I pinched my waist and petted him, and I was made to cry by the ruffian Third Master.

After Su Mian got out of the car, he immediately saw his father Su Zhengmin standing at the door of the villa, arguing fiercely with Shen Minzhi.

She was suddenly startled and ran over quickly, holding Su Zhengmin tightly.

"Dad, why are you here?" Su Mian asked anxiously.

Su Zhengmin raised his eyes and stared at Su Mian, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Mianmian, is what she said true?"

Su Mian didn't answer his question, but just grabbed Su Zhengguo and tried to take him away from here: "Dad, let's go home first. I will explain everything to you in detail when we get back."

Shen Minzhi, who was standing aside, looked at the father and daughter with a haughty attitude and a look of contempt on her face.

"Su Mian, do you still have any shame? My Xiaozhou has a wife and children, and you didn't even tell your father. Don't you know that you are the third party?"

Hearing this, Su Mian's body stiffened instantly. She turned her head and glared at Shen Minzhi angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Shen Zhou clearly told me that he had broken off the engagement with Zhang Qiwen!"

Shen Minzhi sneered: "Break off the engagement? Then why is Qiwen still pregnant? Are you too naive?"

Su Mian's face turned pale as paper. She couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

She once thought that the relationship between her and Shen Zhou was real and that Shen Zhou would not lie to her, but now she was completely devastated by Shen Minzhi's words.

She felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand.

However, she suppressed the pain in her heart and said through gritted teeth: "This is impossible... He won't do this to me..."

Shen Minzhi sneered: "What can you compare with Qiwen? Family background, education, looks? Are you worthy? Xiaozhou was just playing around while Qiwen was pregnant, and you really took it seriously."

Upon hearing this, Su Mian's whole body stiffened as if struck by lightning. She widened her eyes in disbelief and stared at Shen Minzhi. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something. It took her a long time to find her voice and she spoke tremblingly.

"Impossible... Shen Zhou clearly told me that the child has nothing to do with him! He has explained it to me very clearly, I will never believe your one-sided words!"

However, in the face of Su Mian's questioning, Shen Minzhi just sneered contemptuously, looked at her with contemptuous eyes, but never said a word.

At this moment, Su Mian's heart was completely panicked.

"Where is Shen Zhou? Call him out! I want to hear him explain it to me in person!"

Su Mian's voice contained a hint of despair and pleading.

She couldn't accept such a sudden blow and just wanted to find Shen Zhou as soon as possible and ask him to give her a reasonable explanation.

Shen Minzhi responded indifferently: "Today is his birthday, of course he went to celebrate with his fiancée, stop making trouble here, get out of our house!"

Su Mian shook her head desperately, tears welling up in her eyes. She simply couldn't believe what Shen Minzhi said.

"You're lying! He told me before that he would stay at home today to celebrate his elders' birthday. Shen Zhou would never lie to me!"

Her voice was full of determination and persistence, as if as long as she held on to this belief, she could support her and Shen Zhou's shaky relationship.

Shen Minzhi's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and her originally gentle eyes were now filled with impatience and disgust.

I saw her frowning, her lips trembling slightly, and she said stiffly: "Whether I am talking nonsense or not, don't you know the answer yourself?

You clearly know that my Xiaozhou already has a fiancée, yet you still cling to him like a lapdog!

What's going on? The money Xiaozhou gave you before was not enough to satisfy your appetite, and now you ask your father to come to your house to blackmail you?

I am warning you, don’t think that just because your brother is dead, you can let the matter of my Xiaojing go!

As long as Xiao Jing doesn't wake up, you will be the enemy of our Shen family!"

Hearing Shen Minzhi's words, Su Zhengmin's pupils suddenly contracted. His face was full of disbelief as he stared straight at Su Mian.

"Mianmian, who is she talking about dead? Isn't your brother studying well in school? How could she curse your brother so viciously?"

Su Mian was startled by her father's sudden questioning. Her face turned pale and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

She held Su Zhengmin's hand tightly, and said with a trembling voice: "Dad, please don't get excited yet, okay? Let's go home and talk slowly."

After saying that, she pulled Su Zhengmin hard, wanting to quickly leave this place that made her feel uneasy.

She was really afraid that if she stayed any longer, Su Zhengmin's illness would relapse.

But obviously, Shen Minzhi didn't give them any chance at all. He continued to press them aggressively, "Your son is dead! He was beaten to death by some thugs! What? Didn't your daughter tell you?"

Hearing this, Su Mian's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She clenched her teeth tightly, stared at Shen Minzhi with hatred, and squeezed out three words from her teeth: "Shut up!"

After saying that, Su Mian's originally clear and moving eyes had now turned red, tears welled up in her eye sockets, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

She turned her gaze to her father, Su Zhengmin, and said with a hint of pleading in her tone, "Dad, let's go home first, okay?"

Perhaps because of the extreme fear in his heart, Su Mian's lips trembled involuntarily when he spoke.

However, Su Zhengmin stood there like a sculpture, motionless, with no response to his daughter's words.

