The Surrogate Bride of Young General Leng - Chapter 30 - Greed Has No Limits

Soon, Su Rupqing’s foster parents arrived at the Young General’s villa.

The guard at the gate had already known them, so he brought them in without too much hesitation.

The maid served them tea and said, “Please wait a moment. I’ll tell Miss Su to go downstairs.”

Since they got more respectful treatment than last time, Su Ruoqing’s foster parents exchanged glances. They were sure that Su Ruoqing indeed had a high status in the Leng family, and perhaps she had won the favor of Leng Yuhe.

After the maid informed Su Ruoqing of her foster parents’ arrival, Su Ruoqing couldn’t help sneering.

A few days ago, Mingzhu had a big fight with Mingzhe, and she ran to the Young Marshal’s villa crying, telling Su Ruoqing the whole story. However, Su Ruoqing didn’t expect her foster parents to come so quickly. It seemed that they were really greedy.

She specially put on a magnificent cheongsam made of gold threads, wore a few pieces of jewelry given by Leng Yuhe and then slowly went downstairs.

“Your status has been elevated after you became the Young General’s wife. Even your parents have to wait for you,” said her foster mother unkindly.

Su Ruoqing had been used to her sarcasm and didn’t feel depressed at all.

“Mother, don’t be angry. It’s my fault. I do wonder why you two came here today.”

Her attitude was so humble that her foster mother was unaware of her sarcasm.

Before she was about to speak, his husband interrupted her. “As your parents, we come to visit and care for you.” Whether they wanted to admit it or not, Su Ruoqing indeed had a higher social status than them, which meant they couldn’t treat her with the original attitude.

“It seems that you’re curious about why we’re here. Actually, we are here to show thanks to the Young General for his investment in our factory.”

“Yuhe has been very busy lately, and he’s not at home, so…”

“You’re his fiancee, so you can express gratitude to him on behalf of us…”

Seeing that her foster father paused for a moment, Su Ruoqing only felt funny. As the saying goes, greed has no limits. They came here to ask for benefits within a few days, and even their attitude became more friendly than ever. Su Ruoqing was really curious what they wanted to get this time.

Her foster father rubbed his hands and said, “Because of the Young Marshal’s investment, the factory has been operating very well. More and more sellers want to cooperate with us.”

“This is a good thing. Congratulations to you, father.”

“It’s a good thing, but you know that the size of our factory is not very large. So the shortage of supply is a big problem now.”

Pretending to not understand his meaning, Su Ruoqing asked, “Then what should we do about this?”

Realizing that Su Ruoqing was about to take the bite, her foster mother was very happy. However, her eyes were fixed on the pearl necklace on Su Ruoqing’s neck. She had only seen noble ladies wear such high-quality pearls before.

“Father, if there is any difficulty, you must tell me. I will never forget your great kindness, and I will do everything I can to repay you.”

“Then I will tell you the truth. The expansion of the factory is already imminent. The other day, we took a fancy to a piece of land. Its location, area, environment are very good. The only bad thing is that…”

“What is it?”

He suppressed his great joy and remained his sad expression. “The only bad thing is that because this land is so good, the seller set the price very high, and it is very hard for the Su family to purchase it.”

Su Ruoqing had thought that they would ask for greater benefits, but it turned out that they just wanted more money. She thought her foster parents were really short-sighted.

Seeing that Su Ruoqing remained silent for a long time, her foster mother was a little anxious. She wanted to say something, but she stopped when seeing her husband’s fierce look.

“You only have this difficulty? This can be easily solved. Father, just tell me the location of the land you are interested in. As long as the Young Marshal gets back, I will immediately ask him to do me a favor. I think he will agree to my request and help you solve the urgent needs.”

Since Su Ruoqing agreed to help them, her foster father laughed and said, “Ruoqing, you are really a good daughter. I appreciate that you never forget to repay our kindness.”

“Father, you are flattering me.” Since the Su family treated her so well, she had to repay them.

At last, her foster mother couldn’t help but ask, “Ruoqing, why did you only help your father without caring about me? Do you hold grudges against me?”

“Mother, you’ve misunderstood me. I will never forget your kindness. Do you also want me to help you? Please feel free to say it.”

“It’s a long story. Not long ago, I went to a party held for noble ladies with your sister Zhiyou.”

“It’s a good thing to communicate with those ladies more. Have you been wronged by someone at the party?”

Her foster mother immediately pretended to be aggrieved, and she wiped away the tears that even didn’t exist.

“But I didn’t expect your sister and I to be humiliated at the party!”

Seeing through her pretended sadness, Su Ruoqing suddenly thought of a good idea. Since her foster mother liked acting, she might as well act with her.

“Who dare to bully my mother and sister? Tell me their names, and I will definitely let the Young Marshal take revenge for you.”

Her foster mother was rendered speechless. She told a lie just now. So when Su Ruoqing asked for those ladies’ names, she was totally at a loss.

