You Choose an Adopted Son, I Choose Madness - Chapter 118:

Chapter 118: Su Zhenxing Decides to Take Su Chen to a Business Gathering

Su Mu noticed something off in the way his father, Su Zhenxing, and Su Chen were looking at him.

Why were their gazes filled with such shock?!

It was as if they had seen something completely unexpected!

Su Mu felt uneasy. He couldn’t resist raising his hand to touch his nose.

His heart sank.

When his hand reached the spot where his nose should be, he felt nothing but empty air!

Where was his nose?!

Lowering his hand slightly, Su Mu finally touched a raised patch of flesh.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness!

His nose was still there!

But then, something felt wrong.

Why was his nose a flat lump?!

Wasn’t a nose supposed to be a sharp protrusion?!

Tracing along the raised area, Su Mu’s fingers explored further.

The more he felt, the worse it got!

Why… why was it just a flat, lumpy piece of flesh?!

This wasn’t his nose!

His nose was supposed to be tall and straight!

A terrifying thought formed in Su Mu’s mind.

His expression filled with growing horror.

Fortunately, Su Chen was a kind person.

Seeing Su Mu looking so pitiful, Su Chen took out his phone, switched to the front camera, and held it up to Su Mu’s face so he could use it as a mirror.

This way, Su Mu could see for himself what his nose had become.

And then, Su Mu saw it.

Where his nose should have been…

There was only a flat slab of flesh!

His eyes widened in terror as he stared at the reflection of himself and his “nose.”

It was horrifying.

It was grotesque.

This wasn’t the handsome, suave face that once captivated thousands of girls!

This was a monster’s face!

Su Mu couldn’t accept this reality.

His eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

Nearby, Su Qiqi shivered in fear.

Thank goodness she wasn’t the one Su Chen had targeted today!

Even though that hateful Zhang Zilong had broken her nose last time…

At least her nose still had its proper shape!

As long as it healed, it would return to normal.

But Su Mu?

What was his nose now?!

A meat patty!

Su Qiqi knew that with modern medicine, Su Mu’s nose could definitely be fixed.

But what would it look like afterward?!

Would there be permanent aftereffects?!

No one could say for sure!

Just thinking about it made Su Qiqi tremble from the inside out.

She wasn’t even afraid of getting beaten up.

But if she were disfigured—if she became ugly—that would be her worst nightmare.

Her gaze involuntarily drifted to Su Chen again.

Su Chen was getting scarier.

Should she avoid provoking him from now on?!

Even if her mother, sister, and brother continued treating Su Chen badly…

Should she stop getting involved?!

Should she start keeping her distance from Su Chen?!

Or maybe…

Should she even try to get on his good side?!

At that moment, Su Chen’s eyes glanced at Su Qiqi.

Instantly, her lips curved into a bright, ingratiating smile, her eyes forming two crescent moons as she beamed at him.

Right now, Su Qiqi had only one wish.

Please, Su Chen, don’t mess with me!

To her, Su Chen—who could destroy a person’s appearance—was no different from a demon.

Su Zhenxing looked at Su Mu’s miserable state and couldn’t help but sigh.

This was the child he had once cherished the most, the one he had pinned all his hopes on!

He couldn’t bear to see him suffer like this.

He quickly called for an ambulance.

Soon, the paramedics arrived at the Su family’s villa and took the unconscious Su Mu—whose nose had turned into a meat patty—away.

Even the medical staff were startled when they saw Su Mu’s nose.

They had seen broken noses, crooked noses, collapsed noses, even noses burned away.

But they had never seen a nose that had turned into a flat slab of flesh.

Still, as professionals, they quickly snapped out of their shock and provided emergency care before taking Su Mu away.

As for why Liu Yanran hadn’t shown up all this time?

It was because she had suffered terribly at the mental hospital for an entire day and night.

Endless medication and various treatments had left her exhausted, giving her no time or energy to do anything else.

So when she finally returned to the familiar comfort of the Su family home—her safe haven—she went straight to her room.

While putting on makeup, she accidentally fell asleep at her vanity.

Not even the sounds of police cars and ambulances arriving could wake her.

In her sleep, a smile lingered on her lips, as if she were having a pleasant dream.

Little did she know…

When she woke up, she would face her eldest daughter being arrested, her youngest son being disfigured and hospitalized, and that charming young man turning out to be a national security threat!

Sleep well. Keep smiling.

Because once you wake up… you won’t be smiling anymore.

…

Time quickly passed, and soon, it was Sunday.

Su Zhenxing had a business gathering to attend.

In the past, he always brought Su Lili and Su Mu along.

He needed to pave the way for their future.

But now, Su Lili was in the police station, and Su Mu was in the hospital.

Neither of them could attend.

Left with no other choice, Su Zhenxing turned his gaze to Su Chen.

Tall and lean, with sharp features, Su Chen always carried a faint, unreadable smile.

Su Zhenxing couldn’t help but feel surprised.

Why had he never noticed before…?

Su Chen actually had quite a handsome face.

In his memories, Su Chen had always been a dim, shadowy presence.

Later on, even after Su Chen stopped being that gloomy shadow, Su Zhenxing still saw him as some wild, reckless lunatic constantly jumping around.

But now that Su Chen was calm…

His appearance was actually quite good.

Not bad.

At least he wouldn’t embarrass the Su family.

Su Zhenxing secretly nodded.

Alright.

This time, he would take Su Chen to the business gathering.

Hopefully…

Su Chen wouldn’t bring shame to the Su family.
