194 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
Chapter 194: Marry Your Uncle! "Host, I want to play a game. I haven't checked in today yet." Su Qi had given up on studying and was currently hiding in the restroom. Why use the word 'hiding'? Because she genuinely couldn't eat any more. She finally understood yesterday what Wu Wei meant by being 'force-fed' by a mother. From the early morning, Lu Ran began feeding her nourishing food, one dish after another. Su Qi finally realized that there's a kind of hunger, the kind your mother thinks you have. Not being someone who is good at refusing, especially when faced with her mother's loving gaze and the food she handed over, Su Qi had no choice but to tuck herself away. That's when she heard the voice of the system assistant. “You can play after you’ve checked in with your family!” Mmmm, Su Qi felt this system assistant was becoming more and more like a little kid. Speaking of which, miHoYo made this game way too addictive, even captivating the system assistant like this! But instead of just focusing on playing games, shouldn’t you be more concerned about your host’s health? After experiencing the chaos of last night, Su Qi, though still in some pain, found it to be bearable and her stamina had finally recovered to 60 points. Having switched out for another substantial period of rest in the morning, Su Qi thought that people really are adaptable creatures; in just one short day, she had come to accept and even appreciate this little 'guardian angel' — she now wanted to give it a positive review. Upon exiting the restroom, Su Qi was surprised to discover two more people in the room, Officer Zhang Ru and her own brother. Noticing their togetherness, Su Qi sensed a hint of romantic intrigue. Originally, Officer Zhang Ru planned to give this little girl a good talking-to when she saw her, at least scold her a couple of times. But seeing Su Qi walking out with a pale face and clutching her stomach, she thought better of it. Besides, wouldn't spanking her now be... The little girl sat on the hospital bed, greeting her with those innocent, wide eyes, glancing between Officer Zhang Ru and Su Siyang, full of curiosity. This, Officer Zhang Ru realized, made her forget entirely about the ID card issue she was supposed to handle. So, she nudged gently, "Did you forget something yesterday?" Lu Ran, observing Officer Zhang Ru and her son upon entering, began assessing her. Seeing her handsome face and curvaceous form, Lu Ran felt satisfied that she was a girl capable of bearing children. Her straightforward personality, not like those pretentious little girls, also raised Lu Ran's impressions of her further. And now, witnessing her good rapport with Su Qi, she felt even more content! She instinctively nodded with satisfaction. Officer Zhang Ru clearly noticed Lu Ran's gaze, causing her to feel as if she was cast in the role of a daughter-in-law being scrutinized by a future mother-in-law from TV dramas. Having tricked the little girl just yesterday, Officer Zhang Ru remained cautious of Lu Ran due to her considerable influence. Reminded by Officer Zhang Ru's bluntness, Su Qi finally recalled the task concerning her ID card that had slipped her mind. Remembering how Officer Zhang Ru had reminded her no less than three times to be ready the previous day, and how she ended up no-showing, a pang of guilt coursed through Su Qi, causing her voice to drop meekly as she confessed. "Yesterday, I was supposed to get my ID!" Looking at Su Qi's embarrassed expression, Officer Zhang Ru figured she must have simply forgotten, though, for some reason, found herself unable to feel upset over it. Perhaps this girl's expression was just too endearing. Watching her daughter's extremely honest demeanor, Lu Ran found it amusing. They say children take after their parents; in small habits and mannerisms, one can often see traits inherited from them. Su Qi’s expression was uncannily similar to Su Lujun's. Her eyes settled on Su Qi’s petite face and her dimples, and Lu Ran quietly sighed in relief — thankfully, she took after her in looks. However, speaking of ID cards, Lu Ran suddenly recalled that Su Qi’s gender on the current card was marked as male. But having it processed yesterday? Observing her daughter’s wan countenance and colorless lips clad in hospital garb, Lu Ran doubted the outcome of any potential ID card photo session. Shouldn’t her daughter be dressed up a little more? After all, an ID card photo would remain for years. With that, she asked, "Can we wait a couple more days?" Officer Zhang Ru was taken aback at Lu Ran's comment; although she had discerned Lu Ran's fondness for the little girl — no, more like