Marriage First, Love Later: The Soft and Obedient Little Wife of Mr. Lu - Chapter 75: Why Is Old Sui Here?

Chapter 75: Why Is Old Sui Here?

Shen Tangyu’s house was located in a newly developed affluent area of Haishi. It was surprising that despite having only recently arrived in Haishi, he had already acquired a decent property through his own efforts.

The car entered the residential area and stopped in front of an upscale villa. Song Shimu rang the doorbell, and after a moment, the door opened from the inside, revealing a young, handsome man.

He had an innocent appearance with strikingly beautiful almond-shaped eyes and a tear mole beneath them that made him look delicate and captivating. His skin was fair, and his figure was slender.

Song Shimu paused for a moment, confirming, Excuse me, is this Mr. Shen Tangyu’s residence?

Yes, please come in, Young Master Lu and Mrs. Lu. Brother Shen is waiting for you inside.

The boy’s voice was clear and sunny. Song Shimu felt the boy looked somewhat familiar but couldn’t recall where he had seen him before. Meanwhile, Lu Zhijin frowned almost imperceptibly.

Shimu, you’re here?

Shen Tangyu, dressed in casual homewear, tall and long-legged, was coming downstairs holding a book when he saw them enter.

Fanfan, go brew a pot of tea.

The boy obediently headed to the kitchen. Song Shimu’s curious eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. Lu Zhijin, staring coldly at the boy’s retreating figure, pressed further.

Why is Bai Fan at your place?

You know him? Song Shimu asked in surprise, turning to look at him.

Sui Xiying’s fake husband.

With Lu Zhijin’s reminder, Song Shimu finally remembered why the boy looked so familiar!

During Old Sui’s birthday celebration last time, when Sui Xiying and Sui Zekai were fighting over the family inheritance, Sui Xiying had claimed she was pregnant. Everyone present had witnessed the Sui Family’s major scandal.

Old Sui’s attending physician and the father of Sui Xiying’s child—wasn’t it this very boy?

But why was he here?

And what was his relationship with Shen Tangyu? Judging by their demeanor, their relationship seemed anything but ordinary.

According to Lu Zhijin’s investigation, Bai Fan had disappeared along with Old Sui. Could it be…

Young Master Lu has quite the memory.

Shen Tangyu leaned back on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the slender figure in the kitchen, a faint smile playing on his lips.

This is also the gift I wanted to show you. Follow me.

The three of them went upstairs together. Shen Tangyu opened the door to a bedroom, and Song Shimu’s eyes widened in astonishment.

The bedroom was quite spacious and didn’t resemble an ordinary room at all—it looked more like a hospital ward, filled with various medical equipment.

And lying on the bed was a sickly old man—wasn’t that Old Sui!

It seemed Old Sui had been severely tormented by illness. His cheeks were sunken, dark circles shadowed his eyes, and he was emaciated, lying so still on the bed that the covers showed no rise and fall. Tubes were inserted all over his body.

Why is Old Sui here?

Song Shimu whispered in shock, looking at Shen Tangyu in disbelief. How could this guy, who had only been in Haishi for a short while, pull off such a earth-shattering move!

Shen Tangyu, wearing frameless glasses, had an enigmatic smile in his eyes behind the lenses. He gently closed the door and explained in a calm, casual tone.

While punishing a misbehaving child, I happened to pick up an old man along the way.

Shen Tangyu glanced at his watch, then looked at Lu Zhijin, who was frowning with a serious expression.

Old Sui will probably wake up soon. He has something to discuss with you.

Lu Zhijin pondered for a moment, then gave Song Shimu a reassuring look before opening the door and re-entering the room. He, too, had many questions to ask Old Sui.

What exactly is going on, Uncle! And what’s the deal between you and Sui Xiying’s husband?

Song Shimu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, her craving for gossip making her restless! How did Shen Tangyu have so many hidden secrets!

Bai Fan is the kid I’ve been chasing all along, Shen Tangyu explained with a smile, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

Then how did he end up marrying Sui Xiying? And Sui Xiying is pregnant with his child?

