You Choose an Adopted Son, I Choose Madness - Chapter 81:

Chapter 81: Removing Liu Xingran’s Wig

Although Su Zhenxing was unhappy with Su Chen’s disobedience, he didn’t want to see him get beaten up by his brother-in-law right in front of him.

So, with a big smile, he kept trying to persuade Liu Xingran to give up on the idea of hitting Su Chen. At the same time, he had no intention of actually calling Su Chen downstairs.

“Brother-in-law, calm down.”

“Su Chen really didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Let’s not make a fuss over this.”

“How about this—whatever the medical expenses for my sister-in-law’s treatment cost, I’ll cover everything.”

Liu Xingran impatiently pushed Su Zhenxing aside.

“Do you think this is about money?!”

“Do you think the Liu family lacks money?!”

“This is about dignity and respect!”

“The fact that Su Chen dared to treat his aunt like that shows he has absolutely no respect for her—or for me!”

“I am his mother’s older brother, and my wife is his aunt!”

“If Su Chen has no respect for us, that means he has no respect for his own mother either. That’s called being unfilial! That’s called being an ungrateful disgrace to his ancestors!”

“Su Zhenxing, listen to me.”

“Don’t stop me!”

“I have to teach Su Chen a lesson today.”

“I have to make him understand why I am his uncle!”

Su Zhenxing was at a loss for words.

He actually agreed with Liu Xingran—Su Chen had been way too disrespectful to his elders.

But Su Chen was still his son.

He couldn’t just stand there and watch his own son get beaten in front of him.

So, he kept forcing a smile, trying to calm Liu Xingran down.

At the same time, he was already thinking about sending Su Chen a message, telling him not to come downstairs.

As long as Su Chen stayed in his room, Liu Xingran couldn’t possibly go upstairs, break down his door, and drag him out for a beating.

That would be going too far.

Even though Su Zhenxing respected his brother-in-law, he would never allow that to happen.

Just as he was thinking this, something unexpected happened.

Because his back was facing the staircase, he didn’t see—

Su Chen was already coming down the stairs, smiling.

And he wasn’t alone.

Su Lili and Su Mu were coming downstairs as well.

Su Lili and Su Mu were delighted to see their uncle and greeted him warmly.

At the same time, they had also heard his angry shouts about wanting to beat Su Chen up.

They knew this visit wasn’t friendly.

And unlike their aunt, their uncle didn’t have a fake nose that Su Chen could ruin.

As an elder, if their uncle hit Su Chen, Su Chen absolutely couldn’t fight back.

Otherwise…

Su Lili and Su Mu exchanged glances, both thinking the same thing.

If Su Chen dared to retaliate, they would label him as unfilial and completely ruin his reputation in society.

At that moment, Liu Xingran also noticed Su Chen and the two siblings.

He only gave Su Lili and Su Mu a slight nod in acknowledgment.

His full attention was locked onto Su Chen.

Seeing Su Chen strolling down the stairs with a relaxed smile, Liu Xingran grew even angrier.

That brat had destroyed his wife’s nose and didn’t even look the slightest bit remorseful.

He even seemed to be in a great mood!

Thinking about how miserable his wife had looked today, and then looking at Su Chen’s carefree expression now, Liu Xingran’s rage exploded.

He forcefully shoved Su Zhenxing aside, raised his fist, and charged toward Su Chen, roaring—

“Su Chen, you little bastard!”

“I’ll beat you to death for being so disrespectful and unfilial!”

Su Zhenxing was startled by his brother-in-law’s roar.

Su Chen had come downstairs?!

He turned around and saw Su Chen walking down with a relaxed smile.

Panic surged in his chest.

Su Chen was usually sharp—so why was he being so foolish now?!

Didn’t he see that his uncle was about to beat him up?!

And yet, he still dared to come downstairs?!

Panicking, Su Zhenxing quickly ran up and grabbed Liu Xingran around the waist, shouting at Su Chen—

“Su Chen, hurry up and apologize to your uncle!”

“If you apologize, he won’t hit you!”

“Do it now!”

Su Lili and Su Mu curled their lips in dissatisfaction.

It was obvious now—

Their father, Su Zhenxing, really cared about this orphan their family had taken in.

Just to stop their uncle from hitting Su Chen, their father was actually physically restraining him.

Liu Xingran didn’t argue with Su Zhenxing, as if agreeing with his words.

But in reality, he had no intention of letting Su Chen off so easily.

He had already made up his mind—

The moment Su Chen walked up to him to apologize, he would seize the chance and land a heavy punch on him.

Otherwise, with Su Zhenxing holding him back, it was too difficult to get a proper swing in.

Su Chen blinked, still smiling, and casually walked toward his uncle.

Su Zhenxing was relieved.

At least Su Chen knew when to give in.

Liu Xingran glared at Su Chen, gripping his fist tightly, waiting for the perfect moment.

As soon as Su Chen got close enough—he would punch him straight in the face.

If possible, he wanted to break his nose in one hit.

But just as Liu Xingran was about to strike, Su Chen was faster.

Before Liu Xingran could throw his punch, Su Chen raised his hand and swung it straight toward Liu Xingran’s head.

Liu Xingran panicked and instinctively tried to struggle free from Su Zhenxing’s grip.

Unfortunately for him, Su Zhenxing—who was standing behind him—hadn’t seen Su Chen’s move.

He thought his brother-in-law was still trying to get to Su Chen, so he tightened his grip even more.

Liu Xingran could feel the hold on his waist becoming stronger.

At that moment, his anger surged.

These two father and son must have planned this!

One was holding him down, while the other took advantage of the situation to attack him!

Realizing that he had no way to escape, Liu Xingran shut his eyes in despair.

Forget about beating up Su Chen today—he was the one about to be beaten instead!

That little brat!

He would never forgive him!

…

But a few moments passed, and the pain he expected never came.

Suspicious, Liu Xingran opened his eyes.

And then, he saw—

Su Chen was standing right in front of him, still smiling.

One of his hands was playing with something furry and black.

The other hand was holding a phone, snapping pictures.

Liu Xingran suddenly felt a chill on his scalp.

A terrible realization struck him—

The thing in Su Chen’s hand…

Was his wig!

At the same time, Su Zhenxing, Su Lili, and Su Mu all froze, staring at Liu Xingran in shock.

Before their eyes—

The always elegant and refined Liu Xingran…

Now had a perfectly bald, shiny head, with only three lonely strands of hair swaying stubbornly in the breeze.

Those three strands of hair fluttered as if they were making their last stand.
