Pampered By All In Different Planes

By the time they woke up the next day, it was already eleven in the morning.

It was late when they went to bed last night, and since they had some drinks, they woke up rather late. Su Zhiruan was the first to wake, and she couldn't help but allow her gaze to linger on the handsome man sleeping beside her for a while longer.

It must be said, Wen Qingyu was exceptionally handsome. Even someone like her, who was used to seeing good-looking men, couldn't help but marvel at his beauty.

And so, a new year had begun.

In this new year, she hoped everything would go smoothly.

She looked out the window and made a wish.

A month later.

Su Zhiruan saw the scene at the Su Family through her phone's surveillance.

It had been quite some time since she had paid any attention to the surveillance because, during the month following the Spring Festival, there had been several power outages, and the internet had also been disconnected. Her focus had not been on the Su Family, so she had stopped checking the surveillance. When she finally opened the surveillance app on her phone again, she was confronted with the sight that met her eyes—dried bloodstains and clumps of fleshy tissue, along with stark white bones.

One decapitated head was placed on the dining table, while another had rolled onto the floor, its eyes wide open in death; one was Su Yaozu and the other, Su Father.

Even Su Zhiruan, who had a relatively strong mentality, was startled by this ghastly scene. She almost threw her phone away, but Wen Qingyu was quick to support her, asking softly.

"What's wrong? Don't be scared, I'm here."

Su Zhiruan was still shaken, she didn't say a word but handed her phone to Wen Qingyu to look at the image that appeared on the monitor—

Suddenly, Wen Qingyu also gasped in shock!

"Did they kill each other?" Wen Qingyu frowned as he looked again at the utterly gruesome scene.

Despite feeling sick to her stomach, Su Zhiruan dragged the progress bar back to an earlier time and watched all the footage.

In the later stages of the low-temperature blizzard, food had always been acquired by Su Mother and Su Mingzhu through selling their bodies, making them gradually feel that the family couldn't do without them. As for Su Father and Su Yaozu, they were nothing but dead weights, living off others. So, when Su Father tried to exert his authority and oppress the mother and daughter, they couldn't take it anymore; they raised their hands and crippled Su Father.

From their words in the surveillance footage, it wasn't hard to infer that both mother and daughter were probably being kept by someone else, someone who had supplies and many women around. Although life was harsh, being with that man meant at least they had food to eat. They didn't have to put up with the humiliation from Su Father and Su Yaozu, nor did they have to scrounge for food to feed them.

How could there be such good fortune in this world!

So even Su Mother, who was usually meek, and Su Mingzhu, who was adept at pleasing Su Father and Su Yaozu, couldn't bear it anymore. After they left, Su Yaozu was left without a source of food, and he directed all his resentment towards Su Father. When Su Father couldn't take it anymore and decided to fight, he realized his body was not what it once was, and coupled with his disability, Su Yaozu, blinded by anger, chopped his own father to death. Su Father's eyes were wide open as he died.

Su Zhiruan was greatly shocked.

When Su Mother and Su Mingzhu came back to tidy up, they were startled by the scene they encountered. However, Su Yaozu didn't care about that. He wanted Su Mingzhu and Su Mother to find food for him, but by that time, the two women were already in collusion. Unmoved by Su Yaozu's pleas, and having come into contact with the darker aspects of the outside world, they decided to end it once and for all. They beheaded him, cruelly killing Su Yaozu, and placed his head along with the skeletal remains of Su Father.

Thus, the Su Family of four, once sweet and loving, had transformed into this horrifying, blood-soaked scene. Su Zhiruan archived all the surveillance footage of this segment.

By the beginning of March, the weather underwent another significant change.

Since the end of November last year, the heavy snow had gradually come to a halt. Many believed it to be a good omen, and now, in March, the snow was starting to melt completely. Everyone was anticipating the end of the blizzard and a return to their normal lives, rejoicing and celebrating.

Su Zhiruan stood on the third floor, looking at the scenery outside the window. The snow was melting quickly, and the window that had been impenetrable was now half-revealing the distant landscape. She couldn't help but frown.
