Chapter 120 Saying Goodbye to the Past

Seeing her son's dejected appearance, the aunt felt both heartache and helplessness.

Now that Suo Suo and Han Tao's situation is a done deal, she doesn't know how to comfort them.

After all, some things, if said at this critical juncture, would seem inappropriate.

She could only sigh inwardly, wondering why her foolish son was so stubborn.

There's also a sense of disappointment and frustration, as her son is so deeply in love with Suosuo, someone who can't be kept in check.

Perhaps this is fate; what is not yours, you cannot force.

Zhu Suosuo didn't want to cause any unpleasantness before leaving, and she especially didn't want to embarrass Han Tao.

She quickly got up and said softly and patiently, "Jiaming, please don't do this."

Didn't you just say that you've grown up and no longer worry your aunt? So you need to be strong, right?

I believe you will definitely find a girlfriend who treats you well, and you will definitely be happy.

Cheer up, or I won't be able to come back again.

"I—I'm sorry, Suo Suo."

Fearing she might not come back, Luo Jiaming tried to compose himself and forced a smile, saying, "Today is your moving day, happy housewarming!"

Zhu Suosuo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Jiaming. I will come back to see you and your uncle and aunt often in the future."

"Suo Suo—" Luo Jiaming called softly, finally unable to hold back his emotions, and continued, his voice choked with sobs, "You must remember, if one day you're unhappy living outside and want to come back, I'll always be here waiting for you!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room, locking the door behind him, completely ignoring the embarrassment on the faces of his stepfather, Zhu Suosuo, and his mother.

Luo Youfu's expression changed slightly, and he wished he could rush up and slap him twice.

Saying things like "Come back if you're unhappy" or "I'll always wait for you" in front of someone's boyfriend is practically a slap in the face.

Zhu Suosuo was afraid that Han Tao would be unhappy, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Aunt, let Uncle chat with Brother Han for a while, and I'll explain the rest to you."

"Oh—right, if Suo Suo hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. You're suddenly moving out, there must be a lot of things you haven't packed yet."

My aunt nodded and quickly said, "I'll put it away for you. Come back and get it whenever you need it!"

After saying that, she gave her husband, Luo Youfu, a wink. He understood immediately and changed the subject, talking about some interesting things about Zhu Suosuo from childhood to adulthood.

The awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated, and only Han Tao and Luo Youfu's laughter remained in the living room.

In the small cubicle not far away, Zhu Suosuo and her aunt were chatting as they packed their things, showing no sign that an unpleasant incident had just occurred.

In fact, Han Tao wasn't unhappy at all; in fact, he felt quite sorry for Luo Jiaming.

This cousin, who is not related to Zhu Suosuo by blood, has always loved her deeply in his own way, and loved her so deeply.

But he never understood where he went wrong. Aside from his financial situation, his biggest problem was that he never truly established himself.

It's true that Luo Jiaming loves Zhu Suosuo, but some of his behaviors have become an insurmountable chasm between them.

His mother's issues, in particular, subtly influenced him, leading him to subconsciously consider Suosuo as his wife.

No matter what Suo Suo wanted to do, he would interrogate her like a parent questioning a teenager, nagging and wanting to know everything.

This kind of behavior is unbearable even for a child, let alone an adult with an independent will.

Therefore, this kind of self-indulgent thoughtfulness only makes people think it's silly and annoying.

Although Zhu Suosuo is quite fond of money, she is not a pure gold digger.

Over the years, she has never asked any of her boyfriends to spend money on her.

Later, as she matured, she developed her own standards and bottom lines.

She had explicitly told Jiang Nansun that she wanted to find a rich boyfriend.

But then again, which girl doesn't want to find someone with good prospects?

Given a choice, who would want to be with a penniless man?

That's why she made it very clear that if the other person didn't have money, she wouldn't choose to date them at all, because it wouldn't be fair to anyone.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhu Suosuo finished explaining things to her aunt and pushed a suitcase into the living room.

Seeing that Han Tao and his uncle were chatting happily, she immediately felt relieved and asked with a smile, "Uncle, what are you and Brother Han talking about? You seem to be having such a pleasant conversation?"

"Hehe, your uncle is telling me about your childhood."

Han Tao glanced at the suitcase in her hand and asked, "Is that all? Are you all packed?"

"We're all packed up, we can set off now." Zhu Suosuo nodded.

Auntie was taken aback. "Suo Suo, are you in such a hurry to leave? It's your first time visiting, you should at least have a simple meal before you go!"

"Thank you, Auntie, but I won't eat." Han Tao waved his hand, then explained, "I promised someone I'd go over today, and they're waiting for me. I'll visit another day and have a good chat with you and Uncle!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Youfu looked at him and said gently, "Since we've made an appointment, go ahead and get busy. Don't keep them waiting."

Come over sometime when you have time. We can have a good drink together then. Your aunt's cooking is absolutely amazing; I guarantee you'll want more!

"Okay, Uncle, I'll definitely come and try Auntie's cooking another day."

Han Tao replied with a smile, "I happen to have some good wine that a friend gave me. I'll have a couple of drinks with you then."

Luo Youfu nodded, then looked at his niece Zhu Suosuo and sighed, "Alas! I didn't realize it before, but now that you're leaving, I really can't bear to part with you."

"Uncle, I'll come back to visit you often." Zhu Suosuo's eyes reddened as she spoke, and she bowed deeply to her uncle and aunt: "Suosuo is leaving now, thank you and aunt for taking care of me all these years!"

Luo Youfu quickly stepped forward to help her up: "Get up, Suosuo. In your uncle's heart, you're like a daughter; there's no need for these words of thanks."

Seeing Zhu Suosuo, her face streaked with tears and unable to speak due to sobs, Han Tao walked to her side, gently wiping away her tears with his fingers as he softly said, "Suosuo, don't cry. We're not leaving Shanghai, and Fuxing Road isn't far from here. You can come back to visit your uncle and aunt often."

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Suosuo's aunt and uncle, bowed slightly and said, "Uncle, Aunt, it's getting late, Suosuo and I will be leaving now."

If you want to lock her up, or if you have some free time, you can go see her anytime. We can have a meal together and have a good chat.

"Okay." Luo Youfu's eyes also reddened, and he couldn't help but pat Han Tao's shoulder: "Xiao Han, I'm entrusting Suo Suo to you. You must take good care of her."

Han Tao nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Uncle, I will. You and Auntie don't need to see us off, we can go down by ourselves."

"Xiao Han, then you and Suo Suo take care on the road," Auntie couldn't help but wipe her eyes, feeling a little sad. "Come back and visit when you have time, Auntie will cook you something delicious."

"Thank you, Aunt!" Zhu Suosuo stopped her uncle and aunt who were about to see her downstairs. "You and Uncle, don't bother seeing us off. Brother Han and I will come back to visit you in a few days."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Luo Youfu agreed verbally, but his steps did not stop. He followed the two downstairs and escorted them all the way to the entrance of the alley, watching their car slowly drive away.

Meanwhile, Luo Jiaming, who was in the room, was heartbroken when he heard Zhu Suosuo leave. He finally couldn't help but run to the window and lean out to look at the alley entrance.

Even as he watched the car's taillights disappear into the distance, his heart remained unsettled. A gentle breeze blew by, and before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face.