indulgence. She shifted her gaze towards Su Siyang, inquiring sharply, "You haven’t mentioned anything regarding her situation at school?" Lu Ran was puzzled. What possibly could have happened at school? Moments later, Officer Zhang Ru recounted the incident involving Yang Ming to Lu Ran. Actually, Su Qi thought it wasn't a big deal. After all, as her past male self, being harassed wasn't something glorious and there was no need to disclose it to Lu Ran to cause unnecessary worry. Moreover, since the school had already decided to punish Yang Ming, and the court case was set to proceed, it was a settled matter. Lu Ran, on the other hand, didn't take it so lightly. Once Officer Zhang Ru finished her recount, Lu Ran dragged Su Siyang by the ear out into the hallway; she didn’t want to leave a violent impression on Su Qi. At that very moment, Su Lujun arrived from the elevator as well. Already upset with his son, he didn’t inquire about the situation, simply delivering a swift kick. Lu Ran, noticing it was Su Lujun, didn't stop it. "This is such a big deal, and you kept it from us?" She said while twisting Su Siyang's other ear. Indeed, Lu Ran had once checked Su Da's forum, but the article had long been taken down by Yang Dashuai's money, leaving her clueless about the situation. Never did she expect that her son would keep such a major event from her! "Stop twisting, Mom. Dad, ease your kick, please." Su Siyang retreated into a corner to evade the double attack, shielding himself as he explained, "I have already taken Yang Ming to court and hired a lawyer for Su Qi." Despite this, he received another kick from Su Lujun. Upon hearing this, rage filled Su Lujun and he accelerated his actions, continuing to scold him about the events of yesterday. After hearing the complete story, Lu Ran felt as if she might explode in anger. Angrily, she twisted Su Siyang's ear once more. Son accused of harassment, Yang’s family coercing and threatening — such truly vile tactics! "Hmph, a Shanxi coal boss extending his reach this far," Lu Ran’s usually gentle voice turned cold. Turning to her husband and son, she stated, "Then why are you both still standing here?" Before Su Siyang could protest, he was whisked away by Su Lujun. Poor guy, after a five-hour drive from Su City early morning to see his sister, ended up being a punching bag; in the end, he became the driver again. Driving away, Su Siyang fumed, growing ever more irritated. Was his family trip here only meant for him to suffer a beating? All his frustrations shifted onto the unknown Yang Ming and his family. Yet he felt fortunate; it was just yesterday when Su Qi arrived in Su City. Hearing that some thugs were scouring Su City in search of Su Qi, he pondered if she had actually been abducted and traumatized, he, as her brother, would be consumed with regret. That day, massive upheavals erupted across Su City as police, following leads from Biao Ge’s confession, uprooted three major gangs. Furthermore, information from Biao Ge’s computer led to the capture of several clients who hired them. Among those arrested was Yang Dashuai, who had handed over a million in cash. It was at this juncture that complications arose in the case. Yang Dashuai, provided his ID, which startlingly displayed the name — Yang Daming. Moreover, the fingerprints found on the contract did not match his. The most perplexing issue was the destruction of the surveillance footage. Though the building’s footage confirmed Yang Dashuai’s entry into Biao Ge’s shell corporation. However, Yang Dashuai, or rather Yang Daming, staunchly denied any connection with the million-dollar dealing. Although Biao Ge’s accusation offered ample evidence, leading the police to detain Yang Daming for at least 24 hours. Su Lujun, having just inserted a new SIM card into his newly bought phone, immediately received a call from an old comrade in Su City. He felt a surge of excitement, mixed with curiosity. "What’s up? Swallowed a bee or something? You sound pretty upbeat." Over the phone, he heard, "They’re actually trying to bail Yang Daming out, and I’m curious who the big fish behind this is!" As an old-school military man, though rather obstinate, Su Lujun was someone of strong principles. Ascending to the rank of division commander required skill, but loyalty and integrity were equally crucial. Understanding his friend’s desire to weed out such corrupt officials, Su Lujun empathized deeply. He had the same aversion to injustice. But the next moment, his friend changed the subject: "Hey, old Su, I hear your daughter’s quite the beauty. How about we become in-laws?" Upon hearing this, Su Lujun’s eyebrows shot up, retorting angrily: "Marry your uncle!"
