Relations Thaw

In the early morning, a ray of long-awaited sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto Su Qi's face.

Su Qi grumbled uncomfortably, then tugged at the hood of her bunny ear pajamas and turned her head to sleep again.

Lu Ran watched her daughter with great interest. In her sleep, Lu Ran's adorable little routine perfectly captured the soft and sweet nature of a young girl.

Compared to Su Qi, who has a somewhat boyish personality when she's awake, she's even more adorable in her sleep right now.

After gently stroking Su Qi's bouncy and smooth face with her fingertips, Lu Ran felt satisfied and got out of bed to prepare for washing up and cooking.

Not long after Lu Ran got out of bed, Su Qi was woken up by the sound of her chopping dumpling filling.

Hearing the familiar and rhythmic dangdang sound, Su Qi felt as if she had returned to her high school summer vacation.

Su Qi was forcibly woken up. She wanted to check the time on her phone, but she was drawn to several news headlines that were pushed to her phone.

You should know that on ordinary days, mobile phone news is usually about celebrities and trending videos.

Su Qi doesn't follow celebrities; she prefers the world of anime and manga to real-life stars, but the content on her anime and manga has absolutely nothing to do with celebrities.

Shanxi was suddenly hit by heavy rain, causing flooding in many areas.

On the impact of Typhoon Haidou on heavy rainfall

Shocking! The reason why Haidou is so powerful is revealed!

After thinking for a moment, Su Qi clicked on the first of the three news articles.

Although the third shocking headline message was quite impactful for Su Qi, based on past experience, it often started strong but ended weakly, so she decisively rejected it.

The very first news story featured a photograph showing a bridge collapsed, leaving only a bare railway track beneath a rushing river.

It appears that the entire bridge was washed away by the water flow.

According to reports, rainfall in parts of Shanxi reached 280 mm last night, with an average rainfall of 18 mm.

0mm. Belongs to the most recent years.

I scrolled down to a few more photos, all of which were pictures of landslides in remote areas. Fortunately, the locations were clearly in the suburbs, so there were no injuries.

Having read the story of Yu the Great taming the floods, Su Qi knows that Yu the Great tamed the areas of Shanxi and Henan.

When Su Qi was a child, she didn't quite understand why Zhe City, which had much higher rainfall, would be unaffected by floods, and she had never heard of any year when it was flooded.

At the time, she was wondering how there could be flooding in inland areas.

Looking at the pictures and explanations now, Su Qi understands some of it.

Because Shanxi is located in the Loess Plateau, the soil is loose and weak. In addition, the typhoon has been bringing rain in recent days. After last night's torrential rain, the soil could not withstand the depletion caused by the heavy rainfall, which led to flooding and other geological disasters. Furthermore, because Shanxi is an inland region, there are no ways to drain the accumulated water, which is why this kind of accident occurred.

Thinking about the floods in Shanxi, Su Qi became a little worried about her stubborn and headstrong brother—Su...

Jun. As far as Su Qi knew, he was a member of the armed police in Shanxi.

Although flood control is mainly the job of firefighters, Su Qi thought that given her brother's personality, he would definitely volunteer to help. Thinking this way, Su Qi felt a little uneasy.

After closing the news page, Su Qi thought about checking if there were any affected friends in the QQ Group. As soon as she clicked in, Su Qi saw a short video in the group.

The video shows a person driving his car, saying, "When I bought this car, I didn't understand why I had to pay vehicle and vessel tax. Now I understand, I'm driving this car like a boat!"

After I posted this video, the car tragically stalled!

Soon after, someone else posted photos of their beloved car that had been flooded.

Group members expressed their condolences.

Soon after, someone posted a short video of themselves sitting in a large basin, drifting with the current. It looks like they were actually in Shanxi, but they seemed quite happy.

Su Qi expressed her admiration; someone who can be so happy even without a home—their composure and mindset must be exceptional!

After looking at several other chat groups, Su Qi discovered that the people in her chat groups really came from all over the world, with quite a few members from Shanxi province alone.

Fortunately, none of the group members were injured.

Su Qi felt that this was the most fortunate thing. After all, no amount of family property or money could compare to the value of a human life.

If she had to choose between money and family, even though she already had over 2 million, she would absolutely choose the latter without a doubt.

After putting down her phone, Su Qi had just left the bedroom to wash up.

Su Qi could hear Lu Ran's voice on the phone coming from the kitchen. Since it was on speakerphone, Su Qi could clearly hear that it was Su Lujun speaking on the other end.

Because of the "Cowardly as a Mouse" curse, Su Qi felt an instinctive urge to back away just by hearing the sounds.

Only after banging on the door did he realize that his father was just talking to his mother on the phone.

Lu Ran still managed to hear the faint sound.

Normally, she would have gone to the kitchen immediately to check if Su Qi had hurt herself.

Unfortunately, if she catches a cold, the rest of the show can't be performed!

