The man's single question was enough to make Su's mother tremble with fear; she was terrified of him.
Since marrying him, she hasn't had a single good day.
He spent his days at home indulging in drinking, gambling, and prostitution. Whenever he ran out of money, he would ask her for it.
If she can't come up with the money, they'll beat her up and then rummage through her belongings looking for it.
She only escaped her father's beatings after leaving the countryside and coming to Luzhou City, but on the condition that she had to send her salary home every month.
If she doesn't send her salary home, her father will come to Luzhou to find her.
Previously, Su's mother had saved every penny and sent her entire monthly salary home. Fortunately, her daughter was also capable and didn't need her to worry about her. At a young age, she was already working to pay for her tuition.
Later, Zhou Yi took a liking to her, and her life became even better.
Previously, to prevent Su's father from coming to Luzhou and disrupting her and her daughter's happy life, she would give him extra money whenever he asked for it, so that he could stay peacefully in his hometown.
This resulted in her having no savings in her account; all her savings had been spent on clothes and designer brands, for fear that one day her father would find out and take all her money.
But to my utter surprise, Zhou Yi has now confiscated all her designer brands. How am I going to survive now? Waaah...
"I'm talking to you!"
"Are you getting cocky? If you don't send your salary back today, I'll have to come to Luzhou City to collect it from you in person."
Seeing that Su's mother dared not answer him, Su's father threatened him with a violent look, a sneer of confidence curling at the corner of his mouth.
How could he not know that this mother and daughter feared him like a tiger?
They tried to escape, but no matter what they did, they couldn't escape his grasp.
He suffers from a violent mental illness, and killing him is not illegal.
Moreover, under the current law, as long as he does not agree, Su's mother cannot take the initiative to divorce him. She can only be tied to him for life, allowing him to beat, scold, and leech off her.
When Su's mother heard that he was coming to Lucheng, her body trembled involuntarily, and her pupils flashed with despair.
A playful smile appeared on Su's father's lips. He knew he had to give this mother and daughter a little intimidation from time to time, otherwise, they would get too big for their britches while enjoying their newfound wealth.
Only by constantly instilling fear in them will they be unable to escape one's control.
Seeing how frightened Su's mother looked, he knew he would definitely receive the money soon.
But the next second, he heard Su's mother say, "No, you can't come. I... I'm... because the newly appointed housekeeper wants to get rid of me, so she's been taking every opportunity to deduct all my salary."
"I only received 50 cents this month, and even my meals were deliberately made to be meager by the housekeeper."
"Really, I'm not lying to you..."
She also wanted to complain to Su's father that she had been living a life worse than a dog for the past month.
When Su's father heard that her entire salary for the month had been deducted, his face darkened instantly. Without listening to any of her explanations, he said, "Ha, you've been away from your hometown for a few years, and now you've gotten bolder."
"You dare to use such an excuse to fool me? Believe it or not! I'll buy a ticket and come up here tonight."
"Let me see if you're really poor or just pretending. You don't want to pay me and want to run off with some other guy, right? You think I'm a pushover!"
Su's mother explained in a panic and despair, but Su's father had already hung up the phone impatiently.
Su's mother's hands trembled as she held the phone. The thought of Su's father coming to Luzhou made her bones feel as if a layer of memories had been lifted, and she still felt a dull ache.
Meanwhile, just as Su's father hung up the phone, a middle-aged woman dressed in a sheer veil approached him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her voice was sweet and coquettish: "Brother Su~ You promised to buy me a car~"
“She told her friends half a month ago that Brother Su is the best to her and that he wants to buy her a car.”
"The sisters are all waiting to see the car that Brother Su bought for her."
"Then I'll drive Su-gege's car back and show those who bullied me what's what!"
"Let them know that Brother Su truly loves her."
Su's father was overjoyed by the woman calling him "brother" repeatedly, and the woman's body was pressed tightly against his, the soft and bouncy touch filling his triangular eyes with desire.
“Baby, of course your brother loves you very much.”
"Wait until your brother takes care of you first, then I'll go buy you a car tomorrow."
Knowing that men speak empty words when they are overcome with lust, the woman naturally refused to let her father touch her and playfully released her arms from his neck.
"They know you just want to cheat them, and then turn your back on them after you've taken advantage of them."
"They won't let you succeed so easily this time."
Su's father was so anxious that he almost knelt down in front of the woman and swore an oath, coaxing her in a low voice: "You've been with me for so long, when have I ever failed to buy you what I promised you?"
“My daughter is capable; she snagged a rich husband in the city. That old hag can’t make any money, but my daughter is rich.”
"I'll go to see her myself then. Even if she doesn't have any money, that rich guy will have to give me face and buy me a car."
"My darling, you are my precious little darling, let me cherish you."
When the woman heard that Su's father had made a vow and, in order to prove his sincerity, had even bought a train ticket to Luzhou in front of him, she nestled gently into his arms.

As dusk settles, the city lights begin to twinkle.
The nights in Luzhou are beautiful, and many people yearn to come here to see the city's dazzling lights and the city that never sleeps, to feel the breeze along the river, and to witness the unique romance of Luzhou.
Tonight might be the birthday of a main character in anime. Anime fans spent money to put up a huge light and shadow show on the entertainment building. The main character's face is displayed on all four sides of the building, and then reflected on the river by the lights on the shore, truly resembling a flower in a mirror and the moon's reflection in the water.
Shen Bingyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, intending to open it to breathe in some fresh air, but as soon as she lowered her eyes, she saw the anime characters opposite, the huge figures on the river, and the dense crowds along the riverbank.
She was staying in a high-rise hotel, but when she opened the window, she could still hear music playing and singing by people performing on the riverbank not far away.
She prefers quiet, and this was already noise to her. Just as she was about to close the window, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Shen Bingyan then sat down on the single sofa.
"Miss, the plane tickets for the beginning of the month have been purchased." After saying that, the bodyguard stared at Shen Bingyan uneasily.
If it weren't for the young lady's request not to be too ostentatious, he would have asked the Shen family to arrange a private plane to send her back immediately.
He had already bought the earliest first-class tickets back to Kyoto, but unfortunately he wouldn't be able to go until the beginning of the month.
He had been on edge all this time, and the closer it got to returning to the Shen family, the more afraid he was of making a mistake.
They were also afraid that the young lady might change her mind at the last minute.
Although the young lady spoke with absolute certainty this time, he had a bad feeling about it.
"good."
Seeing Shen Bingyan nod in agreement, the bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, Shen Bingyan took out her phone, seemingly wanting to make a call.
