You Choose an Adopted Son, I Choose Madness - Chapter 82:

Chapter 82: Su Chen, Are You Robbing Me?

The three lonely strands of hair atop Liu Xingran’s head swayed happily, but his mood was anything but joyful.

In fact, he felt even worse than if Su Chen had actually punched him.

If Su Chen had hit him, at most, he would have suffered some physical pain.

But having his wig snatched off—this was humiliation on a whole different level.

Liu Xingran knew exactly how he looked without his wig.

He had always thought his bare head was something no one should ever see.

Otherwise, why would he endure the summer heat, the itchiness, and the discomfort of constantly wearing a wig every day?

Even close family members like Su Zhenxing, Su Lili, and Su Mu had never known that Liu Xingran was actually balding underneath his wig.

But now…

Su Chen had pulled off his wig!

And now, his completely bald head had been seen by everyone in the Su family!

His face turned bright red, and even his shiny scalp took on a reddish glow.

Liu Xingran lost his mind.

He thrashed wildly, kicking and swinging his arms, roaring furiously.

“Su Chen, you little bastard!”

“Give me back my wig!”

“If you don’t, I swear I’ll beat you to death today!”

“Su Zhenxing, let me go! Let me go right now!”

By now, Su Zhenxing could no longer hold him back.

Earlier, Liu Xingran had struggled, but his resistance was still within control.

Now, however, he was throwing wild punches, smacking Su Zhenxing’s face repeatedly, while his kicks landed heavily on his legs. His entire body twisted and writhed frantically.

Su Zhenxing was in pain and exhausted.

He simply couldn’t restrain Liu Xingran anymore.

He gave up and released him.

Finally free, Liu Xingran lunged at Su Chen with both hands raised, reaching for the wig in Su Chen’s grasp.

But unfortunately for him, he was a fifty-year-old man, while Su Chen was a high school student.

He wasn’t nearly as fast.

The moment Liu Xingran rushed at him, Su Chen leaped back and dashed away, weaving around the living room.

One second, he was on the sofa.

The next second, he was over the sofa and onto the table.

Then, he jumped off the table and darted forward again.

The black, glossy wig in his hand fluttered in the air with each movement.

Behind him, Liu Xingran stomped and huffed, chasing him in circles around the living room, hands reaching out desperately for his stolen wig.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t catch Su Chen.

After two full laps around the living room, he was gasping for breath, drenched in sweat.

Finally, unable to run any longer, Liu Xingran collapsed onto the sofa, panting heavily.

“Su Chen… give Uncle his wig back.”

“If you do, I won’t hit you.”

At this point, he had realized he couldn’t outrun Su Chen.

If Su Chen didn’t willingly return the wig, there was no way he could get it back.

And to Liu Xingran, the wig was his dignity.

For the sake of saving face, he was willing to give up on punishing Su Chen.

He assumed that if he said this, Su Chen would return the wig.

After all, he was Su Chen’s uncle.

But Su Chen completely ignored him.

Seeing that Liu Xingran was too exhausted to chase him anymore, Su Chen also found a chair and sat down.

Then, he took out his phone, grinning as he looked at Liu Xingran.

“Uncle, you and Aunt really are a perfect match.”

“Aunt has a fake nose, and you have fake hair.”

“You two really are the ultimate fake couple!”

Liu Xingran was livid.

His baldness had always been a sore spot for him.

And now, Su Chen was mocking him for it?!

But no matter how furious he was, he simply didn’t have the energy to get up and beat Su Chen anymore.

He could only glare at him venomously and curse—

“Su Chen, you little bastard!”

“How dare you make fun of your own uncle and aunt?!”

“You unfilial wretch! You’ll never have a good ending!”

Su Chen’s smile faded.

His expression darkened as he turned to Su Zhenxing and said—

“Su Zhenxing, Liu Xingran just called you an old bastard.”

Then, he looked at Su Lili and Su Mu.

“If Su Zhenxing is an old bastard, that means you two must be little bastards too.”

Su Zhenxing, Su Lili, and Su Mu all knew that Liu Xingran had been cursing at Su Chen.

But his wording was indeed careless.

He had practically insulted the entire Su family along with Su Chen.

Their expressions darkened.

Slumping onto the sofa, Su Zhenxing glared at Liu Xingran, who was sprawled on the opposite couch, and warned—

“Brother-in-law, watch your words.”

“I didn’t do anything to offend you.”

Su Lili and Su Mu also voiced their displeasure.

“That’s right, Uncle!”

“If you want to curse at Su Chen, that’s fine, but don’t drag us into it.”

“We haven’t done anything to you.”

Liu Xingran hadn’t expected Su Chen to be this good at stirring up trouble.

Before, when he had scolded Su Chen, the brat would just stay silent and endure it.

Now, he had learned to turn everyone against him?!

Realizing that he couldn’t afford to keep cursing like this, Liu Xingran took a deep breath, swallowed his anger, and said—

“Su Chen, I won’t curse at you anymore.”

“Just give me back my wig.”

“You have no use for it, so why not return it?”

“If you hand it over, I swear I won’t hit you, and I won’t pursue the matter of you ruining your aunt’s nose.”

“No use?”

“Who said it’s useless?”

Su Chen smirked.

“Liu Xingran, do you know?”

“Your bald head isn’t cheap.”

“There’s already someone offering five million to buy the photo of your bald head along with Aunt Gong Zixun’s collapsed nose. And as a bonus, I’m throwing in your wig as well.”

Liu Xingran’s heart sank.

He had never taken Su Chen seriously before.

But now, he realized just how ruthless this brat could be.

He knew there were definitely people willing to buy those photos.

His business competitors would be more than happy to use them against him.

After all, those pictures would completely ruin his public image and damage the reputation of his company.

His carefully maintained image of being a refined, handsome businessman would be utterly destroyed.

Gritting his teeth, Liu Xingran no longer dared to curse at Su Chen.

He cleared his throat and softened his voice.

“Su Chen, I am your uncle—your mother’s own brother.”

“We are both your elders.”

“You can’t do this to me and your aunt!”

“You can’t sell those photos!”

Su Chen chuckled and lazily glanced at him.

“There’s money to be made. Why wouldn’t I take it?”

“You think I’m stupid?”

“Liu Xingran, if you don’t want me to sell them, fine.”

“Pay me five million, and I’ll keep them private.”

Liu Xingran’s eyes widened in shock and rage.

“Five million?!”

“Su Chen, are you robbing me?!”
