Chapter 123 It’s none of my business, it’s none of your business
At around two o'clock in the morning, the tranquility in the villa was broken by a phone call.
Su Zhan and Song Li hurriedly put on their clothes, went upstairs to call their daughter, and soon the family of three drove away from home.
The reason was that Su Zhan received a call saying that Old Mrs. Su suddenly had heart pain and difficulty breathing, and was sent to the hospital for treatment. The whole family was on the way to the hospital.
Lu Yao and Su Changhong are no exception.
Su Changhong was driving, Lu Yao was sitting in the passenger seat, and his mother was driving while calling his father, who was playing mahjong outside and had not returned all night.
Lu Yao didn't care about what her mother said on the phone, but was secretly looking forward to it in her heart. She could finally meet her grandma's relatives, and Su Jinli would also come. From childhood to adulthood, she could always find confidence in front of her grandma's relatives.
When they arrived at the hospital and found the ward, Lu Yao's uncle's family had already settled the old man in. They said it was an old problem with heart palpitations. After examination, there was no major problem for the time being, but the doctor said he needed to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.
Lu Yao asked his younger uncle, "Aren't Su Jinli and the older uncle here?"
"I called to inform them, they should come."
The family arrived one after another and entered the ward to visit Mrs. Su. The old lady said she was fine and asked her son why he called everyone over.
Soon the family was almost complete, except for Su Zhan and his friends.
Su Changhong sighed as he stood beside the bed. "A Zhan is a big celebrity who's about to hold a concert. He didn't reply to the family group messages, and he didn't answer my calls."
Just when he was worried that he would not have the chance to confront Su Zhan, a good opportunity finally came. Su Changhong had a lot of resentment waiting to be vented.
Her eldest sister said, "A Zhan must be busy, why wouldn't he answer your call?"
Su Changhong glared at Su Jinghong, "Sister, you saw that A Zhan has become famous recently, and even the tone of his voice has changed. You didn't use this tone before."
This was indeed true. Sisters Su Changhong and Su Jinghong had gossiped about Su Zhan's family before. They always felt that this younger brother was a loser, like marrying into a wealthy family but not getting a prominent status. The Song Group did not have Su Zhan's shares or position, and he also gave up his career for his family. It was a losing deal.
The key point is that these relatives of the Su family want to use the back door to get a job in the Song Group but have no one who can speak with them. Therefore, this family looks down on Su Zhan and despises him as a housewife.
Although the housewife had some money, he would buy many high-end gifts for the whole family during the holidays, and would also give the children a lot of New Year's money, pocket money, and even tuition fees. As long as the whole family was involved in an activity, whether it was eating or traveling, all the expenses would be reimbursed by Su Zhan. At first, these behaviors could satisfy the desires of these relatives, but gradually, their appetites grew.
Simply reimbursing their meal expenses, reimbursing their children's tuition fees, and sending them delicious fish, meat, and seafood during festivals... is no longer enough to satisfy their needs for Su Zhan. They hope to get more and more from Su Zhan.
Su Changhong was unwilling to give up, and asked his second and oldest brothers, "What about you? Do you feel that A Zhan is getting further and further away from us? He didn't even come to the family dinner a few days ago."
At this point, Lu Yao hastily added fuel to the fire, "My uncle is indeed angry, but he shouldn't not attend family gatherings. After all, grandma is old, and she loves lively occasions and seeing the whole family together. No matter what their status or position, they are still grandma's children and grandchildren. Just like when I was busy filming, I would try my best to come back and attend family gatherings."
"That's right. Our Yaoyao is so famous, a big star in the entertainment industry. After she finished her performance on the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, she rushed back to her grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings!"
The mother and daughter spoke in unison, becoming more and more excited.
The old lady didn't like listening to the children quarreling with each other, and she didn't have the energy to persuade them, so she simply closed her eyes. Su Changhong didn't notice the change in her mother's expression at all, and continued to talk excitedly.
At this time, Su Zhan, Song Li and Su Jinli's family of three had found the ward. When they arrived at the door, they heard Su Changhong's chattering voice coming from inside.
The ward door was half open, and everyone inside was standing around the bed, with no one facing the door.
Su Jinli had sharp ears, and she could hear her second aunt's nagging voice from fifty meters away. The content was about their family.
When they reached the door, Su Jinli opened her arms and blocked Su Zhan and Song Li outside.
Then Su Changhong said, "Yes, Ah Zhan did help us. He paid for Yaoyao's tuition and bought the piano for us. But his family is rich, so isn't it normal for him to help us?"
Su Jinghong looked at the old man on the bed and said, "Second brother, Mom is in the hospital due to an emergency. Why are you saying this?"
Su Changhong pointed at the watch on her wrist. "I've been notifying them for an hour, and they still haven't arrived. I think he doesn't want to come today... How can I not tell you that a while ago, Yao Yao wanted to go to his family's manor to shoot a series of pictorials, and guess what, he wasn't allowed to go!"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhan's eyes were filled with anger and he was about to go in to talk, but was stopped outside the door by Su Jinli.
"Also, I told Yaoyao to come to his concert to support him. It would benefit both him and Yaoyao, but he refused and wouldn't agree no matter what... And then there's that crystal hairpin thing. If they hadn't insisted on mentioning it during their livestream, would Yaoyao's work have been affected?"
Hearing this, Song Li was so angry that she was about to rush in to argue, but was stopped by Su Jinli.
A family of three watched Su Changhong perform alone outside the door.
Su Changhong spoke with tears in her eyes, "Having said that, our family did receive a lot of help from A Zhan's family, but Su Jinli's current fame is due to participating in the program '100 Occupations' with Yao Yao. And then, on the show, they insulted our Yao Yao with a hairpin, and Yao Yao almost lost her job!"
Su Zhan couldn't stand Su Changhong's tantrum anymore, and Song Li was also very angry. They were about to rush in when Su Jinli took a step forward and walked in.
Su Jinli said domineeringly: "Dad, Mom, let me tell you, don't help others easily, unless you like to raise ungrateful people."
The whole family looked over, and the old lady on the hospital bed opened her eyes.
Su Jinli walked up to Lu Yao and Su Changhong and said, "It's proven that pity for others is actually self-destruction. What does it have to do with us if they can't afford beautiful crystal hairpins? What does it have to do with us if they can't afford expensive tuition at a prestigious school? What does it have to do with us if they can't take all sorts of art classes?"
"Sure enough, life is just like what netizens have summarized: it's none of my business, and none of your business."
This made Su Changhong speechless.
