I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 695: Only Cowards Act Out Third-Rate Scripts

Su Zhai.

Butler Su had been waiting outside the small west building since early morning. When he saw Su Zhuo from afar, he immediately went to greet him, but was stunned before he could speak.

"Master, how did you become like this?"

Su Zhuo smiled. Yeah, how did he end up like this?!

Steward Su was reluctant to say more. He turned sideways and looked towards the main hall of the west building, hinting, "Young Master, the old man and the master are waiting for you inside."

Su Zhuo suppressed his smile and nodded, "I'll go clean up first."

He is in such a miserable state now. If his grandfather saw him, he might even hold a grudge against the Shen family.

"Master..." Steward Su was a little embarrassed, "The old man said that you should go see him as soon as you return."

Su Zhuo was silent for a moment, then walked towards the main hall of the west building.

There were a few figures sitting scattered in the huge main hall, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Su Jingliu sat on the gilded Western-style sofa, the coffee in his hand had long been finished; Su Xin's face was cold and his breath was heavy. Mrs. Su looked out the door from time to time, and looked at the two people in the main seat from time to time, her worry was beyond words.

Su Miao and Su Yun sat at the end, each in silence.

Su Zhuo stepped into the main hall and saw this scene as soon as he raised his eyes. He paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, and slowly walked to the center of the main hall.

"grandfather."

Su Jingliu closed his eyes and took off his gold-rimmed reading glasses. His wrinkled eyes were bloodshot.

"Kneel down."

Su Zhuo lowered his head and knelt down.

Mrs. Su couldn't bear it, so she covered her chest and turned her head away.

Su Jingliu stared at Su Zhuo, his eyes full of scorn. "Our Su family's hero is back? How did you get yourself into such a mess? Others who are heroes can bring home a plaque, but what about you? You don't have a plaque, but you do have a hat for being a pushover."

"..."

Su Miao's eyelids twitched. The old man's scolding was too harsh. Even his own grandson could be so cruel?

Su Zhuo did not argue, but kowtowed three times to Su Jingliu and said, "I will accept your punishment, Grandpa."

"Punishment?" Su Jingliu smiled wryly. "Punishment is the punishment for any mistakes you make. Do you think you made any mistakes?"

Su Zhuo leaned forward and did not answer.

The emotions in Su Jingliu's eyes instantly sank to the bottom.

From the moment Su Zhuo entered the room, he knew this evildoer hadn't changed. Whether it was punishment or family rules, the ultimate goal was to prevent him from committing the same offense again. But if Su Zhuo didn't admit his fault, no matter how harsh the punishment or how harsh the scolding, it would be useless.

Seeing that Su Zhuo would rather kneel down than admit his fault, Madam Su choked up and said, "Azhuo, quickly admit your fault to your grandfather. You are so confused. You give up your future and family reputation just for an outsider of the Shen family?"

Su Zhuo frowned and stood up, "Mom, this is my business, please don't involve others."

Mrs. Su didn't expect that Su Zhuo would still speak up for Shen Mianzhi at this time. She was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot.

"Okay! Okay! I can't interfere with your business!" After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the main hall.

Su Zhuo had always been a well-behaved person since childhood. Apart from his love of eating, he had never caused Madam Su any worries. Feeling a little guilty, he turned to look at Su Miao, who simply rolled her eyes. Su Zhuo could only turn to look at Su Yun, who pondered for a moment before getting up and following him out.

Su Jingliu snorted coldly, "So you still care about your mother?"

Su Zhuo bowed his head again and kowtowed three more times to Su Jingliu. "Grandpa, it was me who deserted the battlefield. It was also me who brought shame to the family for my own selfish desires. I feel ashamed of all your years of cultivation and education. I will accept any punishment you have for me."

"Just don't involve others."

Su Xin couldn't bear it any longer, so she stood up and kicked Shen Zhuo. The kick was quite powerful, and Su Zhuo, exhausted, lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground. There was a loud bang, which scared Su Miao so much that her hair stood on end.

"Don't involve others?"

Su Xin was furious and pointed at Su Zhuo, "What qualifications do you have to say such things to us? Your uncle has endured countless assassination attempts to defend Xiwan and still hasn't started a family. How much effort did your grandfather put into getting you aboard the airship? And at the last minute, you just said you didn't want it? Su Zhuo? If you couldn't afford it, why didn't you say so from the beginning? Why wait until everyone poured all their efforts into you before you let them down?"

"You're willing to go against your family's orders and make the whole world your enemy, just to run after the one you love. Do you think you're amazing?"

"Su Zhuo, let me tell you, your likes are nothing, worse than trash. If I were the Shen family, I wouldn't even look down on you."

Su Zhuo's mind went blank, and the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart erupted like a volcano, becoming uncontrollable.

He clenched his fists tightly, and his blank memory suddenly showed the joyful look of Shen Mianzhi pulling Zhou Yanheng.

"Why……"

Why was his favorite thing considered garbage? He shook his head, his distracted eyes tinged with sharpness. "I never cared whether they liked it or not!!"

"You still dare to be so stubborn?!"

Su Xin looked at the evil creature in front of her with a red face and thick neck and felt that it was an eyesore. She turned her leg and kicked Su Zhuo again.

"You don't care? You don't care that you're throwing away the opportunity our family has been planning for years to become a background figure for someone else? How could I, Su Xin, give birth to such a bad son like you? The Su family and the Shen family are definitely a good match. If you really liked Shen Mianzhi, you could have arranged a marriage for her."

Su Zhuo was stunned, with emotions surging in his eyes.

"What?" Su Xin looked down at him, "Are you going to say you don't like her? Don't want to marry her?

Seeing that he remained silent, Su Xin sneered, "Abandoning the family's kindness to pursue personal love, this is a plot that only third-rate novels pursue! Ah Zhuo, only cowards make choices between love and family. A real man doesn't make choices."

"Your grandfather is devoted to the Yu family, and you are devoted to the Shen family. This is a game of chess. If you win, you win a good match for your grandfather. If you lose, it's just because you are incompetent. But you, neither fighting nor competing, nor accepting your fate, retreating at the last minute and thinking you are brave and alone, you have played out this third-rate script."

"boom--"

These words were like thunder striking a rock, and the mountain pressing on Su Zhuo's heart was instantly shattered into dust.

The hatred and anger in his eyes suddenly dissipated, leaving only a trace of clarity.

"Azhuo, standing at the pinnacle of power, there's no room for retreat. If you're truly capable and truly want to accomplish something unparalleled, you'll need to defeat your father and grandfather before you have the final say. If you can't even get the mere qualification to be the first to fly, no father would dare hand their daughter over to you."

Su Xin bent down and patted Su Zhuo's shoulder with a force heavier than a thousand pounds.

Su Zhuo felt ashamed and kowtowed to Su Xin.

Su Jingliu picked up the empty coffee on the table and said lazily, "Do you know you are wrong?"

Su Zhuo nodded, "Su Zhuo admits his mistake and will never make it again."

Su Jingliu nodded, "Now that you know, let's start the fight. Steward Su, bring me the rattan stick from our ancestors and beat me! Hit me hard, beat me to death!"
