"Sugar baby?
To be kept by a man?
Su Bingyan was furious and raised her hand to slap him.
Xie Changan, already jumpy, flinched.
But Su Bingyan stopped her hand. Standing before her, no matter how shameless and disgusting, was her own father!
A daughter striking her father was an act of great disrespect.
Xie Changan breathed a sigh of relief and cursed gloomily, "You insolent brat, you dare hit me? I'm your father, hitting me is unfilial!"
He was also full of pent-up anger and got worked up. "With your lack of upbringing and manners, how can I take you to see the old lady? Do you deserve to be the eldest daughter of the Xie family? What, you're not convinced? It's my right and duty to educate you, come on, hit me then!"
Su Bingyan's face grew increasingly grim.
Wronged, grief-stricken, a myriad of emotions churned within her.
But she truly couldn't strike him.
At this moment, a loud bang echoed!
Qin Yexuan appeared out of nowhere. Without a word, he slapped Xie Changan across the face.
Xie Changan's face swelled, and he stumbled backward, falling directly to the ground.
"Bingyan, there's no point in talking. He doesn't deserve to be your father!"
Qin Yexuan said gently, pushing Su Bingyan back into the house.
He turned and slowly approached the terrified Xie Changan.
Bending down, Qin Yexuan's expression was terrifyingly calm. "I told you earlier, don't hurt Bingyan anymore. It seems you didn't understand?"
Xie Changan gritted his teeth. "You, you're nothing but a thug! I'm a person of standing, I won't stoop to your level! I must get to the bottom of my daughter's affairs. How else could she command the attention of such important figures if she didn't have a man? How could she get Director Jiang and President Hu, such influential people, to do her bidding?"
Qin Yexuan said coldly, "This has nothing to do with Bingyan. It was my decision!"
Xie Changan didn't understand at all and sneered. "Don't flatter yourself. I've investigated you thoroughly. I'm warning you, don't get any ideas about my daughter! What status do you have here? Living with five beautiful girls, aren't you afraid of ruining their reputations?"
Qin Yexuan fell silent for a moment.
Was this Xie Changan genuinely concerned about Bingyan, or was he coveting the resources behind Bingyan?
Heh, the human heart is truly unfathomable.
He couldn't be bothered to deal with him any further and turned back into the house.
Xie Changan got up in disarray. As a young master from a wealthy family, he had never endured such hardship. He straightened his suit and left indignantly.
From a distance, the car that had brought Xie Changan had already left. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and took out his phone. "Jiangshan Law Firm? Find a way to investigate who is keeping Su Bingyan as a mistress, and what their identity is! I must find out!"
He hung up the phone and spat on the ground.
This daughter, Su Bingyan, was truly wild! But the man outside was indeed terrifying, capable of mobilizing so many resources, he was definitely a top-tier figure.
Yes, perhaps he could make good use of this connection!
Xie Changan completely looked down upon Qin Yexuan, who stayed at home cooking and cleaning.
He was utterly mistaken, spectacularly so.
And even more spectacularly mistaken was Jiangshan Law Firm.
When Xie Changan's request came through, the law firm, which should have kept its client's secrets, instead leaked the information internally.
Suddenly, rumors began to fly.
"So that Su Bingyan is actually the illegitimate daughter of the Xie family? She's been unknown all these years, and now she's planning to acknowledge her lineage!"
"Heh, Su Bingyan has a man on the side. She's just a mistress, isn't she? I knew it, how could such a delicate beauty achieve anything on her own?"
"Don't say that. Miss Su is also a celebrity in the business world. She's even opened a real estate company."
"Su Bingyan's little company? Ha, it's just doing renovations and acting as a rental agency. It's not a real estate company at all. Does she have that capability!"
Because Su Bingyan was so beautiful and had been a member of the Golden Cauldron Chamber of Commerce in the past, she had some small fame in the Jiangcheng business circle.
Now, the gossip about her immediately attracted the attention of many idle men.
"Su Bingyan? Is that the Su family? The one where five girls are keeping one man?"
"Yeah, that's the bunch. Everyone nearby knows. I heard that man even washes his sister-in-law's underwear."
"Tsk tsk... he's certainly lucky, five beautiful women, damn it!"
The rumors grew more monstrous, becoming the headline news in Jiangcheng overnight.
In this society, good deeds go unnoticed, but bad news travels a thousand miles.
There were always people who were bored and enjoyed spreading such gossip.
The news media in Jiangcheng was also a mess. Many tabloid reporters, online influencers, and live streamers, like dogs catching the scent of meat, got excited.
They didn't want to miss such good "news"!
Early in the morning, these people made their way to the Su family's small building.
At this time, inside the Su family's small building, apart from Xiao Yu, all the other girls had gone out.
Su Mingyue still had to deal with her hospital department matters. Su Xueqing had to sign new artist contracts with her company. Su Ningxuan had just been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department and received a major case, leaving before dawn.
The youngest, Su Yu, was confined to her room for the day by Qin Yexuan, where she was supposed to be memorizing English words and doing practice tests.
She secretly propped her phone up in her textbook, listening to the commotion outside while browsing the news.
"What happened to the Golden Cauldron Chamber of Commerce that wronged my second sister?"
"Hmm? This report says a super big shot took down the Golden Cauldron Chamber of Commerce!"
Su Yu read with great interest. "The God of War of Da Xia, a renowned marshal, personally arrived and annihilated the Golden Cauldron Chamber of Commerce, leaving not a speck of dust! That's so cool, he's exactly the male god in my heart."
She thought that the people from the Golden Cauldron Chamber of Commerce had indeed brought their doom upon themselves, and in a way, even the revenge for her eldest sister's tomb had been avenged.
Su Yu was still a little disappointed.
She had originally thought her brother-in-law had acted in secret. In her heart, her brother-in-law was a superhero hidden in the mundane world!
It seemed she had overthought things...
Su Yu continued to flip through the news, and suddenly, a piece of sensational news popped up.
It was the rumor about Su Bingyan being kept as a mistress.
The report was written in a vulgar manner, even deliberately describing the scene of the five Su sisters serving one man.
Xiao Yu almost smashed her phone reading it.
Staring at the author below the news, it was Jiangcheng Entertainment Headlines!
That was a well-known media studio that used to churn out such sensational news to attract attention.
Su Yu frantically reported the news, gritting her teeth in anger.
But it was useless!
How could a young girl contend with a major media outlet like Jiangcheng Entertainment?
Jiangcheng Entertainment Headlines had already made this news their front-page story and even announced that they would investigate further and visit in person for an interview!
"Trash! Shameless! If they dare to show up..."
Su Yu was furious, feeling wronged for her brother-in-law and sad for her sister.
At that moment, from outside the window, the voices of the media could indeed be heard. "Is anyone inside? Have all the Su family girls gone out? We need to find a way to film something!"
"Aim at that window upstairs, there seems to be someone."
"Ha, could it be Qin Yexuan and his sister-in-law are doing something in the room together?"
"Quick, set up the camera and keep a close watch!"
These people had filthy minds, their words were unbearable!
Su Yu turned and went downstairs, rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and opened the door!"
