Chapter 77
Just go.
Originally, Su Guan had only come over for Fang Jinyue’s sake. Before she came, she had never expected to have such an awkward encounter with Wen Zhouqin and Su Yaying.
Su Guan knew that Su Yaying’s favoritism had always existed, but she had never encountered a situation where she would so openly display it.
Not only had Su Guan never encountered it, but even the original host—the original host had never even seen Wen Zhouqin before—had just thought that her mother didn’t like her.
Perhaps everyone had guessed that Su Yaying had an illegitimate daughter, but those were, after all, just rumors. Which wealthy family didn’t have a few scandals? To be unkind to one’s own daughter and attribute it to having an illegitimate child outside was, after all, a bit of a stereotype.
But today’s encounter had made Su Guan truly realize the problem: Su Yaying did indeed have an illegitimate daughter outside. She didn’t love her, and she was very fond of Wen Zhouqin.
Looking at Wen Zhouqin’s current style, she could be said to be in her prime.
As expected, after hearing Su Guan’s indifferent “I’m leaving,” Su Yaying didn’t reflect on herself but immediately asked in a suspicious tone, “Where are you going?”
Su Guan: “I’m going home.”
This was the Su family’s house, yet Su Guan was saying she was going home.
Su Yaying’s expression clearly grew even uglier.
Wen Zhouqin immediately said in a comforting tone on the side, “Mommy, it’s not easy for sister to come back today… You see, she wants to go back now. We don’t have many opportunities to see each other. She’s in such a hurry, she must have her own reasons. So let’s let sister go first!”
“You’re leaving?” Su Yaying was unmoved, standing there, her eyes fierce, glaring at Su Guan.
She was originally a strong person in the business world, and her every move exuded a sense of deterrence. Ordinary people were easily frightened by her.
Su Guan had originally not been so afraid of Su Yaying, but because of this body’s instinctive fear, when Su Yaying had raised her voice and shouted at her, Su Guan had still trembled involuntarily.
The original host had suffered a lot at Su Yaying’s hands when she was a child, she muttered.
Su Guan looked up, her tone firm. “Yes, I’m leaving.”
The two of them stood opposite each other, a long corridor between them, but they could only see each other in their eyes.
Su Yaying was dazed for a moment. This daughter had come from her womb and looked like her, but her personality was not like hers.
…But she had originally not wanted Su Guan to be like her. But now that Su Guan was not afraid of her at all, Su Yaying felt a thorn in her heart, and it was troublesome.
Su Guan was not like her, but Su Guan was also not like Fang Jinyue—if she were like her weak mother, Su Guan would not be standing at the door and confronting her.
Wen Zhouqin was still enthusiastically trying to smooth things over on the side. “Alright, Mom, don’t be angry. Sister is leaving in such a hurry, there must be a reason! It’s rare for her to see us. Logically, she definitely wouldn’t leave. Aiya, sister is still young and doesn’t know how to communicate. Mother, you usually interact with a lot of people at the company, and you have less communication with your sister…”
These words naturally came out of Wen Zhouqin’s mouth.
She had seen many such people at the pier when she was a child, eloquent and thoughtful. She had learned these things by ear and was also familiar with pretending and disguising.
As she spoke, she observed Su Yaying’s expression.
“If you leave, then don’t come back,” Su Yaying’s brow was deeply furrowed. She looked at the sensible Wen Zhouqin beside her, and her voice couldn’t help but soften. “After all, you’re the older sister.”
The older sister was indeed more sensible.
Before this, Su Yaying had always thought that Wen Zhouqin had lived in such a harsh environment, and her adoptive mother was not her biological mother and was not good to her, which would have some impact on her.
But now it seemed that she had been overthinking it.
At this thought, Su Yaying’s deeply furrowed brow relaxed. She had been overthinking it. It was time for Wen Zhouqin to change her surname back to Su. After all, she was her daughter.
Just then, Fang Jinyue appeared out of nowhere and looked at the confronting mother and daughter and the third party.
She stood there hesitantly, as if she shouldn’t have come here—
The two young people present were related to Su Yaying by blood, and Su Yaying and Wen Zhouqin were standing close together. They were close by blood and stood close. The two of them seemed to be a natural alliance.
And Su Guan, standing alone by the glass door, was not. She looked like a child who was about to be abandoned.
“Guan-guan! You’re here?” Fang Jinyue’s heart softened, and she immediately smiled and looked at Su Guan.
Seeing the only elder in this room who might be close to her, Su Guan inexplicably felt tears welling up.
“Mom,” she said. “Good afternoon. You said you wanted me to come and see you. Now that we’ve met, I can go.”
Although her tone was calm, her words carried a note of grievance.
Fang Jinyue’s heart also ached as if it had been stabbed. She didn’t dare to look at her daughter at all.
