Su Chengji being able to wake up and continue joking to make Su Xiaong happy is a blessing from heaven to Yu Xiaong.
She stayed at the hospital all day, giving Su’s mother a chance to go ho and rest for a day.
Yin Shixiu received a call from the lawyer; he still needed to handle so paperwork regarding Su Jianyi and Zhou Wenxiu’s case.
So after lunch, he went to the police station.
Su Chengji, in his forties, still had the personality of a child. Luckily it was a private room; if he were sharing, other patients would surely laugh at how childlike Su’s father looked.
Su Xiaong sat by the bed browsing Weibo, reading out loud to Su’s father whatever she ca across.
In the afternoon, the doctor ca to check on Su’s father and thought the problem wasn’t too big, his condition was improving.
The tone was gentle, except for the sowhat stern "don’t get too emotional" before he left.
And this last sentence was half directed at Su’s father, and half at Su Xiaong.
After the doctor left, Su Xiaong quickly covered Su’s father with the quilt, "Dad, you should sleep for a while."
Su Chengji reached out and held Su Xiaong’s hand, suddenly smiling and saying, "ng ng... when I’m better, how about going to live in Beijing with you?"
Su Xiaong was stunned, it took her quite a while to recover.
Why would Dad suddenly suggest going to live in Beijing with her? He...
"You don’t agree, huh?"
Su Chengji pretended to look very sad...
Even as slow as Su Xiaong’s reactions were, she understood at this point. She nodded, "I agree!"
Su Chengji smiled, "Don’t cry in front of my sickbed, it’s not lucky at all."
"Alright, hurry and sleep, okay? Ever since you woke up, you’ve been making a fuss. You see any other severely ill patients as spirited as you?"
Su Chengji did need rest, and soon he fell asleep. Su Xiaong moved a chair to sit by the balcony.
The autumn sun was bright, making her feel very comfortable.
She sent Yin Shixiu a text ssage.
Informing him that Dad and Mom were willing to live together with them in Beijing.
Telling him, thank you.
Once the ssage was sent, she didn’t wait for a reply.
And when Yin Shixiu read the text, he felt relieved but didn’t plan on replying.
Even though he knew, there were many, many legitimate reasons he could use to persuade Su Chengji and Bai Sixian to live in Beijing.
Each of those reasons sounded dignified and high-sounding.
But both he and Su Xiaong knew they were acting out of selfishness.
They just wanted peace of mind for themselves, which ant making the parents leave the city they were familiar with, their circle of life, their neighbors, friends, and so on...
The only solace is that Su’s father and Su’s mother are still relatively young.
Su Xiaong leaned back in her chair, with the sun lazily shining, she finally felt the comfort brought by the slow-paced life in Chengdu.
However, just as she was about to drift into sleep, a phone call startled her awake.
She glanced at the phone and answered...
"Xiao Jin..."
At this mont, Su Jin, sitting by the Moon River, called Su Xiaong.
The main idea was to inquire about her uncle’s condition, and upon learning that Uncle Chengji had woken up and was improving, she felt relieved.
Su Jin is a smart person.
Ever since the incident with her uncle, she quickly called her parents, advising them to be extra careful in the near future.
While she couldn’t be sure, she felt this matter was inseparable from Su Jianyi’s family.
Fortunately, after Su Xiaong and Yin Shixiu went to Chengdu, all the culprits were rounded up overnight.
Otherwise, Su Jin believed the matter wouldn’t have ended so smoothly.
"Sister Xiaong, don’t worry too much, take care of your health."
"...Uh, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Su Jin let out a long sigh.
That Su Jianyi family, she really disliked them profoundly.
She felt a sense of pleasure seeing them get their couppance, but the whole situation involving a life and her uncle’s safety made her feel troubled.
"What is Su Xiaong to you?"
Suddenly, an unfriendly and sowhat assertive voice sounded behind Su Jin.
Su Jin turned around and saw a tall boy standing there, picked up her bag, and stood up.
"She’s my sister, who are you? Do you know her?"
Bai Shunyuan’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, his eyes squinting at the bob haircut before him.
Did she not rember him, or...
Bai Shunyuan stepped forward, "I’m Bai Shunyuan; we t when Shan Minglang brought you to the school."
Su Jin raised her eyebrows, staring at Bai Shunyuan’s face as if recalling...
"Are you doing this on purpose?"
Never mind Bai Shunyuan’s naturally domineering aura that demands attention wherever he stands. With a face like that, how could anyone forget it?
Su Jin didn’t understand what he ant by that.
In response, she casually asked, "On purpose for what?"
As she spoke, she took glasses out of her bag, placing the thin silver fras on her nose, which added a delicate touch.
Su Jin did have so mory of Bai Shunyuan.
But from the ti she arrived at the school until today, it had been about a month, and she hadn’t seen him since, so it was natural for her to need a mont to recall.