Last night, she called Su Lujun to inquire about Yang Ming's situation.

Later, during a casual chat, she discovered that her husband, who had been stubborn for half his life, had actually taken the initiative to admit his mistakes and even wanted her to help him come up with a plan to ask for Su Qi's forgiveness.

So she came up with the idea of putting on a play to bring the two of them closer!

After all, the relationship between Su Qi and Su Lujun is too strained right now; they can't just be allowed to never speak to each other again!

So I made a mental image of myself waking up first, then chopped the dumpling filling and prepared to make dumplings.

A small mirror was placed in the kitchen so that the reflection in the living room could be used to check if Su Qi had woken up.

As for the phone call, it had already gone through long ago. Seeing Su Qi cautiously approaching like a kitten, Lu Ran found it amusing. She said into the phone:

"How's the matter with Yang Daming going?"

Su Lujun was a little excited on the phone. After waiting for half an hour, she finally got a signal from Lu Ran.

"Yes, all the people Yang Daming hired have been captured, "Su Lujun said, babbling on and on. Su Qi, sitting in the corner, listened intently. At first, she wondered who this Yang Daming was. But gradually, she figured it out; he was Yang Ming's father.

When Su Qi heard that Yang Daming had sent gangsters to arrest her, she was honestly a little scared. She had actually witnessed the arrogant methods of those thugs on the street once before.

However, when she heard that Su Lujun had captured them all, Su Qi patted her heart. At this moment, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. Listening to her father's strong voice, constantly saying that the bad guys would be brought to justice, Su Qi's fear of Su Lujun lessened a lot.

Looking through the reflection in the small mirror, Lu Ran saw that her daughter, who was squatting in the corner, was no longer nervous at the beginning. She only felt that her plan was too blunder.

Hearing Su Lujun's increasingly plausible explanation, and fearing Su Qi might notice something amiss, Lu Ran interrupted her:

"So when are you planning to apologize to the woman?"

Hearing this, Su Qi's eyes widened in disbelief. Was her father really going to apologize to her?

My father was such a proud man; I've never seen him apologize to anyone from childhood to adulthood!

The news shocked her, and Su Qi, who was leaning against the wall, lost her footing and fell to the ground with a thud.

She unconsciously let out a soft sound! Su Qi quickly covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide open!

Looking at her daughter's adorable expression reflected in the mirror, Lu Ran thought the gesture was just too cute!

However, that "ya" sound was too obvious, and Lu Ran felt that it would be too fake for her to pretend that she couldn't hear it.

Just then, Su Lujun spoke up on the phone, "Why has Old Zhao's oriole flown over again?"

When Lu Ran heard Su Lujun say that, she felt that a person's potential was limitless. Her husband was really going all out to beg for his daughter's forgiveness, even using his rusty brain to think!

She opened the window, waved at the sparrows that were nowhere to be seen outside Old Zhao's house, and said, "Hmph, there's no food!" before closing the window again.

Looking through the small mirror, I saw that my daughter had also breathed a sigh of relief and had returned to her previous posture of eavesdropping intently in the corner!

But those white cotton slippers were already showing, and she could see them clearly. What a careless little girl!

However, she wouldn't be foolish enough to expose her daughter's mistake, and instead returned to the previous topic.

"When are you planning to apologize to Xiao Qi?"

"They're here, they're here, "Su Qi thought nervously.

Little did he know, Su Lujun on the other end of the phone was also very nervous. He coughed lightly and said, "After sending Yang Ming, to prison, I will come back to apologize to her."

"Tsk tsk, as if my little Qi is so fond of your apology. From now on, I'll just pamper little Qi, and you just need to take care of Yang Daming's affairs. Bye, bye!" Lu Ran pretended to hang up the phone with a disgusted expression and put the phone in the pocket of her apron.

But the call hadn't actually ended; Su Lujun was still on the other side, listening intently.

After hearing the phone call end, Su Qi hunched over and slowly walked towards the bathroom. She wanted to use the cold water to clear her slightly dizzy head.

Five minutes later, Su Qi, having composed herself, walked confidently into the kitchen and said, "Mom, I've come to help you make dumplings."

Lu Ran smiled and didn't expose Su Qi's little secret.

Although Su Qi doesn't know how to make fillings or roll out dough, she does know how to make dumplings.

After making a dozen or so dumplings, Lu Ran quickly steered the conversation onto the right track using her superb chatting skills.

Wen Yu asked, "Xiao Qi, if your father truly repents and apologizes to you, would you forgive him?"

Hearing Lu Ran's words, Su Qi's hands slowed down as she wrapped dumplings. She couldn't help but think of what her father had said on the phone earlier. After finishing one dumpling, she belatedly nodded and whispered, "Mm!"

Hearing that faint "hmm" from the other end of the phone, Su Lujun felt that the whole world had become beautiful.

If Su Qi were to check the task progress at this moment, she would find that the progress of "Daughter Con" has reached 110/120.
