Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation
Chapter 47 I Don't Want to Be a Manipulator 5
In Lin Hua's house next door, inside a room.
Lin Hua patted his wildly beating heart and muttered, "My God, Aunt Su is getting scarier and scarier!"
He still felt lingering fear when he recalled what he had just witnessed.
When he first moved here, he saw a pretty little girl standing there expressionless, carrying a heavy schoolbag.
It looked as cute as a life-size doll, instantly melting Lin Hua's heart.
From then on, Lin Hua was filled with curiosity and affection for this little neighbor.
Lin Hua was incredibly enthusiastic back then, and he would give Su Su food every time they met.
He would take out his treasured snacks to share, and watching Su Su eat them filled Lin Hua with joy.
Once, while shopping with a friend, he saw a hair clip that would be perfect for Su Su, so he bought it as a gift for her.
The hair clip was delicate and small, inlaid with sparkling crystals that shimmered with a mesmerizing light under the lamp.
When he took out the hair clip, Su Su couldn't take her eyes off it; her eyes were full of surprise and longing.
However, she refused.
Lin Hua was filled with doubt, completely baffled as to why Su Su would refuse such a beautiful hair clip. In his opinion, the hair clip wasn't expensive, and they were practically friends! Lin Hua was filled with confusion and disappointment.
However, Lin Hua still insisted on giving it to Su Su. He felt that such a cute hair clip should belong to Su Su.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Su knocked on the door soon after and started scolding him.
Aunt Su spoke harshly, accusing him of leading Su Su to indulge in frivolous pursuits and that he deliberately looked down on them and couldn't stand to see them doing well.
Lin Hua was utterly innocent; he never expected to be scolded like this. Left with no other option, he had to call the property management.
After finally persuading Aunt Su to go back, Lin Hua learned about the kind of life Su Su's younger sister was living after the property management explained the situation.
It turns out that Su Su had always lived under Aunt Su's strict control, without any freedom or happiness.
A wave of sympathy washed over Lin Hua. He began to understand Su Su's refusal and gained a deeper understanding of this seemingly cute little girl.
However, after Lin Hua tried to help Su Su a few times, Su Su helplessly advised him to stop interfering. And every time Aunt Su saw him, she would glare at him and start scolding him.
Helpless, Lin Hua could only silently watch over Su Su from the sidelines. Su Su was so adorable and charming, and her innocent appearance stirred a strong protective instinct in Lin Hua. He really wanted to take Su Su back with him and love her like his own little sister.
When the holiday was approaching, Lin Hua had a vague feeling that Su Su was acting a little strange.
Back then, whenever Aunt Su went out, she would go on and on praising how hard-working and ambitious her daughter was, and how obedient and well-behaved she was.
Hearing these words, Lin Hua felt only annoyed and didn't pay much attention to Su Su's unusual behavior.
However, during the few days he stayed in the rented room, Lin Hua could always hear faint crying coming from next door. The crying was so pitiful that it aroused his pity.
Strangely enough, he didn't hear Aunt Su's familiar roar during this time.
A terrible thought suddenly occurred to Lin Hua: could Su Su have been beaten by Aunt Su? The thought made Lin Hua's heart ache as if gripped by an invisible hand.
Today, while he was hanging clothes on the balcony, he heard Su Su's heartbreaking cries again.
Through these days of observation, Lin Hua discovered that Su Su seemed to be forced to study every day, without even a moment's rest.
Lin Hua was filled with resentment. How could a mother be like this? Didn't she know how much pain this would cause Su Su?
Filled with worry, Lin Hua tried hard to distract herself.
He kept telling himself that Su Su and Aunt Su were biological mother and daughter, so nothing serious should happen. He was just an outsider and shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
So Lin Hua opened his phone and started scrolling through videos on the Shark platform, trying to use the diverse content to dispel his worries.
Suddenly, he accidentally clicked into a live stream.
In the live stream room, a beautiful and refined female host was smiling as she said that lucky bags could be entered into a prize draw.
Lin Hua acted impulsively without thinking and clicked on it subconsciously.
After he placed his order, he realized that he had actually won.
Lin Hua stared blankly at his phone screen, but his heart was still preoccupied with Su Su next door.
