A Family's Fight for Unity Chapter 2

"Do you want to scald me to death?!" With a roar, the teacup fell to the ground.

Zhou's mother stood in the bright main room with an arrogant look, glaring fiercely at Sophie Su who was kicked to the ground, trembling all over, and not saying a word.

At this moment, she was supporting herself with her hands, leaning against a mahogany chair like a willow in the wind, her watery eyes filled with tears, her pearly teeth biting her red lips, her chest trembling slightly due to her rapid breathing, her slender waist that could be held in one hand collapsed into a beautiful curve, her long legs curled up under her round and perky B*tt0cks, and she was fearfully hiding her pair of small lotus feet inside her gray cloth skirt.

Three years of hunger, cold and deliberate torture, except for causing her to develop slowly and look haggard, did not diminish her beautiful beauty in the slightest.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother became more annoyed, grabbed the plate of pastries next to her and threw it at Sophie Su!

"Hey hey." Zhou's father hurriedly grabbed Zhou's mother's wrist, "We're counting on her to do the work. It's not good if she gets hurt."

Zhou's mother glared at Zhou's father, but she also put down the plate as advised: "Are you counting on her to work, or are you afraid of hurting your feelings?"

Seeing that the other party was about to bring up the incident last year when he was drunk and forcibly touched Sophie Su's hand in the kitchen, Zhou's father immediately laughed dryly and tried to please her: "Why should I feel sorry for her because she looks like a bad luck to her husband? I'm just afraid that you'll get angry and get sick."

"Hmph!" Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him and yelled at Sophie Su with disgust: "Who are you still lying there for? Go pour another cup of tea!"

Sophie Su held back her tears, stood up and picked up the broken porcelain before she dared to walk out of the main room.

"Madam! Master! Something bad has happened!!"

Li Er, the gatekeeper, came running in from outside the courtyard gate. When he saw Sophie Su, whose eyes were red and looked like those ravaged by rain on banana leaves, he was stunned for a moment. He glanced at her chest, which was wet with tea stains and vaguely showed through her moon-white dress, and then he swallowed his saliva and stepped into the main room.

Zhou's mother: "What's wrong? Why are you yelling so early in the morning?"

"The capital city!" Li Er tripped over the threshold, and after stabilizing himself, he continued, "Someone is coming from the capital city!"

Before Zhou's mother could stop him, the noisy Li Er blurted out, "Su family, Ethan Su is here to ask for someone!"

Brother?

Sophie Su turned around in shock, and in the gloomy look on Zhou's mother's face, she suddenly ran towards the door regardless of anything!

"Catch her for me!" Zhou's mother roared. Li Er covered his ears and was stunned for a moment before he reacted and started to chase her.

But Sophie Su, who had always been slender and frail, was now running forward like a wild horse, and she didn't even care that she knocked over the maid who was carrying the night fragrance.

It was not until he arrived at the gate of the compound and saw a carriage and a strange man appear before him that his smile stopped and he froze in place.

The young man in black came over when he heard the voice.

He has regular facial features, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He holds a long sword in his left hand and his hair is tied up in a high ponytail. Although his clothes are simple, the silver cloud embroidery that glows faintly in the sun and the Qilin jade pendant hanging around his waist all show that this person has an extraordinary background.

Even the carriage behind him was intricately carved, with a colorful brocade roof and short purple spikes swaying in the wind. Combined with the nanmu ebony body, although it was extremely low-key, it still couldn't hide its nobleness.

Not to mention the two sleek chestnut horses, not only were their manes meticulously trimmed, but even the bits in their mouths were inlaid with navy sapphires at both ends, and the leashes were wrapped in gold threads, shining brightly in the sunlight.

In contrast, Sophie Su, who was dressed in a rough linen dress, with messy black hair, wet lapels, and a dark yellow unknown liquid stained on the hem of her skirt, looked extremely miserable and embarrassed.

