《I Married a Billionaire after Divorcing my Evil In-Laws》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°The left fallopian tube is blocked, and there¡¯s partial blockage on the right side as well. It¡¯s difficult for you to get pregnant naturally. Miss, I recommend a test tube baby treatment.¡± Bang! The door was pushed open forcefully as soon as the doctor finished speaking. Su Nianen¡¯s mother-in-law rushed in and started yelling. ¡°Test tube treatment? What test tube treatment? Ah, Su Nianen, I knew it was your fault. You¡¯ve been married to our Wenfeng for two years, but you didn¡¯t produce any babies, not a single one! You¡¯re just a chicken that can¡¯t lay eggs! Did you already know that you were sick? You knew that you were sick, but you still came to harm our Wenfeng, you¡¯re really vicious!¡± Su Nianen was still suffering from the heavy news when her mother-in-law pointed and yelled at her. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, tears welled up in her eyes. The doctor said, ¡°Giving birth isn¡¯t just about the woman, the husband should do a checkup too. If there¡¯s a problem, we should treat it early¡­¡± Her mother-in-law shouted at the doctor, ¡°My son is very healthy, what could possibly be wrong with him?¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± Just as Su Nianen spoke, her mother-in-law turned around and grabbed her hair, pulling it forcefully. ¡°You heartless and dishonest woman. I knew that there was something wrong back then when your family¡¯s dowry was that extravagant, with a car and a house! So this was what you¡¯ve been planning! You want our Wenfeng to take in a piece of trash like you. Your family is full of schemers!¡± Su Nianen felt a dull pain in her head. She used both hands to pull away her mother-in-law¡¯s gripping hands. ¡°It¡¯s not like that, Mom. Wenfeng and I are truly in love¡­¡± ¡°Bah!¡± She pulled Su Nianen¡¯s hair and lifted her up from the chair. Su Nianen was in so much pain that she saw stars. If she hadn¡¯t stood up quickly, a large part of her scalp would have been torn off by her mother-in-law. ¡°Mom, can you let go first? Mom¡­¡± Su Nianen was in so much pain that tears rolled down her face. Her mother-in-law¡¯s anger was burning, and she did not let go. She pulled Su Nianen and stood in the corridor of the consultation room as she shouted, ¡°Look, this vicious woman is the daughter of a university professor! Their family is supposed to be some prestigious family, what bullsh*t! She¡¯s a piece of trash that can¡¯t have children! Back then, her family offered a house, a car, and begged us to let her into our family! True love? Bullsh*t! It¡¯s all bullsh*t! This woman can¡¯t give birth! She entered our family to cut off our family line! Everyone, don¡¯t you think she¡¯s just too vicious?¡± The crowd chattered, and Su Nianen finally freed her hair from her mother-in-law¡¯s hands. She buried her head in her long hair and sobbed. She had never felt as helpless as she did now The mother-in-law¡¯s scolding continued. ¡°Have you ever seen such a vicious family? A car, a house, and cash dowry. Sending over a useless piece of trash who can¡¯t give birth, this is simply a scam! A marriage scam! Tell me, what is a daughter-in-law who can¡¯t give birth supposed to be? Are we supposed to use her as decoration?¡± Su Nianen turned to face the wall, suppressing the countless grievances in her heart. However, her mother-in-law did not let her off. She pulled her to the front of the crowd, tugged at her hair, pushed her, hit her, and continued to yell at her. The doctor and nurse couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. They pulled Su Nianen away and turned to her mother-in-law. ¡°Old lady, you¡¯ve already hit and scolded her. It¡¯s time to calm down, right? Go home and settle your family matters. Don¡¯t disturb the other patients at the hospital.¡± ¡°Calm down? I wouldn¡¯t even be able to calm down even if I cut that rotten person into pieces! You¡¯re doctors who save people and treat illnesses. Tell me, how can there be such a vicious person with such a bad conscience in this world? Why did she marry into our family if she¡¯s infertile? She can¡¯t give birth!¡± Su Nianen could not stay any longer. She pushed through the crowd and ran out. Su Nianen rushed down from the fifth floor in one breath. The doctor and mother-in-law¡¯s voices repeatedly bombarded her mind. It seemed like the hall on the first floor was under martial law, as if they were looking for some important figure. Su Nianen ran out of the hospital and found a corner to cover her face and cry. When she looked up, there was a little boy standing in front of her, staring at her without blinking. Su Nianen was filled with envy. She really wanted to have a child of her own too. ¡°Hey there, cutie pie. Why are you by yourself?¡± The little kid did not move and continued to stare at her. Su Nianen sized up the little guy. Because of her profession, she quickly noticed the child¡¯s abnormality. ¡°Let¡¯s sit together.¡± Su Nianen pulled the little kid to sit side by side. She guessed that his family must be looking around for him at this moment, and decided to wait for his parents to find him before leaving. ¡°Young Master, Young Master over here¡­¡± The voices grew closer and closer. Soon, four men and women arrived. Su Nianen stood up and took two steps to the side to distance herself. However, as the few of them approached the little guy, the little guy suddenly went berserk. Like a trapped beast, he tore at the circle formed by the few of them, going berserk and colliding with them. Unable to escape, he began to hit his own head and let out sharp cries. Su Nianen¡¯s heart ached when she saw this. She couldn¡¯t help but stop them loudly. ¡°You guys scared him!¡± She rushed forward and pushed them away, protecting the little guy behind her. ¡°Xuanxuan!¡± A tall man strode over. Su Nianen looked up. The man had a serious expression and a strong aura. He sized her up with the eyes of a vigilant beast, making her frown involuntarily. As the man strode closer, Su Nianen had no choice but to step aside and let him carry the little boy away. ¡°Cutie pie.¡± After the boy was picked up, he called out to Su Nianen. Everyone stood there, shocked at what they heard. Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen returned to the hospital lobby to see that the lockdown and search had been lifted. She walked through the lobby and out of the hospital. Her husband, Lin Wenfeng, was already waiting by the roadside. Su Nianen sat silently in the backseat. ¡°Where¡¯s my mom?¡± Lin Wenfeng asked. Tears glistened in Su Nianen¡¯s eyes. When she saw her husband, the grievance in her heart quickly magnified. After calming down, she said, ¡°The results are not ideal. It¡¯s difficult to get pregnant, and mom just lost her temper at the hospital.¡± ¡°I asked you where she was. Why did you leave her behind and come out first?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Lin Wenfeng was a little impatient and dialed his mother¡¯s number. Su Nianen bit her lip, her emotions surging in her heart. Her mother-in-law took the wrong path when she came out. Fortunately, her son called again. She cursed all the way and finally got into the car, closing the car door forcefully before she turned to glare at Su Nianen. ¡°What are you planning? You left first and abandoned me in the hospital. I accompanied you for a checkup! Su Nianen, why are you so vicious?¡± The mother-in-law did not give Su Nianen a chance to explain. She turned around and said to Lin Wenfeng loudly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear me over the phone? There are problems on both fallopian tubes. On both sides! What a rotten thing she has! If she can¡¯t give birth, just find a surrogate!¡± Su Nianen was shocked. ¡°Mom¡­¡± Her mother-in-law interrupted her angrily, ¡°Otherwise, get a divorce and get out of our Lin family!¡± Tears quickly welled up in Su Nianen¡¯s eyes. She looked at her husband, but he didn¡¯t say anything. Her tears fell. ¡°It can be cured¡­¡± ¡°Cured? How many years will that take? I¡¯ve never heard of anyone being cured from that in my life!¡± Su Nianen¡¯s voice choked. ¡°Wenfeng and I are still very young. The doctor suggested a test tube baby¡­¡± Her voice immediately rose an octave. ¡°Test tube baby? Our Wenfeng can¡¯t afford to lose face like that!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Su Nianen wanted to say something but stopped. She silently swallowed her tears. When she got home, her mother-in-law pushed her son into the bedroom. Su Nianen packed up the clothes her husband had taken off and prepared to put them in the bedroom, but she could not open the door. The mother-in-law in the house was still angry and insisted on finding a surrogate. ¡°Wen Feng, you¡¯re a respectable person now. Can you afford to lose face if you use the test tube baby route?¡± ¡°Surrogacy is illegal,¡± Lin Wenfeng finally said. Her mother-in-law immediately said, ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s legal if she can¡¯t give birth now? Women should have children and carry on the family line. If she can¡¯t give birth, should our family call the police and arrest her?¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± ¡°Or you can marry someone else who¡¯s capable of giving birth!¡± Lin Wenfeng finally expressed his stance. ¡°We can¡¯t get a divorce. All the connections in the company are given to me by Nianen¡¯s father. At the very least, we can¡¯t get a divorce now.¡± ¡°I want to have a grandson! Don¡¯t tell me you want to cut off the Lin family¡¯s lineage?¡± The mother-in-law was furious. Lin Wenfeng impatiently chased his mother out. ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡± Outside the door, Su Nianen felt terrible. When her mother-in-law came out and saw her, her face instantly darkened. She snorted and pushed her away. Su Nianen walked into the bedroom and suppressed all her sadness. ¡°You still remember how my father helped you a lot in the company. I thought you¡¯d forgotten.¡± Clang! The cup hit the ground and tiles flew everywhere. Lin Wenfeng grabbed Su Nianen¡¯s collar and asked angrily, ¡°What is that supposed to mean? You¡¯re the one who can¡¯t give birth, don¡¯t give me this crap!¡± Whoosh! In an instant, her tears burst. All the grievances and sadness piled up in her heart surged like a river. She tried her best to suppress the churning disappointment and sadness. ¡°Then, let¡¯s get a divorce!¡± Lin Wenfeng let go and let out a long breath. His attitude softened a little. ¡°Don¡¯t look for trouble. Why would we get a divorce? We¡¯ve been together for so many years. Can you bear to part with me? So we can¡¯t have children, so what? we¡¯ll just not have any!¡± Su Nianen sneered. ¡°Mom said she¡¯s looking for a surrogate.¡± ¡°She¡¯s just saying that. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Lin Wenfeng wanted to hug Su Nianen, but she avoided him. ¡°I want to be alone.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Lin Wenfeng didn¡¯t continue to comfort her and turned to leave. The door closed, and Su Nianen¡¯s world fell silent. After two years, she¡¯d finally seen their true colors. She thought that her love with her husband was impregnable, but in reality, their fairy tale had long been shattered. ¡­ Two days later, Lin Wenfeng entered the Champs-¨¦lys¨¦es Hotel and buzzed the door, as if he¡¯d done this many times before. The door opened quickly. Li Feifei was wrapped in a towel, her hair half dry as she stood in front of Lin Wenfeng, dripping wet. Li Feifei was from a poor family. All these years, Lin Wenfeng and Su Nianen had funded her schooling. After graduating from university, Li Feifei came to Qingdu to seek refuge with Lin Wenfeng, and was now Lin Wenfeng¡¯s secretary. Li Feifei pounced on Lin Wenfeng and pouted. ¡°Why are you so late?¡± Lin Wenfeng quickly loosened his tie and carried Li Feifei to the bed. ¡°I have to leave early today,¡± Lin Wenfeng said in a daze. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°It¡¯s our second anniversary. She¡¯s waiting.¡± Li Feifei snorted. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to leave.¡± She reached into Lin Wenfeng¡¯s pocket, quickly took out his cell phone, and threw it into a cup. ¡°Feifei!¡± Li Feifei pulled off the towel and pressed against Lin Wenfeng. ¡°Today, you can only be mine.¡± ¡°Little vixen¡­¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It was already two in the afternoon, but Su Nianen still hadn¡¯t called her husband. Initially, there weren¡¯t any expectations, but her husband had taken the initiative to ask for lunch together. She had gotten her hopes up for nothing. Su Nianen laughed self-deprecatingly before turning off her phone. She had specially applied for half a day¡¯s leave today, but now, she actually had nowhere to go. She stood on the streets in a daze, not knowing what she should be doing. Beep beep¡ª Beep beep¡ª The car parked by her feet honked a few times before Su Nianen stopped daydreaming. She subconsciously took two steps back and looked at the car. The broad man who got out of the car looked familiar. When Su Nianen saw him approaching her, she took two steps back. ¡°Miss Su.¡± Su Nianen looked up blankly, wondering if she knew him. She didn¡¯t. When Su Nianen retreated again, the other party said, ¡°I¡¯m Gu Xichuan. I was once Professor Su¡¯s student. We met when I visited Professor Su five years ago.¡± Su Nianen opened her mouth. Five years ago¡­ She no longer remembered that. Her father had a large number of students, and countless of them had visited personally. She had seen so many of them, too, and it was impossible for her to remember one of them from five years ago. ¡°Hello,¡± Su Nianen replied politely. Gu Xichuan asked, ¡°Are you married?¡± Su Nianen immediately frowned, unwilling to chat further. She forced a smile in response. ¡°Miss Su¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Gu. I still have something to attend to. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Just as Gu Xichuan spoke, Su Nianen quickly interrupted him. Then, she strode across the road, leaving only the view of her slender back to Gu Xichuan. Su Nianen had turned off her phone for the entire day, yet she couldn¡¯t help but turn it back on in the middle of the night. However, there was no message from her husband. Her hopes were dashed, and her emotions surged again. He had long stopped loving her a long time ago, it seemed, but only now did she see it clearly. It was 1:30 a.m. when Su Nianen arrived home. The house was pitch-black. Snores came from her husband and mother-in-law¡¯s room. It was as if she had barged into this harmonious and peaceful house like an outsider. When she entered the bedroom and saw her husband sleeping soundly on the bed, her heart ached. He couldn¡¯t get through to her on the phone. Did he not want an explanation for that? Was he really that unworried that his wife hadn¡¯t returned yet, so late at night? Su Nianen couldn¡¯t fall asleep the entire night, and her eyes were red. Lin Wenfeng opened his eyes in the morning. Su Nianen was sitting beside him. ¡°Honey, I had a meeting all day yesterday. I was too tired.¡± He still had to give a decent reason for not going yesterday. Su Nianen said calmly, ¡°Let¡¯s get a divorce! We can part on good terms. I don¡¯t want a single cent from the Lin family. I won¡¯t take a single cent from you, and I¡¯ll leave with nothing.¡± Lin Wenfeng jolted and sat up. ¡°What is it, honey? I apologize for yesterday. I¡¯ve been too busy with work.¡± Su Nianen shook her head and chuckled. ¡°Mom caused a scene in the hospital. People took videos and it was posted online.¡± ¡°So what? The poster doesn¡¯t know you. What are you afraid of?¡± Lin Wenfeng retorted. Su Nianen laughed in anger and swallowed her rage. Looking at her cold husband, Su Nianen no longer had any hope. The mother-in-law pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Feifei is almost done making dumplings. Su Nianen, you¡¯re still not coming out?¡± Su Nianen frowned. Her mother-in-law always entered their bedroom without knocking. ¡°Hurry up!