Chapter 152: Since We’re Chasing Thrills, Let’s Go All the Way – 6

Su Fufu couldn’t help clenching her fists. Don’t even think about it!

Gu Lian hadn’t expected that Su Ying, who was rumored to be all bust and no brains, would actually be such a sly little fox. Seeing Su Fufu on the verge of speaking but holding back, she immediately interjected loudly, “I agree!”

“My brother and I share the same blood. We’ve been close since childhood. It’s always been my dream to get married on the same day as him.” Gu Lian raised her eyebrows provocatively at Su Fufu, then turned to Madam Gu and said sweetly, “Isn’t that right, Mom?”

Madam Gu: “…” Like hell it is!

Who was it just half a month ago that said with her own mouth she was heartbroken by her brother and completely disappointed in him? Madam Gu started to get a headache. She had known this situation would be hard to resolve, but she hadn’t expected it to be this hard.

Among the six people present, only Su Zhenchuan felt like he was a Bulbasaur munching on Crunchy Delights inside Mickey’s Clubhouse—everything was just too wonderful. He had been about to agree, but then he noticed Su Fufu’s aggrieved gaze. Holding himself back, he turned to the silent Gu Tianyou and asked, “Tianyou, what do you think?”

Immediately, all eyes turned to Gu Tianyou. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Liuxue softly said, “Actually, it’s understandable if Tianyou disagrees. After all, I was once his fiancée. If we were to get married on the same day, people would definitely talk.”

She forced a guilty smile. “Besides, my little sister is deeply in love with Tianyou. If people keep bringing up the past between him and me, it would surely ruin her mood.” As she spoke, she pressed her lips together bitterly. “So let’s just forget it.”

Her tearful eyes turned toward Gu Lian, and she gave a fragile smile. “Miss Gu, it really doesn’t matter to me.”

“After all, I’m not someone important…”

She looked so delicate and pitiable that even Gu Lian’s heart softened in a moment of heated emotion. She immediately declared, “Who says you’re not important?! If the Su Family dares to look down on you, if they don’t treat you with respect, then as soon as my brother’s matter is settled, I’ll go with Mom to your grandparents’ house and formally propose marriage!”

Su Zhenchuan’s expression changed at once. If Gu Lian really did that, where would he put his face?

Su Fufu bit her lip hard. On the surface, Su Ying seemed to be stepping back, but in reality, she had shoved Su Fufu into a corner where she would seem heartless and unjust no matter what. Now, even if she wanted to marry Gu Tianyou before Su Ying, she couldn’t. Otherwise, people would say she had no manners, that she was deliberately bullying Su Ying.

The atmosphere instantly turned tense.

Just then, voices came from outside. Cheng Susu, dressed elegantly, was chatting and smiling with a young and beautiful woman while holding her handbag. When Su Fufu saw the woman’s face clearly, her expression changed. It was her again!

Cheng Susu hadn’t expected guests at home. When she saw Gu Tianyou and Madam Gu, she paused briefly, then quickly composed herself. Inwardly, she couldn’t help blaming Su Zhenchuan. Su Fufu was her daughter—how could he not tell her in advance about something as important as marriage?

She waved over a servant. “Take Miss Pei upstairs to rest.”

After giving the order, Cheng Susu turned back with a smile and said to Pei Yiling, “I’ll come find you once I’m done here.”

Pei Yiling nodded, but before leaving, she exchanged a glance with Yu Liuxue. “…”

Yu Liuxue was completely baffled. She frowned slightly, and Pei Yiling, noticing this, panicked and hurried her steps. Cheng Susu didn’t notice the silent exchange between the two. She set down her handbag, sat down, and smiled at Madam Gu. “Apologies for arriving late.”

Madam Gu returned a polite smile. “You’re just in time, Madam Su. We were just discussing the engagement dates for the two young ladies.”