“Aiya? Auntie, why are you out too?” Wen Zhouqin, seeing Fang Jinyue come out, greeted her enthusiastically. “I only saw you once this afternoon. I thought you and Mother wouldn’t be able to see each other today.”
“It’s rare for sister to come back. I don’t know what urgent matter she has now, but she’s in a hurry to leave. Why don’t you persuade her, Auntie Fang?”
Su Guan choked. In all these years, she had rarely seen someone as shameless as Wen Zhouqin.
Others were two-faced, but she was not. She would just change her method of dealing with a different person.
A hint of anger rarely appeared on Fang Jinyue’s usually gentle face. She said, “I was the one who asked Guan-guan to come back today to see me, and her mother. It’s our family of three.”
But Wen Zhouqin pretended not to understand and even squeezed closer to Su Yaying, whispering, “I know, sister is Mom and Auntie Fang’s daughter… you’ve watched sister grow up. I only came back this year and haven’t had much communication with Mom, so I’m very close to Mom.”
Hearing this, Fang Jinyue’s fists clenched.
She took a deep breath, and the balance in her heart suddenly made a decision, tilting.
“Yingying, our daughter has rarely come back. Let’s have her stay for dinner tonight,” she said, not in a negotiating tone, and only spoke to Su Yaying.
But Wen Zhouqin was still whispering on the side, “Auntie is right. I haven’t had dinner with my sister in so many days…”
“Have you two spoken and compared your ages?” Fang Jinyue was rarely sharp, her gaze cold.
After all, she was the elder, and also half the master of this house. Wen Zhouqin shrank back, pouted, and didn’t say anything.
Su Yaying: “I’ve told her Su Guan’s age.”
“Oh, so they don’t know each other’s ages,” Fang Jinyue still used a declarative sentence.
Su Yaying suddenly felt that the person in front of her was a little strange, and a little familiar—very much like how Su Guan had just been standing at the door and confronting her.
Su Yaying was silent for a few seconds, then she sneered and said, “Fang Jinyue, what are you trying to do today? What, you want to get justice for your daughter?”
This topic had jumped too quickly.
“You were the one who asked her to come, weren’t you?” Su Yaying said.
“Yes, I was the one who asked her to come. Since Guan-guan is unhappy now, then she’ll go back.”
Wen Zhouqin stood behind Su Yaying again and said in a small voice, “Is sister unhappy today? Why is sister unhappy today?”
“Because you’re unhappy. Right, Miss Wen Zhouqin,” Fang Jinyue’s words were now also barbed, and she enunciated Wen Zhouqin’s name.
“After all, no family would welcome an uninvited guest,” with that, Fang Jinyue actually left on the spot and walked towards Su Guan, leaving behind a slightly trembling Su Yaying and Wen Zhouqin.
Although Wen Zhouqin was secretly happy, she couldn’t show it on her face at all. She still had a look of disbelief and asked what had happened.
This was not just a simple matter of a mother and daughter being estranged! The matter of her changing her surname to Su was already a foregone conclusion. Now Fang Jinyue was at odds with her mom again…
The Su family’s property seemed to be waving at her. It was not in vain that she had worked so hard to come to Jiangbei.
“Aiya, Mom, don’t be angry. Being angry is not good for your health. Sister must have something urgent. As for Auntie Fang, she must be concerned about her sister!” Wen Zhouqin seized the opportunity and continued to comfort her.
However, Su Yaying was already silent. She stared at Fang Jinyue’s retreating figure, and a feeling of unease suddenly welled up in her heart.
Further and further away, Fang Jinyue was getting further and further away from her.
But no matter what, they were each other’s first marriage partner.
Su Yaying was dazed for a moment, and an ominous thought flashed through her mind.
But Wen Zhouqin still wanted to attract her attention on the side and said enthusiastically, “Mom, didn’t you ask me about my mother last time? Come, come, don’t be angry. Sit down, sit down, I’ll tell you.”
With that, she eagerly led Su Yaying to the sofa on the side.
The mother she was referring to was, of course, her biological mother, Wen Fan. She was Wen Fan’s child, and she had taken the surname of her other mother, which was why she had this name.
From as long as she could remember, these two mothers had always been by her side. She had no memory of being displaced. As for the memory of not being her biological child, she couldn’t quite remember what it had to do with her. On the contrary, she had once had an older sister.
This older sister was not her biological sister.
Her sister’s name, like hers, had a water radical. Everyone called her Runrun. Sister Runrun was not her biological sister. Everyone in their neighborhood knew that.
But one day, people came from afar and took Sister Runrun away, and they had never seen each other again.
Wen Zhouqin didn’t tell Su Yaying about this. It wasn’t important. What was important was her mother, Wen Fan’s, affairs.
She was now scheming to change her name to Su with Su Yaying.
Fan Jinyue should let her go, and be done with it. Live your life mom ❤️