¡± She was furious. Su Nianen took a deep breath. ¡°Okay.¡± When Su Nianen came out, Li Feifei saw her and quickly greeted her. ¡°Sister Nianen, quickly sit down. The dumplings are already in the pot. They¡¯ll be ready soon.¡± In a daze, Su Nianen realized that she was the guest. She went into the kitchen to help, but her mother-in-law shooed her out. ¡°You¡¯re clumsy. What can you even do?¡± Half an hour later, hot dumplings were served. Su Nianen prepared the bowls and chopsticks and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ll go get Wen Feng to eat¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± Li Feifei quickly pressed Su Nianen down. ¡°Sister Nianen, sit down and eat first. I¡¯ll go get President Lin.¡± Before Su Nianen could reply, her mother-in-law threw a face at her and cursed softly, ¡°You still have the audacity to eat when you can¡¯t give birth!¡± Lin Wenfeng and Li Feifei sat at the table. Li Feifei was extremely attentive to her mother-in-law, making her smile. The mother-in-law said, ¡°Whoever marries our Feifei will be really lucky.¡± ¡°I think so too. My mother said that my physique is good and that I can give birth to a strong son.¡± Li Feifei immediately smiled and replied. The mother-in-law¡¯s eyes lit up instantly. She was extremely envious. ¡°Ah, that¡¯s right. Feifei has the body to give birth to a son.¡± She felt that it was a great pity that her daughter-in-law couldn¡¯t do the same. Li Feifei changed the topic to Su Nianen. ¡°Sister Nianen, when are you planning to have a child? Take advantage of your youth to give birth early and recover. Sister Nianen is so good-looking. Your baby with President Lin will look super cute.¡± Her mother-in-law glanced at Su Nianen from the corner of her eye. ¡°Her body is weak. She needs to take some medicine to recuperate. Besides, it¡¯s not that easy to give birth. There are many girls who don¡¯t have the ability to give birth despite their youth.¡± Li Feifei quickly added, ¡°Auntie, women giving birth is like humans eating rice. They¡¯re born with the ability. Those who can¡¯t give birth are all indecent in their private lives and mess around too much. Their bodies are damaged.¡± Lin Wenfeng frowned. ¡°Feifei!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Li Feifei looked at Lin Wenfeng innocently. ¡°President Lin, what I said is the truth. A woman who can¡¯t give birth must have had a messy private life in the past. With any man¡­¡± ¡°Li Feifei,¡± Lin Wenfeng interrupted again. He looked at Li Feifei warningly. Li Feifei looked away, her eyes filled with pride. She smiled at her mother-in-law. ¡°Auntie, is the food enough? Shall I go and cook some more?¡± How could the mother-in-law still be in the mood to eat dumplings? ¡°It¡¯s enough. Hurry up and go to work after eating.¡± The mother-in-law sent her son and Li Feifei away. Li Feifei lived in a small apartment that Su Nianen bought before her marriage. She was in the neighborhood, and went to work with Lin Wenfeng every day, often visiting as well. Su Nianen left the table first. Li Feifei¡¯s words were like knives that cut into her flesh. She had not slept the entire night and was feeling a little dizzy. She fell asleep the moment she returned to her room. After her husband and Li Feifei left, her mother-in-law quickly pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Sleep, sleep, sleep. Did I tell you to sleep?!¡± Whoosh¡ª A basin of cold water was poured over Su Nianen! Su Nianen screamed and got up. The dishwater dripped down her hair onto the bed, and she was completely drenched. ¡°Mom¡­¡± Su Nianen¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. Tears flashed in her eyes as she suppressed her anger. She wasn¡¯t done yet. She threw the basin at Su Nianen¡¯s head and cursed. ¡°You jinxed sl*t! You¡¯re so young. How did you get your fallopian tubes stuck? How many dirty things have you done behind Wenfeng¡¯s back? Haven¡¯t you done too much? Why can¡¯t you give birth? Ah, tell me yourself! You saw that my son was honest and dutiful, so you came to harm him, right? You rotten child, you still have the audacity to stay in this family and stay by Wenfeng¡¯s side?¡± Su Nianen¡¯s entire body trembled as tears flowed down her face. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t slander me. I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°You still won¡¯t admit it! You¡¯re so stubborn!¡± Her mother-in-law pounced on Su Nianen and grabbed her hair, hitting and pinching her. Her nails were aimed at her face. Su Nianen covered her face with her hands, but there were still a few bloody wounds inflicted on her face. A chunk of her hair was also torn off. Her mother-in-law was quite strong, and Su Nianen couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She pushed her mother-in-law away and ran out of the house. Su Nianen¡¯s push made her mother-in-law hit the closet behind her. She immediately fell to the ground, crying and howling at the sky. ¡°Murder! My evil daughter-in-law is killing me! Help, my son, help me¡­ She¡¯s killing me¡­¡± Su Nianen¡¯s entire body ached from the attacks, but hearing her mother-in-law¡¯s heart-wrenching cries, she had no choice and went back to take a look. She wasn¡¯t sure if she really had pushed her mother-in-law down. ¡°Mom, Mom¡­ get up first¡­¡± Su Nianen had just reached her hand out when her mother-in-law grabbed her hair again. Her entire head was pushed towards the closet door and was slammed heavily against it a few times. Su Nianen was in so much pain that she saw stars. She decidedly pulled her mother-in-law¡¯s hand away and ran again. The mother-in-law immediately called her son. After wailing for a while, she quickly called 120 for an ambulance. Then, she began to ¡°dress¡± herself. She cut the parts of her clothes that she couldn¡¯t tear open with scissors. She ruffled her hair, and kicked a slipper far away. Thinking that it was about time, she lay down again. Clang¡ª The door outside was pushed open forcefully. Lin Wenfeng and Li Feifei rushed into the living room. Su Nianen panicked. When she saw her furious husband, she was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. ¡°Honey, Mom¡­¡± Lin Wenfeng roared, ¡°You¡¯re bullying an unarmed old woman like this?! Su Nianen, you¡¯ve gotten your conscience eaten by a dog!¡± Su Nianen shook her head repeatedly. ¡°I didn¡¯t, I didn¡¯t bully Mom! Honey, believe me!¡± Su Nianen followed Lin Wenfeng into the bedroom. His mother-in-law seemed to be in a semi-conscious state. Lin Wenfeng carried his mother-in-law and walked out. Su Nianen stopped her husband. ¡°Mom is fine. Believe me, she was acting. I didn¡¯t bully her, nor did I hurt her¡­¡± Lin Wenfeng looked at Su Nianen as if he wanted to eat her up. ¡°Shut up! If anything happens to my mother, I won¡¯t let you off!¡± The medical staff and the ambulance had already arrived. Lin Wenfeng pushed Su Nianen away and hurried away with his mother. ¡°Wenfeng¡­¡± Why did her husband not believe her? Su Nianen hugged herself and cried loudly, venting all the pent-up emotions and grievances she had felt for a long time. How many times had her mother-in-law hit her now? It had become a habit at this point. Su Nianen wondered how she had let herself fall to such disgrace. She hadn¡¯t heard from her mother-in-law all day, and her husband wasn¡¯t answering his phone. Worried about her mother-in-law, she took a taxi to the hospital. However, she did not know where her mother-in-law was staying. The nurse refused to answer her, and so she stood by herself at the reception desk and prepared to look for her mother-in-law room by room. ¡°Miss Su.¡± Su Nianen turned around. It was Gu Xichuan. When Gu Xichuan saw Su Nianen¡¯s bruised face, he immediately frowned. She was even more¡­ miserable than the last time he saw her in the hospital. ¡°I can help you find this person, it¡¯s something I can do,¡± Gu Xichuan said. Su Nianen quickly thanked him. Gu Xichuan made a call and a nurse quickly led them upstairs to her mother-in-law¡¯s VIP room. However, in the locked ward, on the other side of the door, the moans and growls of lust could be heard. Outside the door, the people who could hear the sounds were petrified! Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Wrong place.¡± After saying that, Su Nianen suddenly turned around, her back facing the ward. Gu Xichuan looked down and saw tears in her eyes, but he couldn¡¯t comfort her. ¡°Wrong place,¡± Su Nianen said softly again and walked away with her head lowered. However, she stopped after taking two steps. She looked around in a panic and then looked at Gu Xichuan, who had yet to leave. She asked, ¡°Why are you in the hospital?¡± ¡°The kid¡¯s sick. Came for a checkup.¡± Su Nianen clearly wasn¡¯t listening when Gu Xichuan spoke. She was in a daze as tears rolled down her face. Gu Xichuan didn¡¯t say anything else and silently handed her a tissue. Su Nianen took the tissue and wiped her tears. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Gu. You should go ahead first.¡± No one would want others seeing their most vulnerable moments. Gu Xichuan nodded and left. Su Nianen walked back and stood by the door of the ward. The happier the man inside the room was, the more pain she felt. She reminded herself again and again that it was time to face reality. It was time to wake up! ¡°Why are you here!¡± Five minutes later, her mother-in-law finally appeared. Su Nianen¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. She looked at her mother-in-law as if she wanted to eat her alive, her fists clenched tightly as anger spewed out from her nose. The mother-in-law was frightened, very aware of Su Nianen¡¯s aura. She avoided eye contact, but still managed to be overbearing. ¡°What are you doing here? Are you here to see if I¡¯m dead? Let me tell you, Su Nianen, don¡¯t even think about trying to win me back. I remember everything you did today. I¡¯ll have to ask your father how a professor like him managed to raise a daughter like you, a daughter who would attack an elder!¡± Su Nianen looked straight at her mother-in-law with her red eyes. She said, ¡°Mom, you keep claiming that I hit you. Do you really want me to carry out that crime?¡± The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment before she immediately started shouting, ¡°She¡¯s going to hit me! The evil daughter-in-law is going to hit me! Everyone, come and take a look! The evil daughter-in-law is going to hit me!¡± Su Nianen stood her ground, not backing down or being too overbearing as her eyes burned with anger. The door suddenly opened. Lin Wenfeng walked out and shouted, ¡°Mom, what are you shouting for?¡± ¡°Your wife! She wants to hit me. Look at how she¡¯s standing there, like she wants to eat me up! Look!¡± The mother-in-law immediately grabbed her son¡¯s arm and stood close to him. Lin Wenfeng questioned Su Nien, ¡°Haven¡¯t you had enough at home? Why did you come to the hospital?¡± ¡°What about you? Haven¡¯t you had enough of cheating in the hotel? Did you come to the hospital for even more excitement?¡± Su Nianen asked with a trembling voice. The moment she looked at Lin Wenfeng, two streams of tears rolled down her face. ¡°Shut up!¡± Lin Wenfeng raised his palm and met Su Nianen¡¯s reddened eyes. He hesitated for a few seconds before putting it down. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m blind? Deaf? How is it different from a live broadcast when you guys are doing that so loudly inside? Lin Wenfeng, how long are you planning on lying to me?¡± Su Nianen was so angry that she rushed up and grabbed Lin Wenfeng¡¯s clothes, beating on him. At this moment, all manners, self-respect, and love were burned to ashes by the anger in her heart. When the mother-in-law saw Su Nianen ruthlessly attacking her son, she immediately went forward to help, grabbing Su Nianen¡¯s hair and pulling her back. ¡°Stop it, you jinx. If you hit Wen Feng again, I¡¯ll rip your skin off.¡± There were more and more onlookers, and the mother-in-law was filled with regret. She shouldn¡¯t have shouted those words just now. She couldn¡¯t manage to pull Su Nianen off her son instantly, and could only turn to chase the onlookers away. But who would listen to her? She immediately fell to the ground and fainted! Lin Wenfeng pulled Su Nianen¡¯s hand and flung it away. ¡°Su Nien, you¡¯re like a mad dog now. A mad dog!¡± He pushed Su Nianen away and rushed out of the crowd with his mother in his arms. Tears streamed down Su Nianen¡¯s face. She had been in love for three years and married for two. She had been servile and committed, careful not to cause trouble, all for a man like this? For a man like this! She hated her for his injustice and his infidelity. Su Nianen squatted down and cried bitterly. At this moment, her heart was broken. Everything she had with this man ended in this bitter cry. Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The crowd gradually dispersed. Li Feifei, who had been hiding in the ward, finally poked her head out. However, as soon as she stuck her head out, Su Nianen grabbed her hair. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Su Nianen snorted angrily. ¡°Go ahead and shout. The mother and son are afraid of embarrassing themselves. I think they should be getting home soon. No matter how loud you shout, it will only let more people know that you¡¯re a third party who destroyed someone else¡¯s family!¡± Li Feifei could only grit her teeth and hold back from shouting. She held Su Nianen¡¯s hand and begged, ¡°Sister Nianen, I know that this is wrong, but¡­ but Auntie begged me. She wanted me to give birth to a child for President Lin. I only found out today that you can¡¯t give birth. You can¡¯t blame me¡­¡± Su Nianen let go of her hand. ¡°I don¡¯t blame you. I don¡¯t have the ability to take care of my own man. It¡¯s my fault. Since you cherish him so much, I¡¯ll give him to you.¡± ¡°Sister Nianen, Sister Nianen¡­¡± Li Feifei was flung away by Su Nianen. Su Nianen quickly walked out of the hospital. In the autumn wind, she felt someone grab her arm. ¡°Miss Su, please wait.¡± Su Nianen turned around and Gu Xichuan quickly let go of her arm. He said, ¡°Miss Su, I have something to ask of you¡­¡± ¡°No time!¡± ¡°Are you busy with the divorce?¡± Su Nianen looked at him coldly. ¡°Busy going to hell!¡± She brushed past him, leaving a cold back view for Gu Xichuan. All the expressions on Gu Xichuan¡¯s face quickly disappeared. The aura he exuded was colder than the cold wind. He turned around as his secretary pulled Xuanxuan towards him. ¡°Mr. Gu, the police station has already filed a case. The therapist confessed to abusing the young master. He has also terminated his contract with the rehabilitation school. Do you think we should wait for your friend to come or should we find a suitable person at another institution?¡± Gu Xichuan looked at his pitifully quiet son with a worried expression. Xuanxuan was different from normal children. His mental development was slow and he could not speak. The dozen or so people who took care of Xuanxuan had abused his son while taking a high salary from him. Previously, he believed the servants¡¯ nonsense and really thought that his son was born weak and had low immunity, which was why he fell sick every few days. But¡­ If Xuanxuan had not been scalded by boiling water this time, he wouldn¡¯t have checked the surveillance cameras. He¡¯d still be in the dark. ¡°Find someone to take care of Xuanxuan first,¡± Gu Xichuan said. Xuanxuan seemed to like Su Nianen very much. For the first time, he said two words. ¡®Cutie pie¡¯. Gu Xichuan thought that for the sake of his son, he would invite Su Nianen over no matter what the price was. He put down all the company¡¯s matters and threw away his pride to handle this matter personally. * * * Su Nianen had already moved out of the Lin family and deleted all her husband and mother-in-law¡¯s contact information. However, Lin Wenfeng did not want a divorce. He pestered Su Nianen to change her mind while thinking of ways to deal with her. ¡°Why doesn¡¯t she just drop dead?