Hospital ward.
“Old Master, look who’s here!”
The old man who was leaning against the bed head as he read the newspaper looked up. He held up his reading glasses as he identified the person before him.
Su Wanwan said shakily, “Grandpa, it’s me.”
She had not seen him in two years but it felt as though Su Xueqin had aged several years within this short period of time. His complexion was pale, his cheeks were sunken, and the hospital gown made him look weak and haggard.
“… Wanwan?” Su Xueqin was shocked. “Are you really Wanwan?”
Two years ago, Su Wanwan had been eighteen and in the rebellious phase of her teenage years.
Back then, she had short hair which was dyed gray, and would put on heavy makeup and dress in fancy outfits or unintelligible cosplay costumes. All that was lacking was a body full of piercings and tattoos.
However, in order to not make her grandfather worry today, Su Wanwan had taken the effort to dress up. She had put on some light makeup to conceal the red palm print on her face, and even borrowed one of Mo Weiyi’s demure dresses to wear.
She was already very beautiful to begin with, with a small face with delicate features. The pink dress accentuated her fair skin and flushed cheeks, and she looked extremely beautiful.
The current Su Wanwan was stunning, whether it was her facial features, figure, style, or dressing. Her appearance today was completely different from two years ago, so it was no wonder that Su Xueqin could not recognize her at first.
“Old Master.” Zhou Teng smiled as he said, “The eldest young lady came here specially to visit you.”
Mo Weiyi chimed in sweetly, “That’s right, Grandpa Su. Wanwan also bought all of these health products and supplements for you today.”
“It’s more than enough that you came back, why do you have to buy so many things?” Su Xueqin was complaining but he had a smile on his face.
Su Wanwan could not hold back and hurriedly asked, “Grandpa, were you hospitalized because that mother and daughter pair made you angry?”
Whack!
The teacup on the bedside table was swept to the ground and it broke into pieces instantly.
“I will not let that scumbag from the Xing family off this time!” Su Xueqin snarled.
Xing Yuyun was supposed to be the grandson-in-law that he had carefully selected from the whole of Nanchang. Two years ago, Xing Yuyun had already formed a marriage contract with Su Wanwan under the arrangement of the two families.
Who would have expected that scumbag to secretly get involved with his sister-in-law instead? The paparazzi even took some scandalous and unspeakable photos of the both of them!
If Su Xueqin did not use his connections to block the news, then there might have been an even bigger scandal!
Su Wanwan was a little shocked and frightened, so she went to comfort him. “Grandpa, don’t be angry. To be honest, I do not like Xing Yuyun at all.”
Su Xueqin frowned but he did not say anything at all. He clearly did not believe her.
“If it weren’t because you liked him, I would not have agreed to get engaged to him at all,” Su Wanwan admitted.
Su Xueqin was taken aback.
“I am telling you the truth,” Su Wanwan said quickly, “Back then, you seemed to like him a lot, so I could not bear to disappoint you.”
Su Xueqin looked at his granddaughter for a long time before he sighed quietly. “He seemed like a capable and fine-looking young man, and the second elder of the Xing family and I have also been acquaintances for so many years, so that was why we thought of bringing the both of you together. Who would have guessed… Wanwan, you can rest assured that Grandpa will definitely find you a man who is better than Xing Yuyun!”
“You don’t need to, Grandpa,” Su Wanwan refused his offer gently, “I am only twenty years old. I don’t want to get married so early.”
“What’s wrong with getting married early? If you get married early to a good man, then Grandpa can finally relax.” Su Xueqin pointed at the beautiful Mo Weiyi and said, “Just look at Miss Mo – she got married when she was only eighteen, and the young couple is living a good life together now. The old master of the Mo family cannot even be bothered to care about his family anymore, and is leading a peaceful life every day. It won’t be long before he can hold his great grandson.”
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips.
Great grandson? Well…
“Anyway, I just don’t want to get married.” After Su Wanwan declared that, she hurriedly changed the subject, “Grandpa, please take good care of your health and body first. From now on, I will come visit you every day. I will just stay in Nanchang in the future, I do not want to leave anymore.”
If she returned to Los Angeles for another two years, Su Wanwan was afraid that she would not have a foothold in the Su family anymore.
Su Xueqin had originally been reluctant to let his granddaughter study in such a far place, so he immediately agreed. “Okay then, you don’t have to leave anymore. You can stay by your grandfather’s side. I will certainly find a better man for you.”
Su Wanwan blinked.
How did they end up talking about that again?
***
Su family villa, seven o’ clock in the evening.
The table in the dining room on the first floor was covered with a white tablecloth and filled with a dazzling array of delicacies. The ‘entire family’ was enjoying dinner together.
When they saw Su Wanwan coming in, the happy chattering and laughter stopped immediately. Everyone at the dining table had different expressions on their faces. Some of them looked surprised, while some looked angry. Xing Yuyun frowned.
Su Wanwan had appeared at the Su family villa, then disappeared the whole day after that and could not be contacted through her cell phone at all.
Although Xing Yuyun looked very calm, he could not help but feel a little frustrated because of his guilty conscience.
However, he would not have expected that when they met again, Su Wanwan would already be completely free of the anger that she felt last night. In fact, there were no emotions on her face and she looked completely indifferent.
Logically speaking, any woman who got hurt because of love should be feeling very depressed or angry, just like how Su Wanwan was last night.
The Su Wanwan before him now was wearing a long pink gauze dress, and had the most popular and trendy makeup on her face. She had exquisite features, a graceful figure, and a pleasant smile on her face.
Her long, perfectly curled hair was casually draped over her shoulders in an elegant and feminine style.
She was simply glowing!
“Eldest young lady, I will get the tableware for you.”
“Thank you, Aunty Yang.” Su Wanwan smiled slightly before she sat down at an empty seat at the table.
She picked up a wet tissue and wiped her hands casually. After that, she opened her mouth and said, “I already used up all of my living expenses.”
Su Yuntang slammed his chopsticks down on the table as he sneered, “The reason you came back home is just to ask me for money?”
“Yes.” Su Wanwan replied as though it went without saying. Su Yuntang had a very tense expression on his face.
That was a sign that he was about to get angry and lose his temper.
“Dad!” Su Yanyan hurriedly chimed in to add fuel to the fire. “Just look at her attitude!”
Jiang Yi glanced at her daughter warningly then said softly, “Wanwan, you have already finished using up all of your living expenses? How much more do you need? Just tell me, and I will transfer the money to you.”
Su Wanwan glanced at her before said, “One hundred and seventy thousand yuan.”
Jiang Yi was taken aback.
One hundred and seventy thousand yuan?
That much money?!
“What do you need so much money for?” Su Yuntang shouted.
Su Wanwan took a sip of the red wine in front of her before she narrowed her beautiful eyes and said casually, “I want to move out of this house. I need money to rent a house, buy some furniture, and get everything else done. I don’t want to continue living here in the future, or else I will be forced to see my sister and former fiancée together at home every day. After all, this house is already old and the soundproofing is not very good either. My room is just next to her room so I will be able to hear everything. Furthermore, she is so good at yelling…”
Su Yanyan was so angry that she choked on her soup.
Jiang Yi had an embarrassed look on her face.
Su Yuntang slammed his hands on the table as he hollered, “You scoundrel!”
