"This knife of mine isn't made of dough!"
Su Jianni didn't back down and stabbed directly at Song Lingshan's lower abdomen.
Song Lingshan dodged easily.
Just as Su Jiani was about to stab a second time.
Footsteps could be heard downstairs.
Su Jianni froze. Oh no, those footsteps sounded so familiar. It must be Su Luo's. She immediately stuffed the knife into her bag and pretended nothing had happened.
As expected, the person who came was Su Luo.
Su Jiani immediately threw herself into Su Luo's arms, tears streaming down her face, looking aggrieved.
"My sister is so fierce, I'm so scared..."
"???"
Song Lingshan was captivated by the young girl's amazing acting skills.
Didn't she just try to stab me to death with a knife? Why are you calling her fierce right off the bat?
How can someone so young know how to make tea?
Is there no justice or law anymore?
Su Luo naturally trusted Su Jiani more.
He stared coldly at Song Lingshan and warned her.
“Song Lingshan, I know you resent me, but if you have any problems, come at me. Don’t bully my daughter; she’s still a child.”
Su Jianni is his bottom line; he won't allow anyone to bully her, and Song Lingshan is no exception.
"..."
Song Lingshan's mind went blank for a moment, as if it were about to split open.
I'm so annoyed, so annoyed.
She stood in the hallway in high heels and waited for Su Luo all day. Finally, Su Luo arrived.
Su Luo actually spoke to him like that for such a young girl.
But when he thought about how he had misunderstood Su Luo first, he tried hard to suppress his anger and restrain himself.
"Su Luo, whether you believe me or not, I really didn't bully her. I came here to have a proper talk with you, not to cause you trouble."
"I feel like there's nothing more to talk about with you. I've already resigned. What more do you want from me?"
As Su Luo spoke, he picked up Su Jiani and walked towards the door, unlocking it with his key.
Song Lingshan grabbed his wrist, her cold eyes unusually pleading, and her tone softened considerably.
"I really didn't come here to argue with you, can I take a few minutes of your time?"
"Okay, wait for me a moment."
Su Luo escorted Su Jiani to the bedroom and told her not to come out.
Su Jianni held onto Su Luo's hand tightly, sniffing as she spoke.
"No, I'm afraid she'll bully you."
Su Luo smiled helplessly, "Silly girl, don't worry, this is our own home, she wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
"But I'm worried, she's really fierce."
"Listen to me, you're a big kid now, you can't throw tantrums anymore."
"Hmph, I'm ignoring you..."
Su Jiani angrily crawled under the covers.
Su Luo left the bedroom and closed the door tightly.
Seeing that the door was closed tightly, Su Jianni immediately crawled out from under the covers and pressed her ear against the crack in the door, as if she wanted to strain her ears to listen.
She was always ready; if Song Lingshan bullied Su Luo, she would rush out and fight her to the death.
Song Lingshan stood next to the sofa.
Su Luo noticed that her face was a little pale and her lips were a little chapped. When she held her wrist just now, it felt very cold. She must have been waiting for her for a long time and got cold.
So, he went to the kitchen, poured Song Lingshan a glass of hot water, and handed it to her.
"Please sit down."
Song Lingshan took the hot water and sat down in a corner of the sofa.
Su Luo sat down opposite her and quietly watched her.
For some reason, Su Luo felt that she seemed a little different from the last time they met.
Although she was still wearing an office lady suit, black stockings, and high heels, the oppressive feeling she exuded seemed to have lessened.
Perhaps you look a little haggard?
Song Lingshan drank two sips of hot water and felt a little warmer. She put down the water glass and slowly opened her mouth.
"You're not married, so your daughter is your brother's, right?"
"?!!"
Su Luo was shocked, never expecting Song Lingshan to find out so quickly. Hadn't he already told her that he had abandoned her because he liked someone else?
Seeing his reaction, Song Lingshan knew it was definitely true, and gave a bitter smile.
Why did you lie to me?
If he had told her sooner, she wouldn't have bullied him like that, and she wouldn't have been so upset.
"..."
Su Luo lowered her head and remained silent.
He's already taken that step—he resigned, he's decided to say goodbye to the past—there's no need to say anything more.
Song Lingshan continued to press for answers.
"Did you break up with me back then because you were afraid I wouldn't accept Su Jiani?"
The timing of her departure from the country coincided with the time of Su Luo's brother's death, leading her to speculate that Su Luo might have been afraid of being burdened by his brother's daughter.
Su Luo remained silent, her head bowed as low as it could go.
Song Lingshan remained silent for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice.
"If that's really the case, I don't think I can accept it right away. I'm afraid we won't get along well, but I will try my best to accept her."
Su Jiani was indeed different from the children she usually remembered, but she knew that Su Luo was so kind that he would never abandon Su Jiani for her sake. Since that was the case, she could only try to adapt to it.
Su Luo said helplessly, "You don't need to do this..."
Song Lingshan pursed her lips, her eyes reddening, and said solemnly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that before. I apologize."
Su Luo stared at her tear-filled eyes, and suddenly felt relieved of the grievances she had been holding in for some time. She smiled and said...
"It's okay, it's all in the past anyway."
Song Lingshan tilted her head slightly to stop her tears from falling, her voice hoarse.
"So, are you going back to work?"
She still couldn't let go of her pride and couldn't bring herself to tell Su Luo that she still loved him, or ask him if they could get back together and go back to how things were before.
This is the only way to subtly probe him.
Su Luo shook her head and said calmly.
"I'm not going back. I want a change of scenery."
"..."
Song Lingshan didn't respond further, sniffed, and stood up.
"Okay, take good care of yourself, it's getting cold."
"Um."
Su Luo didn't get up to see her off, but stood there, staring at the water glass she had just used, seemingly lost in thought.
