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

Jiangcheng University, broadcasting room.

Su Mu leaned back lazily in his broadcasting chair, his fingers lightly tapping the mixing console, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

More than a decade ago, he was also a regular at this broadcasting studio.

Every afternoon, he would play rock music from that era, recite poetry, and occasionally sing a few love songs while holding his guitar.

Back then, there was always a shy little girl from elementary school who would stand outside the broadcasting room window every day, secretly listening to him sing.

As soon as he looked up, the girl vanished in a flash, like a startled mouse.

I don't know what happened to that girl after that.

Those were truly carefree and youthful days.

Su Mu pulled his wandering thoughts back to the important matter at hand.

He made up with his daughter.

He went to great lengths to secure this opportunity.

Not only did they ask Xia Qingwu for help in smoothing things over with the school, but they also borrowed five million yuan from her for activity expenses.

They were even forced to sign a series of unequal treaties, the most harsh of which was that they had to go back to their hometowns.

It's not easy.

Su Mu looked at his daughter's shocked and speechless face on the monitor and couldn't help but grin.

You little rascal.

Did you think you could hide in the library and your dad wouldn't be able to find you?

Innocent!

Your father will always be your father.

Su Mu cleared his throat, skillfully adjusted the microphone, and began to speak slowly in a magnetic voice:

"I apologize for disturbing your precious study time."

Let me introduce myself first.

"I, Su Mu, am thirty-eight years old this year."

"A well-known entrepreneur."

"Currently, I own a property in Jiangcheng worth ten million yuan, paid for in full, and have ten million yuan in personal savings."

Divorced, single.

The voice just fell.

The study room instantly erupted in chaos.

Su Zhiling's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

This old Deng...

What's he doing here?

Would you like to find a spouse on the dating show "If You Are the One"?!

She turned to look at Shang Xiuyan and shouted in a low voice, "Stepmother, look at him! Has he gone mad?!"

Shang Xiuyan looked on with admiration: "Wow, the baby's dad is so direct..."

The surrounding classmates were also talking about it.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Is this a new matchmaking program the school has launched?"

"You know what, these conditions are great! Thirty-eight years old, in the prime of life, owns a house and has money, I don't want to work hard anymore!"

"Go away, go away, we don't even know if he's handsome or not."

On the radio, Su Mu's voice continued, carrying a sense of helplessness born of hardship.

"At my age of 30, I earn over 600 yuan in interest every day just from my savings."

"If a person goes to a foot massage parlor every day for a massage and eats a good meal, they can't possibly spend all that money."

"Plus, I'm also quite handsome, so rich women always want to treat me to meals. Before long, I had even less money to spend."

These words are like stabbing a knife into the heart of every poor student who is struggling to make ends meet.

The hatred level instantly reached its maximum!

Su Zhiling wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground right then and there.

Shame!

What a shame!

The male students in the study room had already started swearing.

"Damn! This guy's just trying to stir up trouble!"

"I'm devastated, guys. My monthly living expenses are only 1,500 yuan, and he's charging 600 yuan in interest every day?"

"To kill someone is to destroy their spirit!"

Just as the crowd was getting excited, Su Mu's voice suddenly changed, becoming low and melancholic.

"You must all be very envious of my life, right?"

"Money and freedom."

"But……"

I am not happy.

He paused, giving everyone time to process what he had to say.

"Yes, I am not happy."

"In my thirties, I'm all alone. Returning to that empty house, all I see are cold, lifeless walls."

"We're divorced, and my son and daughter are as distant as strangers to me."

"Walking down the street, watching other families of three enjoying each other's company, I... I can only go to the club alone to seek a sliver of false warmth."

"I used to laugh at the ancients who tried to find their sword by marking the boat, but how could they possibly succeed?"

"It wasn't until I pushed open the wooden door of the empty old house time and time again that I realized I was also that fool."

"I often wonder, can money really buy everything?"

In the broadcasting room, Su Mu clutched his chest, his expression one of extreme pain.

Of course, it was an act.

But these words are three parts truth and seven parts falsehood; the mix of truth and falsehood is what makes them so moving.

really.

The restless crowd in the study room gradually quieted down.

The students who had just been criticizing him for flaunting his wealth were now silent.

Some of the more sensitive female students even looked at them with sympathy.

So... he was a pitiful person.

What good is having money if you don't even have a complete family?

Su Zhiling was also stunned.

Shang Xiuyan, who was next to her, had already reddened her eyes instantly. She pulled out a tissue and wiped away her tears while sobbing.

"Waaaaah... This is so touching..."

"Doubao, listen to this, how pitiful the child's father is."

"He's all alone in that huge house, with only money to keep him company... It's so heartbreaking, so incredibly heartbreaking..."

Su Zhiling's lips twitched violently.

