In American TV shows: Get stronger by spending money!

Besides, the social atmosphere here isn't one where chastity is paramount. It's common for people to date, and even have multiple relationships. You want to be picky, but so does everyone else. If it doesn't work out, you break up. It's hard to say who will suffer!

"Don't you want to hear the truth?" Seeing Caroline looking sad and about to get up and leave, Su suddenly asked.

Caroline was taken aback: "What is the truth?"

Su said seriously, "The truth is, I didn't like you at first. This dislike wasn't that I hated you, but it meant that dating was fine, and we could even establish a relationship, but when it came to having a serious emotional connection and giving up other possibilities, it was impossible!"

"You approached me in the first place because I'm rich and handsome, and being with me would satisfy your vanity and desire to show off, right?"

Caroline hesitated, looking a little embarrassed, but finally admitted, "Yes, but I really like you now!"

To give an inappropriate example, Caroline wanted to go fishing but ended up falling into the pond herself.

"Me too!" Su chuckled. "Of course, I certainly don't like you as much as you like me, but I am indeed a little touched. It sounds a bit scummy to say this, but I definitely wouldn't have liked you before. Now, well, I don't know if I'll like your compliments."

Listen to that, listen to that, isn't that a bit scummy?

That's absolutely awful.

But Su didn't mean it that way; it was his true feeling. So, his true nature... is that of a scumbag?

Yes, the Su family will never admit it!

……

P.S.: I don't know what to say. I feel like I'm sickly right now, there's nothing good about me.

Chapter 369 Elena's Self-Saving

Caroline's mood, like the weather, went from cloudy to sunny.

Is Su a chatterbox?

Scum!

As a green tea who hasn't fully matured yet, how could she not understand what Su meant?

It's nothing more than a tactic for dealing with sycophants: they reject you but still make you feel like you have a chance, making you feel like you should keep trying!

In the past, she would say such things to her suitors and admirers, but now, the wheel of fate has turned, and it's her turn.

She used to think those sycophants were stupid, that they were just trying to fool you, and you actually believed them?

Now, she feels nothing but joy.

Really fragrant!

This is actually normal. Don't assume that just because Caroline is a social queen and a manipulative woman at school, she won't be a sycophant.

Her family background wasn't much better than Vicky's.

Her parents divorced. Her mother was the police chief of Mysterious Falls, and her father... her father had an affair and ran off with another man.

Caroline's personality could not have remained unaffected; her strong desire for control and competitiveness are also manifestations of this personality trait.

So, she's a bit of a green tea bitch.

When a cunning woman meets a powerful man, it's a battle of wits.

As it turned out, she couldn't.

So whether it's a desire for control or a competitive spirit, she'll do everything she can to succeed, so... naturally she'll become a sycophant.

Of course, these are just tactics, and do not mean that Caroline is not sincere.

On a side note, there's a type of woman who will be touched and treat you well if you're good to her. But there's another type of woman who will take you for granted the better you are, and will not value you as much as you are. On the contrary, she will fawn over those who look down on her.

In the TV series, Damon didn't take Caroline seriously and hurt her time and time again. But what happened? She still cared about Damon. Although Damon's hypnosis played a part, it certainly wasn't the whole story.

In short, it's quite normal for Caroline to act like a sycophant. Her competitive nature makes her want what she can't have, and being hurt or rejected leads her to actively try to please others, which makes her feel good about herself.

To be honest, Caroline, this green tea bitch, and Sue, this playboy, are actually quite a good match, because their intentions are genuine and extremely sincere!

I have to say, this is quite interesting!

Caroline's mood improved, even more so than before. She felt that as long as she performed well, she would definitely win over Su's favor.

Therefore, she became even more eager to please Madam Su.

Vicky and Jessica Hanby didn't react much, but Bonnie thought her best friend was a bit crazy. Was it really that serious? If all the boys at school saw this, they'd be devastated!

She really wanted to tell her girlfriends to wake up: clinging on is useless; if it were, all the guys who were pursuing her would have succeeded long ago!

After the picnic, Caroline took Bonnie back to the Sue family home to watch several movies, and they didn't leave until it got dark.

She had figured things out after spending the last few days with Vicky. Although Vicky lived in the Su family's house, she was actually just a maid, cooking and cleaning. Although she definitely liked the Su family, the Su family didn't think much of her.

As for Jessica Hanby, she said she didn't know.

The woman, or rather girlfriend, by Sue’s side back then was Annabella, but this time it’s Jessica Hamby. Logically, she should be a greater threat than Elena, but when she’s with Sue, they don’t seem like a couple at all; their intimacy is even less than that between me and Sue.

Therefore, she should be like Vicky, not a big threat.

Even if there is a relationship, it is most likely not one involving emotions.

Her only worry now is Elena. Elena will be back tomorrow. Once she's back, she'll definitely have fewer opportunities to curry favor with the Su family, and the Su family's attention will surely shift to Elena.

