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

Sister Wang was really in a bit of a dilemma right now.

She glanced at Su Muna's face, then at Shang Xiuyan beside her, feigning modesty:

"Oh dear, this has become quite a mess..."

"Brother, what do you think I should say, or not? After all, this is one of those little tricks your wife used back then... cough cough, little tricks."

Before Su Mu could even speak, Shang Xiuyan beside him was already extremely anxious.

She practically lay down inside the cash register, her hands clasped together.

"My dear sister! My dear sister! Please tell me!"

"I don't have any other hobbies, I just love hearing this kind of gossip! If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Please, I beg you~~

This girl is absolutely irresistible when she acts cute.

Su Mu remained silent.

He just watched Sister Wang perform quietly.

Although there was a smile on her lips.

He counted silently in his mind.

five.

Four.

three.

We haven't even counted to two yet.

Sister Wang finally found an outlet.

"Hey! Look at this child, how eager he is to learn!"

"Since the child insists on listening, how could I refuse? I'm just a soft-hearted person; I can't bear to see my child suffer!"

have to.

Su Mu sneered inwardly.

He knew it.

Sister Wang's mouth is like the waistband of a cotton-padded trouser, so loose it's impossible to stop.

She finally got the chance to tell the secret she'd kept for twenty years.

Seeing that Su Mu did not object, Sister Wang completely let loose.

She leaned forward, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously:

"Hey bro, do you remember what happened before you two officially got together?"

"It was during my sophomore year, around autumn."

"That time in my supermarket, you caught your wife stealing, and I even had to search her in public?"

Su Mu frowned slightly.

Of course he remembered that.

That was the turning point in his relationship with Jiang Yiyao.

It was after that incident that the two began to cross paths and gradually became a couple.

Sister Wang chuckled.

"Actually... I was just acting like you!"

"What?!"

Before Su Mu could react, Sister Wang dropped another bombshell.

"Jiang Yiyao, that girl, was originally a part-time employee at my supermarket! We're so close we're practically inseparable!"

"She had planned this with me beforehand that day. She said she had her eye on you and wanted you to be her hero so she could develop feelings for you..."

"So, that whole scene was directed and acted by her!"

What!

Su Mu remembered.

The scene from twenty years ago became incredibly clear as Sister Wang spoke.

……

……

Twenty years ago, in the same supermarket.

Back then, the supermarket wasn't as bright as it is now, and the shelves were packed full.

He was just about to grab a packet of instant noodles when he heard a heated argument coming from inside.

"I'm telling you! Don't give me that nonsense!"

Sister Wang was younger back then, and her voice was louder.

She stood with her hands on her hips, pointed at the nose of a girl in front of her, and spat far away.

"You little brat! You're going to turn out badly, aren't you?"

"You look decent enough, but your hands are so shady? You dare steal from my supermarket? You're asking for trouble!"

The girl who was scolded was Jiang Yiyao.

At that time, Jiang Yiyao was wearing a faded white shirt with an oversized school uniform jacket over it.

Her hair was simply tied in a ponytail, revealing a cool and aloof face.

But at this moment, his face was filled with grievance and panic.

"I don't……"

Her voice was trembling, and her eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"I really didn't steal anything..."

The supermarket was quite crowded at the moment, mostly with students shopping.

Everyone gathered in a circle, pointing and discussing amongst themselves.

"Hey, this girl is pretty, why is she stealing?"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Nowadays, girls are very vain."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the world is going to the dogs."

Su Mu stood on the periphery of the crowd, holding two yuan in his hand, his brows furrowed.

At that time, he and Jiang Yiyao were just nodding acquaintances. They played together when they were young, but they separated when they went to high school.

Seeing this, he felt that Sister Wang was being a bit aggressive, but he didn't intend to meddle.

After all, who knows what the truth is these days?

What if they actually stole it?

As long as you didn't steal anything, a body search will prove your innocence and that's it.

Su Mu shook his head and turned to leave.

The less trouble, the better.

But the moment he turned around, the argument behind him suddenly escalated.

Sister Wang's voice was shrill.

"You think you can just say you don't have it and then you don't? Do you think I'm blind?"

"If you don't have it, then how come the things in my supermarket just disappeared for no reason?"

"You took it! I've been watching you for ages!"

Jiang Yiyao was forced to retreat step by step, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"Then go ahead and look for it! If you can't find it, you have to apologize to me!"

Sister Wang was furious.

"Hey! You brat, you dare talk back to me?"

She pushed him forward suddenly.

"I'll tell you what a load of crap!"

"You want me to search you? Fine!"

"Today, in front of all these classmates, I'm going to strip you naked and search you thoroughly!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Su Mu stopped in his tracks.

He looked back.

Jiang Yiyao was wearing a thin shirt, and her chest heaved violently with fear and anger, making the white shirt bulge.

That innocent face was now filled with despair.

A body search in public?

Do they want to take off my clothes?

That's outrageous!

This isn't catching a thief; it's blatant insult!

Su Mu's anger flared up instantly.

That proprietress is going too far!

Just then, a male student in the crowd finally couldn't stand it anymore.

That guy was wearing thick-rimmed glasses and looked quite refined.

He mustered his courage and stepped forward, blocking Jiang Yiyao's path.

"Boss, that's going a bit too far..."

"Let's talk business, how can you..."

"Bang!"

Before the guy could finish speaking, Sister Wang kicked him.

That kick landed squarely on that guy's calf.

"Ouch!"

The bespectacled man screamed as he was kicked back several steps, landing hard on his backside, his glasses flying off.

The entire room fell silent.

No one expected that the proprietress would be so strong in combat, and she attacked without warning.

.....

After kicking the person, Sister Wang didn't even glance at them before turning around and slapping them across the face.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap was particularly jarring in the quiet supermarket.

Jiang Yiyao covered her face, completely stunned by the blow.

Five bright red finger marks instantly appeared on her originally fair cheeks.

Sister Wang cursed viciously.

"You little bitch! You still have someone protecting you, huh?"

"Alright! Since some people want to see a show, then I'll let everyone watch to their heart's content!"

As she spoke, she pulled a Nokia phone out of her pocket and turned on the camera.

"Not only am I going to search you in public today, but I'm also going to record it and post it on your school forum!"

"Let everyone see what kind of person you are, this so-called school beauty!"
