Chapter 135 A sister who would do anything for love is better off without.
The crimson sunset, like a thin veil, gently enveloped the Su family's house. As usual, Su's mother was busy in the kitchen, the clatter of pots and pans filling the air with the warm and cozy atmosphere of everyday life.
Suddenly, a sharp scream shattered the silence.
"Mom! What's going on?"
Su Su's terrified scream made her mother's heart clench. Without bothering to turn off the still-sizzling stove, she hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron and rushed out the door.
The sight before her left her frozen in place.
The front door looked as if it had been swept by a malicious storm, with mottled red paint flowing freely, winding out shocking "scars" on the white wall.
What's even more disgusting is that there are also a lot of obscene words written crookedly between the paint, and the vulgar words look particularly ferocious in the twilight.
Su's mother's finger trembled as she pointed to the wall, her lips quivering. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "What do you mean? Su Lin, it must be her boyfriend."
Her voice was filled with anger, mixed with deep helplessness and fear.
"Move! Move immediately!" Mr. Su, who was at work, was also disturbed by the commotion outside and hurriedly put down the documents in his hand and rushed out.
As soon as I stepped out the door, a strong, pungent, fishy stench hit me. It was the stench of paint mixed with an unknown liquid, making my stomach churn. Just one look at the mess on the walls filled me with a strong sense of disgust, and I just wanted to escape as far away as possible.
Despite his discomfort, Mr. Su frowned and decided to check the surveillance footage to find out who had committed such a heinous act at his doorstep.
But when he looked up, he found that the camera was dangling crookedly, its casing broken, and the wires scattered everywhere—it was Su Lin who had smashed the surveillance camera.
Su's father clenched his fists, his face full of gloom.
The room was brightly lit but filled with a sense of panic. Su's mother was like a frightened bird, frantically rummaging through the drawers of the wardrobe, grabbing handfuls of clothes, folding them haphazardly, and stuffing them into the suitcase. As she did so, she shouted to Su's father, "Old Su, hurry up and pack. We're not staying here tonight; we're going to a hotel."
"It's so late..." Mr. Su frowned, his words filled with hesitation. He looked out the window at the night sky, which was already stained with darkness, his heart filled with helplessness at the sudden disruption of his life's rhythm.
"It's better to be late than dead. Anyway, I won't acknowledge her anymore. You can acknowledge her if you want. I still have Su Su."
Su's mother's voice rose a few decibels, revealing a resolute tone.
In her eyes, Su Lin was now like a demon possessed, behaving strangely and outrageously. She really didn't want to have anything to do with such a daughter anymore.
Looking at Su's mother's angry and resentful expression, and then at Su Su's trembling body like a frightened fawn, Su's father felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible hand.
"Dad! I'm scared. Did my sister offend someone? She seems to be skipping school a lot lately."
Just then, Su Lin's homeroom teacher, Ms. Li, called.
They inquired about Su Lin's recent behavior, noting that she was frequently skipping classes, and urged her father to talk to her.
When Su's father noticed that Su Su and Su's mother were staring at him, he became increasingly perfunctory in his responses to the voices on the phone.
Su Su's eyes reddened, tears welled up in them, her voice trembled with sobs, and she timidly tugged at her father's clothes.
Seeing Su Su looking so pitiful, Su's father's heart was touched instantly. He sighed and nodded silently, tacitly approving of Su's mother's behavior.
He knew that his daughter's temperament would change unpredictably as she grew up.
Looking at the current situation, he understands more and more that the only person he can truly rely on and stay by his side is his wife.
Moreover, his eldest daughter Su Lin's recent behavior has already made him uneasy. He really doesn't dare to gamble on whether his younger daughter Su Su will be like her sister in the future, blinded by so-called love, and even hide from her family and pitifully ask him for money to subsidize others.
However, he was tied to his work here and couldn't just leave anytime soon. The house, which had been maliciously "baptized," was indeed uninhabitable.
Su's mother was meticulous and, considering safety, she rented a house near the police station, where the family of three moved in temporarily.
