Chapter 15: The True and False Heir, Part 6

  Time flies second by second.

  Two people in the living room were watching TV intently, but each had their own thoughts.

  At 7:20, Liu Zheng's mobile phone rang.

  Suoluo saw him take a look and then put it down, also didn't care.

  Liu Zheng broke the silence again after a while.

  "Lolo, hand me the remote control."

  "Oh."

  Su Luo picked up the remote control and got up, walking towards Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng was sitting alone in a tiger chair on one side, a little far away from her, so she couldn't reach him while sitting.

  Ever since Liu Xiangya sprained her ankle in the bathroom, Qin Hui has taken it upon himself to drive her around out of guilt. Sometimes Liu Xiangya would return the favor and invite him over for dinner before sending him back, and today was no exception.

  Tan Hui stopped the car, walked around to the other side and opened the door, then carefully helped Liu Xiao Ya out of the car.

  Liu Xiaoya had one foot in a cast and was leaning against Qin Hui's body as she entered the password into the lock.

  "Uncle Liu, here you are." Su Luo handed the remote control in front of Liu Zheng.

  Liu Zheng didn't rush to pick up immediately, but hesitated for a moment.

  At this time, there was a faint noise at the door.

  Not bad, just in time.

  Liu Zheng's face revealed a triumphant smile, silently giving the security guard who had just reported credit, then stretched out his hand to Su Luo.

  But...

  What he grabbed was not the remote control, but...

  Su Luo was startled by Liu Zheng's sudden change in expression, and just as she thought of retreating, she felt her wrist being grabbed, then a huge force pulled her towards Liu Zheng.

  Before she could react, her whole body was already pressed against Liu Zheng's.

  What's going on?! Is this scumbag going to take advantage of me?! Oh my god!!!

  Su Luo struggled to get up. She wasn't particularly afraid, after all, they were blood relatives, and if her scumbag father dared to come over, she would just reveal their relationship, and he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on his own daughter.

  But she underestimated Liu Zheng's plan.

  Just as she was about to stand up with her hands grasping the back of the chair, Liu Zheng moved again.

  This time, he used all his strength, and with a swift and ruthless motion, Su Luo was pushed out, flying across the room before crashing heavily onto the floorboards, not even having time to let out a scream.

  This time there was no human cushion, and the hard marble floor was right under her. Su Luo was thrown into a dizzying spin, with stars dancing before her eyes. For an instant, she even thought that she might die or become paralyzed from this fall, because her entire body especially the half that had hit the ground first was numb. It wasn't until several seconds later that she regained consciousness, and then there was only a world of pain.

  "Miss Su, please restrain yourself. Considering Xiaoya's sake, I regard you as a junior, but that doesn't mean you can overstep your bounds. Today's incident, I can pretend it didn't happen, considering you're young and don't understand things. However, from now on, please do not come to our house again, nor contact Xiaoya, I think you two are not suitable as friends."

  Suoluo was still reeling, lying on the ground and sweating profusely, his entire body resisting the pain, without any strength to speak, otherwise he would have jumped up and refuted him long ago, and wouldn't let Liu say whatever he wanted.

  Liu Zheng finished speaking and was about to go upstairs when he happened to see Xiao Ya and Tong Hui standing at the door. (Actually, he had seen them earlier, but pretended not to have noticed.)

  Liu Xiaoya was already crying at this point, covering her mouth in disbelief. Qin Hui, on the other hand, looked at Su Luo with a mixture of disappointment and disgust, as if looking at a pile of disgusting trash.

  "Yaya, you're back! It's not what you think, Dad and your friend just had a little misunderstanding, it's all good once they talk it out, really! Qin Hui is here too, don't stand there, come in and sit down."

  Liu Zheng's flustered and hurried attempt to cover up only made it more convincing. At least, Tan Hui was completely unsuspecting.

  "Dad, don't explain anymore, I've seen everything. Luoluo, how could you do this? I thought you were my best friend. And did you ever think about Qianhui's feelings? He loves you so much, how could you...how could you..." By the end of her words, Liu Xiaya seemed like she was going to faint, and Qianhui quickly hugged her in his arms.

  "Xiao Ya, never mind, I'll take you back to your room to rest."

  "Tan Hui, you stay with Xiao Ya, I'll handle things here." Liu Zheng spoke up, although it was hard for him to see Xiao Ya in someone else's arms. But as long as she was happy, wasn't that his goal?

  "Hmm." He said, and then he carried Xiaoya upstairs.

  Actually, Liu Zheng's flaws are not few, and Xiao Ya had already seen through them with her cleverness. For example, Su Luo didn't know their home address, so she couldn't have come alone, it must have been Liu Zheng who picked her up. Also, for example, Liu Zheng specifically called today to confirm her return time and specially instructed her to bring Qin Hui along. And also, at this time of day in the past, the doors of their house were always open with servants guarding them, but today not a single one was seen, and she had to open the door herself...

