Chapter 908 - : Pay for One’s Own Mistake
Chapter 908: Pay for One’s Own Mistake
Uncle Qian’s heart skipped a beat. He forced himself to remain calm and replied respectfully, “Young Master Chi, you’re joking. I had simply told the truth.”
“Uncle Qian, tell me the truth. I can plead with the Old Master for leniency and not kick you out.” Su Chi’s eyes were cold. He had not expected the Su Family to have raised such a thing. He had completely lost the face of their Su Family!
If he had spoken the truth a long time ago, no one would have blamed him. However, he did not know if he had been muddle-headed or what to actually frame someone else.
“I don’t know what Young Master Chi is talking about.” Uncle Qian’s eyes flickered, and he did not dare raise his head.
“Is that so? Baby Qian has already confessed. Do you want me to bring him over for you to take a look?” Su Chi’s face was cold. He was young, but his aura was not weak.
Ling Sheng’s eyes were full of praise. His innate bearing was really something that ordinary people could not compare to.
“Young Master Chi, it’s my fault. It’s all my fault. It’s not Baby Qian’s fault.” Uncle Qian knelt on the ground with a thud. He could not take it anymore.
Uncle Qian confessed about what had happened. He had not looked after his son, Baby Qian, properly so the latter released General. When he had hurried over to find the dog, he saw that something had already happened.
The people who had gotten into trouble were not just anyone else, but the two most precious ladies of the Su Family. He was afraid that they would be kicked out of the Su Family if he told the truth. Coincidentally, he had heard the conversation between Su Cunshi and the others, who suspected that Huo Xuanzhou had deliberately planned this. That was why he had made the decision to frame Huo Xuanzhou.
Anyway, Huo Xuanzhou’s reputation could not be any worse. Everyone in the capital knew what kind of person he was. No one would suspect even if he said he had done it. Besides, he happened to be wearing a red scarf too. Everything was logical.
After Uncle Qian told them the whole story, the Su Family members wore different expressions. They had wronged someone and were too embarrassed to look at Huo Xuanzhou.
Huo Xiao frowned and looked at Su Cunshi. How ridiculous. “Eldest Brother, I know that Ah Zhou is a scumbag too, but you’ve wronged him on this matter. You have to give him an explanation!”
He finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It was good that he had not done it. If he had really done it, he would have beaten that brat to death, let alone the Su Family!
Huo Ci gave the Old Master a sly smile and even whispered, “Father, you didn’t say this just now?”
Huo Xiao shot him a death glare. What kind of sin had he committed? Look at the two of them! They only embarrassed him!
Su Cunshi nodded. They had to account for this. A fire burned in his chest as he looked at the person in front of him and asked, “Uncle Qian, how many years have you been working in the Su Family?”
“30 years, Eldest Master. I’ve been working for the Su Family for 30 years! I’m begging you. On account of the many years I’ve worked for the Su Family, don’t chase me away!” Uncle Qian cried until his face was covered with tears. He kept kowtowing. “I’m already so old. Where else can I go if I leave the Su Family?”
“It’s been 30 years! 30 years!” Su Cunshi shook his head in disappointment and sighed. He enunciated each word clearly, “You’ve been with the Su Family for 30 years. Don’t you know what kind of temper and character the Su Family members have?”
Baby Qian’s brain was not normal. He was intellectually disabled. He had let General out and caused trouble. However, their Su Family was not unreasonable. Who would blame him?
Great! In the end, he had directly framed the guest! He had caused the entire Su Family to lose their face!
“Eldest Master, I was wrong! I won’t dare do it again in the future. Please don’t chase me away! If we father and son leave the Su Family, we can only die!” Uncle Qian cried even more miserably. He looked toward Huo Xuanzhou pleadingly. “Master Zhou, I was possessed. Please help me to plead for leniency. I really can’t leave the Su Family.”
The elders were all present, so Huo Xuanzhou did not want to get involved in someone else’s family matter. He had not reached this stage yet, so he took a deep breath. His handsome face scrunched up as he leaned against Ling Sheng. His voice was neither loud nor soft; he could be heard in the right volume. “It really hurts. Help me down.”
Jun Shiyan frowned and grabbed his arm right away. After glaring at him warningly, he looked at the elders present. “Mr. Su, in that case, we’ll take Master Zhou down first.”
He was a smart person. By saying that, it would appear that he was tactful and sensible, and he would not offend others either. The Su Family would not let the culprit off either because of his shout of pain.
Upon seeing his mother, father, and uncle leave, Xiaoqi followed them on his short legs.
Su Yan looked at Huo Xuanzhou’s back view and felt a little worried. After all, this had happened because of her. Her family had wronged him. She had to go over to take a look and express her apology later.
“Yan Er, what do you think?” Su Cunshi’s heart became softer as he got older. He also knew that it had not been easy for Uncle Qian to raise an intellectually disabled son alone. Where could he find a job outside?
Su Yan’s beautiful eyes were cold as she looked at the old man kneeling on the ground. “Eldest Uncle, a mistake is a mistake. People should pay for their own mistakes in the end.”
Then, she nodded slightly at everyone present and left politely.
Huo Ci raised his eyebrows, his eyes calm. “Uncle, aren’t you afraid of tainting our Su Family’s reputation by letting him stay in residence?”
He still had the cheek to say that he had worked in the Su Family for 30 years. Yet, he did not understand the Su Family’s temper at all? Even if he had committed a grave mistake, as long as he dared to admit it, he would not make things difficult for him.
Of all things to do, he should not have tried to hide the truth after the incident and framed someone else too!
Su Cunli shook his head in extreme disappointment. “Big Brother, Ah Ci’s right. There’s nothing to say. Let him leave!”
“Then you guys can continue chatting. I’ll go over to take a look at Ah Zhou’s injury. I didn’t go easy on him. He might have to lie down for two days.” After saying that, Huo Ci left as well.
Huo Xiao held Su Xiyin’s hand and smiled. “Big Brother, this is the Su Family’s family matter, after all. I can’t say much. Do as you deem fit!”
How great!
And they still asked what kind of grandson did their Old Huo Family raise?!
Why didn’t they see what kind of servant their Su Family had raised? He had been influenced by the Su Family for 30 years, yet he could still do such a thing.
Not long after Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan left, Su Jing ran to report that Old Qian had been kicked out of the Su residence.
No one was willing to apply medicine on Huo Xuanzhou. In the end, he dragged Jun Shiyan over forcefully and insisted that he apply medicine on him. When he heard that Su Yan had come, he started shouting.
“Ah!”
“Okay!”
“Sss!”
“Be gentler, OldThird Brother! Be gentler!”
“It hurts! Be gentler!”
“Gentler!”
…
The Su Family’s guest room was divided into two internal and external rooms.
Jun Shiyan, Huo Xuanzhou, and Xiaoqi were inside. The others were outside, especially Su Yan. The Su Family had strict upbringing, so it was impossible for her to go in to see a half-naked man.
Ling Sheng listened to the voices coming from inside. It was precisely because they were two big men that it made one’s imagination run wilder. She gritted her teeth secretly, unable to stop the evil fire within her from leaping out and spreading.
