Su Chongwen awkwardly pressed his lips together, his brows tightly knit.
Even though I also thought Su Chongwen’s words were the funniest joke I’ve heard all year.
But I still gave Zhang Shuying a look to stop him from laughing.
"You might not believe my words. After all, for so many years, I haven’t been able to protect you and your mother by your side." Su Chongwen extended his hand, icy and carrying the scent of decay, to caress my cheek.
All I could think about was him being tornted by pain on his sickbed until he scread.
Ironically, my family is particularly poor, unable to afford even painkillers.
All we could do was watch him wear a woman’s cheongsam, harming his own dignity to preserve his life.
Seeing him entangled in sickness, yet still consorting with the likes of Xuan Fanyin.
I let out a low breath and softly said, "I thought you’d never know, never know how my mom and I went days without eating, how everywhere we went people bullied us, how second uncle plotted against us."
"I’m sorry, Wanwan, my dear daughter. Dad’s back, and from now on, I’ll protect you and your mother well." Su Chongwen pulled tightly into his embrace.
A tear slipped from the corner of my eye, "I’m doing well now, nowhere needs your protection."
Perhaps the father-daughter sentint before was overly mushy.
On the side, Zhang Shuying’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground in shock.
"Maybe you don’t need it right now, but you can follow , let make ands for what I’ve lacked with you." Su Chongwen gently touched the back of my head, softly saying, "Wanwan, follow Dad in the future, okay?"
"Mm, sure, but not right now." I snuggled into his decayed-scented embrace, "Leaving suddenly isn’t good, I haven’t talked to Mom or Master. How about you tell how to find you, I’ll co find you after I settle so things."
"First, co with Dad, we’ll take your Mom with us, and later you can say goodbye to your Master." Su Chongwen pulled my hand, trying to take outside.
I looked up emotionlessly at Su Chongwen’s bloodless face, calculating what purpose he had in taking away.
Earlier, when I got close, I probed carefully; Su Chongwen himself had no real power.
All he relied on was the Rebirth Clothes, nourished by the spiritual power source from a famous master, which made him seem strong, but he was actually an empty shell.
Let alone Zhang Zidao or Yu Longting, even I could hit his weak spot randomly and defeat him.
Seeing that I was about to be taken, Zhang Shuying’s playful deanor vanished.
He blocked the doorway with his arm and laughed lightly, "Father-in-law, how can you take Wanwan without taking ?"
"Are you... Zhang Shuying?" Su Chongwen glanced at Zhang Shuying, his lips curled, and he grabbed Zhang Shuying’s arm, "Fine, as you wish, I’ll take you too."
At that mont, a carefree youthful voice ca from outside, "Isn’t my obedient disciple playing both ends against the middle, secretly in love with Zhang Shuying? First pleading with , then bringing food to this wretch."
"Didn’t I explain to you? There’s a reason behind Shuying’s patricide." Zhang Che said helplessly.
Zhang Zidao’s voice drew closer, turning cold, "Sothing happened, soone broke into the house and massacred everyone!! Oh dear, where did this pale-faced zombie co from?"
"Father-in-law, it’s a bit coincidental, you might not be able to take and Su Wan away today." Zhang Shuying shook his leg, smugly smiling.
Su Chongwen seemingly didn’t expect to face Zhang Zidao and Zhang Che directly.
He slowly released mine and Zhang Shuying’s wrists, strutted past Zhang Zidao and Zhang Che using the Seven Stars Celestial Mystery Step, "Let’s forget today, Wanwan, Dad will co to pick you and your mother up in three days."