Looking at her embarrassed and flustered look, Su Ruoqing became much more cheerful, but she knew she wouldn’t embarrass her so much. Instead, she had to offer her some benefits first.

With this in mind, she continued, “Why did they humiliate you?”

Her foster mother breathed a sigh of relief when Su Ruoqing changed the subject.

“It’s just because we don’t have decent clothes and jewelry. Nowadays, all the popular things are from western countries, and they have high price. If we can’t afford them, we can only be laughed at by others.”

As she spoke, she again pretended to be tearful.

“I got it. Don’t worry, mom. I’ll send clothes and jewelry to the Su family. I promise that you will never worry about these things again.”

She then gave an order to the housekeeper. The housekeeper always felt that Miss Su’s foster parents didn’t care about her at all. They looked more like two creditors who came to seek benefits from her. But since Miss Su ordered him to do so, he had no choice but to do his job well.

Since Su Ruoqing responded to all their requests and behaved so obediently, the two of them were happy and satisfied. Then her foster mother fixed her eyes on the pearl necklace worn by Su Ruoqing again.

Su Ruoqing took the necklace off her neck lightly. “I think this necklace doesn’t suite me, but it suits you so well.”

Putting the necklace on her foster mother’s neck, Su Ruoqing thought that only by satisfying their needs would they suffer more after losing everything.

Knowing that Leng Yuhe would not come home, her foster parents took the opportunity to have lunch at his villa.

Su Ruoqing specially asked the cook to make a lot of rare and expensive dishes. Her foster parents ate a lot and even took some dishes away. After lunch, they finally left with satisfaction.

The housekeeper was very confused, but Su Ruoqing didn’t explain anything. She knew that only by satisfying their vanity would her future revenge be more successful.

At the Ming family.

Su Zhiyou was flirting with Mingzhe. Mingzhu was on their side with an angry look, but it was inappropriate for her to scold Su Zhiyou. She had no choice but to suppress her anger.

Seeing Mingzhu’s sullen look, Su Zhiyou knew that she didn’t like her. But she didn’t plan to cater to Mingzhu. Instead, she wanted to anger her.

“Brother Mingzhe, Su Ruoqing gave me and my mother a lot of clothes and jewelry yesterday. They are the most popular ones now. Although my sister used to be very annoying, she still has a conscience and knows how to repay our kindness. Unlike some people, she knows what to do and what shouldn’t be done…”

As she spoke, she looked at Mingzhu. It seemed that she wanted to point at Mingzhu’s head and tell her she was referring to her.

Mingzhu knew that Su Zhiyou was mocking her. She flew into a rage and shouted, “Su Zhiyu, I know you are mocking me. I indeed hate you. So what?”

“You are so ill-bred. I’m your sister-in-law. How could you yell at me?”

Mingzhu was so angry that she nearly cried out. “You… You’re so shameless. You haven’t married my brother yet. How could you be my sister-in-law?”

Seeing that she couldn’t gain the upper hand, Su Zhiyou immediately lay in Mingzhe’s arms. “Mingzhe, look at her. Are you just gonna stand there and do nothing?”

Her voice was so sweet and soft, and Mingzhe immediately sympathized with her. “Mingzhu, don’t be silly,” he said.

Hearing Mingzhe’s scolding, Mingzhu felt sad. “Brother, we had a fight because of her last time. You’re going to scold me for her again? Am I still your biological sister?”

Looking at Mingzhu’s tears, Mingzhe suddenly felt that he shouldn’t scold her.

“Youyou, don’t cry. Mingzhu didn’t mean it. Besides, what she said was the truth and and she had no malice.”

This was the first time that she had been opposed by Mingzhe. Su Zhiyou was an arrogant woman, and she couldn’t bear it. After knocking out the cup on the table, she ran out of the Ming family without turning back.

After comforting Mingzhu, Minzhe ran out of the house. However, it was so late, and he couldn’t find Su Zhiyou.

Mingzhe had never disagreed with her before, so Su Zhiyou was both angry and a little sad today. She drank many galsses of wine at home and got drunk.

At this time, her parents were going out to socialize, and the servants in the family didn’t dare to restrain her behavior, so she ran out of the house in a state of intoxication.

In the street at night, except for patrolling guards, they were only idle gangsters. Unfortunately, Su Zhiyou met the latter.

A few gangsters cornered Su Zhiyou and kept touching her body. They also said some dirty words at the same time. Although she was drunk, she knew that she was in danger now. She pushed them away with all her strength and ran to the street.

“Help! Help!”

She was not clear-minded at the moment. She wobbled for a while and was caught by the gangsters again.

The leader of the gangsters slapped her in the face violently. “Bitch, don’t you even think about running from us!”

“Let me go. I have a lot of money in my family. I’ll give you all the money you want. Let me go…”

Su Zhiyou pleaded desperatly, but it didn’t work.

“I don’t care if you have money or not. I don’t want money today…” the man said with an evil smile and was about to take off her clothes.

A car next to them slowly stopped.
