The two stared at each other in silence.
The gloom in Song Lingshan's eyes gradually turned blood red, and she asked in a trembling voice.
"So, you'd rather die than cut ties with me, is that it?"
Su Luo was terrified inside, but she remained outwardly calm and collected.
"right……"
"Hahaha……"
Song Lingshan suddenly burst into a nervous laugh.
"..."
Su Luo pursed her lips and dared not utter another sound; she was terrified.
How scary, how scary!
Is he going to die here today?
No, what about my daughter?
She's only twelve years old. How will she live after she leaves me?
However, Song Lingshan had already started to go crazy, and a knife was already at her own neck.
Did he want to beg for mercy and pull her back to her senses from her breakdown?
That's too difficult. Once words are spoken, they're like spilled water—can they be taken back?
This was the moment when Su Luo was struggling with her decision.
Song Lingshan, tired of laughing, suddenly sheathed her golden knife and said with a smile.
"You can go now..."
"..."
Su Luo was bewildered, her body stiff, her legs feeling as heavy as if they were filled with cement.
Song Lingshan was clearly smiling, but her eyes were glistening with tears.
"Get out!"
Song Lingshan shouted.
Su Luo suddenly realized what was happening, "Fine, I'll get out!"
He slipped away from the office as fast as he could.
The door closed.
He then heard a loud noise coming from the office.
Song Lingshan kicked the coffee table over.
The glass coffee table shattered into pieces instantly, and the water glasses and fruit plate on it were all destroyed.
Song Lingshan still felt it wasn't enough; her anger had nowhere to go, and she felt like she was about to explode.
He pushed everything on the table onto the floor.
He stomped hard on the laptop worth tens of thousands of dollars, his heel piercing the screen.
Tired from walking, Song Lingshan glanced at the Nanjing lock lying next to the coffee cup not far away.
The Nanjing lock, now covered in diamonds, was soaked in brown coffee, losing its former luster and becoming so dirty it was almost nauseating.
Song Lingshan picked up the Nanjing lock as if possessed, and then vigorously wiped it with a tissue, trying to clean the coffee stains off the lock.
But it was all in vain; no matter how much I wiped it, it was never as shiny as before.
So dirty, so dirty.
It seemed to foreshadow that her relationship with Su Luo could never go back to what it was before.
As if all her strength had been drained, Song Lingshan collapsed to the ground.
...
Su Luo arrived home safely.
Su Jianni prepared a table full of food. Seeing that Su Luo seemed to have little appetite and looked preoccupied, she picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Su Luo's bowl, saying with concern.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Didn't you not have to work overtime today? You should be happy, so why is Dad so disappointed?
Su Luo paused, her hand holding the chopsticks trembling, and smiled apologetically.
"Nini, Daddy has something to tell you."
Su Jianni blinked, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That 100,000 yuan in savings is gone. Dad only has a little over 5,000 yuan left. I'm sorry, I don't have any money to buy you the BDJ doll accessories. We'll just have to wait a little longer, okay?"
He has to wait until next month's salary to earn this 5,000 yuan. The doll's accessories are not cheap, and he's afraid the two of them will go hungry if he buys them.
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay if we don't have it. I don't really need the accessories, Dad. I'm really okay. You don't need to apologize to me. Other kids' parents can't even afford to buy them a bare doll."
As Su Jianni spoke, she stood up, took Su Luo's hand, and said earnestly, "Dad, don't be like this. You always feel like you owe me something, but you've been so good to me. I'm already so happy!"
Feeling the warmth of her daughter's palm, Su Luo's eyes welled up with tears, and she said in a trembling voice, "Really?"
At that moment, he suddenly realized that being precocious is sometimes not a bad thing. Is this something a normal twelve-year-old child would say to his father?
So heartwarming, so comforting, so intense...
The next second, Su Luo's defenses were instantly broken.
Su Jiani said with a mischievous smile.
"Wow, is Dad going to cry from being so touched? Show me how you cry!"
"..."
Su Luo immediately stopped crying; it would ruin the atmosphere. She had just thought her daughter was an angel, but in less than three seconds, her true colors were revealed. Precociousness is indeed not a good thing!
This psychologist should be taken to see your daughter.
Su Jiani released his hand and changed the subject.
“Dad, I have a classmate who makes short videos online and has over 100,000 followers. She goes home and does live streams, earning several hundred yuan per stream. My classmate said that with my looks, earning several thousand yuan per stream wouldn’t be a problem. Should I start doing live streams too? That way, you won’t have so much pressure.”
Su Luo's face instantly darkened. He put down his chopsticks and said seriously.
"No way! If you dare to livestream, I'll confiscate your phone!"
Wow, what kind of people are my daughter's classmates? They're minors doing live streams, don't their parents care?
He knew all too well how chaotic the live streaming industry was; he used to be responsible for shooting short videos for the company's streamers.
The reason why those streamers receive such high tips is because they maintain relationships with the top spenders on the leaderboard.
It's not uncommon for couples to meet in person and establish illicit relationships.
How could he let his daughter do such a thing for money!
Su Jiani retorted, unconvinced.
"Why? My grades have always been excellent, I finish my homework quickly, and in my free time I read comics and play games. Wouldn't it be better to do some live streaming to earn some money?"
Su Luo was furious and felt a headache coming on.
“I said no and that’s final. Even if I end up begging or scavenging, I won’t let you do live streaming.”
"I'll figure out the money problem. You just focus on your studies, understand?"
Su Jiani became anxious and excited.
"But I don't want you to be so tired!"
She knew that her father had suffered a lot of grievances in order to support her, and was often bullied by his ex-girlfriend's boss, working overtime until all night.
She also had to get up early for work. Recently, when she went to Su Luo's room, she found that he had been smoking a lot lately, almost a pack a night.
If she can make money through live streaming, then her father can quit his job, leave that tyrannical woman, and find another one.