Cheng Susu was startled. The Gu Family wasn’t just here to propose to Fufu? Su Ying was getting married too? She instinctively looked at Gu Lian, who gave her a cold, sharp smile—clearly not someone to be trifled with. Cheng Susu quickly looked away and asked politely, “May I ask what thoughts you have, Madam Gu?”

Madam Gu was silent for a moment before slowly replying, “That would depend on you, Madam Su.”

Cheng Susu looked at her daughter in confusion. Su Fufu had been glaring daggers at Pei Yiling, but when she noticed her mother’s gaze, she reluctantly looked away and bit her lip, speaking with grievance. “Mom, I don’t mind getting married a bit later. Elder Sister is the older one, and such a big event should naturally be led by her.”

She paused, then added with great reluctance, “Getting married at the same time as my sister is really, really…”

Cheng Susu was stunned. “??? Getting married at the same time? Which idiot came up with that nonsense?”

Su Fufu had intended to be modest, but Gu Lian had no intention of being polite. “Since Miss Su insists, then I’ll gladly accept.” She smiled with a roguish, smug expression. “Thank you, Miss Su.”

Su Fufu was stunned. Gu Lian turned to Gu Tianyou. “Brother, you don’t mind, do you?”

Gu Tianyou looked at her calmly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Seeing this, Yu Liuxue immediately jumped in, gazing at him with admiration. “Tianyou is at the peak of his success right now. As the ancients said, ‘Establish a family before establishing a career.’ Even though career comes first nowadays, Tianyou is deeply devoted to my sister. Even if she were to accidentally get pregnant, Tianyou would surely take responsibility.”

The words were said with intent, and Su Fufu took the hint. That’s right—Gu Tianyou was doing so well now. Although he currently had to deal with an illegitimate child trying to fight for the family inheritance, it was only a matter of time before he defeated that child. Once Gu Tianyou fully took control of the Gu Family, would he still be so loyal to her?

By then, women throwing themselves at Gu Tianyou would be countless. Even if he still loved her, it likely wouldn’t be just her alone.

But if she had his child, it would be different. No matter how many women he had outside, she would always be the rightful Mrs. Gu. Her son would be the only acknowledged heir of the Gu Family.

Su Fufu’s heart pounded wildly. She looked at Gu Tianyou and said gently, “I’m willing to wait for you, Brother Tianyou.”

Su Zhenchuan frowned. He was about to object when Gu Tianyou nodded. “Alright.”

The matter of the illegitimate child hadn’t been resolved yet, and Gu Tianyou truly had no time for romance. It was true he had feelings for Su Fufu, but to him, the Gu Family and his status as heir were far more important.

With the marriage matter finally settled, Madam Gu stood up and exchanged a few polite words before turning to Gu Tianyou. “Your grandfather wants to see you.”

Gu Lian lowered her lashes slightly. “Then Mom, I’ll stay here and keep Yingying company…”

“Your grandmother wants to see you too.”

Gu Lian: “…”

After the Gu Family left, Su Zhenchuan immediately turned to Yu Liuxue, his gaze sharp. “As a member of the Su Family, no matter who you marry or where you go, the blood in your veins is still ours. You must always remember the interests of the family. Your maternal family will always be your greatest support after marriage.”

Yu Liuxue lowered her head and said softly, “I understand.”

Su Zhenchuan saw how obedient she was and waved her off without another word. Instead, it was Cheng Susu who looked visibly upset. Fufu’s boyfriend was clearly more outstanding, yet because Su Ying stood in her way, Fufu’s marriage had been delayed. What if something unexpected happened in the meantime?

Cheng Susu wanted to speak with Su Zhenchuan, but he said he had to return to the company and hurried off. Su Fufu slowly walked over to Cheng Susu’s side and tilted her head, whispering, “Mom, is Dad keeping a mistress outside?”