  These small details pieced together were enough for her to determine that this was a scheme set up by Liu Zheng, and the purpose, naturally, was to help her. However, this didn't prevent her from being the "victim", did it?

  Liu Zheng's push was skillful, although it hurt, but did not cause Su Luo any real harm.

  After a few minutes, she came to herself, got up from the cold ground and limped away from the Liu's house.

  Although he knew it was just a story, Sulolo still cried all night because he had never been treated like that before.

  Because of Liu Qianqian's spell, she fell in love with Tan Hui. Although she had known that Tan Hui was already together with Liu Xiaoya before, but after all, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and didn't have much feeling about it. But this time, facing him face to face, she lost miserably, and naturally felt uncomfortable in her heart.

  But that's not the key. After all, she has experience from last time and knows not to let herself fall into it, will try her best to restrain herself, so her feelings for Qin Hui are not as deep as those for Qi Yu Xuan.

  But this time's encounter triggered her inner vulnerability, and she didn't know how many more days like this she could endure. Although after leaving the previous world, through Liu Qianqian's magic, that period of time was just a fleeting moment for her, and after coming to this world, it had only been a few months, but she really felt very lonely, very desolate, and also had an inexplicable fear and grievance. This feeling of having no family, no friends, as if the whole world had abandoned you, was truly terrible.

  The other half was for the original owner. Su Luo seemed to hear another soul in her body crying with her, and it was even more heartbroken than she was.

  I only knew about the plot at first and felt unfair for the protagonist being treated like that by her own father, but after experiencing it personally today, I realized this pain is indeed heart-wrenching.

  Daughters towards their fathers always have a kind of innate adoration and even possessiveness.

  I remember when I was a kid, there was one time when a good friend of mine was better at foreign languages than me. My dad praised her for it and said that I wasn't as good as she was. She then had several consecutive nights of nightmares, dreaming that my dad didn't want me anymore and wanted my friend to be his child instead. She would wake up from those dreams in tears.

  After my parents found out what was wrong, they couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, thinking that I was just being a silly kid. But that feeling of jealousy and fear of losing my dad's love has stayed with me for many years, and it's still clear as day in my memory. This is also one of the reasons why I worked so hard to study later on, not wanting to disappoint my parents.

  And what about the original owner's father? He was willing to sacrifice his own daughter for a woman!

  When Liu Zheng was intentionally getting close, she had thought about slowly deepening the feelings between the two of them. Perhaps at an appropriate time, they could reveal the truth and let the father and daughter reunite. Then, she would ask Liu Daxian for help to find the original owner's soul and let them be together again, thus avoiding a tragic indirect murder.

  Who would have thought...

  She's just too naive.

  In Liu Zheng's eyes and heart, there could only be one person, Liu Xiangya. Others didn't count for anything. Even after finding his biological daughter, he would still sacrifice everything for Liu Xiangya if needed. How could she expect him to have any sympathy for himself when he didn't know anything yet?

  For the original owner, and for himself, Su Luo cried all night, only struggling to get up when dawn was approaching. He took a bath, brushed his teeth, and then applied medicine to the terrifying bruises on his body.

  It was too lazy before, it's time to take the initiative now.

  When Liu Daxian finished the previous task, he left a bracelet for Su Luo as a medium of connection between them. As long as she rubbed the beads in sequence, Liu Daxian would appear in her mind and help her with things she couldn't do herself. Of course, whether or not to help was up to Daxian, and each task could only be used twice, but if she performed well, he might increase it at his discretion.

  After applying the medicine, Sulolo sent a text message to his colleague, saying that he was ill and wanted to swap shifts, then fell asleep, because he was really too tired.

  After waking up, she contacted Liu Qianqian through the wristband. Liu Qianqian was very satisfied with her high morale and eagerness to abuse slag, and readily agreed.

  Then she took out her luggage, packed a full box, left a note for Su Xiaopeng, and dialed Liu Xiao Ya's phone.

  "Xiao Ya, I'm Suo Luo Luo, do you have time? Let's meet up and clear some things up."

  Liu Xiaoya thought Suluo was going to explain what happened yesterday, and she didn't want to go at first, but after thinking about it, she agreed. Who made her the kindest and most understanding person, right?

  The two of them made an appointment at a shopping mall not far from Su Luo's home, where there was a coffee shop on the second floor with a nice environment and reasonable prices.

  The two of them arrived at almost the same time and found a card seat to sit down face-to-face. Each ordered a cup of coffee.

  "Xiao Ya, yesterday's incident wasn't what you saw. I was just handing the remote control to Uncle Liu when I accidentally lost my balance and fell onto him. Honestly, please believe me."

