Source Of Calamity - Ch 26

When Su Yutong received the invitation message, he was in a daze. After repeatedly confirming that the inviter’s name was Shen Zhen, he said to his sister in a daze, “Sister, am I dreaming?”

Su Yutong’s sister, Su Jinghan, took Su Yutong’s cell phone over. She was also a little dumbfounded, but she quickly reacted and crossed her arms over her chest, “Speak, have you talked to Shen Zhen a long time ago? Hmmph, you still want to hide it from me, are you playing with me?!”

“No, I really haven’t talked to him before.” Su Yutong was even more aggrieved, “It’s not like you don’t know that Shen Zhen doesn’t go to social occasions at all now, and even if I want to talk to him, I wouldn’t be able to.”

Since the last business world social gathering, everyone in the circle had heard of Shen Zhen’s name.

The speed of information dissemination in this circle was very fast, the news that Shen Zhen was valued by Qin Xing and was being brought with him all the time had flown out as if it had grown wings.

Almost every family wanted to befriend this young man.

What did it mean to be young? Not deeply knowledgeable of the world, easy to fool.

Even if Shen Zhen didn’t have any real power in the Qin family, so long as he could stay by Qin Xing’s side and talk to Qin Xing, his value could not be easily measured.

Of course, Su Yutong also wanted to talk to Shen Zhen, but on the one hand, he couldn’t get in touch with Shen Zhen, and on the other hand, Su Shiqing existed.

“Besides, with that mental case Su Shiqing there, I’m afraid Shen Zhen would beat me up.” Su Yutong was also full of bitterness.

Su Jinghan said with a smile: “What do you care about Su Shiqing? He is the kind of person who can only rely on others for his livelihood. If Qin Yue loses power, he will be in trouble.”

Su Yutong rolled his eyes: “How could it be as simple as that. You don’t know what he is capable of? Zhang Ziqiao is coming back to China, and there will be a lot of troubles then.”

Zhang Ziqiao used to live in the Su family house. Originally, Su Yutong had the best relationship with him, but inexplicably, Zhang Ziqiao and Su Shiqing suddenly began to get along even better. He even scolded him for Su Shiqing, saying that he had no brotherly affection for his younger cousin, and that since they have bullied him Su Shiqing like this, when he, Zhang Ziqiao, succeeded in the future, he wouldn’t subject Su Shiqing to this kind of torment again.

“Don’t mention him.” Su Jinghan’s face turned dark. She had crushed on Zhang Ziqiao once, but Zhang Ziqiao always thought she was a scheming whore, and believed that the reason why she was targeting Su Shiqing was because of jealousy.

As Su Shiqing’s eldest cousins, Su Yutong and Su Jinghan held the absolute right to speak in the Su family except for their own father, from childhood to adulthood.

“Apart from us, Shen Zhen is probably the only one who knows Su Shiqing’s true face.” The wheels in Su Jinghan’s brain turned quickly, “Why did he choose to contact you at this time? Wait, did you know that Baiyun has been acquired?”

Su Yutong: “I know, the boss of Baiyun is now Shen Zhen.”

Su Jinghan smiled: “Go, don’t worry, Su Shiqing is going to be unlucky, our good days are finally here.”

Su Yutong also understood. He stood up excitedly, hugged his sister, and said with a smile: “Since Su Shiqing sucked up to Qin Yue, Qin Yue has always caused us trouble. I have long wanted to do something.”

“The one behind Shen Zhen is Qin Xing.” Su Jinghan said, “Which makes Shen Zhen more valuable than Qin Yue. You must be tactful and smart when speaking, understand?”

Su Yutong: “Understood!”

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Shen Zhen sat in the coffee shop where he had an appointment with Su Yutong, and ordered a cup of scented tea and sat with a book in his hand. This was Shen Zhen’s habit. He would never be late or have others wait for him. He would always arrive at the agreed place half an hour earlier.

When Su Yutong arrived, he saw Shen Zhen sitting by the window through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows.

He had seen Shen Zhen’s photo, but never seen Shen Zhen’s real person.

The sun shone on Shen Zhen’s face, adding some warmth to him. He was wearing an off-white turtleneck sweater and a khaki wool coat over it. His facial features were exquisite, but they added a bit of sharpness, giving him an aloof aura and making it not easy to approach him.

There was a cup of tea by his left hand, but his eyes were on the open book.

Su Yutong stood there watching for a while, only to realize that Shen Zhen was reading “Wuthering Heights”.

For some reason, Su Yutong suddenly didn’t want to go in. He just wanted to stand here and watch Shen Zhen read a book quietly. This scene was so beautiful that he didn’t want to disturb and shatter it.

But Shen Zhen saw Su Yutong.

He smiled at Su Yutong who was standing outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

That smile melted the cold aura surrounding him, and made him fall from a high pedestal to the mortal world.

Su Yutong quickly came back to his senses, he actually fell into a trance just now watching another man, this realization made his face slightly redden.

Su Yutong walked into the coffee shop and went straight to the booth where Shen Zhen was sitting. He stretched out his hand to Shen Zhen: “Young Master Shen.”

Shen Zhen shook his hand back: “Young Master Su.”

“Please have a seat.” Shen Zhen reached out and gestured at the chair.

Su Yutong sat down. He was a little nervous at meeting Shen Zhen for the first time.

To be precise, the Su family had not stepped into the upper class for a long time. They were just lingering on the edges, unable to go up, and dare not go down, living their lives in fear.

“Young Master Shen.” Su Yutong asked cautiously, “You called me over because of Su Shiqing’s business, right?”

