"Wife..."
Su Luo reflexively left his seat and went to chase after him.
But Su Jianni grabbed her wrist, "Where are you going? If she wants to leave, just let her go!"
Su Luo hesitated.
"I……"
He still wanted to pursue Song Lingshan, but Song Lingshan was really angry. If he didn't go after her now, he would definitely be kneeling on a washboard when he got home.
Seeing Su Luo hesitate, Su Jianni's eyes reddened with grievance, and tears suddenly streamed down her face, making her look pitiful.
"You've been spending every day with her lately, have you cared about me at all? Didn't you say I treat you like my own daughter? You don't care about my dating life anymore? Do you even keep your word?"
It's over.
As everyone knows, Su Luo is most afraid of girls' tears.
Su Luo was completely at a loss when Su Jiani started crying. He didn't care if he had to kneel on a washboard when he got home; the most important thing right now was to stop Su Jiani from crying.
So he pressed Su Jiani into a seat and hurriedly picked up a tissue from the table to wipe her tears.
"Don't cry, Daddy won't leave. Honey, you're all grown up now, why are you still crying so easily? There are so many people watching, aren't you ashamed?"
Su Jiani cried even harder, gasping for breath.
"Who told you to make me angry? She was about to hit me just now, and you didn't help me at all, boohoo."
Su Luo sighed softly, saying helplessly.
"She didn't hit you, so of course I helped you. I stopped her, but what you said just now was really sharp. You really shouldn't have..."
Su Jiani interrupted him, saying with some distress.
"Ah! You're still taking her side? You don't care about me at all anymore, you've changed!"
Su Luo was in a real bind.
"No, how can you say that, Nini? If I didn't care about you, would I have stayed? I would have left with her just now!"
"You wanted to go with her, but I stopped you, sob sob..."
"No, it's not what you think. Please stop crying. If you keep crying, your makeup will be ruined and you won't be pretty anymore."
"You're lying, I wasn't wearing any makeup at all!"
...
Seeing this, Gu Xiaojiu stood awkwardly in place.
His face grew increasingly gloomy, and the light in his eyes vanished instantly.
Suddenly I felt like I'd become the clown.
The more joy I felt just now, the more pain I feel now.
A simp is just a simp; he can never rise to the top. Everything that just happened was just his pathetic illusion.
Su Luo coaxed Su Jiani for a while before Su Jiani calmed down.
At this moment, the waiter brought over the hamburgers and cola that Su Jiani and Gu Xiaojiu had just ordered and placed them steadily on the table.
Su Jiani cried so much that she lost her appetite and only wanted to drink something.
So he picked up the iced cola and took a big gulp.
Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Xiaojiu who was standing to the side with a frighteningly dark face, and asked calmly.
"Aren't you tired of standing for so long?"
"..."
Gu Xiaojiu remained silent, but pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Su Luo.
He really didn't know what to say, he just felt so much hatred, hatred for the womanizing scumbag in front of him who was dressed in a suit and looked respectable.
He felt that Su Luo was not worthy of being Su Jiani's father at all, and that he had character flaws.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Su Jianni sat next to Su Luo, completely at a loss for words.
She realized that the joke had gone a bit too far. She could sense that Su Luo was seriously scrutinizing Gu Xiaojiu, and that she really considered him her boyfriend.
Gu Xiaojiu's gaze towards Su Luo was full of hostility. In her memory, Gu Xiaojiu had always been very gentle, to an absurd degree. This was the first time she had ever seen someone look at her like that.
She never expected things to turn out this way; she had only lied to Su Luo on a whim.
If Su Luo were to say she was joking now, she would definitely be very angry.
No, she can't be honest with him yet.
Having no choice but to grit her teeth and continue the charade, Su Jianni took the initiative to speak up in order to end this farce as quickly as possible.
"Dad, do you approve of us dating?"
Su Luo turned his head and stared intently into Su Jiani's eyes, trying to find a loophole.
But Su Jianni is an actress after all, very talented, and has a sweet smile. She really doesn't seem to be lying; she really looks like a girl in love bringing her boyfriend to meet her parents, without any flaws.
Su Luo felt incredibly conflicted. Instead of immediately answering Su Jiani's question, she turned to Gu Xiaojiu and asked seriously.
How long have you been with your daughter?
Gu Xiaojiu originally didn't intend to be together at all. Today was the first time he had touched her hand, and he hadn't even had a chance to confess his feelings yet, so how could they possibly be together?
But sensing the murderous glint in Su Jiani's eyes, he could only say it against his will.
"One month."
Su Luo nodded slightly and continued.
"How long have you known each other? How did you meet?"
Gu Xiaojiu said with a smile.
"We've known each other for a long time, many years. Jia Ni and I were junior high school classmates."
Su Luo was drawn to Gu Xiaojiu's sincere smile.
This kid, he looks so damn good when he smiles! His eyes are curved, his pupils are amber, and he has two dimples. He looks completely different from when he wasn't smiling. He has such a sunny vibe.
No wonder my daughter chose him; he does have some good points.
Huh?
Wait a minute, Gu Xiaojiu was Nini's classmate in junior high school. Nini was always getting into trouble back then, and he was often called to school by Nini's homeroom teacher. He had met almost all the boys in the class.
I didn't see any particularly good-looking ones.
How come I have no recollection of him? Could it be that he wasn't fully developed before, but has grown up now?
"Oh, I really don't remember you. I only remember that you used to have someone named Long Aotian."
He remembered that Long Aotian had written a love letter to Nini, and the contents of that love letter were so outrageous that he still couldn't forget it.
Gu Xiaojiu said frankly.
“That’s my cousin.”
His cousin was only two months older than him, so they were the same age and in the same class.
The reason he fell in love with Su Jiani was largely due to his cousin. He didn't have a deep impression of Su Jiani at first because he was rather withdrawn and lived in his own little world, not caring about the people and things around him. His only good friend was his cousin.
My cousin later committed suicide.
When he went to the funeral, he secretly slipped into his cousin's room, hoping to steal something as a souvenir.
I found my cousin's diary, filled with his love for Su Jiani. He committed suicide because he wrote love letters to Su Jiani, which his parents found out and beat him severely. They called him a pervert for liking a bad person like Su Jiani.
He was so shocked that he took the notebook and then began to pay attention to Su Jiani.
At first, she was just curious as to why her cousin liked her, but over time, she became infatuated with him too.