¡± Li Feifei gritted her teeth. If she were dead, everything would be hers. Li Feifei suddenly thought of something and excitedly shook Lin Wenfeng awake. ¡°Wenfeng, did the Su family buy her personal insurance from the dowry cash back then?¡± ¡°They did.¡± Lin Wenfeng responded and turned away to sleep, but Li Feifei pulled him up again. Lin Wenfeng was displeased. ¡°It¡¯s the middle of the night, why are you not sleeping? What¡¯re you doing?¡± ¡°Wenfeng, the reason why you can¡¯t get a divorce is because of Su Nianen¡¯s money and Su Nianen¡¯s father. If there¡¯s a way to keep all of this, and we can still get to be together officially, are you willing to take the risk?¡± Li Feifei¡¯s eyes were bright as she looked at Lin Wenfeng excitedly. Lin Wenfeng slowly sobered up. ¡°What way?¡± Li Feifei said, ¡°If she dies¡­¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lin Wenfeng frowned. ¡°She¡¯s just infertile, not terminally ill.¡± Li Feifei quickly said, ¡°Let me finish. If she dies, you¡¯ll be the beneficiary. How much money will the insurance compensation be? There won¡¯t be any problem with the company¡¯s operations. If she dies, you¡¯ll still be their son-in-law. Everything in their family will still be yours, and they won¡¯t interfere with your remarriage. Wenfeng, think about it. Do I make sense?¡± ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± Lin Wenfeng was bewildered. Li Feifei did not answer directly. She only said, ¡°I saw the news yesterday. Many people die in car accidents. Wenfeng, isn¡¯t there a saying how no one can know if they might get into an accident tomorrow? Who can be sure about her tomorrows or her accidents?¡± Lin Wenfeng remained silent. He had his own considerations. What he couldn¡¯t give up was the benefits that Su Nianen had given him. His feelings for Su Nianen had long been worn away, and she couldn¡¯t give birth now. If she really died, all the troubles in their family would be easily resolved. If she died¡­ Lin Wenfeng was trapped by this cursed notion for the entire night. The next morning, he went to look for Su Nianen. Before everything was arranged, he needed to change Su Nianen¡¯s mind and let the Su family and more people witness that they were a loving couple. Su Nianen tidied up and prepared to go to work. When she opened the door, she found Lin Wenfeng lying on the ground at the door. He seemed to be seriously ill. Su Nianen paused for two seconds before stepping over the man and leaving. She went straight to the front desk to settle the bill and changed hotels right away. Lin Wenfeng waited for an entire day, but he did not see Su Nianen. Since he couldn¡¯t contact her, he could only go home. Su Nianen originally thought that her world could be quiet now, but she did not expect Mother Lin and Li Feifei to come to the company. They barged into the classroom when she didn¡¯t agree to meet them. ¡°Nianen, don¡¯t argue with an old woman like me. Come home. I¡¯ll apologize to you. Listen to me and come home. You¡¯re a woman who lives outside all day, that¡¯s no good at all!¡± Everyone in the class turned around and looked in their direction. Discussions sounded softly. Su Nianen¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Please leave my class.¡± Li Feifei hurriedly stepped forward to help. ¡°Sister Nianen, Auntie has already thought it through. It¡¯s fine if you can¡¯t give birth. Take your time to treat your illness. It will be cured one day. We¡¯ll all be there with you. Don¡¯t give yourself too much pressure. Come home. Brother Wenfeng misses you so much that he fell ill¡­¡± Su Nianen gritted her teeth and held it in. Today was a public lecture, and all the old and new therapists in the institution were participating. At this moment, if she could not hold back her anger, it¡¯d be her mother-in-law and the mistress who won. However, the crowd¡¯s discussion had grown from small to loud. Almost everyone looked at her with sympathy. She couldn¡¯t give birth and even let her mother-in-law come to the workplace to beg her to come back. Everyone was talking about how this Teacher Su looked gentle, but was actually a ruthless woman. Su Nianen hadn¡¯t found the right words to retaliate with when the leader stood up and said, ¡°Teacher Su, settle your matters first. Teacher Li will substitute you for the second half.¡± Su Nianen opened her mouth, only to find her voice stuck in her throat. She nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Su Nianen quickly left everyone¡¯s sight. Mother Lin was still shouting at the door. ¡°Nianen, come home with Mom. Mom will apologize to you. If you can¡¯t give birth, so be it. Our Lin family will listen to you from now on, okay?¡± The leader¡¯s face darkened as he warned, ¡°Madam, don¡¯t make a racket in the classroom!¡± What was the difference between what she was doing and making an announcement to the world? How could Teacher Su live with this in the future? The leader wondered if this old woman was pretending to be daft or if she really was stupid. The mother-in-law and Li Feifei quickly left the classroom. The mother-in-law said in a low voice, ¡°This is what she gets for causing trouble to my son. I want her to be too ashamed to face anyone.¡± Her mother-in-law and Li Feifei were sent to the front desk. When her mother-in-law saw that she was about to be chased out, she immediately grabbed the desk. ¡°I¡¯m not leaving. I want to see my daughter-in-law. She hasn¡¯t been home for days. My son and I are both worried! I specially came to apologize to her. I don¡¯t care about my dignity, I only wish my daughter-in-law would come home.¡± Li Feifei immediately said, ¡°Please call Sister Nianen out. She hasn¡¯t been eating or sleeping well these few days. No family deserves to be fighting among themselves! It¡¯s best to resolve conflicts, I hope you can understand how difficult it is for the old lady¡­¡± The teacher said awkwardly, ¡°Teacher Su has already left. You should look for her elsewhere.¡± Mother Lin immediately refused. ¡°How is that possible? We just saw her and she left so quickly? Did she grow wings and fly away? If you don¡¯t get her, I¡¯ll go find her. I will talk to her today no matter what¡­¡± The mother-in-law wanted to barge in, but the two teachers couldn¡¯t let her go in and cause trouble. They forcefully stopped her. The mother-in-law immediately raised her voice and started yelling and cursing, until the parents who passed by surrounded her. Su Nianen quickly walked out and stood in front of her mother-in-law. ¡°What else do you want to say? You can start your performance in front of everyone.¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Mother Lin was furious! She would have pounced on this b*tch and slapped her if they were at home. However, she could not vent her anger now and had to smile apologetically. ¡°Dear En, ever since you married into the Lin family, I¡¯ve always treated you as my own daughter. Now that you can¡¯t give birth, I don¡¯t blame you. If you¡¯re sick, we¡¯ll treat you slowly. There¡¯s no need to run away from home. You¡¯re so young, but why do you have so much anger? If I said something unpleasant to you, I will compensate you, okay?¡± Su Nianen was so angry that she laughed. ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve repeatedly announced my private and unbearable stuff in public. Are you sure you treat me as your own daughter? Do you think everyone here has the same IQ as you?¡± Her mother-in-law¡¯s face turned red and white. ¡°Nianen, aren¡¯t you just infertile, it¡¯s not like you¡¯re divorced. Look, you¡¯re still not coming home¡­¡± Su Nianen interrupted her mother-in-law. ¡°The divorce agreement has already been sent to your son three times. If possible, I can¡¯t wait to draw a clear line with your family now!¡± Her mother-in-law was so angry that she glared. At this moment, she wished she could scratch her face! Li Feifei chimed in, ¡°Sister Nianen, no matter what, Auntie is an elder¡­¡± Su Nianen turned to Li Feifei. ¡°Do you want me to give you an eye for an eye? Just like how you announced my sickness, do you want me to announce how you¡¯re a mistress who snuck in and destroyed my family?¡± Li Feifei choked on her words. She didn¡¯t remember this woman being so eloquent in the past? ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving yet?¡± Su Nianen asked loudly. Her mother-in-law snorted angrily and pulled Li Feifei away, leaving the scene. The teacher at the front desk dispersed the crowd. Su Nianen lowered her head and tears rolled down her face. ¡°Cutie pie.¡± Su Nianen opened her eyes. The little kid from before rubbed against her leg gently. Stunned, she hurriedly wiped her tears and leaned over to gently stroke the little kid¡¯s head. The boy stared blankly at Su Nianen, his face expressionless. Su Nianen was slightly stunned. Then, she gently stroked the little guy¡¯s cute face. ¡°Teacher Su.¡± Su Nianen looked up and saw Gu Xichuan walking towards her. Su Nianen¡¯s expression did not look too good as she forced a smile. What a coincidence! She turned sideways, and Gu Xichuan pulled the boy closer to him and introduced his child. ¡°This is my son, Gu Tingxuan.¡± Su Nianen paused and looked at the little guy again. Although the little guy was thin and small, he had delicate features and was very beautiful. Gu Xichuan¡¯s son? ¡°We met at the hospital.¡± Gu Xichuan thought that she had already forgotten, since the few times they¡¯ve met, her condition was¡­ not in the best shape. ¡°Is he a student here?¡± Su Nianen asked. If he was a student here, then this child¡­ Gu Xichuan answered truthfully. He nodded and admitted, ¡°Yes, Xuanxuan still can¡¯t speak and his development is slow. Teacher Su, I heard that there are many children like Xuanxuan who have returned to normal. He still has hope, right?¡± Su Nianen did not answer directly. She only said, ¡°A child like Xuanxuan needs more care and love than a normal child.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Gu Xichuan agreed. ¡°That¡¯s why I brought him here.¡± ¡°You can let him take classes at a professional school. Coming here will cost you more than the school.¡± Su Nianen kindly advised him that the institution she worked at was an institution that trained teachers. After the teachers graduated, they would go to a professional rehabilitation school to teach. And she was an honorary expert in the teaching of teachers. As for the children who chose to come here for lessons, their family backgrounds were all top-notch. Gu Xichuan said, ¡°I only trust you, Teacher Su.¡± When Su Nianen heard this, she immediately looked into Gu Xichuan¡¯s eyes. Trust? For a moment, she was confused. When did this trust between them start? Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Mr. Gu, have you attended my class?¡± Su Nianen asked. Gu Xichuan said, ¡°Xuanxuan likes you.¡± Su Nianen quickly glanced at the little guy and said, ¡°Xuanxuan has his own likes and dislikes. It seems there¡¯s not too big a problem with him.¡± ¡°Teacher Su¡­¡± ¡°I have to get back to class. Excuse me.¡± Su Nianen turned to the teacher. ¡°Teacher Xiaolin, I¡¯ll leave this gentleman with you.¡± The boy¡¯s gaze followed Su Nianen until she disappeared around the bend in the stairs. Gu Xichuan squatted beside his son. Of course, he noticed the change in his son. His son¡¯s gaze had never been focused before, let alone focused on a person. Once again, this confirmed his thoughts. ¡°Xuanxuan, do you like Teacher Su?¡± The little guy could not see Su Nianen anymore, and the only light in his eyes was extinguished. He was back to his original state. Gu Xichuan¡¯s heart ached and he gently rubbed his son¡¯s head. His son didn¡¯t say anything, but he understood. ¡°Sir, are you bringing your child to our institution for lessons?¡± Gu Xichuan said directly, ¡°How can we make an appointment for Teacher Su Nianen¡¯s class?¡± ¡°Teacher Su is our trump card expert. It¡¯s very difficult to arrange her classes. If you make a reservation now, the nearest class will be in three months¡­¡± ¡°Tomorrow!¡± Gu Xichuan¡¯s firm tone stunned Teacher Xiao Lin. ¡°Well, you see, Teacher Su is¡­¡± Gu Xichuan raised his hand to stop her. He had already made a phone call. ¡°It¡¯s me, Gu Xichuan.¡± Then, he handed the phone to Ms. Xiaolin, who had a question mark on her face. Teacher Xiao Lin took the phone hesitantly. When she heard the voice on the other end, she realized it was the boss of the company! After a short report and communication, Xiaolin returned the phone to Gu Xichuan. ¡°Mr. Gu, I¡¯ll immediately prepare the classes for you. Tomorrow at 10 o¡¯clock, you can bring your child directly to Teacher Su¡¯s class.¡± ¡°Thanks a lot.¡± Gu Xichuan left the rehabilitation facility with the boy. The next day. The moment Su Nianen appeared in the company, there were people pointing and muttering. Although she didn¡¯t understand, she didn¡¯t ask. Up until she was stopped outside the classroom. ¡°I¡¯ve violated my contract, and I¡¯ve been fired?¡± Su Nianen looked shocked. How was that possible? ¡°I even came to class yesterday, but no one informed me. What happened?¡± Su Nianen was stunned for a long time before she asked incoherently. It didn¡¯t seem like a joke when she saw Teacher Li taking her place in class. ¡°This is my class. Do you think it¡¯s yours just because you took over half the class yesterday?¡± Teacher Li said, ¡°Teacher Su, don¡¯t you know your own situation? The entire company knows. Don¡¯t hide it anymore.¡± ¡°My situation?¡± Su Nianen tried her best to suppress her rising emotions. ¡°What situation would that be?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you¡­ not in good health? The company is doing this for your own good. You should go home and rest well. Teacher Su, in your situation, it¡¯s not suitable for you to come out and work.¡± It was no wonder Su Nianen¡¯s mother-in-law barged into the company yesterday. Su Nianen shook her head. She didn¡¯t understand. Could this person be saying that she could not even go to work now because of her infertility? ¡°What kind of logic is that.¡± Su Nianen gritted her teeth and smiled. No matter how unwilling she was, what was the use of arguing here with this Teacher Li who replaced her? She quickly rushed into the leader¡¯s office. This was the first time she was this emotional in the company. ¡°I¡¯ve been fired. Director, was it your decision?¡± The director said, ¡°I approved it.¡± As the director answered, he pushed a few pages of documents to Su Nianen. ¡°Teacher Su, we know about your situation. The higher-ups want you to go home and recuperate first. When you recover, you will have a chance to come back.¡± A raging fire burned in Su Nianen¡¯s heart. She looked at the director with disappointment. However, there was nothing she could do. She picked up the pages from the table, shocked. What greeted her eyes was a diagnosis of her mental illness! ¡°Mental disorder? Psychological disorder?¡± After Su Nianen finished reading, she looked at the director with question marks on her face. ¡°Me?¡± The director said, ¡°The boss has already approved it. I know that you¡¯ve been working outstandingly in our company for the past few years, but Teacher Su, since you had a relapse recently, we¡­¡± Su Nianen couldn¡¯t take it anymore and interrupted, ¡°What illness? Director, I respect you, so I came to look for you. Please explain the situation clearly!¡± ¡°Your illness acted up not long ago and you lost your mind. You injured your mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law¡¯s hospital records and proof are all there. Do you still want to deny it?¡± Su Nianen clenched her fists and denied it loudly. ¡°I didn¡¯t hit her!¡± The director quickly followed her words and said, ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You didn¡¯t. Let¡¯s calm down first. Don¡¯t be agitated and calm down.¡± Looking at the director¡¯s posture, Su Nianen guessed that he was afraid that she would have a ¡°relapse¡± right then and there. She wanted to laugh. Utter disappointment. ¡°Director, I¡¯ve worked for the company for five years, but apparently I¡¯m no match for these nonsense papers.