Chapter 768 Scumbag Dad

"I don't want to." Sui Sui refused completely. "When I grow up, I will give Mommy something better."

"You can decide for yourself whether you want to or not," Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly. "If you really don't like it, just throw it away."

Sui Sui: "..."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Lin Bei: "..."

They both looked at the pile of things at the same time.

Sui Sui didn't know the value of those things, but she knew that her father wanted to make up for the gifts her mother gave her, so they must be world-class treasures. How could he just throw them away like that? How wasteful!

"Where does the young master plan to throw it?" Lin Bei asked. "I'll throw it with you."

Assistant Jiang: "Young Master threw it away, and you picked it up right afterward, is that it?"

Lin Bei: "Rather than letting it fall into the hands of those who don't know its value, I'd rather keep it as a family heirloom or something."

Jiang's assistant: "That makes sense."

Sui Sui: "?"

Assistant Jiang joined in, asking, "Where does the young master plan to throw it?"

“It’s okay, just throw it away.” Mo Mo spoke up, much more serious than the two of them. “I’ll help you dispose of all of this as unrecognizable trash.”

Assistant Jiang: "..."

Lin Bei: "..."

The two of them subconsciously looked at Huo Zhizhou.

The latter didn't say anything, he just kept looking at Sui Sui.

Lin Bei was extremely anxious. The thought that these items, worth at least seven or eight figures, would be treated as garbage made his heart bleed.

"I won't throw it away," Sui Sui replied.

Mo Mo didn't participate in the decision-making process, only supporting her boss and his family: "Okay."

Sui Sui: "Uncle Mo Mo."

Mo Mo: "Go ahead."

Looking at the pile of things, Sui Sui had an idea: "Could you help me sell these?"

Mo Mo paused.

Sell?

"Sell them at market price," Sui Sui said directly, her little mind working quickly. "Those that are priced but not available will be auctioned off."

Mo Mo didn't agree immediately, saying directly, "I need to report this to the boss."

Sui Sui: "Okay."

Mo Mo immediately called Jiang Ruan.

He gave a brief summary of what happened here.

Only at the end did he tell Sui Sui that he wanted to sell the things.

"Listen to him." Jiang Ruan wouldn't interfere much in these matters. Huo Zhizhou really had nowhere to put those things if he didn't take them back, and Sui Sui's method was the best solution at the moment. "Just cooperate with him."

"Okay." Mo Mo hung up the phone and informed Sui Sui of the result, "The boss said it's acceptable."

Every year brings its own surprises.

As long as he doesn't take the items back to his mother, she generally won't interfere with his decisions.

"What do you plan to do after you sell it?" Huo Zhizhou looked at him, wanting to see his plans and ideas.

"I'm not telling you." Sui Sui complained to him, "You just need to know that from now on, I'll prepare everything Mommy wears and uses, she doesn't need you!"

Huo Zhizhou looked at him leisurely: "Planning to invest and make money?"

Sui Sui did not answer.

But that's what I really thought.

Since arriving in Haicheng, he occasionally spends time with his mother, helping her learn new knowledge and skills. Perhaps because he has heard so much, he has gradually come to understand many things.

In addition, with his mother's deliberate guidance and the teachings of his maternal grandparents and great-grandparents, he has a clear understanding of many things and is confident that he can use this money to make more money.

"Do you have a plan?" Huo Zhizhou asked again.

"It's none of your business." Sui Sui was still angry with him.

"I will spend my whole life apologizing to your mother, and I will spend my whole life making up for the harm I caused her in the past," Huo Zhizhou said earnestly, "with you as a witness."

I'm still angry every year.

He knew that his father had changed, and that his father would not be the same as before.

But he was still angry.

He always thought his father was different from others.

His parents are the most loving people in the world; they care about each other and are considerate of one another.

But he said those things to his mother.

How heartbroken Mommy must have been back then.

"Besides that incident, what other things have you done to hurt Mommy?" Sui Sui stared at him.

“There’s a lot more.” Huo Zhizhou didn’t deny it. Honesty is another lesson to teach children. “If you want to know, I’ll tell you slowly after you’ve dealt with all this.”

Sui Sui: "You're not lying to me?"

Huo Zhizhou: "I'm not lying."

I think every year.

Thinking about the past, Huo Zhizhou felt a surge of guilt and remorse in his heart, so much so that his voice became low and hoarse when he spoke: "I just don't know if you can bear to hear the whole thing."

"Did you think about that back then?" Sui Sui never uses honorifics when she's angry.

Huo Zhizhou: "What?"

Sui Sui looked into his eyes: "Back then, did you consider whether Mommy could bear the hurt you caused?"

I worry that he won't be able to handle hearing that.

But Mommy experienced it firsthand.

Mommy still loves him.

Huo Zhizhou did not answer.

At that time, what he wanted was for Ruan Ruan to give in and back down because she couldn't take it anymore.

"Are you particularly regretful?" Sui Sui asked.

"I've regretted it for a long time," Huo Zhizhou said frankly. "Isn't this what I'm trying to do to make up for it?"

Sui Sui turned her face away, not wanting to look at him.

"Don't follow your father's example in the future, and don't act impulsively." Huo Zhizhou pinched his cheek, his eyes serious. "Think thrice before you act, and learn to respect everything around you."

“I know without you telling me,” Sui Sui said directly. “Mommy and Grandma have already taught me all of this.”

Huo Zhizhou's eyes softened: "That's good."

As long as it doesn't affect Sui Sui, it's fine.

He will do his best to make up for the rest.

One or two days.

One month, two months.

Or perhaps a year, a lifetime—he can take his time.

"What should we eat for lunch?" Sui Sui asked.

Huo Zhizhou: "?"

Everyone: ?

A hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.

It seemed they hadn't expected the topic to change so quickly.

"What would you like to eat?" Huo Zhizhou was the first to respond, his voice gentle and his expression warm. "I'll have someone make it."

Sui Sui replied indifferently, "Anything is fine."

Huo Zhizhou: "Okay."

Sui Sui snorted and didn't intend to pay him any attention.

If it weren't for his mother telling him to keep an eye on his father and not to ruin her date with Aunt Su, he wouldn't want to stay with his scumbag father any longer.

"Your mommy told you to stay here?" Huo Zhizhou's voice suddenly rang out, his words like an electric shock to Sui Sui's heart, catching her off guard and making her stunned, as if she hadn't expected him to guess.

"Given your temper, you wouldn't stay for dinner when you're this angry." Huo Zhizhou was quick-witted and saw through many things at a glance. "Are you afraid I'll disturb your mother's date with Su Zhu?"

Sui Sui: "..."

Sometimes, a father being too smart isn't a good thing.

He stared at him: "How did you know?"

“It’s no secret,” Huo Zhizhou said.

"Are you investigating Mommy?" Sui Sui looked at him suspiciously. "Or are you spying on us?"

Huo Zhizhou: "No."

Sui Sui: "I don't believe it."

They don't have any spies there.

"Whether you believe it or not is your right." Huo Zhizhou reached out and took his small hand, changing the subject. "Dinner will be served in a little while. Let's go inside and sit for a while."

"I don't need you to hold my hand, I can walk by myself." Sui Sui avoided him and took small steps into the house.

He couldn't help but care.

These two were the people he loved most.

But his beloved father hurt his beloved mother in such a humiliating way. At that time, his mother was already unhappy because of his father's affair with that aunt, and his words were simply outrageous.
