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

Lin Zhiting coughed twice from the choking, but did not move away.

Instead, he reached out and waved the smoke in front of him, then leaned in and gave Su Mu a hard kiss on his stubble-covered face.

"Trojan horse~"

The sound was crisp and clear.

"Uncle, you're bad~"

"But... men look really cool when they smoke."

boom!

On the other end of the screen, Guo Rong felt as if something had exploded in her mind.

That's her precious daughter!

From childhood to adulthood, she was not allowed to smell even cooking fumes at home, and the air purifier was kept on 24 hours a day, for fear that even a speck of dust would dirty her lungs.

She was such a delicate flower, carefully nurtured, and now this greasy middle-aged man has sprayed her face with secondhand smoke?!

And she even said he was handsome?!

She wants to kiss him too?!

Guo Rong felt her blood pressure soaring at 180 miles per hour, and her heart pounding as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

She gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Don't act impulsively.

Guo Rong, you can't act impulsively.

Getting angry now will only push your daughter further away.

This is her rebellious phase; she's getting revenge on you.

You need to stabilize the situation and get the people back first.

She suppressed her rage, her voice icy.

"Su Mu".

"Although we don't see each other often, Yao Yao and I have known each other for over ten years, so we're practically old friends, right?"

Su Mu leaned back in his chair, a cigarette between his fingers, and shrugged indifferently.

"I suppose so. What's wrong, Professor Guo? What advice do you have?"

Looking at his nonchalant attitude, Guo Rong wished she could crawl up the internet cable and strangle him.

Do you think what you did today was ethical?

Guo Rong attempted to use her moral high ground to launch a devastating attack.

"How old are you? How old is my daughter?"

"You're a highly educated person, how can you lure a naive college student like that? Doesn't your conscience bother you?"

Su Mu was amused.

He flicked his cigarette ash, looking surprised.

"Morality? Professor Guo, you're talking to me about morality?"

"How much does this stuff cost per pound?"

"I think it's great. It's about love between a man and a woman, and it's consensual."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Lin Zhiting and reached out to pinch her face, which was full of collagen.

"Hey, honey, are you eighteen yet?"

Lin Zhiting immediately nodded in agreement.

"It's full. I just had my birthday last month."

"I'm an adult now, and the law allows me to do whatever I want."

Su Mu spread his hands, looking completely innocent at the screen.

"That settles it."

"As adults, we have the right to make our own choices."

"Professor Guo, you should understand this principle better than I do."

"you!!"

Guo Rong was so choked by this sentence that she almost fainted.

That bastard!

That scoundrel!

She gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening.

"Su Mu! We're all parents here!"

"You have a daughter who's about the same age as her, right?"

"Put yourself in their shoes. If someone treated your daughter like that, could you accept it?!"

"Even if my daughter is over eighteen, she's still just a child! How could you do that?!"

Su Mu's smile grew even brighter.

Could you bring yourself to do it?

That's definitely possible.

"Professor Guo, your statement is biased."

"So what if you're eighteen? Eighteen is so young! Your skin is so tender, you could squeeze water out of it."

"What man in this world doesn't like an eighteen-year-old?"

"I call this being devoted; I'll always love the 18-year-old."

If it were the old Su Mu, he would definitely feel guilty and be stumped if questioned like this.

But it's different now.

He has a system that allows him to return to his youth at any time, making his physical age younger than Lin Zhiting's. In all things, he's the one who's at a disadvantage!

Guo Rong trembled with anger at Su Mu's arrogant and unyielding attitude.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh.

If the hard approach doesn't work, then try the soft approach.

Then let's awaken the last shred of conscience he has left!

"Su Mu..."

Guo Rong's voice trembled slightly.

"Eighteen years ago..."

"You visited Zhiting at the hospital when she was born."

"She was so tiny back then, still in swaddling clothes, and you even held her!"

"You even said back then, 'This child is really pretty; she'll definitely grow up to be a great beauty.'"

"Looking at the child you once held, how could you... how could you do something so beastly?!"

"Have you fed all your sense of propriety and shame to the dogs?!"

He spoke these words with tears streaming down his face.

Jiang Yiyao, who was standing next to her, was moved as she listened, recalling those years.

But upon hearing this, Su Mu revealed a look of sudden realization.

"Oh? Is that so?"

He turned to look at Lin Zhiting, his face beaming with a smile.

"Isn't this fate?"

"Don't you think so, baby? If I held you when you were little, can't I hold you now that you're grown up?"

"It'll be even warmer to hug when they're older."

"It's so soft, the feel is completely different, don't you think?"

Lin Zhiting shyly punched his chest, her voice sweet and reproachful.

"Ugh, how annoying!"

"Where is she bigger?"

"Uncle, you're so mean~"

......

Guo Rong was so angry that she was trembling all over. She pointed at Su Mu on the screen, her lips quivering, unable to utter a single word.

"You! You! You!"

She talked for a long time, but couldn't come up with a clear answer.

Su Mu, however, gave her no chance to catch her breath.

He slowly pulled two brand-new hard-pack cigarettes from under the table and slapped them on the table with a light but firm "thud".

"What do you mean, 'you'? You're not done yet."

Su Mu pointed to the two packs of cigarettes and grinned at the camera.

"These two cartons of cigarettes were bought for me by my precious daughter."

"They said it was to show their filial piety."

"It was her living expenses, five thousand yuan."

"She has no money left and didn't even have lunch."

"Professor Guo, you wouldn't want your precious daughter, whom you cherish so much, to go hungry with an old man like me, would you?"

"Okay, now, immediately, transfer 30,000 yuan to me via WeChat."

"I promise she'll never go hungry."

These words were spoken with such confidence and conviction that even extortion was conducted in a refreshingly unconventional way.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiting couldn't help but chuckle. As soon as she grinned, she met Su Mu's gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Su Mu remained expressionless.

"He's baring his teeth again."

"Slap him in the face."

Lin Zhiting's smile froze on her face instantly. The next second, she raised her hand without hesitation and slapped herself hard across the face.

The force was considerable, and a faint red mark immediately appeared on her fair and tender face.

She didn't care at all, and instead acted like an obedient girl saying, "Uncle, I was wrong."

boom!

This slap felt like it landed squarely on Guo Rong's heart.

Guo Rong, watching this scene unfold on the other side of the screen, was completely dumbfounded.

My own daughter...

My own daughter, whom I wouldn't even dare to say a harsh word to...

Now, this man's words have actually made him obediently hit himself?

This isn't just being scammed, it's being cursed!

She became a simp!

Even Wang Baochuan, who stayed in her humble dwelling, wasn't this sycophantic!