¡± She was mentally ill. What a joke. No wonder everyone looked at her like she was abnormal the moment she entered the building. Instead of being angry, she smiled. The way she looked at the director was colder than the winds in December. ¡°So, I¡¯m crazy.¡± She left without further explanation. The grievances and pain were not important anymore. Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gu Xichuan thought that he had finally settled the important matters, but something happened as soon as Xuanxuan was sent to the rehabilitation center. Gu Xichuan abandoned his work and went straight to the center. Today was the little guy¡¯s first day of class. There were two men and two women who accompanied him. One of them was Xuanxuan¡¯s biological aunt, Sun Mo¡¯er. The moment the boy entered the classroom, he began to resist. The few of them blocked him within the classroom. The teacher who was teaching the little guy on behalf of Su Nianen quickly went to hug him. However, just as he hugged him, the little guy became ruthless and pushed the teacher away. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I won¡¯t hug you. I won¡¯t hug you.¡± The little guy was placed on the ground, but he was still screaming fiercely. His eyes were slightly bulging, his face was red, and his veins were coming out, as if his entire body was exerting strength. When the few people accompanying the boy saw that his illness was acting up again, they all retreated to the door and hid far away. They were helpless against this boy. ¡°Quiet, quiet, Gu Tingxuan, quiet!¡± The teacher tried to use a louder voice to silence the little guy. However, who would have thought that the louder her voice was, the louder the little guy would scream? His sharp voice seemed to want to tear his own throat apart. The teacher hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to forcefully control the little guy. However, her hand was bitten firmly. ¡°Ah¡ª¡± ¡°Be careful, he might bite¡­¡± The aunt reminded her too late. The teacher had already been bitten. ¡°Let go, let go! Gu Tingxuan, let go!¡± The teacher¡¯s face turned green from the pain. This was a problematic child. The child wasn¡¯t listening to her at all. Instead, he bit even harder. The few parents who came to accompany their children were helpless as well. They surrounded the two of them and chattered, but couldn¡¯t do anything to help. ¡°Gu Tingxuan, Gu Tingxuan! Let go!¡± The aunt forcefully pulled the little guy away. The teacher¡¯s palm was about to be torn off. ¡°No, no¡­¡± The teacher was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She had no choice but to pinch the little guy¡¯s jaw. ¡°Let go, let go!¡± She was running out of patience. If he didn¡¯t let go, her hand would be crippled. The little guy probably felt the pain and loosened his jaw. But as soon as he let go, he ran out. The people accompanying him were shocked and immediately chased after him. The teacher¡¯s face turned pale from the pain. The aunt turned around and said anxiously, ¡°If anything happens to the child, the entire company will be buried with him!¡± The teacher was in pain and aggrieved. She had no choice but to stand up and chase after him. The boy turned back when he saw more people, and was eventually forced back to the classroom. ¡°Ah, ah, ah¡ª¡± He screamed crazily. If anyone approached, he would start hitting his head, scaring everyone away. The teacher felt that she couldn¡¯t continue to indulge the kid like this. ¡°If you come to our rehabilitation institution, you have to leave it to us. We have professional and scientific teaching for problematic children.¡± ¡°If you can do it, be my guest!¡± The aunt stated loudly that the whole point of them being here was for the sake of the child¡¯s health. Why waste their breath? The teacher seemed to have received approval and immediately pounced on the little guy. The little guy opened his mouth and bit down. The teacher quickly let go. He turned around and ran. The entrance was blocked, locking him in the classroom, so he spun around the place crazily. As the teacher chased after him, his whole face slammed into the wall. ¡°Ah, ah!¡± Hiss¡ª The few of them stopped in their tracks and looked at the wailing child in horror. The teacher was also stunned! The little guy had lost a tooth from the collision! At this moment, the ground was covered in blood! It was a shocking sight! The few of them were like wooden blocks, frozen in fear as they watched the child scream and cry. At this moment, whoever stepped forward would be the culprit. That was Gu Xichuan¡¯s son. Who would dare? But at this moment, Gu Xichuan himself arrived. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gu Xichuan rushed into the classroom and saw his son rolling on the ground, with blood all over his face! The amount of blood increased as it pooled on the ground. At that moment, Gu Xichuan¡¯s veins popped. ¡°Are you all trying to murder this child?!¡± Everyone turned around at the same time and saw Gu Xichuan¡¯s raging face. They wanted to explain, but nobody dared to speak up. ¡°Brother-in-law, Xuanxuan is¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Gu Xichuan shouted angrily and strode towards the little guy. If he could not even leave his son alone with these people for a moment, then what use did they have? ¡°Xuanxuan¡­¡± However, the little guy refused to acknowledge anyone at this moment. It was useless even if Gu Xichuan himself came. No matter who it was that approached, they would scream and roar. He¡¯d even hit his head on the ground! Gu Xichuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and kept retreating. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Daddy won¡¯t get close to you. Daddy won¡¯t get close. Xuanxuan, don¡¯t hurt yourself.¡± Gu Xichuan was mentally and physically exhausted. Why did this happen after he sent him here? Everything was fine in the morning. Sun Mo¡¯er hurriedly explained, ¡°Brother-in-law, it¡¯s not that we weren¡¯t taking care of Xuanxuan, but the moment we get close to him, he goes crazy. We don¡¯t know what to do.¡± Gu Xichuan kept staring at his son and did not look at Sun Mo¡¯er. During this period of time, he had interacted with his son a lot. He knew that his son must have been irritated prior to this breakdown. Their method was wrong! ¡°Is that all the teacher can do?¡± Gu Xichuan turned around, but he didn¡¯t see Su Nianen. ¡°Where¡¯s Teacher Su Nianen?¡± The teacher quickly took a step forward and answered timidly, ¡°Teacher Su has been fired. I¡¯ll be teaching in her place.¡± ¡°Fired?¡± Gu Xichuan thought he had misheard. ¡°Today?¡± ¡°Yes, because of Teacher Su¡¯s health¡­¡± Gu Xichuan turned around and left the classroom. ¡°All of you, stay away from my son!¡± ¡°Brother-in-law, where are you going?¡± Sun Mo¡¯er chased after him, but she only saw Gu Xichuan¡¯s back. The light in her eyes gradually dimmed as she gave up chasing. Gu Xichuan called Su Nianen, but she hung up. Gu Xichuan called again. After being hung up on many times, she finally picked up. ¡°Teacher Su, please help my son. He needs you.¡± At this moment, Gu Xichuan had mixed feelings. A strong sense of powerlessness made his heart ache. ¡°You are¡­¡± ¡°Gu Xichuan.¡± Gu Xichuan¡¯s voice was a little hoarse. At this moment, he really hoped that someone could save his son! Su Nianen remained silent. Gu Xichuan begged in a low voice, ¡°Teacher Su, I hope you can come to school. Please help him.¡± This was the first time Gu Xichuan had let go of everything and asked for help like this. ¡°I¡¯m no longer a teacher, I¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll come pick you up. Where are you now?¡± ¡°Mr. Gu, I¡¯ve already been fired. I¡¯m not responsible for teaching¡­¡± Gu Xichuan quickly said, ¡°Xuanxuan needs you. He¡¯s a helpless and pitiful child. He needs you. If I had a way, Teacher Su, I wouldn¡¯t force you like this. I hope you can help him on his behalf, out of sympathy.¡± ¡°I¡¯m near the place. I¡¯ll come over now.¡± Su Nianen hung up and exhaled. Overnight, she lost her job and even obtained a few fake certificates that determined she was mentally ill. Lin Wenfeng. What a heartless wolf that man was! When Su Nianen returned to the company, Gu Xichuan was waiting anxiously by the door. Su Nianen didn¡¯t think Gu Xichuan was a big shot at all. In her eyes, this man was no different from an ordinary parent. ¡°Xuanxuan is in a terrible state. No one can get close to him. Once they do, he attacks people and hurts himself even more.¡± Gu Xichuan controlled his emotions very well, but there was deep worry in his eyes. Su Nianen waited for Gu Xichuan to finish speaking before asking him a question. ¡°You think I can get close to him?¡± ¡°Please, Teacher Su.¡± Gu Xichuan sighed helplessly. Su Nianen didn¡¯t answer. Gu Xichuan didn¡¯t give her any way out. Su Nianen didn¡¯t care about Gu Xichuan¡¯s anxious expression. Every family that came here was the same. If the child in the family had such a problem, all their worries and focus would be on the family. Parents in these situations couldn¡¯t be chased away. Su Nianen quickly entered the classroom. There were even more people inside. Other than the teachers, anyone else who thought that they could try to deal with the little guy had come. However, the little guy became even crazier and more agitated. ¡°Teacher Su.¡± Someone shouted. Everyone looked at Su Nianen, but she ignored them. Su Nianen held a rattle drum first. The drum beat drowned out the little guy¡¯s screams. Only a louder sound could divert the little guy¡¯s attention. Sure enough, in less than a minute, the little guy stopped screaming. However, his eyes were dull, and he did not have the consciousness to look for the drums. Everyone sighed. They heaved a sigh of relief when the child¡¯s shrill cries stopped. Su Nianen put down the rattle drum and walked towards the little guy. She stopped three meters away from the child. ¡°Cutie pie, cutie pie?¡± The boy¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. However, it was only for a moment. A moment after that, he returned to his previous dazed state. ¡°Cutie pie, let me hug you, okay?¡± Su Nianen¡¯s voice was soft and gentle, and the smile in her eyes was warm. As she spoke, she approached the little guy. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios All the onlookers held their breaths and focused. It was as if they were in a public lecture. Almost everyone in the company came to watch. Su Nianen was already very close to the little guy. She did not immediately carry the child. Instead, she sat down beside him. ¡°Cutie pie, can you give me your hand?¡± Su Nianen stretched out her hand, but after waiting for a minute or two, the child did not react. He still sat there in a daze. Su Nianen placed her left hand on her right hand and repeated it a few times. ¡°Can I shake your hand?¡± As she spoke, she tentatively reached out to take the child¡¯s hand. However, as soon as she touched it, the little guy immediately retracted his hand and refused to let her touch it. However, Su Nianen was pleasantly surprised when he retracted his hand. This child was not in as bad a condition as she¡¯d thought! He reacted. He wasn¡¯t stupid, and besides, he had a quick reaction. Su Nianen suddenly smiled sincerely. ¡°Cutie pie, let me hug you, okay?¡± Su Nianen went forward and picked the child up. ¡°Ah, ah¡ª¡± The boy began to scream. At this moment, among the onlookers, some were watching the show, some were looking smug, and some were instantly tense. Su Nianen coaxed him gently and pressed the child¡¯s head between her shoulders and neck. She gently covered his ears and caressed the child¡¯s face. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Teacher is here. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Perhaps it was Su Nianen¡¯s voice that made the little guy quiet down. After a few cries, the child obediently lay against Su Nianen¡¯s body. Su Nianen carried the child out of the classroom. However, when she reached the door, she immediately frowned. There was a whole crowd outside the door! So even after she¡¯d been fired, she still had to give all the teachers a public demonstration? Su Nianen caught a glimpse of the director in the crowd. The director smiled at her obsequiously. Not only the director, but all the leaders of the company were also here. ¡°Clap clap clap!¡± Someone took the lead in clapping. For a moment, everyone applauded. Su Nianen¡¯s face instantly darkened. ¡°Ah¡ª¡± As expected, the little guy was frightened and became irritated again. Gu Xichuan was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. He shot a look at the boss of the agency. The boss immediately controlled the situation and forbade anyone from making a sound. Su Nianen carried the little guy out and found a quiet place to sit for more than ten minutes. The little guy fell asleep on her. She waved at Gu Xichuan, who quickly walked over. ¡°Teacher Su, thank you.¡± Su Nianen returned the child to Gu Xichuan. ¡°I¡¯m no longer a teacher here.¡± ¡°Teacher Su, you¡¯ve seen Xuanxuan¡¯s situation. If he follows you, there¡¯s still hope for him to get better. I hope you can accept letting me hire you as Xuanxuan¡¯s private teacher,¡± Gu Xichuan invited sincerely. Su Nianen shook her head. ¡°I have some personal matters to deal with recently. Moreover, my private lessons are usually held at the company. I don¡¯t go to the client¡¯s home.¡± Gu Xichuan hurriedly said, ¡°If it¡¯s convenient for you, Teacher Su, I can send Xuanxuan to your house every day¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not convenient,¡± Su Nianen rejected. She was about to leave when she gave another reason. ¡°It¡¯s expensive to hire me.¡± Gu Xichuan looked at Su Nianen¡¯s back and didn¡¯t react for a moment. So, she was worried that he couldn¡¯t afford it? If it was just because of money, it would be easy! Gu Xichuan immediately asked his secretary to quickly draft an employment contract with excellent conditions. Gu Xichuan asked his family doctor to go straight to the villa as he brought his son home directly. As the car drove away, the four people who came accompanying the little guy stood awkwardly in the wind. ¡°Miss Sun, is he angry?¡± ¡°Will he fire us all?¡± Sun Mo¡¯er was already annoyed to death. How could she care about these people? She thought that she would have more time to interact with Gu Xichuan if she came to take care of his kid, that she would have a chance to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position. But who knew¡­ Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Unable to accept Lin Wenfeng¡¯s slander, Su Nianen made her way directly to Lin Wenfeng¡¯s company. However, Lin Wenfeng avoided meeting with her. Su Nianen waited in the company for a long time, but Lin Wenfeng didn¡¯t appear. She could only leave. No one answered when she knocked on the door at her in-laws¡¯ house. When she tried opening the door with the key, she realized that the lock had been changed. Although Su Nianen had long given up on this family, some of the Lin family¡¯s actions were still heartbreaking. Li Feifei sent her a message: ¡®See you on the roof¡¯. Su Nianen looked at the message and chuckled to herself silently. How could this person still be so shameless, asking to meet her? Su Nianen turned around and left. There were people in the room. Mother Lin and Li Feifei were guarding behind the door. Hearing the commotion outside the door, Li Feifei whispered, ¡°She¡¯s going up. We¡¯ll go up after her in a few minutes.¡± ¡°Can we really do this without anyone knowing?¡± This wasn¡¯t like killing chickens. This was a human they were targeting¡­ Li Feifei said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she has mental problems. Plus, we¡¯ve already arranged everything, we just have to wait for her to go up. No one will suspect a thing.¡± Hearing her words, her mother-in-law became determined again. The two of them went to the top floor together, but they did not see Su Nianen anywhere. ¡°She didn¡¯t come.¡± Mother Lin looked around. ¡°She¡¯s not here.