Mother's Memento

Qi Yingqiu turned back and waved at Su Luo and the Shen sisters.

"Auntie's leaving, Xiao Luo, Xiao Yue, Xiao Yu, remember to drink your soup!"

With that, Qi Yingqiu left the backyard.

A flicker of struggle crossed Liu Yunyi's eyes.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she returned to her training.

The day's training ended.

Su Luo went to the kitchen and found the refrigerator empty.

"I'm going to the supermarket, who wants to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunyi immediately remembered her mother's instructions.

Find an opportunity to be alone!

"I'll go with you."

Su Luo was taken aback for a moment.

He had thought they would still be huddled in front of the TV like before, letting him go alone.

He hadn't expected Liu Yunyi to be so proactive today.

"Okay, let's go!"

They each put on their clothes and masks.

The two took a taxi to the supermarket.

Inside the supermarket, both employees and customers were uniformly wearing masks.

Su Luo pushed the shopping cart, with Liu Yunyi following beside him.

They chatted and laughed as they weaved through the aisles, selecting various items.

Before long, the shopping cart in front of Su Luo was filled with goods.

Just as they were pushing the cart towards the checkout, "Xiao Luo?"

A greeting made Su Luo stop in his tracks.

He turned around and saw Su Xiong, as expected.

He was still working as a snack promoter at this supermarket.

Su Xiong looked at Su Luo helplessly, then glanced at Liu Yunyi.

"Su Xiong? Is there something you need?" Su Luo asked coldly.

Hearing Su Luo's icy tone, Liu Yunyi turned to look at him in confusion.

This was the first time she had heard Su Luo speak like this.

The usual Su Luo spoke with a gentle tone.

Only during battles did his voice fill with arrogance and absolute confidence.

But this cold Su Luo today felt a little novel to her.

Su Xiong rubbed his hands awkwardly as he listened to Su Luo's tone.

"Xiao Luo, I'm planning to sell that house to pay for Xiao Ming's medical treatment."

"While clearing out the basement, I accidentally found some items left by your mother. Do you still want them?"

As Su Xiong spoke, he took out a uniquely shaped white stone necklace from his pocket and handed it to Su Luo.

Hearing the word "mother," Su Luo couldn't help but freeze.

In the depths of his distant memories, his mother's appearance had long since blurred.

Only by relying on scattered fragments of memory could he recall a part of his mother's likeness.

Su Luo reached out and took the stone necklace, caressing the stone's texture.

He couldn't feel any energy within it; it seemed to be just an ordinary stone.

He put the necklace in his pocket and gave Su Xiong one last look.

He took out a Tier 2 Crystal Core and threw it to Su Xiong.

"From now on, we are even. Let's go our separate ways and live in peace."

"Yunyi, let's go." Su Luo turned and walked away directly.

Liu Yunyi quickly replied, "Okay."

Then, she smiled and nodded at Su Xiong before stepping to catch up with Su Luo.

Seeing Su Luo leave so decisively, Su Xiong gave a bitter smile.

He had thought a lot these past few days.

He recalled everything about Su Luo, from birth until now.

He felt he had failed Su Luo; he truly hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father growing up.

He had gone to the small room where Su Luo used to live and touched the tattered quilt on the bed.

It was only then that he understood why Su Luo hated him so much.

He deserved what had befallen him.

Ever since Su Luo left home that night, they were no longer a family.

Su Luo would no longer acknowledge him, and he had no face to ask Su Luo to acknowledge him.

This was fine; as long as Su Luo was happy, that was all that mattered.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe they just changed their name!

Su Xiong stood there, lost in thought.

He tucked the Tier 2 Crystal Core in his hand into his pocket.

Returning to his stall, his voice choked and broken, he began to hawk his wares again.

"Snack gift baskets... selling cheap!"

After paying, they emerged from the supermarket.

Both of them were carrying large bags of groceries.

Su Luo had bought extra this time because they had help.

Standing on the bustling street, Liu Yunyi turned to look at Su Luo.

She asked tentatively, "Su... Su Luo, was that your father?"

"He was," Su Luo replied.

"Then, can you tell me why?" Liu Yunyi asked curiously.

Su Luo took a deep breath and began to recount his story.

The more Liu Yunyi listened, the angrier she became.

She had never encountered such an incompetent father.

She couldn't even imagine how Su Luo had lived in such a family environment growing up.

If it were her, she would have already stabbed that woman named Pan Yun to death.

She hadn't expected Su Luo to endure such immense pressure solely through his willpower.

And to become so mature, steady, and strong.

At the same time, amidst her anger, she also felt a sense of joy.

She hadn't expected that coming out alone would lead her to learn about Su Luo's past. It seemed spending time alone was indeed effective.

Just as they were chatting, a taxi arrived.

Upon arriving home, Su Luo immediately started cooking.

After all, there were two hungry sisters waiting at home.

After dinner, Su Luo lay on the bed to rest.

He thought of the stone necklace.

He then simply cleaned it, wiped it dry, and put it on.

He woke up feeling refreshed.

While Su Luo was brushing his teeth and washing his face.

A hurried doorbell rang outside.

Su Luo had woken up the earliest; the other three were probably still asleep.

He put on his clothes and mask.

He walked to the electronic doorbell screen.

At a glance, he saw two guys holding bouquets of flowers.

Judging by their appearance, they were probably around his age.

Judging by their clothing, they seemed to be from wealthy families.

The two looked very alike, like twin brothers.

He opened the intercom and replied, "Who are you?"

The two brothers outside were momentarily taken aback when they heard a man's voice.

They had investigated before coming; the male head of this household had been missing for a long time.

They believed only the two Shen sisters should be in this house now.

The sudden male voice left them both somewhat flustered.

Su Luo saw that neither of them responded.

"Hey! Why aren't you saying anything?"

At this point, one of them spoke:

"I am Miss Huaiyue's suitor, and he is Miss Huaiyu's suitor."

"We've come specifically to deliver flowers to the two young ladies today. Are they home?"

Su Luo frowned upon hearing this.

Suitors? They've come all the way to their home?

"Please wait, I'll go call them."

He knocked on their door to wake the two sisters and told them their suitors had arrived.

As soon as the two sisters heard that their suitors were here, they jolted awake from their dreams.

They rushed out of their rooms and to the electronic doorbell screen.

Looking at the two people on the screen, the sisters gritted their teeth in hatred.

"Qian Hai! Qian Yang!"

"To tell you two the truth, you despicable fellows simply don't meet our dharma eye."

"Get lost right now."

"Otherwise, don't blame us for calling the police and having you arrested for harassment!"

The two outside heard the voices from the doorbell, and the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

They hadn't expected the two sisters to be so dismissive of them.