Cheng Susu immediately turned and snapped, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

Su Fufu pouted. “Brother Tianyou’s parents are the model couple of the upper class, but didn’t Uncle Gu still keep a mistress and have a child with her? And that illegitimate son is already so big…”

The more Cheng Susu listened, the more uneasy she became. She couldn’t help turning and walking upstairs. After all, she had used underhanded means to force Xi Mu to her death in order to marry Su Zhenchuan. She knew exactly what kind of person he was. As the saying goes, cheating happens either never or countless times. If Su Zhenchuan couldn’t resist temptation back then, how could he possibly resist now if a young, beautiful woman tried to seduce him?

It was entirely possible that Su Zhenchuan, just like before, had already fathered several children with other women behind her back—and one of them might even be a boy.

Su Ying and Fufu were both girls. Once they got married, the Su Family would have no heir. At that point, Su Zhenchuan could righteously use the excuse of continuing the family line to bring that Fox Spirit and her child into the Su household.

Cheng Susu’s vision went dark. If that really happened, wouldn’t her position as Madam Su become a laughingstock? Just as she nearly fainted, a pair of slender, jade-like hands caught her. Cheng Susu looked up to see Pei Yiling’s eyes filled with concern. “Madam, are you alright?”

A light, youthful fragrance wafted into her nose, and Cheng Susu found herself frozen in Pei Yiling’s arms.

Just then, Su Fufu suddenly rushed over, emotionally agitated. “Mom, what are you doing?!”

Pei Yiling quickly helped Cheng Susu steady herself, then instinctively stepped behind her. Seeing her daughter shouting so rudely, Cheng Susu’s expression darkened. “Fufu! What have I always taught you?”

“Miss Pei is my guest.”

Su Fufu didn’t believe for a second that this woman named Pei was just a guest. Her mother used to dote on her the most, but lately she’d been scolding her constantly because of this woman. The stark contrast left Su Fufu feeling deeply resentful. She glared viciously at Pei Yiling. “Why are you getting close to my mom? For money? Or for the Su Family’s fortune?”

“Or is your real target my dad? Are you trying to use my mom’s trust to destroy our whole family?!”

Pei Yiling was startled, but years of training had taught her how to handle such situations. She stood calmly behind Cheng Susu, her demeanor composed and dignified. “Miss Su, you’re mistaken. The Madam and I are business partners.”

“Nothing more.”

Her firm and decisive tone only made Cheng Susu appreciate her even more. Despite her youth and status as a pampered heiress who had never lifted a finger, Pei Yiling was far more capable than her own daughter. As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than their parent. Su Zhenchuan might not see through Su Fufu’s tricks, but Cheng Susu, as her mother, knew them all too well.

It was precisely because she knew Su Fufu inside and out that Pei Yiling’s refined and graceful demeanor stood out even more, making her all the more likable.

Cheng Susu stopped Su Fufu, who was about to lunge forward and grab Pei Yiling’s hair, and said sternly, “Fufu, you should go back to your room and rest.”

Cheng Susu had never spoken to her so harshly before. Su Fufu froze, then stomped her foot in fury. She shot Pei Yiling a venomous glare. “Just you wait! I’ll find the evidence to expose your true colors to everyone!”

With that, she turned and stormed off. Her chest ached with anger, and the more she thought about the broken engagement, the more wronged she felt. Eventually, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and crouched down, quietly sobbing.

After a moment, someone let out a soft sigh and gently draped a coat over her shoulders. Su Fufu was startled, then her heart leapt with hope. She quickly looked up. “Brother Tianyou…”

Her voice cut off abruptly. When she saw Yu Liuxue, her expression changed. “Why is it you?”

Yu Liuxue forced a helpless smile and handed her a tissue. “I heard you arguing with your mom just now.”

Su Fufu snorted coldly. “None of your business.” As she spoke, she yanked the coat off her shoulders, threw it to the ground, and stomped on it as she walked away. “Don’t think you can use this chance to sow discord between me and my mom.”

She sneered. “We’re mother and daughter. She’s my mom, I’m her daughter. Our bond isn’t something you can break with a few words.”