¡± This was a human they were talking about. She wasn¡¯t a chicken, or a duck, or livestock. Mother Lin had been feeling guilty about it, but now that the plan failed, she heaved a sigh of relief. Li Feifei gritted her teeth in anger. She had planned for so long, all for nothing. ¡°She must have gone to Wen Feng. We can¡¯t let her reach him. Once Wen Feng softens his heart, our plan would all be in vain.¡± Mother Lin went downstairs first. ¡°We have to think about this again. I don¡¯t think we should let anything happen here. We have to let her die in a place that¡¯s far away.¡± Li Feifei only smiled, not too pleased. It wasn¡¯t as easy as Mother Lin made it to be. How would they have any control if it took place far away? * * * Su Nianen finally found Lin Wenfeng at the bar. Amidst the revelry, Lin Wenfeng and Li Feifei returned to their seats. Seeing that Lin Wenfeng had openly brought Li Feifei out, his friends addressed the situation. ¡°When¡¯s the wedding?¡± Li Feifei lowered her head shyly but waited expectantly for Lin Wenfeng¡¯s reply. Lin Wenfeng said ambiguously, ¡°It¡¯s still early.¡± Li Feifei was disappointed. She could no longer maintain the smile on her face and turned to stare at Lin Wenfeng. ¡°Oh, Sister-in-law is unhappy. CEO Lin, are you not going to take responsibility?¡± Lin Wenfeng smiled. ¡°It¡¯s not decided yet. After all, the date will depend on her.¡± As soon as Lin Wenfeng finished speaking, he looked at Li Feifei and pulled her over. He kissed her on the cheek. ¡°Right?¡± Li Feifei laughed dryly. It depended on her? Ha, men! Suddenly, Li Feifei hugged Lin Wenfeng and pressed her lips against his face. Lin Wenfeng forcefully wiped off the lipstick on his face, but Li Feifei kissed him again the next second. ¡°Do you love me?¡± ¡°?¡± Li Feifei asked again, insisting. ¡°Do you love me?¡± Lin Wenfeng frowned. ¡°Yes.¡± Although Lin Wenfeng didn¡¯t mind showing off in front of his friends, he wasn¡¯t a clingy person. Just as he turned around and wanted to push Li Feifei away, Li Feifei turned his head back. ¡°Do you love me more, or Su Nianen more?¡± Lin Wenfeng frowned. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Lin Wenfeng felt that it was quite pointless to argue about this here. ¡°Wen Feng.¡± Li Feifei held Lin Wenfeng¡¯s face with both hands. ¡°Tell me, do you love me more or do you love her more?¡± Lin Wenfeng had to say, ¡°You, I love you more, okay?¡± Satisfied, Li Feifei hugged Lin Wenfeng and kissed him passionately. Seeing such a passionate scene, the onlookers would usually start to cheer and scream. But now, the people in the booth looked at each other awkwardly. Because Su Nianen was standing right in front of Li Feifei, which was directly behind Lin Wenfeng. The few of them did not say much. They all knew each other, and the atmosphere became stranger and stranger. ¡°Since you love each other so much, please sign the divorce agreement,¡± Su Nianen finally said after having watched the show for a while. Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen slapped something on the table. It was two divorce papers. Everyone looked at Lin Wenfeng, Li Feifei, and then at Su Nianen. A peacemaker wanted to ease the situation. ¡°We¡¯re all respectable people. It¡¯s not appropriate to make a scene in public.¡± Su Nianen shot him a look. ¡°Do you want to persuade him to reconcile, or do you want to persuade him to break up? I remember that you were all distinguished guests at my wedding with Lin Wenfeng. Now it seems like you can¡¯t wait to be part of a second wedding?¡± The other party shut up immediately. Su Nianen turned to Li Feifei. Li Feifei¡¯s arms were still wrapped around Lin Wenfeng¡¯s neck. Although she didn¡¯t say anything, she provoked her with the victory in her eyes. Only then did Lin Wenfeng realize that Li Feifei¡¯s actions just now were meant to provoke Su Nianen. Lin Wenfeng really wanted to see Su Nianen fight for him, but Su Nianen¡¯s eyes were so cold that he couldn¡¯t feel any warmth at all. He was quite indignant, seeing that the woman who used to love him so much cut her love off just like that. ¡°You¡¯re really willing to leave me?¡± This was the first time Lin Wenfeng had asked Su Nianen directly. Su Nianen replied, ¡°My youth has been wasted away on you. I¡¯ll have to cut my losses at some point.¡± Lin Wenfeng¡¯s face darkened. Li Feifei tugged at Lin Wenfeng¡¯s collar. ¡°Wenfeng, you should part on good terms. Just sign the papers and we¡¯ll get rid of her.¡± Lin Wenfeng pushed Li Feifei away. ¡°What nonsense are you spouting!¡± If they really divorced, their current scheme would be impossible! It¡¯d be like trying to fill a straw basket with water! ¡°Nianen, Secretary Li and I don¡¯t have the same relationship. It¡¯s just a fling. How can that be compared to our five years of history?¡± Su Nianen chuckled. ¡°Don¡¯t you have to take responsibility for your adult games?¡± ¡°We are husband and wife,¡± Lin Wenfeng confirmed. Su Nianen couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste her breath on this trash. She picked up a bottle of beer and threw it at Li Feifei. ¡°Ah¡ª¡± Li Feifei reflexively hid behind Lin Wenfeng and pushed him forward. Lin Wenfeng pushed Su Nianen away. Su Nianen grabbed another bottle and threw it at Lin Wenfeng¡¯s head. Clang! Wine splashed everywhere! Glass shards flew all around, reflecting a beautiful and dazzling color. ¡°Ah, help! Someone help!¡± Li Feifei jumped onto the seat and screamed in fear. She didn¡¯t dare help even when she saw Lin Wenfeng¡¯s head bleeding, afraid that she would be the next one to suffer. Su Nianen grabbed another bottle of wine and glanced at the brand. ¡°Hah!¡± She looked at Li Feifei coldly. She held the neck of the bottle and pointed the bottom at Li Feifei. ¡°Whose idea was it to send those documents over to my company?¡± Li Feifei shouted, ¡°Hurry up and help! Hold her back, hold this crazy woman back!¡± Two people immediately approached from behind. She turned around and smiled. ¡°Senior Huo, Brother Zhang, you two were both the best man for my wedding with Lin Wenfeng. The senior took the opportunity to persuade her. ¡°Nianen, you¡¯ve already beaten him up. That¡¯s enough.¡± Su Nianen sneered. ¡°If Lin Wenfeng doesn¡¯t sign the divorce papers, this will always be a family matter between us! No matter how much trouble Li Feifei causes, she¡¯s still a mistress!¡± The few of them could not interfere and just stood there. Su Nianen looked at Li Feifei. ¡°You slut. You and that scumbag made me lose my job. I¡¯ll beat you up. That¡¯s considered a light punishment, right?¡± Li Feifei gritted her teeth in anger and roared incoherently, ¡°Su Nianen, you¡¯re the one who couldn¡¯t hold Wen Feng¡¯s heart, yet you¡¯re blaming others for being too good? What a joke! Despair sure gives courage even to a coward, look at you coming here to make a scene and attacking people. What, you don¡¯t care about pride anymore?¡± Su Nianen¡¯s expression hardened. ¡°Attacking people? With the evidence of mental illness that you¡¯ve so thoughtfully provided, I can even kill someone, if you can believe that!¡± Li Feifei looked into Su Nianen¡¯s eyes and felt a little afraid. There were many people in the bar. In just a short while, a lot of these people had already surrounded them. A good number of them were holding their cell phones and taking videos. Li Feifei screamed for help. ¡°This woman wants to kill me, hurry up and throw her out!¡± Su Nianen threw two plates of fruits at Li Feifei. ¡°You¡¯re the one who should be thrown out! It¡¯s only right for the first wife to beat the mistress!¡± Li Feifei screamed from the impact. She jumped down from the seat and tried to hide in the crowd. However, wherever she went, everyone there avoided her like a plague. They quickly opened up space for her, giving plenty of opportunity for the first wife to attack to her heart¡¯s content. Su Nianen suddenly stopped. Why did these unfamiliar and young faces touch her heart for some reason? Li Feifei fled in all directions in a comical manner, but she was pushed back by the crowd. She turned to Su Nianen. ¡°Su Nianen, don¡¯t do anything rash. Let me tell you, I¡¯ve already called the police!¡± Su Nianen¡¯s wrist was grabbed by the senior from before. ¡°Nianen, there¡¯s no need to expose your unsightly family matters. Isn¡¯t this enough?¡± Su Nianen shook off the other party and said, ¡°I think that after today, I definitely won¡¯t be able to find an opportunity as good as this, where I can take revenge on that mistress who ruined my career and my family! So, today must be the day!¡± As soon as Su Nianen finished speaking, she rushed towards Li Feifei and slapped her face twice, making her head spin. Before Li Feifei could react, Su Nianen grabbed her hair and vented all her anger she had pent up from losing her job! Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Upstairs in the bar, the Manager saw that the situation downstairs was getting out of control. He led a group of people and stood there, though all of them were unable to interfere. ¡°Young Master Song, aren¡¯t you going to stop them? This is¡­¡± The man sitting in the shadows was called Song Beian. He came from an extraordinary background, but was not a decent person. ¡°Why stop them? It¡¯s rare that a first wife isn¡¯t a punching bag like usual. Isn¡¯t this worthy of praise?¡± Worthy of praise..? The Manager was sweating profusely. Before the bar staff could stop them, the police arrived first. Like a victorious female general, Su Nianen strode out of the bar herself and got into the police car first. She no longer had any need to care about appearances. Gone! Her marriage was dead and her job was gone. What was she afraid of? Only Su Nianen and Li Feifei went to the police station, whereas Lin Wenfeng was sent to the hospital. Su Nianen was fearless. Her statement at the police station was an admittance to beating someone up. However, she and Lin Wenfeng were still married. At most, this could only be considered a family dispute. As for hitting Li Feifei, it was completely reasonable¡ªit was an accidental injury! The person who took the statement was a policewoman. She went through the procedure in a businesslike manner, but her attitude towards Su Nianen was surprisingly friendly. As this was a domestic dispute, the police only gave verbal warnings and released her. Su Nianen was about to leave the police station when her mother-in-law stopped her and dragged her into the police station. ¡°Police, police, will you not do something about this vicious woman? She¡¯s a murderer, a murderer! Will you not do something?¡± Soon, police officers came out to check the commotion. Mother Lin immediately grabbed one of them and held him tightly. ¡°This woman, this crazy woman, she wants to kill my son! She sent my son to the hospital. His head was bleeding, and his clothes were soaked in blood! If the ambulance had been any slower, my son would have died!¡± ¡°Sentence her. Sentence her immediately. This must be the crime of intentional homicide. Sentence her to death. Police officers, will you not do something? This is murder, you have to do something, right?¡± Su Nianen stood where she was, expressionless. The few police officers who were about to handle the situation had already understood when they saw that it was Su Nianen. They immediately turned around or brushed past her. Only the police officers who were forcefully caught by Mother Lin had no choice but to receive her. ¡°Madam, even if your son is hospitalized, it will still be a family dispute. At most, there will be mediation, not a sentencing.¡± The mother-in-law grabbed the police officer and refused to let go. ¡°Why not? This woman beat my son up and sent him to the hospital! Officer, isn¡¯t it illegal to hit someone?¡± ¡°But the people involved in this assault were husband and wife. It was a family dispute.¡± Mother Lin: ¡°What are you police doing? How are you serving the people? She¡¯s beaten someone up and he¡¯s almost lost his life, why aren¡¯t you arresting her? You¡¯re helping the wicked!¡± ¡°Madam, if you don¡¯t listen to my advice, we can only detain you for obstruction of police work.¡± These words worked. Just as the mother-in-law was about to use her skill of being unreasonable, she instantly shut up. The police pulled away from her to receive the other people. Her mother-in-law cursed as she walked out. When she saw Su Nianen stopping a car by the roadside, she immediately rushed forward to stop her. ¡°You b*tch, you piece of trash! How dare you hit Wen Feng, you evil jinx!¡± Mother Lin scolded loudly and started hitting. Su Nianen subconsciously dodged. Her mother-in-law hit her a few times but missed all her attacks. She was furious. ¡°Jinx, you b*stard, how dare you dodge¡­¡± When Mother Lin pounced on Su Nianen again, Su Nianen got into a car that happened to stop beside her. Bang! The car door closed. Mother Lin couldn¡¯t stop her attack in time. She slammed into the car door. Almost at the same time, the car drove away. Mother Lin staggered and fell to the ground. Evidently, Mother Lin was at her limit and was extremely pissed off. She immediately rolled around and refused to get up. However, this was not her house. Without her loyal son by her side, she decided to stand up and leave, feeling humiliated after being pointed at by the passerby. In the car, Su Nianen didn¡¯t feel happy about managing to resist her mother-in-law for the first time. Her entire body was tense, and her fists were still clenched tightly. ¡°Miss, where are you going?¡± This unfamiliar voice instantly pulled Su Nianen¡¯s rationality back. Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen turned around. He had a young face, long blue hair, diamond earrings, and a riveted leather jacket. The logo of the car was Ferrari, and his watch was a Rolex¡­ Su Nianen¡¯s expression changed slightly. This set of standards was either the attire of a lame rich second-generation heir or of someone who just won the lottery. Of course, this couldn¡¯t be a chauffeur! However, she still pretended to be calm and forced an awkward smile. ¡°Where can you go?¡± ¡°Other than hell, I can go anywhere with my driving skills.¡± The young man smiled. Su Nianen stared at his face. It was a really fair face! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I got in the wrong car. Please stop by the side. If you don¡¯t mind, I can pay for the distance we¡¯ve traveled.¡± ¡°Do I look like I need money?¡± The man continued, ¡°My name is Song Beian. What¡¯s yours?¡± Su Nianen felt that this was a little sudden. She recalled the situation when she got into the car. Even if she was anxious to get rid of her mother-in-law and just got into a random car by accident, this man didn¡¯t even say anything. It wasn¡¯t like he was mute. ¡°Still, I better pay for this journey,¡± Su Nianen said. ¡°You¡¯re like a hero. It¡¯s so awesome.¡± Song Beian started chatting. ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯t come out so soon. I was going to get you a lawyer to help you, but it looks like there are still many good people.¡± Su Nianen¡¯s head whipped around. ¡°Did you follow me from the bar?¡± ¡°The first wife beating up the scumbag husband. It should be in the headlines by now,¡± Song Beian said. He had just returned to the country and encountered such fresh news. What luck. Su Nianen¡¯s head hurt. She was going on the news again. Not long ago, her mother-in-law had made a scene in the hospital. Someone had recorded a video and posted it online, and her mother had even called the next day to ask about it. She didn¡¯t really show up on camera the last time, but today¡­ She sighed. Su Nianen turned to look out of the car window worriedly, thinking about how to explain this to her parents. It wasn¡¯t that she couldn¡¯t afford getting this divorce. Her only concern was that her parents would worry. ¡°Let¡¯s stop here, thank you.¡± Song Beian still had a lot to say, but Su Nianen¡¯s tone was firm and cold. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll treat you to a drink next time.