Su Jianxiu patted Su Lian on the shoulder and was quite satisfied to see that Su Lian was much calmer than before and that there was a sense of unfamiliarity between her and Bai Qiu in her eyes.
Su Jianxiu is now in a hurry to go to the insurance company to have Bai Qiu's accidental death reported.
Then you can receive a huge compensation for Bai Qiu's accidental death.
"Lian'er, did you hear what your father said? I have things to do later. There will be people to take care of Mom's body. You must study hard and not disappoint your father. I won't have time to take you home later. The uncles outside will take you home. Wait for your father at home and don't be too sad, so as not to harm your health."
If it were before, Su Lian would have thought her father was the best person in the world when she heard Su Jianxiu's gentle words. But now, after reading the description in the diary, she felt that the middle-aged man in front of her, though glamorous, had wrinkles around his eyes and was filled with only self-interest and calculation, full of false affection.
Su Lian's goosebumps on her arms disappeared completely, and she even felt nauseous for a while.
Su Lian composed herself, curled the corners of her lips into a meek, fake smile, and said, "Okay, Daddy, don't work too hard and take good care of yourself. Mommy is gone, and now it's just Daddy and me left to depend on each other. I don't want to lose you too."
Su Jianxiu was extremely satisfied with Su Lian's reaction. He reached out and touched Su Lian's face before turning and leaving.
After Su Jianxiu left, Su Lian frowned and vigorously rubbed her face with the back of her hand.
Clutching the diary in her arms, she heard the footsteps of the men who had brought her there fading into the distance, and a wave of panic washed over her. Who could she rely on at this moment?
If everything written in this diary is true, then the fate she will face after returning with Su Jianxiu is exactly what the diary predicts.
She doesn't want to.
Su Lian reopened the diary and tore out the first half of the page that recorded that she was not Bai Qiu and Su Jianxiu's biological daughter.
After tearing it off, she found there was nothing left to do, so she crumpled the paper into a ball, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it forcefully.
The dry, crumpled paper made her throat ache as she swallowed, and she even shed tears.
But Su Lian's face was resolute; she wanted to live well, to live like a human being.
Even if she can't escape the stigma of being an illegitimate child, a mistress, and a weaver girl, it's still better than living a life enslaved by Su Jianxiu, who will later reveal his true colors.
Su Qianqian got into the butler's car and told the butler to follow the black van in front of them. The butler did as he was told without saying a word.
As they approached their destination, Su Qianqian realized that the housekeeper was of no use and instructed him to park the car in a slightly secluded spot.
As soon as she parked her car, Su Qianqian saw Su Jianxiu get out of another car through the car window and walk into the building in front of her. The building had the words "Mental Hospital" prominently displayed on it.
Su Qianqian was completely confused, since this part of the story wasn't in the book she read.
At this moment, the butler turned around with a thoughtful expression.
"Young Miss, how did you know about these things?"
Su Qianqian: "Huh?"
The butler had received a favor from the Xu family, so he had been protecting Su Qianqian on behalf of her maternal grandparents.
Since Xu Lian's death, Su Jianxiu has revealed his true colors and dealt a heavy blow to the Xu family.
Su Jianxiu's success was too petty and smug, so the Xu family, for the sake of their reputation, did not make a big fuss about it and simply endured it silently.
The money Su Jianxiu extorted from the Xu family over the years could have provided her with ten comfortable years to live out her remaining years.
But Su Jianxiu seemed to know that the Xu family was like a money pit for him, which he could withdraw whenever he wanted. After losing his ability in a certain area, he became addicted to gambling and squandered his money.
“Miss, I recently noticed that Su Jianxiu has incurred another debt, so she took out a huge personal accident insurance policy for Bai Qiu.”
Upon hearing the name Bai Qiu, Su Qianqian's distant memories resurfaced.
From the perspective of the original owner, Su Qianqian, Bai Qiu was merely the one who ruined her mother's marriage.
Therefore, Su Qianqian was just watching the show when the housekeeper told her about the situation.
However, Su Jianxiu's gambling addiction made Su Qianqian wary, since a gambler can be extremely dangerous.
So what's the point of the useless system letting her know about this kind of unexpected plot twist?
He just wanted to tell her that it wasn't so easy to get what she borrowed, and that a huge windfall wouldn't be something she could easily enjoy.
[Waste System: Host, don't say that. After all, this is the original plot point. After all, the host has become the system. Does the Su Qianqian in the system world have to accept all the difficulties that Su Qianqian in the system world faces?]
If the useless system doesn't properly guide the host in this regard, and the host only indulges in pleasure, focusing only on enjoyment and losing sight of the bigger picture, wouldn't that be the useless system's fault?
After hearing the notification from the Waste System, Su Qianqian raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms, and leaned back in the leather seat.
Anyway, the system only requires her to complete the plot points, which means she just needs to sit in the car and wait out the time.
But not long after, Su Qianqian saw Su Jianxiu again, got into his car, and left.
[Waste System: Warmly reminding the host that you have triggered a fixed checkpoint and completed the story mission.]
Please get off the vehicle within one minute, walk forward 375m, turn left and walk 120m, then turn left at a 45-degree angle behind the large tree in front of you.
And it will take the person who appears before the host home.
Su Qianqian: ? ? ?
They even arranged things so meticulously just for walking a few steps, and what's with that angle?
This is obsessive-compulsive disorder; it's an illness that needs treatment.
