NOVEL NEXT Chapter 61: Didn’t you say we are out of money that day? (3)
See? I am such a tender mother compared to him.
Su Ran couldn't help but thought that when she watched a kid over 20 years old being chased after and beaten by his own father in the middle of the street.
She turned her head and was just about to give her villain son some sort of a lecture when she noticed the odd look on Su Han as he stared at the father and son due; or more specifically, the son that was being beaten.
“Do you know him?”
Please say no.
Instead of the dirtbag, Su Ran would rather Su Han knew the male lead, Song Yi’an.
“No, I don’t know him.”
While they were talking, the father and son duo had run toward Su Ran and Su Han.
“I am going to beat you to death, you like punk. You were supposed to be watching over the shop, but you stole money from it and went and goofed off somewhere else? I shall beat you to death!”
“Owww! Don’t! Dad, I didn’t goof off! I promise!”
“If you didn’t, why did you steal from the shop?”
“Really. I took… no, I borrowed some money from the shop to buy something.”
“You are still lying to me?!”
“Ow, ow, ow! That hurt! Really! I went to my part time job! I am telling you the truth!”
He was so innocent!
A month ago, he got himself a little girlfriend in the English corner of N University. Her birthday was in two days’ time and she had been asking him for this bracelet of a specific brand.
The money from this shop wasn’t even to buy a knock off one from Taobao, so he needed to go get a job at a construction site.
But his father wouldn’t believe him!
“Now you are just making that up!”
“I didn’t make it up! If you don’t believe me, you can… hey, it’s you!” As he was talking, the man suddenly noticed Su Han standing there.
“Great. Kid. You, you, you. Come, you can be my witness.” The man started getting closer to where Su Ran and Su Han were as he talked.
“I am teaching you a lesson, why are you bothering these people?” said the shop owner, displeased.
“No! I am telling you that I went and got a job. This kid was there too. He can tell you!” said the man as he pointed to Su Han.
“Are you talking about him?” The shop owner looked at Su Han in disbelief. The kid in front of him looked way too young.
“Yes! Him! There was a demolition project going on on Jianxing Road, and they were hiring temporary labor so I went. This kid was there too. I was just thinking that he looked so familiar!”
Having said that, he turned and gave Su Han a hopeful look. “Right, kid? We came face to face with each other that day. You saw me, right?”
The man’s intention was for Su Han to be his witness, but all he saw was Su Han looking at him with his expressionless face.
The longer it went on, the less confident he was.
“I’ve never been there and I don’t know you,” said Su Han. His look was about as serious as it could be.
“I knew it! You little punk! Trying to just grab some random people on the street to fool me! Now tell me! Did you go gambling?!”
……
Seeing that the father and son duo had entered into the second round of their battle, Su Ran took Su Han by his hand and left.
As honest as Su Han had looked. Su Ran had already spent a few days with her villain son, and she had some ideas about him.
She could tell from one look at Su Han that what the man said was most likely the truth.
“Why did you need to go work at a construction site?” asked Su Ran, her tone stern for a change.
Did Su Han feel that she was too irresponsible and that they might starve to death one day or did he worry that she would give him up again?
“……” Hearing that, Su Han bit his lower lip but finally never said a word.
“Didn’t you promise me before that….”
Before Su Ran could finish her sentence, Su Han finally interrupted her and said, “Didn’t you say we are out of money that day?”
