Soon, Su Jiancheng drove his car to pick up Su Xiaorou and bring her back to the town.
Naturally, she couldn't stay in the previous city anymore.
"Thank you, Dad."
Su Xiaorou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and looked at Su Jiancheng guiltily.
Su Jiancheng sighed heavily. "I hope you won't be so impulsive in the future."
Su Xiaorou nodded. "Don't worry, Dad. I won't be so impulsive in the future."
"Oh yeah, don't let him know about Tongtong. Otherwise, you won't have an easy time. He's someone we can't afford to offend."
Su Jiancheng's expression turned serious.
At the mention of that person, Su Xiaorou's nerves tensed up.
"But what if he says that he wants to see Tongtong? What excuse should I use to avoid him?"
When mentioning that person, Su Xiaorou's heart was filled with helplessness.
That's right. He was Tongtong's biological father.
He was Wu Liming, the head of a powerful force in Country C. Back then, Su Jiancheng's company had encountered a serious problem and almost went bankrupt. Wu Liming was the direct cause of it.
However, one time, Wu Liming accidentally found out about Su Xiaorou, so he made a request. As long as Su Xiaorou spent one night with him, he could save the Su family's company.
Su Jiancheng had no choice. He knew that Su Xiaorou wouldn't agree, so he got his daughter drunk and threw her on Wu Liming's bed.
Wu Liming achieved his goal and the company didn't go bankrupt.
However, from then on, Su Xiaorou started to hate men.
From then on, Su Xiaorou no longer had the respect a daughter had for her father. Instead, it was replaced by hatred.
Su Jiancheng had always felt guilty towards Su Xiaorou, so he had to get Su Xiaorou out of prison no matter the cost.
Su Xiaorou didn't expect to find out that she was pregnant a few months after she went back.
She originally wanted to abort the child, but the news was leaked to Wu Liming.
Wu Liming threatened Su Jiancheng to make Su Xiaorou give birth to that child.
During that time, Su Xiaorou was locked up at home and was not allowed to go out. She was only released after the child was born.
However, after Su Xiaorou gave birth to the child, she vented all the grievances she had suffered on the child. She never took good care of the child.
Su Xiaorou scolded and beat her as if she was not her own daughter. Until Tongtong was found to have leukemia, Su Xiaorou was actually glad.
Later, he accidentally bumped into Gong Mohan at a cocktail party. Su Xiaorou rekindled her love for Gong Mohan.
She felt that Gong Mohan was the only man in the world who was sincere to her. The others all had ulterior motives. That was why she wanted to start over with Gong Mohan. However, she didn't expect that Gong Mohan already had Gu Wan by his side.
The more it was like this, the more Su Xiaorou felt that Gong Mohan belonged to her. She couldn't let other women take advantage of him.
Fortunately, when she left, she had thought that if she regretted it one day, she would go back to look for Gong Mohan. Thus, she deliberately created a misunderstanding for Gong Mohan that something had happened between the two of them.
Who would have thought that he would be able to make use of that misunderstanding to get closer to Gong Mohan?
"I think with my current ability, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you." Su Jiancheng said.
After a pause, he comforted Su Xiaorou in front of her.
What else did Su Xiaorou want to say? In the end, she swallowed the punctuation marks.
She hoped that her father could protect her this time and not push her away.
"By the way, I heard that you took away Gong Mohan's son and daughter. Is that true?"
Su Xiaorou, who had just come out, knew nothing about what had happened outside. She only asked Su Jiancheng out of curiosity after hearing Cui Gu mention it.
Su Jiancheng nodded. "I just wanted them to hold a memorial for my grandson."
Su Xiaorou was slightly taken aback by Su Jiancheng's answer.
Su Jiancheng frowned. "It's a pity that our whereabouts were exposed and they caught up to us. That's why the girl was saved. Otherwise, I would have taken both children to hold a memorial for Tongtong."
Su Xiaorou asked, "Dad, you mean …"
"The boy has already fallen into the sea to hold a memorial for Tongtong. Tongtong won't be lonely over there."
Su Xiaorou understood Su Jiancheng's simple words.
She had to admit that even though Tongtong's father was Wu Liming, Su Jiancheng still quite liked that child. It was a pity that Tongtong's life was full of misfortune.
Or rather, he shouldn't have been born into this world.