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Su Nianen got out of the car, and Song Beian drove away without hesitation. ¡­ At the hospital. The mother-in-law sat in front of the bed and was gratified to see Li Feifei feeding her son porridge, spoon by spoon. If Li Feifei had a family like Su Nianen¡¯s, everything would be perfect! ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it. We¡¯ll just ask for money as compensation.¡± Lin Wenfeng was filled with anger. ¡°We¡¯ve all been ruined by her. I won¡¯t be satisfied with just that, unless we take all of the Su family¡¯s money!¡± Mother Lin asked, ¡°Then are we really going to hire an assassin? Everything leaves a trace, and the police find out about it after investigating.¡± Her mother-in-law had gone to the police station today. That was not fun. She found out that the sentence for murder was lifetime imprisonment! ¡°It¡¯s not worth it to use our family¡¯s future to gamble on that woman. Wenfeng, listen to Mom¡¯s advice. Just take a sum of money.¡± Lin Wenfeng said, ¡°If we really get a divorce, the Su family¡¯s connections will be cut off.¡± ¡°Then you¡¯re still dragging it out? Even if you don¡¯t want to get a divorce, will that rotten Su Nianen let you live in peace? What relationship can you even maintain?¡± Lin Wenfeng remained silent, unwilling to give up. He was actually beaten up by Su Nianen! The woman who had once loved him so passionately actually attacked him. Deep down, Lin Wenfeng still believed that Su Nianen was just being spiteful and definitely still loved him. As long as he coaxed her a little more, she would come back obediently. ¡°I don¡¯t plan to get a divorce. This is good,¡± Lin Wenfeng said. Li Feifei was stunned. ¡°Wenfeng, what about me?¡± X¡±You have me. Be filial to my mother and I won¡¯t mistreat you. As for Su Nianen, what she wants is just a little attention from me. Feifei, be magnanimous and don¡¯t lower yourself to her level.¡± Li Feifei refused, but she could not argue with Lin Wenfeng at this time, so she could only shut up. But Mother Lin was unwilling. ¡°The fact that the Lin family¡¯s daughter-in-law is that piece of trash disgusts me!¡± Lin Wenfeng comforted her. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll talk to her and let her live outside. Feifei will stay at home and be filial to you.¡± Mother Lin thought for a moment. ¡°Well, it¡¯s an idea.¡± She said to Li Feifei nicely, ¡°Feifei, I see you as my own daughter-in-law.¡± ¡°Auntie, I¡¯ve long treated you and Wenfeng as family. No matter what my status is, I¡¯ll love Wenfeng and be filial to you.¡± Li Feifei¡¯s words brought great comfort to Mother Lin and Lin Wenfeng. * * * Coincidentally, it was the birthday of Su Nianen¡¯s father, Professor Su. Su Nianen lingered outside the Su family¡¯s estate for a long time without entering. Without her job and marriage, her family was the only thing she had left. However, just as she was hesitating, she saw Lin Wenfeng drive into the neighborhood. The sight shocked her, and she immediately walked into the neighborhood as well. Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lin Wenfeng arrived at the Su residence first. It was Su Nianen¡¯s mother who opened the door. While her mother had never liked Lin Wenfeng, her daughter did. She could only try her best to accept this son-in-law. ¡°You¡¯ve come.¡± Mother Su said lightly and took the gift that Lin Wenfeng handed her. Lin Wenfeng couldn¡¯t tell from Mother Su¡¯s attitude whether or not the Su family knew about what had happened recently. After all, Mother Su hadn¡¯t given him a good attitude in the past few years. ¡°Is Wen Feng here?¡± Professor Su¡¯s voice came from the living room. Lin Wenfeng heard the joy in his father-in-law¡¯s words and heaved a sigh of relief. Judging from his tone, the Su family probably didn¡¯t know yet. That only meant one thing. This meant that Su Nianen couldn¡¯t bear to part with him. The crazier her actions, the greater her love for him. She was just putting on an act when she said she wanted a divorce. If she really was planning to get a divorce, why would she hide it from her family? Lin Wenfeng walked into the living room. There were guests! Professor Su kindly arranged for Lin Wenfeng to sit beside him. Then, he politely introduced him to the people on the other side. ¡°Xichuan, this is my son-in-law, Lin Wenfeng. He runs his own company and does home design and renovation.¡± Lin Wenfeng looked up with excitement. He had thought that the person on his father-in-law¡¯s left looked familiar. It was Gu Xichuan! The eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Xichuan! Lin Wenfeng was a little excited. He quickly stood up and extended his hand for a handshake. ¡°Hello, Mr. Gu. I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± Gu Xichuan nodded slightly and pretended to reach out. However, he quickly turned to Professor Su. ¡°Will Teacher Su be back?¡± Professor Su¡¯s gaze was blocked by Lin Wenfeng¡¯s body, and he didn¡¯t see Gu Xichuan¡¯s inconspicuous actions. ¡°Nianen hasn¡¯t called in a while, but it¡¯s good that she¡¯s busy with work.¡± Gu Xichuan continued, ¡°Teacher Su is good at teaching and has patience. She¡¯s a role model for young people.¡± Gu Xichuan chatted with Professor Su the entire time. Lin Wenfeng was ignored because Gu Xichuan was simply too dazzling. Everyone¡¯s attention was on him. Although, Lin Wenfeng didn¡¯t feel awkward despite that. He kept looking at Gu Xichuan and tried speaking to him. Lin Wenfeng kept trying to make conversation, but was consistently ignored. Professor Su couldn¡¯t bear to see his son-in-law embarrassed, so he introduced him to Gu Xichuan again. ¡°My daughter was busy with work and didn¡¯t come back, but my son-in-law is considerate. He comes over to have a drink with me every New Year or festival. Xichuan, it¡¯s not easy for young people to start a business. If you need Wenfeng for anything at all, just tell me. Although his company isn¡¯t big, he has a good character and is meticulous. He will definitely satisfy you.¡± Gu Xichuan glanced at Lin Wenfeng sharply. ¡°Mr. Lin, how do you understand the words ¡®good character¡¯?¡± Lin Wenfeng immediately stood up and prepared to introduce himself to Gu Xichuan. However, at this moment, Su Nianen returned. ¡°Lin Wenfeng!¡± Su Nianen rushed into the house. Her voice reached them before she even arrived. The people in the living room looked at this person who had rushed in. Gu Xichuan¡¯s eyes quickly turned warm. After a short silence, Mother Su said, ¡°Nianen, you¡¯re back.¡± Professor Su was a little dissatisfied with his impudent daughter, but with a guest around, it was not appropriate to reprimand her in front of outsiders. ¡°Go help in the kitchen. Your mother has her hands full.¡± Professor Su gestured. Su Nianen stood in front of everyone, unable to hide the anger in her eyes. She looked at the fawning Lin Wenfeng and questioned him. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Lin Wenfeng was absolutely infuriated by Su Nianen¡¯s interruption! However, he still had to answer with a smile, ¡°Today is Dad¡¯s birthday. Every year, we come¡­¡± ¡°Lin Wenfeng, can you be more honest as a person?¡± Lin Wenfeng was humiliated by Su Nianen¡¯s words. ¡°Nianen, Dad is watching. If there¡¯s anything you¡¯re unhappy about, let¡¯s go home and talk¡­¡± Su Nianen warned in a low voice, ¡°Lin Wenfeng, I ask you not to disturb my family. This is my bottom line!¡± Lin Wenfeng asked innocently, ¡°En, what did I do to you? Don¡¯t lose your temper. Let¡¯s talk things out.¡± ¡°???¡± Su Nianen took a deep breath and laughed in anger. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there were guests at home, she would definitely beat his head up again! Professor Su¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Nianen, go help your mother. Don¡¯t mess around.¡± What a shameful display. Mother Su had already come over to pull Su Nianen away. She said in a low voice, ¡°There are guests at home. Know your limits.¡± Su Nianen shook off her mother¡¯s hand. ¡°Lin Wenfeng, we have guests at home. Are you leaving, or are you going to ask these elders to leave?¡± As Su Nianen spoke, she glanced at the elders. However, there was one more person among the elders today¡­ ¡®Hm?¡¯ Su Nianen¡¯s gaze had drifted past him before quickly snapping back. Gu Xichuan! Instantly, she cursed in her heart. Why was he here again?! ¡°Why are you at my house too?¡± The atmosphere was already a mess, but the outsiders were even more confused after hearing what Su Nianen said. Gu Xichuan immediately stood up, adjusted his suit, and reached out to Su Nianen. ¡°Ms. Su, nice to meet you.¡± Su Nianen glared at him. Nice to meet you? What the hell was this guy doing here?! Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gu Xichuan smiled back at Su Nianen¡¯s glare and retracted his hand awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯s my mentor¡¯s birthday today. I¡¯m here to visit,¡± Gu Xichuan replied. Su Nianen stood there with a long face, not in a good mood. At this moment, Lin Wenfeng was even more oblivious to the situation. He actually complained to Su Nianen. ¡°En, so you know Mr. Gu too. Why didn¡¯t you introduce me to him earlier?¡± Su Nianen immediately turned to Lin Wenfeng. ¡°You really have the audacity to say that?!¡± Mother Su pulled Su Nianen¡¯s hand again. ¡°En, come and help me.¡± ¡°This shameless Mr. Lin Wenfeng, who is currently still my husband, refuses to leave my house. I can only trouble you uncles to leave first. We have family matters to discuss¡­¡± ¡°Nianen!¡± Professor Su was furious. Su Nianen immediately said, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m only rudely asking the elders to leave so that I can protect the Su family¡¯s dignity!¡± Professor Su¡¯s face darkened. He tried to stop his daughter again, but she refused to listen, resulting in even more embarrassment for him. The guests who came were all old friends who had known each other for decades. They immediately stood up to give the Su family some space. But at this moment, the doorbell rang loudly and continuously outside. Mother Su quickly went to open the door. Behind her, Professor Su apologized to his old friends in a low voice and sent them to the door. However, right as the door was opened, something splashed in. Whoosh¡ª ¡°Ah, ah!¡± A basin of rancid dog blood splashed at Mother Su! Mother Su screamed as she was soaked all over! She jumped in surprise and backed off. Her eyes were blinded by the blood, and the floor was covered in that unbearable, noxious blood. Clang! An iron basin hit the ground. Mother Lin stood at the door with her hands on her waist. She looked at Mother Su, who had been thoroughly splashed by her, and cursed loudly, ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for this moment! How is it, does dog blood taste good? I¡¯ve seen through your family¡¯s face! You¡¯re an outstanding scholar from a scholarly family, yet you¡¯ve raised a crazy and rotten daughter who couldn¡¯t give birth, who even married into our family to harm my son! Your Su family really is amazing at scheming. You¡¯re amazing. You¡¯re all just too amazing!¡± Everyone was stunned! It was not until Mother Lin finished yelling that everyone reacted. Su Nianen immediately took off her clothes and quickly wiped her mother¡¯s face. Mother Su took the clothes and pushed Su Nianen away, wiping herself a few times before throwing them on the ground. ¡°In-law! Watch yourself!¡± Ever since she found out that her daughter was dating Lin Wenfeng, she¡¯d been opposed to it since the start! However, her daughter liked him. Not only did she not break up with him, they maintained a great relationship until and after they got married. However, the consequences of not stopping her daughter from sticking to this man¡ª Dog blood and insults, splashed all over her at her own doorstep! Mother Lin pointed at Mother Su valiantly. ¡°Watch myself? You¡¯re the one who should watch yourself, it¡¯s your Su family who should watch yourselves! It¡¯s fine if your daughter can¡¯t give birth, but now she¡¯s even harming others! What are your intentions?¡± Professor Su said, ¡°Call the police!¡± Even after what Mother Su and Professor Su said, Mother Lin was not afraid at all. ¡°You¡¯re university professors. If you don¡¯t mind losing face, then go for it! I¡¯m just an old woman from the countryside. What dignity do I need?¡± Professor Su was so angry that he leaned against the wall to support himself, and Mother Su was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Yet, she still had to maintain her dignity. She could not fight and argue with such a person. If word got out, how would Old Su live his life out there? Without another word, Su Nianen rolled up her sleeves and shielded her mother behind her. She stood in front of Mother Lin. ¡°Old woman, I don¡¯t have a good upbringing. You can challenge me and see if I¡¯ll have a mental breakdown. I¡¯ll tear your mouth apart at my door and break your legs!¡± Su Nianen¡¯s dark aura made Mother Lin take two steps back in fear. Professor Su shouted in a low voice, ¡°Nianen, you can¡¯t attack a senior!¡± Mother Lin took advantage of the situation. ¡°You vicious woman! How dare you hit an old woman? Try touching me. I haven¡¯t settled the score with you for sending Wenfeng to the hospital. You dare attack me? Come on, hit me, hit¡­¡± ¡°Lin Wenfeng!¡± Su Nianen suddenly shouted, interrupting Mother Lin¡¯s arrogance. ¡°If you don¡¯t get your mother away, don¡¯t blame me for taking action!¡± Lin Wenfeng reluctantly walked out and stood beside Su Nianen. He still wanted to try and do something here. ¡°Nianen, don¡¯t lower yourself to the level of an old woman. My mother is uncultured. Don¡¯t take her words to heart¡­¡± ¡°F*ck you, are you even human?¡± Su Nianen pushed Lin Wenfeng hard. Lin Wenfeng was pushed against the wall. He got some dog blood on himself and immediately wiped it away in disgust. When Mother Lin saw that Su Nianen had attacked her son, she immediately pointed at Su Nianen¡¯s nose and started yelling at her. ¡°How dare you hit my son? I¡¯ll make your entire family lose face! I¡¯ll make it so your entire family can never raise their heads again! Do you have any shame? How dare you hit my son? How is a woman like you still not struck by lightning?! You rotten woman, do you think I can¡¯t deal with you? It¡¯s very easy to deal with dogs like you who pretend to be human! Vicious woman, rotten trash! Your entire family will die. You¡¯re black-hearted!¡± Su Nianen¡¯s delicate features were contorted with anger. She immediately turned around and slapped Lin Wenfeng¡¯s face. Clack! ¡°I won¡¯t hit a senior. I¡¯ll hit your son.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she slapped him again. Lin Wenfeng was stunned on the spot. Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°You bitch!¡± Mother Lin rushed in, grabbed Su Nianen, and was about to hit her. In the next second, Mother Lin was pushed away like a chick. Su Nianen turned around and looked at Gu Xichuan, who had stepped forward. Gu Xichuan said, ¡°I have no intention of meddling in other people¡¯s business. But I just can¡¯t stand to see you flaunt your seniority and do whatever you want.¡± Mother Lin was indignant and wanted to rush forward. ¡°Who do you think you are? What right do you have to interfere in our family¡¯s matters?¡± Su Nianen¡¯s expression hardened. ¡°Come at me again!¡± She didn¡¯t react in time just now, allowing Gu Xichuan to stop Mother Lin. Now that they were fighting head-on, there was no way she¡¯d let her sneak any attacks in. Lin Wenfeng looked at Gu Xichuan and then at Su Nien. He thought about Gu Xichuan¡¯s powerful background. ¡°Mom, stop talking.¡± Su Nianen immediately exploded, ¡°Take your mother and get the hell out!¡± Lin Wenfeng glanced at Su Nianen and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ll come back another day to apologize to Dad and Mom.¡± ¡°Apologizing to this family? What¡¯s the point of that?¡± Lin Wenfeng pushed his mother away quickly. He still had expectations for Gu Xichuan¡¯s connections, and he couldn¡¯t leave a bad impression here. He had just heard it clearly. Gu Xichuan called Professor Su ¡°mentor.