Oliver Luo never imagined that his master, who seemed so glorious and bright, would have such a sloppy sister.

Suddenly, he asked with some uncertainty: "Sophie Su?"

Content not yet finished, continue reading on the next page. When her name was called, the little girl finally came to her senses.

When she saw the young man's scrutinizing eyes, she immediately shrank her shoulders back in uneasiness and nodded timidly, "Yes, I'm Sophie Su."

The corners of Oliver Luo's lips twitched. Although he still didn't quite believe it, when he looked at that gorgeous face and thought of his master's outstanding appearance, his concerns were instantly dispelled.

So he bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I am Oliver Luo, the personal guard of the Minister of Revenue. Old Madam Su's birthday is coming soon, and the Minister asked me to pick you up to reunite with you."

Sophie Su blinked and asked hesitantly, "Sir Shangshu? My brother?"

"Yes." Perhaps it was because Sophie Su's cautious and curious look like a little rabbit was really cute, which made Oliver Luo couldn't help but tease: "Miss, you won't forget your brother's name, right?"

Sophie Su quickly shook her head: "Of course not, my brother's name is Ethan Su, and his courtesy name is Yizhi."

Oliver Luo smiled and said, "That's right, my master is your brother."

Hearing this, Amelia Su finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes became red again, and she felt excited and sad in her heart.

Brother, her brother did not abandon her after all!

Oliver Luo naturally didn't know the grievances the little girl had experienced over the years, and thought that he had said something to offend her. His scalp suddenly tingled, and he asked helplessly: "Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"

Sophie Su shook her head again, raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and cried and laughed: "No, I, I am just too happy."

Seeing that he was not the one who made her cry, Oliver Luo felt relieved immediately. He turned around, lifted the car door curtain and said, "Shall we leave now?"

"No one is allowed to take her away!"

The content is not finished, continue reading on the next page. Zhou's mother rushed out of the door angrily, grabbed Sophie Su's ear without saying a word, and dragged her into the yard regardless of her struggle and crying!

"What are you doing?" Oliver Luo took a few steps forward and grabbed Zhou's mother's wrist. She screamed in pain and let go in an instant. Then he stretched out his long arms and protected Sophie Su behind him.

Zhou's mother had never suffered such a loss before, and she cried out to the sky: "Where did this scoundrel come from! He robbed people in broad daylight!"

The originally quiet courtyard gate was instantly filled with a crowd of onlookers, but the Zhou family was domineering and bullied their neighbors on a daily basis, so no one went up to help, but just pointed and watched the fun.

At this time, Zhou's father rushed over, panting, leaning on his crutches. He saw his wife sitting on the ground and yelling, while Sophie Su was hiding behind a man.

He was so angry that he raised his cane and started beating her: "You loser daughter-in-law! You actually seduced a man from outside? Are you worthy of my son?!"

Sophie Su hugged her head and squatted down reflexively, but she didn't even dare to speak loudly. She just begged in a low voice: "Don't hit me, I'll be obedient, don't hit me..."

Oliver Luo grabbed the crutch, turned his head to look at Sophie Su who was curled up in fear, and suddenly became furious. He grabbed the crutch in his hand and broke it with both arms!

Snap!

Seeing the ancient tree as thick as an arm being broken so easily, Zhou's father and mother were so scared that they stepped back, staring at Oliver Luo in horror as if they were looking at a murderer.

The other party ignored them, turned around and helped Sophie Su up, and tried to comfort her softly: "Don't be afraid, Miss, the Shangshu will make the decision for you!"

When they heard Oliver Luo bring up Ethan Su, Zhou's father and mother's faces suddenly changed and they started shouting: "A daughter who is married off is like spilled water! She is my Zhou family's daughter-in-law in life! She is my Zhou family's ghost in death! What's wrong with being an official? Just because you are an official, you can Fcuking ignore etiquette and morality and rob people?!"

