Chapter 86: Deceit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Actually, Su Yan had never understood Su Qing, her self-proclaimed opponent. Su Qing had never bothered to flatter others, because she didn’t need to!
Her strength and talent gave her the confidence to not rely on anyone. In her current state, she was purely true to her heart. She would treat whoever she liked well, and if she didn’t like anyone, she wouldn’t waste her breath on them!
Moreover, the five brothers of the Su family were Su Qing’s biological brothers. They were inseparable, and there was no need to deliberately curry favor with them.
When Su Yan saw this situation, she didn’t dare to mention to Su Zheng that she was facing disciplinary action. She didn’t want to show her defeat in front of Su Qing, so she planned to talk to Su Zheng alone later and beg for his forgiveness.
Her father loved and cared about her. She believed that if she cried more passionately later, Su Zheng would eventually choose to forgive her. He definitely would!
Actually, Su Qian had been observing Su Yan’s reaction, but he had done it very discreetly, so no one noticed.
Su Yan’s scandal had already reached an uncontrollable level. Even many of Su Qian’s friends from other schools knew about it, and they even specially called Su Qian to verify the authenticity of this information. However, Su Qian couldn’t be bothered with them.
It was hard to imagine that in just a few days, this war without smoke had already defeated Su Yan.
In the study.
When Su Zheng heard Su Yan’s stammering explanation, he asked in confusion, “What did you say? If your parents don’t go to school tomorrow, you’ll be suspended? Why?”
He looked at her and frowned suspiciously. “Did you make a mistake?”
Su Yan lowered her head and said submissively, “Daddy, it wasn’t my fault! It was my roommates. They went too far and ganged up to bully me! I had no choice but to retaliate!”
Su Zheng looked at Su Yan’s trembling expression and felt that this matter wouldn’t be so simple. He looked at Su Qing with a dark expression. “It’s just a few students arguing. You haven’t even fought, so why did you have to invite your parents? What else are you hiding from me?”
Su Zheng was actually not unfamiliar with the current situation. He had five sons. Although they were all extremely outstanding talents, who hadn’t been young and insensible? Who hadn’t caused trouble in school during their youth?
However, they were boys, so it was understandable for them to be more impulsive. Even if it was Su Qing, who had a cold temper, he wouldn’t be so surprised. However, the person who was disciplined was his obedient and sweet adopted daughter, Su Yan!
Su Yan also knew that this matter could not be avoided. Even if she didn’t say it now, the teachers would still tell Su Zheng about her scandal when they reached school. Therefore, she might as well confess now and fight for forgiveness. Perhaps, Su Zheng would be less angry!
After making up her mind, Su Yan looked up at Su Zheng with red eyes. “Daddy! You also know that Su Qing was doxxed into the school’s intranet not long ago, right?”
Su Zheng frowned at her, indicating for her to continue.
“Over the past two days, I’ve been doxxed too. They started rumors and framed me! They said that I was the shameless adopted daughter of the Su family, that I was superficial and vain, and that I insisted on sticking to the cold backs of those so-called rich socialites. They even said that I borrowed money from loan sharks to satisfy my vanity, and that I had been beaten up several times by debt collectors!”
Su Yan’s eyes were already moist. She looked at Su Zheng pitifully and continued, “There are many more serious and unpleasant rumors that I’m embarrassed to say in front of you! Daddy! You know me. I’m not that kind of person. They’re using this method to slander and frame me to suppress the Su family and drag down the Su family’s reputation!”
Su Yan was crying pitifully, as though the entire world had let her down. She said that these were all slander.
However, according to what Su Zheng knew, Su Yan had indeed borrowed money from loan sharks in the past because she wanted to buy a luxury brand’s jewelry!
Su Yan didn’t know that Su Zheng actually knew about her loan.
At that time, Su Zheng assumed all daughters were all materialistic. His heart softened for Su Yan, so he turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.
