Chapter 257: Chapter 257: What’s That Got to Do with Me?

"As for you wanting to be the rotting meat, that’s your own business, but my sister and I aren’t any flies," Su Zhe looked at her coldly, "and I suggest that since you’re such a happy family of three, at least try not to keep each other in the dark—don’t have one person call us back, and then another ask why we’re here."

Su Zhe paused, then gave a sarcastic smile, "Do you think we wanted to come back? Do you think we have nothing better to do?"

Zhu Xinyan swayed slightly, "What... what are you saying?"

"I don’t repeat myself."

"Are you saying... You mean, it was your dad... it was Su Yukan who asked you to come back?" Zhu Xinyan’s face was a picture of disbelief.

Su Zhe still looked at her with an icy stare and said curtly, "Why don’t you go in first and compare notes with each other?"

Zhu Xinyan’s face was still pale, and she was at a loss for words.

Su Zhe didn’t have time to waste on her and pulled Su Lu along, heading inside.

Zhao Tong didn’t want to come; the boy had always had a strong personality. He probably said something like: "I won’t go for now, I’ll go to the club to hang out with Ah Xi and the others. If that old man really wants to see me once you guys are there, we can talk then. I don’t think he’s that eager to see me."

Su Lu was being stared at by Su Jiao, and she could feel the hatred in her sister’s eyes almost taking physical form and stabbing toward her.

To tell the truth, if it wasn’t for not wanting Su Zhe to face this alone, Su Lu wouldn’t have wanted to come either.

Inside the hospital room, a bed connected to numerous machines, with a humidifier on the bedside table gently puffing out white mist.

The monitor was emitting a steady beeping sound.

The person lying on the bed didn’t seem particularly pale or emaciated, but rather, due to swelling or middle-age weight gain, appeared somewhat bloated.
