Chapter 67 p3
“Huh? Mother isn’t at home, but Mom is?” Su Guan followed behind Auntie Mei, turning around and around, looking at her home.
Auntie Mei nodded and said, “Yes, Madam has gone out. Only the Mrs. is at home now. It’s still a while until dinner. Would you like to go and see the Mrs.?”
Su Guan didn’t reply to her immediately. It turned out she was looking at her phone.
The message from her mom, telling her to go and see her.
[Yes, I just got back. Where are you? I’ll be right over.]
Su Guan preferred to get down to business. Her trip this time was originally to see the situation at home—this morning, her mom had been vague, and at that time, Su Guan had already felt that something was strange. She hadn’t expected the scene to be so shocking when she arrived.
…Actually, she had a little guess as to who that Wen Zhouqin was.
She had thought of many possibilities, but she had never thought that she would actually bring a group of little sisters and lackeys to gather at her door!
“I’m back. I’ll go see Mom first,” Su Guan smiled and told Auntie Mei, “Please take care of my friend, Auntie Mei.”
The “friend” she was referring to was her buzz cut driver.
Auntie Mei was stunned. She had been organizing her words to talk about Miss Wen—she had guessed that the Eldest Miss would definitely ask. But the Eldest Miss didn’t ask at all and was now going to find the Mrs.
That was also good. Auntie Mei agreed.
Su Guan nodded and went straight upstairs to find her mom.
…
Su Guan had wanted to knock on the door but found that the door was ajar. Her mom was already waiting for her.
So she didn’t hesitate and pushed the door open.
Her mom was lying on a chaise lounge by the window, lazily basking in the sun. The moment she heard the sound of the door being pulled, she turned her head and smiled at Su Guan. “Aiya, Mom thought you were joking this morning! I didn’t expect you to be here already?”
“How can that be a joke?” Su Guan walked in and casually picked up a stool to sit on. “I said, if I’m going on a trip, it’ll take a month. If I don’t come over these next two days, we won’t be able to see each other for the next month.”
Fang Jinyue’s eyes darkened slightly. “That’s right, it’s rare for you to be so thoughtful… but you’ve always been a thoughtful child. Even though you’re married and taking care of your own wife, you haven’t forgotten your parents.”
She smiled, her eyes crinkling, as if she were satisfied with this kind of upbringing.
Su Guan gave a “mm” and still got straight to the point. “Mom, I’ll be direct.”
As if sensing the seriousness in her daughter’s tone, Fang Jinyue also sat up straight and replied in a serious manner, “Go on.”
She actually had a premonition of what her daughter was going to ask.
Just now, when she had lifted the curtain, everything was a confirmation.
Su Guan frowned and said, “I just ran into a group of people at the door… Mom, what’s the origin of that Wen Zhouqin?”
Her mom was living at home, and Auntie Mei also knew about Wen Zhouqin. It was impossible for her mom not to know.
—By the way, hadn’t her mom said this morning that she wasn’t at home? But Su Guan didn’t have time to think about this.
“Wen Zhouqin?” Fang Jinyue repeated these three words, looking very troubled, as if she were unwilling to say who she was.
The suspicion in Su Guan’s heart grew stronger.
Her mother was really a good O-mom. After her daughter had left, she had actually brought another child back from somewhere else.
“Her, she’s about the same age as you,” Fang Jinyue’s words were still vague. “Well, maybe you’re older than her? I’m not very clear on her specific age…”
Su Guan interrupted mercilessly, “Mom, it’s rare for me to come back. I just came back to see you. You have no idea what my mood was like when I just came back and saw a group of cars parked at our door… it was just so strange.”
“I’m a grown-up now, and I’m married. If there’s anything between you and Mother, you can just tell me. Including that Wen Zhouqin. Why don’t you just say it? You just say, what is her relationship with Mother,” Su Guan said, taking a deep breath.
Seeing that the woman had said so much, Fang Jinyue had no intention of continuing to hide it.
She sniffled and said, “Alright, then I’ll say it.”
Although the answer was so close, what was about to burst forth was Su Guan’s heartbeat.
This kind of thing… had actually happened.
Actually, there weren’t many people who followed the marriage law and were faithful to their spouses, let alone a big family like the Su family.
And her mom didn’t have the upper hand in this relationship.
But that wasn’t a reason for her mother to cheat and bring someone home.
“Actually, Little Wen,” Fang Jinyue drew out her words, “in terms of age, she is indeed about the same age as you. But I didn’t ask for her specific age. I hope you can understand.”
Fang Jinyue fell silent at this point, and Su Guan also fell silent.
After a while, her mom continued, “Actually, your guess is right. Yes, Little Wen is just as you imagined…”
Seeing her mom being cheated on and bullied like this, Su Guan was furious. She suppressed her anger and said, “Mom, you can be more direct! That Wen Zhouqin, isn’t she just an illegitimate daughter? Mother has brought her back now. Her intentions should be very obvious, right?”
