Chapter 272 - 273: She’s Just a Child
[Am I hearing this right? Is the streamer saying she’s really the one who caused it?]
[Damn, you really can’t judge a book by its cover. This girl who looks so cute and innocent is actually capable of hurting someone.]
In an instant, the victim became the culprit.
The little girl’s face paled, but she forced herself to remain calm, trying to keep her voice steady.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about. Zhang Xiaoya and I were very good friends."
She was only fifteen or sixteen, and although her performance was full of holes, to be able to pull it off this well could be called a strange sort of talent.
Su Nian propped her hands on the table, looking down at the girl condescendingly.
"If you’re sure you want to stick to that story, then I can only tell you that you won’t live past tomorrow."
Su Nian was always confident, and her tone didn’t waver in the slightest as she spoke.
The girl’s expression stiffened. She still wanted to be stubborn.
But her mother, who had been trying so hard to stay quiet, exploded.
A mother knows her own child. From the very beginning, she had found it strange that her daughter insisted on seeing this master.
She never expected it was really her child who had caused all this trouble.
"You damn kid, you’re going to be the death of me! What are we going to do now?!"
She felt like she couldn’t catch her breath, like she was about to faint.
"Master, what do we do? What do we do?!"
No matter how turbulent her emotions were, she tried to suppress her panic, looking at Su Nian with a pleading expression.
[At first, I thought her mom was the weird one.]
[Then I realized her whole family is messed up.]
[It really is weird. This mother and daughter are so unlucky. The mom attracts ghosts, and the daughter attracts ghosts too.]
[Nah, the mother attracting ghosts, you could call that bad luck. But this girl attracting a ghost? I feel like she deserves it.]
Su Nian said nothing, just looked at the girl with a faint smile, her eyes curving.
The girl was stubborn. Even now, she didn’t say a single word, just remained silent as if this had nothing to do with her.
Watching her mother, who was on the verge of tears, she remained completely indifferent.
It was as if the meek girl who had just walked in wasn’t her at all, but just a figment of Su Nian’s imagination.
In that moment, she had reverted to her true self.
’For a moment, Su Nian wondered if she should praise the mother for her excellent parenting.’
After all, such an emotionally unstable mother had somehow raised such an emotionally detached daughter.
After a long silence, Su Nian spoke, ready to send them away.
"If you don’t want to talk, you can leave."
Her tone was steady, tinged with coldness.
[This is boring. She’s just wasting the streamer’s time.]
[All I can say is the streamer is too kind. If it were me, I would have kicked her out immediately.]
[What is she doing, trying to act all mysterious?]
The girl finally looked up from her gloomy silence.
"I didn’t mean to do it. I didn’t know things would turn out like this."
Su Nian nodded nonchalantly.
She watched the dark soul form behind the girl draw closer and closer.
The deathly aura emanating from the soul began to slowly envelop the girl’s body.
"You damn kid, hurry up and talk! Let the master help you!"
Her mother, standing to the side, was beside herself with anxiety.
Tears welled in her bloodshot eyes, and her chest heaved like a bellows. Her heart felt like it was being fried in oil.
"You child! Hurry up and talk!"
The girl was silent for a while before she lowered her head and began to speak slowly.
"Back then, nobody liked her, and nobody liked me. But I didn’t like her either. She stank, and her hair was so greasy. If it wasn’t for the fact that I had no one to hang out with, I wouldn’t have even given someone like her a second glance!"
"She was fat and ugly, and I really didn’t want to hang out with her. My mom was always losing her temper with me, so for some reason, I started taking it out on her."
[All I can say is, her mom deserves some of the credit—or maybe all of the blame—for her turning out this way.]
[Some of the credit? She’s the number one reason.]
[Totally. She’s basically a carbon copy of her mom.]
Su Nian gave another noncommittal nod. The girl felt a bit awkward, but she forced herself to continue.
"I wasn’t thinking much of it at the time. But for some reason, when I started bullying her, people started hanging out with me."
"So I bullied her even more. But she never said anything, so I didn’t think it was a big deal."
"Until... until she jumped off the building..."
Perhaps knowing she was in the wrong, the girl cowered, lowering her head, too afraid to speak.
Su Nian tsked, her tone full of disgust.
"You know why she jumped, don’t you?"
Hearing this, the girl grew even more flustered. Her eyes darted around cautiously, not daring to meet Su Nian’s gaze.
"May... maybe because everyone was bullying her?"
[I can’t believe her. If you have the guts to do it, have the guts to admit it!]
[Maybe? Maybe my ass! You’re the one who bullied her, and you still won’t admit it!]
[The commenter above might be aggressive, but I like it!]
Her mother was so angry she was speechless. From the moment she heard that her own daughter had actually bullied a classmate...
She was completely dumbfounded, her jaw agape, but she was still thinking about how to clean up her daughter’s mess.
Now, hearing her daughter speak so timidly, she was so enraged she couldn’t breathe and nearly died on the spot.
It had to be said, although she was quick-tempered, her character was at least upright.
Just then, she slapped the girl’s arm hard.
"You damn kid! You damn kid! Bullying a classmate is one thing, but to have this attitude about it? You deserve to have her come back as a ghost for you! You’re really going to be the death of me!"
The girl’s arm turned red from the slap, but she just kept her head down, dazed, as if she didn’t react at all.
Su Nian watched her, able to see the worry and panic in her eyes.
But unfortunately, she wasn’t worried about the other girl’s death. She was afraid the girl would come to claim her life and drag her down to Hell with her.
Watching the mother, who looked like she was about to lose her mind again, start to beat her daughter frantically...
Su Nian shook her head. "Go ahead and hit her. It would be for the best if you just beat her to death now. That would save the other one the trouble of doing it herself."
Su Nian’s tone was very cold, with its usual air of superiority.
The girl’s mother was stunned. She hadn’t expected Su Nian to say that.
Then she burst into tears, wailing. She felt she had lost all face today, but there was nothing she could do. This was her child.
"Master, I’m begging you, please save her! She’s only fifteen or sixteen, she’s still just a child!"
[Tsk, ah, the classic excuse.]
[And who isn’t a baby?!]
[What about the girl she drove to her death? Wasn’t she a child too?]
[You bully someone when they’re alive, and then you chicken out when they’re dead.]
Su Nian looked at the girl, who had clammed up and lowered her head ever since the truth came out, letting her mother fight her battles for her.
Su Nian shook her head, her lips twisting into a mocking curve.
"If you hadn’t said she was a child, I would have thought she was a fool."