That’s not my child she’s carrying! I’m naturally gay—I can’t even get hard for women!

Bai Fan walked over carrying a tea tray, his delicate eyebrows furrowed, almond-shaped eyes showing some frustration as he looked at Shen Tangyu beside him, mixed with a hint of regret.

Bai Fan was someone Shen Tangyu met during university. At the time, Bai Fan was still in high school. Coming from a poor family, he was often bullied and had learned from childhood how to read people’s expressions.

Back then, he could tell Shen Tangyu came from a wealthy family, was good-looking and had a pleasant personality, so he deliberately seduced him, successfully turning a perfectly straight man gay.

Their relationship wasn’t smooth sailing either. Shen Tangyu came out to his family for Bai Fan, but then Bai Fan suddenly broke up with him.

When Bai Fan returned to the country, he was bribed by Sui Xiying. Initially, he was just taking care of Old Sui and helping Sui Xiying act out a scene—retrieving a tube of frozen sperm from the hospital was simply a minor task.

But later, Bai Fan discovered that Sui Xiying was truly ruthless and decisive—she actually wanted him to add other substances to Old Sui’s medication.

He pretended to agree but secretly switched the medicine. Old Sui gradually regained consciousness, and before Sui Xiying could notice, Bai Fan fled with the old man.

Bai Fan initially hid in a small hotel, but Old Sui’s health couldn’t withstand it. Continuing like this would eventually lead to discovery. At his wit’s end, Bai Fan dialed Shen Tangyu’s number.

Many details were left unspoken by Bai Fan, and Song Shimu didn’t press further. Leaning her arm on the sofa backrest, her gossip-filled eyes shifted between the two of them.

So what’s the situation between you two now?

The kid is trying to make amends.

Shen Tangyu looked completely at ease, lifting his teacup to take a gentle sip, the corners of his eyes carrying the triumphant smile of a fox.

Bai Fan pressed his lips together, lowering his head while fidgeting with his fingers as if admitting fault, presenting the image of a pitiful little white rabbit.

Well! Song Shimu could see it clearly—the old fox had him completely under control! Bai Fan was no match for that cunning old fox!

Soon after, Lu Zhijin came downstairs, his eyes frosty, expression grim, and aura icy cold.

A Jin, what did he say?

Nothing important.

Lu Zhijin’s voice was deep and cold. He wants Lu Yike to acknowledge his roots in the Sui Family. I didn’t agree.

At the time, Old Sui was barely breathing but stubbornly insisted on his idea, attempting to make Lu Yike return to the Sui Family and promising that all the Sui family assets would go to Lu Yike.

Lu Zhijin stood coldly by the bedside, hands in his pockets, showing not a trace of emotion toward the weakened old man on the sickbed. His eyes were merciless, his tone icy.

Not necessary. Lu Yike is a child of the Lu Family. We don’t care for that bit of family fortune!

How much longer can he live?

Lu Zhijin asked the relaxed Shen Tangyu, who was in good spirits, lifting a finger to play with Bai Fan’s hair.

Shen Tangyu gently brushed Bai Fan’s small ear with his index finger, watching as that ear flushed red, then heard Bai Fan’s soft response.

His bodily functions are already failing, he’s only being kept alive by machines. He has at most a month left.

Hmph! Then he won’t be able to cause any more trouble. A dangerous glint flashed in Lu Zhijin’s eyes.

How do you plan to handle this? Leaving him here could easily lead to problems.

Song Shimu couldn’t help but ask Shen Tangyu. If Old Sui were to pass away here, it would definitely draw police attention.

Since he’s no longer useful, just throw him to Sui Xiying. Shen Tangyu said indifferently, his eyes never leaving Bai Fan’s retreating figure.

Bai Fan ran into the room and soon returned with a small box, handing it to Lu Zhijin.

These are the materials I collected from Sui Xiying. They contain evidence of her crimes that should be helpful to you.

Lu Zhijin’s expression froze momentarily. With this evidence, Sui Xiying would never be able to make a comeback!