¡± After the mother and son of the Lin family left, the Su family fell silent. It was as if the entire world had fallen silent. On the upper floors of the two houses, the door of the house across the corridor slammed shut. It was obvious that they had eavesdropped enough. Su Nianen took a deep breath and turned to the people behind her. ¡°Dear uncles, I¡¯m really sorry about this whole unsightly affair. It¡¯s all my fault for not listening to my parents, now I¡¯ve made a fool of myself in front of you all. Today is dad¡¯s birthday, he¡¯s been glorious all his life and has never had such a birthday, it¡¯s all because of me. It¡¯s all because of me¡­¡± As Su Nianen spoke, tears streamed down her face. ¡°We all have our burdens to bear, every family has its hardships.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s all in the past. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Deal with it well. You¡¯ve already encountered such a thing, don¡¯t avoid it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The elders comforted her and left one after another. Gu Xichuan stood at the door and sympathized with Su Nien. He was here today for his son, Gu Tingxuan. He had been trying his best these past few days, and had yet to manage to see Su Nianen, let alone let his son attend her classes. The high-paying employment contract had also not been signed. Gu Xichuan had no choice but to use a desperate, last resort maneuver and disturb Professor Su. He wanted Professor Su to help him intercede. It didn¡¯t matter if he was misunderstood by Su Nianen or if she even hated him, but his son couldn¡¯t afford to wait. Gu Tingxuan would be five years old next year, and he still didn¡¯t know how to speak¡­ However, Gu Xichuan had only considered his own situation, and had never expected Su Nianen to be pestered by such an in-law. Every time he met her, her situation became worse and worse. Gu Xichuan felt very upset. He had actually known long ago that Professor Su had a talented and beautiful daughter. One year, when he returned to his school to give a lecture, Su Nianen was the student union representative who received him. At that time, he knew that the young and outstanding girl was his mentor¡¯s daughter. He remembered being impressed, thinking that it was as expected of his mentor¡¯s daughter. But a few years later, although still outstanding, her life had fallen into a quagmire because of a marriage. The daughter of the Su family should not have fallen so.. ¡°Mr. Gu, you don¡¯t seem to be leaving. Perhaps you¡¯re thinking of staying for dinner?¡± Su Nianen¡¯s rude voice made Gu Xichuan come back to his senses. Gu Xichuan quickly apologized. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to interfere in Teacher Su¡¯s private matters. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Since you know to be sorry, why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Professor Su stopped his daughter. ¡°Nianen, don¡¯t treat just anyone like that. Xichuan is just being kind.¡± ¡°Appreciate it.¡± Su Nianen entered the house. Her mother was still washing up as Su Nianen stood by the bathroom door for a long time. She felt a strong guilt and sadness within her. Because of her, her mother had to be humiliated like that at her age. Su Nianen wiped her tears and took a mop to clean up the entranceway. However, she saw that Gu Xichuan still hadn¡¯t left yet! ¡°Do you want to stay at my house for the new year? Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± She directly chased him away! She had never been so impatient with an outsider before. During this period of time, she was always bumping into him! Meanwhile, Gu Xichuan thought that he had achieved some success after working hard for so many years. Every time he met someone, they had to at least give him some face. But this Miss Su before him was really something else¡­ Chapter 20 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Nianen!¡± Professor Su scolded his daughter. ¡°You¡¯re getting more and more unruly.¡± Su Nianen took a deep breath and looked at the ceiling, forcing back the tears in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Gu. I really can¡¯t entertain guests at home today. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Su Nianen¡¯s tone was gentle, but it was still cold. Gu Xichuan nodded. ¡°I understand. I was rude. Miss Su, Professor, I¡¯ll visit another day.¡± Professor Su sent Gu Xichuan out. ¡°I¡¯ll talk to her about your matter.¡± ¡°Thank you, Professor.¡± Gu Xichuan left the Su family. Su Nianen focused her energy on the floor and mopped it again and again until Mother Su was done with the shower. The family of three sat in silence. Professor Su¡¯s expression was ugly. He had lived for half his lifespan, but his birthday this year was really special. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mom, Dad. I should have told you earlier.¡± Su Nianen¡¯s eyes reddened as she sobbed and told them everything that had happened recently. When Mother Su heard this, she was so angry that her heart ached. ¡°What did I say? Lin Wenfeng isn¡¯t sincere! But you¡­ He tricked you and you only wanted to be with him. No matter what Mommy told you, you wouldn¡¯t listen. You¡­¡± Mother Su was anxious and angry, and her eyes were red. Professor Su lowered his voice. ¡°Things have already come to this. It¡¯s meaningless to say anything more. Think about what to do.¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t supported our daughter back then, our En wouldn¡¯t have been hurt by Lin Wenfeng.¡± Mother Su couldn¡¯t stand it. If her husband had been on her side back then, this wouldn¡¯t have happened at all. Professor Su ignored Mother Su and asked Su Nianen, ¡°Have you decided?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve decided. Divorce.¡± ¡°Divorce! Divorce him immediately!¡± Mother Su said angrily, ¡°We¡¯ll get back the house and car from the dowry! Without what our Su family gave him, let¡¯s see how arrogant he can be.¡± Her daughter had suffered so much in the Lin family. What was she supposed to do, other than leave immediately? Spend the New Year¡¯s there? ¡°I¡¯ve never thought about the house and car. I just want to draw a clear line with the Lin family as soon as possible. But Lin Wenfeng refused to sign it. He still can¡¯t bear to part with dad¡¯s connections,¡± Su Nianen said in a low voice. ¡°A shameless person really is invincible! That saying is perfect for the Lin family,¡± Mother Su said angrily. Professor Su was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°How about this? If the Lin family doesn¡¯t agree to the divorce, we¡¯ll go through legal procedures.¡± Su Nianen nodded silently. After a long while, she said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for making you worry.¡± Mother Su felt a lump in her throat. She felt even more indignant for her daughter after what had happened with Mother Lin. Her daughter, whom she had doted on since she was young, had actually suffered that much in someone else¡¯s house. Mother Su wiped her tears. ¡°If you¡¯ve been wronged, just come home. No matter how old you are, you¡¯re still my child.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Su Nianen had thousands of words to say, but they all converged into one word. She kept her head lowered as tears streamed down her face. Professor Su didn¡¯t forget Gu Xichuan¡¯s instructions and broke the silence. ¡°The Xichuan family¡¯s child¡­ His intelligence development is slow. If you can find time, do him a favor.¡± For this visit, Gu Xichuan had donated a technology building to the school. Whether it was for public or private reasons, Professor Su had to take it to heart. Su Nianen didn¡¯t respond. She couldn¡¯t even take care of herself, how could she have the energy to care about others? ¡°Nianen, do your best if you can, to help Xichuan,¡± Professor Su said. Su Nianen looked up with reddened eyes. ¡°Dad, if I were still working, he could book my classes. But I just want to settle my own matters as soon as possible. With my current mood I just can¡¯t devote myself to work. If I agree now, I¡¯d be irresponsible to the child.¡± In the first place, children like that needed more patience than normal children. She did not have any extra energy now. ¡°En is right. Let her come home and rest first. Look, she¡¯s lost weight.¡± Mother Su¡¯s heart ached. * * * The Su family and the Lin family finally agreed on a time to negotiate. On this day, the Su family arrived at the agreed place early and the Lin family arrived late. The Lin family¡¯s decision was that they would not go along with the divorce. Mother Lin¡¯s attitude today was worlds apart from the attitude she had when she came to cause trouble that day. She apologized over and over again. The Su family watched coldly from the sidelines. Mother Su would rather not stay any longer than she had to. ¡°You must get a divorce. Since we can¡¯t discuss this any longer, let¡¯s meet in court.¡± Lin Wenfeng said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve already consulted a lawyer. You won¡¯t gain anything from filing for a divorce.¡± He said, ¡°I admit that I¡¯ve done something wrong. If we went to court, would Nianen have any evidence? Meanwhile, Nianen broke my head. The hospital¡¯s medical certificate and police records are all ironclad evidence. I can turn it around and say that she abused me. When that happens, Nianen will be at fault, not me.¡± ¡°Lin Wenfeng!¡± Su Nianen slammed the table and stood up. ¡°Are you still a man? Have some shame!¡± When Lin Wenfeng saw that Su Nianen was enraged, he became even calmer. ¡°We¡¯re here to seriously discuss a solution. Nianen, calm down,¡± Lin Wenfeng said. Mother Su pulled her daughter back onto the chair and immediately asked, ¡°What do you want? The house and car you¡¯re using now were all bought by the Su family! I can give you the car, but the house must be returned!¡± ¡°Bah!¡± Mother Lin spat, ¡°You still want a house? Who¡¯s the one who can¡¯t have children? Didn¡¯t our Wenfeng just sleep with another girl? That¡¯s because he¡¯s charming! But your Su Nianen can¡¯t have children, she deserves to die! How can your Su family have the gall to sit here and negotiate with us? What a joke!¡± Chapter 21 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The Su family was so angry that their faces turned green. They were at their breaking point. Su Nianen took out two psychiatric diagnosis papers. ¡°Based on this, I can sue you for spreading rumors and slander. Who did you hire? As long as the police investigate the details of the process, do you think you¡¯d be able to hide it from them?¡± Mother Lin was clearly stunned. She did not expect to be counterattacked. ¡°Go ahead and sue! I want to see who will be more embarrassed then. We don¡¯t have any academic professors in our family.¡± Su Nianen was almost angered to death by her mother-in-law. Because of her father¡¯s identity, she had many scruples. Mother Su gritted her teeth and said, ¡°My daughter is leaving with nothing. If you agree, sign the divorce papers. If you don¡¯t, let¡¯s go ahead and waste more time and money!¡± Seeing that the Su family had lost their patience, Mother Lin could only say, ¡°It¡¯s Su Nianen¡¯s fault in the first place. Who asked her to be a chicken that can¡¯t lay eggs? It¡¯s only right for her to leave with nothing.¡± Mother Su stood up with a whoosh. ¡°Watch your mouth! My daughter can¡¯t hit you, but I can!¡± Mother Lin immediately stood up, her voice a few decibels higher than Mother Su¡¯s. ¡°Hit me? Come on, hit me, hit me here! Your Su family is so amazing. You hit people for no reason. Your daughter broke my son¡¯s head, and as a mother, you still want to hit her mother-in-law! University professors can be lawless and hit whoever they want, I see! Come, hit me. I¡¯m an ordinary person with no power or influence. I¡¯ll let you hit me as you please, and my son will let your daughter abuse him! Hit me, hit me!¡± Mother Lin threw a tantrum and grabbed Mother Su¡¯s hand across the table. Mother Su flung her hand away forcefully, as if Mother Lin were a plague. Su Nianen immediately stood in front of her mother. She was afraid that her mother would be angered and really attack this woman, causing the Lin family to suffer further. ¡°I don¡¯t have a good upbringing. If you want to fight, I¡¯ll do it.¡± Lin Wenfeng also stopped his mother. ¡°Since it¡¯s a negotiation, let¡¯s have a good talk. Don¡¯t fight.¡± Mother Lin shook off Lin Wenfeng. ¡°What¡¯s there to talk about? I¡¯m done!¡± Her mother-in-law waved her hand and left. Lin Wenfeng stood awkwardly on the spot. Facing the Su family¡¯s dark faces, he said that he¡¯d talk to his mother before leaving as well. Su Nianen took a deep breath. She had already seen Lin Wenfeng¡¯s true colors. Today, he was just pushing the limits again. Mother Su had been amiable for decades and rarely got angry with anyone. With such an in-law, her dignity and decency could be torn apart in minutes. She could not help but flare up at her daughter. ¡°This is the good in-law you insisted on marrying!¡± Su Nianen opened her mouth, but tears rolled down her cheeks first. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± She was the one who made her mother lose her bearings. She was the one who made things difficult for her parents and allowed the Su family to be controlled by others. It was clearly Lin Wenfeng¡¯s fault, but their family had no choice but to be led by the nose by that family of ruffians. Mother Su got up and left. She was angry at her daughter, but she was even angrier at herself. Su Nianen cried silently. The sadness in her heart was like a flood that had broken through a dam. She was deep in self-blame and guilt. Lin Wenfeng caught up with Mother Lin and the two of them got into the car together. Mother Lin asked, ¡°Can Su Nianen sue us for defamation?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Lin Wenfeng nodded. In his heart, he did not want to fall out with her. He had never thought of getting a divorce, feeling that there was still room. Mother Lin¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Sigh! We originally had the upper hand, but it was all Feifei¡¯s rotten idea. If not for that thing, we would have taken the initiative!¡± Although they had successfully gotten rid of Su Nianen¡¯s career and were happy for a while, she still had a father who was a professor even without her job. However, the Lin family only had this one chance to negotiate. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll say it again. I¡¯m not really looking to get a divorce!¡± Lin Wenfeng said helplessly. With a dark expression, Mother Lin asked, ¡°You¡¯re not getting a divorce? If you¡¯re not getting a divorce, why don¡¯t you give me a grandson! Su Nianen listened to you in the past, but does she listen now? If you can convince her to let Feifei give birth to a fat kid for me, I¡¯m fine with you not getting a divorce.¡± Lin Wenfeng readily agreed. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go talk to her. Before that, don¡¯t look for Nianen again. And don¡¯t go making any scenes in their house anymore, it looks awful.¡± ¡°What do you mean? If not for your mother, would the Su family take it seriously?¡± Lin Wenfeng was helpless. ¡°I still have to rely on her father to pull strings for me. Mom, can you consider my situation before you do anything? I don¡¯t have any connections right now. How can I achieve anything?¡± Mother Lin immediately nodded. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I won¡¯t meddle anymore, okay?¡± Lin Wenfeng did not say anything. He firmly believed that Su Nianen still loved him. In the past, that woman had fallen out with her family and ran away from home in order to be with him. Because of her persistence, the Su family finally gave in and agreed to them being together. Su Nianen loved him so much. Did she stop loving him just because of Li Feifei? Impossible! Mother Lin was still sighing. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Feifei¡¯s family background is too poor. What a pity.