Moreover, although she had severe astigmatism and myopia, she disliked wearing glasses, so not recognizing him was very normal.
Bai Shunyuan noticed her reaction was very natural, without any pretense, her gaze clear.
After putting on the glasses, her eyes, like black pearls, directly t his.
It actually rendered Bai Shunyuan montarily unable to articulate what she might be "doing on purpose..."
He could only clear his throat lightly and raise his chin slightly, "I haven’t heard that Su Xiaong has a sister?"
Doesn’t Aunt only have one daughter, Xiao ng?
"I’m her cousin."
"Cousin..."
So... soone from Uncle’s side...
No blood relation to , hmm.
Bai Shunyuan was startled by this realization passing through his mind.
A mont later, he couldn’t help but inwardly curse Su Xiaong, if it weren’t for that woman, he wouldn’t be so sensitive about "blood relations" now!
It’s not just with won. Sotis, upon eting a new friend, this phrase pops into his head...
Hmm, no familial relations.
This is becoming a psychological shadow.
Su Jin noticed he was a bit lost in thought and waved a hand in front of him, "Senior, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going."
"Huh? Oh... ah, wait a minute!"
Su Jin looked at him, waiting for him to speak further.
Bai Shunyuan faced her direct gaze and was suddenly at a loss for what to say to stop her...
Suddenly annoyed, "Is being impolite and staring at others sothing the Su Family enjoys?"
Su Jin raised her eyebrows slightly...
"When you talk to soone, you should look at the lower half of the face; staring into soone’s eyes is impolite, don’t you know that?"
"Are you trying to pick a fight?"
Su Jin suddenly asked, looking serious.
"What did you say?"
"Only soone who has done sothing wrong, soone guilty, would be afraid to be stared in the eye. I don’t know what’s polite or not. If you’re done, I’m leaving."
"Hold on, what’s with your attitude?"
Bai Shunyuan’s temper was always bad; a dictator with a self-centered ego couldn’t tolerate people who didn’t acknowledge him.
And she resembled Su Xiaong a bit in her brows and eyes.
This made him feel fleetingly disoriented, as if ti had rewound, making him relive the grievances he’d suffered under Su Xiaong!
It was utterly unsettling.
Su Jin had only t Bai Shunyuan once, and his features weren’t very clear to her, but being Xiao ng’s cousin and having that campus tyrant deanor left so impression.
So...
"You’re Xiao ng’s cousin, right?"
Su Jin stopped, showing rare patience.
"You know?"
"Hmm, I also know you’re quite afraid of Sister Xiaong."
"If I called Sister Xiaong and told her you’re picking on —"
"Who told you I’m afraid of Su Xiaong?"
Bai Shunyuan’s voice instantly dropped below freezing, sounding terrifyingly heavy...
Seeing his face go dark, Su Jin felt a bit suspicious...
Could Shan Minglang have been lying to her?
"Who told you I’m scared of her?!"
"Uh... if you’re not afraid of her, then I’ll just call and tell her you’re harassing , you shouldn’t—"
"What’s wrong with you? How am I harassing you?!"
Seeing him flare up, Su Jin raised an eyebrow, convinced Shan Minglang wasn’t kidding with her.
Watching her eyebrow perk up, Bai Shunyuan took a deep breath, quickly suppressing his temper, "Let tell you, it’s not fear of her, just that woman is annoying, besides..."
His chin still slightly raised, his eyes swept up and down over Su Jin...
Besides a decent face and height, nothing else about her.
A shirt style long outdated, jeans faded from wash, and a very old bag...
Oh, oh, these glasses... what style are they?
What girl still wears glasses like this?
This woman is truly out of touch.
"What’s worth harassing you?"
He tilted his head down with a bit of sarcasm and sauciness, asking.
Su Jin still wore a serious expression, earnestly responding, "I don’t know, you’d have to ask yourself. If there’s nothing worth it, then why are you harassing ? Are you crazy?"
Su Jin glanced at him and turned to leave.
"Stop right there!"
Knowing Bai Shunyuan was just looking for trouble, Su Jin didn’t pay attention to his shouting and continued walking toward the library.
Bai Shunyuan frowned, kicked a stone beside him in frustration.
What’s with this arrogance...
Are all the Su Family won the sa?!
All have this deanor that annoys him!
Su Jianyi’s case is still being processed by the legal authorities, with Zhou Wenxiu’s cris there for all to see, she can’t deny it.
The Zhou Family, unable to accept reality, caused a scene.
Afterwards, seeming to realize Zhou Wenxiu really committed murder, they ca again.
Hoping leniency could be shown, to give Zhou Wenxiu a way out.
After all, she still has a son.
"Hong Shu’s family has only one son, now the whole family is no better than dead. Should we pity her? Who pities the already dead, and the one now lying in a hospital bed needing a year’s rehabilitation?"
