The Apocalypse of the Book: So What If I'm Just a Cannon Fodder? I Can Still Have Fun

125: The truth comes to lightAfter Wu Yao left, Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan discussed how the two of them should make their appearance.

”I think we should make a cool entrance.”

”When the time comes, let Xu Qing and the others play the role of men in black, and we two will be in the middle, making a cool entrance.”

Su Jinxuan stood there in a slouch, a smile on his face.

Su Mianmian: ”...”

She looked at Su Jinxuan, not knowing what to say, never expecting him to like such an entrance.

Was he being abstract or serious?

Su Mianmian looked at him curiously, as if trying to see his inner thoughts through his seemingly frivolous exterior.

”Brother, is this idea of yours serious or a joke?”

”Why do I feel a bit...”

Su Mianmian didn’t finish the rest of her sentence; it was New Year’s Eve, so she’d better not scold him, lest he complain that she scolds him all year round.

Su Mianmian said she wouldn’t take that blame.

”Mianmian, of course I’m serious. I’ve been watching a TV show these past few days, and the male lead makes his entrance exactly like that. I think it’s quite interesting.”

”Do you want me to find it and show it to you?”

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian excitedly, exclaiming.

Su Mianmian shook her head, rejecting him mercilessly: ”If you want to make an entrance like that, then go ahead, but I won’t be doing it. I think it’s so low.”

She looked at Su Jinxuan with disdain. So he had been poisoned by some things; no wonder he had been acting strange lately, with a strong chuunibyou vibe.

If he weren’t her older brother, she wouldn’t even bother with him.

Perhaps seeing Su Mianmian’s overly disgusted gaze, Su Jinxuan’s mind cleared a bit.

”It does seem a bit too much. So what method do you suggest for our entrance?”

”Are we going to enter with a shower of flower petals?”

”You girls seem to like that kind of romantic entrance.”

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian with confusion, curious.

Su Mianmian didn’t know what to say anymore. She really wanted to say that what she had just been thinking about was the timing of their entrance.

”We’ll make our entrance after Su Lie finds out that none of them are his children, and only we are his biological children.”

”But it’s better to wait a little longer, to make him regret it even more.”

”Though I don’t think he’ll regret anything.”

Su Mianmian smiled, her tone sarcastic.

Upon hearing this, Su Jinxuan couldn’t help but show a speechless expression.

”How could he possibly have any thoughts of regret?”

”To be so infatuated with a liar that he doesn’t care about anything or want anything, it’s truly unbelievable.”

”I don’t even understand what our mother saw in him.”

Su Jinxuan even wished they weren’t Su Lie’s biological children; having such a father, he felt extremely ashamed.

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan’s hateful expression, she reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him: ”This matter will be resolved soon. Once it’s over, we won’t have any worries.”

Su Jinxuan nodded, thinking she made sense.

Time passed quickly, and the Su Family was currently celebrating their ”reunion” on New Year’s Eve.

As Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan looked through the monitoring, seeing each of their faces filled with their own hidden agendas, both of them couldn’t help but smile.

”This family of theirs is quite interesting. There are only four people, but it feels like four people with hundreds of schemes.”

”It’s too interesting.”

Su Jinxuan watched them with a smile, as if watching a TV series.

Su Mianmian smiled; she only hoped that the good show would start soon.

She didn’t know if Su Ran would stand up, only hoping she wouldn’t disappoint her expectations.

Su Mianmian watched Su Ran, who was lost in thought, hoping she wouldn’t let her down.

Meanwhile, Su Ran was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

She wanted to speak up, but she was afraid of being tricked by Wu Yao.

Su Ran ate her meal distractedly. Li Mei, seeing this, was slightly puzzled: ”Su Ran, what’s wrong with you? It’s rare for us to eat together today, who are you giving that face to?”

Li Mei had felt that Su Ran was extremely off lately. Ever since she came down from upstairs, she hadn’t been getting along with her. She wouldn’t say anything when asked, and she looked spaced out all day long.

If she hadn’t helped her find someone to kill Wu Yao, she would have thought she had defected.

But if Su Ran really dared to defect, she would be finished.

Li Mei looked at Su Ran, her face full of vigilance.

