The Investment Mogul Calls Himself my Husband - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Hug

“I… holy crap.” Huo Yang excitedly covered his mouth. The Great Film Emperor Su is truly worthy of his title; he’s so bold and direct with his questions.

Zhuang Qingyuan looked at Su Yi, his gaze resolute as he replied: “Su Yi, because I’m your husband. If I’m not good to you, who should I be good to?”

Huo Yang was shocked once more: “Holy crap, holy crap…”

Su Yi: “…….”

Fine, he shouldn’t have asked.

Zhuang Qingyuan has completely lost his mind!

Huo Yang secretly gave Zhuang Qingyuan a big thumb-up and whispered: “My brother, you are brave! A status is something you give yourself—truly my brother!”

Zhuang Qingyuan raised an eyebrow at Huo Yang, implying: That’s a given!

Dazed, Wang Xia watched the unabashed little interactions between Zhuang Qingyuan and Huo Yang. They’ve all gone crazy; she could no longer understand any of this!

Su Yi and Wang Xia’s brains were both struggling to process things; they didn’t even know how they managed to leave Zhuang Qingyuan’s house.

Wang Xia stood still, turned to look at Su Yi, and couldn’t help but clutch her head and shake it: “This trip out… it feels like a dream. It’s so surreal!”

Su Yi was amused by Wang Xia’s frantic head-clutching: “At first, I even wondered if he had recognized me—well, until that last sentence!”

Wang Xia: “Me too. The moment I heard him say he was your husband, my brain just short-circuited.”

“But, thinking about it, this Zhuang Qingyuan is handsome, rich, and tall. If he really were your husband, it wouldn’t be unacceptable, right?”

“Besides, didn’t you agree to the marriage alliance with Lu Li before? If you have to marry someone, it might as well be Zhuang Qingyuan. When he’s not acting crazy, he’s so handsome… and when he is acting crazy… he’s not lacking in cuteness.”

“Cute!” Hearing Wang Xia use that word to describe Zhuang Qingyuan, Su Yi smiled, recalling those pure and expressive large eyes. “He is quite cute. But forget it, I… how could I ruin someone so cute?”

“Actually, today’s contract signing was already taking advantage of a person in a vulnerable state. It wasn’t right, but this drama is very important to me. Consider it a favor borrowed from him. Once I become famous again, I’ll film a movie for Qingyi for free to pay him back.”

Seeing Su Yi choosing to escape from feelings again, Wang Xia said heart-brokenly: “Xiao Yi…”

Wang Xia knew better than anyone that Su Yi only appeared strong and unrestrained on the surface, but he was extremely sensitive deep down. He was especially timid and pessimistic regarding emotions, afraid of losing, so he never started.

As for Su Yi refusing Huo Zhili, Wang Xia wasn’t surprised. Su Yi and Huo Zhili were too similar, yet too different!

The two could be called two extremes.

Huo Zhili’s gentle exterior was a disguise for his ruthlessness, whereas Su Yi was exactly the opposite!

Staying by Huo Zhili’s side would be like a constant reminder to Su Yi that the wild and bold persona he showed the world was merely a cover for his cowardly inner self!

Furthermore, the failure of Su Yi’s mother’s marriage made him distrust emotions, but in his bones, he craved permanent, true affection more than anyone!

Wang Xia sighed silently; Su Yi was a walking contradiction!

As soon as they arrived home, Xiao Xue was waiting in the living room. She ran to Wang Xia with her phone: “Sister Wang Xia, Su Yuyan has debuted on a show! He’s even using the title of Brother Su Yi’s younger brother. Brother Su Yi is gone, and they still won’t let him go.”

Looking at the video, Wang Xia said angrily: “Debuting using Su Yi’s name… if Su Yuyan ever has a scandal in the future, Su Yi will be dragged out and cursed at too. How can the Su family be so shameless!”

Su Yi’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He went straight to the study and logged into his email on the computer.

Wang Xia followed him: “I’m going to hold a press conference to expose the disgusting true faces of the Su family and clear your relationship with them.”

“Sister, don’t be angry. It can be solved.” Su Yi looked at the logging-in email while taking out paper and a pen.

Wang Xia walked to the computer: “How will you solve it?”

Su Yi forwarded all the evidence stored in his email—of the Su family sucking his blood, and Su Hanghan’s verbal abuse and accusations—to Wang Xia.

Inside were pictures, videos, and screenshots of chat logs!

Su Yi had organized these long ago, but he just hadn’t made up his mind to send them out until now… now they could be used.

