210: You… You Hit Me!

You… You Hit Me!

An air of dismal shrouded the Su family. 0

Li Jingran's fury was through the roof. "Hubby, why don't you ask around and find out what the Situ family meant by this? Doesn't the Su family's social status speak for itself? Or am I unworthy? They're looking down on us." 

Everyone received the anti-aging beauty pill except her. It was just the Su family who was left out. 

"Isn't it just a health supplement? The Situ family is busy and probably forgot." Slouching against the bed, Su Yi sipped the wine and nonchalantly replied. 

Of course, he had caught wind of the anti-aging beauty pill that was quite the buzz lately. Everyone who tried it spoke of its miracles. 

Nevertheless, it was only an oral supplement to nourish the body. Amazing as it may be, it could not possibly be that extraordinary. Could it make one young again? Could it be a cure for all diseases? 

"What do you mean by 'forget'?" Li Jingran was fuming at that point. "Did you know? Even the D-listers on the TV show's release today received their share of the anti-aging beauty pill. Dare you say the Situ family forgot? Why can't they forget others rather than us?"

She was brimming with anger at the thought of those minor celebrities trying out the pill in her face while showing off the thank-you note given by the Situ family. They even had the audacity to ask her what was written in her thank-you note. 

"Just get over it. Once the pill is launched, I'll buy you as many as you want." Unbothered, Su Yi was of the opinion that Li Jingran was being difficult and deliberately splitting hairs. "Take a shower and go to bed!" 

"Hubby." Seeing red, Li Jingran was annoyed by his offhanded attitude. "I can forget about the Situ family looking down on me but they're picking on the Su family. You might be able to dismiss it, but I can't take it sitting down." 

Oh, great! 

Look at his attitude. 

Did he really not care that the family was messing around with them? 

The Su family might not be of prominence, but that did not mean they could be disregarded entirely. With even the nouveau riche beneath them acquiring the anti-aging beauty pill, why was the Su family dismissed?

"Enough." Su Yi's patience ran out. He yelled, "So what if they didn't provide you with one? What can you do about it? It's not like you or I can shake up the Situ family."

Who was the Situ family? They were an influential family at the top of China's food chain, not somebody the Su family could offend. 

What was so great about the anti-aging beauty pill? It was just pills. Was it worth it to get herself so worked up? 

Moreover, why would the Situ family pick on the Su family? He had no grudges with the Situs as they were not in the same industry nor did they had any business relations. Why would they try to crush the Su family? 

Su Yi believed Li Jingran was just paranoid! 

In absolute fury, Li Jingran lashed out, "Su Yi, the way I see it, you're a coward. You cower while they give us a hard time. Are you waiting for the Situ family to…" 

Slap. 

With the alcohol going to his head, Su Yi's face turned sullen with rage as he slapped Li Jingran. 

Feeling the burn in her cheek, Li Jingran looked at him in disbelief. "You… You… You hit me!" 

Su Yi furiously pointed at her in a warning. "You can say this in front of me at home but if you run your mouth out there… Well, you can try me!" 

He then stormed out of the room. 

"Where are you going?" Tears filled Li Jingran's eyes. Angry and hurt, she went after him with a hand over her face. "Su Yi, you can't leave!"
