Chapter 8 Are You Ah Han

Valeria walked through the brightly lit hallways of the Su Mansion which were uniquely designed. The architecture of the Su mansion was low- pitched. It featured stucco walls, rounded arches, and an asymmetrical facade.

Valeria halted in front of a room, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of the room. The door opened, a petite girl with a perfect oval shape emerged from the other side. She smiled at Valeria and invited her inside. When Valeria entered the room, her eyes were invaded by the shade of baby pink.

The baby pink color was very low-key but for Valeria who harbored a very deep hatred for the color pink, it felt pompous and bright. She squinted her eyes and instructed the girl to turn off the lights. She wanted to protect her eyes.

A wry smile twisted the girl's lips as she spoke "Get used to this color. This my room and I won't turn off the lights"

"Baby" Valeria gritted her teeth.

"I am a guest, you need to concede to my request," Valeria said to her with a hint of warning in her tone.

"You are a family member, don't insult yourself by calling yourself a guest. You are the maternal granddaughter of the great Su Yuheng to" Su Yanhua mocked her. Valeria opened her eyes completely and looked at her with a weird expression.

"What, you thought I am still the same pushover that would go running to her mama every time after being bullied by you," she told her with excitement. She stretched out her index finger and shook it, indicating 'no'. Valeria took a look at her and noticed that she was asking to be praised.

Su Yanhua was smiling with pride. Valeria patted her head gently and ruffled her hair. She laughed gleefully and tried to shake her hands off. Valeria took her hands away and changed her expression back to her usual expressionless face. Su Yanhua looked at her face and stopped talking.

Valeria held her and spoke first "I will only tell you this once and you must believe me, whatever I say". A surge of anxiety traveled through her body. She nodded to express her loyalty.

"How are things with him?" Valeria asked cautiously with her eyes fixed on Su Yanhua's face to catch the latter if she lies.

Unaware of Valeria's worries, Su Yanhua revealed a sigh and started talking.

"That Mu guy is a total love idiot. Despite being a playboy he has never been able to get my hints. Sometimes I feel frustrated to the point of killing him, I think I should give up". She made a sad face.

Valeria nodded in understanding and opened Su Yanhua's eyes to another possibility.

"What if he is doing it on purpose," Valeria asked her. Su Yanhua looked at her with confusion.

"I mean, what if he is pretending to be clueless. Maybe he is aware but he doesn't feel the same about you. Or what if he also likes you but he does like you and is pretending to be aloof because he still wants to play around. But if a man loves you wholeheartedly why would he look at the other side. Tell me how he treats you". She stated a lot of possibilities and questions as well.

Su Yanhua was intrigued by her blunt questioning and asked "Why are you asking about this".

"Okay, forget about this" Valeria dodged her question and looked around the room. Her eyes were glued to the bed which was covered with a pink bedsheet. She gave Su Yanhua a complicated look and pointed in the direction of the bed.

"Of course. Pink bedsheets, Pink pillows" she walked up to the bed and pointed at the canopy and emphasized, loudly " Pink canopy, you are crazy". Beads of sweat appeared on Valeria's forehead and her mystic blue eyes were filled with fear. Su Yanhua felt that Valeria was traumatized by the pink color and she was holding herself back from exploding.

"How about we go to your room" Su Yanhua gave the suggestion. She witnessed Valeria's trembling hands and fearful eyes. She crouched and placed both of her hands on her forehead and started mumbling "I don't want to see it". Her voice was getting louder every time by every passing moment.

Su Yanhua ran to the nightstand and clicked the bell. Then she went where Valeria was and tried to hug her but failed. She patted her back and whispered in her ears " nothing is wrong". She looked at the door to see if anyone was there. At that moment the door opened and Butler He entered the room.

He let out a gasp and instructed the maids to take Valeria away and to call the family doctor.

An hour later

Valeria was laying on the bed of the guest room, unconscious. She kept mumbling something. Grandfather Su and Su Yanhua looked at each other while mother Su kept wiping the sweat from her forehead. Su Yongbo who was standing near the door glanced at the mumbling Valeria and frowned.

The voice of the being closed caught everyone's attention. They looked at the door in unison and at each after being unable to comprehend the situation.

Even though Grandfather Su acted clueless about the situation he was well aware of everything that was happening with his son and daughter. He massaged his temples in frustration.

In Su Yongbo's Study

A handsome middle-aged man sat behind the desk of the study with a laptop in front of him. The bright lights of the study highlighted his sharp features with very few signs of aging

"Tell me, are you Ah Han" he looked at the handsome man on the laptop's screen.

Long Yuehan looked at Su Yongbo and smiled. His smile was very perfunctory as he spoke "Nothing can stay hidden from you, in just two days you were able to figure out who Ah Han is. The next week you'll tell me who Bai Cheng is". His sentences were accompanied with a mild chuckle.

"It means that you admit it. Tell me why and when Valeria was traumatized by the pink color" Su Yongbo asked while back on his chair.

Long Yuehan's white face turned pale. He cursed himself for letting her go to the Su's. But the Su's are not of the past. "I want to come over," he said.

He took a look at Su Yongbo and saw that he was checking his phone. A wry smile appeared on his thin lips as he replied "and tell her that you are Li Yuehan".

That was the first time when Long Yuehan admitted that this old man is more formidable than he actually thought. If Su Yonbo was this scheming then Alvara Ortego, his father in law is not going to be an easy feat. He felt a headache coming.

In The Guest room

Valeria opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Grandfather Su's worried face. She looked at him and let out a slight smile to ease his worry. Grandfather Su, Auntie Su and Su Yanhua looked at her and couldn't believe his eyes. She looked pathetic and pitiful yet still beautiful. Even in her pathetic state, she could exude an elegance that was impossible for a socialite to project. Su Yanhua saw her face being reflected in Valeria's mystic blue doe eyes.

"Why are you looking at me that?" Valeria questioned upon being stared at.

" I mean who likes the pink color anyways. Don't think too much" She looked at them and reassured them.

Su Yanhua laughed softly and replied " We were not born today, especially Grandfather. If you don't want to tell us, no problem".

"We will just ask Uncle"

"I dare you to" Valeria threatened.

Su Yanhua shrugged and picked up her phone from the dresser and placed it on her ears. She looked at Auntie Su with the intention of asking for help. To her surprise, Auntie Su also shrugged.

Today Valeria understood the true meaning of betrayal. But she couldn't just let them reprimand her father for her mistakes. It would be cowardice.

"Stop, I'll tell you. Hang up first" Valeria told her in a heavy tone and remarked, pointing her finger at Su Yanhua "one day, I'll be stripped naked by you"

While talking they failed to notice that the door was slightly opened and someone was recording them.

Only Valeria!!!!!