  "Lolo, I've always trusted you, but how could you do this to me? You're taking advantage of my trust and making a fool out of me. Yesterday's incident, we both saw it with our own eyes - you used my friend's identity to get close to my dad and even tried to seduce him! Is there no shame? Can't you consider my feelings for once and think about our friendship? Even if it was just a little, you shouldn't have done something that would hurt me like this! And what's more, you're someone with a boyfriend - Qin Hui may not be as wealthy or successful as my dad, but he truly loves you. How could you do this to him?" Liu Xiangya switched into her usual melodramatic mode, speaking as if she was about to cry, and intentionally raised her voice, causing the people around them to point and stare at Su Lolo with disdain.

  "I've already made things clear, whether you believe it or not is up to you. After what happened yesterday, I'm afraid Qianhui won't forgive me. I know you like him, so please take good care of him in the future. I'll leave here and go to a new city, a place without any of you, and start over again. And also, Xiaopeng, considering our acquaintance, he likes you even more than me, so if he needs help in the future, please lend him a hand. I've left some money for him, not much, but enough for him to finish high school and his first year of college, after that it's up to him."

  "Are you really leaving?" Liu Xiao Ya was a bit unbelievable, thinking that Su Luo would make things difficult and stubbornly pursue her, but she didn't expect to be sent away so easily.

  "Hmm, I've also thought about it. Everyone has their own fate. People like you and Qin Hui are born to be princes and princesses, while people like me are only suited for a humble life, struggling to survive, and if we can just get by and have enough food to eat, that's already good enough, don't expect anything more."

  Liu Xiaoya saw Su Luo and thought she was really willing to let go, so she also breathed a sigh of relief. She was just afraid that Su Luo wouldn't let go and would use some other trick. Qin Huai had feelings for her before, and if he softened his heart at that time, it would be troublesome.

  "Just be happy, we're still friends. When are you leaving? Do you want me to see you off?"

  "It's okay, I've already packed everything up, just go get your luggage and we'll be off."

  "I wish you a smooth journey." Liu Xiao Ya suppressed her inner joy. "Waiter, the bill."

  After finishing shopping, the two left the mall together. When they were going down the escalator, Liu Xiangya missed a step and fell all the way down, bumping into several things along the way. By the time she hit the ground, she had already fainted.

  And Sololo maintained a pose as if he was about to pull her hand, looking like she had pushed him instead.

  "Ah - someone fell down!" The mall was filled with screams from women and children, a scene of panic and chaos.

  Actually, Suoluo didn't push her, Liu Qianqian just used a little trick. If you open the mall's surveillance video, you can see that she actually wanted to reach out and pull someone, but couldn't quite make it.

  After that, it's the same as the original plot. Liu Xiangya was sent to the hospital, Qin Hui and Liu Zheng were heartbroken, Su Luo was taken away by the police to assist in the investigation, because someone accused her of pushing the person, and the coffee shop customers also came forward to testify, saying that the two had a verbal conflict before, and one even cried.

  Liu Xiaoya's injury was not serious, and she soon came to. She heard that Suoluo had been taken away by the police, and she was stunned for a moment, because she clearly remembered that it was her own fault for falling down, how did it become... However, she quickly reacted and expressed her willingness to forgive Suoluo, but from then on, she would treat him as if he were no longer a friend.

  Later, the police waiting to take notes were called into the ward. Under Liu Zheng and Qin Hui's disapproving gaze, Liu Xiaoya said it was her own carelessness and had nothing to do with Su Lolo, asking the police to let her go.

  Su Xiaopeng also rushed over, looking at Liu Xiao Ya who still had a bandage on her head and tears in the corners of her eyes. He was truly frightened, fearing that he would lose her like this, and wished to hold her tightly in his arms, but unfortunately did not have the qualifications to do so.

  When he heard that the one who caused all this was Su Lolo, without even reconfirming it again, he had already sentenced her to death in his heart and immediately promised Liu Xiaoya that he would cut off their relationship and from then on treat her as if she were not his sister.

  Liu Xiaoya's injury wasn't serious, and after the police took a statement, they left. After completing the formalities, Su Luo was released on the same day.

  Because the parties involved are minor injuries, they do not constitute a crime. If it is a civil case, it belongs to a self-prosecution case, and with so many cases piling up like mountains, they are too busy to handle them all. The police are also happy to close the case this way. So, no one has gone to check the surveillance footage.

  Liu Zheng was convinced that Su Luo was the one who harmed Xiao Ya. Seeing Xiao Ya lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, thinking that he almost lost her, his heart ached unbearably. As for Su Luo, his disgust turned into thorough hatred.

  Then he handed Xiaoya over to Qin Hui and left the hospital to start deploying a revenge plan.
