IHWL – Chapter 97.1

Chapter 97: Dirtbag Father (Part 1)

    After Su Jishi received a call for help from Fang Xie, she immediately went downstairs and drove towards the TV station.

    On the way, she gave Gao Ling a call. She asked him to send three trustworthy people to her and let them go directly to the TV station.

    Gao Ling was stationed in the country all this time, so he was so busy that his feet hardly landed on the ground. Today, he finally went to bed early to catch up on sleep, but the Lady Boss called him up from bed.

    Gao Ling was so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were stuck together. He yawned and asked, “There are people available, but why do you need them, Miss Su?”

    Su Jishi replied, “To beat someone up!”

    “What kind of person?”

    “A dirtbag!’

    Gao Ling instantly woke up: “If you’re talking about this, then I won’t be sleeping, ah!”

    Su Jishi didn’t have time to explain to him. She pressed her foot on the accelerator, and sped off, her mind almost completely empty.

    And in her blank mind, a phrase was repeatedly playing —— How could that man have the nerve to come back?

    ……

    When they were young, Mr. and Mrs. Su were a couple everyone admired. However, they didn’t fall in love out of their own free will, but were matched with the help of their parents.

    Mother Su was an elementary school associate teacher. She taught art, taught crafts, and occasionally filled in for the music teacher for a few lessons. Her personality was rosy and naive. In that era, Father Su was already holding a secure job for a decade. He worked as a not-so-high mid-level leader in a state-owned enterprise, and his monthly salary was three times that of Mother Su. He was handsome and dashing, and countless girls pursued him.

    The two of them got their license after only three dates, and felt happy at the time. However, after starting a family, their conflicts became increasingly pronounced.

    Su Jishi still remembered that when her father didn’t come home, her mother would take her and her sister to the park to sing and dance; but whenever her father was home, the air pressure at home would instantly drop to a minimum. Even breathing smoothly was a luxury.

    In the years after her parents’ divorce, she lived a muddled life.

    It was as if time had come to a standstill, and all that was left was a dark, cramped room; but at the same time, time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye she put on her wings and flew to America.

    Su Jishi hated her father, and she desperately wanted to escape from him. She still remembered the moment she received her admission letter. The light she had longed for so long finally shone on her again.

    However, when Father Su learned that his daughter was going abroad to study ‘Geology’, he was so angry that he hurled all the pots and pans in the house and cursed: “Study-study-study-study, learn shit!!! I didn’t train you to go overseas to mine!!! How much can you earn from this?! You’d better behave yourself, take the college entrance examination seriously and study a normal major —— It’s best for a girl to be a teacher, just like your mother…”

    “Shut up!!!”

    Everything would have been fine if he didn’t mention Mother Su, but once he mentioned her, Su Jishi’s anger completely ignited. Su Jishi grew up stubborn. She and her father fought all night, and the next morning, she packed her bags and left.

    Before stepping out of the door, Father Su pointed at her nose and scolded, “If you have the guts to step out of this door, never come back! I won’t care about your school fees. I don’t have you as a daughter anymore!!”

    Would Su Jishi be afraid?

    Of course she wasn’t.

    So from that day on, the eighteen-year-old Su Jishi was left alone.

    Su Jishi never regretted her decision. She even thought that running away from Father Su was the best thing she had ever done in her life.

    The shadow of that man had faded in her memory —— But just when her life was moving towards the light, he came out of the gutter again, like a maggot on the bone, sticking in the feet of the two sisters.

    ……

    In the parking lot outside the TV station, Fang Xie opened his arms, like a hen protecting his little chick, and blocked the unkempt middle-aged man in front.

    “Mr. Su, Mr. Su … please calm down!!!” Fang Xie warned, “If you come any closer, we’ll call security!!!”

    However, Father Su wasn’t at all threatened. Like a brute bull, with round eyes and nostrils spraying air, he roared randomly and rushed forward.

    Fang Xie was in great distress, because Father Su didn’t come alone. Behind him were the paparazzi he had called over. They were waiting to take pictures of Su Jin’s agent’s action against Father Su with their cameras held high. They were like hyenas that had sniffed the smell of flesh, desperately wanting a piece of Su Jin’s flesh, so that they could decorate their own pages.

    Fang Xie was cursing inwardly, but he forced himself to give Father Su a smile. He was seeking to use civilized means to get rid of this old yakuza.

    To be honest, Father Su himself had a commanding appearance. He was in his fifties, but he was slender and lacked a hunchback. He was wearing a set of worn shirts and trousers, with a yellowed collar. He had a clear mind, eloquent speech, and a shrewd glint in his eyes.

    If looking only at his appearance, he resembled a civilized man, but his heart was dark, even worse than the rats in the stinky ditch.

    Ten years ago, he was lured by a few words, threw away his work in the government and engaged in sea business. As a result, all his life savings were drained into a pit. He went to the country where birds didn’t shit and hid from debt for several years. It was only recently that he saw Su Jin’s news on TV.

    Although he hadn’t seen his daughter for years, as a father, he immediately recognized that Su Jin on TV was played by two people in turn!

    He didn’t know and didn’t want to know the reason for this. He only knew that with this secret, he could definitely make a lot of money!

    A few months ago, Father Su set foot into Huanchen Company for the first time. He sat down in the lobby, calmly took out the photo of the four members of his family, took out the birth certificates of the Su sisters and laid them on the table, and asked to meet Su Jin’s agent.

    Fang Xie came with fear and trepidation.

    Fang Xie at first thought that Father Su was here to recognize his relative —— But the bastard took a sip of tea and asked for two million in hush money.

    Fang Xie was furious.

    The agency bargained with him for a long time and finally gave him only one million. The two parties agreed on the condition that Father Su couldn’t reveal the Su sisters’ affairs to anyone after taking the money. Father Su agreed to do so pronto.

    Who would have thought that a week later, Father Su would come back?! He took what he promised as a fart. He then asked for five million. Not only that, he also threatened that if they couldn’t meet his demands, he would expose this material to the media! He was the sisters’ biological father. As long as he exposed this secret to the public, everyone would believe him!

    Su Jinqing didn’t expect that her biological father would do such a wicked thing. She specially met him, wanting to talk about it calmly.

    As a result, Father Su didn’t spare her a glance, and even stabbed her in the heart: “If you’re my daughter for a day, you’re my daughter for life! If you don’t spend your money for me, who else can you spend it for? Could it be for your short-lived mother??”

    Su Jinqing never imagined that he would be so shameless as to insult her biological mother!

    She firmly disagreed with the agency about giving him another penny, but Father Su was far more shameless than she thought and directly called the paparazzi to block her outside the TV station.