Fang Jinyue shook her head repeatedly. “Ah, it’s not like that… ‘illegitimate daughter’ is a little too harsh. Actually, she’s just a child born out of wedlock, not a child of my and your mother’s marriage.”
Su Guan was so angry she was fuming. This mom of hers was just too kind! The child of a third party had come to their door like this, and she was still willing to speak up for Wen Zhouqin, saying she was a child born out of wedlock?
“Mom!” Su Guan called her with dissatisfaction. “Let’s not talk about this first. And, don’t call her Little Wen. I don’t like hearing it.”
“Is she living at our house now?”
Fang Jinyue: “Yes, just next to your room.”
Without thinking, Su Guan rolled her eyes. “If I were still living here, I would have definitely kicked her out.”
Fang Jinyue smiled and even persuaded her to be calm. “What’s done is done. And Little… Wen Zhouqin is also about the same age as you. Now that she’s at our house, you two sisters have to get along. Oh, she’s also an Alpha.”
“I know that,” Su Guan pouted, the image of Wen Zhouqin’s smug face just now appearing in her mind.
—What a surprise. Both of them were Alphas. Wen Zhouqin couldn’t be her mother’s child, could she?
But how could you explain the surname?
Su Guan carefully asked her mom how Wen Zhouqin had come to their house.
Fang Jinyue spoke, and Su Guan nodded.
It turned out that not long after Su Guan had left, Su Yaying had brought her home and had told everyone in the family to call Wen Zhouqin “Miss Wen,” saying that she had suffered in the past, and now that she had finally found her child, she had to give her all the help she could.
Her mom’s narrative tone was very calm, with no emotion. But Su Guan could sense the pent-up grievance in this calmness.
“Mom, you’re just willing to let this Wen Zhouqin in?” Su Guan frowned, still unhappy. “Her behavior is really disgusting.”
Of unknown origin, of an improper background, and she dared to be so wild at home? Su Yaying was too good to her.
Seeing that her daughter was still angry, Fang Jinyue continued to comfort her. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Mom is not young anymore, and Mom has you as a child! Now that you and CEO Gu are happy, I also feel happy. This is very good… you too, don’t be angry. Didn’t you say you were going on a trip with CEO Gu? If you see anything beautiful along the way, remember to take a picture and send it to Mom.”
Su Guan was sullen and said, “Mom, why don’t you go on a trip to relax too?”
“I’m old. I can’t keep up with you young people’s trends! And you’ve just gotten married. What would I be doing there? If I go, I’ll just ruin things for you…” Fang Jinyue refused repeatedly.
However, what Su Guan was saying was not like this at all. Her mom was as if she were being controlled, not understanding anything she said.
Su Guan completely gave up resisting. She had originally wanted to discuss with her mom how to kick that annoying person out of their house, but her mom was completely impervious.
In the end, Su Guan could only say goodbye to her mom. She knew that some things could only be relied on herself.
When she was leaving, Fang Jinyue was still instructing her, “When you go out later, if you run into Wen Zhouqin, still say hello to her.”
Say hello? It would be good if the two of them didn’t fight.
Su Guan had come today, and Fang Jinyue hadn’t treated her badly. She had given her a lot of things, but Su Guan hadn’t taken them.
She had said it before. Her life was very good now.
When she came down from upstairs, Su Guan noticed the change in the color of the room—it was no longer the cream-white from before, her mother’s favorite cream-white. It was now painted in a bright, vibrant color.
Although it was out of place with the surroundings, it had still been done.
It seemed this Wen Zhouqin really had some means, or rather, her mother was too doting on Wen Zhouqin.
She made up her mind. She had to kick Wen Zhouqin out. What her mom couldn’t do, she would.
Before she left, she also said a few words to Auntie Mei, saying to keep in touch.
Auntie Mei knew what she meant and said seriously, “Yes, Eldest Miss.”
Su Guan couldn’t hold back and stared at her. “Auntie Mei, you’ve been calling me Eldest Miss all this time. Did you know all along?”
Auntie Mei smiled awkwardly but didn’t say anything, avoiding Su Guan’s gaze.
Su Guan sighed, thinking it wasn’t her problem, and said goodbye.
Because her conversation with her mom had not been very pleasant, and she didn’t want to stay, Su Guan left quite early, not yet at the eight o’clock she had agreed on with Gu Yixi.
In the car, she had originally wanted to send a message to Gu Yixi to tell her she was back, but on second thought, she held back—
She said she would be late, but she was actually early. This could also be considered a surprise for her.
When she went back, she deliberately didn’t turn on the lights.
There was no one in the living room.
Then she should be in the bedroom, right?
Su Guan quietly approached the bedroom. The door was closed, but there was a strange clattering sound from inside.
Like an instrument clattering.
…There was even a faint sweet fragrance escaping.
An Omega’s heat often lasts for more than one day.
