After breakfast, on the way to the prison, Su Yu was quite silent.

At this moment, his feelings toward Su Changcheng were very complicated.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the prison gate.

After Su Yan registered her information, a prison staff member said, "Visiting time is only half an hour."

Su Yan and Su Yu were led to a room to wait.

The middle of the room was built with a half-height wall, the upper half of which was made of iron bars. The environment was very bad, and it smelled musty.

A short while later, Su Changcheng was brought in by the staff and stood opposite them.

Upon entering the house, Su Changcheng still had his head down, his clothes were a mess, and flies were buzzing around him. He didn't care at all who had come to visit him.

Su Yu looked at him through the iron bars, feeling complicated and distressed.

After a long silence, he finally pursed his lips and called out, "Father."

Su Changcheng swayed, then suddenly looked up.

Upon seeing that handsome, familiar face, he widened his eyes in disbelief and stammered, "A-A-Yu?! You're A-Yu?! Weren't you dead?! Weren't you dead?!"

He even suspected that he was getting presbyopia, so he hurriedly raised his hand to rub his eyes and stared at the opposite side again. Su Yu was still standing there in a stiff posture.

"How could this be..." He took a step back, looking incredulous.

Life in prison was very hard. In just over ten days, Su Changcheng's hair turned completely white, and he looked more than ten years older, with his back becoming hunched.

There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

Su Yan's complicated feelings lasted only a second before she regained her composure.

If Su Changcheng hadn't repeatedly harmed her own daughter for the sake of outsiders, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Su Changcheng's first reaction to the news that Su Yu was still alive was not joy, but disbelief.

After feeling upset, Su Yu gradually became disappointed.

He asked casually, "Father, aren't you happy that I'm still alive?"

"Impossible! How could you still be alive?!"

Su Changcheng suddenly lost control of his emotions, rushed forward, grabbed the iron bar, glared at Su Yu with bloodshot eyes, and gritted his teeth as he said, "Su Yu died five years ago! You're a monster! Did Su Yan pay you to scare me?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Yan and said sarcastically, "Let me tell you, don't think that just because you've become successful I'll value you! Everything you have should belong to Su Zhi! How come your quiet, reserved personality has suddenly changed?"

"You must be possessed by a ghost! You've drained the Su family's luck and stolen Su Zhi's things! You two are ghosts, not my children. Su Zhi is my child. I'll give him all your things, and when he's successful, he'll be filial to me, hahahahaha..."

He took a few steps back, threw his head back, and burst into maniacal laughter, as if he had gone mad!

Su Yu had originally held a sliver of hope for his father.

But now, he was so angry his face turned black!

His gaze was fixed on the aged figure. He clenched his fists, suppressing his anger, and said with restraint, "In the past five years, I have been on secret missions. I have indeed almost died on several missions, but I wanted to live because I couldn't bear to leave my family, so I came back alive."

I thought you would treat Mother and Ayan well, but I never expected you to collude with outsiders to bully them. I don't know if you chose to feign madness because you were ashamed to face me, but I still want to say that you have disappointed me greatly! After today, I will not come to see you again, unless... at your funeral. You'd better take care of yourself.”

After saying that, Su Yu left the visiting room without looking back.

Su Yan didn't leave, but quietly watched Su Changcheng laughing maniacally.

Less than half a minute after Su Yu left, Su Changcheng's laughter suddenly stopped.

He turned his head, revealing a face streaked with tears.

Seeing that Su Yan was still there, he froze, but the tears in his eyes flowed even more profusely.

Su Yan finally understood. She smiled faintly and said, "My brother forgot to tell you that he is now a political commissar. His superiors value him highly. My brother has a bright future, and our family's life is getting better and better."

After today, we'll move to Beijing. The next time we meet will probably be at your funeral. You hate me to the core, don't you? It doesn't matter. If I hadn't done this, it would probably be my mother and me who ended up like you. You think I'm ruthless, but when you harmed your own daughter for the sake of the Su family, for your nephew Su Zhi, did you ever consider my life or death? I'm not saying this to boast, but simply to make you spend the rest of your days in regret.”

She glanced one last time at Su Changcheng, who lay slumped on the ground, looking utterly defeated, before stepping away from the visiting room.

Su Changcheng never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. Instead, he was like a vampire, constantly trying to drain the original owner of the body. No matter how well she did, he didn't care because he looked down on women from the bottom of his heart.

Even if he regrets it now, it's only because Su Yu is still alive and has become a high-ranking official. He only regrets not being able to enjoy such glory and life. He is not genuinely happy that his son is still alive.

Su Changcheng appears weak and blindly filial, but in reality, he has inherited the selfishness of his father and mother to the extreme. He prioritizes his own face and vanity in everything he does throughout his life.

After being released from prison, her mind was as calm as a lake.

Su Yu leaned against the door, exuding a dejected aura. He looked up at her, his voice hoarse, "Why did it take you so long to come out? What did you say to him?"

"It's nothing," Su Yan said calmly. "I made a few sarcastic remarks to him. Brother won't blame me, will he?"

Su Yu glared at her and said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Yan shrugged and spread her hands innocently, "If you don't blame me, then why are you upset? Brother, don't be sad for someone who isn't worth it. In the end, you'll only hurt yourself."

"You little brat, how can you be so heartless at such a young age?"

Looking at his sister's calm demeanor, Su Yu couldn't help but admire her. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had lived most of her life and seen through everything.

"Then you've misunderstood me. I'm just heartless towards things I don't care about. If you treated me like that, I would break down and cry, and then take revenge on you so badly that it would be worse than going to jail!" Su Yan sneered.

Su Yu's lips twitched, and he deliberately ruffled her hair, "You dare to say anything!"

Su Yan slapped his hand away. "If I don't say these things, you'll stay unhappy. I don't like your lifeless look. Are you feeling better now?"

Su Yu gave a light "hmm" and then changed the subject, "Let's go, let's go change that kid's bandage in the neighborhood."

Su Yan didn't say anything more.

Some things are better understood by oneself. Her brother will probably only be upset for a day or two and then he'll be fine.
