Chapter 147 The Son's Recognized Father, I Don't Want It to End
The first rays of morning sunlight, like a nimble sprite, quietly pierced through the thin window curtains and gently fell on Su Su's cheeks.
Su Su slowly woke up, feeling refreshed all over, as if she were gently enveloped from head to toe by the warm spring sun. Her drowsiness completely gone, she lazily stretched out a long yawn.
At that moment, every muscle and bone in my body emitted a pleasant "creak," like the low hum of an old wooden door opening and closing, exuding a sense of comfort.
Su Su casually smoothed her slightly disheveled hair, then lightly tapped her fingertips. Several faint lights emanated from her fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, the array hidden in the room quietly dissipated.
Without the support of spiritual energy, all the sounds from the outside world rushed in.
A series of rapid and loud knocks suddenly rang out, one after another, as if trying to shatter the door. The sudden noise startled Su Su, causing her to frown slightly.
She shuffled towards the door in her slippers, and the door slowly opened.
The first thing you see is Zuo Nanxing lying face down at the front door, her little body bobbing up and down, her chubby little hands clenched into fists, banging on the door with all her might, and calling out, "Grandpa and Grandma, save me!"
"Mom, Grandma and Grandpa are here to see us. Open the door quickly, and Xingxing is very hungry."
As soon as Zuo Nanxing saw Su Su, he immediately dropped what he was doing, blinked his big, watery eyes, pouted his little mouth, and pitifully started to play the victim, his soft, sweet voice carrying a deliberate tremor.
Su Su remained calm and composed, picking up her water glass from the table and taking a sip to moisten her throat. Her leisurely demeanor made it seem as if the noise outside had nothing to do with her.
After a moment, she strolled leisurely to the door and slowly opened it.
"Oh, Mom and Dad, what brings you here?" Su Su leaned against the door frame, her tone flat, her gaze sweeping over her parents indifferently.
"Come and see you. Why didn't you feed Xingxing last night? He was crying from hunger."
As soon as Su's mother entered the door, her brows furrowed into a deep frown. She looked at Zuo Nanxing with a pained expression, and while speaking, she didn't forget to reach out and poke Su Su's arm hard, as if scolding her for not being attentive enough.
Su Su's lips curled into a slight, cold smile. She pointed to the crumbs of snacks stuck to Zuo Nanxing's lips, then shifted her gaze to the messy floor littered with snack trash, raising an eyebrow as she said:
"Crying? Look at this, then talk to me again."
Having said that, he crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes growing increasingly cold.
"This... Oh dear! Children don't know any better! You're a grown adult, why are you still arguing with a child!"
A hint of unease flashed across Su's mother's face. She chuckled awkwardly twice, raised her hand, and patted Su Su's shoulder in a mock attempt to smooth things over.
"Of course I'll care. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know if someone brought in a murderer one day."
Su Su scoffed lightly, her words full of sarcasm, her eyes fixed on her parents as if trying to see through their inner thoughts.
"How can you talk like that, child!"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Su's mother's face. She pretended to be angry and glared at Su Su, then bent down to pick up Zuo Nanxing, gently stroking his head and coaxing him while muttering something.
“Since I’m getting married anyway, then take Zuo Nanxing back with you. I’m not really his mother! I can’t take care of him for the rest of my life.”
Su Su impatiently interrupted her mother, raising her chin slightly, revealing a resolute determination that brooked no refusal.
"You child, how can you talk like that..."
Su's mother hugged Zuo Nanxing tightly, extremely dissatisfied with Su Su's attitude, her displeasure written all over her face.
"I didn't say anything wrong. If there's nothing else, I'll go to work now!"
Su Su didn't want to waste any more words with them. She turned to the side, grabbed her bag, and quickly walked out of the house, leaving the three people inside looking at each other in bewilderment.
After Su Su left, Su's father and mother exchanged a glance, a calculating glint in their eyes.
Before long, he hurriedly contacted Zhang Dashu with Zuo Nanxing, found a quiet teahouse, and sat down in a private room.
Mrs. Su frowned, complaining with displeasure, "I should have married her off earlier. All these years of schooling have really made her stupid; she won't even listen to me anymore. You even said that more education is good, so it'll be easier to earn more money. Now look what's happened! She won't even take care of a child. She's definitely not my mother!"
"She's bad; she doesn't feed the stars."
