Today I Will Also Be the Male Protagonist’s Rival - Chapter 30

“Uncle Dong.”

Huo Shu led Su Yu forward.

“A Shu?”

Su Yudong raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

“A guest of President Su?”

“You go ahead, we’ll talk in detail later.”

“Hahaha, President Su, you go ahead.”

Everyone at the table was perceptive and smiled as they dispersed.

Su Yudong raised his glass to each of them, then leaned back and smiled, “Niece Huo Shu, I heard you just returned from abroad a few days ago. How’s home? Still comfortable living there?”

“Not bad.”

Huo Shu answered, then pushed Su Yu forward, “Uncle Dong, do you know her?”

“I said, this girl only comes when there’s something important.”

Su Yudong shook his head and smiled, his gaze lingering briefly on Su Yu, casually asking, “And this young lady… is?”

“My name is Su Yu.”

Su Yu spoke up voluntarily, leaning forward slightly, lowering her gaze, her slender, upturned eyes full of intense charm.

Su Yudong’s expression flickered for a moment.

This girl’s face looked familiar, but… for a moment, he couldn’t recall where he’d seen her.

“Does Uncle Dong recognize her now?”

Huo Shu smiled, her slender white fingers lifting Su Yu’s chin, “Uncle Dong, look carefully — this Su is your Su!”

Su Yudong laughed, immediately withdrawing his gaze, lighting a cigarette casually, “The bloodline of the Su family isn’t something just anyone can claim.”

He paused, then suddenly asked, “Miss, what’s your mother’s name?”

“Yu Shu.”

Yu Shu?

Su Yudong thought for a moment and vaguely recalled something.

Those shimmering, enchanting eyes — even among the many beauties he’d seen, she was top-tier.

Thinking this, he glanced again at Su Yu.

Those eyes really were exactly the same.

There was a good chance — was she really his?

Su Yudong pressed his forehead, took a drag from his cigarette, then called out, “You two, come here.”

“Dad, what for?”

“Dad.”

Su Xia and Su Qi were playing happily but showed some impatience.

Su Yudong’s face darkened slightly. He spoke quietly to Su Qi, then turned back smiling, “Little girl, give me a strand of your hair.”

Su Yu responded softly, silently scrutinizing Su Yudong’s pair of children.

By looks alone, they perfectly inherited his fine traits, but their character…

Remembering the original book’s description, Su Yu raised her lips in slight mockery.

The Su family’s huge legacy — if it weren’t for these two useless good-for-nothings, it wouldn’t have ended up in such a state.

“Dad, again with the family recognition?”

Su Xia glanced over and suddenly sneered, “Nowadays, is it that everyone is either fatherless or motherless, running around looking for dads?”

“Hey, you better keep your eyes open. Don’t bring just anyone home, or you’ll dirty Mom’s name.”

The girl was only about seventeen or eighteen, wearing an off-shoulder evening dress, fair and beautiful, with the spoiled arrogance written all over her face.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, just about to say something when suddenly she heard a lazy tone from nearby.

“Uncle Dong, who’s this?”

Su Yudong snapped back to reality and smiled as he introduced, “My youngest daughter, Su Xia.”

Huo Shu raised an eyebrow, seeming puzzled, “How come I never heard Aunt Mo has a daughter?”

Mentioning the first wife, even Su Yudong’s temper showed some awkwardness, “Not a child from the first marriage.”

“So, this is from your new wife?”

Huo Shu toyed with the ring on her finger, smiling playfully, “With this attitude, I really thought she was the Su family’s eldest daughter.”

Su Xia became furious and scolded, “Who do you think you are, talking to me like that, I—”

Su Yudong’s expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly scolded, “Xia Xia!”

“Dad…”

“Shut up!”

Su Xia was still a little dissatisfied but seeing his face, she held back.

“Uncle Dong, don’t mind if I discipline her a little?”

Huo Shu smiled and asked but didn’t pause her hand, slapping her hard with a slight sneer, “No manners, I’ll teach her a lesson she won’t forget.”

Su Xia was stunned.

Having been spoiled all her life, she had never suffered such injustice.

Su Yudong’s face darkened, “Xia Xia, apologize to A Shu!”

Su Xia looked up in disbelief, “Dad, why? She hit me first, I—”

“I said apologize!”

Su Yudong’s voice was angry, and his face cold. It was clear he was truly mad.

Su Xia, who had always been respectful of her father, could only stifle her grievances and quietly say, “Sorry.”

Huo Shu ignored her, clapped her hands, and sat down casually, “Uncle Dong, next time you really should teach her some manners. It’s no big deal offending me, but next time if she offends someone else, it won’t be so easy to handle.”

Su Yudong’s expression softened a bit and he smiled, “A Shu’s right. That brat isn’t fit to be seen in public. I’ll deal with her when we get home.”

“Alright then, I’ll take her away first and won’t disturb you anymore.”

Huo Shu stood up and also helped the girl beside her to her feet, smiling politely.
“If the results come out, please do notify me.”

Su Yudong nodded.
“Of course. If she really is my daughter, I would never let her be left out there.”

Huo Shu gave a soft hum and then pulled Su Yu along as they left.

Only then did Su Yudong’s face fully darken, and he growled,
“I see you’re getting bolder by the day. Huo Shu, you actually dare to provoke her?”

“Ho… Huo Shu?”

Su Xia covered her face, a bit shocked.
“Wasn’t she just back from overseas?”

“Mind your own business. I’m telling you, stay away from her. That girl isn’t someone to mess with.”

Mentioning this, Su Yudong scolded sourly,
“Next time you dare cross her again, don’t expect me to clean up your mess.”

Today, he had lost all dignity because of her.

Su Xia gave an awkward smile.

If she knew it was Huo Shu, she wouldn’t dare to say a word, even if beaten to death.

The Huo family was one of the four great families in Xiangjiang. Huo Shu was the only girl of her generation, spoiled endlessly since childhood, naturally developing a rebellious and willful nature.

In the past, whenever the second generation of Xiangjiang heard Huo Shu’s name, they all kept their distance.

Who would have thought that shortly after the real person returned, she’d run right into her?

“These days, don’t go anywhere. Stay home and reflect on yourself, got it?”

Su Yudong finished scolding and then thought of Su Yu again.

This girl seemed to get along well with Huo Shu?

Otherwise, that person wouldn’t have come running here in person for her.

If she really was his bl00d, that wouldn’t be bad.

He narrowed his eyes and made a call,
“Help me check on this Su Yu.”

Outside the hotel—

Huo Shu stopped and couldn’t help but ask,
“Little girl, why are you staring at me like that?”

All along the way, the little girl hadn’t spoken but just kept staring at her with those extremely beautiful eyes.

Her expression was strange, half bewildered, half amazed.

“No…”

Su Yu withdrew her gaze and looked away.

She was just quietly thinking: that little girl who used to cry at the slightest thing had now somehow changed into someone she hardly recognized.

“Tsk, did sister’s beauty blind you?”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu rolled her eyes and turned around—only to bump into someone.
