Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 579: Blood-Drenched Wound

"Husband, since you are from the Su Family, why..."

Lin Ruoxue ultimately couldn't help but ask, partly out of a woman's curiosity, and more importantly because Su Chen was her husband, and she naturally wanted to understand more.

However, she also knew that Su Chen had many secrets and seemed reluctant to tell her, so she continued:

"If you think it's inconvenient, it's okay, we can talk about it when you're ready."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen smiled slightly:

"Since we are spouses, there are some things I should indeed tell you. Besides, having kept these from you for so long, I should be the one apologizing."

Su Chen then sat down on the steps in front of his grandfather's tombstone, and pointed to a spot next to him, saying:

"Sit down."

Lin Ruoxue took a seat beside Su Chen, her heart racing with excitement.

Was the veil of mystery surrounding her husband about to be lifted?

Lin Ruoxue was somewhat excited, yet inexplicably fearful as well, unsure of what she might hear next.

Su Chen took out a pack of cigarettes, drew one, took a deep breath, and then began to reminisce:

"I was indeed born in the Su Family. Before the age of five, I could say that I was very happy. However, all that happiness came to an abrupt end when I was five."

"About twenty years ago, the Su Family's legitimate line had two branches, the senior branch and the second branch. The senior branch was my grandfather, and the second branch is now the Family Head, Su Chun."

"Of course, back then, the Family Head was my grandfather, who had only one son, my father, Su Lou."

When Su Chen mentioned his father, a proud smile lit up his face. He glanced at Lin Ruoxue and continued:

"You might have heard my grandfather's name but never Su Lou's. However, if you inquire about him among the elite circles of Yandu, you would know how dashing and wonderfully celebrated he was back then!"

"Probably over ninety percent of the noble ladies were fond of him at that time."

"No way, it's that exaggerated?"

Lin Ruoxue wore a look of disbelief. Admiration from over ninety percent of women—what kind of perfection would a man need to achieve that?!

"Of course. Do you know what the top circle in Yandu used to say about him?"

"What?"

Lin Ruoxue blurted out her query.

"Once in a century comes a Su Lou!"

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

Su Chen said calmly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruoxue was completely shocked!

Once in a century comes a Su Lou!

What a commendation that was!

Moreover, such a remark came from the top circle in Huaxia!

Just from that phrase, you could imagine what a dazzling man he must have been!

"Nowadays in Yandu, there's a Shen Shao, and some people secretly call him 'Little Su Lou,' but those who have truly known Su Lou scoff at such a nickname."

"The gap between the two is vast, they are not even at the same level, and even Shen Shao himself, shameless as he might be, would probably find it difficult to agree to such self-praise."

Having heard this, Lin Ruoxue gained an even more vivid impression of the man.

She had been in Yandu for some time and naturally heard some stories about the Five Great Families, knowing very well that among the young elites of Yandu, Shen Shao was revered as the number one!

This was in part because the Shen Family's strength was the greatest among the Five Great Families, but more importantly, Shen Shao himself was stunning and flawless!

Yet such a revered young elite, compared to the man called Su Lou, seemed utterly incomparable!

What sort of presence must this Su Lou have been, to be beyond imagination!

And he, he was actually her own father-in-law!

Lin Ruoxue suddenly felt a very special sensation in her heart, as if she shared in the honor!

"Actually, you only need to see how outstanding your husband is to know that my father can't be bad either."

At this point, Su Chen shamelessly smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue rolled her eyes and directly said:

"I don't know about other aspects, but there is one thing, you are definitely better than your father at."

"Oh, wife, you finally noticed my strengths? What exactly is it, tell me quickly."

Su Chen eagerly asked.

"Shamelessness and disgrace, in this respect, your father probably can't even come close to you."

Lin Ruoxue scoffed as she spoke.

Then, looking at Su Chen, she asked:

"What happened then? What happened next?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's previously playful expression suddenly turned somber.

Had he not been deliberately joking earlier, afraid of touching upon the long-sealed past?

It was a blood-soaked wound, though it had been almost twenty years, yet it still hadn't scabbed over, hurting upon touch!

Su Chen took another deep drag of his cigarette, then exhaled a layer of smoke, his tone solemn as he spoke:

"That year, my grandfather passed away in the hospital due to illness first. Not long after, my father also died, and to this day, the cause is unknown. I didn't even see his body. Less than a month later, my mother died from severe poisoning!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue stiffened completely, staring blankly at Su Chen!

So, he actually had such a tragic childhood!

In a short period of time, three of his closest family members passed away one after another; such a blow would be unbearable even for an adult, let alone a five-year-old boy at the time.

The most frightening thing is to have and then to lose. If he had been an orphan to begin with, it might have been easier, but he wasn't.

Originally, he lived a happy life, beloved by his grandparents and pampered by his parents, without a care in the world!

But overnight, the heavens mercilessly took everything he had away, and who could withstand such a sudden calamity?

Lin Ruoxue's gaze at Su Chen suddenly became infinitely tender, and at that moment, she felt deeply sorry for him—very sorry!

Yet Su Chen showed no change in expression, continuing to reminisce as he spoke:

"After my grandfather, father, and mother passed away, the family power naturally fell into the hands of the second branch. That very night, I was driven out by them. A servant drove me far away and left me in a ravine."

"Beasts!"

Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but curse, her beautiful face flushed with intense anger.

The conduct of Su Family's second branch was worse than that of beasts; they did such a thing to a five-year-old child who had just lost his grandparents and parents.

Moreover, they were family!

"I remember that day, it was raining heavily, and there was thunder and lightning in the sky. I crawled and crawled, not knowing how long, until the next day, I finally crawled out of that ravine."

Su Chen spoke calmly, as if narrating someone else's story:

"At that time, I didn't even know where I was, let alone where to go. I just wandered aimlessly, and then I fainted..."

"Stop talking, stop talking!"

Lin Ruoxue could not listen anymore, and the tears poured down like a broken string.

She pulled Su Chen into her arms, feeling as if her heart had been stabbed and vigorously stirred...
