Going back to being twenty, taking her heartbroken son to a massage parlor.

He was prepared for his son to break down and blame him.

After all, the impact of parental divorce is greatest on children.

But Su Shixing's reaction was completely unexpected.

The boy remained silent for a moment, his face showing no signs of the expected breakdown or sadness, but rather a calm demeanor.

"To be honest, I guessed it a long time ago."

"You two have been arguing every day for the past few years, and the atmosphere at home is always tense. I've had enough."

"So... I'm not that upset."

This answer surprised Su Mu greatly.

He thought his son would be greatly affected by this incident, and it might even impact his ability to repeat a year of high school.

"You don't blame me?"

"I might have blamed you before."

Su Shixing's expression became complicated.

He recalled the past, his voice somewhat low.

"I used to think that as a man, you should give in to my mother. But today I realize that mutual respect is essential between people."

"My mom... she's just too dramatic."

"She always finds fault with you without any limits and takes all your efforts for granted."

Su Shixing recalled:

"I remember one time you worked overtime until very late and came home late, and you even brought us imported milk and snacks from the company. My sister and I were so happy and looked forward to your return."

"But Mom saw it and threw it right into the trash can."

She said it was shameful for you to bring back these free, cheap goods.

"You two had a huge fight about it. At the time, I even thought you shouldn't have argued with her."

"But now I realize that a carton of milk costs more than ten yuan, it's not cheap at all. She just... looked down on you."

"She doesn't dislike you for what you are, she dislikes you for who you are."

Listening to his son's accusations, word by word, Su Mu felt as if something had struck his heart hard.

It was bittersweet, yet touching.

He always thought that in his son's eyes, he was a useless and incompetent father.

Unexpectedly, my son knows everything.

He has grown up.

Understand and empathize with your father's suffering and difficulties.

In recent years, some unhealthy trends have emerged in society, teaching women to be independent and self-reliant, but never teaching them to understand and respect their husbands.

They treat men's suffering as a joke and men's sacrifices as nothing.

This leads to most men, even after getting married and starting a family, never truly being loved, cared for, or understood.

Su Mu reached out and gave his son's head a good rub.

"Son, you've grown up."

"Dad hopes that when you find a wife in the future, you won't just look at her face. Falling in love is easy, but staying together is hard."

"You must find a kind-hearted woman who understands empathy and makes you feel comfortable. This is more important than anything else."

Su Shixing nodded heavily.

"Dad, I understand."

Xiaowen, who was standing next to her, had tears in her eyes. She sniffed and suddenly blurted out something.

"Brother, after hearing what you said, I realize how tough it is for you men."

"I've decided, from now on I'll definitely treat my dozen or so sycophants better!"

puff!

With just one sentence, the slightly melancholic atmosphere was instantly shattered.

Su Mu and Su Shixing couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, well said! Long live understanding!!"

"Add an extra clock! We absolutely must add an extra clock tonight!"

Hu Liu and Xiao Wen beamed with joy.

"Thank you, boss!"

........

Just then.

"Waaah—waaah—"

Outside the window, a sharp, urgent siren pierced the night sky as it drew nearer.

Su Mu paused, holding his teacup, and raised an eyebrow, teasingly.

"Hey, Hu Liu, you guys have pretty wide-ranging services here, even cracking down on prostitution?"

Hu Liu frowned, listened intently, and immediately analyzed the situation.

"Brother, something's not right."

"We've already transformed into a legitimate foot massage parlor, so we're not afraid of being investigated."

"Besides, if it were a real raid on prostitution, they definitely wouldn't come with sirens blaring; wouldn't that be blatantly telling you to run?"

Her mind worked quickly, and she figured it out in an instant.

"I understand!"

"Brother, this is a police report your ex-wife made!"

Su Mu's face immediately darkened.

Nima!

Jiang Yiyao actually came up with this idea?

Just because I hung up on her, she called the police?

This woman really doesn't leave herself any way out!

Su Mu looked completely unconcerned.

"It's alright, let them investigate."

"I haven't done anything wrong, so I have nothing to fear."

Hu Liu, however, was somewhat anxious.

"Brother, you should go first."

"You haven't broken the law, but your spending history is unclear! You spent thousands of yuan on a single foot massage; do you think the police would believe that?"

"If we take you back and interrogate you for ages, it'll not only waste time, but it won't sound good if word gets out."

Hu Liu is telling the truth.

If you go to a place like this and your spending exceeds a certain amount, you're likely to be the subject of intense scrutiny.

"That's true."

Su Mu made a decisive decision.

He walked to the window and pulled it open.

The height of the second floor is no different from going down a step for his current physique of 50 points.

A cold wind blew in, making his blue shorts flutter loudly.

He stepped one foot onto the windowsill, his silhouette appearing exceptionally dashing and unrestrained in the night.

"Come on, son."

"Okay, Dad!"

Su Shixing excitedly responded and stood up as well, imitating him.

Hu Liu couldn't help but laugh at the two lovable father and son.

She strode forward, took a plain black card out of her pocket, and handed it to Su Mu.

"Brother, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm actually the owner of this club."

"Keep this platinum card. From now on, when you and your son come here, you'll get a 30% discount on all your purchases."

She winked at Su Mu, exuding charm.

"Remember to come find me."

Su Mu took the card and waved it at her with a flourish.

"Jump!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the father and son jumped into the air.

Two figures drew clean arcs in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

Unharmed.

The father and son straightened their clothes, held their heads high, and swaggered down the street amidst the astonished gazes of passersby.

When he went in, he was preoccupied with his own thoughts, and there was a rift between father and son.

When we came out, we were clear-headed and intimately connected.

hum-

Su Mu's phone vibrated in his pocket.

He took it out and saw it was a bank text message.

【您尾号6688的储蓄卡帐户于2月26日22:15分，入帐1,000,000.00元，当前帐户余额为2,000,521.34元。】

hiss!

One million! It really arrived in my account!

Su Mu looked at the long string of zeros and felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

I never expected to make a net profit of one million from this trip!

Just as the father and son disappeared around the street corner.

Across the street not far away.

A girl in a school uniform with a pure and innocent appearance was staring in disbelief at the window on the second floor of the club.

Beside her, a woman with a voluptuous figure followed her gaze and asked in confusion.

"Jianxi, what's wrong? What are you looking at? You're completely lost."

The girl rubbed her eyes and spoke uncertainly.

"Auntie..."

"I think I saw my classmate... jump from the second floor of the clubhouse."
