Chapter 127

“This?” Su Ran lifted her hand reflexively and touched the pronounced scar on her forehead.

In the original novel, this scar was a “souvenir” that “Su Ran” got when she was retired from the book.

It was also in original owner’s memory as well.

“Su Ran” was also drugged by then but was still somewhat conscious of what was going on. She was being dragged by a group of people. She tried as hard as she could to struggle free but finally failed. During the struggle, she was pushed into a coffee table by one of the men and that’s how she got the scar.

The memory was, at most, just a blurry memory to the current Su Ran and it was not that meaningful.

Nevertheless, being asked by her son all of a sudden, she couldn’t figure out what to tell him right away.

What Su Ran didn’t know was that her struggle, in Su Han’s eyes, had a completely different meaning.

Su Han pursed his lips and they formed almost into a straight line. His unhappiness was obvious.

“Was it because of that man again?” asked Su Han through gritted teeth. His fists, to both sides of him, were tightened as though he needed an outlet for the discontent that was inside of him.

Man? What man?

Su Ran’s hand that was busy with photo-editing paused. It took her a couple seconds to figure out who would Su Han possibly be referring to.

The male lead of the original novel? Song ZeYu?

“Emmm, more or less. But, not exactly,” said Su Ran casually after a quick thought.

According to the original novel, this was a consequence of the female supporting character’s own action. That being said, the ultimate reason was her trying to fight over the male lead with the female lead.

So… one could say that it was because of the male lead?

Su Ran just assumed that Su Han was going through the curious phase in his life and suddenly wanted to learn more about his mother’s past so she casually answered his question.

What she didn’t notice was that the moment that she had provided her with the answer, a strong anger suddenly appeared in Su Han’s eyes.

He knew it! It was because of that man!

Su Han roared in his mind.

If one could kill with one’s consciousness, then the head of the Lu’s, who had no idea the type of crimes that had been added onto him, would have already died a thousand horrible deaths.

He should have beat the guy up first before he took off today! Thought Su Han to himself.

In fact, he was already thinking about how to revenge that old man.

All the way until the cellphone that was thrusted in front of his face interrupted his thought process.

“Son, what are you thinking about?” ask Su Ran as she looked at her son’s expressionless face. She waved her cellphone in front of Su Han and said, “Come, check out my handywork. Looks great, right?”

“Eh?” He looked over at the picture that Su Ran was showing him.

Su Han, “Ugh…”

“It didn’t look any different than before,” said Su Han as he frowned.

“That only meant that my photo-editing skill was great and that you couldn’t tell that it had been edited.”

Su Ran pulled her phone back and looked again at the photo that she had edited, nodded, and happily saved it.

“I meant, it looked the same as before.” What was the different between the photo before and after it was edited? He couldn’t tell at all.

“I’ve only made some slight adjustments. What do you expect to see?” Su Ran felt that her photo-editing skill was being questioned.

“Then why did you bother…” Su Han grumbled unjustly after Su Ran had glared at him.

“It’s the vanity of a woman. Well, this is too deep for you to understand, son. Aye.” Su Ran gave Su Han a deliberate sympathetic look then shook her head and sighed.

“Vanity?”

“Uh huh.”

“You mean like those designer brand clothes and purses?” Su Han didn’t care about those but he had heard girls talking about them in class before.

Was this woman equally materialistic?

Meh. Make sense. If she wasn’t materialistic, how could she have been fooled by that man?

“I suppose those too, but why do you…?”

But Su Ran was interrupted by Su Han before she was done talking.

“What’s so good about those?” asked Su Han in a very resentful tone.

“You just want others to buy you those?”

Su Ran: What have I done now?

As Su Ran was dumbfounded, Su Han carried on, “If that’s what you like, I can buy them for you when I start making money. Lots of them!”

So, there was no need to count on someone else.

Well, we couldn’t change the past. But no more going forward.
