40: Bridges are bridges, roads are roads.

When Su Mianmian heard Butler Li say her family had arrived, she was still a bit confused.

Thinking of Su Ran, who she had angered away, Su Mianmian was speechless for a moment.

It must be that the white lotus couldn't win against her and went back to rally people to fight her.

Su Mianmian gritted her teeth. Was she giving her too much face?

She opened the door, fuming, to find Butler Li outside, looking utterly speechless.

Su Mianmian saw his expression and knew he must have been disgusted by them just now.

"Butler Li, you've worked hard!"

"But let's not rush."

"Wait here for a moment; I'll go find Shi Xu and my brother."

Su Mianmian originally wanted to handle it herself, but thinking that Su Jinxuan probably also had something to say to them, she thought about it and decided it would be better to inform him.

Butler Li nodded, watching her leave.

When Su Mianmian arrived at the rehabilitation room, she saw Shi Xu assisting Su Jinxuan with his rehabilitation exercises.

Su Jinxuan's face was covered in sweat, but his eyes were full of determination.

He was slowly getting more skilled at walking, at least better than when she helped him out of bed.

Su Mianmian watched from outside for a while before entering.

The two of them were startled when they saw her come in.

Su Mianmian told them that the Su Family had arrived.

As soon as Su Jinxuan heard, he immediately wanted to go down.

He hadn't even gone to find them yet, and they had come, which was perfect.

"Brother, drink some water first."

"We'll go down in a wheelchair later."

Su Mianmian took out spirit spring water from her space and handed it to Su Jinxuan.

Although Su Jinxuan knew she had a space, this was the first time he saw her use it, and he looked at the water in her hand with curiosity.

He took it and drank it.

The entrance was a sweet taste, and the water flowed down his throat comfortably, sweeping away the fatigue from his training.

"This is a good thing."

"It also saved my life, didn't it!"

Su Jinxuan said with certainty.

Su Mianmian nodded; he had drunk spirit spring water in the space for a long time, so it was indeed one of his life-saving medicines.

"I don't want to use a wheelchair."

"Can I not?"

Su Jinxuan looked at the wheelchair Su Mianmian brought out, his face full of resistance.

Su Mianmian shook her head and said, "We can't let them suspect."

Su Jinxuan understood her thoughts, and no matter how unwilling he was, he still sat in it.

Shi Xu was responsible for pushing him.

When the three of them came out of the elevator, they heard Su Ran's aggrieved voice saying something in the living room.

Su Mianmian guessed she must have been waiting too long.

A faint, mocking smile played on her lips, as if ridiculing Su Ran's ignorance.

This was just waiting a long time; it would be even longer in the future.

The Su Family heard the noise and came out.

Su Ran saw Su Jinxuan in the wheelchair and shrieked, "Mom, there's a ghost!"

Li Mei, who was beside her, heard her and quickly stopped her, "Ranran, what are you saying?"

She pulled Su Ran, her eyes signaling her not to say anything more.

With that pull, Su Ran's expression, though still terrified, calmed down considerably.

She silently walked behind Li Mei, cautiously eyeing Su Jinxuan.

Su Mianmian and Shi Xu exchanged glances; they both found these two a bit strange.

"Jinxuan, your sister said something wrong, please don't take it to heart!"

"She's still young."

Li Mei faced Su Jinxuan with a kind face and spoke in a gentle tone.

Her words implied that Su Ran was still young, and if he took offense, he would be in the wrong.

Su Jinxuan's lips curved into a sarcastic smile, and he scoffed, "A twenty-year-old is still young? Even a three-year-old wouldn't curse people like that!"

Li Mei was rebuffed, and she looked at Su Lie, who hadn't spoken, with a wronged expression.

Su Lie had been immersed in the shock of Su Jinxuan waking up and hadn't spoken.

Now, seeing Su Jinxuan so arrogant, he felt very angry.

"Su Jinxuan, she is your mother, how can you be so arrogant?"

"Su Ran was just scared by your sudden appearance. It's one thing if you don't apologize to her, but you're even taking offense at her saying something wrong."

"As an older brother, you don't act like one at all."

Su Lie looked at Su Jinxuan with disappointment, shaking his head.

Su Jinxuan: "..."

This father had indeed been completely brainwashed by these mother and daughter.

He said sarcastically, "She's not my mother. My mother died long ago.

If she were my mother, she'd be a dead person."

Su Lie was furious, stuttering several "you"s but unable to say anything else.

Su Mianmian scrutinized Li Mei and Su Ran, feeling that the two of them were very off.

Ever since they saw Su Jinxuan, Li Mei's emotional control was a bit better, but Su Ran, perhaps being too young, had no control over her expressions at all.

She looked utterly terrified.

Su Mianmian felt that there must be something wrong with the two of them.

"Jinxuan, it's my fault. Ranran was just too happy that you woke up, which is why she said something wrong."

"Isn't that right, Ranran?"

Li Mei reached out and tugged Su Ran. No matter how scared Su Ran was, she still stammered, "Yes."

Su Jinxuan snorted coldly, ignoring her.

"Su Jinxuan, how did you become like this!"

"You woke up and don't come home, what are you doing here?"

"Are you planning to never go home for the rest of your life?"

Su Lie had always been strong-willed and couldn't stand being disrespected like this.

Moreover, the person disrespecting him was his own son.

"It's a good thing you all came today; I'll settle accounts with you directly."

"We agreed before that Mianmian couldn't be used as a tool for marriage alliances. You took the benefits and forgot, isn't that being a bit too untrustworthy?"

"Don't say she was willing; if she wasn't, would you have let her live?"

"Since you were the first to break the contract, then me taking back my things should be a moral thing to do, right?"

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Lie coldly, his tone chilling.

Su Lie felt a hint of guilt upon hearing this, but how could he give up something that was already in his hands?

"We are a family, what's yours and what's mine."

"Besides, business hasn't been good recently, and everything has already been lost."

After Su Lie finished speaking, he turned his head away, not looking at Su Jinxuan.

Su Jinxuan knew he would react this way.

However, his current goal wasn't to argue about these things; his ultimate goal was something else.

"In that case, let's sever our father-son relationship."

"Mianmian will sever her father-daughter relationship with you."

"From now on, we go our separate ways."

Su Jinxuan said threateningly.

Su Lie hadn't expected Su Jinxuan to do this, and he looked at him with dangerous eyes.

"Do you really want to do this?"

"After you do this, you will no longer be a part of the Su Family!"

Su Lie didn't believe that he wouldn't covet everything of the Su Family at all.

"Isn't that better?"

"Ever since Mom left, I haven't wanted to be for a single day."

Su Jinxuan said sarcastically.

Su Lie was angered by his words, and he laughed in anger, "Good, good, good, I'll issue a statement when I get back."

Li Mei on the side was overjoyed, having waited for so many years, finally... Su Ran, however, wasn't happy; she was very panicked, she hadn't expected Su Jinxuan to still be alive.

She had completely forgotten her purpose for coming here.

Su Lie also wanted to forget that his purpose for coming here was to scold Su Mianmian, but as soon as he met Su Jinxuan, the tension between them became palpable.

When the Su Family left in anger, Su Mianmian couldn't help but laugh.

"They probably came to seek justice for Su Ran, but the result..."

"It's too funny."

"Brother, did you want to cut ties with them for a long time?"

Su Mianmian asked curiously.

Su Jinxuan nodded.

"The apocalypse is coming, and to avoid future trouble, it's best to sever ties now."

"I won't leave any hidden dangers for the future."

Su Jinxuan was serious.

Su Mianmian hadn't expected him to be so thoughtful, and she looked at him with admiration.
