Chapter 58 Stray Dog
Other people, surprised by Wu Yuanpin's sudden collapse since no one had touched him, eventually realized what had happened when they saw a silver needle shaking on his ankle.
Yet, they found it incredible that this man, from such a distance, had controlled Wu Yuanpin's body with just a silver needle—it was utterly unthinkable!
After falling to the ground, Wu Yuanpin didn't feel any pain, but he couldn't muster any strength in his legs.
"What are you doing?" Wu Yuanpin said as he saw Su Chen approaching with a smile, feeling scared for the first time in his life, "I warn you, I am a son of the Wu Family. If you dare disrespect me, the Wu family will not let you go!"
"Is that so?"
"Bang!"
Su Chen kicked Wu Yuanpin in the body, and Wu Yuanpin immediately felt a pang of physical pain.
"Since you're not willing to eat, then I'll just have to help you."
Su Chen dragged Wu Yuanpin roughly to where the food was spilled, then forcefully pressed his face down into the dishes.
"Open your mouth!" Su Chen ordered.
But how could Wu Yuanpin possibly open his mouth? His lips were tightly closed, his gaze filled with hatred as he looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't care about what he thought, pulled his head up, and tightly grasped both sides of his mouth.
As soon as Wu Yuanpin's mouth opened, Su Chen grabbed a handful of food and forcefully stuffed it into his mouth.
"Mmmm~~~"
Wu Yuanpin made a pitiful whimpering noise, tears almost streaming out, while his face got smeared with various leaves and broth.
The other onlookers also felt a sense of unreality seeing Wu Yuanpin in this state.
This was Wu Yuanpin, after all!
"Next, are you going to eat by yourself, or shall I feed you?"
Su Chen tilted his head slightly, a sadistic smile appeared on his face.
"I, I'll eat by myself!"
Wu Yuanpin said haltingly, finally realizing his predicament.
He had always believed that being a son of the Wu Family was the ultimate protection, but he had not anticipated that this nerve-wracked young man would shatter that protection into pieces!
Under everyone's gaze, Wu Yuanpin finally lowered his proud head and, lying on the ground, began licking up the food inch by inch, overwhelmed by a flood of humiliation.
He swore in his heart to tear this young man to pieces and ensure a miserable end for him!
Ye Mei, watching Wu Yuanpin, who had always looked down on her, now reduced to a wretched dog, felt a surge of pleasure!
She had waited for this moment for over twenty years!
Yet at the same time, she was deeply worried. Su Chen humiliating Wu Yuanpin like this would surely provoke the Wu Family's wrath!
Facing the Wu Family's ferocious retaliation, could Su Chen remain unharmed?
Ye Mei had no confidence in her heart, understanding the strength of the Four Great Families far better than the average person from Jiangnan, having come from their ranks.
But the more she knew, the more frightening she found the Four Great Families!
However, worrying was of no use now; it was time to meet force with force and counter measures with measures.
Next to her, Xiao Yaning's gaze at Su Chen grew even more radiant.
I never expected such a crude, savage side from this seemingly unremarkable young man!
After more than half an hour, Wu Yuanpin had finally cleaned up all the food on the floor, then looked up at Su Chen with a face full of anticipation.
"Scram."
Su Chen waved his hand and removed the Silver Needles from Wu Yuanpin's body.
Wu Yuanpin and his subordinates immediately fled like they'd received a pardon, scrambling out the door.
Not long after Wu Yuanpin and his group had left, Su Chen and Ye Mei also departed.
Ye Mei left her car at the Cloud Sky Clubhouse and got into Su Chen's BMW.
The day's events had a significant impact on Ye Mei; she remained quiet throughout the ride, her face marked by deep worry.
"Are you worried the Wu Family will seek revenge?"
Su Chen understood what she was thinking and asked casually.
"Of course I'm worried, aren't you?"
Ye Mei was curious as she looked at him, observing that he seemed unaffected.
"What is there to worry about? It's just the Wu Family after all."
"You don't understand the power of the Four Great Families; if they decide to retaliate, you won't even know how you died."
Ye Mei gave Su Chen a scornful look, annoyed at his bravado, especially his casual dismissal of the Wu Family!
"Are you worried about me?"
Su Chen smiled faintly and reached out to hold Ye Mei's hand, noting how cold it felt.
"As if I'd worry about you!"
Ye Mei glanced sideways at Su Chen and tried to pull her hand away, but he was holding it too tightly, so she ended up letting him continue to hold it.
"The things you told me today are related to the Wu Family, aren't they?"
After a moment, Su Chen suddenly asked.
"Yes, that's right." Ye Mei nodded.
"Can you tell me exactly what's going on?"
At that moment, Su Chen's tone was very gentle, knowing that this was something deeply buried in Ye Mei's heart.
After hearing Su Chen's words, Ye Mei didn't answer immediately but opened the car window and looked outside for a while before she finally began to speak slowly:
"I am the illegitimate daughter of Wu Jinjun, the Family Head of the Wu Family. My mother fell in love with the handsome Wu Jinjun while she was still in college. At that time, she didn't know that he was already married. It was too late by the time she found out, as she was already pregnant with me."
"What's more, my mother had deeply fallen for him by then and couldn't leave him. Afterward, the old madam of the Wu Family found out about the affair and took my mother to the Wu Family mansion, considering she was carrying the Wu Family's offspring. At that time, the Wu Family lacked male heirs, with only Wu Yuanli in the grandson generation; the old madam probably hoped my mother would give birth to a boy."
"However, contrary to her wishes, it was a daughter. From then on, my mother's miserable life started. The old madam grew increasingly displeased with us, never showing a good face, and if she disapproved of us, others certainly didn't treat us with any respect either."
"The most critical person was Leanne Jing, Wu Jinjun's official wife. She saw my mother as a thorn in her side from day one but didn't dare to make a move at first because the old madam protected my mother. But since my birth and the old madam's growing coldness towards us, Liang Jing began to trouble my mother increasingly, especially after she gave birth to Wu Yuanpin, becoming utterly unbridled!"
"She not only made my mother do the work of a servant but also created all kinds of difficulties for us. Our dwelling was an abandoned storeroom; when it rained, half of the roof leaked, and the cold winds during winter were bone-chilling. One could say, my mother's decades in the Wu Family mansion were even worse than those of the lowliest servant."
"And your father? Does he not care? You are his daughter, after all!"
Learning about Ye Mei's harsh past, Su Chen couldn't help but feel pity and held her hand even tighter...
