Chapter 523: When You Grow Taller, You’ll Be Able to See Your Daddy
In the end, he still didn’t say anything.
He really wanted to ask him, do you really not remember anything?
He couldn’t say it out loud, the person who had harmed him this way was his own relative, he couldn’t act as if it didn’t matter.
Until Ling Xiang also left, helping him close the door, when the world once again returned to calm, when everything around was quiet as if in a dream.
Su Yu then lowered his head and slightly closed his eyes.
From the dry corners of his eyes, suddenly dropped a single, crystalline tear.

Han Jing carried Xiao Xue back to the Ghost Realm all the way, not saying a single word to her along the journey.
"Mother, mother..." Xiao Xue called out pitifully, but Han Jing didn’t respond at all.
"Mother, Xiao Xue was wrong, Xiao Xue won’t run around anymore, Xiao Xue won’t go looking for father anymore, please don’t be angry with Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue really knows she was wrong, please don’t be angry, okay..." Xiao Xue’s chubby hand clutched Han Jing’s clothes, shaking them insistently.
But Han Jing sat on the chair, as if she didn’t see her, her eyes empty.
"Mother, mother... Xiao Xue really knows she was wrong,... if you’re angry, you, you can hit me, it doesn’t hurt... mother..." Xiao Xue crawled to Han Jing’s leg, hugged her neck, kissed her face: "Mother... please don’t be angry with Xiao Xue anymore, okay... Xiao Xue promises, there really won’t be a next time..."
Han Jing narrowed her eyes slightly, suppressing the pain about to overflow from her heart, then she pressed down on Xiao Xue’s small body, letting her sit properly on her lap, looking her in the eyes, seriously and earnestly said to her: "Xiao Xue, mother wants to tell you something, listen carefully."
Xiao Xue nodded obediently: "As long as mother is not angry with Xiao Xue, I will listen to whatever you say."
Han Jing reached out to rub her hair, gazing into her clear, big eyes, slightly absent-minded: "Good girl."
After a moment, she finally spoke: "Xiao Xue, mother knows you really want to find your father, but you have to understand, there are things in this world that you can’t do for the time being. Just like you are this tall now,"
Han Jing gestured with her hand, and then showed a taller height: "And you want to grow this tall now, do you think that’s possible?"
Xiao Xue shook her head in confusion.
"That’s right, it will take you a long time to grow that tall, by the time you reach that height, you will be able to find your father, then you can find him. So for now, don’t rush to find him, do you understand?"
Xiao Xue stared with her round eyes, looking at Han Jing, thought for a while, then asked: "So was the person we saw today my father?"
Han Jing...
"When you grow this tall, you’ll know who your father is, who you think is your father now is not really him. Understood?" How can you randomly recognize a father? Han Jing really wanted to know who had planted such big thoughts in this little child’s heart!
Xiao Xue nodded, feeling a bit of small sadness in her heart.
She also wanted to grow that tall, but she’s been growing for several years now and has only grown this much, how much longer will it take her to grow as tall as mother gestured?
"Mother, is it true that when I grow taller, I can really see father?" Xiao Xue looked up, a little disappointed, but still asked hopefully.
