Su Qiu drove the car to the address Liu Xiaolan had given her.

Finally, we stopped in front of a familiar little villa.

This is where the original owner lived before being kicked out.

The red brick wall is covered with ivy, and the pomegranate tree at the entrance of the courtyard is still the same as I remember.

It carries the few "beautiful memories" that the original owner had in his youth, which he thought were his own.

The image of Xiaoxitian popped into her mind, its tone tinged with disdain:

"They really know how to pick a place. They chose this place so that you would be reminded of the 'kindness' you received back then."

And then you'll soften and go back with them? You've got a pretty good plan.

Su Qiu turned off the engine, opened the car door, and glanced at the outline of the villa, saying calmly:

"It doesn't matter. This place was left by his father. Having a meal with them is a way of honoring the remaining thoughts of the original owner."

Little Western Paradise immediately echoed:

"The host has a great vision! He saved so many mission targets, and deep down he is still kind."

Su Qiu rolled her eyes and strode towards the door:

"I admit that you're strong, but in this circle, the word 'kind' is just a label for idiots."

To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

"Yes, yes, yes, the host is absolutely right! These people are wicked, they definitely have bad intentions!" Xiao Xitian quickly corrected himself.

The two chatted casually, discussing how far the plot had strayed from its intended course.

Su Qiu had already reached the courtyard gate.

Liu Xiaolan waited at the door, craning her neck and looking around expectantly.

I saw Su Qiu's car turn into the alley from afar.

She excitedly took a few steps forward, and as soon as the car came to a stop, she rushed forward, her voice trembling slightly:

"Qiuqiu, you've finally arrived! Come in quickly."

His tone revealed his joy at Su Qiu's arrival.

As she spoke, she naturally reached out to take Su Qiu's hand, but Su Qiu subtly avoided it.

Liu Xiaolan's hand froze in mid-air, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face, but she quickly covered it up and smiled as she led her inside.

Xiao Xitian muttered to himself:

"Judging from her posture, she seems quite expectant. Could it be that she has truly repented?"

"Who knows?" Su Qiu walked on without looking to the side. "It's never a bad thing to be cautious."

"Alright!" Xiao Xitian immediately went into alert mode.

The two walked into the living room side by side, Liu Xiaolan saying as they went:

"Your father knew you were coming, so he started preparing food early this morning."

I specially made some of your favorite dishes. Today, let's enjoy them together, just the two of us.

In the living room.

Su Guowei was coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron. When he saw Su Qiu, he put on a warm smile and was holding a spatula in his hand.

It seemed a bit rushed:

"Qiuqiu is here, please sit down, the dishes will be ready soon."

After Su Qiu sat down.

Liu Xiaolan took a necklace from the jewelry box next to her and handed it to her.

The chain is set with tiny diamonds that sparkle under the light.

"Qiuqiu, this is a gift we picked out for you. See if you like it."

Judging by its quality, it's worth at least tens of millions.

Xiao Xitian: "Wow~ You're so generous! You're really showing off!"

Su Qiu didn't take it, but just glanced at it indifferently.

Seeing that Su Qiu didn't take it, Liu Xiaolan awkwardly put it back, saying, "Mom will put it away for you. You can take it with you when you leave."

The food was served quickly.

The table was laden with dishes, many of which were things the original owner often ate in his/her memories.

Su Guowei urged her to start eating, "Qiuqiu, hurry up and try it, is it still the same as before?"

Dad hasn't cooked in a long time; his skills probably aren't as good as they used to be.

He closed his mouth.

Su Qiu hesitated to reach out, her gaze sweeping over the dishes on the table before she calmly asked:

"Could something have been put in here?"

Liu Xiaolan and Su Guowei turned pale and exchanged a glance.

Without saying much, he picked up his chopsticks and tasted a little of each dish, his actions conveying a sense of eagerness to prove himself.

"Qiuqiu, look, there really isn't any..." Liu Xiaolan's voice was a little aggrieved.

"We wouldn't do something so stupid. You're the one we raised, how could we do that?"

Su Guowei also said, "Yes, Qiuqiu, look, we've all eaten, it's fine."

Su Qiu then picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of sweet and sour pork ribs.

The sweet and sour taste spread on the tip of the tongue, and it really tasted like the original owner's memories.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaolan quickly and carefully placed a piece of green vegetable on her plate:

"Eat more of this, it'll help cool you down."

"Thank you," Su Qiu said politely, her tone devoid of emotion.

Su Guowei chimed in, "Eat as much as you like. If you want to eat it again anytime, come over and Dad will make it for you."

Little Western Heaven popped up again: "Host, I think they've really repented this time. Look how sincere their attitude is."

Su Qiu chewed the food in her mouth and said casually:

"So what if they repent? That's what they owed the original owner, and they should repay it. I don't owe them anything."

The couple listened to her distant words, their faces filled with guilt and heartache.

Liu Xiaolan's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion:

"Qiuqiu, we were wrong before, we were blind, we wronged you... I'm so sorry."

Su Guowei also sighed:

"If only we could go back to the way things were before... Even if you don't want to go back to the Su family, we still want to keep in touch and know how you're doing."

Su Qiu continued eating, "There's no need for further contact."

After this meal, our relationship will end here.

Everyone knows what you did in the past.

A few apologies aren't enough to solve this. If apologies were effective, the police would be out of a job.

Upon hearing this, both of them fell silent, their eyes dimming.

Of course they knew how outrageous their actions had been.

Whatever they say now is just sophistry, and Su Qiu will no longer believe them.

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became heavy.

Halfway through the meal.

Su Guowei took a document from his study and pushed it in front of Su Qiu:

"Qiuqiu, these are company shares, consider it our compensation to you..."

We know we were wrong; we haven't fulfilled our responsibilities as parents. You must accept this.

It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal.

Su Qiu picked up the pen, ready to sign the document.

Just as the pen tip was about to touch the paper.

"call out!"

A very faint whooshing sound rang out!

Su Qiu felt a sudden chill run down her spine as a strong sense of crisis gripped her heart!

At the same time, Little Western Heaven emitted a sharp, explosive sound: "Host, be careful!!"

Su Qiu practically lunged to the side on instinct!

pity.

It was still too late.

"Pfft—"

With a muffled thud, the bullet broke through the air resistance and struck her chest precisely!

A sharp pain instantly swept through his body, and the warm blood quickly soaked his clothes.

A striking red stain spread across a light-colored shirt.

Su Qiu groaned, her body swaying as she looked down incredulously at the wound on her chest.
