I pinched my waist and petted him, and I was made to cry by the ruffian Third Master.

Yu Sheng eventually found out about Su Hao's situation. On the day of the trial, she and Jiang Gezhi appeared in the court.

Seeing Su Mian and Su's father getting out of the car, Yu Sheng walked up to her with heartache and hugged her tightly.

"Mianmian, why didn't you tell me?"

Yu Sheng's voice was tearful. She really couldn't imagine how much pain and pressure Su Mian had endured during this period of time, but he never said a word to her.

Su Mian gently patted Yu Sheng's back and comforted him with a smile: "I'm really fine, don't worry about me anymore."

Yu Sheng raised her head, her eyes were red at this moment, and she said solemnly: "No matter what happens in the future, you must tell me the first time, do you hear me?"

Su Mian nodded vigorously, with a faint smile on her face: "Yeah, I promise you, I will do it in the future."

The result of the trial was no surprise and exactly what everyone expected. The three thugs all got the punishment they deserved and were sent to work on sewing machines.

After the trial, Yu Sheng suggested to Su Mian that they go to the bathroom together, and asked Su Mian to wait for her at the entrance of the court for a while, as she had something to say.

However, when Yu Sheng came out of the bathroom, he found that Su Mian, who was supposed to be waiting there, was nowhere to be seen.

She was extremely anxious and quickly took out her cell phone and dialed Su Mian's number. The call was quickly connected after ringing a few times.

"Little fish."

The familiar and gentle voice entered Yu Sheng's ears, making her feel a little relieved.

Yu Sheng couldn't wait to ask: "Mianmian, where are you? Why didn't I see you after I came out..."

Before she could finish the rest of her words, someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind. A pungent smell rushed into her nostrils. Yu Sheng felt dizzy, her body gradually became weak, and she soon lost consciousness.

On the other side, Su Mian heard Yu Sheng's words halfway through when she heard a busy tone on the other end of the phone. She was startled and a bad premonition came to her mind.

She called back immediately, but heard a cold tone on the phone: "The user you dialed is turned off."

Su Mian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she felt that something was wrong.

She quickly contacted Jiang Gezhi and told him what had just happened.

Jiang Gezhi, who was waiting for Yu Sheng in the car, looked very serious after hearing this. Without saying anything, he strode towards the court entrance.

However, when he arrived at the door of the court, he found that there was no one there, only Yu Sheng's dropped mobile phone lying alone on the ground.

Jiang Gezhi's heart sank; he knew something had happened.

He quickly took out his mobile phone, contacted relevant personnel, and looked for nearby surveillance videos, hoping to find some clues.

Su Mian was also restless at home. She was very worried about Yu Sheng's safety, but at the same time she had to take care of her father who was emotionally unstable.

She held Su Zhengguo's hand tightly, a trace of worry appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Dad..."

Su Zhengguo raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and comforted her: "Dad is fine, don't worry."

After hearing his father's words, Su Mian's uneasiness was slightly relieved and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Zhengguo continued, "Those bad guys have been caught, and I have finally given an explanation to your brother."

Su Mian didn't understand the deep meaning behind these words for a moment, and just smiled and responded: "Dad, let's take my brother home quickly."

However, Su Zhengguo shook his head.

Su Mian looked at his father in confusion: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Su Zhengguo smiled and explained, "Dad finally came to Kyoto this time, but he hasn't had a chance to tour around. Can you take Dad around?"

Su Mian heard this and smiled happily, nodding in agreement: "Okay, of course no problem!"

That day, Su Mian took his father to visit famous attractions near Kyoto.

Along the way, Su Zhengguo always maintained a happy mood with a happy smile on his face.

He held the camera and kept taking pictures of Su Mian, recording every beautiful moment.

During this process, Su Mian's phone rang many times, all of which were calls from Shen Zhou.

Su Mian simply chose to ignore these calls. She was even worried that Shen Zhou would keep calling and cause her phone to consume too much battery, so she simply added his number to the blacklist.

After the unpleasant incident last time, Su Mian and Shen Zhou completely lost contact and the two never met again.

Su Mian still clearly remembers that Shen Zhou angrily declared that he would never look back once he left.

If that's the case, then why does he keep calling himself now?

Su Mian stared at the unfamiliar incoming number on the phone screen, hesitating, but finally chose to answer the call. "Hello."

Shen Zhou's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mianmian, where are you? Can we meet?"

Su Mian's tone was very cold: "Didn't we agree not to look back?"

"This is the last time, let's meet again. Tell me where you are and I will find you."

Facing Shen Zhou's request, Su Mian's heart could not help but ripple, but she still answered firmly: "Shen Zhou, let's not meet."

After saying that, she hung up the phone without hesitation.