Su Xiaorou, who was sitting at the side, gently clenched the corner of her shirt. After a long silence, she raised her head and looked at Su Jiancheng guiltily.
"Dad, I'm sorry. Tongtong ended up like this because of my selfishness and irresponsibility as a mother."
"Alright, it's not your fault." Su Jiancheng reached out to stop Su Xiaorou from continuing.
He added, "It was Gu Wan and Gong Mohan who caused this. I hope you can pull yourself together this time and avenge Tongtong."
Su Xiaorou was a little surprised by Su Jiancheng's words.
She put on a serious expression. "Dad, don't worry. Things between me and them won't end just like that."
Su Jiancheng nodded. "Alright, you just came back. Go get some rest."
Su Xiaorou nodded and left the living room.
Su Jiancheng fell into deep thought as he watched Su Xiaorou leave. There were many things that were inconvenient in this small town.
Even many of the company's affairs had to be decided by him through video calls.
He shook his head. Forget it. He would go back and take charge of the company after dealing with Gong Mohan and the others.
"Mohan, I just received news that Su Xiaorou has been sent back to Country C."
At the same time, Gong Mohan, who was taking care of Gu Wan, received a call from Xu Yang.
He frowned. "Is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely. I have a few friends working there and they told me the news. It's just a little late. Su Xiaorou should have arrived in Country C by now."
Xu Yang looked regretful. He did not expect that the vicious Su Xiaorou would not be punished by the law.
Although it was said that she would be sent back to Country C to be punished, everyone knew that Su Jiancheng might have been the mastermind behind all this. As long as Su Xiaorou returned to Country C, wouldn't she regain her freedom?
Gong Mohan
After a moment of silence, he said, "It's fine. I won't let her get away scot-free. However, I have to find the baby first. I don't have time to deal with these people for now."
Xu Yang replied, "Alright. I will send some people to Su Xiaorou's place."
Xu Yang then asked about the baby. Gong Mohan reminded him to take good care of the company before hanging up.
Meanwhile, on a small island in the waters of Country C.
"Dad, Brother hasn't woken up yet. Can he really be saved?" A seven or eight-year-old girl asked a middle-aged man dressed like a fisherman next to her with a worried look.
The middle-aged man wore a straw raincoat and held a straw hat in his hand. He looked at the boy lying on the bed and frowned, showing a look of pity.
"Since God asked me to save him, it must be God's will. He is still breathing at sea for so long. He should be fine. Go find Doctor Liu and ask him to come and take a look."
The little girl nodded and went to find the doctor according to her father's instructions.
A woman with a headscarf wrapped around her head was holding a bowl of hot soup in her calloused hands. She opened the curtain door and walked in. She handed the hot soup to the man and drank it in one gulp.
When she saw the boy lying on the bed, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect the little boy to be so handsome. As a boy, his skin was much better than Erya's.
Erya was the only girl in her family. She had been looking forward to having another boy, but she was afraid that she couldn't afford another one with her current livelihood.
The woman looked curious, "How did Erya's father find this child?"
"When I went fishing, I saw a plank floating on the water. There was something on the plank. I thought it might be a package from another ship that was swept away by the waves. When I got closer, I found a person. I was scared to death at that time.
Originally, I wanted to row the boat and leave as soon as possible, but then I changed my mind and decided to go back to see if the child was still alive or not. I didn't expect him to still be alive, but I ran into him and couldn't bear to leave him there, so I brought him back. "
The fisherman told the woman the cause of the matter.
The woman pondered for a moment, "How did the child end up here? Did a ship encounter a wave and the child was in trouble and was washed here by the sea? "
The fisherman nodded and felt that what the woman said made sense. "Maybe so. Whatever, let's wake him up first."
At the same time, the little girl who just ran out pulled a middle-aged man carrying a medicine box in her hand. She lifted the curtain and walked in.
Until she saw the couple in front of her were safe and sound, she walked with some doubts and said,
"Erya asked me to come to save the child in a hurry just now. I thought something happened to your family."
When the fisherman saw Doctor Liu coming, he quickly stood up and gave up his position. He came out and explained,
"It's not someone in our family who is sick. It's this little boy. Doctor Liu, come and see if the child can be saved?"
Doctor Liu's eyes saw the child lying on the bed. He frowned slightly and felt the child's pulse first. "Where did this child come from?"
