264: They've really lost their minds.

Su Qing's father, Wenchalong, looked respectfully toward Atapong in the distance while tidying up.

"Atapong is a big boss now; he's capable and wealthy. There's no harm in building a good relationship with him. In the future... it might even help your brother Su Cha's prospects. Another friend means another path, let alone one who's a relative."

"Hmph!" Su Cha, who had been following behind, fumed upon hearing this. "I don't want his help! That's just disgusting! Even if I starve to death, I won't go begging him!"

Wenchalong whipped his head around and glared fiercely at his son.

"You brat, what do you know? You don't know jack! Do you have any idea how many detours and hardships you can avoid with a relative's help? Do you think making it on your own out there is that easy?"

Su Cha stiffened his neck, refusing to back down an inch.

"I don't understand, but I know that a person lives for their pride! If I'm as spineless as you, even if he really helps me later, how could I ever hold my head up in front of him? I'd rather work hard and suffer than take charity like this! You're a coward, but I don't want to be like you!"

"You rebellious son!!!" Wenchalong flew into a rage instantly, his face turning beet red and veins bulging on his forehead.

He raised his hand, about to give Su Cha a hard slap!

His son actually dared to talk back like this and call him spineless; it was simply unfilial and outrageous!

Terrified, Su Qing and Su Ya rushed forward, grabbing their father's arms from both sides.

"Dad, what are you doing!"

In her desperation, Su Qing blurted out, "Dad, Atapong is a big boss, but isn't my boss, Miss Lei, a big boss too?"

"We don't need to beg Atapong. I'll ask Miss Lei nicely later to find a good job for my brother in Dragon Country, okay?"

Her intention was to calm her father's anger.

Su Qing's father, Wenchalong, thought about how Lei Jun had just interfered in their family matters and claimed his nephew Atapong was bullying them, forcing him to swallow his pride.

He was extremely annoyed!

Why was Lei Jun, an outsider, meddling in their family business!

Besides, Lei Jun was so young; what did she know?

He wasn't swallowing his pride or being bullied.

He was prioritizing the big picture; today was his son's big day, and it was best to avoid conflict!

Furthermore, no matter what, Atapong was his nephew; blood is thicker than water, and family ties are hard to break!

Everything before was just a misunderstanding; now that Atapong was successful, he would surely help his son, Su Cha.

Lei Jun's earlier interruption had made him very angry.

If it weren't for the expensive gifts Lei Jun had given them and the fact that she treated his daughters well, he would have kicked her out long ago.

So, he snorted coldly and retorted to his daughter.

"Your boss is so young; she's clearly just a Second-Generation Rich."

"Her parents are the ones in charge; what can she decide?"

"Besides, she's from Dragon Country; even if she's capable, she's only powerful in Dragon Country at most."

"Can she help Su Cha find a job in Thailand?"

Su Qing and Su Ya hadn't expected their father to speak of Lei Jun this way.

Su Cha also hadn't expected his father to offend an honored guest for the sake of his Older Male Cousin, Atapong.

Anxious and angry, Su Qing and Su Ya hurriedly looked at Lei Jun, fearing she would be offended.

Su Qing apologized quickly, "Miss Lei, I'm sorry! My dad... he's confused! He didn't mean it! Please don't take it to heart!"

Su Ya also apologized repeatedly.

Su Cha did the same, apologizing to Lei Jun with great respect; he could tell from the aura of Lei Jun and Lei shadow that Lei Jun's status must be very high.

Thus, it was better not to offend her if possible.

His father, Wenchalong, was truly too muddled!!!

"Miss Lei, I'm sorry! My father drank too much today and was upset, so he's talking nonsense! Please be magnanimous and don't lower yourself to his level! I apologize on his behalf!"

The three siblings were now filled with disappointment, anger, and helplessness toward their father.

They didn't understand why their father was so humble and fawning toward Atapong, yet so harsh and rude toward their family's benefactor, Lei Jun.

After Su Qing's father, Wenchalong, finished speaking, he began to regret it.

He had been blinded by his son's defiance just now, and in the heat of the moment, he blurted out such ungrateful words.

Seeing his children's faces turn pale instantly and watching them apologize to Lei Jun in a panic, he stole a glance at her.

The Silver-Haired Girl had no expression on her face at the moment, but when those cold eyes looked over, Wenchalong felt an inexplicable chill, and his heart tightened.

Lei Jun was indeed very annoyed.

Standing there, she hadn't said a single out-of-line word from start to finish.

She had simply been a bystander who couldn't stand what was happening and offered a reminder out of kindness.

She had given expensive gifts and treated Su Qing and Su Ya with respect and benefits far exceeding those of an ordinary boss.

And what did she get in return?

This kind of ungrateful, fact-twisting accusation made Lei Jun feel both ridiculous and angry.

Thus, the moment Wenchalong spoke, Lei Jun's expression turned completely cold.

Wenchalong began to regret.

It's over!

He had truly lost his mind!

How could he say that?

His daughters, Su Qing and Su Ya, still had to work under Lei Jun in the future!

Looking at Lei Jun's overall air and her cold-faced female assistant who clearly wasn't ordinary, hadn't his words just now completely offended his daughters' benefactor?

What if Lei Jun fired Su Qing in a fit of rage or made things difficult for her?

Wasn't he ruining his daughter's future?

Thinking of the consequences, Wenchalong broke into a cold sweat, and his drunkenness and anger mostly dissipated instantly.

He was at a loss, his face flushing and paling rhythmically.

By now, Su Qing was on the verge of tears; she pulled hard on her father's arm and said with a sob, "Dad! Hurry up and apologize to Miss Lei! What kind of nonsense are you spouting!"

Su Ya's eyes were also red as she looked at her father pleadingly.

Su Cha was even more angry and anxious; he knew better than his father that Lei Jun was by no means an ordinary person, and his father had truly caused a disaster this time.

Under the gazes of the three siblings who were almost ready to kneel and beg, Wenchalong finally broke.

No matter how important pride was, it couldn't compare to his daughter's future and the potential trouble.

He turned around with difficulty to face the cold-looking Lei Jun; the back that could bend for Atapong now bent even lower, almost to ninety degrees.

"Miss... Miss Lei, I'm sorry! Truly sorry! Please... please don't lower yourself to the level of an old fool like me! I... I drank too much today and was driven mad with anger by Su Cha, so I was talking trash! Everything I said was nonsense! Please don't take it to heart!"

He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and continued to apologize incoherently.

"You... you are a great person, a benefactor! It was my own blindness that failed to recognize your greatness! It's the blessing of eight lifetimes for Su Qing and Su Ya to be able to follow you!"
