Chapter 1116 - 1124: Always Wanting People Dead, Young Master Jue, You’re Too Cruel
The night was deep.
At the entrance of the Su Family’s house, Shi Aoju smoothly parked the car and glanced at Su Jiuyi, who had been silent in the passenger seat, and asked, "Do you want me to walk you in?"
Hearing this, Su Jiuyi shook her head, "Better not, I’m afraid Su Zhenxiong will make things difficult for you. Last time, he sought you out for a business collaboration and was refused, he must be unhappy about it. If he finds out I’m with you, who knows what he might do."
Su Jiuyi knew Su Zhenxiong all too well. He was like a smiling tiger, presenting one face to the public and another behind the scenes, saying one thing to people and another to ghosts. If you offended him, he wouldn’t show any emotion at the time, but he would certainly find a way to retaliate later.
Although Su Zhenxiong’s current strength isn’t enough to challenge the Shi Family, given his treachery, a backstabbing isn’t out of the question. He’s a veteran in the business world; no matter how capable Shi Aoju is, he hasn’t experienced as much as Su Zhenxiong.
If it were a head-on confrontation, Shi Aoju would have a good chance of winning. But if Su Zhenxiong were to play dirty in the dark, it’s uncertain who would emerge victorious.
Seeing Su Jiuyi’s firm stance, Shi Aoju decided not to force her, and he also felt it would be too abrupt to just walk in like that. So, he unfastened his seatbelt, got out of the car, and walked around to open the passenger door for her.
Su Jiuyi had intended to unfasten her seatbelt herself, but before her hand could even touch the seatbelt clasp, Shi Aoju had already undone it for her.
"If anyone gives you trouble, just call me," Shi Aoju said softly in her ear.
"I’ll be fine." Su Jiuyi looked up at him, "I can handle it on my own."
Over the years in the Su Family, everyone made things difficult for her, even the servants targeted her, so she had long been used to it. She was used to facing things alone. No matter how hard the road ahead, she wouldn’t turn back, because she always believed that if you follow a path to its end, you’d reach where you want to go.
"Silly girl." Shi Aoju raised his hand and ruffled her hair gently, "I may have let anyone bully you before, but from now on, only you can bully others. If anyone dares to harm a single hair on you, I’ll make sure they die a horrible death."
It was the first time Su Jiuyi had heard Shi Aoju speak in such a tone, slow and gentle, yet every word he uttered carried a commanding power that left no room for doubt.
She thought that this must be what she liked about him. His actions were neat and decisive. Whatever he said or promised, he would make it happen.
"Killing people this easily, Young Master Jue, you’re too cruel." Su Jiuyi said, getting out of the car and closing the door.
Shi Aoju leaned against the car and watched her, his deep eyes like an unfathomable ocean, capable of swallowing someone whole without them even realizing it.
Su Jiuyi held his gaze for a few seconds and was about to look away when she heard him say, "If I hear those words ’Young Master Jue’ again, I’ll show you what true cruelty is."
Su Jiuyi: "..."
"You know what to call me," Shi Aoju said calmly.
"What should I call you...?" Su Jiuyi wasn’t feigning ignorance; she genuinely didn’t know what to call him. Calling him Young Master Jue seemed too distant, calling him Jue too intimate, and saying Shi Aoju felt indescribable.
