After the three of them left, Su Zhuyun said, a little embarrassed, "Xiaochen, I..."
He was just about to explain when Su Chen cut him off. "Dad, I know what you’re thinking. You couldn’t let Su Yan get dragged down because of those scumbags."
"I’m glad you understand!" Su Zhuyun smiled happily, relieved that his son didn’t misunderstand him.
If the victim in this case—the girl—hadn’t reached a settlement with them, those three would have definitely faced multiple charges. But now that she’s settled and is no longer pressing charges...
What else was there to say?
"Xiaochen, let’s just let this matter drop. You don’t need to worry about it anymore," Su Zhuyun said, patting Su Chen’s shoulder.
They say no one knows a son better than his father. Su Zhuyun could clearly see that Su Chen was still angry, but now that the matter was resolved, there was no need to stay upset.
"I know, Dad," Su Chen agreed readily, though in his heart, he had already figured out how to deal with those three.
KNOCK—
The door to the hospital room opened, and a sturdy, honest-looking man nearly six feet tall walked in carrying a lunch box.
"Uncle, I brought you dinner!" As soon as the words left his mouth, the big man saw Su Chen sitting by the hospital bed and exclaimed with delight, "Big Bro, when did you get back?!"
The big man was none other than Su Chen’s cousin—Su Yan!
"Whoa, look at you! How’d you get so built?" Su Chen said, looking at Su Yan, who was a full size bigger than him. He gave him a squeeze.
’Even through this thick down jacket, I can feel the muscle underneath. No wonder Yin Zheng said my cousin would get implicated. With fists the size of clay pots, who could possibly take a punch from him?!’
"Heh heh... I got this from training in the army!" Su Yan was a little bashful. He’d heard from his father, Su Zhiqi, that it was all thanks to his Big Bro that the family was living so well now.
Hearing this, Su Chen remembered what his mom, Chen Shufen, had told him before: Su Yan had been discharged from the army.
"Why’d you get discharged, kid? Logically, with your physique, you should be really popular in the army. How could they let you leave?" Su Chen asked curiously.
"Well, I wasn’t selected for promotion to NCO, and my dad called saying they were too busy at home, so I just got discharged," Su Yan explained without holding anything back.
Su Chen nodded at his words and put an arm around Su Yan’s shoulder. "Thanks for your help with this whole thing."
Su Yan wasn’t happy to hear that. "Big Bro, I don’t like hearing you talk like that. We’re family! There’s no need for thanks between us."
"Hahaha! My mistake, my mistake!" Su Chen laughed heartily, patting the shoulder he had his arm around a few times.
Lying in the hospital bed, Su Zhuyun watched this scene of brotherly affection and couldn’t help but smile.
The three brothers of the Su family had always supported each other like this. Otherwise, this big family would have fallen apart long ago.