Only money to keep me company...

Why does that sound so irritating?

Su Mu composed himself, his voice filled with even deeper guilt.

"I'm standing here today not to show off anything."

"I just wanted to... say a few words from my heart to my daughter."

"Daughter, I know you might be listening."

"I've been sorry for you for the past eighteen years."

"All I see is work and making money. I always feel that the more money the better, and I greedily believe that there will never be enough."

I neglected to spend time with you.

"I forgot, I never went to a single parent-teacher conference when you were a child."

"I forgot, you've been afraid of the dark since you were little, while I'm always working overtime until late at night."

"I forgot, your favorite things are singing and dancing, not science."

"Even... even something as important as filling out your college application, I forcefully made you change your favorite major."

"So, you still won't call me 'Dad' even once, and I think... I deserve it."

Every single word struck the softest spot in Su Zhiling's heart.

At this moment, all the grievances and resentments she had deliberately buried seemed to find an outlet.

original……

He knew all of that.

Su Zhiling's eyes reddened without her realizing it.

My nose tingled, and tears almost welled up in my eyes.

That bastard... at least he has some conscience.

She sniffed, and a crack quietly appeared in the solid defenses in her heart.

perhaps……

After three days, call him "Dad".

Just as Su Zhiling's emotions were about to completely break down, the tone of the voice on the radio suddenly changed!

"So! To make up for the terrible mistakes I made in the past! And to feel the warmth of family again!"

"I, Su Mu, am here today to launch a 'Hidden Fatherly Love' campaign!"

The event will be held in the school's central square!

"I hope that all the students here can do me a favor and go to the square to call me 'Dad'!"

"I want to relive the warmth of family."

The study room erupted in uproar.

"Tch, turns out it was performance art?"

"Is this guy crazy? Is he obsessed with his daughter?"

"Who would bother calling you 'Dad' for no reason?"

The initial feeling of being moved that Su Zhiling had just experienced vanished instantly.

She knew it!

There's absolutely no way Old Deng could be that serious!

Su Mu seemed to have anticipated this reaction, and he calmly dropped a bombshell.

"I know this request is a bit abrupt."

"But as I said, I have ten million in savings. Money has lost its meaning for me, and I don't want it anymore."

"To win back my lovely daughter, to show her my sincerity!"

"I hereby declare!"

"Today! Anyone who comes to the central square and sincerely calls me 'Dad' will be rewarded!"

"Everyone can receive a brand new Huawei Mate 80 phone on the spot!"

"I actually have a selfish reason. I know my daughter is shy and can't bring herself to say it."

"I want to ask everyone to use your enthusiasm to encourage her, so that she can also call out 'Dad' in the crowd!"

"so!"

"Who shouted the loudest! The most emotionally! The most uniquely!"

"I'll also give him an extra folding flagship phone!"

.......

After saying that...

Su Mu hung up the phone and stretched comfortably.

He did this not on a whim, but to kill three birds with one stone.

First, let his daughter see his sincerity.

Women are creatures that crave what you lack most.

What does my daughter lack most right now?

A sincere apology.

A typical apology is too cheap and insincere.

But an apology that costs tens of millions is a different story.

His daughter had no idea that he was now quite wealthy. In her eyes, this was a gamble that would bankrupt him, and his sincerity was off the charts.

Second, daughters at this age don't have high demands for material things, so giving them luxury cars or lavish gifts is completely useless.

And now he's spending millions just to hear her call him "Dad."

What a profound and unwavering fatherly love!

The little girl would be so moved that she'd burst into tears and throw herself into his arms, crying and shouting.

Three...

Young people can't save money; they have to spend it as soon as they have it.

Consider it a small contribution to social and economic development.

Su Mu took a sip of goji berry tea and smiled.

My dear daughter, I don't know if you can handle this move from your father!

........

In the study room.

A deathly silence.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, wondering if they were hallucinating.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Holy crap!!!

Someone was the first to react and let out a deafening roar.

Immediately afterwards, the entire study room went completely on fire!

"Huawei Mate 80?! Really?!"

"It costs over five thousand yuan! You think you can just give it to me by calling me 'Dad'?!"

"Let's go! Hurry to the central square! It'll be gone if we're late!"

"Daddy! Daddy, I'm here!!"

"Don't push me! That's my dad!"

The college students who had just been looking down on Su Mu now had bloodshot eyes and looked like madmen.

They threw down their pens, closed their books, and rushed out of the study room like madmen.

The scene was comparable to a zombie apocalypse!

Su Zhiling and Shang Xiuyan were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

They watched helplessly as their classmates transformed into dutiful sons and grandsons, rushing headlong toward the central square.

The entire campus erupted in cheers at that moment!

"dad--!"

"dad--!!"
