Picking up the check, Yan Susu smiled radiantly. “Thank you so much, Madam Ling. Don’t worry. As long as you keep your son on a tight leash and don’t let him harass me, I will definitely stay as far away from him as possible!”
Looking even angrier, Madam Ling walked away, pulling Yan Tingting alongside her.
Putting on a pained look, Yan Tingting made a show of apologizing, “Aunty, I am so sorry. Allow me to apologize on my sister’s behalf. She must have an unspeakable reason for demanding such a huge sum of money…All these years, to help Xiusi with his business, she had slept with many men and, for all we know, could even be pregnant now…”
At that, Madam Ling looked even more disgusted and responded, “You have done nothing wrong, so you don’t need to apologize on her behalf. That dirty woman. It’s just as well your family kicked her out along ago; otherwise, there’s no guessing how much damage she could do to the Yan family’s reputation!”
Yan Tingting turned to look at Yan Susu and smiled smugly.
“That wretched Yan Tingting. I would dearly love to tear her apart!” He Xiaoyu muttered in anger. She felt that Yan Tingting had been let off too easily.
It was the same every time. She always acted like she was trying wholeheartedly to protect Susu, but in reality, every single word she said was meant to smear Susu.
And those idiots had believed her. It was just so frustrating!
Seeing her best friend so worked up, Yan Susu laughed and tried to appease her. “Now, now. Just cool down. We just made a lot of money. Come on, let’s go shopping and indulge ourselves.”
This time, for sure, she was cutting ties with Ling Xiusi, the Ling family, and her past, never to return!
“Susu, you did exceptionally well today. I love you to bits!” He Xiaoyu instantly bounced back from her dark mood as she cupped Yan Susu’s face and planted a noisy kiss on her cheek.
Yan Susu laughed softly. After loading her things in the car for the driver to send home, she went on a wild shopping spree with her best friends.
He Xiaoyu, noting that Yan Susu had walked into a store that sold kids’ clothing, raged, “Hang on, why are we in a kids’ store? Don’t tell me that you plan to buy clothes for that wretched Lu Liwan’s daughter? I’m warning you, don’t do it!”
Laughing, Yan Susu looked at her and said, “Don’t worry. I’m not shopping for her child.”
“Then what are you doing in a store that sells kids’ clothes?”
“I’m shopping for my son.” At the mention of Lu Xingguang, Yan Susu simply radiated maternal instinct.
He Xiaoyu and An Ran looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. After a long moment, they asked, trembling and with extreme caution, “Have you found your child?”
Six years ago, Yan Susu had disappeared for a very long time.
Then, they were notified by a hospital that she had been found.
They had also been told that she had just given birth…
But Yan Susu had no memory of what had happened during her disappearance, let alone of having given birth.
But now, what…?
“Not that. I’m married now, into a family with a child.”
This time, the pair were even more shocked. He Xiaoyu let out a shriek, tugging at Yan Susu and yelling.
“Yan Susu, why are you so determined to destroy yourself? Leaving Ling Xiusi does not mean that you must demean yourself. The world is full of good and eligible men. Why would you want to marry a divorcee with a child? Why would you want to be a stepmother?”
Amused, Yan Susu replied, “Why can’t I marry a divorcee with a child? You know that I may never be able to have a child again…”
“Susu…”
It didn’t really matter what was being touted on a daily basis about women’s liberation. A woman who could not have children would still be regarded as a weirdo, an object of criticism.
What family would want a woman who couldn’t have children?
What man would be content with a woman who couldn’t have children?
“Xiao Yu, don’t you worry about me. This is a good outcome. I don’t need to worry about being ridiculed for not being able to have children. I can be rid of Ling Xiusi. Also, that man and his child are very good to me. I know that I will not be ill-treated there.”
