Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

The old man was in the mood to joke as soon as he woke up; he's definitely a generous and easygoing person.

Su Yue burst into laughter through her tears and said coquettishly.

"Grandpa! I was so worried, and you're making fun of me!"

Su Dongshan then noticed Qin Luo standing to the side, his eyes gleaming.

"Young man, did you save me?"

Qin Luo nodded modestly.

"Grandpa Su, you flatter me. I was just doing my duty."

"Good! Good!"

Su Dongshan said "good" twice and suddenly threw off the covers to get out of bed.

Su Yue quickly helped him up, but was surprised to find that her grandfather's movements were steady and strong, not at all like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.

When Su Dongshan stood up straight, he was actually half a head taller than Qin Luo.

He looked Qin Luo up and down, then suddenly reached out and patted Qin Luo's shoulder heavily.

"Young man, you're capable! You gave this old man his life, so from now on you're my benefactor, Su Dongshan!"

The slap was quite forceful, but Qin Luo didn't budge, only smiled slightly.

"Grandpa Su, you're too kind. Yue'er and I are friends, it's only right that we do this."

"friend?"

Su Dongshan narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Qin Luo and his granddaughter, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Good! What a good 'friend'!"

Su Yue's face flushed red, and she stomped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance.

"grandfather!"

Su Dongshan laughed louder, but quickly stopped and said seriously.

"Qin Luo, right? I've lived most of my life and I've never misjudged anyone. I'm at ease entrusting Yue'er to you."

As he spoke, his face suddenly darkened.

"But let me make this clear from the start: if I find out you're treating her badly..."

Qin Luo met Su Dongshan's gaze with neither arrogance nor servility.

"Grandpa Su, don't worry, I will protect Yue'er with my life."

These words were spoken with absolute certainty, and Su Yue's heart trembled upon hearing them. She looked up at Qin Luo's profile and felt her heart race.

Su Dongshan nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly changed the subject.

"By the way, what's wrong with me? It doesn't feel like a normal illness."

Qin Luo and Su Yue exchanged a glance.

Su Yue bit her lip.

"Grandpa, you've been bewitched."

"what?"

Su Dongshan's expression froze instantly, his eyes flashing with a terrifying cold light.

"insanity?"

Qin Luo explained.

"It's a flying black poison that's been lurking in your body for at least a month. The person who cast the poison is very skilled; ordinary medical equipment can't detect it at all."

Su Dongshan's face was terribly gloomy, and his fists clenched involuntarily, his knuckles making a "crackling" sound.

"It was exactly one month ago, during the family meeting."

He suddenly strode towards the ward door, exuding a chilling murderous aura.

"Grandpa! Where are you going?"

Su Yue hurriedly chased after her.

Su Dongshan didn't turn his head, his voice as cold as ice.

"Clean house."

Qin Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood. Su Dongshan was going to find the traitor within the family! It seemed that the Su family was about to undergo a major upheaval.

The moment Su Dongshan pushed open the door, the entire Su family hall seemed to be muted.

"dad!"

Su Dahai and Zhang Feng'e exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their faces filled with unbelievable joy.

They rushed to the old man, and Zhang Feng'e was so moved that she wiped away tears.

I stood beside Su Yue, coldly observing this human comedy.

As the one who can remove the poison, I know best how dangerous the poison in Su Dongshan's body is. It is a rare "heart-devouring poison" in the southern border region, and anyone who is poisoned by it will die of heart and lung failure within three months.

If it weren't for the "True Explanation of Gu Poison" left by my master, I'm afraid I would have been helpless.

"Mr. Qin, I am deeply grateful and cannot express my thanks."

Su Dongshan cupped his hands in greeting to me, his voice so loud it didn't sound like a patient at all.

He was wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit, his silver hair was neatly combed, and when his hawk-like eyes swept across the hall, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

"You're too kind, Mr. Su."

I nodded slightly, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed that Su Dahe, who was standing in the corner, had an uncertain expression on his face.

The second young master of the Su family, dressed in a suit and with his slicked-back hair, was glaring at me with murderous eyes.

"Second brother, why aren't you happy that Dad is better?"

Su Dahai asked in a simple and honest manner, which drew the attention of everyone.

Su Dahe's expression froze, then he forced a fake smile onto his face.

"Brother, you're joking. I'm just too happy to speak."

He quickly stepped forward and grasped Su Dongshan's hand.

"Dad, it's so wonderful that you've recovered! I haven't been able to eat or drink these past few days, I've been looking forward to this day!"

I almost burst out laughing.

He's lost his appetite? I saw him at a high-end club yesterday, surrounded by women on either side.