"You Su family are a bunch of B@st@ards! You coveted the betrothal gifts and married this unlucky girl to me! Now that you are in power, you are turning your back on me?!"

"Sophie Su! You little B!tch! Have you forgotten the dirty things you've done?"

The content is not finished yet, continue reading on the next page "My poor son was harmed by you, a little Sl*t!!"

"Shameless Wh0re! She flirts with men everywhere with her Sl*tty face! I don't know how many men she has slept with behind her back!!"

Almost everyone in the village knew how the Zhou family's cunning parents-in-law tortured Sophie Su on a daily basis, and this kind of ugly curse would come out every now and then.

The villagers, who had long been accustomed to it, shook their heads. Some whispered that it was a sin, and then continued to watch the show while eating melon seeds.

Oliver Luo was born into a famous family in the martial arts world. Later, when he followed Ethan Su, he paid more attention to self-cultivation and strict self-discipline. He never swore at all, and even when they had a quarrel, he would at most greet people with "parents". He had never heard so many dirty words.

Seeing that the other party's curses were getting more and more unpleasant, I really couldn't get a word in.

Finally, he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, picked up the dazed Sophie Su, threw her onto the carriage, and drove away!

Everyone was completely dumbfounded by this. It took a while for Zhou's mother to react. She immediately screamed and shouted: "They are robbing people! Bandits are robbing people!!"

Because of the farce at the door, Sophie Su completely lost face. She didn't even dare to look at Oliver Luo along the way, for fear of seeing contempt in his eyes.

And because of her status, Oliver Luo couldn't say much.

In addition, he had been so reckless in kidnapping the person that he didn't know how much trouble it would cause. All he could think about was how to explain to his master when he returned to the capital.

So, apart from eating in silence at the same table when they were resting at the post station, the two of them did not exchange even a single word.

It was not until the smell of Sophie Su's clothes became increasingly unpleasant that Oliver Luo awkwardly got a set of the lady's old clothes from the postmaster, breaking the weird atmosphere between the two.

The content is not finished yet, continue reading on the next page "Miss." Oliver Luo handed the water bag filled with water from the river into the car door curtain. After Sophie Su took it and thanked him, he pulled the reins again and said, "The capital is approaching, I plan to drive overnight and try to arrive early tomorrow morning, so there may be some bumps."

Sophie Su paused as she pinched the water bag with her fingertips. Thinking that she was about to see her brother, her heart, which had been calm all the way, suddenly became panicked.

I haven't seen my brother for three years. My brother's appearance has become a little blurry. I wonder if he has grown taller? Have his preferences changed? What if he doesn't like me...

Seeing that there was no sound in the car, Oliver Luo turned around in confusion: "Miss? Are you asleep?"

"Ah?" Sophie Su suddenly came back to her senses, lifted the car door curtain with an apologetic look on her face, looked into the young man's clean and clear eyes and smiled: "I'm fine, thank you for your hard work, Brother Luo."

The little girl in front of me was already as beautiful as a flower, and after nearly a month of recuperation, her complexion had improved a lot.

When she smiles at this moment, her watery almond-shaped eyes like a deer bend into crescents, her red lips curl up to reveal her snow-white teeth, and her baby fat that has not yet faded makes her look so cute and adorable that it can melt people's hearts.

Not to mention the soft and tender voice of "Brother Luo", which made Oliver Luo's whole body soften. He turned his head with a slightly red cheek and said stiffly: "It's okay, it's not hard."

Sophie Su lowered the car door curtain, opened a small window, and looked at the dark forest on both sides of the road. She couldn't help but think of her experience when she was trafficked...

Looking at the soft couch covered with fox fur and embroidered pillows, and the incense cabinet inlaid with gold carvings, the luxurious carriage exudes exquisite comfort everywhere. Suddenly, his nose felt sore and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Brother, he still loves me, right?

With such a self-comforting mentality, Sophie Su looked up at the starry sky, felt the cool night breeze of early spring, and fell asleep unknowingly.
