Chapter 750: Su Family Past
"Xiao Chen, are they also your friends?" Xu Wei couldn't help asking. The three girls were so beautiful, even the youngest one was a beauty, and they all had different temperaments. She would be very satisfied with any of them as her daughter-in-law.
"Aunt, we are all Su Chen's friends." Li Shitong and others smiled. Facing Xu Wei, they naturally tried to please her, after all, she was the future mother-in-law.
At this time, Su Chen couldn't get involved. Several women of all ages were chattering in the yard. Xu Wei completely occupied the home court and asked Li Shitong and the others enthusiastically, as if they were already a family.
Su Shicheng and Su Chen looked at each other, and the two walked out of the yard together.
"Son, our family is finally reunited."
Su Shicheng patted Su Chen's shoulder heavily, and his eyes were a little red. He has always been a serious man, and his performance at this moment is enough to show that he is extremely excited.
"Dad, have you and mother been doing well in the past few years?" Su Chen asked.
"Well, your mother and I are living well."
Su Shicheng smiled slightly.
However, Su Chen could tell from the dark circles under his eyes that Su Shicheng was not living well as he said.
"Don't listen to what your father said, he was just trying to save face."
Xu Wei came out of the yard at some point, took Su Shicheng's arm, and said to Su Chen with a sigh.
"What's going on?" Su Chen asked.
"Nothing else, it's just that your father has been alone in his room since he moved out of the Su family. Sometimes I hear him sighing in the room, and sometimes I hear him walking around. Moreover, compared to before, your father rarely smiles." Xu Wei said.
Su Shicheng shook his head and said, "Wei'er, don't talk about these bad things in front of Xiaochen."
Xu Wei said, "Brother Cheng, Xiaochen is back now. If you want to go back to see the old man, then go... After so many years, even if the old man is angry with you, it's time to calm down!"
"The old man..."
Su Shicheng's eyes flickered, but he finally sighed with a complicated look.
Li Shitong and the others came out at some point. When they heard the conversation of the family of three, they all looked at each other. It sounds like the situation in Su Chen's family seems very complicated, and there are some hidden secrets.
In fact, when they first came here, they already felt a little strange. As members of the Su family, Su Shicheng and Xu Wei did not live in the Su family mansion, but lived in this simple house.
Could it be... something happened between Su Shicheng and his wife and the Su family?
Everyone looked at Su Chen curiously, their eyes full of concern and inquiry.
"It's a long story."
Su Chen said, and told everyone about the situation of Su Shicheng and his wife.
It turned out that Su Shicheng was actually a big shot. He was not an ordinary member of the Su family, but the biological son of Su Jingyun, the old patriarch of the Su family, and the only biological son.
Originally, Su Shicheng should have been the only heir to the position of the patriarch of the Su family, but in fact, Su Jingyun also had an adopted son, who was a few years older than Su Shicheng and was also adopted since childhood. His name was Su Shian.
Su Shian had a very high talent for cultivation since childhood, and his martial arts training was very good, which won Su Jingyun's favor. In comparison, Su Shicheng seemed to have mediocre talent and nothing outstanding.
More than a decade ago, Su Shicheng accidentally made a big mistake. During a major mission, he wasted a batch of valuable resources of the Su family, causing irreparable losses to the Su family.
Su Jingyun was naturally furious at that time, but he did not quarrel with his son because he was concerned about the relationship between father and son. He just severely reprimanded Su Shicheng in front of all the clan members.
But Su Shicheng was young and hot-tempered at that time. He could not bear the humiliation of losing face in front of everyone, so he stiffened his neck and argued with Su Jingyun.
The result was that Su Jingyun became even more furious. The father and son had a big quarrel and finally quarreled. Su Jingyun sent someone to drive Su Shicheng out of the family in anger.
There was another important reason why Su Shicheng was so wronged at that time. That was that he accidentally wasted the precious resources because Su Shian gave him the wrong information, which led to his wrong judgment and wasted the resources.
However, after the incident, Su Shian not only did not stand on his side, but also implied that Su Shicheng was stubborn and pushed all the responsibility to Su Shicheng, while he himself was clean.
Su Shicheng and Xu Wei were driven out of the Su family. At that time, Su Chen was already born and should have left the Su family with the couple. However, Su Shian forced Su Chen, who was only a few years old at the time, to stay in the Su family on the grounds that the direct blood of the Su family could not flow out, and did not allow Su Shicheng and his wife to take Su Chen away.
Su Chen stayed in the Su family, and old man Su Jingyun left Su Chen alone. Su Chen only had Xu Song, a servant, by his side.
Under Su Shi'an's intentional or unintentional suppression, the Su family, from top to bottom, was indifferent to Su Chen and were extremely demanding in terms of cultivation resources. It was almost impossible for Su Chen to obtain cultivation resources from the Su family. A young man with excellent talent was delayed to the point of being almost a waste.