Watching the female anchor on the live stream connecting with the winner for fortune telling, and surprisingly, the results of each prediction seemed to be accurate, Lin Hua suddenly realized that he had unintentionally entered a fortune telling live stream.
However, after thinking it over, Lin Hua realized that he didn't have anything worth calculating.
However, the female anchor who was on the line with him said gently, "You can think about it again. It can be about yourself or the people around you."
Upon hearing this, Su Su's image inexplicably appeared in Lin Hua's mind.
"Can I be considered my neighbor's younger sister? I want to know when her grades will improve enough to get first place, is that okay?"
An uproar immediately erupted in the live stream room, with some saying that Lin Hua was wasting his time!
Moreover, they all expressed that it's uncertain when their grades will improve, and it could happen at any time.
Lin Hua shook his head firmly and began to tell everyone about Su Su and her mother.
However, the anchor frowned slightly. "You mean, that little girl listens to her mother very well, stays up late studying every night, and hasn't rebelled yet?"
"Could we call the police?" Lin Hua asked, somewhat surprised. "Really? This aunt wasn't like this before. Since the start of summer vacation, she's made my younger sister stay up all night studying. Sometimes, even when I'm playing games until midnight, I'll see the light on in her room."
The anchor said thoughtfully, "May I see them first?"
Lin Hua hesitated for a moment when he thought of Su's mother's harsh face. But as soon as he thought of the lovely and pitiful Su Su, he mustered up his courage and knocked on the door.
At this moment, Su Su, who was at home eating potato chips and watching her mother study, heard a knock on the door. She glanced at her mother and received a warning look from her, so she got up to open the door.
Mrs. Su was extremely excited. She was certain that it must be that nosy boy from next door who had come.
Thinking of this, Su's mother felt a surge of secret joy. Haha, she felt that she could finally be free.
As soon as Su Su opened the door, Lin Hua greeted her warmly.
"Hi, Aunt Su!" Su Su frowned and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Hua's eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "Oh! Auntie, I came to see Su Su. Last time she asked me to buy her some reference books. If you don't believe me, you'll see."
As he spoke, Lin Hua quickly stuffed a large stack of math materials into Su Su's arms.
Su Su looked down and couldn't help but twitch her lips. She thought to herself, if she hadn't gone to university, she would have been completely fooled by Lin Hua.
"Auntie, may I see Su Su?" Lin Hua looked at Su's mother with anticipation.
After a moment of silence, Su's mother finally nodded. "Yes, come in!"
Seeing Lin Hua's surprised expression, Su Su remained indifferent.
"Anyway, if I don't let you in, you'll sneak in through the balcony anyway, so why make it so complicated?" Su Su muttered to herself.
No matter what, the female lead has to deal with the villain! Or should I take matters into my own hands? Forget it!
Lazy Su Su weighed the options in her mind and decided to be a lazy bum, leaving the troublesome things to the female lead!
"Su Su, Lin Hua is looking for you!"
Su's mother came out of the room, pushing Su Su's body while her eyes were filled with tears.
Before Lin Hua could react, Su's mother suddenly hugged him and cried extremely pitifully, "Brother Lin, help, help! Mom can control people and won't let me sleep, waaaaah!"
Su's mother hugged Lin Hua tightly, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam, a sight that broke everyone's heart.
Lin Hua was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. He gently patted Su's mother's back, trying to soothe her emotions.
Su Su stood to the side, a helpless expression on her face, seemingly already used to her daughter's behavior.
"Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with Su Su lately? She's always like this. I wonder if it's because she's under too much pressure!"
Su Su smiled and pulled her mother away, her face showing a nonchalant expression, yet seemingly concealing some deeper meaning.
Her movements seemed gentle, yet they were irresistible to Su's mother, who could only obediently return to continue her studies.
Looking at the worry on Aunt Su's face, Lin Hua felt a bit absurd.
"You've seen it all, you should go back now! Don't disturb my daughter's studies!" After Su's mother returned to her room, Su Su's tone towards Lin Hua carried a hint of impatience and warning.
Lin Hua was about to say something; his lips moved slightly, as if many words were welling up in his heart.
However, upon hearing the announcer's voice on his earpiece telling him to leave, he swallowed his words.
Lin Hua eventually turned and left silently.
