Su Ruohua’s face also turned grim when she heard that voice.
It was now too late for Su Huiqing to leave.
She clutched Su Huiqing’s hand tightly and whispered. “Qingqing, I will take responsibility for everything. Remember, I was the one who threw the wine on Madam Dugu’s face.”
Su Huiqing didn’t speak. She just lowered her eyes and glanced at her cell phone.
It was a message from Apollo: 9pm tonight. Dugu will be at the Night Bar.
The door opened and Dugu Heng and his men entered. Su Huiqing replied on her cell phone: Send as many particle beam guns to Monster University for Yu Xiangyang.
Yu Xiangyang knew Su Chu and would definitely understand her intentions.
Particle beam guns were the most desired weaponry by all the major forces. They were powerful and used as military arms.
“What are you doing?!” Dugu Heng’s cold voice sounded out.
He had brought a large team of people. All three floors were surrounded securely by his men.
The restaurant boss, who had remained in hiding the entire time, was standing respectfully behind Dugu Heng.
Several dozen stern-faced men of the Dugu Family gushed into the private room, surrounding everyone in it.
Dugu Wu emerged from behind Dugu Heng. She immediately cried out in shock when she saw the Dugu Family matriarch’s pitiful state. “Grandma, are you alright? What happened to your forehead? Your face…”
She drew out a piece of tissue paper and dabbed away the wine from the Dugu Family matriarch’s face.
Her eyes were lowered, hiding the secret delight in them. She knew who the Dugu Family matriarch had come to meet today. It was clear the meeting had not gone well.
As a result, her position would not be threatened for the time being.
“It’s all because of these two. Little Heng, look.” The Dugu Family matriarch was trembling in anger. “This is the shrew whom you have fallen for. Not only is she a divorcee, she has a bastard child born out of wedlock. What in the world do you see in her?”
Su Ruohua stood quietly before Su Huiqing. She knew that it was important to keep calm at such a crucial moment.
Dugu Heng looked at Su Ruohua and Su Huiqing, before shifting his eyes toward the Dugu Family matriarch. “As a highly-respected elder of the Dugu Family, how can you spout such filthy words? What happened to your fine upbringing?!”
The Dugu Family matriarch was dumbstruck.
She had always possessed a natural fear of this son of hers.
“Sir, look at Grandma’s face and forehead. Someone must have assaulted her. Grandma has never had to endure such despicable treatment. It is understandable for her to have spoken so angrily.” Dugu Wu explained as she supported her grandmother.
“Yes, yes.” The Dugu Family matriarch held her face and gritted her teeth. “Little Heng, these two people dared to hit me. You must not show them any mercy.”
“I was responsible for everything. Don’t drag my daughter in.” Su Ruohua stated coldly.
“You…” The Dugu Family matriarch was about retort.
“Control yourself.” Dugu Heng shot her a cold glare. “Get me the surveillance footage of this place!”
“Dugu Family Head, we have no surveillance cameras here.” The restaurant boss would never admit to having installed surveillance cameras in here.
Dugu Heng crossed his arms behind his back and stared at him. “Get it now.”
If it had been any one of the other two major families, the restaurant boss might have dared to continue denying. Unfortunately, he was faced with Dugu Heng.
Dugu Heng, who controlled half the military in the International Association.
That was the true power behind the Dugu Family. Even the commander-in-chief had no control over them.
This was someone who dared to clash against the commander-in-chief whenever something displeased him.
Even the Dugu Family matriarch deeply feared this son of hers.
The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved.
Su Huiqing leaned casually against a table on the side, as she watched the video.
The more she watched, the more bloodthirsty her eyes grew. She had only heard the Dugu Family matriarch’s last few words before she came into the room. She didn’t know just how vile the old lady had been prior to that.
“Mother, as a respected elder, do you think you did the right thing?” Dugu Heng’s jaws were tightly clenched. He turned harsh, sharp eyes upon the Dugu Family matriarch. “From now on, you will stay at home obediently.”
“Sir!” Dugu Wu’s expression changed. She never expected Dugu Heng to pass such an edict. “Grandma is your mother. Those two people bullied her—not only are you not throwing them into jail, you are helping them bully grandma!”
