Chapter 3 Su Family Was in Danger At eight o’clock in the evening, in Su family’s villa. At this moment, the atmosphere in the living room was dead, and the entire Su family was in a panic. “Mom, everything has been examined; it was Long Zhanli, the Long family’s third young master, who re-investigated the accident that happened a year ago and discovered that the driver was a woman, so he went after our Su family and compelled us to hand over the driver.” Su Guichu said with a serious face. A year ago, Su Chunyu drove her car under the influence and bumped the Long family’s patriarch, Long Qiaozhi, into a vegetative state. Later, the Su family paid a large sum of money to make the case go away, and Chen Fan took over Su Chunyu’s place to be a prisoner for a year before settling the matter. At that time, the Long family was only a third-rate family, and the Su family was already a second-rate aristocratic family. Under the Su family’s influence, the Long family could only accept this private mediation. However, a month ago, because of Long Zhanli’s return, the Long family’s strength skyrocketed overnight, becoming a top aristocratic family that was above the Su family. “Half a year ago, Long Zhanli made great achievements in the frontier, so he was promoted to a lieutenant, and his military power was second only to the commander and deputy commander of the three armies.” A trace of despair appeared on Su Guichu’s face as he continued, “This time, he has returned to his hometown and is determined to deal with our Su family. If we don’t hand over the culprit, I’m afraid that he will use his power to suppress our family’s business!” Old Madam Su wailed, “For Long family to have a true dragon like Long Zhanli, it is really my fate!” “Yang Master Xiao, you have to save me. I don’t want to go to jail, and our son can’t afford to lose his mother!” Su Chunyu grabbed Xiao Long’s arm tightly and pleaded pitifully. “Yang Master Xiao, for the sake of Zhuge, you have to save my granddaughter no matter what!” Old Madam Su also appealed. Su Guichu and his wife also looked at Xiao Long with a look of longing. The entire Su family is relying on you, Xiao Long.

Chapter 3 Su Family Was in Danger “Chunyu, don’t worry. I will undoubtedly help you.” Xiao Long said, “The only way at the moment is to find another scapegoat.” He stared at Su Guichu as he spoke and asked, “You have an illegitimate daughter, don’t you Uncle Su? Let her and that scumbag Chen Fan share the responsibility. All we have to do now is prove that Su Jiaobai and Chen Fan conspired and hurt Old Master Long that night.” “If we follow this plan, it won’t involve Chunyu. Then, the Xiao family will mediate. I believe that the Long family will give my father some regard.” Su Chunyu’s eyes immediately lit up. She said in surprise, “Yes, yes, yes. Let Su Jiaobai take the blame for me.” Old Madam Su immediately made the decision. “It’s decided. Guichu, the Su family has raised that bitch for so many years. It’s time for her to contribute to the family.” Although Su Guichu felt a little guilty, this was the only way he could help his daughter, Chunyu, to successfully take over Su family’s company. A ruthless look flashed through his eyes, and he replied, “Yes, Mom. I will ask her to come tomorrow morning.” At nine o’clock the next morning, Chen Fan, who came to the Civil Affairs Bureau, did not see Su Chunyu as she had promised. However, he received a call from her, asking him to come back to the Su family’s home. Not long after, Chen Fan arrived at the Su family’s residence. As soon as he entered the door, Su Chunyu said to him arrogantly, “Chen Fan, you do like me, don’t you? Are you willing to do anything for me? Alright, I’ll give you a chance to prove it now. As long as you take the blame for me again, I won’t divorce you. I will also let you be Zhuge’s step-father.” “After you come out from there, we, the Su family, will take care of you for a lifetime. You will not wander on the streets and be homeless.” Su Chunyu looked as if she was certain that Chen Fan would cave in. She sneered in her heart. How could she let this trash be her child’s father? She did this simply to stabilize him and make him willingly take the blame for her again. He might not be able to escape alive from the Long family’s hands! The Su family and the others looked at Chen Fan with a condescending look, as if Chen Fan would die if he left them. Chen Fan’s cold gaze swept over the family and the others. He laughed and said,

Chapter 3 Su Family Was in Danger “Su Chunyu. I no longer have anything to do with you, so I won’t interfere with your matters anymore. Do you think you are worthy of letting a bastard be my son?” “Don’t be so brazen, Chen Fan. You will be like a stray dog if you leave our Su family. You will not be able to stay in Yunhai City!” Zhao Lan pointed at Chen Fan’s nose and screamed. “You trash, if this family had not taken care of you all these years, would you stand here and talk nonsense?” Su Guichu snapped, “To make you the father of the Su family’s future successor is already a great gift to you. Don’t be ignorant of what’s good for you.” “Chen Fan, if you know what’s good for you, then obediently follow Su Jiaobai to the Long family for their verdict. Otherwise, once the Long family comes to get you, you will die without a burial place!” Xiao Long threatened. Chen Fan suddenly understood and sneered, “Your family has eyes but failed to see Mount Tai. You still want to play the same old trick again. It is really ridiculous. Su Chunyu, from now on, you and I are no longer husband and wife. Even if your Su family goes perishes tomorrow, I will absolutely not be moved!” After that, he lifted his foot and walked towards the door. “Stop right there!” Old Madam Su shouted, “Did I ask you to go? Before I agree on this divorce, you are still this family’s live-in son-in-law!” As soon as she finished her words, several Su family guards rushed in from the door and blocked Chen Fan’s way. The momentum of Chen Fan suddenly changed, and his eyes became extremely sharp. “You dare to stop me, Chen Fan, with just a few ants?” At this moment, the Su family’s housekeeper came in with a woman. This woman wore a gauze hat on her head to cover her face. Chen Fan had seen her several times but had never seen her face clearly. When Chen Fan saw her timid back, for some reason, he felt a sense of deja vu. It was more than the first time he had this inexplicable feeling. “Jiaobai, haven’t you always wanted to work in the family business and do your best for Su family?” Su Guichu said, “As long as you agree to one condition of mine, I will agree for you to work in the company.” When Su Jiaobai heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly. She said in a 3/4

Chapter 3 Su Family Was in Danger trembling voice, “Dad, is this true?” All along, Su Jiaobai felt that she was a burden to the Su family. She even felt that the Su family had raised her for so many years, and every time she did something that humiliated them, she would feel unworthy of being the family’s
Second Miss. “Jiaobai, now that your sister is in trouble, as long as you are willing to stand up and take the blame for her, you will become the Su family’s hero. As long as you are willing, you can enter Su family’s business at any time.” Zhao Lan added. “Take the blame?” Su Jiaobai was obviously stunned. Although she felt inferior, her desire to survive was stronger than anyone else. Since it was taking the blame, that meant going to jail. She felt that she was too ugly and would definitely be bullied if she went to jail. Biting her lips tightly, she gathered her courage and said timidly, “Mom, I, I don’t want to go to jail!”
