I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 328 Farewell to the Past

Whale Harbor.

Su Zhai.

This was the umpteenth time Su Yun woke up from a nightmare.

Her fragile eyelids kept trembling. She sat up, covering her violently beating heart, her forehead covered with beads of sweat.

She had another nightmare.

This time she dreamed that she was pushed into the iron gate by a pair of unknown hands, and those people were frantically tearing her clothes. She tried to call for help, but the iron gate was welded tightly, leaving her no way out.

Despair, helplessness, fear.

The shackles pressed down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

She looked at the cracked window above her head and felt dizzy. She watched the world in front of her fall apart, and then her face turned into Su Miao.

All the pain, sin and filth were transferred.

Su Yun turned her head to look at the windowsill. The moonlight shone through the milky white lace curtains, reflecting the shadows of tulips. She finally regained some consciousness and raised her head to look at everything in front of her.

The soft bedding, the fragrant room, and the heating at a suitable temperature all reminded her that the suffering was over.

Su Yun rubbed his swollen temples and picked up the phone on the bedside table.

It's four in the morning, a new day, but it's still dark.

She leaned against the bed, staring blankly at the screen of her mobile phone.

The screen went off and suddenly lit up again, and a sudden message caught her sight.

-【Dear Hunter players, welcome to join Secret Garden.】

Su Yun's scattered eyes suddenly focused.

Zhou Yanheng.

She had received an invitation from Zhou Yanheng before, but at that time she was just a prey for his entertainment.

What does Zhou Yanheng mean? Didn’t he say that the game between them is over?

A dark current flashed in Su Yun's eyes.

new game?

*

At nine o'clock in the morning, Su Jingliu was dressed neatly and sitting in the main hall drinking coffee.

Su Yun walked into the living room under the guidance of her aunt, "Grandpa."

She hadn't slept since receiving the invitation, and her eyes were faintly bloodshot.

Su Jingliu noticed her tiredness and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well? Are you not used to it yet?"

Su Yun shook her head. What was there for her to be uncomfortable with living in the Su family?

Su Jingliu poured her a cup of coffee and said, "I don't have anything to do today. Grandpa wants to take you somewhere."

"Okay." Su Yun looked down at her clothes and said cautiously, "Shall I get ready now?"

"No, it's fine this way."

Su Yun didn't say anything else.

After being absent for sixteen years, she didn't know how to be a qualified eldest daughter of the Su family, so many things she did seemed awkward and clumsy.

Su Jingliu saw it and patted her shoulder gently, "Don't be nervous, just go and relax."

*

As the car sped along, Whale Harbor City seemed to have shrunk overnight. Those majestic and imposing buildings that seemed out of reach before were now just insignificant scenery through her car window.

Su Yun stuck her head out of the window. There were five special cars leading the way in front and ten SUVs escorting them from behind. Wherever they went, traffic police were blocking every intersection and all vehicles were blocked outside the Su family's lane.

This kind of treatment is completely different from the life before the age of sixteen.

Who would have thought that three days ago she was a poor creature with no way to make a living, but now, just by leaving her home, she can change the traffic in half of the city.

The vehicle drove all the way from the bustling city to the ruins, and the closer it got to the suburbs, the heavier Su Yun's expression became.

She turned to look at Su Jingliu, her eyes full of anxiety.

Su Jingliu knew what she was thinking. He patted the back of Su Yun's hand gently and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Grandpa is here."

This sentence might comfort Su Miao, but it couldn't comfort Su Yun. She had lived in darkness for too long, and the slightest disturbance would kill her, so no one in this world could make her feel at ease except herself.

"Master, we're here."

The vehicles were parked beside the dusty mud road. Even the most noble car would not be free from dust when it arrived here.

"Come down with grandpa for a walk?"

Su Yun looked at Su Jingliu in confusion. She didn't understand why they came here to relax. Not only were the buildings in this area dilapidated and backward, but the people were the same.

But she had no choice but to get out of the car.

Su Jingliu waved at her, and Su Yun hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to support her.

The two walked through the mud step by step and came to the entrance of the dark alley.

"Ayun, what do you think of this place?"

Su Yun looked around. She didn't know how to express it. This was where she had lived since she was a child. All her misfortunes had happened here.

"I've already bought this piece of land, and not just this, but that and that as well." Su Jingliu pointed at the dilapidated cement houses in the distance. "Now, it's yours."

Su Yun was stunned. She was very good at hiding her thoughts, but this absent-minded emotion came too quickly and she had no time to hide it.

Su Jingliu pointed at the bottomless entrance in front of him and said calmly, "Grandpa will never be able to repay you in this lifetime. This small gift is my compensation to you.

The foundation is still the same, but this time you can tear it down and rebuild it. You can build a school, a hospital, a playground, or a park, as long as you like."

Su Yun was a smart person and immediately understood the deep meaning behind Su Jingliu's words. She was a little moved, "Really?"

"Really." Su Jingliu nodded, "Grandpa will show you a magic trick."

He pointed lightly at the concrete house at the end of the alley.

"boom--"

The explosion was earth-shattering.

Rows of concrete houses collapsed, raising clouds of dust.

Su Yun looked at everything around her in disbelief. Those things she once thought were indestructible turned out to be so vulnerable in the face of true power.

The overthrown world needs a new order. As a guide, Su Jingliu must put Su Yun back to the right place.

He looked up at the sky obscured by thick dust and said earnestly, "Son, do you know what the Su family has paid for the right to cover the sky for half the day?"

"Your father was kidnapped by a political enemy of the Su family when he was young, and he barely escaped death after several near-death experiences. Your uncle survived hundreds of assassination attempts, the last of which left him hospitalized for six months. And Ah Zhuo, when he was young, was betrayed by a friend and fell into the water, nearly drowning..."

Su Yun was stunned and looked at Su Jingliu in disbelief.

Su Jingliu turned his head and said, "Everything in this world is conserved. No matter how great the glory, it is always a double-edged sword. Misfortune and power never exist alone. Ayun, Grandpa knows you're still brooding over the past, but life isn't just about the past. You're only sixteen, and your life has just begun. If you dwell too much on the suffering of the past, you'll only harm yourself."

Su Yun's fingertips trembled slightly and she clenched her fists.

"Grandpa knows you're a smart and patient child. You must have sacrificed a lot to be able to come to us intact. Grandpa admires your intelligence and forbearance, so Grandpa doesn't blame you for any choices you make during these extraordinary times. Even Grandpa, at the same age and with the same experience, can't guarantee that he would do better than you."

Su Yun's body stiffened slightly, and she looked up at Su Jingliu, "Do you know what I did? You don't blame me?"

Su Jingliu shook his head. "That's not important. What's important is the result. You and Miaomiao are both back."

"Humans, don't be too greedy. We can't demand that you live well and also that you live perfectly as we expect. When people are on the verge of death in war, even their closest relatives can be eaten. When disaster strikes, loving couples can turn against each other. It's human nature."

"Let the past be the past, and we will let bygones be bygones. From today on, your life is no longer limited to being abandoned or exchanged. You have the right to make more choices."

"Just like this flattened wasteland in front of you, you can rebuild anything you like."

Su Yun sobbed, tears welling up in her eyes.

Su Jingliu patted her head and said, "Don't cry. Now that you're home, say goodbye to the past."
