Chapter 528: Chapter 532: Who Moved My Body (Part 4)

After a good night’s sleep, upon opening her eyes, even Su Li was given quite a scare.

A fully grown person stood rigidly at the bedside, staring intently, unnerving to behold in any light.

Yet Su Li only displayed a hint of surprise, frowning displeasure she said, "Get out."

Before she went to bed, she remembered locking the door, obviously, the household servant had opened it for Cao Zhiyu with a spare key.

It seemed she needed to move out quickly.

This villa, too, was purchased through Young Master Cao’s connections, and the household staff was hired through him, essentially, all her actions were under his control.

No wonder in her previous life the original owner had no chance to escape before being confined by Cao Zhiyu.

On the one hand, she was unguarded against her own parents, and on the other, the household servants reported her every move to Young Master Cao, the robust supporter from Xibei.

Su Li made no effort to conceal her disdain for Xibei, her gaze cold, showing none of the joy a girlfriend might when seeing her boyfriend.

"Didn’t you hear me? Is this the upbringing of the Cao Family, to enter a girl’s bedroom uninvited?"

Su Li’s words were like a provocation, not just rude in speech, but her raised eyebrows made her pretty face striking and impossible to ignore the scorn and disdain in her eyes.

Cao Zhiyu’s eyebrows creased deeper, his deep eyes fixed on Su Li for a moment before he turned and left without a word.

In the original owner’s memories, Young Master Cao had known from the beginning that Xibei was not the true heir.

But to him, the Xibei he knew from the start, the unique soul he loved, was all that mattered.

The next step, upon discovery of the real heir’s return, was probably going to provoke Young Master Cao into action.

Young Master Cao’s hasty and irate departure was swiftly brought to the ears of Su Family’s parents.

The door to the room that was closed again was knocked on persistently by Su Junjie.

Su Li swung the door open abruptly, Su Junjie still poised to knock, while Zhuersi clasped her hands tightly, awash with concern.

Clearing his throat, Su Junjie pulled Su Li aside and asked anxiously, "Did you have a fight with Mr. Cao?"

Zhuersi chimed in, "Xiao Li, don’t be wilful, Mr. Cao is really good to you. Your cousins are very envious that you found such a fine man."

Su Li scrutinized her seemingly worried parents closely, this being her first detailed observation of them since coming into this world.

It was apparent that, while they tried hard to create an impression of closeness between parents and child, some of their subtle actions betrayed a certain awkwardness and estrangement.

Although they voiced lectures, their tone betrayed a carefulness and appeasement.

In truth, when the original owner was old enough to take care of herself, to be more precise, it was she who took care of them.

Zhuersi would do nothing beyond cooking three meals a day.

The original owner learned to manage laundry, cleaning, and had to serve as the emotional dumping ground for Zhuersi’s outbursts.

Back then, they took for granted the original owner’s contributions, transferring all life’s frustrations onto her when she was still a child.

Su Junjie always said that if it weren’t for the original owner needing money for education, money that cost him dearly, he would have been able to save some, perhaps even start a small business, rather than being reduced to hosting dinner only at dingy diners.

Zhuersi had also said that had it not been for the childbirth ordeal, which confined her to the house and prevented her from going to work, she would not have had to extend her hand to ask her husband for money while pinching every penny.

The shameless behavior of the adults had been fully exposed in front of the original owner back then. But now, their attitude...

The original owner, upon her return, might have already perceived the harsh reality, considering how intelligent she was.

Only she concocted countless excuses, reluctant to acknowledge the truth before everything was laid bare in front of her.

Please allow that beneath her façade of strength, there was a heart tender and susceptible to injury.

Su Li looked coldly at the man and woman who were unworthy to be parents and suddenly said, "Do you even comprehend...?"

The abrupt question left Su Junjie and Zhuersi completely unresponsive.

Zhuersi chided, "Xiao Li, what are you talking about..."

Thinking her daughter didn’t like being scolded, she said, "We didn’t mean to be harsh. Don’t take it to heart, we are doing this for your own good..."

"Mommy is telling you..."

Zhuersi gently took Su Li’s hand, just like a loving mother.

When Xibei was in a good mood, her capricious character seemed to match Zhuersi’s gentle temperament, often nature resulting in moments of close mother-daughter intimacy.

Of course, the reality was Zhuersi cautiously catering to the other’s whims.

Should Xibei be angered, Zhuersi wouldn’t hesitate to mock and insult in front of others.

The original owner, curled up within her body, watched as Xibei used her body and treated her parents poorly, filled with the urge to explode on the spot.

She hadn’t considered that her parents might actually be enjoying it.

Outside, the perception of these parents was not good; people candidly remarked that "Su Li" really had it rough, with unreliable parents clinging to her and sucking her dry at such a young age.

Su Li impatiently interrupted Zhuersi’s caring mother routine, revealing a nasty smile, "I might have some bad news for you."

Without giving the Su couple a chance to be astonished, Su Li continued relentlessly, "The entity that occupied my body has been driven out by me."

"And, Cao Zhiyu probably knows about it... So I’m going to break up with Young Master Cao. I don’t want any of the gifts he gave me..."

"What nonsense are you spouting..." Su Junjie, hearing everything clearly, immediately reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, exploding with anger.

"You must be delusional. Don’t ever say such things again... What a load of nonsense..."

Su Li crossed her arms and leaned lazily against the doorframe behind her, "You really do know, don’t you."

At those words, Su Junjie and Zhuersi became visibly tense, speaking in roundabout ways without admitting anything, mouths agape, "I don’t know..."

Their panic-stricken gazes revealed everything; they were truly bad at lying.

Su Li: "It’s pointless to dwell on this subject. I won’t give up my body anyway, and you might as well prepare to leave."

"Cao Zhiyu is enamored with Xibei, not me, your daughter. So..."

Not letting Su Li finish, Su Junjie revealed his ferocious true face, "Young Master Cao loves my daughter! Tell me, what lost soul or wild ghost are you... daring to possess my daughter’s body. Leave at once, else be warned that I’ll hire a master to exorcise you."