Su Lie didn’t speak, he quietly ate his meal, as if he hadn’t heard Su Ran and Li Mei talking.

It was Su Yao, next to them, who burst out laughing when he heard his mother scolding Su Ran.

”Mom, my sister might be missing a man. I heard she gets lonely if she doesn’t have a man with her.”

”Why don’t we find a man to accompany her?”

Su Yao looked at Su Ran suggestively, making a suggestion.

Li Mei frowned upon hearing this, looking at Su Ran with disdain: ”If you really can’t stand it and want to find a man, then go out. Don’t sit here looking all lonely and desperate, it’s annoying to see.”

Su Ran had already been displeased when she heard Li Mei’s first disparaging remark.

Now, hearing Su Yao’s words, her heart was filled with extreme displeasure.

It was always like this. How much she usually doted on this younger brother. Every time he made a mistake, she was the one who sacrificed herself to clean up his mess.

The result... Su Ran felt that even a cow would know how to be grateful, but Su Yao didn’t understand at all.

Isn’t he very proud right now?

She wondered if he could still be proud later.

With their push, Su Ran had made up her mind to tell the truth.

”Dad, there’s something I don’t know if I should tell you.”

Su Ran looked at Su Lie with a serious expression, suddenly speaking.

Su Lie was stunned. He was quite fond of his daughter, Su Ran. Hearing her say that and seeing her conflicted expression, he nodded, his expression softening, and motioned: ”Just say whatever it is.”

Seeing this, Li Mei suddenly felt a little scared.

She instinctively opened her mouth to stop her: ”What could Ranran possibly have to say? Is she asking about when she’s going to the base?”

Su Ran ignored her warning. She didn’t even look at her, directly repeating what Wu Yao had told her.

”Dad, I met someone yesterday, it was Wu Yao, Butler Wu.”

”He said Mom wanted to kill him because he knew her secret.”

”That secret is, Su Yao is actually his child.”

”Although I love Mom very much, I think Mom’s behavior is wrong. She shouldn’t deceive you.”

After Su Ran finished speaking, she looked at Li Mei with a heartbroken expression, as if she was saying this to prevent Su Lie from being deceived.

After she finished these words, Li Mei immediately panicked.

”Mom, what’s going on? How could I be that butler’s child?”

”Is my sister lying to me?”

Su Yao was still young after all. Hearing that he was involved in such a big matter, he completely panicked.

He looked at Li Mei in disbelief, desperately wanting her to explain.

Su Lie was shocked, clearly not having expected that Li Mei would have put such a big ’hat’ on him.

”Su Ran, how could you believe Wu Yao’s one-sided story?”

”When did I try to kill him?”

”He just wanted to extort me, and when he couldn’t, he started making a fuss.”

”I didn’t cheat, and Su Yao is Su Lie’s child.”

Li Mei had, after all, experienced great storms. She panicked for a moment, then immediately recovered.

She looked at Su Ran with a condemning expression, but her eyes held hatred for her.

If she had known that Su Ran would pull such a stunt today, she would have definitely killed her first, to prevent her from ever speaking again.

This time, Su Lie did not easily believe Li Mei. He looked at Li Mei with a serious expression, seemingly judging whether her words had any truth to them.

Although Li Mei was very flustered inside, she pretended to be calm on the surface.

Su Ran worried that Su Lie would believe Li Mei’s words, so she quickly retorted: ”Mom, you’re my biological mother. If there wasn’t definite proof, how could I tell Dad? Dad, look, this is the paternity test Wu Yao gave me. He had it done a long time ago.”

Su Ran placed the paternity test on the table. Su Lie’s eyes scanned it, then he turned his head and glared at Li Mei, thundering: ”Li Mei, what more do you have to say?!”

When Li Mei saw the paternity test, she no longer had her previous composure.

She stared blankly at the paternity test, at a loss for words.

”How could Wu Yao have this?”

”How could he carry this with him?”

One must know that it wasn’t peacetime now; how could he carry this at all times?

Could it be that he had wanted to deal with her a long time ago?

Li Mei only felt fear.

She shivered, not knowing if it was from cold or fright.

Just then, a knock on the door came in.