After that, she treated Su Su like a rare treasure, always pulling Su Su aside for long talks, whether about family matters or studies. But whenever the topic turned to Su Lin, she would clench her teeth and refuse to mention her, as if she wanted to completely erase this "rebellious daughter" from her life.
Teacher Li, who was in charge, called many times, earnestly and sincerely trying to persuade Su's mother to pay more attention to Su Lin's matter. However, Su's mother seemed to be determined and remained unmoved by the persuasion, continuing to ignore the situation.
That's why she was completely unaware of the rumors circulating in the school about Su Lin's pregnancy.
The rumors initially spread like hidden flames in the shadows, silently yet rapidly, growing in every nook and cranny of the campus.
"There was a senior in my senior year of high school who used to be at the top of her class and was incredibly successful. Who would have thought that she would start dating a local hoodlum and her grades would plummet like they were going down a slide? And now it's even more outrageous; I heard she might be pregnant."
"Huh? How did you know? That can't be!"
"Why not! Look at her, she keeps running to the toilet, and when she comes out she's clutching her stomach, looking flustered, like she's afraid someone will see her. Anyone with eyes can see what's going on."
The students whispered and chattered amongst themselves, their voices rising and falling.
"Which senior is it? Do you know?" The voices faded into the noisy classroom, but Su Su knew perfectly well that they were talking about Su Lin.
In her previous life, Su Lin's pregnancy was not a secret at all. It was just that the original owner was so engrossed in her books that she was oblivious to the outside world and didn't know anything about it.
At that time, the original owner was already living at school, following the rules and procedures, just waiting to go find Su Lin after school. But every time she went to the classroom, Su Lin was nowhere to be found. In this way, by a twist of fate, she missed the opportunity to learn about the rumors.
However, even if the original owner knew earlier, what could she do? No matter how close her sisters were, they couldn't make decisions for their parents. In the end, in other people's eyes, this was not something she should have interfered in.
The classroom was noisy. Su Su sat in her seat, taking a bite of a cookie as if no one else was around. The sweetness spread on her taste buds. She remained calm, seemingly oblivious to the curious or prying glances from her classmates, as if she were completely immersed in her own little world.
"Su Su!" Suddenly, a shout broke her silence. Su Su turned her head in confusion, her eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes questioning.
"Your sister, yeah, do your parents know she's dating?" A classmate leaned over, her eyes gleaming with gossip.
"I know! Mom and Dad are so angry they don't even recognize her anymore!" Su Su wrinkled her nose, pouted, her little face full of anger, and unconsciously turned her body to the side, clearly not wanting to talk about Su Lin anymore.
Seeing that he couldn't dig out any more gossip, his deskmate shrugged listlessly, pursed his lips, and stopped asking.
But just then, Su Lin showed up.
She stood unsteadily at the classroom door, her figure slightly plump, her belly protruding. Passing students looked on in surprise, unconsciously stepping aside to give way, and whispers began to circulate.
However, Su Lin seemed completely oblivious to the strange looks around her and the avoidance from her classmates. She walked straight towards Su Su and said in a low voice, "Su Su, come with me to the rooftop. I have something to tell you."
Su Su shook her head without hesitation, her eyes showing a hint of determination, and said, "I'm not going. Sister, just say what you want to say. Mom specifically told me not to have any contact with you."
Upon hearing this, Su Lin's face instantly contorted, a flash of resentment crossing her eyes. She clenched her teeth, her cheeks puffing out. But after a moment, she forced herself to regain her composure and softened her tone, coaxing, "Little sister, look how hungry I am! Do you have any pocket money? Can you lend me some?"
"Sister, I have some food here," Su Su said, shaking the small bag of cookies in her hand, "but I really don't have any money. My parents don't give me any money anymore, so I can't help it."
"What about the red envelope money you saved for the New Year?" Su Lin pressed on relentlessly, her eyes fixed on Su Su as if she wanted to see right through her and extract the money from her.
