Chapter 45: So Brave That It Hurts

These bodyguards looked like they had only kicked the three, but they were all professionals. How could ordinary people endure such a move?

Su Juntao rolled on the floor three or four times. Not only was he covered in bruises, but a few of his fingers were also broken.

Wang Rong was in an even worse state. Her head almost hit the floor, and she was nearly disfigured. Her mouth was filled with blood, and her front teeth were broken.

Su Ning was not injured, but she was covered in dust. She was an enchanting beauty, but her makeup was smudged. She had lost one of her high heels, and the other one was broken. She walked with a limp and was in a sorry state.

It was unknown if Su Ning was too immersed in her role. At this point, she still wanted to walk back after getting up. After being stopped by the bodyguards, she stood on her toes and waved her remaining shoe. She shouted at Su Yu with a look of grievance, “Sister, Sister, I believe in you. You have to believe me!”

Su Yu’s expression was cold. She was not even interested in turning around and ignored her.

Wang Rong covered her mouth and looked at Su Yu’s back with resentment. Although she did not say anything, her overflowing hatred was about to materialize.

Su Juntao’s expression was dark. He did not expect Su Yu to be so determined. He originally thought that his daughter was just a little disobedient, but it seemed that she had grown up and did not take him, her father, seriously at all.

Su Yu and Pei Tianlin walked into the courtyard, opened the door, and entered the villa.

Su Yu blamed herself. She should have just let the car drive in and not given Su Juntao and the others a chance.

It was not the first time that Su Juntao had disappointed her. She even knew in her heart that Su Juntao was not worthy of trust. However, she could not help but have some unrealistic hopes in her heart. She just yearned for a little kinship.

Even if it was just a little bit, she was willing to pay any price.

However, she was deceived time and time again. From her father to her sister, their betrayals had already left her heart filled with scars.

Her heart could not tolerate more betrayals!

Initially, she thought that she would be very sad if she completely fell out with Su Juntao and drew a clear line between them.

However, after what happened, her heart felt an unprecedented calm.

“Although we’re related by blood, there’s no longer any kinship between us. Even though I know that everything was just a delusion, I don’t feel disappointed after losing him. That’s how I’m feeling now.”

Actually, this father-daughter relationship had ended long ago. She just did not want to admit it!

Pei Tianlin followed behind her in silence.

In the eyes of outsiders, they might think that Su Yu was just an embarrassment, but in his eyes, Su Yu was very brave. She was so brave that his heart ached for her.

Su Yu adjusted her breathing, and the frost on her face instantly melted. She turned around and revealed a warm smile.

Pei Tianlin’s heart trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

He pulled Su Yu into his arms and whispered into her ear, “Don’t be so strong and brave. It’ll make me look very useless!”

Su Yu’s emotions, which she had forcibly calmed down, instantly surged. Her eyes were filled with tears. She hugged Pei Tianlin tightly and cried silently.

Pei Tianlin patted her back gently and did not say anything. However, he allowed her to vent her grievances in his arms.

To Su Yu, a warm hug at this moment was worth more than anything.

After a long time, Su Yu finally calmed down and said softly, “I heard that the Lin and Pei families in the capital are close and the Lin family is valued by the Pei family. They’re really powerful. Will it cause negative repercussions on you?”

“The Pei family in the capital?” A look of confusion flashed across Pei Tianlin’s eyes.

What did his family have to do with the Lin family? Why was there no news at all?

“That’s right! The Pei family is one of the top families in the capital! I heard that Lin Tianhao’s sister, Lin Yuchen, is engaged to a member of the Pei family. The Pei family will probably support the Lin family.”

The Pei family was a top-notch family in the capital. They had many members, ranging from those in the direct line of descent to those in the branch families. They had countless distant relatives.

As a direct descendant of the Pei family, Pei Tianlin had actually not heard of this matter. This meant that this person who was engaged to the Lin family was definitely not important.

The bigger the family, the more complicated their internal relationships were. It was normal for there to be a mix of good and bad people.

There were many people who were showing off using the name of the Pei family.

“You’re often out doing things. If you encounter anyone from the Pei family, avoid them as much as possible to avoid being implicated by me.”

Su Yu had once suspected Pei Tianlin’s identity, but from the various signs, Pei Tianlin should not be related to the Pei family in the capital. Otherwise, as a local, it was impossible for news to not have spread.

Pei Tianlin replied, “I will!”

He naturally did not care even if someone came to look for him, but because of Su Yu, he agreed readily.
