Chapter 173 Dad said she was the child of his savior 2
The mother never said a word, only stared at the father with a mocking look in her eyes. Then the father couldn't stand it and left with the little girl in his arms.
The next time, the mother would still order the little girl around without any expression, completely ignoring the father's heartache and objections.
So Dad and Mom started arguing, and it gradually became more frequent. The once peaceful home was now filled with the sound of arguments.
I hate this little girl. Everything changed after she came.
Mom and Dad always argue because of her.
But my older siblings wouldn't try to stop the fight, nor would they allow me to.
A year passed like this. One day, the sun shone in the yard, and I sat idly by the window, watching my father and the little girl playing happily in the yard.
My heart was filled with disappointment and loneliness. My older brother and sister would never play with me outside like this.
I know that my older brother and sister are different from other people's.
My brother needs a cane to walk, and every step seems so difficult and strenuous.
My sister always wore a glove on her left hand, and she never took it off, no matter what she was doing.
I once asked them the reason out of curiosity, but my older brother and sister just silently hugged me tightly, their tears silently soaking my clothes, but they didn't tell me anything.
I secretly guessed that maybe they were sick, so I sensibly stopped nagging them to take me out to play.
But seeing how happy the father was having with the little girl outside, my curiosity was completely piqued.
So I quietly followed behind them, carefully passing through flower bushes and paths, until I arrived at a secluded corner I had never seen before.
Full of curiosity, I wanted to follow them inside to find out what was going on. Just as I was about to step through the door, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my head, and everything went black. I lost consciousness.
And then that was it. I don't remember anything. Maybe I never woke up again.

“This is the child of my savior! I want to adopt her, it’s settled.”
Su's father's expression was one of unquestionable authority. He held the little girl Wang Wenxin's hand tightly. His large, warm hand seemed to give the little girl an endless sense of security.
Wang Wenxin, wearing a slightly worn but clean and tidy pink dress, timidly hid behind Su's father, her little hands tightly clutching the hem of his clothes, her eyes filled with unease and fear, occasionally stealing glances at the other people sitting in the living room.
"Savior? Pshaw, what savior do you have?"
Su's mother, Cao Ke, had a face full of disdain as she glanced at Wang Wenxin, who was wearing a pink dress, her eyes devoid of any warmth.
She then turned her head away as if she found even a second glance annoying. She elegantly crossed her legs and gently swirled a steaming cup of coffee in her hand.
"How can you say such harsh things? I was on a business trip a while ago, and I was in a serious car accident. The situation was critical. My car was completely wrecked, and I was trapped inside and passed out. It was Wenxin's father who desperately pulled me out of the car and, at the last moment, shielded me with his body."
“Wenxin’s father died while saving someone, and now only Wenxin is left in his family. They don’t have any relatives, so she has no choice but to go to an orphanage.”
Su's father spoke with deep emotion, and with a look of pity, he patted Wang Wenxin's head.
"Then why not send her to an orphanage and sponsor her?"
Cao Ke put down her coffee cup with a soft "thump," crossed her arms, and spoke in a cold tone.
Cao Ke knew perfectly well that although the man she married seemed decent enough on a regular basis, his sudden decision to adopt a child at this critical juncture seemed suspicious.
In her view, if it were simply a matter of repaying a debt of gratitude, it would only be a matter of paying money; there was no need to take the child into her home and raise him.
Perhaps they saw that the little girl was all alone and had no one to rely on, so they decided to adopt her. Who knows what their true intentions are?
While Cao Ke was filled with suspicion and internal monologue, Wang Wenxin looked at her pitifully, her voice trembling with hope, and timidly called out, "Auntie."
"I don't want to go to the orphanage. Can you be my mom, Auntie? I can play with my older brothers and sisters. I'm very obedient and I can help Auntie with chores."
Her eyes were brimming with tears, as if they were about to fall at any moment. Her small figure appeared even more frail and helpless in the spacious living room.
Sitting to the side, Su Su secretly glanced at her brother Su Xinhao and sister Su Ying beside her, only to see that their hands and feet were completely covered by clothes.
Su Su was puzzled, and her curiosity compelled her to raise her hand and touch Su Ying's hand.
But before she could even touch it, she was interrupted by a shout from Su's father.
"Susu, do you want a sister?" Father Su's voice was gentle with a hint of expectation.
"Me? I have an older sister! I don't need another one."
Su Su blinked her clear, innocent eyes and said to her father with a naive expression.
Su's father glared at Su Su fiercely, his eyes seeming to carry a hint of warning.
Seeing this, Cao Ke immediately stepped in front of Su Su without hesitation, glaring back at Su's father without showing any weakness, his eyes filled with a firm determination to protect his son.
Until evening, they slowly followed the path in the original owner's memory, but Su Su deliberately kept her distance from her father, Suzhou, and did not have any contact with him.
However, a fierce argument broke out between Cao Ke and Suzhou.
Although Cao Ke tried her best to lower her voice and not let others hear, Su Su could still hear her clearly.
"What exactly do you want to adopt her for? Do you still want to? Didn't you say you changed?" Cao Ke's voice was filled with anger and doubt, her suppressed rage seemingly ready to explode at any moment.
“I really changed. I just thought she was cute, and seeing her reminded me of Su Su, so I wanted to adopt her.”
"You're probably thinking that you haven't even tasted it yet, so you're already thinking about it..."
"Since you know, don't say anything more. Let me see Su Su..."
There was a subtle, almost imperceptible threat in Suzhou's tone.
Just then, Wang Wenxin ran over like a cheerful little bird, sweetly calling out "Uncle".
Instantly, the gloom on Suzhou's face vanished, and he regained his kind and amiable demeanor. He gently bent down, tenderly picked up Wang Wenxin, and softly coaxed her.
"Hey, Uncle will take you to your room to sleep."
They left, and Wang Wenxin's laughter faded into the distance behind them.
Cao Ke remained standing quietly in place, her face appearing and disappearing in the light.
"Mom?" Su Su's childish voice suddenly rang out, breaking the surrounding silence.
"SuSu! What are you doing here?" Cao Ke seemed to be startled, her body trembled slightly, and then she quickly reacted.
Her mind started racing, trying to recall if she had accidentally said anything she shouldn't have during her argument with Suzhou.