"is it?"

Su Dongshan gave his second son a meaningful look.

"That was really hard for you."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subtle.

The servants lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound, while the family members exchanged glances.

Just then, a flurry of footsteps came from the side hall.

"Catch her!"

Su Dongshan suddenly shouted.

Li darted out like a cheetah and caught up with the woman who was trying to escape in just a few steps.

He grabbed her by the back of her collar and dragged her back like a chick.

"Sir, spare my life!"

The woman was thrown onto the marble floor, her knees bruised and red.

She was in her early thirties, wearing a well-tailored cheongsam, her exquisitely made-up face filled with terror.

I squinted.

I've seen this woman before; she's Wu Li, the housekeeper of the Su family. I heard she's worked for the Su family for seven or eight years.

"Wu Li, why are you running?"

Su Yue questioned him coldly, her high heels clicking crisply on the ground.

Wu Li trembled all over, her nails, painted with red nail polish, digging deeply into her palms.

"I... I just suddenly remembered there was soup simmering in the kitchen."

"fart!"

Su Dongshan's loud shout startled Wu Li so much that she collapsed to the ground.

"I'm not dead yet, and you're already in a hurry to make funeral arrangements?"

The hall was completely silent.

I noticed fine beads of sweat on Su Dahe's forehead, and his right hand unconsciously stroking the cufflinks of his suit.

"Grandpa, what's going on?"

Su Yue helped the old man up, her gaze piercing Wu Li like a knife.

Su Dongshan sneered.

"Do you really think I have lung disease?"

He suddenly ripped open his collar, revealing the eerie black spot on his chest that had faded.

"This is the Heart-Eating Gu from Southern Xinjiang! Someone wants my life!"

"what?!"

Su Dahai's face turned deathly pale.

"Dad, you mean..."

"That's right, it was this bitch who poisoned them!"

Su Dongshan kicked Wu Li in the shoulder, sending her tumbling over.

"Mr. Qin has already determined that the poison was put in the ginseng tea that I drink every day!"

Wu Li got up with disheveled hair, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

"It wasn't me! Your Honor, how could I dare?"

"Shut up!"

Su Yue interrupted sharply.

"You've always prepared the ginseng tea yourself. Who else could it be but you?"

She turned to me.

"Qin Luo, you speak." All eyes turned to me.

I slowly took a small porcelain bottle out of my pocket.

"These are Gu worms extracted from Old Master Su's body, and they have been soaked in a special medicinal solution."

I shook the bottle, and the dark stuff inside rolled around.

"The Heart-Eating Gu requires continuous poisoning for thirty days to take effect, and the poisoner must be in contact with the victim every day."

"You bullshit!"

Wu Li suddenly screamed.

"Clearly only three days"

She quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late.

A cold glint flashed in Su Dongshan's eyes.

"Oh? How do you know it will take effect in three days? This isn't mentioned in 'The True Explanation of Gu Poison'."

Wu Li's face was ashen, and she trembled like a leaf.

I noticed that her left hand was always protecting her lower abdomen, where there was a barely perceptible bulge.

"Little Li."

Su Dongshan called out softly.

The bodyguard understood, stepped forward, and swung his arm to deliver a slap.

With a sharp "smack," half of Wu Li's face immediately swelled up.

"Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

Su Dongshan leaned down and grabbed her chin.

No, nobody's there.

Wu Li's mouth was full of blood, and she could barely speak.

"Keep fighting."

Xiao Li's slaps fell like raindrops, and Wu Li was soon left with a bruised and swollen face.

Several women turned their faces away, not daring to look, but no one dared to speak up and dissuade them.

"Dad, is this right?"

Su Dahai was stopped by his wife as soon as he opened his mouth.

"you shut up!"

Zhang Feng'e lowered her voice.

"That bitch almost killed the old man!"

When she received the eighth slap, Wu Li finally couldn't take it anymore.

"I confess! I confess everything! It's two!"

Her gaze suddenly swept past the crowd and landed in a certain direction, her pupils contracting sharply.

"stop!"

Su Dahe suddenly rushed out and shoved Xiao Li aside.

"Dad, stop hitting her! She's carrying my child!"

The crystal chandelier in the hall flickered suddenly, as if it too was shocked by the unexpected news and lost its composure.

Su Dahe's voice still echoed in the air, but it had already plunged the entire banquet hall into a deathly silence.

"What did you say?"

Qin Hongmei's voice was so sharp it almost pierced eardrums, and her fingers, painted with bright red nail polish, trembled as she pointed at Wu Li's slightly protruding belly.

"This bitch is pregnant with your child?"

