Pure Bullshit

Lu Chen composed himself and quickly bent down to pull a stack of documents from the briefcase next to the sofa.

The edges of the paper were trimmed neatly and secured with paperclips.

He presented the gift to Su Qiu with both hands, bowing slightly, his tone deliberately humble and cautious:

"It's all ready, Qiuqiu. Look, it's all here. The lawyer has already reviewed it, and all the paperwork is complete. All you need to do is sign it."

Su Qiu reached out and took it, her fingertips tracing the smooth surface of the document.

She didn't start writing immediately, but instead lowered her eyes and flipped through the pages one by one, her gaze lingering on the details of the terms and conditions for a moment.

The key information, such as the location of the land and the property ownership certificate, has been confirmed to be correct.

He then took out a fountain pen from his pencil case and signed his name at the end.

The handwriting is sharp and unrestrained, carrying an undeniable aura.

She put down her pen, pushed the document back in front of Lu Chen, and leaned back slightly, ready to get up.

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Her tone was flat, as if she hadn't just signed a contract for a priceless piece of land.

I just casually dealt with an unimportant document.

This is nothing to her, but it is a loss for the Lu family.

As she spoke, Su Qiu stood up.

Seeing this, Lu Chen subconsciously reached out to grab her wrist, trying to persuade her to stay.

"Don't touch me."

Su Qiu abruptly shook off his hand, the force not strong, but full of disgust, her eyes instantly turning cold.

Lu Chen's hand froze in mid-air, and he almost lost his composure.

The man's face darkened, and a flash of coldness crossed his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Qiuqiu, don't do this."

He softened his tone, trying to appeal to people's emotions.

"Everyone has come all this way, and your parents are here too. Why don't you sit down and have a meal together? Just like... just like a family chat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately chimed in, as if they had planned it all along.

"Yes, Qiuqiu, we can't just cut off our friendship of so many years."

Liu Xiaolan spoke first, her voice tinged with grievance.

"When you were little, you had a fever, and your dad carried you three kilometers to the hospital. Have you forgotten all of that?"

Su Guowei nodded in agreement:

"That's right. No matter what, we've raised you for over ten years. Even if we're not related by blood, we still owe you a debt of gratitude for raising you, right?"

You can't just ignore everything. Everyone makes mistakes, and we already know we were wrong.

Chen Liping then steered the conversation towards Su Qian, her tone full of "approval" for Su Qiu:

"Speaking of which, Qiuqiu, you are more sensible and capable than Su Qian, who is always causing trouble. She can't compare to you."

Lu Zhengxiong also chimed in:

"That's right. If it weren't for Su Qian's instigation, we wouldn't have... Anyway, Qiuqiu, you're so magnanimous, don't hold it against us."

They took turns talking, repeatedly mentioning their past "friendship" and recounting the so-called "kindness of being raised."

They didn't forget to drag Su Qian out and belittle her, trying to use this method to make Su Qiu stay.

Xiao Xitian was extremely agitated: "Aaaaaah... This is so fucking disgusting! Damn it!!!"

Su Qiu stood still, coldly watching their performance, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

These words sounded incredibly ironic.

Lu Chen took a step forward, deliberately softening his tone and feigning a tender look in his eyes, trying to soften Su Qiu's attitude:

"Qiuqiu, don't be angry. Tell us what you resent, and we'll change. We just ask you..."

"Snapped!"

A sharp slap echoed in the private room, interrupting his unfinished words.

Su Qiu slapped him hard across the face, leaving a clear finger mark on Lu Chen's cheek instantly.

They've taken it tough.

Even brains can develop abs from exercise.

I'm not dizzy anymore.

"Disgusting thing!" Su Qiu's eyes were icy, and her tone was full of disgust.

"You really think a piece of land can atone for your sins? What you've done deserves to die!"

She snorted coldly, then turned her gaze to Chen Liping, whose face was deathly pale.

Then, a highly authoritative smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"Chen Liping, do you remember that feeling of almost dying last time?"

Would you like me to let you experience it one more time?

Chen Liping shuddered under her gaze and instinctively shrank back.

Recalling the feeling of my heart stopping from fright last time, my lips trembled and I couldn't utter a single word.

Su Qiu's gaze suddenly shifted to the ever-silent Lu Zhengxiong, her eyes like ice:

"You're good at pretending to be deaf and dumb, and perfectly hiding yourself? You get all the benefits, while others do the dirty and hard work!"

That's truly a case of "the skin is as thick as the brain, a whole bunch of cunning schemes!"

Lu Zhengxiong's chest heaved violently from the scolding; pointing at Su Qiu, he was too angry to utter a complete sentence:

"You...you!"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Su Qiu stepped forward, her tone even more aggressive. "Old man, you're getting upset just because I said a few words to you? Who do you think you are?"

She turned to look at Liu Xiaolan and Su Guowei, whose faces were deathly pale, and her voice suddenly rose:

"Go on, huh? Weren't you quite eloquent just now?"

All that talk about carrying me to the hospital when I had a cold or fever, all that talk about the warmth of family and how hard it is to let go—it's all bullshit to me!

Su Qian is your own daughter, and you sever ties with her just like that? Now you're trying to claim kinship with me, someone you have no blood relation to? You two idiots!

"You bastard, you twist your skin like a swallow, spitting out bubbles and talking nonsense!"

Liu Xiaolan clutched her chest, her eyes filled with disbelief, and said in a trembling voice:

"Qiuqiu, you're not like this. You used to... you used to be very sensible..."

"Before?" Su Qiu interrupted sharply.

Don't bring up the past with me! Back then, you forced me to sleep in the storage room and gave her my room because of Su Qian.

"Why didn't you mention that you forced me to give up my fiancé to her for the sake of so-called family interests?"

"fiancé?"

Lu Chen keenly caught the three words, as if grasping at a lifeline, and quickly replied.

"Qiuqiu, I've already called off my engagement with Su Qian! I still have feelings for you, and we... we still have a chance!"

"roll!"

Su Qiu gave a cold shout, her eyes almost overflowing with disgust.

Xiao Xitian's mind was in turmoil:

"How disgusting! When will this male lead ever stop? His skin is thicker than a city wall!"

With a "plop," Lu Chen knelt down directly in front of Su Qiu.

The man's face was streaked with tears, but his eyes held an expression of deep affection.

"Qiuqiu, I was really wrong! It was all Su Qian's doing, instigating and seducing me. I was confused for a moment!"

I have you in my heart, I always have...

He choked back tears, which fell even harder. "Qiuqiu, I truly love you. Please give me another chance, okay? I beg you..."

Little Western Paradise: "Aaaaah, host! He actually knelt down?! What's the point of all this? Can he conjure up gold? This is utterly ridiculous!"

The four people next to them quickly chimed in, offering their advice all at once:

"Yes, Qiuqiu, even Ah Chen is like this, he's truly repentant..."

"We know we were wrong, and we'll definitely make it up to you in the future. Let's go back to how things were before, okay?"

Su Qiu watched the farce unfold before her, a cold smile playing on her lips, a chilling murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

She bent down, grabbed Lu Chen's hair, and slammed his head to the ground.

With a dull thud, Lu Chen's forehead slammed hard against the hard floor, making a sound that made your teeth ache.