At this time, Su Zhengmin noticed that Su Mian mentioned Shen Zhou's name, and a little worry appeared on his face. He asked with concern: "Mian Mian, is it Xiao Shen who called?"

Su Mian nodded without saying anything.

Su Zhengmin sighed softly and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Su Mian with a smile: "Dad, we should be happy when we go out to play! Don't mention irrelevant people. Let's take the cable car up the mountain first. Please wait here for a while. I'll go buy the tickets."

After saying that, Su Mian smiled slightly, walked briskly towards the ticket office, and joined the queue to buy cable car tickets.

When we reached the top of the mountain by cable car, it was already evening and the sun was setting.

Su Mian stood quietly beside the guardrail of the observation deck and asked a stranger passing by to take a photo of her and Su Zhengmin.

When he saw the warm photo of the father and daughter in the camera, Su Zhengmin smiled with satisfaction and nodded gently, saying, "Well, it's a great photo."

"Dad, let's go to the ancient town tomorrow." Su Mian suggested with a smile.

Father Su smiled happily and replied, "Okay."

In the next few days, Su Mian accompanied Su Zhengmin as they strolled among various scenic spots.

Wherever he went, if he met like-minded peers, Su Zhengmin would stop and chat with them.

He would brag about his precious daughter to those uncles and aunts. When they learned that they were from the same place, they would exchange contact information and make plans to go fishing together in the future.

Su Mian silently watched Su Zhengmin's current condition and felt relieved.

She once worried that her father, devastated by her brother's incident, would never recover, but the reality was quite the opposite.

Not only did Su Zhengmin recover well, but the nursing home also said he was ready to be discharged.

After Su Mian picked Su Hao up from the nursing home, she planned to take Su Hao's ashes back to her hometown the next day.

The day before leaving Kyoto, Su Mian tried to call Yu Sheng, but the phone was always turned off.

Worried, she contacted Jiang Gezhi again and heard from him that Yu Sheng had gone missing.

Su Mian was eager to get more information, but Jiang Gezhi hung up the phone in a hurry without revealing much.

At this moment, Su Mian was extremely anxious.

After some thought, Su Mian decided to call Shen Zhou's number again.

The phone rang only twice before the other party answered it quickly. "Hello, Mianmian."

Su Mian said calmly: "Let's meet. Where are you now?"

"I am at home."

"Okay, I'll come find you." As soon as the words fell, Su Mian decisively hung up the phone.

Then, Su Mian came to the door of the small room and knocked on it. "Dad."

When she pushed open the door, she was surprised by the scene in front of her. She saw Su Zhengmin dressed neatly and carefully adjusting his bow tie.

Su Mian asked in confusion: "Dad, it's so late, why are you dressed so formally?"

Su Zhengmin smiled happily and said softly, "I plan to wear this suit when I leave, but I really don't know how to tie a tie."

This tie was a gift that Su Mian carefully selected for him. He has always cherished it and was reluctant to wear it.

This time, Su Mian did not expect that he would take it out so actively.

Su Mian walked forward with a smile and stretched out her hands to help Su Zhengmin adjust his tie.

Su Zhengmin gently stroked his tie, stared at Su Mian with a smile, and asked, "Daughter, does Dad look handsome in this outfit?"

Su Mian also smiled back and nodded vigorously to show affirmation, and replied: "Very handsome, Dad is always the most handsome."

Su Zhengmin smiled and said, "Your mother likes me to wear a suit and tie, but since the family went bankrupt, I haven't worn a suit or tie for more than ten years. In the past, your mother always helped me to adjust my tie."

Su Mian smiled and responded, "Let me help you from now on."

However, Su Zhengmin shook his head and said slowly: "As for me, I still prefer your mother to help me with my tie. After so many years, I have become accustomed to it."

Hearing this, Su Mian's nose felt sore and his voice was slightly choked: "Dad..."

Seeing this, Su Zhengmin quickly smiled and comforted her, "You are already such a grown-up, why are you still crying?"

Su Mian sniffed, holding back tears and replied, "I'm not crying."

Su Zhengmin gently reached out his hand and stroked Su Mian's head, with a loving and kind smile on his face: "My dear daughter is the most sensible, so don't cry anymore in the future, and live a good life."

Su Mian nodded slightly to show that he understood, and replied softly, "Yes."

Su Zhengmin continued, "Aren't you going to see Xiao Shen? Then go quickly."

Su Mian couldn't help but reveal an expression of surprise as he stared at his father.

Su Zhengmin smiled and explained, "I heard everything you said on the phone just now. Go ahead."

Su Mian nodded and added: "I just want to ask about my friend. My friend is missing..."

Su Zhengmin responded: "Okay, got it."