Wu Li subconsciously took a half step back, her face, which usually always wore an elegant smile, was now completely drained of color.

She was once the recognized beauty queen of the business school, rejecting the advances of countless rich second-generation men. Who would have thought that she would have an affair with Su Dahe, who was nearly fifty years old?

The champagne glass in Su Yue's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," shards of glass flying everywhere.

She stared wide-eyed at her respected second uncle, then at her once most trusted best friend, a wave of nausea rising in her stomach.

"Second Uncle, you and Wu Li?"

Su Yue's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

Su Dahe did not answer his niece, but instead gave his furious wife a cold glance.

"Qin Hongmei, watch your words. If you want to continue being Mrs. Su, shut up."

"Do you threaten me?"

Qin Hongmei burst into hysterical laughter, her carefully styled hair now disheveled.

"Su Dahe, you ungrateful bastard! I've been with you for twenty years, and this is how you treat me?"

Su Dahe straightened his suit cuffs, his tone eerily calm.

"Divorce is fine, but you won't get a single penny. Remember the prenuptial agreement? You were the one who added the clause that the cheating party would leave with nothing."

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Qin Hongmei's head.

She opened her mouth, then suddenly realized something and abruptly turned to Wu Li.

"It was you! You took him home after that business dinner, and that's when you two started dating."

Wu Li lowered her head, her fingers tightly intertwined.

She dared not look into Su Yue's eyes, nor dared she look at Su Dongshan's ashen face.

"enough!"

Su Dongshan slammed his hand on the table, the nearly eighty-year-old man trembling with anger.

"Dahe, you've disappointed me so much! You've caused such a disgraceful scene at Yueyue's engagement party. Are you trying to ruin this family?"

Su Dahe suddenly laughed, a laugh that made Su Yue feel both unfamiliar and frightened.

He slowly took out a cigar from his inner pocket and lit it in full view of everyone.

"Dad, since we're talking about disappointment..."

Su Dahe exhaled a smoke ring.

"Then why don't you tell me how you disappointed me?"

Su Dahai finally snapped out of his shock and rushed forward to grab his younger brother by the collar.

"Are you crazy? How dare you talk to your father like that!"

Su Dahe gently pushed his brother's hand away, his eyes filled with malice.

"Brother, you'd better not get involved in this. After all..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"After all, I haven't finished explaining about the poisoning yet."

This statement was like a bomb exploding in the crowd.

Su Dahai suddenly took a step back, staring at his younger brother in disbelief.

"What did you say? You're the one who put the curse on Dad?"

"Yes."

Su Dahe flicked his cigarette ash, his tone as relaxed as if he were discussing the weather.

“I asked Wu Li to find a Gu master from Miao territory, and I also arranged for someone to put the Gu in Dad’s tea.”

Su Yue felt her legs go weak and had to hold onto the table to keep her balance.

She looked at Wu Li, her voice trembling.

"So...you approached me for this reason."

Wu Li finally raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.

"Yueyue, I'm sorry. But I've really fallen in love with Dahe, and we are."

"Shut up!"

Su Yue interrupted her sharply, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You took advantage of my trust just to help him go against Grandpa?"

Su Dongshan staggered, and Su Dahai quickly helped his father up.

The wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to deepen, and he pointed tremblingly at his second son.

"Why? Taihe, I am your biological father!"

"why?"

Su Dahe suddenly raised his voice, and the calm mask on his face finally shattered.

"Because I've contributed the most to the group! In the past twenty years, I've increased the market value of Su's Group tenfold! I've opened up the Southeast Asian market! And what about you? You're going to hand all of this over to a young girl!"

He suddenly pointed at Su Yue, who trembled at the hatred in his eyes.

"What does she have? Just because she's your most beloved granddaughter? Just because her dead father was your most beloved son?"

Su Dahe's voice grew increasingly shrill.

"Once she gets married, the Su family will change its surname! Have you thought about that?"

Su Dongshan was breathing heavily, tears streaming down his face.

"So...so you want me to die?"

"I didn't want you to die."

Su Dahe suddenly calmed down and stubbed out his cigar.

"I just want to prevent you from managing the group's affairs for the time being. Once I have all the shares, I will naturally find someone to remove the curse."

Qin Hongmei let out a harsh, cold laugh.

"Su Dahe, you are the most despicable person I have ever met."

Su Dahe didn't even glance at her, and continued speaking to his father.

“Last Friday, Wu Li overheard your conversation with your lawyer. You planned to announce at today’s banquet that you would hand over the group to Su Yue and transfer 21% of your shares to her.”

Su Yue looked at her grandfather in shock. (End of Chapter)