Su Fufu was already annoyed because of Pei Yiling and just wanted some peace and quiet. She had no energy to deal with Yu Liuxue right now. Besides, Gu Tianyou wasn’t even around. She wasn’t someone who wasted effort on pointless things.

Just as she was about to enter her room, a voice drifted over from behind.

“Fufu, I came to apologize.”

“I want to earn your forgiveness.”

Su Fufu turned instinctively. Yu Liuxue’s eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over. “You’re Dad’s most beloved daughter, and the woman Tianyou loves the most. You’re about to marry him and become the high and mighty matriarch of the Gu Family. When you speak, it’s law. No one would dare go against you. For the rest of my life, you’re the only one I can rely on.”

Yu Liuxue bit her lip, her face full of regret. “So everything before was my fault. I was always making you angry. I’m sorry.”

Su Fufu blinked, not quite understanding why Su Ying had suddenly changed her tune and come to flatter her. But it did stroke her vanity and helped ease the frustration Pei Yiling had caused. Su Fufu crossed her arms arrogantly and leaned lazily against the wall. “Oh?”

Seeing her attitude soften, Yu Liuxue pressed her advantage. “You’re generous and magnanimous. Of course you wouldn’t hold a grudge against me, right? You’re about to be the matriarch, after all…”

“If you kneel and kowtow three times, I’ll forgive you,” Su Fufu interrupted, deliberately making things difficult.

The System practically jumped in disbelief. Are you out of your mind?! You actually want the Host to kneel and kowtow to you? Are you trying to hang yourself like an old man who’s tired of living?!

Yu Liuxue didn’t move. Su Fufu snorted. “What? Not even that much sincerity?”

“Didn’t you want my forgiveness? Just kneel and beg me, and I’ll—”

“I know who that Miss Pei really is.”

Su Fufu’s ears perked up. Yu Liuxue nervously clasped her hands and said pitifully, “Fufu, I’ll tell you everything I know about Miss Pei. Will you forgive me then?”

Su Fufu eyed her suspiciously. Did Su Ying really know something about that woman? After a moment of hesitation, her curiosity got the better of her. “Let’s hear it first.”

Yu Liuxue glanced behind her. Su Fufu followed her gaze and saw Cheng Susu and Pei Yiling walking over, chatting and laughing. She immediately snorted coldly and opened the door. “Get in.”

After casually picking a chair and sitting down, Su Fufu spoke with an imposing air, “Go ahead.”

She didn’t offer Yu Liuxue a seat, so Yu Liuxue leaned against the edge of the desk, her hands hanging pitifully at her sides. “Do you remember that night six months ago when Mom suddenly flew into a rage at me? It was on your birthday.”

Su Fufu frowned slightly. She had a vague memory of it. Lifting her eyelids lazily, she said, “What about it?”

“Actually…” Yu Liuxue’s long lashes fell all at once. “That night, I saw someone in Mom’s room…”

Su Fufu’s heart skipped a beat. Mom was having an affair? No way. That couldn’t be. Mom wasn’t that kind of person. She and Cheng Susu were practically together day and night, and she had never seen Mom show even the slightest interest in another man… Suddenly, Su Fufu’s eyes widened. “You mean—?”

Mom had never shown interest in any other man, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t be interested in another woman!

Her ambiguous relationship with Pei Yiling was the best proof of that!

That explained everything. The person Su Ying saw in Mom’s room that night was actually Pei Yiling! So they had already been together since half a year ago! Su Fufu suddenly felt the world spinning around her. All this time, Cheng Susu’s entire focus had been on her. Her world had always revolved around her. Since she was little, anything good that came her way, Mom always thought of her first. She had grown used to Cheng Susu’s devotion.

But what if Mom had fallen for someone else?

