Father Cheng's words struck Luo Su like a bolt from the blue. Luo Su's hair stood on end and she was stunned. She looked at Father Cheng with a guilty expression.
Luo Su had always thought that she had disguised herself very well. No matter how she looked at it, she looked like a person who treated Jiujiu very well.
She gave Jiujiu the same clothes as Luo Yanqing. She was always concerned about Jiujiu's well-being in front of Father Cheng. She even asked Jiujiu about the cram school. Compared to her biological mother, Jiujiu was nothing. So, how did Father Cheng find out that she was not good to Jiujiu?
Luo Su's face darkened when she thought about the recording of Jiujiu's conversation. Other than this recording, she couldn't think of how Father Cheng found out that she treated Jiujiu badly.
Almost instinctively, Luo Su suddenly said, "Did she give you the recording? Listen to me. It wasn't me …"
"What recording?" Father Cheng didn't want to listen to Luo Su's quibbling and directly asked about the recording.
Luo Su never thought that she would say it out loud. She had been on guard for so long, afraid that Jiujiu would reveal the recording. Luo Su was completely dumbfounded. When she came back to her senses, she saw Father Cheng walking out with a dark face.
Luo Su hurriedly pounced on Father Cheng to pull him back, but Father Cheng waved her away. Father Cheng said coldly, "What else are you hiding from me?"
Luo Su was so frightened by the coldness in Father Cheng's eyes that she shivered. Her lips couldn't stop trembling because of fear. Thousands of words rushed to her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't say a single word. In the end, she stammered, "I really didn't. I really didn't. I swear, this is the last time."
Father Cheng turned around and left after hearing Luo Su's stammering words.
Luo Su looked at Father Cheng's back and only one word appeared in her mind. It was over.
Moreover, the most important thing was that she was the one who revealed the recording. Russell wished he could stab himself to death.
Since Father Cheng had been promoted so many times, he was naturally not a fool. He quickly figured out the crux of the problem.
Moreover, he also remembered that Luo Su had treated Jiujiu badly in the past. However, when he returned, Jiujiu had been living a good life. Father Cheng had always thought that it was because of him. But now, judging from Luo Su's words, it seemed that it was because of the recording.
At the thought that Jiujiu had Luo Su's recording, Father Cheng's heart trembled.
What did Jiujiu's recording mean? It meant that Jiujiu already had the ability to protect herself, but it also meant that his Jiujiu had been changed from an innocent little girl to a scheming person by Russell. This change was truly heartbreaking.
However, this change was also caused by him. If he had not been so superficial, if he had listened to Jiujiu carefully, and if he had been more patient with Jiujiu, Jiujiu would not have used the recording to protect herself.
Father Cheng sat by the roadside for a long time until his legs were a little numb. He sat up and turned to walk home. He was going to find Jiujiu.
When Father Cheng returned home, Luo Yanqing and Luo Su were gone, together with the passbook and valuables at home.
Father Cheng directly called the police. After telling the police something, he continued to sit at home and wait for Jiujiu.
Jiujiu had been back for an hour. It was Xiang Xiao who sent her back.
This time, Xiang Xiao and Jiujiu's grades were similar. Both of them were admitted to Tsinghua University. Xiang Xiao also began to pursue Jiujiu officially.
After considering many aspects, Jiujiu agreed to Xiang Xiao's pursuit.
Since Jiujiu had agreed, Xiang Xiao naturally had to fulfill his responsibilities as a boyfriend. For example, he would send Jiujiu home.
Seeing the tall, handsome, and protective Xiang Xiao behind Jiujiu, Father Cheng was stunned. After a while, he said, "Who is this?"
"Hello, uncle. I'm Jiujiu's classmate, Xiang Xiao."
Father Cheng had heard the name Xiang Xiao before. Luo Yanqing and Jiujiu had talked about Xiang Xiao before. However, Luo Yanqing and Luo Yanqing had talked about Xiang Xiao in a praising tone. During the parent-teacher conference, Father Cheng had heard the name Xiang Xiao mentioned together with Jiujiu more than once. Therefore, when he heard Xiang Xiao's name, Father Cheng came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, come in and have a seat."
Seeing Father Cheng's unhappy face, Xiang Xiao guessed that Father Cheng had something to say to Jiujiu, so he waved his hand and refused. "It's okay. I'm leaving. Goodbye, uncle."
Xiang Xiao left after saying that. Seeing that Xiang Xiao had left, Father Cheng lowered his head and looked at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was only 1.58 meters tall now. Due to malnutrition when she was young, she was still thin and small. Her small face was only the size of a palm, and her waist was so thin that one could hold it with one hand. No matter how he looked at her, he felt sorry for her.
Father Cheng thought that by giving Jiujiu a sum of money and treating Jiujiu well over the years, he could make up for the grievances that Jiujiu had suffered over the years. However, he now realized that he still owed Jiujiu a lot.
He had made Jiujiu lose her innocence and happiness. He had made her lose her carefree childhood.
Father Cheng's mouth opened and closed. After a long time, he said, "Your aunt said that you have a recording."
Jiujiu was stunned. After a while, she realized that Luo Su must have let it slip.
Jiujiu had never thought of lying to Father Cheng. Moreover, the recording was meant for him to listen to. After a while, she went upstairs, took out the recording pen, and handed it to Father Cheng.
The style of the recording pen was old. However, Jiujiu had always taken good care of it, so it could still be used now.
Father Cheng pressed the play button, and Luo Su's voice soon came out of the recording pen.
However, the difference was that Luo Su was not as gentle and kind as she used to be in front of Father Cheng. Instead, she was as unruly and shrewish as a woman who bought groceries on the street. She scolded Jiujiu viciously, and Luo Yanqing was even worse than Luo Su.
The more Father Cheng listened, the more uncomfortable he felt as if his heart had been scratched by a cat's paw. He felt as if his heart was being fried in a pan of oil.
What on earth had he done? Luo Su had treated his child like this. After knowing that Jiujiu had been abused, he had still stayed with her for so long.
He was worried about his relationship with Luo Su, but Luo Su did not care about him at all. Luo Su really wanted to kill his child. Now, Luo Su did not care about their years of relationship at all. She directly took all the family's money and ran away. He had let his own flesh and blood suffer for such a long time because of such a heartless and vicious woman.
Coincidentally, the police called and said that Luo Su had been caught.
Because of the guilt in his heart, Father Cheng did not hide anything this time. He told Jiujiu everything about how he had confronted Luo Su and how Luo Su had run away with all the family's money.
Jiujiu had expected Luo Su to do this.
