You Choose an Adopted Son, I Choose Madness - Chapter 79:

Chapter 79: Su Mu, How Could You Have Such Thoughts About Your Aunt?

Gong Zixun’s scream was so sharp that it was almost piercing, as if it could break through the ceiling of the Su family’s house.

Su Chen, Su Zhenxing, Su Lili, and Su Mu all flinched at the sound.

After all, Gong Zixun had always carried herself as a dignified noblewoman, valuing etiquette and composure. She had always been graceful and proper.

No one expected such a refined lady to let out such a high-pitched scream.

Even Aunt Li, who was working in the kitchen, was startled by the noise.

But Aunt Li had learned her lesson.

The last time she heard a commotion in the living room, she had gone to check, only to find the Su and Wang families running in circles around the room.

And now, there was screaming again?

She wasn’t going to walk into another mess.

As she continued picking vegetables, she muttered impatiently, “Rich people sure have strange ways of having fun! One moment they’re running around in circles, the next they’re screaming at the top of their lungs! None of this seems normal!”

Meanwhile, in the living room, Gong Zixun had been screaming into her hands for quite some time before she finally calmed down.

At this moment, she was burning with hatred toward Su Chen.

This was all Su Chen’s fault!

If he hadn’t pressed his hand against her face, her nose wouldn’t have collapsed!

That little brat!

She would never forgive him!

Her furious, bloodshot eyes locked onto Su Chen.

“Su Chen, you little bastard!”

“No wonder your mother doesn’t like you!”

“With a face that even dogs would avoid, how could anyone possibly like you?!”

“Come here!”

“Today, I’m going to teach you a lesson!”

Su Zhenxing frowned, displeased.

Gong Zixun was going too far.

It wasn’t like Su Chen did it on purpose.

Still, since it was indeed Su Chen who had ruined her nose, he figured he should at least apologize.

Before he could speak, Su Mu had already taken action.

Standing behind Su Chen, he saw everything clearly.

Gong Zixun hated Su Chen right now. The moment Su Chen stepped forward, she would definitely beat him up.

Su Mu had been holding back his frustrations toward Su Chen for too long.

Now that a respected elder was about to teach Su Chen a lesson, how could he miss this opportunity?

But to his disappointment, Su Chen wasn’t reacting at all. He showed no sign of stepping forward, let alone walking into a beating.

Su Mu was getting anxious.

Su Chen wasn’t moving? Fine.

Then he, Su Mu, would give him a push.

From behind, Su Mu reached out and shoved Su Chen’s lower back.

Su Lili, who was standing next to Su Mu, saw his actions clearly.

But she only frowned slightly and said nothing. She didn’t stop him either.

As Su Chen admired Gong Zixun’s now-crooked nose and the furious glare she was giving him, he suddenly felt a hand press against his waist, trying to push him forward.

He didn’t need to think twice to know who it was.

It wasn’t Su Lili. It had to be Su Mu.

Only the two of them were standing behind him.

And just as Su Chen was regretting that he hadn’t pressed down harder on Gong Zixun’s nose earlier, an idea struck him.

Reaching back with his right hand, he grabbed the hand that had just pushed him.

The moment he caught it, he knew—it was Su Mu.

Without resisting, he let himself be pushed forward, stumbling toward Gong Zixun while still gripping Su Mu tightly.

Su Mu hadn’t expected Su Chen to react so quickly and grab onto him. In his panic, he ended up stumbling forward along with Su Chen.

Gong Zixun, who had been glaring at Su Chen with a twisted expression, suddenly saw two teenage boys charging straight at her.

She was so startled that she instinctively tried to retreat, pressing herself against the back of the sofa.

But it was useless.

Su Chen, still holding onto Su Mu, reached Gong Zixun and suddenly swung his right arm, throwing Su Mu straight at her.

As Su Mu crashed into Gong Zixun, Su Chen’s right hand followed, pressing hard against her face once again.

Gong Zixun’s vision went dark.

Before she could even process what had happened, Su Chen’s hand had forcefully planted itself onto her face.

At the same time, she felt a teenage boy’s body slam into hers.

Although he quickly got up, the impact left her stomach and chest aching.

She was in pain.

She was scared.

She wanted to scream.

She wanted to curse.

But she couldn’t.

Su Chen’s hand was firmly covering her mouth, completely muffling her voice.

She struggled against the pain in her stomach and tried to grab Su Chen’s hand, determined to rip it away.

But before she could, Su Chen had already moved it.

Yet, she felt no relief.

She was even more terrified.

Because she could feel it now—

Her nose was completely stuck to the side of her face.

Earlier, it had only been crooked, so she hadn’t really felt it.

But now, she could tell—

Her nose had completely collapsed against her left cheek.

The skin of her nose was now pressed directly against her face.

Gong Zixun’s mind went blank.

Fear consumed her.

Had her nose been completely destroyed?!

She clutched her nose in panic and glared at Su Chen with trembling fury.

But before she could lash out, Su Chen spoke with an innocent expression, full of concern.

“Aunt, are you okay?!”

“Just now, Brother Su Mu must have been too worried about you, so he pushed me over to check on you together.”

“But he was too eager! He used too much strength, which is why we both ended up rushing at you!”

“Aunt, please don’t blame Brother Su Mu!”

“He only did it because he cares so much about you!”

Then, Su Chen turned and scolded Su Mu.

“Brother, I know you care about Aunt.”

“Just looking at how you threw yourself at her just now, I can tell how much you care about her.”

“But Brother, Aunt is your elder! You need to control yourself! You can’t have these kinds of thoughts about an elder!”

“This kind of thinking will lead nowhere!”

Su Mu, who was already feeling awkward from having fallen onto his aunt, immediately turned bright red with rage and humiliation.

“Su Chen, stop talking nonsense!”

“You were the one who threw me onto Aunt!”

Su Chen sighed with a helpless smile.

“Brother, I understand you.”

“I know you’re too embarrassed to admit your feelings.”

“As your older brother, what can I do?”

“Fine, Brother. Whatever you say, we’ll go with that.”

Su Mu trembled with fury, his eyes burning with rage as he glared at Su Chen.

But he didn’t say another word.

Because if he did, he had no idea what Su Chen might say next.
