“Hopeless!!”

After listening to Liu Bujuan’s words, Father Liu was completely disillusioned with her. He was still thinking of trying to bail Liu Bujuan out. After all, she is still young, having only spent a short time in college. How can she go to jail like this?

However, after listening to her thoughts, Father Liu realized she felt no remorse at all from her actions. She was beyond saving.

In fact, when she did such a thing to her sister and brother-in-law, she had already lost her last traces of humanity.

It was only him who still had expectations for her, thinking that she was befuddled at the moment. Only, he just realized that so-called ‘momentary befuddlement’ had been playing out since over 10 years ago. If she really felt regret, things wouldn’t come to this.

Father Liu refused to pay any more attention to Liu Bujuan, but Liu Bujuan then went ballistic.

“You answer me!! Do you have nothing to say?! You haven’t answered me yet, how can you just leave?!!”

“All right, stop yelling. The old man doesn’t want to talk to you. I too, have no more words for you.”

Mother Liu looked at Liu Bujuan with disgust in her eyes.

Once upon a time, she felt that her younger brother-in-law and sister-in-law were greedy and insatiable.

But at least they were good to their children, and everything they did was for the sake of Liu Bujuan, the daughter, who called her younger brother-in-law incapable and unmotivated.

Her husband’s brother wanted to give their child a future, so he put his ideas on them.

After all, money and wealth always moved the heart.

In his death, it was the second brother’s wish that they took care of her. Even though she knew that the child might grow up to be a white-eyed wolf, she still didn’t do anything to her.

(TNote: white-eyed wolf = and ungrateful person.)

In any case, their Liu family lacked nothing, and they didn’t need this child to repay them for anything.

Unexpectedly, she turned her head to bite them back.

“Originally, we wanted to give you 30% of our inheritance. After all, we raised you for a long time, and we both thought that when the old man and I are gone, we wouldn’t want you to have a tough life. We were very relieved that Zizi and Yanran have Yuyang to take care of them, but you were the only one who had no one to depend on. We certainly didn’t trust you to take care of yourself.

Unfortunately, you showed signs of coveting your brother-in-law over and over again, and you always bullied Yanran and Zizi. We thought you were only doing this because you were childish and insecure.

Then, we found out what you did to your parents. You even intensified your efforts to get Zizi and Yuyang divorced, going so far as to put drugs in Yanran’s milk to make her sterile for life. You are so hard-hearted, and I don’t know who you took after!! The 10 million was left to you by the old man out of respect for his younger brother. If it was up to me, people like you should have been kicked out of the house.

Who made him so soft-hearted? He still thinks of the fact that you are a Liu family descendant. Even now, we’re still thinking of sending you out to live well in a place where no one knows you. Now, it seems that there’s no need for us to do so. Even if people like you are released, you will only harm others. As for your question just now, I can only tell you that you brought this onto yourself, and it had nothing to do with others. Of course, I don’t care whether you want it or not!”

After saying that, Mother Liu turned away without a single bit of sympathy.

She wasn’t really close with Liu Bujuan in the first place, it was just that they had been spending a lot of time together and so had a bit of affection for each other.

Only, after what the girl did to her daughter and granddaughter, she began to hate this cruel girl. If it weren’t for her and Yuyang’s tight defense, and nothing serious happened to her daughter and granddaughter, she would have personally cut the poisonous snake to pieces.

The old man had a heart condition and shouldn’t become too agitated, so she had to hide it from him. It was good now that the girl had dug her own grave. Also, Mother Liu doesn’t know what her son-in-law said to the old man, but the old man actually figured it out.

Now, he just wanted to see her one last time, a final chance, and for closure. If she didn’t repent, they would consider it as if no such person existed in Liu’s family.

She has thought things through too for this. If the old man still wanted to protect this girl again and wanted to bail her out, she would move out with her daughter and her family.

She won’t let such a person live with them anymore.

“Lie!! You’re lying! How can you be so kind!!!”

After listening to Mother Liu, Liu Bujuan was completely stunned. She always thought that what she did was the perfect move.

No one knew exactly what she had done. She thought the Liu’s were fools for keeping her in the dark and being stupidly nice to her all the time.

As it turns out, they knew everything!

Knowing everything, but pretending that nothing had happened. Living with her, and being nice to her for over 10 years.

How can there be such good people in this world? She couldn’t believe it!

Impossible!

If all this was true, then, over the years, hadn’t she only acted like a fool, like a clown in front of them, performing theatrics that she thought everyone couldn’t see through?

After that, no one paid any attention to her, and no one came to see her again.

The only thing waiting for her was a life sentence arranged by Su Yuyang.

Of course, no one bullied her in prison, and no one tortured her. As a member of the Liu family, she still had that dignity, she just didn’t have the freedom anymore.

That was the extent of special treatment given to her for the sake of the old man of the Liu family.

Years later, on the day Patriarch Liu died, someone sent a photo to her. In the photo, it depicted what she looked like when she was a child, when she first arrived at the Liu’s house. That day, Liu Zizi bought her a beautiful skirt and made her an ugly birthday cake with her own hands.

Father Liu held her in his lap and smiled happily. Although Mother Liu disliked her, she still stood behind them and helped block the hot sun from her. Su Yanran held her hand and was affectionate.

Su Yuyang was hugging Liu Zizi without looking at her, his smile faint. Their family looked so happy, and it was impossible to tell that she wasn’t a true part of it.

