Chapter: 2722
Su Ruoli always felt a bit inferior growing up. She had never known her father, and it wasn’t until she turned eighteen that she was finally sent to live with him as a bodyguard. Once at Su’s house, she watched her father, Su Shoudao, show endless love to her sister, Su Zhiyu. Every time she saw them together, a wave of envy washed over her.
Su Shoudao was not just Su Zhiyu’s father; he was her father too. But Su Ruoli couldn’t call him “Dad” or act like a daughter in front of him. He only showed affection when they were alone. When anyone else was around, he switched back to being the strict master of the Su family.
Because of this, Su Ruoli admired Su Zhiyu even more. She saw her sister as a graceful swan, adored by everyone, while she felt like the ugly duckling from the fairy tale. In her eyes, she was stuck as the ugly duckling with no chance to become a swan. In their high-society world, being an illegitimate daughter meant being looked down on. Even though everyone knew they were both Su Shoudao’s daughters, people treated her with scorn, making her feel even more distant from Su Zhiyu.
It hurt that her sister often looked down on her, yet Su Zhiyu still tried to include her. This kindness made Su Ruoli feel warm and grateful. One day, as they held hands, Su Ruoli cried and said, “Sister, if anyone ever bullies you, just tell me. I may not have much, but I can fight. I’ll make sure they regret bothering you!”
Su Zhiyu smiled knowingly and replied,
“Sister will feel better if you say this. In the future, she will have top-notch protection. If anyone tries to bully her again, she’ll ask you for help!”
Su Ruoli nodded enthusiastically.
Du Haiqing, standing nearby, hesitated for a moment but then spoke up. “If you’re with Charlie Wade in the future, you need to manage your temper. Don’t act so violently like you used to.”
Su Ruoli looked down in shame and replied, “Aunt Du, don’t worry. I promise I won’t do anything unreasonable!”
Du Haiqing smiled slightly, satisfied with her response. “Once the trouble in Japan settles down, you can completely change your identity and start fresh.”
Su Ruoli nodded, though she felt a bit lost. Deep down, she knew the truth: because of her past crimes, the Japanese would never stop looking for her. Even if she got a new face and identity, she couldn’t truly escape. Her DNA had already been collected when she was arrested, and that was something she couldn’t change.
She had seen many crime shows where criminals remained free for years, sometimes even decades. They changed their surroundings and identities, and some even altered their appearances. But the police always found them using DNA.
Because of this, Su Ruoli felt like she had only temporarily escaped Japan. The shadows of her past would likely follow her for life.
At that moment, Charlie Wade said, “Aunt Du, Miss Su, you should rest in the room. I’ll arrange for someone to take you away this evening.”
Du Haiqing quickly responded, “Thank you for your hard work, Charlie Wade.”
Charlie Wade smiled gently.
“Everything should be as it is.” Su Zhiyu gathered her courage and called out, “Gongong!”
