SWNOVELXO 176. Setting Off
Su Qi hung up the phone, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
She had some doubts about the truth of the matter, after all, lungs exploding was too rare. But thinking that her mother had never lied to her since childhood, Su Qi felt the credibility was still very high.
She had seen the news before. A middle school student’s lungs exploded after losing more than a dozen ranked matches in Honor of Kings. At that time, she thought it was a joke.
She never thought that one day, it would actually happen to her own family.
She knew her father had a bad temper, but it shouldn’t be to the point of exploding. According to her mother, it was from getting angry playing chess with Uncle Zhao next door!
Although Su Qi hated her father, after all, he was a close relative. Even if you break a bone, it’s still connected to the tendons. She was really worried.
Her palm-sized little face was full of sorrow. At this moment, she just wanted to hurry home and see her exploded father.
Officer Zhang Ru and Su Siyang saw Su Qi walking over a bit dejectedly. What’s the situation???
The little girl was a bit gloomy, the corners of her mouth unhappily pouted. Her pair of innocent eyes were also full of dejection, making people think she was an unwanted kitten!
Although Lu Ran didn’t let Su Qi tell Su Siyang about this matter, Su Qi felt she still had to tell her brother. She was afraid that after she went home, when Su Lujun saw her transformed into a girl, his newly mended lungs would explode again.
And compared to herself, her father still liked the third and fourth brothers a bit more.
“Brother, do you know? Our dad exploded?” Su Qi said timidly.
Zhang Ru: ???
Su Siyang: ???
The scene fell into an awkward silence for a moment. Su Qi then realized that she hadn’t expressed herself clearly and added, “Brother, I’m really not joking. Dad’s lungs exploded from playing chess with someone!”
Su Siyang thought of his father who was roaring like a lion when he spoke to him just now. Where did he look half-injured!
He guessed it was a good idea from his mother. Lungs exploding, what a creative excuse from Mother.
But thinking carefully, it was really something his father could do. After all, his temper was really too big.
He was about to laugh, but when he met Su Qi’s sad eyes, Su Siyang, as an actor, quickly entered the state. His brows furrowed deeply, his whole face sank, looking very depressed. He said in a low voice, “No wonder Dad’s temper has been much better recently when I called him. So that’s what happened.”
Hearing this, Su Qi’s eyes instantly became like an opened faucet, misty with moisture. She originally had some doubts about her father’s situation, but after her brother’s act, she really believed it to be true.
Officer Zhang Ru glared at Su Siyang without a trace. How could this guy still deceive a child?
However, she had no intention of exposing Su Siyang’s little scheme. After all, Yang Ming’s case was going to court recently. If the ID card wasn’t processed, it might put this little girl in the spotlight!
Looking at the tearful, pitiful little girl, Officer Zhang Ru sighed. She just felt that this little girl was too easily fooled, making people even more worried!
“Then I’ll go home now! Brother, are you going home?” Su Qi wiped away her tears and asked.
Su Siyang was very conflicted. If he said he wasn’t going back, wouldn’t that prove that his father was fine and he was lying, wouldn’t that make her feel bad?
But if he went, thinking of Liu Qi already agreeing to that endorsement for him, a celebrity still needs to maintain their reputation!
Just as he was hesitating on how to explain, he heard his sister say with a sobbing tone, “Brother, you’re still busy tonight, don’t go back! If you go back, Mom will definitely think I told you!”
Officer Zhang Ru was stunned watching from the side. This operation, she really sold herself out and even helped others count the money.
She even considerately let her brother not have to think of an excuse.
Thinking of Su Qi’s stunning intelligence when reciting earlier, Officer Zhang Ru just felt that God was fair. When he opens a door for you, he will definitely close a window!
Su Siyang, with his acting skills, said with a very sad expression, “Alright, then I’ll send you to the station now. I’ll go home to find you first thing tomorrow morning. You help me check on Dad first.”
Hearing Su Siyang say “you”, Su Qi remembered that Officer Zhang Ru was also going back to Zhe Province. Wait, something seemed off.
Seeing the little girl lost in thought, trying hard to use her brain, Officer Zhang Ru finally felt a bit relieved. Looks like she still has some judgment ability!
Su Siyang was also very flustered. But because he was an actor, he maintained a calm face in a crisis, still with a worried and melancholic expression for his father.
But he was extremely afraid at this moment.
With such a precious little sister, he had just gained some favorability!
He was afraid that the little scheme of deceiving Su Qi to go home to cooperate with his mother would be exposed and turn negative.
At this moment, he wanted to complain: Why did Mom also have to join this mischief after Dad made a fuss? Can’t this couple calm down a bit? Why do they have to insist on letting Su Qi go home today, can’t they wait a day?
Su Qi looked at Officer Zhang Ru, thinking of the initial plan. Su Siyang would drive the three of them back to Zhe Province after filming the movie.
That also means brother has no activities tonight. But mother just said he has an event tonight, and indeed Su Siyang has an event, but it was indeed added last minute.
Mother Lu Ran also didn’t let Su Qi tell the news to Su Siyang, so the question is, how did Mother know about this event?
The timeline doesn’t match!
Just as Su Qi was about to ask these doubts, Director Zhang walked over with a smile and said to Su Siyang, “I just told Lu Ran about your event tonight. Do your best tonight, work a bit hard. Go home tomorrow!”
Officer Zhang Ru looked at Su Siyang chatting idly, then at the little girl who had returned to a worried state.
Didn’t you notice anything else strange? Like lungs exploding???
This kind of illness is very strange, isn’t it?
Little did she know, she hadn’t seen Su Lujun. If she had, she would definitely think it’s not surprising for this illness to appear on him.
Although Su Siyang couldn’t accompany the two back home, he did call them a special car. As for why a special car, it was because Su Qi’s ID card couldn’t be used, so she couldn’t go to the train station or bus station.
Su Qi looked at the estimated price of 1,850 yuan and felt this was the most expensive car ticket she had ever taken.
The time was about 6 hours. As if by fate, it was still the driver who looked very professional from before.
The driver also felt it was quite fateful. He put the two’s luggage in the trunk.
“When you get home, send me a message, okay? Help me take care of Dad! I’ll be over first thing in the morning. If you need anything, give me a call!” Su Siyang instructed Su Qi before the car left.
Officer Zhang Ru looked at this scene and just felt it was very hypocritical. As expected of an actor, one trick after another. In Su Qi’s blind spot, she rolled her eyes at him.
Looking at this silly little girl again, the police still subconsciously sympathized with the weak. Officer Zhang Ru only felt more worried about this little girl. And I have to say, this crying and clingy little appearance is really cute.
With that, Su Qi finally set off on the journey home…
