Chapter 664 - 664 Remember Everything
664 Remember Everything
After Su Xiaolu finished speaking, she did not look at Su Xiaozhi’s surprised expression. She turned around and left using Qinggong. Like a swallow, she flitted past and disappeared from Su Xiaozhi’s sight.
Su Xiaozhi’s heart was in turmoil. Her body trembled slightly as she muttered to herself in disbelief, “How, how is this possible…”
Sealed memories surged into her mind like a tide. She recalled that year when she visited Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao. After knowing the reason why they were separated, she took off the silver bracelet on her wrist and gave it to Madam Zhao. She also comforted Madam Zhao that she would definitely get through it before she went to see Su Xiaolu. At that time, Su Xiaolu was very small and obedient.
She was so obedient that her heart melted. At that time, she wondered why her parents could not tolerate such an obedient granddaughter. Her heart ached at that time. The first thing she said to Su Xiaolu was mixed with her heartache and concern as her aunt. She said, “Simei, be good and let me hold you, okay?”!!
Word for word. Su Xiaolu was just a baby at that time. How could she remember?
How was that possible?
Su Xiaozhi’s heart seemed to be tightened by something. If Su Xiaolu remembered, it meant that she had heard, seen, and remembered everything. She remembered all the hardships the Su family had experienced and endured.
Su Xiaozhi’s heart felt like it was being hammered by a hammer. She cried and muttered to herself, “I’m not asking them to forgive me for anything. I just feel that the past is in the past. I don’t have any bad intentions.”
Hu Changshou looked at Su Xiaozhi indifferently and said, “If you’re doing that, do it yourself. Why force others?”
Su Xiaozhi looked at Hu Changshou’s indifferent expression and felt a sharp pain in her heart. She endured the pain and argued, “I didn’t want to force them. Didn’t they not do as I said? My third brother even alienated me because he resented me. He would rather be close to the Chen family than to me.”
Hu Changshou laughed sarcastically. “Mother, do you think Third Uncle hasn’t given you enough?”
Su Xiaozhi didn’t dare to look at Hu Changshou’s mocking gaze. She avoided it and shook her head. “No.”
However, Hu Changshou looked at Su Xiaozhi word by word and said, “You do. Even if you don’t admit it, you do. When Madam Wang asked you for money and you were beaten and scolded by Madam Wang, you blamed Third Uncle for being too heartless. He clearly had so much money, but he couldn’t help you. You blamed Third Uncle for being too vengeful. Why did he remember the past when his life was good? You just blamed them.”
“Am I wrong? They’re biological brothers to begin with. Mother carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. We’re all family. Why must it escalate to a blood feud? Mother just wants him to be more magnanimous and kind.”
Su Xiaozhi’s heart ached. Why? Why did no one understand her? Why did even her son not understand her and look at her with such an unfamiliar gaze?
Hu Changshou smiled sarcastically. “Why is mother so righteous? Why didn’t you stand up for Third Uncle back then? Why didn’t you blame Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle for not remembering their brotherhood? Why didn’t you ask Grandpa and Grandma? Why didn’t you blame them for hoping that Third Uncle’s family would die that winter? Why didn’t you go back then? Mother, don’t tell me that you’re a married daughter who has no say. These words are disgusting. Now, you’re disregarding your in-laws and your son. Aren’t you being a righteous person? Now that you’ve done it, why didn’t you do it back then?”
Su Xiaozhi was speechless. She opened her mouth a few times but could not say a word.
“Shou, I’m your mother.”
After a while, Su Xiaozhi could only say these words.
Hu Changshou sneered. “That’s right. You’re my mother. It’s precisely because you’re my mother that I respect you. However, you simply gave birth to me and gave me this life. I don’t want it anymore. I’ll return it to you.”
“Mother, why don’t you take my life now? If you don’t kill me, I’ll go into the fog.”
Hu Changshou looked at Su Xiaozhi coldly, his eyes filled with determination.
Su Xiaozhi’s heart was trembling. She couldn’t cry. She moved her lips and said with a trembling voice, “But Xiaolu has already left. You won’t be able to catch up to them.”
Hu Changshou had been delayed here for so long. He could no longer see the people who were entering the fog. Those people were all capable. Hu Changshou could not catch up to them.
They all had to travel together. Hu Changshou didn’t have the skills to catch up. if he went in alone, Su Xiaozhi didn’t dare to think about it. She knelt down and hugged Hu Changshou. She shook her head in pain and said, “No, no. Mother won’t allow you to go. Mother can’t let you die.”
Hu Changshou remained resolute. He said coldly, “Mother, you were the one who asked me to die. I originally followed Xiaolu in. With Xiaolu protecting me, the chances of me being in danger are much lower. It was you who stopped me. It was you who cut off my path of survival. Now that I’m going by myself, even if I’m bitten to death by a ferocious beast, it’s your fault. It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t stopped me, at least I wouldn’t have to face it alone.”
“No, no. I don’t want you to die. I want to save you. I want the best for you.”
Su Xiaozhi’s heart was in pain. She hugged Hu Changshou, whose body was as tense as a log, and was extremely afraid. Why did this happen? She didn’t want this to happen.
Hu Changshou only pushed her away calmly. “I don’t want to talk nonsense with you anymore. Why don’t you kill me? I admit that you’re my mother. You gave me my life. I’ll return it to you now. This way, I won’t owe you anything.”
“As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll go. I’ll either die here in your hands or enter the foreign realm. Think about it yourself. In the next four hours, I’ll kneel here and wait for you to think it through.”
With that, Hu Changshou closed his eyes and refused to look at Su Xiaozhi or talk to her.
Su Xiaozhi felt her heart break. She was full of regret. She shouldn’t have stopped him.
Su Xiaozhi looked at the road and said anxiously, “It’s all mother’s fault. I won’t stop you anymore. Go now. Go quickly. You can still catch up to them.”
However, Hu Changshou did not move. Su Xiaozhi panicked. “Xiaolu might still be waiting for you. If she wants to bring you there, she will definitely wait for you.”
Hearing that Su Xiaozhi still wanted to blame Su Xiaolu, Hu Changshou smiled sarcastically and said coldly, “Thank you for reminding me, mother. Four hours is not enough. Then I’ll stay here for the night and go tomorrow. This way, Xiaolu will think that I’ve changed my mind and won’t wait for me. I’ll die inside. It’s all your fault. I’ll never forgive you. I hate you.”
Su Xiaozhi looked at the coldness in Hu Changshou’s eyes in disbelief. There was nowhere to hide her gaze. Any reason she could find had been shattered by Hu Changshou. She could only blame herself.
