Zhan's brows furrowed slightly. Perhaps because Su Muqiu had given him a daughter, he was now very sensitive to the voices of little girls.
So, he took a few steps back, following the sound to look across.
At the corner of the hotel, at the mouth of an alley, seven or eight little boys were holding hands, forming a circle, trapping a little girl in the middle. They spun around her, singing, "Su Xiaomeng, little wild child! Born with a mother, raised without a father! Grandpa's a wimp, broke his leg in a car crash! Grandma's an ugly hag, crying while buying groceries..."
They sang in unison, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand.
Su Xiaomeng!
Hearing this name, Xiao Zhan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if something had struck it hard, and his face instantly turned cold as ice.
