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

Su Zhiling could forgive her roommate, but she could never forgive her unreliable father.

Her face was expressionless, but the words she uttered were anything but polite.

Su Mu rolled up his sleeves, and the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"Hey, you brat!"

"Is he really my biological son? How can you talk to your own father like that?"

"Do you believe I'll beat you up right now?"

Xia Lanlan had just put a plate of dumplings into the pot and was walking out with a slotted spoon when she heard this, so she quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Oh, she's just a child, she doesn't understand. Why are you arguing with her?"

"Quickly, quickly, clear the table, the dumplings will be ready soon."

Su Zhiling glanced at her sideways, a hint of mockery on her lips.

"Still eating?"

"Don't you know how much you weigh?"

"I already have flabby fat around my waist. If I keep eating like this, won't it sag to the ground?"

Xia Lanlan's smile froze instantly.

She subconsciously looked down at her figure, which she was so proud of, and when she looked up again, her eyes were blazing with fire.

"You brat!"

When Su Mu saw that Xia Lanlan had also exploded, he immediately switched sides and began to appease her.

"Oh, children will be children, they speak without thinking, they speak without thinking."

Su Zhiling ignored him completely, refocusing her gaze on Su Mu and turning her attention back to him.

"Old Deng, it's no use pretending to be a good guy now."

"When you get old and end up in the ICU, I'll be the first to pull out your oxygen tube."

"Then they'll inherit all your property, find you twenty spirited young men, and have them dance at your grave every day."

"Play the loudest DJ music ever, and you'll have a blast down there!"

"!!!"

Su Mu felt his blood pressure spike.

He pointed at Su Zhiling and said angrily:

"Hey, what a temper I have!"

"Fuck her!"

Xia Lanlan had already reached her limit. Upon hearing this, she immediately put the basin she was holding on the table, her eyes fierce.

"Fuck her!"

The two hit it off immediately and pounced on Su Zhiling like two hungry wolves.

Su Zhiling never expected that these two adults would start fighting so suddenly, showing no regard for martial ethics whatsoever.

Taking advantage of her strength, Xia Lanlan pounced on Su Zhiling like a hungry tiger, pinning her down on the sofa and locking her legs in a standard armbar.

Su Zhiling was pinned down and unable to move, so she could only open her mouth and curse.

"you……"

Before she could finish speaking, Su Mu swiftly tore off a roll of wide duct tape from next to the fruit plate on the coffee table and ripped it shut, sealing her mouth shut.

The world became quiet in an instant.

Su Mu was still not satisfied, so he found a jump rope and tied her hands tightly behind her back.

After doing all this, he and Xia Lanlan exchanged a glance and clapped their hands in unison.

"Done."

"knock off."

Then the two of them turned around, satisfied, and went back to the kitchen to continue their work.

……

The dinner table.

Shang Xiuyan and Su Zhiling, whose mouths were sealed and hands were tied, stared at each other wide-eyed.

Shang Xiuyan poked Su Zhiling's cheek:

"What are you looking at?"

Su Zhiling: "Waaaaah!" (What are you looking at me for!)

Shang Xiuyan asked again, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Su Zhiling: "..."

She rolled her eyes and turned her head to the side.

Shang Xiuyan suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up.

She remembered that Su Mu was always sighing in the dormitory, saying that his own daughter had deleted him from WeChat.

Isn't this a perfect opportunity to bring it back?

Just do it.

Shang Xiuyan put down her chopsticks and picked up Su Zhiling's phone from the table.

A quick scan of Su Zhiling's face unlocked the device.

She skillfully opened WeChat, found her account, and changed Su Zhiling's nickname for her to "Dearest Stepmother," adding a heart at the end.

Then, on a whim, he opened Douyin (TikTok) and renewed the flame of their friendship.

Su Zhiling: "........"

Shang Xiuyan ignored her completely and ran up to Su Mu, extending her hand.

"Honey, can I use your phone for a moment? What's the password?"

Su Mu was frying the last potstickers with Xia Lanlan when he recited a string of numbers without looking up.

"54088"

Shang Xiuyan got her phone and ran back.

She first opened Su Mu's WeChat, found her account, changed the nickname to "My Dear Wife," and then set it as the pinned chat.

After doing all this, she nodded with satisfaction, searched for Su Zhiling's WeChat again, and sent a friend request.

perfect!

The Great Reconciliation of the Century!

Su Zhiling looked at the friend request that popped up on her phone screen and snorted angrily:

"Waaaaah!" (I haven't forgiven him!)

Shang Xiuyan tilted her head and looked at her with a doting expression.

"Doubao, what did you say?"

"Oh, so you're saying you love your stepmother the most, right?"

She pressed her face against Su Zhiling's, suddenly struck by a terrible illness, and replied in a bubbly voice:

"I love you too, my darling~~"

Su Zhiling shuddered, feeling like she was about to throw up the jelly she had just eaten.

Just then, Su Mu's phone suddenly vibrated.

The screen lit up, and a WeChat message popped up.

Xia Qingwu: Su Mu, the house is all renovated. You can come back and stay tonight.

The smile on Shang Xiuyan's face slowly disappeared.

She stared wide-eyed at the message.

Xia Qingwu?

Who is this?

What do you mean by "...come back to live"?

The combination of these two words is just too ambiguous!

Su Zhiling saw it too and made a gloating sound.

"Waaaaah!" (You've been cheated on.)

Shang Xiuyan replied subconsciously.

"I've been cheated on?"

Su Zhiling angrily cried out, "Waaah!" (Can't you understand me?!)

She really wanted to kick her own brainless stepmother to death.

Shang Xiuyan looked at her phone screen again. To be honest, she wasn't particularly moved.

As long as Su Mu treats her well and has children for her, she doesn't really care about other women.

but……

This doesn't mean she'll do nothing.

Shang Xiuyan moved her finger, opened the chat box with the name Xia Qingwu, and sent a classic emoji.

Even birds don't acknowledge you~

send.

Then, mute the messages.

All in one go.

Shang Xiuyan nodded in satisfaction.

Love needs to be tested and refined!

Creating a small setback for Su Mu and putting their relationship to a test will definitely make it stronger!

I'm such a virtuous wife!

Su Zhiling: "Waaaaah!"

(Aren't you afraid that woman will kill you for doing this?)

Shang Xiuyan curled her lip in disdain.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"If I hide at school, how could she possibly chase after me and beat me up? She doesn't have that kind of power."

She originally intended to return the locked phone, but as her fingertip swiped across the screen, a strange curiosity arose within her.

How many women are hidden in Su Mu's WeChat contacts?

Forget it.

Shang Xiuyan shook her head. She was a woman of principle and couldn't just peek at her husband's phone.

She locked her phone.

The next second, she untied it again.

Sigh, women, they've never had any principles to begin with.

I'll just take a look, just one look, I'm not going to do anything.

Shang Xiuyan comforted herself with these words and opened Su Mu's WeChat chat list.

Slide your finger slowly downwards.

next second.

Her movements suddenly stopped, and her eyes widened abruptly.

A familiar name appeared prominently in the list.

Lin Zhiting.

Her half-sister!

Shang Xiuyan's heart skipped a beat, and with trembling hands, she clicked on the profile picture.

There aren't many chat logs; the most recent one is a video.

Is it a shocking short video?

She took a deep breath and pressed the button.

The screen loads.

In the video, Lin Zhiting is standing in a fire escape, smiling innocently at the camera.