“Don’t forget your place.” Dugu Heng glared at Dugu Wu. “I allowed you to be by my mother’s side just to be her companion, not to make a fuss and sow discord. Do this again, and I will send you back!”
Dugu Wu’s face instantly paled.
“You two should leave too.” Dugu Heng turned his attention to Su Ruohua and her daughter. “Today’s incident is considered settled.”
“That is good. I hope never to see anyone from your family ever again,” Su Ruohua replied resolutely. Leading Su Huiqing by the arm, she started toward the door.
Dugu Heng was momentarily taken aback by her words. He gazed meaningfully at Su Ruohua.
But Su Ruohua didn’t even turn her head.
Su Huiqing glanced at Su Ruohua’s serene face. She had no idea what she must be thinking.
She raised her foot and hooked a chair over. With one hand in her pocket and the other pressing Su Ruohua into the seat, she said calmly. “Leave?”
Dugu Heng lifted his eyes and looked straight at Su Huiqing.
Su Huiqing was wearing a white shirt, the sleeves rolled up partially. A slight smile played across her lips. Su Ruohua was also glancing up at her own daughter.
Dugu Heng thought he would definitely not like Su Ruohua’s daughter.
After all, she was Su Ruohua’s child with another man.
But looking at those eyes of hers, which were nearly identical to Su Ruohua’s, he found it impossible to detest the child.
“No one has apologized to my mother yet, but you are already leaving? Dugu Family Head, do you think that is right?” There was no way Su Huiqing would let off someone who bullied Su Ruohua.
“Apologize?” The Dugu Family matriarch’s voice turned strident. “You expect me to apologize to a commoner?! You must be crazy!”
“Ms Su.” Dugu Wu felt that Su Huiqing looked somewhat familiar, but couldn’t recall where she had met her before. “My grandma is the matriarch of the Dugu Family. The Head of our family didn’t ask her to apologize, how dare you make such a request?”
The other people of the Dugu Family were also looking at Su Huiqing with strange expressions.
Asking the Madam to apologize, right in front of the Head of the Dugu Family?
Who did this girl think she was?
Dugu Heng just glanced at Su Huiqing and smiled. His eyes hardened. “Do you know which family you are asking to apologize? Or rather, do you know how dangerous your request is?”
Enough.
Su Ruohua grabbed Su Huiqing’s arm. She didn’t wish to stay here a moment longer.
It was just a chance meeting between Dugu Heng and her. She might have hesitated before, but she no longer had any doubts after meeting members of the Dugu Family. It was just as she had said. She hoped never to meet anyone from this family ever again.
She didn’t mind enduring abuse on her own, but she couldn’t bear seeing Su Huiqing harmed. She didn’t wish to see that at all.
However, Su Huiqing just grabbed her hand back.
And pressed down firmly on her shoulder, not allowing her to get up.
“Dugu Family Head, do I look like I am joking?” Su Huiqing pointed at her own face.
That lovely face was full of smiles.
Before Dugu Heng had a chance to speak, Su Huiqing turned toward the Dugu Family matriarch. Her eyes were chilly. “I advise you to cooperate.
Following her words.
‘Bang!’
The sound of gunshots!
Su Chu and his team had finally arrived.
Dozens of people marched in, immediately forming neat rows behind Su Huiqing.
Dugu Heng’s originally indifferent face turned serious after seeing the guns held by Su Chu and the gang. He thought Su Huiqing was just throwing a girlish tantrum, and never expected them to be bringing out those particle beam guns! Even Dugu Heng was very much taken aback by the sight. This kind of particle beam guns could be used in a duel to the death with Bai Yi. The situation had escalated too quickly!
But Su Huiqing didn’t feel that anything was wrong at all.
She had always been like this.
She would deal with all matters of revenge and hatred straight on.
Anyone who tried to bully her friends and her family.
No way.
She slowly tucked her hands into her pocket and gazed toward the Dugu Family matriarch. She gave a vicious smile. “None of you will be able to leave if you don’t apologize today!”
Swoosh—
The Su Family escort guards all raised their particle beam guns in unison. They pointed the cold, hard barrels straight at the Dugu Family people!