Then she would no longer be the one Mom cared about most. She would no longer be the most important person in Mom’s heart. From now on, Mom wouldn’t help her win Brother Tianyou’s heart. Instead, she would pour all her energy into that woman named Pei Yiling. She might even drain the family’s wealth to please Pei Yiling. Worse yet, the two of them might conspire to transfer all the Su Family’s assets overseas and then elope together, living happily ever after under new identities.

Business partner, my foot. That Pei woman had the nerve to say it so righteously!

Su Fufu couldn’t help clenching her fists. “What proof do you have that my mom is involved with that woman named Pei?”

Seeing the fish take the bait, Yu Liuxue immediately pulled up a chair and sat down. Su Fufu stared at her but didn’t stop her. Once seated, Yu Liuxue coaxed gently, “Lately, Dad’s been coming home less and less. You’ve noticed that, haven’t you?”

Su Fufu hesitated, then nodded. “Dad’s busy with work. Isn’t that normal?”

“But in the past, no matter how busy he was, he always came home. Why is it that only recently he’s been staying at the office?”

Su Fufu froze, then her eyes widened in alarm. “You mean… Dad already knew about this?!”

If that were true, then it all made sense: Mom had been caught with that Pei woman by Dad, and for some special reason, they couldn’t divorce or make it public. As a result, she remained completely in the dark, thoroughly deceived by the two of them.

Su Fufu furrowed her brows. “But just now, when Dad saw that woman named Pei, he didn’t react at all.”

Yu Liuxue chuckled. “If everyone already knows what the other’s up to, of course there wouldn’t be any reaction.”

Su Fufu was stunned again. Everyone already knows what the other’s doing…? She stood up in disbelief. “You’re saying Dad also has someone on the side?!”

Suddenly, Su Fufu felt like her entire world was collapsing. Thinking about Cheng Susu’s behavior, she couldn’t help but grab Yu Liuxue’s shoulders. “The vixen Dad’s interested in—are they a man or a woman?!”

There was no way both her parents had suddenly cheated and come out of the closet at the same time, right?!

Yu Liuxue blinked, then shook her head. “I’m not really sure about that either.”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened and she slowly lowered her head. “My mom died early. Dad has never liked me. And Mom’s heart has always been with you. Fufu, I’m really scared this family is going to fall apart. You have Mom’s love, Dad’s affection, and you’re even Brother Tianyou’s fiancée. But I’m different. If this family breaks apart, I’ll have no mom, no dad, no home.”

“You know Gu Lian only said she wanted to marry me out of anger. If one day she abandons me too, I’ll have nowhere to go.”

Yu Liuxue gripped Su Fufu’s hand tightly. “Fufu, we’re sisters. You can’t leave me behind.”

It took Su Fufu a long time to recover. The amount of information she had just taken in over five minutes was overwhelming. Her head felt like it was about to explode. But then she heard Yu Liuxue’s humble plea, and Su Fufu couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile. “Why should I?”

“You’re of no use to me.”

Her eyes sparkled with amusement. “Do you think I’d help a useless piece of trash?”

Yu Liuxue’s face instantly went blank. She let go of Su Fufu’s hand in despair and looked up at her helplessly, eyes brimming with tears. “Fufu, after all this time, do you really not understand how I feel?”

Su Fufu looked confused.

Yu Liuxue gave a bitter smile. “You know, I never liked Gu Tianyou at all.”

“The reason I bribed reporters, deliberately stirred up rumors between us, and became his fiancée, stealing him from you,” she paused for a few seconds, then said with intense emotion, “was all because the person I truly like… is you, Fufu!”

“Everything I did was just to get your attention!”

“Do you know? Even though I know you’re my half-sister, every time the night falls and everything is quiet, I can’t stop thinking about your smiling eyes, your red lips, and the pitiful way you look when you’re in Gu Tianyou’s arms. I just want to snatch you away from him!”

“Fufu, Gu Tianyou’s love for you is all fake. I’m the only one in this world who truly loves you!”

Su Fufu jolted in shock on the spot, her mouth falling open in disbelief. “…???”
