176 Resentful Su Hao
Su Qian looked at the little girl’s red-rimmed eyes and felt conflicted. She knew what was wrong with Su Hao but didn’t know how to explain it. She could only apologize on Su Hao’s behalf, “N-No, that’s not it, Su Su. Su Hao is the one who doesn’t understand. Don’t be sad.”
But it seemed that Su Su had wasted hours of effort. How could Su Su not be sad? Since Su Su was a child in this timeline, tears would involuntarily fall whenever she felt wronged. She wiped her eyes and said, “It’s okay, Su Qian. There must’ve been a misunderstanding somewhere. But I accidentally broke the cookie I wanted to give you.”
Looking at the broken cookie in a panic, Su Qian picked it up and comforted the little girl, “It’s okay, Su Su. I can still eat it even if it’s broken. Here, I’ll try some right now.” Su Qiao took a piece of the cookie and put it into her mouth.
Su Qian’s eyes widened as she chewed. She was sincere and, at the same time, trying to comfort Su Su. She exclaimed, “W-Wow! This is delicious, Su Su.”
Su Su couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Su Qian’s hilarious expression. The little girl couldn’t stay angry no matter how offended she was when faced with the angelic Su Qian.
Su Su didn’t want Su Qian to be caught in the middle of Su Hao and herself, so she helplessly said, “Okay, I’ll come and play with Su Hao when he’s in a better mood. I still have to deliver some cookies to Fourth Brother. I’ll take my leave now!”
“O-Okay, Su Su! Again, I’m truly sorry for Su Hao’s behavior!” Su Qian looked at Su Su with concern. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Su hadn’t taken Su Hao’s offense to heart.
Su Su waved her hand and regained her spirit. She walked away with her short legs as if nothing had happened.
‘Forget it. I don’t need to feel sorry for Su Su. If she fell and got hurt, she would complain to Su Jun, and then they would kick me out of the house,’ Su Hao thought unhappily.
Then Su Hao thought of what Su Ren had told him, “Do you think you can rest easy in the Su family home just because your sister is on good terms with Su Su? Let me tell you something, I had a good relationship with Su Su too, but they put me here with you guys in the end because of her.”
When Su Hao tried to refute, Su Ren sneered, “I could stay in the main house because I’m their adopted sister, but I wonder what would happen to you. Su Su only needs to say a few words, and Su Jun would kick you guys out of the Su family home within minutes.”
“Think about it. Isn’t your sister in the same situation as me? Sooner or later, Su Su will hurt her as she hurt me. If you don’t believe me, you’ll be out on the streets with your sister in no time.”
Su Hao’s worst nightmare was to wander the streets. Su Ren’s words reached the depths of Su Hao’s heart. Therefore, resentment and anger filled his heart when he saw Su Su.
Su Hao was annoyed when he thought of what Su Ren had said. He could only pound his bed in pain and feel nothing but anger.
