Ms. Su smiled and shrugged: "Whether we know each other or not, we'll know after we meet."
“Okay,” Nidy agreed.
Although she genuinely didn't believe her mother knew the Su family, meeting them wouldn't be a big deal.
"I'm going with Nidi, you don't need to wait for me," Su said to Biyi before leaving with Nidi.
Not long after they left, Jennifer came downstairs and, seeing that Neydy and Sue were gone, asked Bea in astonishment, "He...he left with Neydy?"
Bi Yi said noncommittally, "If you need to talk to him, let's talk about it tomorrow. He told me not to wait for him when he left."
No need to wait? No need to wait!
Jennifer's expression turned incredibly ugly.
Chapter 228 The Demon Child Left Behind by the Yellow-Eyed Demon
Nidi's house was much cleaner and tidier than Su had imagined, and Nidi's mother was exactly as Su had guessed.
Her long hair was messy and she was unkempt, clearly someone who had been living a decadent life for a long time.
"Your boyfriend?"
Nidi's mother didn't seem to mind her terrible appearance and instinctively assumed that her daughter had a boyfriend when she brought a boy home.
American parents do not strictly forbid or prohibit their children from dating.
As long as you don't hide it and bring the person back to them to see, and make sure that this person won't corrupt your child, they generally won't stop you.
"Mom, his name is Su Shi. He's not my boyfriend. He's here to see you."
Nidi smiled awkwardly at Su.
Nidi's mother looked at Su Shi in surprise: "If you want my approval before dating my daughter, you don't need to. That's between you two. I just hope you won't hurt her. Her life... is very hard."
That sounds like there's a story behind it.
Su smiled and said to Nidi, "Could we talk alone?"
Nidi looked at her mother and then at Su Shi, nodding blankly, "Then I'll go upstairs first, you two chat."
After saying that, Nidi went upstairs to her room.
Su and Nidi's mother entered the living room. Nidi's mother sat down and looked at Su with the same puzzled expression: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Su raised her hand with a smile but said nothing. Nidi's mother frowned in confusion, and soon after, she stared in shock.
A bottle of wine appeared out of nowhere in Su's hand.
Nidi's mother's face changed drastically. She suddenly bent down and reached under the sofa cushion, pulling out a small knife. She held the knife with both hands, pointing it at Su Shi, her expression ferocious and her eyes filled with terror.
"Don't do anything reckless, or I'll fight you to the death."
Isn't this reaction a bit excessive? And who would hide a knife under the sofa for no reason? That would make you feel incredibly insecure.
"Although it's not very polite to say it like this, I'm glad you reacted this way, which means my guess was right and this trip was worthwhile."
Su spoke slowly, gently and calmly opening the bottle and handing it over: "No matter who you think I am, I am not!"
"Do you think I'll believe your sweet talk? I know you can turn into anyone. You've already caused me to lose my husband, and I will never let you hurt my daughter!"
Nidi's mother took a deep breath and suddenly pointed the knife at her own neck: "Spare my daughter. If you're willing to spare my daughter, I'll give you my soul."
Seeing Nidi's mother's resolute expression, Su couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of maternal love.
He explained earnestly in a gentle tone, “First of all, I am not a demon; secondly, I will not hurt you or Nidi. I don’t know what your family has been through, but I know of similar situations. Tell me about it, maybe I can help you.”
“You…you’re really not a demon?” Nidi’s mother asked, frowning.
Su nodded and smiled, saying, "If I were the devil, would I treat you this way? No matter what the devil wants, you and Nidi are powerless to stop it."
"Okay, I'll believe you for now." Nidy's mother lowered the knife from her neck with some skepticism, but still held it in her hand.
Su placed the wine in front of Nidi's mother and sat down at a certain distance from her.
Nidi's mother hesitated for a moment before slowly beginning to speak: "It all started when I was first pregnant with Nidi..."
As Nidi's mother recounted her memories, the knife in her hand unknowingly turned into liquor.
Back then, Nidi's mother, who was only a few days pregnant, was in a very serious car accident and was on the verge of death when she was taken to the hospital.
The grieving father, Nidi, was devastated by the loss of his wife and child and nearly collapsed. Just then, a man appeared and promised to save his wife and child, but on the condition that the child belonged to him and that he would come back to take the child away later.
A heartbroken and devastated father agreed, only to be overjoyed to find that his wife had passed the critical period and was recovering quickly and smoothly.
"Glug..." Nidi's mother took another big gulp of wine and continued speaking in a low voice.
Neely's mother was unaware of this at the time, and Neely's father didn't mention it either. It wasn't until Neely's mother gave birth to Neely that Neely's father finally couldn't help but confess to her.
At first, Nidi's mother didn't believe it, or rather, she was skeptical. Peaceful days passed by, and Nidi gradually grew up until she was six months old.
One night, that person appeared in Nidi's nursery.
When they found out, the person had already come out of the nursery. They didn't know what the person had done to Nidi, but it certainly wasn't anything good.
Nidi's father changed his mind and wanted to change the terms, even if it meant risking his own life.
But that person turned on them and revealed their true colors.
demon!
Or perhaps they had already guessed that the person was a demon, but they refused to admit it, clinging to wishful thinking.
