"He's probably dead," Qiu Zhi clicked his tongue, and after receiving a cold stare from Su Ziceng, he hurriedly corrected himself: "At least, in the eyes of the Wen family, he is dead."

Su Ziceng thought about himself at Su Qingzhang's funeral, it was just the same. In the public's view, he, who had broken the norms of respecting parents, might as well have died long ago. No wonder Sister Mu has been a recluse for years, numbing herself with alcohol.