And what's with bringing it home?
Su Qianqian had no choice but to do as she was told.
As Su Qianqian followed the instructions of the waste system to reach the corresponding location, she was just about to stretch her muscles when she saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance of a nearby building.
It's Su Lian.
Su Lian glanced around outside and was overjoyed to find Su Qianqian lurking in the corner.
Before she could even think about why Su Qianqian was there, the light in her eyes was like seeing a lifeline.
Su Lian knew that the men behind her probably didn't recognize Su Qianqian, so she jogged up, deliberately shook off them, pulled the thing out of her arms, grabbed Su Qianqian's clothes, and quickly stuffed the diary into Su Qianqian's arms.
Su Qianqian naturally did not expect that the person who appeared in front of her and needed to be taken home by her was Su Lian.
Ah, this...
[Waste System: Friendly reminder, host, you must complete the storyline milestones. Otherwise, the storyline will be disrupted, affecting your current assets.]
Su Qianqian subconsciously put her hands in front of her chest to prevent the diary from falling out of her arms, while her other hand was already clenched into a fist.
Su Lian only wanted to stuff the diary into Su Qianqian's arms and did not expect Su Qianqian to give her a kind look.
However, to Su Lian's surprise, Su Qianqian actually grabbed her wrist.
"Tell Su Jianxiu that I've taken this person away. She doesn't even watch over her precious daughter, letting her out so easily. Isn't she afraid that she'll be taken away by someone with ulterior motives and mistreated?"
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, the burly men clearly showed a hint of fear in their eyes, took a few steps back, and did not try to stop her.
Su Qianqian was wondering how she had suddenly become so intimidating, but then she turned around...
Good heavens, there were seven or eight bodyguards in black suits watching him from behind.
The butler smiled very gently and waved to Su Qianqian.
Su Qianqian: ...
...
After finishing his homework, Jiang Cuo couldn't stay in his room any longer.
Then she heard a familiar barking sound, and the little one was pawing at her doorway. It wagged its tail with an adorable, bewildered expression, its eyes seeming to be waiting for a walk.
Jiang Cuo got up out of boredom and put a rope around the little one's neck.
For some reason, they ended up in front of Su Qianqian's villa.
Jiang Cuo saw Su Qianqian sitting in a car just as she got home.
There was another person sitting inside the blacked-out car window, who looked like a young and beautiful girl.
The little dog barked excitedly in Su Qianqian's direction.
Jiang Cuo felt a chill run down his spine. He silently tugged at the leash around the little dog's neck, as if deliberately trying to discourage the little dog from being so proactive. Then, in a low, menacing tone, he spoke as if scaring a puppy.
"Your mom has a new love interest; she doesn't want you anymore."
The little one seemed to understand, tilting its head and whimpering as if it were arguing with Jiang Cuo.
Hey mom, why are you scaring the dog?
When Su Qianqian got out of the car, she could already feel the cold air enveloping her.
And there were eyes staring at her like icicles.
Su Qianqian's neck stiffened instantly, as if someone had taken her lifeline, and even her hand that was closing the car door became stiff.
Turning around, she saw Jiang Cuo, holding the little one's hand, standing not far from the gate, quietly watching her.
Knowing she was not likable, Su Lian intentionally tried to minimize her presence. After getting out of the car, she quietly moved behind Su Qianqian, keeping her head down.
Following Jiang Cuo's gaze, Su Qianqian glanced back at Su Lian, who was looking down, and a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart.
Holding the little one's hand, Jiang Cuo looks like the empress who has caught her husband bringing back a little white flower.
And why does the little one look a bit wilted?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Su Qianqian got goosebumps all over her body and quickly touched her arm to calm herself down.
She's thinking about something strange.
Jiang Cuo is the only clueless villain in a world obsessed with love. It's not surprising that anyone would identify with this kind of plot. Identifying with Jiang Cuo is both the most impossible and the most terrifying.
Jiang Cuo was definitely angry because Su Lian had harmed her and she had gotten together with Su Lian, and that Su Lian was angry that Jiang Cuo didn't take sides.
After all, doing this would indeed put one in a difficult position, pleasing neither side.
Su Qianqian wanted to go up and talk to Jiang Cuo, but the diary in her arms almost fell out. Su Qianqian immediately caught it with her hand, and when she looked up, Jiang Cuo had already left with the little one.
Su Qianqian was embarrassed and subconsciously touched her nose.
Turning around, she saw Su Lian looking at her timidly with her eyes raised. For a moment, Su Qianqian wanted to get angry, but couldn't find an outlet for her anger.
[Useless System: Congratulations, host, for completing the plot milestone task. Please carefully read the contents of the diary Su Lian gave you.]
When the housekeeper saw that Su Qianqian had brought Su Lian back, although he did not approve of it, he would not interfere with any of Su Qianqian's decisions.
Su Qianqian was very satisfied with the housekeeper's reaction to the matter.
When Su Lian saw Su Qianqian walking into the villa, she immediately followed with quick, small steps, then tugged at Su Qianqian's sleeve and softly called out, "Sister."
Su Qianqian immediately turned around and pulled her clothes back from Su Lian's hand. "Okay, okay, don't try that on me. I know you're the best at changing your expression. I brought you back because I had reasons and difficulties. Behave yourself in my territory and don't mess with Jiang Cuo."
Did you hear me? Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble.
