Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ji ordered two types of broth.
The spicy hotpot was clearly boiling faster than the clear broth.
As Su Ji looked at the boiling oil in front of her, bubbling and sizzling, her expression suddenly froze.
The scene that appeared before her inexplicably in the morning flashed back in her mind.
She furrowed her brows.
In a daze, it had been nearly a minute since the lamb tripe was put into the boiling broth.
“Su Ji?”
Cao Zhuzhu called her several times before Su Ji snapped out of her thoughts. Seeing a few drops of hot oil splashing toward her fair hand, Cao Zhuzhu quickly grabbed her hand to shield it.
A few drops of hot oil landed on Cao Zhuzhu’s hand, but she didn’t mind, casually wiping it off with a tissue and smiling, “why were you lost in thought suddenly? Your lamb tripe is almost overcooked.”
Su Ji looked at the red and swollen area where the hot oil had touched Cao Zhuzhu’s hand, her beautiful eyes slightly widened.
It seemed like she knew…
She knew who the person was in the scene, the one who was splashed by the boiling broth.
At the same time, a sense of foreboding rose to its peak. Cao Zhuzhu was still in a daze when Su Ji pulled her up.
After the two of them got up, they saw a figure rushing toward them with a big pot of boiling oil!
And that person was already raising the pot, preparing to pour it!
Meeting a pair of bloodshot eyes, Cao Zhuzhu recognized Sonya.
In that instant, time seemed to slow down like a movie in slow motion, becoming remarkably lengthy.
Sonya’s expression revealed doubt in that moment.
She rushed over, avoiding everyone’s attention, and Cao Zhuzhu and Su Ji didn’t notice her at all. Originally, she could have immediately poured the whole pot of hot oil on Cao Zhuzhu, but just before that, Su Ji pulled Cao Zhuzhu up!
In the next moment, some observant waiters and passersby rushed over, their faces showing shock, trying to stop her.
Her steps were hindered by a passerby, and the pot of oil was directed at a very young waitress…
Sonya’s mind didn’t have time to react, instinctively changing the trajectory of the pour.
She avoided the young waitress.
In that slow-motion moment, everything returned to normal speed, and the surrounding people and staff members withdrew, their faces filled with astonishment, extending their hands trying to stop her.
Her pace was slowed down by the incoming passerby, and the pot of oil flew completely off, not splashing on Cao Zhuzhu but…herself!
A deathly silence spread through the hotpot restaurant, and then it spread even further… At some unknown second, chaos erupted, accompanied by
Sonya’s uncontrollable screams! “Quick, quickly call an ambulance!” “Oh my god! It seems to be Ms. Sonya!”
“Her… her face…”
Terrified voices reverberated one after another. Everyone was in panic, running back and forth, the waiters trying to maintain order to avoid a stampede. Su Ji and Cao Zhuzhu stood on the side, watching Sonya contorted in pain.
Cao Zhuzhu covered her mouth, unable to say a word.
su Ji:
Although it was unbelievable, she was certain that what she saw this morning was Sonya raising the pot to pour on Cao Zhuzhu.
She saw something that had yet to happen in the future.
In the future she saw, the person wailing in pain was Cao Zhuzhu. Thanks to her premonition, she changed her fate… She came back to her senses before Cao Zhuzhu, “is there a water hose?”
The waiter’s voice was a little dazed, “yes! ”
“Bring it out!” Su Ji calmly directed everyone to disperse.
The situation was urgent, and customers in the restaurant rushed to help. Even though they recognized Su Ji, there was no time to express their surprise as they followed her instructions.
For severe scalds caused by boiling oil, they must first rinse it with water and then removed the soaked clothing.
Cao Zhuzhu also joined in the help. The fabric of her sleeve was already stuck to the burnt skin.
Sonya showed signs of shock. Su Ji performed first aid without hesitation She threw her phone to the side and shouted to a passerby, “help me make a call and put it on speaker.”
The passerby picked up her phone tremblingly, “who should I call? The ambulance said they could arrive within fifteen minutes!”
Su Ji remembered the new contact name she gave to Pei Huai and paused for a moment, “Big Liar.”
“Ah?”
“Go to the contact list and search for ‘Big Liar.”
The person quickly did as she said, and the call was connected instantly. A low voice of a man came from the other end.
“Ah, it’s CEO Pei!”
“She calls CEO Pei a big liar?”
People around couldn’t help but discuss. Pei Huai was quick to notice the problem, “what happened?”
Su Ji wasted no time and, while performing first aid, explained the situation to him. Sweat beads appeared on her forehead.
Throughout the explanation, she was the one talking. When she finished, Pei Huai only said, “alright, leave it to me.”
At the same time, in a decent-sized apartment building in A City, which was not too big nor too small and mostly inhabited by elderly people.
Unit 1201 in Block Three. After receiving a phone call, Zhou Zhicheng took a half-day leave and waited at home the whole time.
He finally had the opportunity to see his son in this world, which made him feel delighted.
Before this, his ex-wife had blocked all news related to their son from him.
The flight was delayed by an hour and a half more than expected, and Zhou Zhicheng anxiously waited.
The news related to Sonya appeared in his phone, but he only glanced at it briefly before putting the phone away, showing no interest at all.
Wearing a mask and carrying a suitcase, it was evident that he came here straight from the airport.
Miyazawa Ta looked at Zhou Zhicheng, his chest heaving a few times. He suppressed the disappointment and sense of unfamiliarity, calling him just as his mother had taught him before leaving, with a face full of gratitude,
“father…”
Miyazawa Ta was Zhou Zhicheng’s son.
Miyazawa Rei, Zhou Zhicheng’s ex-wife, the empress of a past life, a neglected concubine, a gift of peace, and the only one who bore an prince for him…
In this life, Miyazawa Ta’s parents divorced when he was very young.
So in Miyazawa Ta’s memory, he had no idea what his father looked like.
Having had a father as dignified and prestigious as a duke, Miyazawa Ta couldn’t help but feel disappointed when he saw Zhou Zhicheng. Nevertheless, he knew that Zhou Zhicheng was the only one who could save him now.
Zhou Zhicheng was deeply moved by Miyazawa Ta’s calling him “father”. The two embraced for a long time before parting.
“Son, let me see your face.”
Miyazawa Ta wore a mask, and Zhou Zhicheng could only see his eyes. But even just by looking at his eyes, he recognized him. He looked exactly like his son from the previous life.
However, his skin looked uneven.
Then, immediately afterward, Miyazawa Ta took off the mask.
Zhou Zhicheng looked at him, his expression of delight gradually changing as he saw his son’s face covered in plastic surgery scars.. His voice suddenly turned ice-cold, “who did this?!”
