Chapter 715: Unt.i.tled
Daddy and Mommy Su were extremely against Su Ruyu getting together with Mo s.h.i.+tian. Once Su Ruyu had initially formulated the antidote for Su Man, she went to look for Mo s.h.i.+tian, who was in Riyadh, and bought a mansion on the outskirts of Riyadh that he laid out as per Su Ruyu’s preference so that it would become their home.
It was here that Su Ruyu gave herself to Mo s.h.i.+tian and became his woman.
It was here where Su Ruyu could laugh and fly into a rage as she wished she had a man whom she could share her feelings with.
It was here that Su Ruyu seriously thought about their future and how she would be with Mo s.h.i.+tian for the rest of her life. Even if her parents could not agree, Su Ruyu would certainly follow Mo s.h.i.+tian.
With Su Man’s detoxification underway, he would be cured with consistent medication as long as there were no mutations. Even if her parents severed all ties with her because of Mo s.h.i.+tian, that would not stop her from saving Su Man.
She was the only person in the world who could save Su Man.
Su Ruyu really cared about her family: her siblings, father, and mother. While her parents favored Su Ruhua since young, she still cared about them and did not harbor any jealousy toward them because they doted on her as well. It was her aloofness and coldness that left them clueless as to how they could communicate with her.
But Mo s.h.i.+tian…
When she was a teenager, Mo s.h.i.+tian was always on her mind. Despite her parents’ opposition, she went her own way and was certain about how she was absolutely correct about him. Even if the world turned their backs against them, they still had each other.
For a moment, he completely relinquished all the affairs of the Mafia and was about to gradually develop his successor. Once he had a successor, he would hand over the position of the G.o.dfather of the Mafia.
Although he was less than twenty years old and still a tad too early to retire in spite of his grand ambitions, those were not important to him. What mattered the most to him was to spend the rest of his life with Su Ruyu so that she did not have to live under the shadows of bloodshed and death.
Mo s.h.i.+tian was willing to give up that much-vaunted position.
They had their happiest days in this mansion on the outskirts of Riyadh. Su Ruyu smiled more in those days than the rest of her lives, and she was that lively seventeen-year-old teenager who would act petulantly and bicker with him.
One day, she was having fun around Riyadh with Mo s.h.i.+tian when she encountered Fu Jin. Fu Jin told her that Su Man’s virus had mutated, and he had been looking for her for two days to no avail.
Su Ruyu, not suspecting him, hurried home to indeed realize that Su Man’s virus had mutated. Her father slapped her and scolded her for pursuing romance at the expense of her younger brother’s life. In spite of her grievances, she gritted her teeth and treated Su Man.
Su Ruhua’s medical skills, while no slouch, was nowhere near Su Ruyu’s. Her expertise in viruses was not even a tenth of what Su Ruyu was capable of. As Su Ruyu checked Su Man’s blood, she realized somebody had been injecting him with a new drug and immediately questioned who injected Su Man with it. Su Ruhua said that she had injected it because it was a drug that Su Ruyu left behind, which had to be injected into Su Man.
Su Ruyu felt a chill down her heart. That was completely impossible! This drug would only weaken Su Man’s immune system and increase the instability of the virus. How could she have injected Su Man with it?!
As Su Ruhua was not particularly competent in this field, she did not care too much and a.s.sumed that Su Ruhua injected the wrong drug out of carelessness. Seeing Su Man’s condition gradually stabilize, she didn’t mind it anymore.
Only later did she realize that these were all part of a ploy to ruin her happiness.
Since Fu Jin did not return, Su Ruyu, because of Su Man, had Su Ruhua convey a message to Mo s.h.i.+tian that she would remain in the Su’s mansion for a few days until Su Man’s condition had completely stabilized.
Su Ruhua left and never returned.
Little Su Man’s condition fluctuated from good to worse, and everybody doted on him given that he was the only son in the family and had had such a torturous past. Su Ruyu loved him even more and wholly watched out for him as she looked for the cause.
The injection of the wrong drug was the root cause. It wasn’t until eight days later that Su Ruyu completely stabilized Su Man’s condition, but Su Ruhua had yet to return or bring her any letter. Su Ruyu was feeling very stifled. Although Su Ruhua was often not at home, she was in Riyadh, which meant it was impossible for her not to return home when she was clearly expecting her to carry a message.
Su Man’s condition stabilized, but Mommy Su was afraid of Su Man’s condition deteriorating, so she did not allow Su Ruyu to even leave.
It wasn’t until the ninth day that Su Ruhua returned home looking somewhat pale and weak. She looked unfocused and had lost her previous smile. Fu Jin accompanied her home.
Back then, she sneakily asked about Mo s.h.i.+tian, but Su Ruhua did not dare to look into her eyes and evaded the question with ambiguous answers. She kept on telling her that Mo s.h.i.+tian was waiting for her at the same place. While Su Ruyu felt that something was amiss, she did not think much of it.
After a.s.suring her parents many times that Su Man was fine, Su Ruyu left the Su family and directly wanted to look for Mo s.h.i.+tian at their home.
Mo s.h.i.+tian was indeed at home.
She asked Mo s.h.i.+tian why he did not write to her all these days. Mo s.h.i.+tian said that he was busy and had to see to some work, and that’s why he was unable to write to her. Su Ruyu was at ease.
Having not seen each other for a long time, the two stuck to each other and had a very sweet time in the mansion. Su Ruyu became pregnant.
Mo s.h.i.+tian was especially happy.
He wanted to register his marriage with her and then completely leave the Mafia. Su Ruyu thought about her pregnancy and how her parents should bless them. She hence went home in the third month of her pregnancy.
Only her parents and Fu Jin who was visiting Su Man were home.
When they heard the news of her pregnancy, Fu Jin’s face changed. Daddy and Mommy Su’s faces were aghast. While they did not agree to her marrying Mo s.h.i.+tian as they ultimately felt that Ruyu would lead a difficult life thanks to the danger and violence that he, the G.o.dfather of the Mafia, was embroiled in. Since she had a child with him, they thought about it and decided not to pursue the matter.
“Where is elder sister?” Su Ruyu asked.
“I don’t know where she went again. I can’t find her,” Daddy Su said.
This was typical Su Ruhua. Once she was married, Su Ruhua would certainly return, so she deliberately released information in the form of a code that only she and Su Ruhua knew.
However, she was not seen in the month that followed.
Fu Jin had also become much weirder. He looked at her with a sinister look that was occasionally agonizing and occasionally angry. With Su Ruhua not returning and missing, Su Ruyu was even more insistent on not marrying as she wanted Su Ruhua to return to attend her wedding. Mommy Su, on the basis that Mo s.h.i.+tian was unable to take care of a pregnant woman, had Su Ruyu stay at home.
Mo s.h.i.+tian would visit her once every three to five days.
Four months into her pregnancy, she happened to be home when Fu Jin came to look for her.
