Chapter 1734: Chapter 1317: Are You Comparable to Me?

"I don’t want to leave you and Mom!"

Big tears rolled down from Su Yun’s eyes.

"Think it over carefully."

Father Su didn’t want to say more. He helped Mother Su back to their bedroom.

Only Su Yun remained in the living room. She stood there for a long time, unmoving, confusion filling her heart and eyes.

"Why didn’t you ask Yun Yun which man it was?"

In the master bedroom, Mother Su asked Father Su.

"What good would it do to ask? Did you see that pamphlet? The details are all clear. Yun Yun was the one who actively pursued him. After getting fired, a few months later, she engineered a fake encounter, and even deliberately pretended to faint in front of him. Later..."

"Enough, don’t say any more. I already know what happened after that."

Mother Su hadn’t finished reading the pamphlet, but she saw enough: Su Yun used the married man to get herself sent home, slipped something into his drink while pouring water for him, and then...

Mother Su stopped thinking about it. Right now, she was reflecting on herself, wondering where she had gone wrong to raise a daughter like Su Yun.

Father Su: "What’s done is done. No matter how angry we get, it won’t help. All we can do now is wait for things to blow over, then send Yun Yun to work in another city. Otherwise, even if she isn’t driven to the edge by gossip, it won’t be long before she breaks down mentally."

Mother Su: "So what about us? What are we supposed to do? And Xiao Dong, what about him?"

"...Ignore it, stop thinking about it. Things will pass."

Father Su didn’t sound confident. He knew all too well, times might be more open now, but not so open that relationships between men and women can be reckless. Whoever has a daughter with such scandalous behavior will have people gossiping about them for a long time.

And even if time passes and everyone forgets, just seeing their family again will remind people of everything that happened.

In short, if they really want to stop being talked about, their whole family would have to move out of the staff compound, to a new place where no one knows them.

Otherwise, it’s like changing the soup but not the medicine—sooner or later it’ll stir up trouble all over again.

But moving isn’t easy.

Not only is housing tight in the city, but with their jobs, transfer isn’t something you can just do; to get transferred to another city with the same level of work, you’d need some pretty strong connections—it’s just impossible otherwise.

Besides... Besides, he’s more than satisfied with his current job and planned to stay until retirement. He didn’t want to move at all, especially not because of his daughter’s messy relationship, just to save face.

"Do you think this is something we can simply ignore and it’ll go away?"

Mother Su’s eyes filled with pain: "Whenever people see us, maybe they won’t say anything to our face, but who knows what they’re saying behind our backs—mocking us for raising a shameless daughter who ruins other people’s families!

We’re close to retirement, and Xiao Dong is just starting his career. Who knows if his bosses might question his character because Yun Yun is his sister—and then they won’t even consider him for promotion."

Xiao Dong, full name Su Dong, is Su Yun’s brother.

"So what do you want to do?"

Father Su frowned: "Do you want me, you, and our son all to transfer jobs? Move the whole family?"

Mother Su shook her head without even thinking: "That’s not what I meant."

"Since we don’t want to transfer jobs or move, we’ll just have to bear it, pretend nothing ever happened."

It’s only a few words from people—it’s not like it’ll take a pound of flesh. Just endure... endure and it’ll pass eventually.

Father Su tried to persuade himself, even though he knew deep down it was just self-deception, but he had no other way. It’s the only comfort he could offer himself.

Anyway, times are changing; maybe after a few years... He cut off the thought, realizing it was wishful thinking.

After all, if people could have sexual relationships as they pleased, where would society’s boundaries be?

Would people even have morals anymore?

And once a person loses their moral principles, what difference is there between them and uncivilized animals?

"Take it one step at a time!"

Mother Su wiped her eyes and said, "I... I need to take a few days off. Otherwise, I truly don’t know how I could face people."

"You..."

Father Su sighed deeply: "Alright."

In truth, he thought, no matter how many days she takes off, it’s just fooling themselves!

In the living room, Su Yun stood there, frozen for about seven or eight minutes. Finally, she moved her feet and, dazed, returned to her own bedroom.

But a moment later, she came out again with a blank face, went to the master bedroom door and said, "Dad, Mom, I’m going out for a while."

"Where are you going?"

Mother Su hurriedly opened the bedroom door, only to find that Su Yun’s figure had already disappeared outside the house. Furious, she rushed after her and called, "Su Yun, get back here!"

But Su Yun acted as if she hadn’t heard, running straight downstairs.

She ignored the strange looks from others, running out of the compound. She saw a pamphlet with her photo on it in the green belt by the roadside, bent down to pick it up, stuffed it into her pocket, and then headed quickly toward the bus stop.

...

"I told you, from now on, there’s nothing between us anymore!"

Han Bin was at the company dealing with paperwork, when a phone call forced him to set his work aside and go down to a café at the building’s entrance. Now, he sat across from Su Yun. Each had a cup of coffee in front of them, but Han Bin had no intention of tasting his. His brows were tightly knit, his face cold and stern, showing just how bad his mood was.
