Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 848: Henpecked Husband
At the end of the day, she was just a chess piece, after all.
Su Rumei pinched the bridge of her nose, leaning wearily against the back of the sofa.
If it weren’t for this matter, she might have forgotten that she, too, was someone else’s chess piece and not the grand lady of the Su Family.
What a joke, the grand lady of the Su Family? How could the Su Family possibly have a daughter?
Back then, Mr. Su was just an orphan selling his labor on the street, with no relatives at all, but happened to be lucky enough to save a rich young lady, and the two of them ended up forming a romantic bond.
The rich young lady’s family was full of sons, and she was their precious daughter. Eventually, they reluctantly agreed to the marriage after her persistent insistence.
After marriage, Mr. Su proved himself capable, managing to support a small family with his skills, and they even had two adorable sons.
But who knew the good times wouldn’t last long? The chaos of war reached them, and Mr. Su transformed from a street laborer into an underground worker.
His two sons were arranged by the organization to go elsewhere, but the identity of the rich young lady was too conspicuous, rendering her immovable.
Later, the city they were in fell, and Mr. Su and the rich young lady became separated.
It was said that the rich young lady died in the chaos of war.
Because someone saw one of the rich young lady’s maids killed by an enemy’s bayonet.
Only Mr. Su remained steadfast in his belief that the rich young lady did not die, staying faithful to her throughout his life.
Even when the organization later arranged potential re-marriage for him, he rejected them.
And the reason he decided to adopt her...
Thinking of this, Su Rumei laughed coldly. It was simply because her father, Su Dahah, happened to be one of Mr. Su’s soldiers and had once shielded Mr. Su from a bullet.
What Mr. Su didn’t know was that her mother also had ties to the Su Family, as her mother was another maid of the rich young lady.
As for Mr. Su adopting her, Su Rumei believed that the aforementioned reasons were just for the other members of the Su Family to hear. The real reason was the jade pendant around her neck.
According to her mother, it was part of the rich young lady’s dowry and was generously given to her mother.
Therefore, she used this item to catch Mr. Su’s eye and became the only daughter of the Su Family, envied by outsiders as the Su Family’s grand lady.
Yet no one ever knew she had another identity.
An identity she herself wanted to forget.
"The master said you need to get that thing as soon as possible," the man said. "This is our chance to redeem ourselves."
"That thing is in the old man’s study, and I have no chance to get in there," Su Rumei said angrily. "Ever since that old guy lost his memory, he’s treated me even worse."
Previously, she received similar treatment as his two sons; when she returned, Sister-in-law Liu would prepare delicious food for her. But now he looked at her with disgust.
Please, she wasn’t an idiot. How could she not notice the disdain?
It was truly infuriating!
"But rest assured, I’ve already thought of a way to deal with him." Su Rumei gave a cold laugh. "It’s just that there’s a hidden compartment in that study, and I haven’t been able to get the code yet."
She had seen the hidden compartment, and if the code was entered incorrectly even once, it would trigger an alarm.
Damn it!
"Let’s do this first..." Su Rumei beckoned, and the man leaned in as she whispered a few words in his ear.
"Will this work?" the man asked in confusion.
"This is his lifelong wish, after all," Su Rumei’s lips curled into a slight smile. She couldn’t believe this wouldn’t be enough to destroy that old man.
