Qiu Jieting clutched her swollen face, looking at Ye Ling in disbelief, not expecting Ye Ling to dare lay a hand on her.
"You dare hit me?"
"Your mouth is cheap, shouldn't it be hit?"
Ye Ling said coldly. Displeased with Qiu Jieting, he slapped her again, making the other half of her face symmetrical.
Qiu Jieting was stunned. She never imagined she would be slapped twice at home!
Seeing her swollen face like a pig's head in the mirror, Qiu Jieting felt like she was going crazy and lunged at Ye Ling!
"Ahhh! I'll fight you to the death!"
*Bang!*
Seeing Qiu Jieting lunge, Ye Ling mercilessly kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying out the door.
"When dealing with troublesome people, I don't distinguish between men and women."
Ye Ling said lightly, then looked at Su Ruoxue, who was still stunned, and his tone softened. "Ruoxue, is this how your family usually treats you?"
Qiu Jieting's words earlier had treated Su Ruoxue purely as a tool for a political marriage, wanting to marry her off to save the Su family from their financial crisis.
Even an outsider like Qiu Jieting dared to treat Su Ruoxue so inhumanely. It was imaginable how terrible Su Ruoxue's status was in the Su family.
Before Su Ruoxue could recover, a shout came from outside the door, "Jieting, who hit you?"
"It's that gigolo your cousin is keeping! I was kindly trying to advise your sister, and that gigolo just attacked me!"
"I married into your Su family, but I haven't enjoyed any blessings, only suffering with you. Now your wife is being beaten at home, and you can still tolerate it?"
Qiu Jieting fanned the flames outside, and then Su Youcheng, with a grim expression, walked into Su Ruoxue's bedroom.
Qiu Jieting followed behind.
Clutching her stomach, she glared at Ye Ling and Su Ruoxue with hatred and said, "Look at Su Ruoxue, she even brought a gigolo home. Does the Su family indulge her so much?"
Su Youcheng stared at Su Ruoxue and asked, "Ruoxue, what's going on? Why is there an extra man in the house?"
Ye Ling stood in front of Su Ruoxue and looked at Su Youcheng, saying, "It's the 21st century. Does Ruoxue need to tell you when she has a boyfriend?"
When the Ye family and Su family were on good terms, Ye Ling had met Su Youcheng a few times. Back then, Su Youcheng was no different from Jiang Tianhao, a complete playboy.
After these few years, Su Youcheng seemed to have matured a bit, but his essence remained unchanged.
The Su family's decline was not unrelated to Su Youcheng making enemies everywhere.
Now that the Su family was in trouble, instead of actively finding solutions, they were relying on selling Su Ruoxue to gain financial support from other families.
Su Youcheng's actions made him even more like a complete good-for-nothing.
"I'm asking Su Ruoxue, what's it to you?"
Su Youcheng, not recognizing Ye Ling, said impatiently with an unfriendly tone.
Su Ruoxue's failed marriage to the Jiang family had cost their Su family a chance to turn things around. Su Youcheng's quality of life was declining daily, and he was extremely irritable.
He wished a rich young master would take Su Ruoxue away and give him a large sum of money!
"After all these years, still a good-for-nothing."
Ye Ling said to Su Youcheng without politeness, instantly turning Su Youcheng's face green.
Qiu Jieting behind him screamed, "This gigolo is talking to you like that? Can you still tolerate it? Beat him!"
Hearing Qiu Jieting's instigation, Su Youcheng couldn't help himself. He raised his fist and swung it at Ye Ling, "I'll kill you right now!"
However, Su Youcheng shouted loudly, but his punch was soft and was easily caught by Ye Ling.
Su Youcheng's expression changed slightly. He tried to struggle with all his might, but his hand felt as if it were embedded in cement, completely immovable!
'What kind of strength is this?'
Su Youcheng was startled by Ye Ling's immense strength and stared at Ye Ling in terror.
Ye Ling said coldly, "Considering you're Ruoxue's cousin, I'll let you off this time. You'd better know your place."
Ye Ling released Su Youcheng, and Su Youcheng retreated several steps!
Ignoring Su Youcheng any further, Ye Ling took Su Ruoxue's hand and led her towards the door.
Su Youcheng watched Ye Ling and Su Ruoxue leave from the side, his face extremely grim, but he didn't dare to stop them.
Seeing Su Youcheng let Ye Ling and Su Ruoxue leave just like that, Qiu Jieting immediately pointed at Su Youcheng and cursed, "How did I marry such a good-for-nothing like you? They're already riding on your head, and you don't even dare to fart!"
"Shut up!"
Su Youcheng was also annoyed by Qiu Jieting's scolding and slapped her fiercely across the face, stunning Qiu Jieting!
Then Su Youcheng no longer paid attention to the raging Qiu Jieting and quickly walked out of the room.
"This life is unbearable!!!"
Qiu Jieting's screams came from inside the room, clearly heard by the nannies outside.
However, everyone was secretly smiling and in a good mood.
Qiu Jieting was usually sharp-tongued and extremely strict with the nannies, often beating and scolding them.
Everyone harbored resentment, but Qiu Jieting was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family, and the Qiu family behind her was also a not-so-small wealthy family. Even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not show it openly.
If Qiu Jieting caught them, the consequences would be dire!
Now that Qiu Jieting was in trouble, everyone was extremely pleased and secretly gave Ye Ling a thumbs-up.
In the hall of the Su family villa.
Su Xing and Su Cheng and others were already seated, watching Ye Ling lead Su Ruoxue downstairs.
The commotion upstairs was so loud that the Su family members, who were having breakfast, stopped eating.
The atmosphere in the entire Su family was extremely oppressive.
Su Xing, leaning on his cane, had a cold, old face, so grim it looked like water was about to drip out.
Su Cheng and the second son, Su He, sat on either side of Su Xing. The third daughter, Su Qian, was still eating breakfast at the table, seemingly unconcerned.
Although Su He was the second son of the Su family, besides Su Xing, Su He was the de facto head.
The Su family's financial problems were precisely due to Su He's poor management.
Ye Ling brought Su Ruoxue to everyone and bowed slightly, saying, "Grandfather, Uncle, second Uncle, Ye Ling has disturbed you."
"You're Ye Ling!"
Su Cheng's face was filled with shock upon seeing Ye Ling, and his heart was stirred by a tempestuous wave!
"Aren't you..." Su Cheng looked at Ye Ling excitedly, unable to speak.
It was Su Cheng who was friends with Ye Shan back then. When the Ye family had trouble, Su Cheng represented the Su family in supporting the Ye family.
Unfortunately, it was precisely because of this that Su Cheng's influence in the Su family was reduced to the lowest point, otherwise, he wouldn't even be unable to protect his own daughter.
"Ye Ling? Is that kid from the Ye family?"
Su Xing frowned and asked Su Cheng.
Su Cheng quickly replied, "Yes, Father. Ye Ling is Ye Shan's son."
Su He, standing beside them, said sarcastically, "The Ye family was gone six years ago. Even if this kid was lucky enough to survive back then, he's just a poor boy now. Is he worthy of our Ruoxue?"
"Since everyone is here today, I might as well mention something."
"Now that the Jiang family has fallen, I've contacted the Sun family in Shanghai. The Sun family happens to have an unmarried young master who is interested in marrying our Ruoxue. I think this matter can be considered!"
As soon as Su He said this, Su Ruoxue's expression changed!
