...

Hearing his mom's word, Ye Shing doesn't know what to say anymore. Practically, there was a family. But their relations were already ruined many times ago.

Still, they have to repay for what their uncle did? He found it funny as well as a joke too. 

"Mom, is there any other way through which we can escape all these things?" Ye Shing asked.

But Su Xi did not reply to him. Instead, she dodged the question very easily as she had many other plans in her mind. First, she has to think about it.

Despite, Ye Shing kept on asking her, Su Xi just ignored his questions, and to save herself, she went to her own room to have peace.

She already had many thoughts revolving in her mind. Although she found the bags they are still down. The only option left with her is to return his bags to him.

But is there a guarantee that he will leave her and her family after she returns those bags to him? He is already aware of the sea route. Will he let go of her so easily?

Su Xi highly doubts it.

'I think I need to have a hot warm bath first.' to calm her nerves, she has to stop thinking about it for some time.

Otherwise, overthinking will result in the blast of her nerves and anger will make her face wrinkled! Su Xi prepared for her bath but it was unknown that Gu Yan was keeping an eye over her for a long period.

….

Sitting in his office, Gu Yan stared at the screen of his laptop. He was watching the video, released by the press where Su Xi's brother was arrested.

He had once met him in the restaurant with her father but he was aware that she doesn't have a good relationship with her family.

But what shocked him, even more, was, she went to meet her brother in jail.

'Why is she doing this!? Is there something that she is facing but is keeping it hidden from me!?' Gu Yan can't solve the mystery right now.

He already had many other problems in his life and many enemies, waiting for him to show his weakness but he had no idea that not only his enemies but his loved ones were also against him.

RING RING

Gu Yan, who was lost in his thoughts the moment ago, came out of a daze when he saw the dialer. For a few seconds, he doesn't know if he was in the position and mind set up to talk with his grandmother or not.

But at last, he ended up picking it up, "Hello? Grandmother?" 

"It's good that you still remember me. Otherwise, I would have thought that you have already forgotten about me." He heard his grandmother's taunted voice from the other side.

Massaging his temples, Gu Yan answered, "of course No. I have been quite busy for the past few weeks. Workload and other things as well. Wasn't able to talk to you. Anyway, how are you and grandfather?"

"We are perfectly fine. But I heard that you brought someone to your home. May I know who the person is?" Hearing this from his grandmother��s mouth, Gu Yan raised his eyebrows.

'How the hell is she aware of anyone else's existence in my penthouse? Is she keeping an eye upon me?' The possibility of this was quite high. 

And he had somehow felt helpless because he doesn't want anyone to know who exactly Su Xi is to him, his children, and other things as well.

Not because he was ashamed but simply because he doesn't trust his grandmother enough to disclose something.

But how can he forget that they are part of the royal family? He has to tell her about it anyway.

"Yeah. I brought someone at home and that is none other than your great-granddaughter. Don't ask me any questions right now. Will clarify everything later." 

"I know my child that you are busy. Come to the home. At least introduce us to her properly. After all, she is the future of our family and the next generation. We need to have an interaction."

Gu Yan was aware that she twisted her words and was just interested in pressing him into meeting her in any way. He was' t any fool but if not today, the theater has to introduce each of his children.

After all, they are all royals. Gu Yan doesn't doubt that they will lack any skills but he is afraid that what will he answer to them about someone else being his wife?

Su Xi is Ye Huo's wife, and he can simply let go of her legally but can he do that!? Is his heart ready to let go of such a lady and the mother of his children?

"I will see. Let us meet at the weekend. I have to go home now, talk to you later. Take care." 

"Take care of yourself and our granddaughter. We are looking forward to meeting her soon!" 

…..

On the other hand, Su Xi came out of the bathroom with her hair wet. She was wearing her nightgown and was ready to dry her hair but, then her gaze fell on her phone.

While taking a bath, an idea popped up in her mind and now, she knew how to execute the plan. This way, the Russian mafia will leave her too as well as Rex.

Taking a deep breath, Su Xi picked up her phone and dialed Rex's number. 

Although she knew that it was already late at night, Mafia people rarely sleep.

They have too much work to handle and she was sure that Rex would be awake till now.

The ring went through and as predicted by her, Rex picked up the call in just two rings. "Well Well, how am I getting a call from a lady at night?" 

Su Xi rolled her eyes at his comment. If that was in her hand, then she might never call him!

But keeping her calmness, Su Xi answered, "I have something important to discuss with you." 

"But let me congratulate you first. After all, finally, your brother is behind the bars. This way, he will not trouble you at least, right?" The line of sarcasm was quite evident but Su Xi had no wish to entertain his silly talks.

"You do know about many things, Rex. About my family, my kids, and everything. May I know why you are so interested in my lifestyle?" Su Xi can't help but use a little bit of sarcasm.

"Is that something to ask? Of course, you are my favorite and of use. How can I afford to lose you? Anyway, you haven't called me so late to talk about other weird things." Rex finally came on the main part.

Su Xi took a deep breath. By what she was doing, it might be considered as betraying her family but this is what they deserve when they try to put blame on her!

"Two and half years ago, the person who stole your bags and drugs wasn't my husband, Ye Huo but someone else." her hands were already sweaty due to the nervousness creeping out.

On the other hand, Rex stayed silent for a few seconds and then spoke in a cold tone, "Who was that person?" 

"I..I...It was none other than my younger brother, Su Sing. He was behind everything. Ye Huo just wanted to return the bag to you but before that, he was killed." Su Xi kept it short and simple.

Her only hope after this was, he will leave her out of this. Not like she was expecting but a simple hope. 

"That crazy brothers of yours who is rotting behind the bars of jail? That's good to know now. At least I can make his living even more like a hell!" Su Xi did not doubt this because he held that much power.

"You can do whatever you want, I won't interfere. I..I just want you to stop contacting me in the near future."

"Su Xi.. you are like a gem to me. How can I let you go now when I have your sea route to export my things. Tsk tsk, I have sympathy towards you for sure because what your brother did is being put on your head."

As expected, she knew this very well. This condition and probability were already measured in her head. But then, she heard him speaking once again.

"Su Xi, more than that, don't forget that in this underworld, this is the tradition. No matter who is at fault, the whole family has to repay that one member's sins." Su Xi's eyes turned cold after hearing his words.

She was well aware of this protocol. Not because she has ever done anything. But because once, her father was also in the underworld and her mother always felt concerned because of this tradition.

Taking a deep breath, Su Xi calmed herself first. She knew this would be the output of her talks with him but, first, she has to return his things.

"I'm ready to give you back all the bags the day after tomorrow. Meet me there, and make sure that I'm not killed, otherwise mark my words, I will just burn all the drugs and you will have to answer to Russian Mafia!"