Su Mian nodded again and said, "Then I'll leave now, Dad. I will be back as soon as possible and can return to my hometown early tomorrow morning."

Su Zhengmin also nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Su Mian walked towards the entrance, ready to change his shoes and go out.

She found that her old father's eyes were always on her, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

This indescribable strange feeling made Su Mian feel confused, but she couldn't tell what went wrong.

Su Mian showed a smile on her face, breaking the brief silence: "Dad, why are you looking at me all the time?"

Seeing this, Su Zhengmin laughed and said gently, "Daughter, will you come back for dinner tonight? Daddy will make you something delicious."

Su Mian looked up at the clock on the wall, thought for a moment and nodded gently: "Well, I will come back to eat."

Hearing this answer, Su Zhengmin immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Okay, then Dad will cook your favorite dish for you!"

"Thanks, Dad. I'll be back soon."

Su Mian responded softly, then turned and left the apartment.

In fact, Su Mian had no intention of seeing Shen Zhou again.

However, she knew nothing about Yu Sheng's condition and was filled with worry.

Shen Zhou and Jiang Gezhi are good brothers, so he must be aware of the situation.

Therefore, Su Mian took the initiative to contact Shen Zhou.

Of course, there was a little thought that even she herself was unwilling to admit. Before leaving Kyoto, she wanted to see Shen Zhou for the last time.

From now on, they will have nothing to do with each other.

Half an hour later, the taxi slowly stopped in front of the Shen family villa.

Su Mian looked out the car window at the brightly lit villa in the distance, and a strong feeling of resistance rose in her heart.

Although she had been to this place twice before, each experience was unpleasant for her.

She stood quietly at the door, hesitating whether to step in, when suddenly, the door of the villa slowly opened.

Before Su Mian could see who was coming, she heard Shen Minzhi's voice: "Xiao Wen, you are pregnant now, so don't run around anymore! If you need any help, just go find Shen Zhou directly."

Zhang Qiwen smiled tenderly and said, "I'm just worried that he's too busy at work..."

However, Shen Minzhi interrupted without hesitation: "No matter how important work is, can it be more important than my wife and children?"

At this moment, Shen Minzhi's gaze accidentally swept across the bottom of the stairs, and his face changed drastically in an instant.

She immediately spotted Su Mian standing there, and asked in a harsh tone, "What are you doing here again?"

Facing Shen Minzhi's questioning, Su Mian acted unusually calm and simply responded, "I'm here to find Shen Zhou."

Shen Minzhi's face was full of disgust and disdain. Her eyes were fixed on Su Mian, as if she wanted to see through her. At the same time, her tone was filled with undisguised contempt.

"Do you still have any shame? You know that my Xiaozhou already has a wife and children, but you still keep pestering me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiwen on the side quickly winked at Shen Minzhi, signaling her to stop talking.

Then he whispered to Shen Minzhi: "Aunt, please go in first. I want to talk to Miss Su."

Shen Minzhi glared at Su Mian fiercely, her eyes full of hostility and resentment. She said, "I'm worried about you staying with this woman alone. What if she does something bad to you? After all, you are carrying the flesh and blood of our Shen family!"

Zhang Qiwen smiled slightly, trying to reassure Shen Minzhi: "Don't worry, aunt, Miss Su is not that kind of person, I believe her. You can go in quickly."

Shen Minzhi listened to what Zhang Qiwen said, but didn't know what to say.

She turned around and walked into the villa, not forgetting to glare at Su Mian fiercely again, and warned her not to mess around, otherwise the Shen family would never let her go easily.

At this time, Su Mian stood quietly aside without saying a word.

After Shen Minzhi returned to the villa, Zhang Qiwen walked up to Su Mian with a smile and asked politely, "Miss Su, are you here to see Brother Shen Zhou?"

Su Mian involuntarily took two steps back and said calmly: "I have something to ask Shen Zhou, but please rest assured, Mrs. Shen, I will never get involved between you and Shen Zhou."

After hearing this, Zhang Qiwen laughed softly: "Intervention? Miss Su thinks too highly of herself!"

When Su Mian heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy.

Zhang Qiwen continued: "Don't you want to know why Shen Zhou suddenly wants to get back together with you and treat you so well?"

Su Mian couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

However, Zhang Qiwen did not directly answer Su Mian's question. Instead, he asked, "I heard that the murderer who killed your brother has been sentenced, right?"

Su Mian couldn't help but feel very surprised: "How did you know?"

As soon as she said this, she realized that she was doing something unnecessary. After all, Shen Zhou knew about this matter, so Zhang Qiwen must have heard about it as well.

Zhang Qiwen asked again: "Aren't you curious about why those three criminals wanted to do such a cruel thing to your brother?"
