Chapter 1757 Sick Beauty 47

Su Batian and Meixiang are struggling for money every day, constantly wavering between opening a shop and closing it down.

The money Su Batian spent on Meixiang was almost all lost in opening a shop over the years.

Meixiang acknowledged Su Batian as her father, but it seemed like she didn't get any benefits. All the things Su Batian bought for her before had to be pawned, and she even had to take care of Su Batian.

Su Batian mortgaged the remaining land of Feilong Villa one piece at a time. Five years later, all the ancestral homes had been mortgaged by him.

Now he and Meixiang have already moved out of Feilong Villa and rented a small courtyard to live in.

Looking at the now cramped little courtyard, Su Batian couldn't help but recall his former life of extravagance and luxury.

Why is this happening?

He couldn't help but think of what Su Yan said, that if he wanted to recognize Meixiang, Su Yan would break off relations with him.

If he had known that what she said about breaking off the relationship was true, and if he had known that she would be so decisive, he would never have acknowledged Meixiang no matter what.

At worst, the father and daughter can recognize each other secretly. Why bother to provoke her?

Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now. The heartless Su Yan is gone forever, leaving him and Meixiang to depend on each other.

Even if Su Yan absconded with the money, he would not be leaving behind a mess. At least he had the huge Feilong Villa, so it would be easy for him to make a comeback.

However, he did not know how to run a business, and he was extravagant and had no self-control.

The remaining good resources are wasted in vain.

Li Musheng has always coveted the Su family's "Ba Dao" sword, and has repeatedly proposed that if the "Ba Dao" sword is used as a dowry, the Li family may be willing to lend a helping hand.

Su Batian has always disagreed. This is his last insistence. He still hopes that others will marry into the Su family instead of using Dao Pu as a dowry.

Meixiang started her old business again and began to take orders to kill people.

She can't do anything except killing people.

In the past, it could be said that Huangquan Dao controlled her and she had no choice.

Now, for money, isn't she still a killer?

Moreover, since she took the order, her life has improved. She no longer has to worry about having no money or being chased for debt.

Su Batian would only look at her with a guilty look on his face, saying that he would let her live a good life in the future. However, the harder he tried, the more unlucky he became.

The shop he opened had never been open for more than three months. He just lay down quietly and would not be a burden to her.

He used to think that making money was easy, but now he understands that it is not that making money is easy, but that others have a talent for business.

Meixiang accepted an order to go to the capital to assassinate a prince. The reward this time was extremely generous, and the other party was willing to pay three thousand taels.

Meixiang decided to take on this business and leave Taocheng for a while, and she felt relieved.

She had wanted to find out her own background before, but now she was beginning to regret it.

This kind of life was not what she wanted. She felt that her life was so tiring, even more tiring than being a killer.

Every day I have to worry about trivial matters and also take care of Su Batian.

He was very good to her, but he also caused her a lot of trouble.

This time she was going to assassinate a prince. Su Batian also knew that she had accepted a big order and understood that it must be very dangerous.

In the past, he would have advised her not to go, saying that being a killer was not the right path after all and that it was too dangerous.

But now he even wanted her to go quickly, and he didn't try to persuade her even though he knew it was dangerous.

If there were no orders for a long time, he would ask her why no one had asked her to kill people recently.

In just two short years, he had already gotten used to her being a killer and accepted her identity as a killer.

In the end, any father-daughter relationship will be defeated by reality.

On the day Meixiang left, Su Batian saw her off with a smile and told her to go home early as he would be waiting for her at home.

At that moment, she began to hate him and felt that he was not worthy of being a father. Why didn't he stop her? Why couldn't he let her live a normal life? Instead, he needed her to support him.

Meixiang felt as if she had become a tool to make money. She thought she had found her father and would have someone to rely on from then on, but she found out that she had only found a burden.
