Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 634 - 257: Let It All Go to Ruin
Pello’s expression changed immediately. Ziceng wanted to talk to him, could it be about her relationship with Hang Yishao? The newspapers didn’t mention whether Su Ziceng had accepted Hang Yishao’s proposal or not, meaning she hadn’t decided yet.
"Let’s delay this matter. We’ll talk when I return. Until then, do not mention the photo incident to anyone," Pello’s face miraculously brightened. He first walked to the window, took a look outside, then picked up his coat, and before leaving the study, he asked, "Do I look alright?"
Yang Wuxu was stunned, "Very good." Born from love, borne by hate? The hurried footsteps in the corridor revealed Pello’s current mood.
"Clearly in love, yet putting on an air of keeping people at a thousand miles distance, men are indeed detestable," Yang Wuxu stared at the forcefully torn newspaper, "Su Hang Star"; so Chairman Su had been hiding such a trump card.
"But it doesn’t matter now, I no longer care about that money, Su Ziceng, my goods are just like your clothes, in high demand," Yang Wuxu laughed crisply. In the past week, those medicines she and Fei Qing had, had already brought her over a million in profit. It won’t be long before even Pello can’t blackmail her anymore. She would certainly publish these photos, letting everyone in the world know about Su Ziceng’s scandal.
When Pello walked into the garden, he only saw Su Qingzhang alone. His steps slowed down, looking suspiciously around.
"Ziceng said she had something to attend to, so she went back first," Su Qingzhang perceived Pello’s intentions.
Gone back? The chill in his heart surged, a flash of lightning streaked across Pello’s eyes. What was this, was she playing with him?
"It was I who had the butler tell you so," Su Qingzhang knew that if he used his own name, Pello would likely refuse outright, and what he needed to discuss with Pello was very important.
Pello snorted, he truly had nothing to say to Su Qingzhang.
"I am very thankful that you saved my life when I was seeking death," Su Qingzhang still remembered the deadly cold winds from descending from the Golden Coast, which had almost turned him into a coward.
"Also, thank you for taking over and employing the staff from Su family," after the Su family went bankrupt, Pello took over most of the bankrupt businesses under the Su family.
Pello didn’t care about these thanks; he did all this only because... because he didn’t want Su Ziceng to be too embarrassed. Her indifferent performance at the engagement ceremony had really distressed him.
"If this is all you want to talk about, Mr. Su, then you must be misunderstanding something." Su Qingzhang looked down at Su Qingzhang, "Everything I did was to take everything away from you; your business, your happiness, and even including your daughter."
"So have you gotten your wish?" Su Qingzhang countered, his amber eyes directly staring into Pello’s dark blue eyes.
"I had already gotten my wish," Pello gritted his teeth, "but I didn’t expect you still had a trick up your sleeve, Su Hang Star. Chairman Su, you almost fooled everyone."
"Yes," Su Qingzhang moved his wheelchair, "I fooled everyone’s eyes, but I couldn’t fool two people, one is your mother, and the other is Ziceng’s mother."
"Ye Taina and Qiao Chu? They are just two foolish women deceived by you," Pello became a roaring lion upon hearing Su Qingzhang mention Ye Taina, and harsh words erupted from him.
"Please do not insult them, one of them is your mother," Su Qingzhang involuntarily gripped the wheelchair’s armrests tightly.
"Mother? Mr. Su, upon hearing this term, I regret not pushing you down from the roof. You acknowledge a woman who abandoned her husband and child as a mother; she only gave birth to me and never truly loved me." Pello’s voice shook the snow from the trees, falling on both men.
The snow did not extinguish the fire of rage between them, Su Qingzhang seemed resolved as he forcefully said: "Have you ever been to Africa to see Mussen Jewelry’s diamond fields?"
Pello didn’t understand why Su Qingzhang was changing the topic to this.
"Ye Taina never loved me, she always loved your father from the beginning to the end," Su Qingzhang gasped hard after saying this. This long-concealed fact had always been woven with lies of love by him.
"People are already dead, of course, you can say that, you always refused to admit, that you killed her with your own hands, you’re a coward, a coward who dares not admit the truth," Pello’s words turned Su Qingzhang’s face even paler.
"I... speak only the truth, if you want to know the truth, you can go to Africa, to search for the true facts. I did not kill her, I just... couldn’t stop her." Su Qingzhang said, lowering his head. He looked at his feet, his completely numb feet, as if countless hand bones were climbing up again.
The African nightmare was something he always wanted to forget, how much courage did Ye Taina use to jump into that "hell".
"I will not believe your words," after inheriting the Earl title, Pello directly went to Country Z, he hadn’t had the chance to go to Africa and inspect the Munsen family’s ventures there. For centuries, the diamond mines in Africa had been the Munsen family’s largest source of income, there seemed to be no factor there that would drive Ye Taina to seek death.
"You will regret this," Su Qingzhang had no more words left, he wheeled his chair, leaving the old villa. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to visit Qidian (Qidian.com) to vote with your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
