However, Su Jiu didn't refuted, "It's your fault. If it weren't for you, Zhao Shoumin wouldn't have taken over that project, and my father wouldn't have fainted because of those people. Now, he's lying in a hospital bed!"

"Is your so-called unselfishness to put father in the cart?"

It was impossible that Su Ke'er didn't know what kind of person Zhao Shoumin was, but she asked her father to give him the project.

In this world, she only had her father. She had left home for three years, but when she came back, she did not expect that there would be a possibility that she would never see her father again.

Su Ke'er was frightened by Su Jiu and staggered, subconsciously hiding in Shen Jun's arms.

Shen Jun frowned and hugged Su Ke'er. "Su Jiu, Ke'er did that because she cared about the family. She didn't expect Zhao Shoumin to be so cruel. Besides, she is not so mature as you that she may be irrational sometimes. Su Boyi is also her father. She does not want to see things become like this.

The man said calmly, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction towards her. Su Jiu slowly looked up and forced herself to meet the man's eyes.

This was the first time in three years that she had heard him call her by her name. Earlier on, she did not even dare to look at his face, but he was able to rebuke her without any scruples.

Three years had passed, and she had been gone for three years. However, when she saw him again, she would still feel sad. There seemed to be a needle pricking her heart, and it hurt so much that she could not breathe.

He had always believed in Su Ke'er and protected Su Ke'er, but he had never believed in her or protected her.

Even when she needed him most.

Therefore, he would not put himself in her position to think that Su Ke'er's weakness would bring her endless pain.

He only felt that she was ruthless and cold.

Shen Jun's words pierced her heart like a knife, but her feelings were not revealed at all. Su Jiu walked to Su Ke'er step by step in her ten-centimeter high heels and whispered in her ear, "tell your uncle that if anything happens to my father, he will be prepared to pay with his life."

Su Ke'er was already in Shen Jun's arms. With Su Jiu's words, she went weak at the kneels, and Shen Jun held her harder.

"Sis, sister ... No. He's my uncle!"

Su Ke'er grabbed Shen Jun's sleeve, her eyes full of helplessness and grievance. Su Jiu wanted to say something more, but Shen Jun immediately frowned and stopped her. "Su Jiu, don't go too far. Don't scare Ke'er!"

She scared Su Ke'er?

Her father was lying on the hospital bed, whose chance to live is uncertain. There was also a case of homicide, and Zhao Shoumin, the perpetrator, was still at large. Did they want to see her father die?

Her pretended not to be angry as she suddenly smiled, while her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness.

"You'll know whether it's scaring or not. And Ke'er, how can you have sex with Shen Jun when you're so weak?"

Su Ke'er's face was red with shame. Shen Jun also felt that he had been humiliated. Su Jiu smirked and turned to walk out.

"Jun, what should we do now? Will something really happen to my uncle?" Su Ke'er looked at Shen Jun with tears in her eyes, as if he were her only hope.

Shen Jun did not dare to look Su Ke'er in the eye. His mind was still filled with Su Jiu's figure.

Her face was still as beautiful as ever, as if the time had never passed on her.

Shen Jun casually dealt with Su Ke'er and said, "Don't worry, the most important thing now is money. Even if she finds ZhaoShoumin, it won't help without compensation. If she wants to support the project, she needs money."

Su Ke'er's eyes lit up instantly. "Jun, I heard that the Zhou family has a son who is thirty-two years old and has not married a wife yet. Mrs. Zhou is very worried about that. If we give her a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou will definitely help us."

"You mean ... To marry Su Jiu into the Zhou family?"

There was a member in the Zhou family called Zhou Hao. It was said that Zhou Hao was very short-tempered and no one dared to marry him.

Su Jiu ...

Su Ke'er seemed to know Shen Jun's thoughts clearly. She leaned against Shen Jun and said coquettishly, "Jun, I've seen young master Zhou before. He's a very gentle person. I think that the rumors about him were spread by some people who are not be able to marry into the Zhou family. Besides, Su Jiu is my sister. If I want to protect my uncle, I won't harm her."

Shen Jun was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Su Ke'er's voice became more and more aggrieved. "Jun, do you want to see my uncle go to jail?"

Shen Jun couldn't stand the look on Su Ke'er's face. He patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Su Jiu was walking alone on the road. It was June, but she felt inexplicably cold. She looked around at the cheering crowd, and suddenly felt that city was so strange to her and she was so out of place.

All these years, because of her work, she had been to many places by herself and had tried to avoid going back to City A. Because of her avoidance, they had not met each other face-to-face like today for three years.

Shen Jun was obviously selfish and not worth thinking about, but she still felt pain in her heart. She still remembered him and did not dare to face him and face her feelings for him in the past.

Su Jiu went into the alley and suddenly saw a bar. For some reason unknown, she went inside.

Lights blurred. On the dance floor, many people were dancing with the music. Su Jiu picked up the liquor that had just made on the bar counter and drank it without hesitation.

"Miss ..."

Before the bartender could finish, Su Jiu took out a wad of money and threw it on the table. She continued to drink another glass.

She drank one glass after another of neat whiskey. She did not give herself any chance to think about her father or Shen Jun. She just drink as quickly as she could.

She could pretend to be strong in front of Shen Jun and act fearless in front of everyone. However, she could not lie to herself and could not tell herself that she was really good.

A dozen or so glasses of whiskey, Su Jiu finished them all in less than five minutes. Even the bartender can not bear to see that and said, "Miss, it's easy to get drunk when you drink like this."

Su Jiu shook the empty glass in her hand, her beautiful eyes slightly raised. "Is the whiskey here made of water?" I don't feel drunk. Give me the strongest liquor you've got!"

The bartender hesitated for a moment, but Su Jiu insisted. He had no choice but to made the wine and quickly pushed it in front of Su Jiu. "This is called forteformer, our hit drink here. Only one drink and you will..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Jiu picked up the glass and downed it in one gulp. The pungent taste penetrated her entire body and she instantly woke up, but in less than three seconds, she felt as if she had been anesthetized.

Su Jiu leaned on the table and subconsciously took out her phone. However, when he touched her pocket, she found a business card.

"If you need help, make the call here."

Twenty hours ago, a man said the same thing to her. Even if he wasn't lying to her, how could he help her in City A?
