Chapter 61 Let's Escape

Su Mo suddenly became worried.

She hadn't even settled down yet, and she couldn't even stay in a hotel without an ID card. Now, she had a brother to look after.

She could sleep on the streets, but Qin Suche could not. He was still a child, and he had to go to school.

Su Mo thought for a moment, then she took Qin Suche's hand and said, "Little Che, listen to me. You'd better hurry home!"

Qin Suche tilted his head and looked at her for a while, then he forcefully shook off her hand. His red eyes were filled with the grievance of being abandoned.

He shouted at her, "Su Mo, you liar! I will never believe you again!"

The child lost his temper and did not care about anyone's feelings. Su Mo was pushed hard by him and fell to the ground. She only reacted when she saw that the boy had run away. She did not care about the suitcase anymore and got up to chase after him.

"Little Che, don't run. Listen to me first!"

"I won't listen. I won't listen. You big liar, I hate you!"

Qin Suche covered his ears and ran very fast. It was a pity that Su Mo had been hungry for a day and walked so far. Her vision went black and she fell to the ground.

Looking at the person who had already run into the darkness, Su Mo was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She didn't know where she got the strength to shout at the top of her lungs, "Suche, damn it. Stop right there!"

Hearing her shout, Qin Suche stopped and turned around to look at her stubbornly, but he refused to come over.

Su Mo had fallen hard just now, but now she began to feel pain.

When she got up herself, her legs trembled and she could not stand straight. Seeing Qin Suche standing far away, she could not help but scold, "Brat, don't you know how to come over and help me?"

Seeing her limp, Qin Suche was a little worried. However, when she approached, he still snorted unhappily. He did not care about this liar.

Just as he thought of this, the swindler stretched out her hand and rudely grabbed his ear, "I haven't even finished speaking when you ran away. You are not obedient at all."

Qin Suche ignored her, but his eyes were still red. He pouted angrily, looking like an abandoned puppy, wronged and pitiful.

It could be seen that he had misunderstood Su Mo.

Her hand that was holding onto his ear did not use much strength. Seeing him like this, Su Mo felt her heart soften and she was even more reluctant to make a move.

Looking at his stubborn expression, Su Mo sighed. This was the first time she had encountered something like this, so she held her brother's hand and explained it to him carefully.

"Little Che, it's not that I don't want you, but I just returned to the country and lost my ID card. Now I can't even find a place to live. Otherwise, why am I still here so late? I don't want you to suffer with me."

Only then did Qin Suche realize that he had misunderstood her. He quickly pulled her and said, "Sis, I am not afraid. I will go wherever you go in the future."

"What about the school? Are you not going to school?" asked Su Mo.

"I..."

Qin Suche was so anxious that his face turned red. He wanted to say that he was not going to school, but he was still underage. If he did not go to school, what else could he do?

The two siblings looked at each other, staring at each other speechlessly.

After a while, Su Mo licked her dry lips and said, "Little Che."

She was just calling out his name, but Qin Suche suddenly became excited.

He grabbed Su Mo's arm and begged her, "Sis, don't send me back. I don't want to go back to that house. Please don't drive me away."

Su Mo felt a burning pain in her arm because of the fall just now. His shaking of her arm even made Su Mo grimace in pain. But she didn't understand why Su Che didn't want to go back.

She asked, "So the problem comes again. Since your mother is married, did your stepfather bully you?"

"No?"

"Then did your mother raise a pretty boy at home? She only cares about the pretty boy, so she ignores you?"

"Neither?"

"Is she not good to you?"

"She treats you very well?"

Su Mo did not understand. She scratched her head and asked him, "Then why are you unwilling to go home?"

Looking at Su Mo's black eyes, Qin Suche lowered his head.

He thought to himself, "Because of what?"

"Because they are selfish, they killed the person who I called 'Mom' for a year, they robbed you of everything and made you lose your home."

"Every time I see them, I will think of Auntie Su and you." Qin Suche looked up at her, his face full of pain. It was not the expression he should have at his age.

He said, "They did that for money. I hate them. I don't want to use their money. I don't want to live in the same house with them. Otherwise, I will think I am also the murderer."

When Su Mo saw that he was crying, she hugged him lovingly and said, "Little fool, how could you think that way? How does the adults' doing wrong have to do with you?"

Hearing her say this, Qin Suche looked at her blankly.

No one had ever told him these words. They would always say to him, "Little Che, you deserve all these. Your surname is Qin, not Su."

Qin Suche sniffed and hugged Su Mo's waist. He choked and asked her, "Sis, aren't you angry with me? I stole your things!"

"What a fool."

Su Mo rubbed his head. "Alright, I won't chase you away. If you really don't want to go back, then just follow me. I'll earn money to support you in the future."

