The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 122 - 126: The Creature Known as Phoenix Man (Part 10)

Chapter 122: Chapter 126: The Creature Known as Phoenix Man (Part 10)

Zheng Zhanpeng had been hesitating because he didn’t want to worsen the already poor impression the Su Family had of him, creating even greater rifts.

Anyway, as long as Su Qing was completely devoted to him, he would have no worries, and she naturally wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

But now that the Su Family had issued such a statement, it could only mean that Su Qing’s mother was truly angry.

Zheng Zhanpeng suddenly wasn’t so sure anymore.

In his panic, Zheng Zhanpeng agreed to his own mother’s suggestion.

Su Qing, holding a pregnancy test that displayed two horizontal bars, had a mournful look on her face as she flung herself at Zheng Zhanpeng, panic-stricken, "I, I’m pregnant..."

"Zhanpeng, I’m so scared..."

Zheng Zhanpeng’s high-suspended heart couldn’t help but break into a smile upon seeing the striking two lines.

He gently stroked Su Qing’s somewhat withered hair and said, "What’s there to be afraid of? If we’re having a baby, let’s have it."

"I’ll have my family start preparing right now, and we’ll go to your house to propose marriage."

Su Qing wanted to smile but couldn’t manage to.

It was, of course, a good thing that her boyfriend was taking responsibility, but just thinking back to the confrontation with her mother made her very apprehensive.

Moreover, after being rebuffed over the past few days, she had really come to understand her mother’s determination.

She could truly be hard-hearted towards her own daughter.

Former friends had one by one stopped associating with her; some even told her that Mr. Su had laid down the law – she was not to borrow the slightest bit of influence from the Su Family, or else it would be going against them.

But now that she was pregnant, Su Qing thought, surely even her hard-hearted mother wouldn’t completely neglect her.

Right up until now, Su Qing still firmly believed that everything her mother had done was to force her to return home and admit her wrongdoing.

Su Qing glanced at her flat stomach and at Zheng Zhanpeng, who was clearly overjoyed, and suddenly felt that if it meant bowing her head to her mother for their sakes, it might not be so bad.

She must have been too defiant before, and that’s why she had made her mother so angry.

After all this time, she had suffered enough – surely her mother’s anger should have subsided.

At this moment, Su Qing had completely forgotten the grand declarations she had once made in the presence of Su Li.

She was captivated by the beautiful future that Zheng Zhanpeng had painted for them.

If they knew she was pregnant, they would definitely agree; and if all else failed, she would just take drastic measures before seeking approval...

Su Qing had even thought of her way out.

Under Zheng Zhanpeng’s persuasion, Su Qing, after several months, finally made the first call to Su Li.

Her call was directly transferred to the secretary’s office.

"Why can’t I directly speak to my own mother anymore?"

"Sorry, Mr. Su is currently in a meeting. I will convey the message of your call to Mr. Su."

Su Li was reclining languidly in her comfortable office chair, twirling her pen in her hand, "Oh, she’s looking for me..."

After pondering playfully for a moment, Su Li sat up and said to her secretary, "Okay, I got it, you can go now."

Su Li continued studying the book in her hands until her eyes felt sour and hard to bear. Only then did she put it down, thought for a moment, and picked up the phone.

"You’re looking for me, what’s up?"

"...Mom, how can you do this to me, don’t you even want to answer my calls anymore?" Su Qing got angry as soon as she heard the harsh words from Su Li on the phone. She had already taken the initiative to give the other party a way out, yet what more did they expect her to do?

Su Li didn’t need to guess to know why Su Qing was calling.

"If you truly feel that you were wrong, then cut it off completely. The door to our home is always open to you, and you can come back at any time, but if you still want to talk about that poor boyfriend of yours, then you can save your breath. My stance remains the same, I do not agree."

Su Qing immediately burst into tears, her anger flaring up, and her usually soft voice became shrill, "I’m pregnant now, can you still say such things?"

Su Li had known all along, so she wasn’t surprised.

Such a naive girl, no wonder the Zheng Family liked her—she effortlessly brushed aside all obstacles without them having to put in much effort.

Su Li wasn’t like the original body, who both resented and loved her.

She snorted coldly, "You have two choices, abort the pregnancy, and you are still my daughter, or I won’t stand in your way, you can do whatever you want, but as far as my wealth is concerned, you won’t get a single dime."

Su Qing was furious. She shouted hoarsely, "I’m your only child, why can you be so heartless towards me..."

Su Li laughed coldly on the phone.

Su Qing probably also understood that she was the only child of the Su Family, and that was why she was so fearless.

It seemed that what Su Li said and did couldn’t make Su Qing realize more profoundly that if she truly decided to join a family as parasitic as a vampire, the Su Family would indeed sever ties with her.

"Send these Zheng Family documents to Su Qing." After hanging up the phone, Su Li asked her secretary to send over the disk of information on the Zheng Family that she had previously investigated.

The Zheng Family’s unsuitability as an in-law was evident in the data, which had everything.

There was also evidence of Zheng Zhanpeng’s mercenary intentions towards her.

If Su Qing’s mind was still set on pursuing that route, Su Li thought that she wouldn’t be able to save her, no matter her capabilities.

This was her way of fulfilling a responsibility to the original owner of the body.

Although the original owner’s wishes only mentioned her father and the Su Group, not her biological daughter Su Qing, Su Li figured that in the end, the original owner still wanted Su Qing to be well.

Even as a mother, even if the child is unbearable, the mother’s heart remains tender.

Su Li thought that it wasn’t that she hadn’t given Su Qing chances—one time, two times...but definitely not a third time.

A few days later, Su Qing returned to the villa, weary to her bones.

Only Su Fugui was leisurely playing chess by himself.

For his long-unseen granddaughter, he was overjoyed. He had wanted to contact his granddaughter long ago, but he was forced to hold back due to Su Li’s words.

The marriage of a woman is equivalent to a second reincarnation.

Su Fugui believed deeply in this saying. If you’re ruthless enough to cut off your granddaughter from that poor and scheming lad, then it’s worth it.

Look at her now, Su Qing must have realized her mistake and obediently come home.

Su Fugui joyfully bellowed towards the kitchen, "Qingqing is home, make some extra dishes she loves for lunch."

Su Qing kept a cold face, ignoring her grandfather and not even bothering with a greeting as she hurriedly ran upstairs, and soon after, she ran back down.

Su Fugui: "Qingqing, where are you going...aren’t you eating at home?"

When Su Li received a call from her own father, she knew that Su Qing still chose to be with the Zheng Family, even in poverty.

Or was she convinced that the Su Family couldn’t let her go?

The next day, before Su Li had arrived at the office, she received a call from the housekeeper, saying that her father had a heart attack from the anger.

Su Li’s expression darkened instantly, and she immediately turned the car around, heading straight home.
