Shengjing Noble

Chapter 137 is a bottomless pit

Without waiting for her to answer, Su Yongcheng said righteously, "Of course it's true! Su Shengming is so stubborn and hopeless. I was planning to expel him from the Su family and cut off all ties with him. Uncle, you are here and can be my witness to remove his name from the family tree!"

Hearing this, Mr. Su frowned deeply.

"So, Brother Ming is really addicted to gambling?"

Lu Wanjun stepped forward and bowed, without any guilt or panic.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Mr. Su, you can see by now that he can no longer tolerate me and the children. Otherwise, how could he pin such a crime on his own son?"

After saying that, he turned and looked at Su Lanyin: "Yinyin, your father is going to sever all ties with us. Well, I never thought of forcing him. In this case, go get the divorce certificate from my bedside and have your father sign it. Then we will go our separate ways."

"Yes." Su Lanyin nodded, and was about to go out when she was stopped by Mr. Su.

"Yinyin, come back!"

"Grandfather, it's not that I want to go. You've seen that my father wants to sever ties with my fourth brother. Not only that, he also kicked me out of the house because of Aunt's matter."

"That day I was homeless and had no choice but to venture to the outskirts of the city to seek refuge with my master. On the way I met a few ruffians and was almost insulted by them. Fortunately, a chivalrous man came to my rescue, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Like her mother, she lowered her head and wiped her tears in grievance, looking disheartened.

Su Yongcheng thought that he had saved a lot of money over the years and had also acquired a lot of shops under his name, which was enough to support the Su family in a luxurious life for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, he had long considered kicking Lu Wanjun and those useless children out of the house.

The reason he had been able to endure all these years was for Lu Wanjun's dowry. But now this woman is unwilling to give him money anymore, so what's the point of keeping her?

Anyway, she is old and ugly, and no one would want her if she left him, not to mention that she is bringing two cripples and a gambler with her.

As for Su Lanyin, she is a daughter anyway, so he can just marry her to the Song family. Her life or death in the future will have nothing to do with him.

Old Mr. Su didn't expect Su Yongcheng to be so cold-blooded and heartless, but then he thought, the Su family could only be what it is today thanks to Lu Wanjun's dowry.

If the marriage is really broken off, wouldn't it mean a huge loss of money? What would happen to the 1,000 taels of silver given to him every year to repair the ancestral hall?

Thinking of this, he looked embarrassed and tried to dissuade them, "You are not children anymore, how can you keep talking about breaking up the marriage? Moreover, you have been married for more than 20 years and have four children, how can you just break up the marriage?"

Lu Wanjun was about to say something when she saw Su Lanyin winking at her. She couldn't be too impatient at this moment. The more she wanted to leave, the more likely it would arouse the suspicion of the Su family.

So, when she received her daughter's gaze, she lowered her head and looked like she was about to cry, looking reluctant to leave.

"Uncle, I don't want to do that either, but he wants to sever ties with Ming Ge'er. As a mother, how can I accept that? If my son is kicked out of the house and left without anyone to rely on, then I will naturally follow him!"

Su Lao sighed helplessly: "You are a good mother, I can see that, but if he really gets addicted to gambling, I'm afraid it will drag down the whole family."

"No matter what my son becomes, I will never leave him!" Lu Wanjun said sternly.

Su Lanyin stood aside, feeling deeply moved.

Her mother's acting skills are amazing!

Su Yongcheng seemed to see that Lu Wanjun did not really want to break up the marriage and divorce, so he immediately became more confident and spoke even more shamelessly.

"Humph, my Su family can't tolerate any gamblers! If you want to be dragged down by a bottomless pit, don't drag down the entire Su family!"

Old Su also fell into deep thought, thinking: Gambling is really a bottomless pit. Once people get addicted to it, even mountains of gold and silver will be squandered completely.

Thinking about it this way, it’s not a bad thing for Su Shengming to leave the Su family.

After thinking it over, Mr. Su said, "Wanjun, don't be anxious. You should first find out whether Shengming is addicted to drugs or not."

"Of course I got it!"

Liu Ruyan came back with an account book in her hand and handed it to Mr. Su.

She explained: "I have always known that Su Shengming was addicted to gambling, and I have been persuading him not to gamble, and even used my dowry to help him pay off his gambling debts."

"Unfortunately, no matter how earnestly I tried to dissuade him, it was of no avail. He promised me that he would never gamble again, but the next moment he went to the casino again. In total, I have given him several thousand taels of silver!"

"He is my husband's son, and I am nominally his mother. I feel sorry for him, but he uses my tolerance as a means to exploit me!"

"The other day, the people from the casino came to me again and said that he owed me several million taels! I almost fainted when I heard that, and I forced myself to run to the casino to save him."

"But... but he was tied up by the people in the gambling house. They said that if he couldn't pay the money, they would turn him into a human pig and put him in the underground casino for people to enjoy! I really couldn't come up with that much money. I knelt down and begged them to release Ming Ge'er, but I was still kicked out... I am so useless..."

As she spoke, she pretended to be heartbroken, covered her chest with her hands, and leaned against Su Yongcheng, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

"Ruyan, this isn't your fault! Blame it on Lu Wanjun for spoiling the child!"

Su Yongcheng comforted her softly. The two of them ignored the presence of outsiders and hugged each other affectionately.

As Mr. Su flipped through the account book, his brows furrowed more and more, until he threw it to the ground in anger.

"This Su Shengming is so despicable. He actually lost so much money!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Wanjun immediately went forward and picked it up. After flipping through a few pages, she sat down on the ground and started crying loudly.

"My son, why are you so stupid? If anything happens to you, how can I live? Wuwuwu..."

Su Lanyin also knelt down and cried to comfort him: "Mother, Fourth Brother will be fine. Let's raise some money and save him!"

"That's several million taels. How can I have so much money..."

Having said this, Lu Wanjun paused and looked at Su Yongcheng, then immediately stood up and rushed over to grab his arm.

"My husband, we have been in love for more than 20 years. Ming'er is your own son after all. You can't just stand by and watch him die, right? Give me some..."

Before she could finish her words, Su Yongcheng kicked her away and she fell directly at Old Su's feet.

Old Su, who had just spoken to her, hesitated for a moment and moved to the side, showing no intention of supporting her.

Seeing this scene, Su Lanyin's lips curled up in a sneer, but she quickly lowered her head to hide it.

Su Yongcheng cursed, "Get lost! You unlucky thing! Don't even think about asking me to pay this evil creature off for his gambling debts!"

Lu Wanjun looked at Mr. Su helplessly, kneeling on the ground and pulling at the hem of his clothes.

"Uncle, can you help me persuade Yongcheng? By the way, I gave you so much money to build the ancestral hall. It was all from my dowry. How about you give me some back..."
