Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: What a Big Basin of Dog’s Blood

Su Wen fell into thought, and inadvertently met Zhou Hengyang’s gaze, only to see him flash a mischievous smile. Su Wen suddenly realized something and pounced forward, clinging to him as she interrogated, “You definitely know something. Were you just fooling me just now? My dad is formidable, but he can’t keep you in the dark.”

“I’m wronged, wife, you’re accusing me falsely.” Zhou Hengyang raised both hands in surrender.

“How have I falsely accused you?”

“You’re underestimating your father-in-law. If he doesn’t want to talk, nobody can get it out of him.”

“Don’t you have any guesses?” Su Wen looked up and deliberately bumped her forehead against his chin—it wasn’t much force and felt like tickling to Zhou Hengyang. And truth be told, this tactic was a diminishment in his defenses.

It worked better than severe interrogation; Zhou Hengyang’s heart softened completely; he felt like he would give Wenwen his life, let alone an answer to a question.

“I do have a guess.”

“Out with it, what’s your guess? Tell me quickly.”

“This guess is a bit far-fetched, but it’s quite possible,” Zhou Hengyang smoothly wrapped his arms around Su Wen’s waist, slightly pulling her into his embrace so she could lean on him more comfortably. “Don’t be rash when you hear it, promise me, okay?”

“Okay! Don’t you know what kind of person I am? I’m the calmest.” Su Wen said proudly, looking up, and without paying attention, she rubbed against Zhou Hengyang’s chin again.

The latter simply held her still so she wouldn’t move.

“Be good, don’t fidget and listen to what I have to say,” Zhou Hengyang said as he held her, taking a moment to steady his breathing before speaking, “Everyone is curious as to why your father-in-law took such drastic measures against Song Jiaming, but I think I might have a clue.”

“What?” Su Wen asked eagerly.

She was incredibly curious; if she didn’t figure it out, she wouldn’t be at peace. To them, the Song family was a colossal entity; if the head of the family had made a move against them, there would be no way out but death.

“Your father-in-law might not be blood-related to the Su family.”

“What?” Su Wen almost burst out laughing, the more she thought about it, the stranger her expression became until she ended up squirming in Zhou Hengyang’s arms.

Zhou Hengyang was baffled by her reaction.

What’s gotten into my wife?

“Hengyang, you’re not about to tell me that my dad isn’t my biological parent, that he’s actually somebody else’s child. Like, for example, the Song family?” I’m about to die of laughter.

They say the original novel is melodramatic, but I never took it seriously. After reading over a million words, aside from Sun Yunyun’s Golden Finger being somewhat melodramatic, the rest was well-written. Especially the way the leading man conducted business—his successes were truly exhilarating.

But I never expected the melodrama to be here.

Such a huge amount of melodrama.

Zhou Hengyang looked at his wife and nodded, “Indeed.”

“I…” I really feel like laughing! But it seems so rude to laugh, so I have to hold it in. After taking a few deep breaths, I manage to stop myself from laughing, “So that’s how it is; I understand now.”

“What do you understand?” Zhou Hengyang laid his hand on Su Wen’s forehead, muttering to himself, “You don’t have a fever, that’s good.”

“I most certainly don’t have a fever, I’m perfectly fine.”

“Then you…” The implication was that her reaction was abnormal.

Su Wen thought for a moment; as Su Xuewen’s oldest daughter, her reaction was indeed a bit abnormal. However, as someone who had read the original story and countless web novels, suddenly hearing such news made her feel like the melodrama was finally here.

It was a kind of… perverse pleasure unique to web novel readers, perhaps!

Regardless, the most important thing now was to clarify the current situation.

She didn’t care about her origins, but Su Qing and Su Xiu might not feel the same.