On this day, she sat on the single bed in her cell, and tears dripped down onto the picture.

If … if she hadn’t done those things, wouldn’t everything have stayed the same …

***

“Did you send the picture?”

Liu Zizi, dressed in black, wiped her tears as she stood in Father Liu’s mourning hall and asked her husband, who had just returned.

Her Father passed away peacefully, with the only thing on his mind, even on his deathbed, being Liu Bujuan’s welfare, who was still in prison.

Su Yuyang then said he would make sure to look after her, and only then did her Father finally relented, and told them to give that picture to Liu Bujuan.

In the end, he still hoped to bring back the last bit of conscience in Liu Bujuan’s heart.

As parents, even if their children did something dreadful and wrong, they would still hope that their children can turn around.

“Hmm, they said she cried a lot in there. Maybe, just maybe, she realized what Dad was going through and how he felt,” Su Yuyang answered.

In reality, he didn’t care what Liu Bujuan thought, or if she repented. Would she be able to write off what she had done in the past?

What he and Liu Zizi cared about was just the fatherly heart of the old man. They didn’t want to pay any attention to Liu Bujuan anymore. By now, she had already gotten the punishment she deserved. It was the consequence of the choices she made, and naturally, she should be responsible for it.

No matter what other people do or say, the only thing he wants to protect and the only thing he will protect is the mood of the people he cares about.

As for others, it was secondary.

He gently rubbed his wife’s back, and he smiled as he turned to look at her beautiful face. Suddenly, there was a baby crying behind him. Su Yanran was standing there holding a baby, looking somewhat overwhelmed.

“Hu… husband, why does he keep crying …?”

Su Yanran was a workaholic, just like her mother. Apart from her pregnancy, labor, and being forced to take six months off by Su Yuyang and Liang Jinxuan, their baby was always taken care of by Liang Jinxuan.

Liang Jinxuan had left for the bathroom, so he gave the baby to Su Yanran to hold, but it didn’t take long after she held the baby before it started to cry several times.

Liu Zizi, even as a grandmother, also didn’t have much experience with babies, so she was also at a loss. Father Su, on the other hand, felt that his daughter will lose the chance to spend time with her child by leaving her with Liang Jinxuan, so she must train up her skills in raising a baby, and face this challenge head on.

In the end, neither of Su Yanran’s parents moved to help her.

Su Yanran could only wait for her husband, Liang Jinxuan, to save her from this predicament.

“Let’s see, let’s see. Owh, it’s pee. It’s okay, I’ll take care of it.”

As soon as the tall Liang Jinxuan appeared, Su Yanran immediately found her savior.

Giving their child to her husband, she watched him quickly help the baby deal with its discomfort, deep love evident in her eyes.

Her husband was really handsome.

“Back then, you seemed to look at me the same way when I was taking care of our child.”

Su Yuyang couldn’t help saying something to Liu Zizi.

“Are men that could bring up children particularly handsome?”

“No, it’s because the one with the baby, is you.”

Liu Zizi took Su Yuyang’s arm and looked him in the eye. Even though they were almost 50 years old, they were still the most beautiful/handsome in each other’s eyes.

‘Dad, Mom, I chose this man. He will give me a lifetime of happiness, you can be at ease.’

“Ding! The host completed the task perfectly, and opened two side quests. Beginning to settle the points … “

The voice of the system resounded in his head. This wonderful and warm life finally ended when he watched Liu Zizi pass away at the age of 89.

“Host, we earned 12,000 points from this task, great!! Shouldn’t the host choose to deduct all of the previous borrowed points?”

The system asked carefully.

Seriously, it was apprehensive about lending so many points to the host.

It wasn’t afraid of anything, but it was anxious that the auditor sent by Lord God would suddenly conduct a random check. If that happened, and they got caught, it would be punished by the Lord God.

“Hmm, deduct it all.”

Su Yuyang thought he could still get direct credit from the system for whatever he wanted anyways, so what’s there to be afraid of this deduction?

As the saying goes, it’s not hard to borrow and return, and he’s such a trustworthy person. Naturally, he couldn’t do something like reneging on his debts.

“Thank you, host! Host is the best!”

The system breathed a sigh of relief. If even only a part of the borrowed points was subtracted, the remaining 10,000 points would fall within the loanable range.

Even if they were audited, nothing will happen.

“You’ve got a good deal of points returned now, don’t you?

Su Yuyang asked the system.

“Yes, I did.”

“Lend me 5,000 points, I want to exchange items.”

“…”

You still want to do this?!

The system was shocked by Su Yuyang’s words. How can it be like this? The points were just returned, it had not even warmed up yet!

“Isn’t this amount within the scope of borrowing? After I have completed the task perfectly with these points, I can give you more points.”

Damn, why did he just say what was on its mind? Can it even keep its points if the host knows about the loanable range and such?

“This is what I said, but 5,000 points is too much…”

The system tried to bargain with Su Yuyang.

“Cut the nagging, if I don’t borrow then I’ll sleep in the system space forever, and I won’t do tasks. You’ll never be able to pay back those points.”

“Boohoo… I thought the host had become kind.”

The system sobbed and took out the points and whispered.

“Enter the task.”

When he got what he wanted, Su Yuyang went on to the next task without stopping. Only in this way could he not fall into those wonderful memories.
