Su Peng suddenly exploded, pushing away his chatty sister-in-law’s hand. "Shut up, have you said enough?"
"With a nephew looking like that, not to ntion being worthy of my daughter, he isn’t fit for any woman."
"It’s a sha you’re a woman yourself... I genuinely feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, poor thing marrying into your family."
"Do you know what you call her situation?"
The sister-in-law, intimidated by Su Peng’s aura, blankly asked subconsciously, "What is it called?"
Su Peng, his presence overwhelming, loudly said, "It’s called being widowed... also known as being a widow..."
"She does the housework, takes care of the children, works to earn money, and your nephew is just a useless decoration..."
"No, let’s not insult the decorations. At least they are pleasing to the eye. Apart from breathing through his nostrils, what else can your nephew do? He’s even less useful than a decoration..."
When a normally quiet person loses his temper, it is truly terrifying.
None of the relatives and friends gathered around dared to breathe too loudly.
Those aunts who had gossiped about the Su Family behind their backs quickly reflected on their words, wondering if they had said anything overly offensive.
Their eyes darted around nervously, fearing they would be harshly rebuked like that aunt.
The sister-in-law, both embarrassed and ashad, her lips trembling with anger, didn’t dare to refute a word.
Covering her face, she was too embarrassed to stay any longer, let alone continue trying to boast about her excellent nephew to Su Peng.
Thinking it over, what Su Peng had said wasn’t without reason, and his words clearly resonated with many of the young won present.
So bolder won smacked their lips, reflecting on his words, then swiftly pinched their spouses hard on the thigh, threatening, "Do you want to end up a widow or a charming widow?"
Su Peng’s retort made him famous, completely overturning his image as a simple man in everyone’s eyes.
The benefit was that the gossipy won were significantly reduced.
It also established his mad dog persona; anyone daring to speak ill of his daughter would face his bite.
This reiterated a lesson to everyone.
Don’t, ss, with, the, quiet, ones...
Su Peng guarded his precious daughter fiercely, but no defense is perfect.
This oversight proved true with Zhu Zhahua.
After her divorce, Zhu Zhahua beca increasingly paranoid, treating Su Li in kind.
After her husband left, it didn’t take long for her to feel extrely uncomfortable.
It seed nothing went smoothly for her.
At the ti of signing the divorce papers, she was fueled by anger. Once that anger dissipated over ti, nobody knew what she truly felt.
But from her actions, it was clear she beca more irritable and quick-tempered.
Her control over Su Li tightened to an obsessive and abnormal degree.
However, with Su Peng’s intervention, mother and daughter had barely seen each other over three years, preventing any significant impact on Su Li.
Everyone thought this situation would continue indefinitely, maintaining at least a superficial peace.
Yet, the mont to disrupt this calm ca sooner than expected.
The event stemd from Wan Jia Bing and his son Wan Shimin.
Over the years, Zhu Zhahua had lost contact with her old friend Wan Jia Bing.
However, for so reason, when Su Li graduated from her master’s program, Wan Jia Bing sent Zhu Zhahua a wedding invitation.
Three days later, the wedding ceremony of Wan Shimin, his son, was held at the Century Royal Hotel.
In addition, Wan Jia Bing had specifically made a separate phone call to passionately describe how outstanding the girl who was about to beco his daughter-in-law was.
It seed as if Su Li’s initial refusal of his son was a particularly big loss for them.
Wan Jia Bing was very aware of Zhu Zhhua’s Achilles’ heel; he knew exactly where it hurt.
"n are different from won. An older man can still find an eighteen-year-old girl, but an older woman can only end up with an eighty-year-old grandpa."
These malicious words struck right at Zhu Zhhua’s heart.
After Su Li graduated, she held her breath, always wanting to prove that her daughter could find an excellent son-in-law for herself, to show those who abandoned her and laughed at her that she still had a daughter who could make her proud.
Thus, she had always strived towards this goal.
Although her ex-husband’s obstruction had caused things to go less smoothly, she had never given up.
The provocation from Wan Jia Bing enraged Zhu Zhhua.
She went directly to her handbag, stuffed a fruit knife inside, and headed towards Su Li’s residence.
Usually, Su Li spent most of her ti at school, but now that she had graduated from her master’s program, she was stuck at ho—perfect timing for Zhu Zhhua to catch her in the act.
When Su Li graduated from university, she had bought a large apartnt through her own capabilities.
Whenever she could afford it, she was accustod to indulging in luxury.
With over two hundred square ters of space, she lived alone, contentedly enjoying herself imnsely.
This apartnt had even caused a stir at one point.
When Zhu Zhhua heard that Su Li had bought an apartnt, she was extrely happy and proudly spread the news in her family ho.
At that ti, many aunts and sisters-in-law in the Zhu Family, upon hearing the news, began to take an interest.
Many people sent ssages to Zhu Zhhua through diators, suggesting that they had eligible nephews or sons.
However, the general consensus was that if there were to be a marriage, the apartnt wholly purchased by Su Li must be co-owned with the man’s na added.
Once they were family, there was no need to break things down so much. Anyway, they wouldn’t divorce in the future, so adding a na shouldn’t be a big deal.
This news hadn’t yet reached Su Li’s ears before Su Peng blocked it.
He single-handedly charged into Zhu Zhhua’s family ho and unleashed a torrent of Poison Snake venom on everyone involved in the matter.
Even Zhu Zhhua herself was not spared from his scathing rebuke.
Soft rice is hard to swallow, but it depends if he as a father agrees or not.
After this incident, those people didn’t dare to conspire with Zhu Zhhua anymore.
However, even more malicious rumors erged behind closed doors.
These people all said that Su Li must be relying on so wealthy suitor.
Otherwise, how could a young girl, from a not-so-wealthy Su Family, possibly afford to buy a large apartnt by herself?
In this small world, as society has developed to this point, so views and perceptions have beco increasingly pathological.
Although gender equality is always advocated, in reality, being a woman in society is still exceedingly challenging.
If it had been a young man who achieved such success, most people would certainly consider him talented and precocious, with little room for doubt.
But change the gender, and under the identical circumstances, the situation becos starkly different.
This fueled Zhu Zhhua’s fury.
Ironically, she didn’t bla those who spread the rumors but instead blad her own daughter.
Luckily, Su Li was too busy to deal with any of this; otherwise, even if she was the original owner’s mother, she would have let her know why flowers bloom so brightly.