This is why she couldn't help but ask Sue if she liked Elena during the day; she felt a sense of urgency and threat.

Caroline decided to go to the Su family first thing tomorrow morning. Even if Elena returned, she wanted to let her see her with the Su family to show her attitude. If Elena could back down, that would be even better.

Back home, Caroline rummaged through her drawers looking for her 'battle outfit' for tomorrow. Unaware of her thoughts, Su took a bath, healed Vicky's bite wound from Jessica, and then went back to her room to rest.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Su was awakened by the memories that came back after the shadow clone self-destructed. The shadow clone's memories had only one focus: Elena had already returned to Mysterious Waterfall Town.

After washing up, Su gave a briefing to Vicky, who was getting up to make breakfast, and then teleported directly to the vicinity of the Vicky Bridge.

This bridge is where Elena's family had their accident in the TV series. Incidentally, it's not far from Stefan's house.

The sun is shining and the air is fresh.

Su sat on a branch of a large tree, watching the live stream from Elena's perspective in the system.

If about an hour had passed, Sue shut down the system and looked towards the other end of the Vikrie Bridge.

A car sped towards us.

There were no other vehicles on the bridge, and the road surface was neither pothole nor flooded. Logically, no car accident should have occurred under these circumstances.

But while driving in the middle, Su noticed that Elena's father, who was driving, suddenly bent down and looked down as if looking for something. Then the car suddenly skidded and rushed straight toward the bridge.

"boom!"

The bridge railing was knocked off, and the car plunged into the river with a splash.

"This..." Su was dumbfounded after witnessing the whole process. He was certain that the accident was not directly caused by human intervention, but he was unsure whether there were any other hidden effects, such as curses or cosmic consciousness.

If we disregard all these factors, all Su can say is... this is just too damn coincidental! The way this happened is even more coincidental than Final Destination...

The car fell into the river and began to sink rapidly. Su Shi's figure flashed, and he used his Instantaneous Movement Technique to instantly arrive at the riverbank and rescue the people.

"boom!"

A loud crash came from the bottom of the river, followed by churning of the water. Elena's head popped out, and then she raised her hands, one on each side, and pulled her parents out as well.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..." The three coughed and gasped for breath. Then Elena saw Su Shi, who was about to come over to the river but stopped.

Upon seeing Su, Elena was initially taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Quick, come and help!"

Su blinked and quickly ran across the river.

To be honest, he never expected Elena to save herself and, incidentally, rescue her parents as well.

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to make any mistakes.

Although Elena only knows Chakra Refining Technique, having Chakra and not having Chakra are completely different. After all, even if you don't know ninjutsu, you can use Chakra to amplify other aspects.

For example, physical fitness, and... strength!

Chapter 370 A Changed Fate

"Cough...cough cough cough..." On the riverbank, Elena's parents, Rayson Gilbert and Miranda Gilbert, who had survived the ordeal, sat on the ground, panting heavily.

Elena, soaked to the bone, wrung out her hair and asked Su Shi with a mixture of surprise and relief, "How did you end up here?"

"I'm here to pick you up." Su glanced at Gilbert and his wife, who were gradually calming down, and said in a low voice, "I originally planned to help with the rescue, but I didn't expect you to do it all by yourself. Well done."

Elena was taken aback: "You knew we were going to be in trouble?"

Su nodded.

At this moment, Raisen Gilbert stood up and looked at Su with a complicated expression.

He still remembered the Su family, after all, they had bought his house before, and Elena and he had a good relationship.

Moreover, although the Su family was not well-known at the time, once the program "Extraordinary Residences" aired, the name of the Su family billionaires became known to most people, if not everyone.

Of course, what made Rasen Gilbert's expression complicated was not Su's identity or his relationship with Elena, but rather... that he could actually run on water!

Although it was indeed frightening and dangerous to suddenly fall into the river after a car accident, at least I didn't faint.

So, although he was terrified and in pain after being rescued, he could clearly see that it was Su who pulled him and his wife back to the shore by stepping on the river surface, as if it were flat ground.

Not only that, he also noticed that his daughter had walked back across the river.

And... when they fell into the river, it was their daughter who punched the glass and pulled them out.

Whether it's breaking the glass or pulling himself and his wife out of the car, these are not things that ordinary people can do. After all, under such great pressure in the water, only people with exceptional strength could accomplish this.

Elena is so delicate and frail, where did she get such strength?

Not right.

It's not right.

Looking at the composed Sue and her somewhat nervous and flustered daughter, Rayson Gilbert hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "Thank you so much for saving us. I shouldn't ask so many questions, but Elena is my daughter... Can you tell me how you did it? Why is Elena also..."

"I'll have Elena tell you later. Right now, call the police, go home and change into some dry clothes, and calm down." After saying this, Su nodded slightly to Elena, and then disappeared in a flash.
