258: Chapter 258: So That’s How It Is 258: Chapter 258: So That’s How It Is Only the state of mind had utterly changed.
Su Lu had always been indifferent to the unkindness of Zhu Xinyan and her daughter.
He had grown accustod to it over the years.
But to say it didn’t affect his emotions would be impossible.
Yet now, it genuinely didn’t affect his emotions, he could even manage a smile in response.
Frankly, he even found it rather amusing.
Was it because he was getting older, increasingly able to take various attitudes in stride?
Or was it because he knew he had true family support behind him, giving him the strength to face any attitude fearlessly?
Su Lu smiled in a relaxed and casual manner, his smile carefree and even carried a teasing tone, catching Zhu Xinyan and Su Jiao by surprise.
“Ah…
ah!” Su Yukan on the hospital bed made several aningless sounds, his expression turning slightly agitated.
It was unclear whether it was Su Lu’s presence or the conversation between Zhu Xinyan and Su Jiao that was bothering him.
All the while, his mouth barely moved…
enough to only utter a few nonsensical syllables, with drool slipping down from the corners.
Zhu Xinyan glanced at him, subtly furrowing her brow, her eyes flashing briefly with disgust.
She turned to Su Jiao, “Where’s the caretaker?
What is she doing that she isn’t here?
Wasn’t she just here?”
“I’ll go call her.
And see if Lawyer Zheng is here yet.” Su Jiao turned and left the room.
Su Yukan, on the hospital bed, his eyes cloudy, looked at Zhu Xinyan and struggled to speak, “You…
ah…
go also.”
Zhu Xinyan scoffed inwardly, how could she not understand?
He obviously wanted to speak to his son!
Regardless of how she and her daughter had accompanied him over the years, despite how rebelliously Su Zhe had behaved against him.
Ha, a son is a son indeed, the elder one especially so.
When it ca down to it, the person he still cared about the most was this unfilial son.
“Fine, I’m going,” Zhu Xinyan said mockingly and walked out of the ward.
Su Yukan then struggled to raise his hand, appearing to want to grab sothing, but because movent was difficult, he beca frantically distressed.
Su Zhe frowned, “What do you want?”
Su Yukan made a few more sounds, and Su Zhe seed to understand, retrieving an envelope from the nightstand drawer.
The envelope wasn’t very thick, suggesting it was less an important docunt…
Su Lu thought it looked more like a letter?
“You… ah ah…” Su Yukan struggled to express himself.
Su Zhe, understanding, reached into the envelope and pulled out a few sheets of paper.
It was indeed a letter.
Su Zhe smiled dispassionately with a hint of self-mockery, “So it really is a letter.”
How extraordinary.
He unfolded the letter, examining the contents.
It wasn’t handwritten by Su Yukan; given his condition, he couldn’t possibly write by hand.
Likely it was typed out one letter at a ti on a smartphone or tablet, then printed.
Su Zhe skimd it; the content of the letter wasn’t moving.
Even if there had been anything touching, he felt he could no longer be moved by this father of his.
After reading, he casually handed it to Su Lu.
Su Lu raised his eyebrows, initially thinking it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing Su Zhe hand it over and Su Yukan having no objection, Su Lu took and read the letter.
Had he not read it, it would have been fine, but on reading, he found himself sowhat surprised.
The letter really contained nothing sensational, it was almost entirely about the distribution of assets and…
Su Lu involuntarily widened her eyes.
Ah, this…
As Su Lu read certain lines of the letter, she was sowhat shocked.
She couldn’t help but turn her head to exchange a glance with Su Zhe, recognizing the sa emotion in his eyes.
Clearly, Su Zhe was also shocked.
Su Lu suddenly understood why Su Yukan had even called her and Zhao Tong back.
She had already severed ties with him a long ti ago, and Zhao Tong had even changed his na.
The content of a few lines in the letter was startlingly about Su Jiao’s origins.
It turns out that Su Yukan’s sudden cerebral hemorrhage was an incident but it can’t entirely be called an accident.
That day, he had caught Zhu Xinyan eting with soone else.
Normally, that might have been enough, but Su Yukan didn’t have deep, engraved feelings for Zhu Xinyan to grieve over her infidelity—it was more likely the anger and embarrassnt of being cuckolded.
However, he overheard Zhu Xinyan and her lover’s dialogue, and that was when he learned that Su Jiao was not his own flesh and blood.
He couldn’t believe that the little daughter he had raised for so many years was soone else’s child!
And he had treated her like a treasure for all these years!
For the sake of this mother and daughter, he had even alienated his own son!
The more Su Yukan thought about it, the angrier he got, and he drank quite a bit, leading to the cerebral hemorrhage.
That’s how the current situation arose.
So, he imdiately instructed Lawyer Zheng to start handling the distribution of the assets, and also urgently called back his son and adopted children.
The contents of the letter were just these.
Of course, Su Lu was shocked, especially…
thinking back to Zhu Xinyan calling her a bastard just a while ago.
It felt a bit funny, didn’t it?
From where did she get the face to say such a thing?
And Su Zhe, while also shocked, found it pretty amusing too.
It looks like he completely resembles his mother, from his appearance to his personality to his intelligence.
After all, he was definitely not as foolish as Su Yukan, raising a daughter for so many years who wasn’t his own flesh and blood.
When Lawyer Zheng arrived, he was stopped outside the hospital by Su Jiao.
“Miss Su Jiao, do you need sothing?
I’m in a hurry to see Mr.
Su,” said Lawyer Zheng politely.
Su Jiao frowned and asked directly, “Lawyer Zheng, what exactly did my father ask you for?
Is it about the will?”
Su Jiao asked so directly that even Lawyer Zheng couldn’t maintain his expression, and he involuntarily furrowed his brow.
Mr.
Su wasn’t even dead yet, and she was already worrying about the will.
Moreover, since Lawyer Zheng had handled Su Yukan’s asset distribution, he knew exactly why Mr.
Su was so anxious to and the will and rearrange the asset distribution.
Seeing this ‘Miss Su’ so fixated on Mr.
Su’s will, Lawyer Zheng found it sowhat laughable.
He slightly turned up the corners of his mouth, “You can ask Mr.
Su about that when you go in, I’m sure Mr.
Su would be willing to give you an answer.”
Zhu Xinyan approached from behind, lowering her voice, “Zheng Kang, tell the truth, what did Su Yukan call you for, what exactly is in the will?
I’m not short of money, just na your price.”
Zheng Kang couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this, “Ms.
Zhu, I’m employed by Mr.
Su, and he certainly provides satisfactory compensation.”
