"Shh..."

"Your dad's back..."

The mother and daughter quickly stopped their conversation and changed the subject to something related to Su Yunian's studies.

When the scumbag Su Jingang was outside the door, his face was still stern.

He put on a smiling face as soon as he entered the door.

Upon seeing the mother and daughter, he immediately took off his clothes and changed his shoes.

He asked cheerfully, "Oh dear, Yu Nian hasn't taken her afternoon nap yet? You haven't seen your dad for several days, do you miss him?"

Su Yunian suppressed all her disgust and nodded obediently as usual.

"Hmm, I've been thinking about it. Dad, are you tired from your business trip these past few days?"

Su Jingang laughed heartily, "She's still my little darling! Every time Dad goes on a business trip, she asks if Dad is tired. I'm so lucky!"

Su Yunian maintained a smile on her face, but inside she was seething with hatred.

If you truly thought I was good and happy, you wouldn't have cheated on me and my mother with a mistress.

What kind of sweetheart am I, Su Yunian?

Zhao Feifei is your best little darling!

Tsk tsk tsk!

Zhao Jinxuan is the rightful heir to your family fortune.

Your family is the only truly warm and loving family of four.

This is your teahouse hotel!

Su Yunian felt intense hatred in her heart, hatred that reached its extreme.

But on the surface, she still pretended to be very happy. When Su Jingang opened his arms to ask for a hug, Su Yunian went over and hugged her father as usual.

Su Jingang put his hand into the inside pocket of his bespoke suit, felt around, and pulled out a red box.

"Ta-da! What's this?"

Su Jingang deliberately teased Su Yinian.

Normally, Su Jingang would bring gifts for Su Yunian and Xie Qing every time he returned from a business trip.

At that time, Su Yunian felt that she was the happiest child in the world.

Su Yunian snatched the box, opened it, and saw that it contained a pearl bracelet.

She quickly and happily said, "Thank you, Dad. Dad is the best!"

After giving the gift to Su Yunian, Su Jingang turned his gaze to his wife Xie Qing, who was standing next to him.

Xie Qing also pretended to greet him warmly, like a lively and lovely young girl, and hugged her husband tightly.

She said sweetly, "Honey, I've missed you so much these past few days while you were away."

Su Jingang quickly put his arm around Xie Qing's waist and said, "Wife, I also have a gift for you."

Su Jingang then took out a box from the inside pocket of his suit.

It's also red.

Xie Qing pretended to be very surprised.

He took the box from Su Jingang.

Upon opening it, I found it was the same pearl bracelet as Su Yunian's.

"Honey, you're so good to me!" Xie Qing said shyly.

After chatting for a while, Xie Qing personally cooked lunch for Su Jingang.

Su Jingang asked in surprise, "Wife, why are you cooking by yourself? Where is Aunt Liang?"

Xie Qing said while busy in the kitchen, "Aunt Liang's youngest son is getting married, so I gave her three days off. Aunt Liang is quite old..."

She's spent her whole life working hard for her youngest son, and his wedding is a major event for the family, so I told her to relax for a few days and prepare properly.

"Honey, you're so understanding. Since no one's home these past few days, should we hire a housekeeper?"

Xie Qing shook her head: "It's okay, Aunt Liang will be back the day after tomorrow, and there's nothing to do these next few days."

The food was served, and Su Jingang sat down to eat.

In fact, he had already eaten with Zhao Min outside; he was just putting on an act when he got home.

In order not to disturb her mother's plans, Su Yunian went upstairs to take a nap.

While Su Jingang was eating, Xie Qing, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "Honey, I want to go back to work."

"Cough cough cough..." Xie Qing's words startled Su Jingang, who thought she had discovered something. "Honey, why do you want to go to work all of a sudden?"

Xie Qing rested her head on Su Jingang's shoulder and said coquettishly:

“Honey, I’ve been so bored at home these past few years, and I’m tired of going out to play. I suddenly feel like I’m worthless and almost out of touch with society, so I want to go back to work. Can you arrange a position for me?”

“Wife,” Su Jingang tried his best to persuade, “I think you’re doing great. You can sleep in every day, go wherever you want, and don’t have to worry about anything.”

"No, honey, I really want to go back to work. Can you arrange a position for me in our company? Or how about I become a manager? Or be your secretary?"

Su Jingang was somewhat displeased.

Suppressing his unpleasant emotions, he looked at Xie Qing with a puzzled expression.

"Honey, didn't you say that I would be responsible for earning money to support the family, and you would be responsible for being beautiful? Why do you suddenly not understand? Honey, look, Yu Nian is in the most crucial period of her senior year of high school. I think it's better for you to stay home and take care of her."

Xie Qing had long anticipated that Su Jingang would say that.

He shoved Su Jingang and said angrily:

"Su Jingang, you keep preventing me from going to work. Do you think I'm useless and incompetent, that I've become a haggard old woman and I'm not presentable enough to be seen with? You just look down on me!"

"I don't care, you have to agree to go to work today, or I'll go to the company and cause a scene!"

Su Jingang was helpless and remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, he finally said, "Okay, I'll assign you a position."

Xie Qing quickly turned her anger into laughter, wrapped her arms around Su Jingang's neck, and kissed him hard on the face several times.

...

Lu Chi woke up from his afternoon nap

I just quickly washed my face and brushed my teeth.

I stomped down the stairs, carrying my schoolbag, ready to go to school.