Nestled in Su's mother's arms, Zuo Nanxing immediately poked her head out to agree with the complaint, her little face full of grievance, and she even sniffed seriously.
Have you bought her insurance yet?
Su's father coughed lightly. Although he felt a little regretful, he refused to back down, since Su Su still had "use value" to him.
"We've already bought it; all that's left is to contact Zhang Dashu. Are you sure he won't leak our plans?"
Su's mother leaned closer to Su's father and asked in a low voice, her eyes showing a hint of worry.
"Don't worry, he's my son. Besides, who would turn down money? Even if we had to take action, we wouldn't do it ourselves; let him do it."
Su's father crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if he had everything under control, but a sinister glint lurked in his eyes.
Having lived a life of luxury and ease for so many years, he had become accustomed to spending money recklessly behind Su Su's back. How could he bear to be brought back to his former self in one day?
Back then, a contract was signed in black and white, solemnly promising that when Su Su turned eighteen, those huge assets would be handed over to her securely.
That's no small sum; real estate, luxury cars, savings, jewelry—the total is astronomical, enough to tempt anyone to greed.
Su's parents were like that; driven by greed, they secretly bribed lawyers, attempting to alter contracts and seize the property.
Who would have thought that Su Su would grow up to be more opinionated and gradually break free from their control?
He was thinking of sending Zuo Nanxing to supervise her.
He's just a kid; he's more trouble than he's worth.
It seems Su Su still wants to get married.
Su's father gritted his teeth, thinking that rather than waiting to die, he might as well make a few more money now.
But things don't always go as planned, and everything went off track.
Zhang Dashu arrived as promised, a strange smile on his face as soon as he stepped into the private room.
The next second, he suddenly drew a sharp blade hidden behind his back, and with a flash of cold light, he slashed straight at them.
In an instant, screams erupted from the private room. Su's mother turned pale with fright, and Zuo Nanxing burst into tears, her cries so loud they hurt the eardrums.
Su's father, being more experienced, was the first to regain his senses. In his anxiety, he pushed Su's mother away without thinking, completely ignoring Zuo Nanxing's pitiful cries.
He then turned and ran wildly toward the door, his steps frantic and unsteady, his only thought being to escape this deadly place.
However, fate's scythe ruthlessly swung down, and just a few steps away from the door, his legs seemed to have been stripped of their tendons and bones, and he uncontrollably collapsed to his knees with a thud.
Before he could even struggle to his feet, a cold, sharp blade, carrying the scent of death, whistled towards him, and a sharp pain shot through his neck.
Immediately afterwards, he felt his head slam heavily onto the ground, and his consciousness vanished instantly.
At that time, Su Su, who was preparing to resign, received a call from the police.
The serious voice on the other end of the phone was like a thunderclap:
Su's father, Su's mother, and Zuo Nanxing were brutally murdered by a man who stabbed each of them at least 108 times. The murderer committed suicide after the crime, also giving himself a 108-stab package.
"So ruthless!" Su Su gasped.
Su Su's hand trembled, almost dropping her phone. Her eyes instantly filled with tears, her face filled with shock and disbelief. She ran to the police station.
As luck would have it, the original owner was wholeheartedly devoted to his family's health and spent his own money every year to carefully purchase insurance for each member of his family.
At first, Su's mother was very unhappy, grumbling that it was a waste of money, and even felt that buying insurance was unlucky, as if she was cursing something to happen to her. It was only after her older sister Su Yi coaxed and persuaded her that she calmed down.
Now, this wasted money has actually come in handy.
After completing the claims process, Su Su tearfully accepted a large sum of money in compensation.
Subsequent police investigations uncovered a shocking truth: it turned out that Su's parents had secretly colluded with Zhang Dashu to plot against their adopted daughter, Su Su, in an attempt to gain more money. However, their cunning backfired, and they were all taken down by Zhang Dashu, the "helper" they had brought in.
Knowing the truth, Su Su was so shocked that she stood there dumbfounded. She even simplified the funeral arrangements, choosing the cheapest funeral package for the body. Seeing her grief-stricken face, the bystanders remained silent.
After the storm subsided, Su Su completely severed ties with the past, resolutely quit her job, and with the insurance payout and the remaining money left by her birth mother, she began a new life of unrestrained extravagance and freedom.
As for Su's parents, Zuo Nanxing, and Zhang Dashu, perhaps they were reincarnated in some pool, repeatedly becoming maggots with their memories intact!
What a loving family they are!
