Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 995 The Su Family's Past

On the other side, Zhao Dong was waiting inside the house.

Seeing someone coming back, he hastily greeted him.

Sophie lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face clearly.

Zhao Dong found that she was not in the right mood, so he hugged her, "What's wrong?"

Sophie wiped the corners of her eyes, "Zhao Dong, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back, and I quarreled with him again..."

Zhao Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then did you win the quarrel or lose it?"

Sophie was depressed, "What time is it, are you still in the mood to joke?"

Zhao Dong pulled the man back to the sofa, pulled a tissue and said, "Look at you, quarrel with dad, and wrong yourself like this, what are you trying to do?"

Sophie tore the paper in two, "I don't know, I just feel unhappy."

"Since I was young, I have tried my best to please him, but I will do my best to do whatever he says."

"But I haven't done anything to please him. No matter how hard I try, he will never recognize me!"

"Really, I really hope that he can treat me as a daughter, but every time, he only treats me as a tool!"

"Using it again and again breaks my heart again and again."

"I know, mom has been blaming me for that incident back then..."

About family affairs, Sophie confided for the first time.

Seeing her sad, Zhao Dong hugged her and comforted her: "How could it be? All fathers in the world love their daughters."

Sophie raised her head and laughed at herself, "Zhao Dong, do you know?"

"After his mother passed away, he burned all the family photos except for the single photo of his mother!"

"Every year on my mother's memorial day, he never let me go with me."

"Until now, I don't even know where my mother is buried. Don't you find it ridiculous?"

Zhao Dong was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a complicated gap between the father and daughter.

He wanted to open up, but it was difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, and he didn't dare to open his mouth without knowing the inside story.

Sophie sighed, and said disappointedly: "I think, sometimes he even regards me as the murderer who killed my mother!"

"Really, sometimes the way he looks at me makes me feel cold and heartless, and makes me very scared!"

"Just because he doesn't like the excitement at home, I don't even have a close friend!"

"I have been afraid of him since I was a child, and I dare not approach him!"

"Sometimes I even think, if I was the one who died in that car accident, how good would it be?"

"In this way, I don't have to live so tired, and I don't have to live in his shadow!"

Zhao Dong asked in a low voice, "But you still love him, don't you?"

Sophie didn't speak.

Zhao Dong hugged him tightly.

No wonder when she first met Sophie, she wrapped herself like a piece of ice.

Growing up in a single-parent family made Zhao Dong especially understand Sophie's situation.

Every child growing up in a single-parent family is like an angel with broken wings. They are rebellious, paranoid, and fanatical.

Just like him, when he was adolescence, he almost went astray.

But he is luckier than Sophie. He has a big brother, Yuanyuan, and many people who care about him.

But what about Sophie?
Zhao Dong held Sophie in his arms, feeling pity and distress.

With the same mind, he could even feel Sophie's feelings for his father.

Heavy, complicated.

For example, during the last operation, she was even willing to let go of her proud dignity to beg that villain Cui Jian.

That was also the first time he saw Sophie so desperate.

But because of her personality, Sophie didn't know how to deal with such a complicated relationship.

Zhao Dong couldn't bear to see her like this, but he had to tie the bell to untie it, so he thought he should have a chat with Su Changtian if he had the chance.

In any case, mother Su's memorial service did not allow her daughter to participate?
It doesn't make sense to do so, and it's no wonder that Sophie has been unable to get over her knot!
Sophie hesitated to speak, "Zhao Dong..."

Zhao Dong asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Sophie swallowed her words, "Forget it...it's okay..."

Zhao Dong tentatively asked, "Do you want me to go and see Dad?"

Sophie didn't speak, as if by default.

Zhao Dong asked back, "You are obviously worried about him, why don't you go there by yourself?"

Sophie was still trying to be brave, "Who is worried about him?"

Zhao Dong sighed, "You are just hard-spoken and soft-hearted!"

"I obviously miss him in my heart, but I still want to quarrel with him. In the end, my father didn't do much, but cried himself out of anger."

"Tell me about you, why bother?"

"Let's go, let's go there together, apologize, admit your mistake, what's the matter?"

Sophie glared, and said forcefully: "If I say no, then I won't. You have to go by yourself, don't pull me!"

Zhao Dong got up, "Okay, okay, then I'll go."

"You obediently wait for me to come back!"

When Zhao Dong left, Sophie squatted in front of the suitcase, and took out a book from the inside of the interlayer.

The pages of the book were turned, and finally a photo that was kept in secret was pulled out.

Photo is visibly faded and wrinkled.

In the photo, she was sitting on a swing, smiling brightly, Su Changtian and a woman with picturesque eyebrows were behind her.

Sophie gently stroked the old photos with her palm, and tears fell down in strings!
……

When Zhao Dong came back from the study, Sophie had returned to normal.

She was too embarrassed to ask, so she just kept silent.

Zhao Dong took the initiative to say: "Dad is fine, he is taking a nap."

Sophie didn't appreciate it, "Why are you telling me this?"

Although she spoke fiercely, her body relaxed obviously, and her eyes softened accordingly.

Zhao Dong didn't point it out, and pulled the man away.

When they reached the kitchen, Sophie said in surprise, "Zhao Dong, what are you doing?"

Zhao Dong explained, "I'll teach you to stew a tonic to nourish your spleen and smooth your Qi!"

Sophie dodged her eyes, "Who is the stew for?"

Zhao Dong grabbed him, "Of course it's you, who else can I give it to? Didn't I just piss you off? Then I have to show it?"

Sophie laughed and said, "You stewed tonic for me, why did you drag me into the kitchen?"

Zhao Dong continued, "Well, this tonic, it can not only smooth the Qi, but also beautify the skin. If you learn it, you can also stew it for yourself in the future!"

Sophie waved her hand, "Forget it, Aunt Mei will teach me a lesson when she sees me going into the kitchen."

Zhao Dong gave her a step, "You don't need to reach out, I'll come, just watch!"

Sophie reluctantly said: "That's okay, Zhao Dong, let's see how you behave!"

The kitchen was busy.

Sophie said that she didn't care, but she kept asking questions, and finally got involved.

……

while having dinner.

Finally, there were no outsiders at the dinner table.

The rules of the Su family have always been like this, don't eat and sleep without talking.

Just as she moved her chopsticks, Wang Ma brought a soup pot from the kitchen, "Master, this is stewed by my uncle and miss this afternoon."

"I heard that it can nourish the spleen and smooth the qi. You should try it."

Aunt Mei's face brightened, "Okay, Xiao Fei has really grown up, when will she learn how to stew tonic?"

Sophie argued, "I don't have it, Zhao Dong stewed it."

Aunt Mei smiled, "Changtian, come here, you have a taste, the children stew it for you."

Su Changtian put down his chopsticks, and the harmonious atmosphere was interrupted by his indifference, "There are no rules, what does it look like to chatter while eating?"

"Children are messing around, and you are messing around too!"

As he said that, he looked at Sophie again, and reprimanded: "The women of the Su family don't go to the kitchen, so what I said, you took it on deaf ears?"

Sophie froze, and the flame of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished by a basin of cold water again!