The demon burned Needy's father to death and then disappeared. Needy's mother was devastated by this, and she might have committed suicide long ago if it weren't for Needy.
As Nidi grew up, Nidi's mother, living in fear of losing her daughter at any moment, gradually became addicted to alcohol and drugs, turning into the person she is today.
“…Bang!”
Nidi's mother put the bottle on the table and turned to look at Su: "Whether you are an angel, a devil, or anything else, it doesn't matter. As long as you can protect my daughter from being taken away by the devil, I am willing to pay any price."
As she spoke, Nidi's mother suddenly slid off the sofa and knelt down in front of Su Shi with a thud.
Before Su could react, Nidi ran out from the corner of the stairs, her eyes red.
"mom!"
Nidi rushed to her mother's side and hugged her.
“Nidi, you…you heard everything?” Nedy’s mother looked at her daughter with some panic. “I didn’t want you to know. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let you go through this.”
"No, it's my fault for making you go through all this. If it weren't for my father, you wouldn't have..."
"Cough cough."
Su coughed a few times, interrupting the touching scene between the mother and daughter.
"What's the point of you two crying your eyes out? You need to tell me what the demon looks like, what the features of its eyes are, so I can identify which demon it is. If we're lucky, the things we've been worried about all these years might never happen."
Nedy and her mother exchanged a glance. Nedy's mother hurriedly said, "He... he can turn into anything. I don't know what he looks like, but I remember very clearly that his eyes are yellow."
"The Yellow-Eyed Demon? Congratulations, you're probably already dead. I... killed Zhan!"
……
P.S.: I've been stuck on this chapter for a long time...
Chapter 229: Accepting Nidy and the Bar Conflict?
Su took out the corpse of the yellow-eyed demon Azazel, which was sealed in the scroll, and asked Mother Nidi, "Is it him?"
“It’s him, it’s him! I remember this face!” Niddy’s mother said excitedly.
Su nodded. It was confirmed. Nidi was indeed the demon child left behind by the yellow-eyed demon Azazel. As for why she raised Sam and Ava and then raised other demon children, the reason was unknown.
"You're lucky. You won't have to worry about this guy coming after you anymore, but..."
Su paused slightly, then turned to Nidi and her mother who were looking over and said, "There are quite a few demon children like Nidi. I have one right here with me. The new Lord of Hell is hunting down demon children in a massive effort to eliminate his remaining forces. Although you're not in the same group as them, once your identity is discovered..."
"Help her, help Nidi!" Nidi's mother pleaded urgently.
Niddy was somewhat bewildered. She was just an ordinary girl from a small town, how did she suddenly become the child of a demon? Her father was killed by a demon, and she might have to face the pursuit of a new king of hell? All of this happened too fast, as fast as a dream.
“I…” Nidi looked at Su Shi with some helplessness. Su Shi remained silent, seemingly waiting for her decision.
Seeing this, Nidi's mother hurriedly nudged Nidi. She knew very well that this was the demon who had killed her husband. It seemed that this demon was the former Lord of Hell. Su was able to kill him and knew so much, so he was obviously a more powerful being than that demon. As long as Nidi followed him, her chances of surviving safely would definitely be higher than they were now.
"Can I...can I follow you from now on?" Nidi understood her mother's meaning and knew that following the Su family was definitely the best choice at the moment, but unlike Jennifer, she was not eloquent, and her inferiority complex made her unsure how to express herself.
"it is good."
Su chuckled and said, "With great power comes great responsibility. I'd be happy to take care of a girl like you."
Nidi and her daughter thanked Su immediately after she agreed.
Su collected the corpse of the yellow-eyed demon and chatted with her daughter about the yellow-eyed demon and the demon's son.
"Take care of things at home and school as soon as possible. I won't be staying here for long. Also..." Mrs. Su signed a check for one million US dollars and handed it to Nidi, patting her on the shoulder: "So that you won't worry about your mother in the future, this money is enough for her to live comfortably from now on."
"I...I can't see my mother anymore?" Nidyl's first reaction was that she was going to be separated from her mother forever.
Su shook her head speechlessly: "It's not that bad. When you're strong enough to stand on your own, you can see her anytime. This separation is a form of protection for her."
Nidi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to Madam Su.
Su smiled and vanished in an instant with a whoosh.
"Ok?"
Su frowned slightly as she looked at the somewhat noisy bar. On the stage in the corner, a group of people were watching the band perform. Not far away, Jennifer sat there, head down, drinking her drink, exuding a very somber aura.
The band Low Shoulders should be performing on stage, but... shouldn't Jennifer be resting at home? Why is she at a bar?
“You’re not old enough to drink alcohol yet, are you?” Sue sat down next to Jennifer and casually picked up the bottle.
Jennifer was taken aback: "You, how did you know I was here? Didn't you leave with Nydy?"
“First of all, we made some things very clear from the beginning; secondly, who I went with is not a reason for you to come out drinking now.” Su stared at Jennifer sternly.
Jennifer initially wanted to resist defiantly, but Su's piercing gaze made her afraid to meet his eyes. His overwhelming aura made it hard for her to breathe.