The young man was so surprised that he did not know what to do. He blinked and then looked at her for a moment. "Sis, is what you said true?"

Su Mo nodded, but her face was full of worry.

"Great, great, great!"

Hearing that Su Mo was willing to take him in, Qin Suche was extremely happy. He held her hand and jumped, just like a child.

Seeing him like this, Su Mo felt her heart was very tangled. She could not bear to attack this child, but there were some things that she had to make clear to him in advance.

"Little Che."

Su Mo frowned and tried to make him understand, "If you live with me, there will be no cars or houses in the future. Have you really thought it through?"

"I've thought it through. As long as I have my sister, it'll be fine. I'm not afraid of hard work." Qin Suche nodded vigorously.

After he finished speaking, he smiled first and lowered his head shyly. He could not help but secretly look at Su Mo's reaction.

Seeing him like this, Su Mo also smiled and said, "Qin Xiuwen is lucky to have such a handsome son."

"Sis, if you see them one day, will you call the police to arrest them? Do you hate them?" Since she mentioned Qin Xiuwen, Qin Suche's eyes flashed as he looked at her worriedly.

Su Mo obviously did not expect him to ask this. She was slightly stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, "Is he referring to the people who took away the company's money?"

"It is normal for mother and son to have a heart-to-heart relationship. Little Che is worried about his mother, right?"

If calling the police was useful, she would not have been cornered six years ago.

Su Mo had seen the picture of her aunt dying in the bathroom when she was at the police station. Every time she thought of that picture, she would still feel terrified. Her aunt was such a proud person that she would rather die than accept the humiliation of failure.

Su Mo closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. Her cold voice seemed to come from the ground. "I hate them! I won't forgive them!"

"Sis, don't be like this. I'm scared." Qin Suche was frightened by her expression and carefully reached out to pull her.

The sixteen-year-old boy had always felt guilty because his parents had done something wrong. Being rebellious, he had run away from the school and ran to the cemetery more than ten miles away.

Su Mo thought Qin Suche was even more courageous than she was back then.

Thus, Su Mo extended her hand toward him, her curved eyebrows smiling as she said, "Little Che, let's escape!"

An entire night.

Xiao Nanye waited for her for an entire night, but there was still no news.

He had searched all the hotels in A City. He had searched the streets, alleys, and even the place under the overpass. However, he could not find her. It was impossible for her to leave A City in such a short period. He wondered where she was hiding.

Xiao Nanye drove for a night. When it was almost dawn, he finally gave up. He parked the car on the public road, rolled down the window, and blew the salty sea breeze.

"Hey, Boss, where are you? Han Zi let me ask you if you want to come out for a drink tonight?"

Hearing Jiang Shengze's voice, Xiao Nanye did not speak for a long time. He took a long drag on his cigarette and opened his mouth. His voice was hoarse and difficult to distinguish. He said, "Ah Ze, I lost my wife."

He told Jiang Shengze about this and it was equal to letting everyone know. Not long after he hung up, Han Ziyi and Qiao Mingyuan called in succession to comfort him.

Han Ziyi said, "Brother, there are tons of girls in the world."

With these words, Han Ziyi was purely taking pleasure in other people's misfortune. In addition, he was not standing in Xiao Nanye's shoes. Xiao Nanye did not wait for him to finish and directly hung up.

He thought to himself, "Easy for you to say!"

Qiao Mingyuan had no prejudice against Su Mo, so he said, "Don't worry. She is so stupid and she won't be able to run far. Think about it carefully. Does she have any relatives or friends in A City?"

After his reminder, Xiao Nanye suddenly remembered a place, so he called Ken and asked him to find out where Su Mo's parents' cemetery was.

When Ken sent over the information he had found, Xiao Nanye looked at the person in the photo. The unexpected fragments in his brain were pieced together and he recalled a past memory.

He remembered that it had happened more than ten years ago. The headlines of the newspapers and magazines all over the street were about the news of the big star Ling An'an committing suicide.

That year, when he was sixteen years old, he was still a rebellious youth. Because he hated the fake faces of those people, he ran out of the mourning hall alone.

He was really sad, so he hid in the shade of a tree and cried. He was obviously very sad, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to cry.

That day, he lost his most beloved mother.

That day, he met a girl.

The girl was very small and looked to be only seven or eight years old. She had a pair of big black and bright eyes, which was watery and cute, just like the doll she was holding in her arms.

Like a little angel, she slowly walked up to him and asked, "Brother, why are you crying?"

The youth did not notice when she came. At that time, he was in a bad mood, so he looked at her with cold eyes, "It's none of your business!"

His voice was very cold and his eyes were fierce. The little girl seemed to be very timid. After being glared at by him, she retreated a few steps in fear and then stood far away.
