CHAPTER 1447: CHAPTER 1448: THIS YOUNG GIRL IS NOT BAD

Seeing Zong Wangyue nod affirmatively, you then spoke: "This issue is a bit rough. Chen Susu, this woman is very troublesome."

"I know, I know everything about her. I even know her first time was with Yu Zixiao’s father, that old bastard who didn’t even spare elementary school kids!" At this point, Zong Wangyue’s fist suddenly clenched tight, his body trembled uncontrollably, "Many people at the school say she’s been with several men, and the reason is all for money! I know, I know it all!"

In his excitement, Zong Wangyue noticed your hand had already placed on his shoulder. When he looked up, he saw there was no trace of ridicule on your face, but instead you nodded firmly to him: "Brother, just say what you want to say, get it all off your chest."

After calming down a bit, Zong Wangyue finally spoke the truth: "To others, everything Susu does is for money, but what’s unknown is, she does it all to repay debts. Her father is a gambling addict and also likes to drink, just like those scenes from TV, her father owed a lot due to gambling. Her mother, unable to bear it, ran off with someone else when Susu was ten years old, leaving behind her and her younger brother by four years. After she graduated from middle school, her father was killed for owing a large usurious debt, and his organs were taken out. Though the lenders didn’t come looking for Susu, her father had long mortgaged the house and borrowed a lot from relatives and friends. To support her brother, and repay the debts, Susu sold herself during the summer vacation of her last year in middle school..."

At this point, tears were streaming down Zong Wangyue’s face, and the soup in front of him had fallen quite a few of his tears.

"Old Shu, you don’t know, she’s been through so much hardship these years. I really want to help her, but every time I try to speak with her, I get harshly scolded away. At that time, she was fiercer than anyone. She said she doesn’t need my pity, but I really wasn’t helping her out of pity. I... I don’t even know what to say, Old Shu, am I a loser?"

"Nonsense!" You immediately glared, face solemn as you looked at Zong Wangyue, "I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter what others think of you. You just need to know there are always a few people in this world who need you. Besides your parents and siblings, there’s one more person, this person will accompany you through old age and to death."

"But, Old Shu, I’ve tried every method I can, and now I can’t even get into her view. There are many rich second-generation pursuing her outside. Though she knows these people are merely playing with her, she’s willing to do anything for money." Zong Wangyue seemed very dejected, tears glistening in his eyes.

You gently patted Zong Wangyue’s shoulder, saying: "Fatty, as brothers, I will always be behind you. Since you truly love her, then go pursue her. They say youth is about rising after falling and running again. Never give up easily; a rainbow without going through rain and wind cannot last long."

While speaking, you noticed Yan Zisu standing beside you. You looked up, smiled, and asked: "Finished with work?"

Yan Zisu nodded.

Your words seemed to have enlightened Zong Wangyue, who stood up immediately, left a sentence "Old Shu, I’m going to see her right away!" and ran out.

You smiled and stood up, said to Yan Zisu: "Let’s go too."

Leaving the noodle shop, you led Yan Zisu along a relatively quiet street. This street has years of history, even the road underfoot is paved with bluestone slabs, with persistent grass sprouting between the cracks from time to time. You and Yan Zisu maintained about a two-meter distance, with little conversation between you.

"Here we are."

Yan Zisu looked up and was a bit surprised, for you had led her to the front of a nursing home.

"This nursing home is as old as this street, most residents inside are over seventy. Many have lost their family members, others have children living far away," saying this you stepped inside.

Yan Zisu followed you into the nursing home, and immediately heard an old man’s hearty laugh: "General! Haha, three wins out of five, tonight the TV remote is mine!"

The talking old man had white hair and childlike features, robust bones. From appearance, he looked full of health; upon seeing you arrive, the surrounding elderly dispersed, some went back to their rooms, others in pairs took walks outside.

Upon seeing you, the old man waved at you: "Little Yunyun is here, come, sit by my side."

You were not polite, you sat right beside the old man, and the elderly saw you brought someone, looked carefully, his voice suddenly heightened: "Ay, Little Ghost Head brought a girlfriend?"

"Grandpa, she’s named Zisu, my classmate," worried that Yan Zisu felt uncomfortable, you quickly explained.

"Haha, hundred taels of silver hidden right here, you little rascal is quite sly, do not think I do not know, but do rest assured, I stand firmly by your side, definitely won’t leak a word to your mother."

As he spoke, the old man winked at you; his posture somewhat resembling your mother’s grace, truly father and daughter!

"Hello, Grandpa." Yan Zisu walked over, politely greeted the old man. Yan Zisu is smart, not following you to call the elderly grandpa but opted for the most common "Grandpa", thus clearing any relation to you.

"Hmm, this girl is nice." The elderly seemed very satisfied with Yan Zisu, "Looks beautiful and knows manners."

Saying so, the elderly reached into his bosom, pulled out a handkerchief-wrapped item, he cautiously unwrapped it, and what was inside was a jade bracelet of green luster. This jade bracelet has top-notch quality and water; if sold in a mall, it would cost at least tens of thousands.

"Zisu, Grandpa has nothing much for you, this bracelet was obtained during my participation in the Vietnam War. Later, I gave it to your Grandma. She left early, so I kept it with me all the while, now I’ve found a new owner for it."

"I-I can’t accept it." Yan Zisu quickly stepped back, distancing herself from the elderly several steps. Her expression was very alarmsome and nervous, evidently first encountering this scenario, showing some helplessness.

"Grandpa, that’s Grandma’s relic, please keep it. As I said earlier, Zisu is just my classmate, I brought her to do weekend work."