Shen Zhen also poured a cup of tea for Su Yutong. His movements were very elegant. Shen Zhen’s fingers were like flawless porcelain, with well-defined joints, round fingertips, and his hands exemplified his person. He said softly, “Young Master Su guessed right.”

Su Yutong heaved a sigh of relief. He looked around to make sure there was no one around and said: “Now that Su Shiqing is with Qin Yue and lives in Qin Yue’s house, he hasn’t been back to the Su family home for a long time.”

The implication was that there was really nothing he could do.

“But Young Master Shen, don’t worry.” Su Yutong said, “If there is anything you want me to do, just say it.”

Shen Zhen smiled and said: “Young Master Su is indeed a smart person, since that’s the case, then I’ll say it.”

Su Yutong was only afraid that Shen Zhen had nothing to ask of him, so he quickly looked at Shen Zhen seriously, not letting go of every word Shen Zhen said.

Shen Zhen said, “I want Su Shiqing to be expelled from the Su family.”

“Of course, I won’t forget the Su family’s due benefits.” Shen Zhen said, “I have a real estate project in my hand, and I haven’t found anyone to take over the garden planning and rough interior decoration.”

Shen Zhen added: “This project is worth tens of billions of yuan. I can’t disclose the exact amount yet, but I can give you a guarantee. In addition to this benefit, I will bring you and your sister to the gatherings of the Qin family in the future.”

Su Yutong swallowed a mouthful of saliva: “Just delisting his name?”

So many benefits, for only this one requirement?

Shen Zhen took a sip of tea: “How does Young Master Su feel?”

Su Yutong: “Young Master Shen, of course it’s not a problem, but you…..”

He felt that Shen Zhen gave too many benefits, which were not equal to the expulsion of mere Su Shiqing, and he was a little anxious.

Shen Zhen smiled and said, “You will understand later.”

How much did Su Yutong and Su Jinghan hate Su Shiqing? This hatred was not less than his own, so why couldn’t he take the Su family under his command? Once the Su family boarded his ship, could they still disembark?

Would Su Shiqing still feel good when he finds out that the formerly weak Su family had become powerful, but he wouldn’t get any benefits from the Su family?

At that time, Su Yutong and his siblings would trample Su Shiqing into the mud without him having to say a word himself.

Moreover, once Su Shiqing was expelled from the Su family, Qin Yue would definitely find a way to send him to the Shen family. His younger brothers were not simple people, a scuffle would start, and maybe even Qin Yue could be pulled down his high horse.

Shen Zhen smiled uncontrollably: “Young Master Su, forgive me for asking, do you have any old grievances with Su Shiqing?”

Su Yutong knew that this was to show his loyalty, so he quickly said, “Su Shiqing and I have had a grudge since we were young.”

Su Yutong gave a few examples.

He was the eldest son of the Su family, and he didn’t have any prejudice against Su Shiqing at first. After all, he would be the head of the family in the future, so he should be more tolerant to his younger siblings, but Su Shiqing had been different since he was a child.

Su Yutong sometimes disciplined his younger siblings.

Only Su Shiqing, before he even said anything, Su Shiqing would start crying.

At that time, the family didn’t know about Su Shiqing’s disgusting behavior, so his father scolded him a few times.

The most serious time was when Su Shiqing took his things, and he went to ask for them back, but Su Shiqing refused to give them while crying, and so Su Yutong went to grab them himself, and was discovered again.

Just imagine, one was grabbing things fiercely, and the other cried with his head in his arms. Everyone would only sympathize with Su Shiqing, thinking that Su Yutong bullied the weak. No matter how Su Yutong explained, no one in his family believed him except his sister.

This was just a childhood dispute.

Big and small things have accumulated since childhood, and Su Yutong now felt physically nauseated when he saw Su Shiqing. He didn’t understand how there could be such a person in this world.

There was also his sister Su Jinghan. The two of them were siblings with the same parents, twins. They were born barely minutes apart from each other. Most twins had a shared sense, almost telepathy, and could feel each other’s emotions.

Su Jinghan also suffered many wrongs.

The twins share the same grudge and hated Su Shiqing down to the bone.

“Young Master Su, happy cooperating.” Shen Zhen closed the book, stood up and stretched out his hand.

Su Yutong also stood up very flattered, and shook hands with Shen Zhen: “Since Young Master Shen trusts me, of course I will do this well.”

Shen Zhen smiled at him encouragingly. What Shen Zhen didn’t know was that his smile was exactly the same as Qin Xing’s.

Su Yutong blushed from this smile, lowered his head and said, “It will definitely be done.”

Shen Zhen: “Then I will wait and see.”

After Shen Zhen left, Su Yutong called Su Jinghan: “Sister, you guessed right, it is indeed about Su Shiqing, I will go back and talk to you in detail, please help me to inform Father and Second Uncle, we’ll have a family meeting when I get back.”

Su Jinghan was confused: “What kind of meeting?”

Su Yutong grinned: “Family meeting, to remove Su Shiqing from the Su family.”

Su Jinghan: “Second Uncle and the others may not agree.”

Su Yutong sneered: “If there is profit, they will agree.”

Su Jinghan: “That’s fine, you first organize your words.”

Su Yutong said excitedly: “There is another good news, don’t get too excited after hearing it.”

Su Jinghan: “Speak.”

Su Yutong deliberately added suspense: “I’ll tell you when I get back.”

Su Jinghan: “…..”

Su Jinghan: “Su Yutong, let me tell you, speaking only in halves can make people panic to death. I curse you to eat only uncooked or overcooked food in the future!”
