The cashier quickly swiped the card and, seeing Su Luo in a daze, whispered a reminder.
"Sir, that's fine. Please keep your card safe."
Su Luo then came to her senses, hurriedly put away her card, and quickly walked into the store, pulling Su Jiani along as she tried to leave as fast as possible.
Just as I was about to leave the store, I felt a weight on my shoulder.
Su Luo turned her head blankly, her pupils slightly contracting.
I haven't seen Song Lingshan for half a month. She seems to have lost some weight, and even with makeup on, she looks a bit haggard.
Her slightly wavy long hair was casually tied behind her ears.
She was wearing a black wool coat and high boots.
Standing behind her was a girl who was just as tall as Song Lingshan, wearing the same coat, only in a brown color.
The girl's features bore a resemblance to Song Lingshan's, and her long, flowing black hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders. Her demeanor was completely different from Song Lingshan's; she didn't possess Song Lingshan's aloofness.
But he was no ordinary person; his dark, sharp eyes seemed to be able to see right through people's hearts, and a playful smile hung on his face.
Su Luo felt a chill run down her spine. This must be Song Lingshan's younger sister who has been living abroad. But she looks quite different from what Song Lingshan described before.
According to Song Lingshan, her younger sister was an innocent and naive child.
He dared not speak, not knowing what to say. He was already afraid of Song Lingshan, and now with the addition of his terrifying younger sister who looked at him with a cold smile, he was even more frightened.
Song Lingshan spoke first, her face expressionless.
"You dropped your wallet!"
"Oh, thank you."
Su Luo stiffly bent down and picked up the wallet.
Seeing Su Luo's trembling appearance, Su Jianni was furious. They had broken up for so long, why was she still so afraid of her?
She gripped Su Luo's sleeve tightly and looked at Song Lingshan, who greeted her with a smile.
"Auntie, it's been so long! You seem to have gotten younger. Have you started dating someone?"
"..."
Song Lingshan's face began to turn ugly, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
That brat, his mouth is still so sharp.
She's been having trouble sleeping lately and looks terrible. She's not going to look younger at all. Su Luo has already broken off their relationship, so why would she date again?
That little rascal really knows how to hit her where it hurts.
But since the other person was a child, she couldn't argue with her; that would make her seem too uncouth.
Song Lingshan is tolerant.
Unable to contain herself, Song Qiluo smiled and looked at the somewhat smug Su Jiani, then retorted mercilessly.
"When adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt!"
"?!?!"
A simple sentence instantly broke Su Jiani's defenses.
Her face flushed red, she clenched her fists, and bit her lip hard.
I'm so angry!
Who is this woman? Why is she so sharp-tongued?
She hates being treated like a child, especially in front of Su Luo. This is her weakness. No matter how mature she is, she can't change the fact that she is only twelve years old.
She shook Su Luo's sleeve, looking aggrieved.
"Dad, look at her..."
Su Luo: "..."
Being caught in the middle of three people is the hardest thing to do.
One is his own daughter, another is the domineering ex-girlfriend he finally managed to get rid of, and the third is his ex-girlfriend's sister whom he is meeting for the first time.
To be honest, he can't afford to offend any of them.
In order to prevent the relationship between the three from deteriorating further, Su Luo chose to ignore Su Jiani's words. After all, he had just taken the initiative to start the conversation, so he gritted his teeth and explained to Song Lingshan.
"I...I brought my daughter to buy some things..."
After saying that, he felt a little awkward, since no one had asked him.
"..."
Song Lingshan was speechless. She gave him a deep look and didn't want to talk to him.
He turned and walked into the jewelry store.
Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly fled with Su Jiani in her arms.
In the coffee shop across the street, Lu Xi put away his phone and started texting Ozawa Nami with a picture attached.
Nami Ozawa was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV when she picked up her vibrating phone from the coffee table, opened WeChat, and started chatting with Lu Xi.
Lu Xi: I saw your boyfriend and Song Lingshan.
Ozawa Nami's heart skipped a beat. She clicked on the picture below the message, zoomed in, and her pupils dilated slightly.
There are four people in the picture: the Song sisters and the Su father and daughter.
Su Luo and Song Lingshan stood facing each other, very close, and it was unclear what they were saying to each other.
Su Luo's gaze towards Song Lingshan was complex, containing surprise, fear, guilt, admiration, and even a hint of barely perceptible heartache, but no disgust or rejection.
Ozawa Nami stared at the photo for a long time, her palms holding the phone began to sweat, and a feeling of bitterness welled up inside her. She took a deep breath, tried to keep herself calm, and typed a line of text.
What did they say?
Lu Xi: "I was a bit far away and couldn't hear clearly, but they only said a few words before parting ways. I think you should take Su Luo to Tokyo as soon as possible. I feel like he hasn't completely let go of her yet..."
Nami Ozawa sniffed and replied.
"I understand, thank you."
Put down your phone.
Nami Ozawa had no interest in watching TV anymore. She turned it off with the remote, lay back on the sofa, silently lit a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and stared at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, taking small puffs.
Thick white fog slowly dissipated before my eyes.
Nami Ozawa narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her hand to press on her aching heart.
I feel a little unwell.
No, not just a little, it's a lot, it's very uncomfortable.
She told Su Luo that it didn't matter if he still had feelings for Song Lingshan; she would try her best to make him forget her.
She had been working hard during this time, and Su Luo hadn't mentioned Song Lingshan again.
She thought Su Luo would gradually let go of Song Lingshan, but the way Su Luo looked at Song Lingshan in the photo just now showed that she hadn't let go at all.
He only temporarily put Song Lingshan aside out of a sense of responsibility to himself, keeping her frozen in the deepest part of his heart. Even if he didn't mention it, the look in his eyes when he loved her was impossible to hide.
At first, she thought she was magnanimous enough and confident enough to gradually drive Song Lingshan out of Su Luo's heart.
But now she's starting to get scared. She's afraid that in the two weeks or so that Su Luo will accompany her to Tokyo, he and Song Lingshan will rekindle their old flame and get back together.
But it seems she can't get Su Luo to go to Tokyo with her right now. They had already discussed it before, and it was already quite difficult for Su Luo to agree to accompany her to Tokyo to visit relatives.
what to do?
Are we just going to wait passively like this?
No, this won't do. She doesn't like this passive feeling.
...
Inside the jewelry store.
Several tellers greeted Song Lingshan and Song Qiluo respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. Song. Hello, Miss Song."
Song Lingshan nodded slightly and asked.
What did my friend just buy?
The teller immediately understood that the friend Mr. Song mentioned must be the handsome young man with his daughter who had just spoken to her, and she said frankly.
"I bought a six-pointed star gemstone ring."
