Returning to the villa, Su Chen ignored the furious glares from Su Zhenxing and the others and headed straight to the third floor, carrying his woven bag over his shoulder. He needed to safely store the treasures he had collected—these weren’t just random things from the trash, they were his money, his assets, and soon, they would be sent to his loyal livestream viewers.
He had to be careful. Otherwise, someone might try to ruin them.
Su Zhenxing and the others were livid. They had been waiting for Su Chen for so long, first outside, and now even inside the house, yet he didn’t even bother to acknowledge them.
This was outright defiance!
Fueled by rage, they followed him up to the third floor, storming into his bedroom.
The moment Su Mu stepped into what was once his study, now Su Chen’s bedroom, his expression twisted with resentment.
But no one paid attention to him—everyone’s focus was on Su Chen.
Watching him carefully place down the items he had collected, not sparing them even a glance, Su Zhenxing’s fury exploded.
“Su Chen!”
“You disgraceful brat!”
“Throw away that garbage right now!”
“You ungrateful wretch! Do you have any idea how much you’ve embarrassed this family?!”
Liu Yanran chimed in, frowning in disapproval.
“Su Chen, you are the son of Haishi’s wealthiest family now!”
“You’re not an orphan anymore!”
“You can’t just do whatever you want without thinking about the reputation of the Su family!”
Su Qiqi looked at Su Chen with absolute disdain, her voice dripping with ridicule.
“Su Chen, you’ve completely humiliated the Su family!”
“I guess growing up in an orphanage really does make you shameless!”
“You even pick up other people’s trash!”
“This is so embarrassing!”
She waved a hand in front of her nose with a disgusted expression.
“Ew, it stinks in here!”
Su Mu, however, put on an empathetic look.
“Brother, you don’t understand how important the Su family’s reputation is. That’s why you made such a mistake.”
“You should hurry up and throw that garbage away and apologize to Mom and Dad.”
Having safely placed his treasures aside, Su Chen finally turned around and looked at them.
These buzzing flies were starting to get on his nerves.
He had spent the whole morning digging through trash—he didn’t want to waste energy swatting pests now.
His gaze landed on Su Qiqi first.
“A thief has no right to speak.”
Su Qiqi’s face turned red with anger, and she was about to lash out at him.
But Su Chen didn’t give her the chance.
His eyes shifted to Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanran, completely ignoring Su Mu.
“Don’t talk to me about reputation.”
“As far as I’m concerned, money is worth more than reputation!”
“Without money, people die. Without reputation? You just get mocked.”
Su Zhenxing was so furious that he nearly lost consciousness. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“You ungrateful brat!”
“The Su family has given you everything!”
“You don’t lack food, clothes, or money! Yet you dare say that money is more important than our family’s reputation?!”
Su Chen cut him off immediately.
“Exactly! That’s right!”
“In this family, I lack clothes and lack money!”
“Otherwise, why would I be out picking up trash to sell?”
Su Zhenxing’s expression grew darker.
What nonsense was Su Chen spouting?!
To avoid taking responsibility for embarrassing the family, he was making up lies now?
Before he could say anything, Su Chen took out all of his clothes and threw them in front of him.
“Look for yourself!”
“This is everything I own in this house.”
“Tell me—is this not lacking clothes?!”
Su Zhenxing had been about to shout in anger, but the sight of the clothes stopped him cold.
Two faded and frayed school uniforms fluttered down before him.
That was it.
Nothing else.
His fury momentarily turned into shock.
He turned to Su Chen, his voice laced with disbelief.
“Su Chen, stop joking around!”
“You expect me to believe these are the only clothes you own?!”
Still in denial, he turned to Liu Yanran, hoping she would prove him right.
“Isn’t that right, Yanran?!”
“Su Chen can’t possibly only have two school uniforms, right?!”
Su Zhenxing had never paid much attention to household matters—Liu Yanran had always handled everything.
Thinking back, he had only ever seen Su Chen in his school uniform. But he assumed it was just because Su Chen liked wearing them.
Now Su Chen was saying that was all he had?
That was impossible.
He wanted confirmation from Liu Yanran.
But Liu Yanran didn’t answer.
Her face was filled with embarrassment.
She didn’t confirm his suspicions.
She didn’t deny them either.
She just stood there, silent.
But her reaction told him everything.
Liu Yanran never bought Su Chen any clothes. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
This was her own biological son.
And she never even got him proper clothing.
Su Zhenxing’s eyes widened in disbelief.
However, now wasn’t the time to argue with Liu Yanran.
He needed to suppress Su Chen’s defiance first.
Glaring at her for a moment, he then turned back to Su Chen, his tone sharp.
“You’re a grown man now!”
“You should buy your own clothes!”
“You get an allowance! What else are you spending it on?!”
“Or are you telling me you just waste it all on eating and playing around?!”
Su Chen let out a cold laugh.
So he hadn’t been listening to a single thing Su Chen just said?
“Allowance?”
“In all my time in this house, I’ve never seen a single cent of allowance.”
“In fact, my life was better at the orphanage than in this so-called home.”
“At the orphanage, every time the seasons changed, they gave us new clothes.”
“Every month, the government provided us with a few hundred yuan to live on.”
“But here? No clothes. No money.”
“Honestly, if I had known this was how it would be, I would have stayed at the orphanage.”
“My quality of life was better there.”
Su Zhenxing’s face turned red with fury.
Su Chen was actually saying that the Su family—Haishi’s wealthiest family—was worse than an orphanage?!
“Su Chen! Watch your mouth!”
“Every child in the Su family gets an allowance!”
“Even your older sisters—who already have jobs—still get tens of thousands of yuan every month!”
“How could you possibly have nothing?!”
As he spoke, his rage-filled gaze turned to Liu Yanran.
“Yanran! Tell him!”
“How much allowance does Su Chen get every month? Say it out loud!”
“I want to hear what excuse he comes up with next!”
Liu Yanran opened her mouth but couldn’t form any words.
Her gaze wavered.
Her face turned pale.
She didn’t answer.
At that moment, Su Zhenxing felt a deep sense of dread.
Could it be…?
Had Liu Yanran not only failed to buy Su Chen clothes…
But also never given him an allowance?!
