Wu Guizhen heard the sarcasm in Wu Yaohua's words and noticed the disdainful expression on his face.

She didn't understand why her father would speak to his own daughter with such a harsh tone.

Was it just because she defied him, making him unhappy, so he resorted to ridicule?

Wu Guizhen suddenly recalled her time teaching at a primary school in Longcheng.

The fathers of those female teachers in the office would visit their daughters with smiles full of affection.

Thinking of this, coupled with her inability to reach Su Ming by phone,

a wave of grievance surged in her heart, instantly making Wu Guizhen bite her lips tightly, her eyes misty.

She immediately ran into the bedroom, threw herself onto the bed, and cried out loud with her head buried under the quilt.

"Oh dear, say less, can't you see our daughter is upset?"

Li Sufen, looking displeased, spoke to Wu Yaohua.

She then went straight to the door of Wu Guizhen's bedroom, knocked on it worriedly:

"Zhenzhen, your dad spoke out of urgency; we're all doing it for your own good!"

She paused for a moment, then continued:

"Although you look nice and have a good figure, your age is a fact, and you're divorced. Finding someone like Xiao Dong, a civil servant, is quite good, and he hasn't been married yet!"

At this moment, Wu Yaohua came over, spoke coldly:

"Your mom is right! It's a blessing that someone likes our family; don't hold unrealistic dreams. That man is much younger than you; you're not on the same path. It's impossible for you to be together."

"What did I say earlier! It's all because you've spoiled her since she was little. Look at how spoiled she's become! She disregards everything her parents say; does she have any filial piety or moral conscience?"

Seeing this, Wu Yaohua's anger grew more intense, and he roared at Li Sufen.

He continued to speak to Wu Guizhen with a sneer:

"I'm telling you, stay home obediently. You're not allowed to go anywhere! Do you have no self-awareness? As a divorced woman, finding someone is a blessing; yet, you dream of going to a big city like Longcheng?"

Hearing this, Wu Guizhen felt utterly hopeless, as if her heart had turned to ashes. Like a robot, she walked to the balcony.

She looked at the height of the ninth floor, trembling all over.

But at that moment, her grief surpassed her fear, and she suddenly wanted to end this somewhat bleak life.

Deng Zhigang parked the car under Wu Guizhen's residential building and intended to go inside with Su Ming.

Just then, Su Ming suddenly stopped because he looked up and saw a familiar figure.

When he looked closely, he found Wu Guizhen standing in front of the balcony, hesitating at the height and trembling.

"Sister Zhen, what are you doing?"

Su Ming immediately shouted loudly.

Hearing Su Ming's voice, Wu Guizhen looked downstairs and instantly saw the figure she dreamt of.

"Am I dreaming? Su Ming, is it really you?"

"Stay there and don't move; I'm coming right up," Su Ming shouted.

A bit intimidated by heights, Wu Guizhen stood at the balcony's edge, unable to move as if filled with lead.

After hearing Su Ming's words, her face showed a soft smile, and she nodded obediently.

Su Ming reached the elevator but found it hadn't come down yet.

So he climbed seven floors and reached the door of Wu Guizhen's house, knocking firmly.

"Who is it?" Wu Yaohua, in the living room, heard the knocking and went to the door, speaking impatiently.

When Wu Yaohua opened the door, Su Ming did not pay attention to him and intended to run towards Wu Guizhen's bedroom.

Seeing a stranger coming in and ignoring him, Wu Yaohua immediately became furious and blocked Su Ming's way.

Su Ming knew the reason Wu Guizhen wanted to die had much to do with this man.

Thinking of this, his face turned gloomy, and his eyes revealed a chilly look.

He pushed Wu Yaohua aside, causing him to stumble.

"Who the hell are you? You know it's trespassing, right?"

Wu Yaohua's anger intensified, and he shouted angrily.

He began to suspect this young man might be Wu Guizhen's admirer.

Li Sufen saw Su Ming walk straight over and knock on Wu Guizhen's bedroom door.

"Sister Zhen, open the door; we can talk it out."

Li Sufen felt puzzled, thinking her daughter just wanted some peace.

Why does this young man seem more anxious than her mother?

"Su... Su Ming, my legs feel weak and unresponsive; I can't move."

Wu Guizhen's voice trembled as she spoke after hearing Su Ming.

Li Sufen realized something was wrong, and her face turned pale.

Su Ming knew Wu Guizhen probably had a fear of heights, which made her unable to move on the balcony.

Thinking of this, he used his shoulder to try to break the door open violently.

"Hey, what are you doing? Honey, why are you still standing there? Call the police! This guy suddenly..."

Wu Yaohua was livid, seeing Su Ming trying to break the door. He was about to ask Li Sufen to call the police.

But the next scene caught him off guard, making him stare in disbelief.

After Su Ming broke the door open, Wu Guizhen's trembling silhouette appeared on the balcony.

"Zhenzhen, what are you doing? My daughter, please don't do anything stupid!"

Li Sufen, upon seeing this, broke down immediately, her voice hysterical with a sob.

Su Ming ran straight to Wu Guizhen and embraced her around the waist.

He carried her away from the balcony into the living room.

"It's all your fault! I told you not to speak to our daughter like that, not to force her into things she doesn't want to do. You never listen! If anything happens to her today, I'll never forgive you!"

Li Sufen continuously hit Wu Yaohua's chest with her fists, crying out violently.

Wu Yaohua stood still, allowing Li Sufen to vent her emotions.
