Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

Upon seeing the man, Su Mu impatiently demanded, "Where are my parents? What have you done to them?" His usual composure vanished, his bright eyes flashing with anger as he stared directly at the man.

Liu Zhihao, the man on the sofa, is Liu Yating's father and the chairman of Liu's Department Store.

He chuckled, his tone casual and indifferent, "Your parents are safe for now, but it depends on your choice before I can remove that for now."

"Choose?" Su Mu glanced sideways.

Liu Zhihao said, "You can't just let this go, can you?"

Seeing that Liu Zhihao had no intention of continuing, Su Mumo couldn't help but speak up, her words carrying a somewhat aggressive tone.

"This is between you and me, it has nothing to do with my parents, why did you bring them here?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhihao burst into laughter, then slowly said, "If I hadn't tied up your parents, would you have stayed here so obediently?"

He shrugged and said helplessly, "I never like things to be too complicated or laborious."

Su Mu gritted his teeth, worried about the safety of his parents, and had to suppress the urge to grab the man in front of him by the neck.

"As you wish, I'm standing right in front of you now. Immediately order my parents to go home!"

To everyone's surprise, Liu Zhihao waved his hand dismissively, saying, "No rush, we can talk about this after we finish discussing our own business!"

Su Mu clenched his fist, his delicate eyebrows furrowed, as if a knot had been tied between his brows.

"What do you want to do?"

Liu Zhihao picked up the wine glass, held the stem with his index finger and swirled it slightly. The red wine in the glass swirled around, its dark red color resembling a fine ruby ​​in the transparent glass, gleaming with an alluring light.

“I’m giving you two choices. First, you can experience the same thing that you made my daughter go through.”

"And the second one?" Su Mu wasn't too surprised after hearing the first option, and then calmly asked about the second option.

Liu Zhihao was clearly surprised by Su Mu's attitude. Any girl would be scared or even angry upon hearing this, but Su Mu showed neither. Instead, she was unusually calm, which was quite unusual for her age.

Suppressing his doubts, he took a sip of red wine from his glass, a cryptic smile playing on his bloated face.

"Secondly, you help me gamble on stones, and every piece of jade that comes out must be worth ten times the initial investment."

Su Mu was taken aback, his eyes widening suddenly, but the look vanished in an instant.

Then, feigning composure, he smiled faintly and said, "Gambling on stones? What are you talking about, Mr. Liu? I'm sorry, I didn't understand."

Liu Zhihao seemed to have anticipated that Su Mu would deny it, and shrugged and laughed, "Although we can't find out why your whole family moved from Qing City to Linhai overnight, it's still easy to find out about you winning millions in jade gambling."

Su Mu smiled slightly, "Didn't you want to avenge your daughter? Then why do you want me to gamble on stones for you?" She knew when to play dumb and when not to.

Given two choices, a normal person wouldn't choose the first one, but Liu Zhihao was clearly forcing her to choose the second one.

"As you know, I'm a businessman. Now that things have come to this, when it comes to assigning blame and considering the interests of others and myself, I will naturally choose the outcome that benefits everyone."

He laughed, unaware of how hypocritical his smile was, which Su Mu found utterly contemptible and disdainful, while also feeling a faint, insignificant pity for Liu Yating.

She used to brag in class almost every day about how good her father was to her and how much he doted on her, but judging from this incident, Su Mu said she just smiled and didn't want to say anything.

"When it comes to gambling on stones, even in that one bet, I can't win every time. Besides, I'm not an expert at gambling on stones. That bet was entirely luck. Isn't Mr. Liu being a bit too certain?"