Seeing this, Su Mian became more and more anxious, and finally couldn't hold back her tears. She cried, "Dad, please, let's go home! When we get home, I will explain everything to you!"

Su Zhengmin slowly turned his head and glanced at the arrogant and overbearing Shen Minzhi, then silently retracted his gaze and looked at Su Mian.

His voice was as light as a breeze, yet so heavy that it made it hard to breathe: "Is your brother...really...gone?"

At that moment, Su Zhengmin's eyes were extremely empty, and the light in his eyes disappeared completely.

Su Mian sniffed, tears blurred her eyes, and she said in a choked voice: "Dad, let's go home... Let's go back together... Come home with me..."

Her tone was filled with endless sadness and pleading.

Su Zhengmin nodded silently and responded: "Okay, let's go home... Let's go home, my daughter... Let's go home..."

Su Mian hurriedly pulled his father away as if they were escaping. They walked for nearly half an hour before they finally stopped a taxi.

On the way back, Su Zhengmin remained silent. Even when he returned home and saw the carefully arranged "Happy Birthday" decorations in the living room, he had no expression. He just said calmly: "My daughter, he is really not the one destined for you. Dad was wrong before."

Hearing his father's words, Su Mian's nose felt sore and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes like a flood.

She explained eagerly: "Dad, there is a misunderstanding! Shen Zhou and that woman broke off their engagement a long time ago, and he explained it all to me!"

Su Zhengmin raised his head and stared at Su Mian with dull eyes. Finally, he let out a long sigh: "Alas... forget it... forget it..."

After saying that, he slowly turned around and walked towards the small room, leaving Su Mian alone there, tears still flowing.

Su Mian suddenly became aware of the urn in the small room, and an instinctive impulse prompted her to quickly follow her father's footsteps.

When she pushed open the door, the scene before her made her heart feel as if it was being gnawing at by millions of ants.

Father Su held the urn tightly, staring blankly ahead.

"Dad..." Su Mian's throat became hoarse due to sobbing, and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.

She tried to break the silence with a trembling voice, but every word seemed to be filled with endless sorrow.

Father Su slowly raised his head and looked at Su Mian expressionlessly. His empty eyes seemed to have lost all vitality.

After a long time, his eyes gradually regained focus.

“Is the person inside… your brother?”

Father Su's voice was so low that it seemed to come from the abyss, making Su Mian's heart feel like it was sinking into an ice cellar.

She knew that she could no longer conceal this matter, so she decided to confess the truth to her father.

Su Mian told her father the whole story in tears, and she burst into tears several times.

However, Su's father did not say a word from beginning to end, but just sat there quietly, like a sculpture.

Su Mian could no longer endure this depressing atmosphere. She fell to her knees in front of her father and cried bitterly, "Dad, I'm sorry! I didn't take good care of Haohao. It's all my fault... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Su Zhengmin still had no reaction. His expression was dull, as if he was completely isolated from the world.

Su Mian became more and more worried about her father's health and felt uneasy.

She continued to beg, "Dad, you can hit me or scold me, but I just want you to say a word! Please..."

Su Zhengmin turned his head stiffly like a robot and looked at Su Mian. His lips parted slightly and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Have the people who killed Haohao been caught?"

Seeing that his father had finally spoken, Su Mian nodded vigorously and replied, "They have been caught. The trial will begin in a week. Those three hooligans will definitely be severely punished by the law!"

Su Zhengmin lowered his eyes, staring silently at the urn in his hands, his lips trembling as he said "OK" three times in a row.

"Okay, okay..."

His voice seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, filled with endless sadness and pain.

Su Mian looked at her father distressedly, and her worry became stronger. She called softly, "Dad..."

Su Zhengmin raised his head, forced a smile, and whispered to comfort him: "Don't worry, Dad is fine. Dad will hold on until those hateful guys are punished by law."

After hearing his father's words, Su Mian's heart finally settled down a little, but the worry in his eyes did not completely disappear.

"My daughter, please go out. Dad wants to accompany your brother."

Su Zhengmin spoke again.

Su Mian hesitated for a moment and finally walked out of the small room, but she didn't dare to go back to her room to rest. She could only sit in the living room and listen to the noise coming from the small room.

Su Mian sat alone on the sofa, staring blankly at the exquisite cake on the table. On the cake was a gleaming ring, which she had carefully selected to express her love to Shen Zhou.

However, after experiencing tonight, she knew that the relationship between her and Shen Zhou had come to an end.

Her gaze moved slowly, finally stopping on the wall of the living room.

There was a confession wall that she had carefully decorated in the afternoon.

Pink lace designs were intertwined, colorful lights were flashing with warm light, and every word of blessing was carefully selected by her and written stroke by stroke.

However, at this moment, these decorations that once made her happy were like sharp needles that pricked her eyes.

Su Mian stood up and walked towards the wall with heavy steps.

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked the colored lights and streamers. She took a deep breath and exerted force to pull down all the colored lights, flowers and blessings on the wall.