Su Yi then hand-wrote a testament, listing point by point the various abuses Su Hanghan had inflicted on him, his favoritism toward Su Yuyan, and how Su Yuyan’s biological mother had intervened as a mistress, leading to his own mother’s death. This time, Su Yi wanted to expose all the Su family scandals to the public.

Finally, Su Yi wrote that he was severing his father-son relationship with Su Hanghan!

In addition, Su Yi wrote a development plan for the future of Yixia Studio, mentioning that he had accidentally met the very promising Qian Xu and admired him, hoping Yixia Studio would take in more newcomers in the future.

This way, it explained why Wang Xia had suddenly signed Qian Xu.

Su Yi finished writing and handed it to Wang Xia. Without a word, Wang Xia already knew what to do.

Wang Xia took all the evidence back to Yixia Studio. Not long after, the studio released an announcement—’A Letter to All Fans from Su Yi’!

Following that, Su Yi’s name dominated the trending searches: “Film Emperor Su Yi’s Last Letter,” “Su Yi Abused During His Lifetime,” “Su Yi Severs Ties with the Su Family,” “Su Yi Yixia Studio.”

【My heart hurts so much!】

【I can’t stop crying. I never expected the next time I saw his handwriting, it would be like this!】

【The person we love was actually being bullied and loathed by the Su family all along!】

【Is this the typical “stepmother leads to a step-father”? Look at those chat logs; Su Hanghan’s words are full of dissatisfaction and blame toward Su Yi, while his love for Su Yuyan almost overflows from the screen!】

【Even a passerby would feel bad for him.】

【Who would believe that the star-studded Film Emperor Su had no home because he was being bullied in his private life?】

【I still can’t believe all of this is real. He never said a word of grievance while he was alive!】

【How could the Su family treat him like that? He is our beloved Su Yi! How much money have we spent over the years to support the Su family’s hotels!】

【Su Yuyan debuted today using the title of Su Yi’s brother. This whole family is a bunch of vampires!】

【What brother? He’s the child of a mistress. The mistress successfully took the spot and angered the original wife to death, and then they bullied the original wife’s child.】

【The Su family is disgusting. I’ll never spend money at their hotels again. Let the Su family hotels go bankrupt!】

【The most disgusting one is Su Hanghan. Not long ago, he even spoke up to “defend” Su Yi and incited netizens to curse Wang Xia. He probably had his eye on Yixia Studio.】

【Absolutely! Su Hanghan is truly repulsive!】

【I was used like a pawn and went to curse Wang Xia. I apologize now. Wang Xia signing a newcomer so suddenly must have been because she found this manuscript of Su Yi’s.】

【Yes, signing a newcomer was so sudden, and she said she would support Qian Xu just as she supported Su Yi. It must have been Su Yi’s wish.】

【Didn’t the news say a while ago that Su Yi’s death might be foul play? Could it be related to the Su family?】

【If it really is, then those people in the Su family truly belong in hell!】

…….

Su Yuyan participated in a program for the first time today and was pampered by everyone. He was happy just after the broadcast ended, but suddenly, the people passing by were looking at him with strange eyes.

“What’s wrong with you all?” Su Yuyan sensed something was off but forced a smile to ask.

However, the people who were very friendly or even flattering toward him before were now avoiding him like the plague!

Su Yuyan quickly checked his phone. The moment he saw the latest hot topics, he felt like the sky was falling!

At that moment, the program crew found Su Yuyan. Su Yuyan thought they wanted him to leave and that he wouldn’t need to come for the next episode.

Instead, the crew said: “Su Yuyan, the editor thinks your image fits our program well. Congratulations, you will be a fixed guest for this season!”

“A fixed guest?!” Su Yuyan almost thought he had misheard.

“Yes, perform well in the future.”

With such massive traffic, the program crew wouldn’t miss out. “Black-red” (notoriety) is still fame. As long as Su Yuyan is there, people will definitely come to curse at him, and the crew won’t have to worry about ratings for this season!

Becoming a fixed guest caused Su Yuyan’s confidence to explode instantly. See? Even without relying on Su Yi, he can still make it. He really is a heaven-chosen superstar!

Qing Manor

Zhuang Qingyuan stood up and threw the iPad onto the table with a “thwack.” Beside him, Huo Yang was startled.

“Calm down, it’s all in the past. He is no longer a member of the Su family; those people can’t hurt him anymore!” Huo Yang hurried to soothe the “Tyrant Zhuang.”

“Invest