¡± Li Feifei was the Lin family¡¯s neighbor in the countryside. Her family¡¯s situation was much worse than the Lin family¡¯s. Because her family¡¯s conditions were too poor, her tuition fees were funded by Lin Wenfeng and Su Nianen. Lin Wenfeng couldn¡¯t resist Li Feifei¡¯s enthusiasm and made a mistake. After making many mistakes, he became a repeat offender. The initial guilt in his heart faded. He felt that all men were like this, that there was nothing to be surprised about. It was just a fling. Li Feifei was nothing compared to Su Nien. Lin Wenfeng would never divorce Su Nianen because of someone like Li Feifei. Chapter 22 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen sat on the spot for a long time, her eyes unfocused. She saw Gu Xichuan slowly approaching until he sat opposite her. Her eyes that were staring forward fixed themselves on the corner of the table, as if he was blocking her vision. ¡°Miss Su.¡± Gu Xichuan was very polite. ¡°I¡¯m here about my son, Xuanxuan. I¡¯m sorry to disturb you.¡± Su Nianen looked elsewhere and didn¡¯t look at Gu Xichuan. Gu Xichuan had come with sincerity. He probably knew that he hadn¡¯t left a good impression on Su Nianen. However, he had to fight for his son this once. ¡°Teacher Su, you¡¯ve seen Xuanxuan. Compared to normal children, his development is slower. If he meets a good teacher, Xuanxuan still has a chance of becoming a normal person. But if he continues to be delayed like this, Xuanxuan¡¯s life will be ruined.¡± Su Nianen finally looked at Gu Xichuan. Her eyes were calm and she didn¡¯t say anything, as if she was listening to him seriously. Gu Xichuan lowered his voice and posture, almost humbly begging for her help. ¡°Miss Su, I¡¯m sorry for appearing the previous few times and offending you, but please forgive a father¡¯s anxious heart.¡± ¡°I¡¯m one of the main reasons my son has become like this today. If I had discovered it earlier and interfered earlier, it definitely wouldn¡¯t have turned out this way. As his father, I¡¯m really at fault¡­¡± Gu Xichuan took a deep breath. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I know you¡¯ve come into contact with many children with such problems. You¡¯ve seen too many of them, but Xuanxuan is the only one I have. I only hope that he can get better and become a normal person.¡± Su Nianen still did not speak. She was still fiddling with her cell phone. Gu Xichuan felt that he still had a chance if she didn¡¯t chase him away, so he kept talking. ¡°Teacher Su, before Xuanxuan saw you, there was a change of no less than twenty teachers. None of them could change him. But you¡¯re different. The first time he saw you, he spoke. That was the first time Tianxuan spoke. Teacher Su, you gave me and my son hope. I hope you can help my son recover.¡± At this moment, Su Nianen received a message from Lin Wenfeng. ¡®I¡¯ve already discussed it with my mother and we agree to the divorce¡¯. Su Nianen¡¯s eyes instantly regained their brilliance, and they shone very brightly. She looked at it a few times. It was true! ¡°Teacher Su, I beg you to help my son.¡± Su Nianen looked up. ¡°Okay.¡± She thought that this man must be her lucky star. Although the last few times she met him, she was always at her most unlucky moments. Gu Xichuan was stunned and his eyes met hers. ¡°Miss Su¡­ Did you agree to my request?¡± Gu Xichuan couldn¡¯t believe it and asked again. Su Nianen nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll try, but I¡¯m not a god. I can only try my best to help Xuanxuan. I might not be able to make him return to normal.¡± ¡°I believe you.¡± Gu Xichuan¡¯s expression and words were a little intense. He stood up, so excited that he did not know how to express his gratitude. He wiped his hands and offered her a handshake. ¡°Miss Su, I look forward to working with you.¡± Gu Xichuan¡¯s eyes were filled with gratitude. Su Nianen looked at the large palm he extended and hesitated for a moment. Then, she reached out and grabbed it. Gu Xichuan held her hand with both hands. ¡°Thank you!¡± Her hands were delicate and smooth. His hands, however, were thick and dry. Both of them were slightly stunned. Su Nianen immediately pulled her hands away. ¡°I don¡¯t do charity. I told you before that it¡¯s very expensive to hire me,¡± Su Nianen said. ¡°No problem. Name your conditions. I¡¯ve already drafted an employment contract, though you didn¡¯t read it. It¡¯s fine. I can get it for you to take a look now. Or, if you have any special requirements, I¡¯ll accept them now.¡± Gu Xichuan was really a little excited. His tone was slightly anxious. Chapter 23 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen looked at Gu Xichuan. She could understand his uncontrollable excitement. For such a family, life could only continue if there was hope. ¡°I¡¯m different from other rehabilitation teachers. I¡¯m a trainer. Although I also do private training, my salary is double that of a teacher¡¯s. If you¡¯re fine with it, we¡¯ll verbally make an agreement.¡± ¡°No problem. Teacher Su, please state the other conditions.¡± There was a smile in Gu Xichuan¡¯s eyes, and the negative energy in his body dissipated. ¡°I need to know if I¡¯m going to your house or a specific location. I can¡¯t go back to the school, so we can only do house visits,¡± Su Nianen said. Gu Xichuan thought for a moment. ¡°Teacher Su, I don¡¯t understand the curriculum, so I¡¯ll believe in you and leave it to you. As long as Xuanxuan¡¯s recovery is the priority. But Teacher Su, if he only receives just an hour of lessons a day, I¡¯m worried that¡­¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t Xuanxuan go to school? I thought I was just tutoring after school,¡± Su Nianen said. ¡°Xuanxuan has school, but the rehabilitation school requires him to stay in school. It¡¯s too worrying. Besides, he¡¯s not used to school, so I hired the teachers to teach him one-on-one at home.¡± Gu Xichuan¡¯s words made Su Nianen look at him a few times. ¡°At home?¡± Su Nianen had never met such a big shot parent before. Actually, it was the same for the problematic children, they still go to school, though they didn¡¯t concentrate there. This guy hired the teachers back home? How much would that cost? ¡°Yes.¡± Gu Xichuan immediately asked, ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Su Nianen replied, ¡°No, we don¡¯t usually interfere with parents¡¯ decisions, we merely give suggestions.¡± ¡°Teacher Su, what time are you free every day? I¡¯ll pick you up,¡± Gu Xichuan asked. ¡°Anytime. It depends on Xuanxuan.¡± As an unemployed person, she had a lot of time. Gu Xichuan nodded. ¡°Then, let¡¯s communicate further tonight and keep in touch.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Su Nianen left the coffee shop in a relaxed manner. Today was not a good start, but something big was finally about to be completed. Su Nianen walked out of the coffee house. Gu Xichuan¡¯s car was parked by the roadside. ¡°Miss Su, shall I drive you?¡± Gu Xichuan walked up from behind her and opened the car door. Because Su Nianen could finally get rid of that marriage, her mood was much better. She was not as on edge as before. ¡°Thank you.¡± Su Nianen got into the car and glanced at the car logo. ¡°Not a bad car.¡± Su Nianen actually hadn¡¯t paid much attention to Gu Xichuan. Although he seemed elegant, rich people wouldn¡¯t act the way he did. Rich people probably wouldn¡¯t be this easy to talk with. Gu Xichuan drove Su Nianen to her hotel. When they stopped the car, Gu Xichuan couldn¡¯t help asking questions. ¡°Since your family knows about your current situation, why do you not go home and stay there? Aren¡¯t you worried, staying outside all the time?¡± The expression on Su Nianen¡¯s face faded, and the light in her eyes dimmed. Her mother probably did not want to see her. ¡°I¡¯ll go back after I¡¯m done with these matters. A daughter like me¡­¡± She sighed softly, then raised her head and forced a smile. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Gu. I will tailor a course for him based on Xuanxuan¡¯s situation.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait for your call tonight,¡± Gu Xichuan said in a low voice. He watched her get out of the car and enter the hotel. In the car, Su Nianen¡¯s aura was still faintly present. The way she said ¡®a daughter like me¡¯ stayed in his mind. The helplessness and loneliness in those words made his heart ache. She faced those things alone, things that were enough to knock a person down. She was a woman so strong that it made one¡¯s heart ache. Unfortunately, he was an outsider, and he could not interfere in her matters. Chapter 24 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Lin Wenfeng agreed to the divorce, and Su Nianen could finally let her family take a breather. She broke the news to the family that night, then burst into tears alone in the darkened room. Looking at the past, she almost didn¡¯t recognize herself these past few years, especially the two after her marriage. She wanted to rediscover herself again and live her life by herself. After sorting out her emotions, she opened her email and carefully read Gu Tingxuan¡¯s files. She then custom-made a special rehabilitation course for the little guy. Although Gu Xichuan had said that he would listen to her arrangements, she still had some concerns. After all, her class time was not cheap and she was worried about Gu Xichuan¡¯s financial ability. Therefore, she only arranged for one hour a day. She had only interacted with Xuanxuan a few times. The content of the subsequent classes still had to be adjusted after interacting with Xuanxuan. She sent the syllabus to Gu Xichuan and waited for his reply. During this period, she received a message from her university roommate, Wen Xiaoyu. They had a good relationship back when they were in school. However, after graduation, she got married and started to drift apart from her former friends and classmates. Wen Xiaoyu asked her out for a drink. This invitation came quite suddenly. In the past, she would have refused, but today, since she had made up her mind to start over, she should start her own social circle. Su Nianen left after tidying herself up. Wen Xiaoyu was waiting for her at the entrance of the bar. When Su Nianen appeared, Wen Xiaoyu took two steps forward to welcome her. ¡°This is rare, Nianen. I¡¯ve asked you out 800 times, but I actually managed to get you out tonight.¡± Su Nianen smiled apologetically. ¡°I used to be quite busy.¡± ¡°Not busy now?¡± Su Nianen smiled and nodded. ¡°I¡¯m free now.¡± Wen Xiaoyu did not ask further and immediately introduced her to her friends. Su Nianen glanced at them for the first time. They were all fair-skinned and beautiful long-legged beauties. Compared to the few young ladies with heavy makeup, her outfit today was quite plain. The few of them also sized up Su Nianen, but it was only a glance. They nodded politely before entering the bar together. Su Nianen was not used to the noisy environment in the bar. She pressed against the space between her eyebrows. Had she been out of touch with society for too long? Su Nianen was deep in thought and didn¡¯t notice the reactions of the people around her. Seeing that everyone had stood up, she looked over. A few young men came. One of them opened his arms and hugged Wen Xiaoyu, but Wen Xiaoyu¡¯s gaze drifted to the last one. The last one was extremely tall and dressed casually. His noble aura could not be concealed. The person Wen Xiaoyu looked at walked around the scene and looked at Su Nianen. ¡°Miss Su, it seems that Xiaoyu has a lot of connections. She really invited you here.¡± Su Nianen was confused. She subconsciously looked at Wen Xiaoyu and then at Song Beian, who was walking towards her. This outstanding young man was none other than Song Beian, who had given Su Nianen a ride outside the police station that day. There was a reason behind Song Beian¡¯s words. He had been thinking of ways to build a relationship with Su Nianen. The last time they met at the bar, he couldn¡¯t describe his feelings. He just liked it. Song Beian sat down next to Su Nianen. He spread his arms and took up a third of the spacious sofa. It was very obvious that he didn¡¯t want anyone to get close to him. ¡°Su Nianen,¡± Song Beian greeted with a smile. Su Nianen frowned. ¡°What a coincidence.¡± The few beauties who had yet to take their seats sized up Su Nianen again. They came to a realization that this was the type of girl Young Master Song liked. Chapter 25 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Song Beian saw Su Nianen look away after she¡¯d greeted him. It was obvious that she didn¡¯t want to talk to him. Song Beian leaned over again. ¡°Miss Su, what do you want to drink?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to everyone. ¡°Sit, sit, no need to be a stranger.¡± After greeting everyone, he turned to Su Nianen. ¡°Have you thought about what you want to drink, Nianen?¡± The corners of Su Nianen¡¯s mouth twitched. She couldn¡¯t handle people who got overfamiliar with a stranger. ¡°Why don¡¯t I prepare something for you to drink?¡± As soon as Song Beian finished speaking, he called for the waiter who quickly served a few types of wine, fruits, and soda. Su Nianen looked at the unopened wine on the table and felt a headache coming. ¡°Beer will do.¡± Song Beian was holding a glass of vodka when he heard Su Nianen¡¯s words. He put it down and said to the waiter standing by, ¡°A dozen beers.¡± Su Nianen¡¯s eyes widened. Were people in bars all drinking like this nowadays? Song Beian turned around and was overjoyed to see Su Nianen¡¯s gaze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, En? Do you want some food?¡± Su Nianen¡¯s face stiffened. In less than two minutes, the way this fellow addressed her had changed three times. Song Beian¡¯s intimacy not only made Su Nianen feel strange, but the people around him also felt surprised. Everyone¡¯s gazes seemed to fall on Su Nien. The many gazes that Su Nianen received were obviously because of Song Beian¡¯s attention. ¡°We¡¯re not close, are we?¡± Song Beian brushed his hair. ¡°We¡¯ll get to know each other after meeting a few more times.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have to,¡± Su Nianen replied politely. Song Beian smiled and said, ¡°En, you¡¯re brushing me off with that smile, but I like it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Su Nianen was stunned. The smile in Song Beian¡¯s eyes was blinding. He did not avoid Su Nianen¡¯s gaze at all. Su Nianen really didn¡¯t understand. She asked, ¡°Are young people nowadays all so direct and enthusiastic?¡± Was this how things were like? Song Beian laughed out loud. ¡°En, you¡¯re so cute.¡± ¡°??¡± Su Nianen¡¯s face was full of question marks. She subconsciously sized up everyone. Everyone in the circle, regardless of gender, was still looking at her. She turned to Song Beian. ¡°I¡¯m very laughable, aren¡¯t I?¡± She was a little angry for no reason. She stood up, took her clothes, and prepared to leave. Song Beian panicked and quickly reached out to hold her back. She turned back, her gaze falling to his hand. Seeing this, Song Beian immediately retracted his hand and stood up. His attitude was much more sincere. ¡°I don¡¯t know how I offended you, but I¡¯m really happy to see you today. Why don¡¯t we go upstairs and sit since it¡¯s too noisy here?¡± Su Nianen frowned. ¡°It¡¯s late, the elderly have to go home and rest. We can¡¯t stay up late. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Song Beian laughed softly. ¡°En, you¡¯re two years younger than me.¡± This guy even knew that? Su Nianen looked up. Questions flashed across her eyes, but she didn¡¯t care and insisted on leaving. Only then did Wen Xiaoyu stand up and say, ¡°Nianen, Master Song just came back from overseas. His way of speaking and making friends is different from how we do it in China. If it makes you uncomfortable, don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Song Beian immediately replied, ¡°Yes, yes. If I said anything rude to you, I apologize. En, I really want to be friends with you.¡± Su Nianen smiled and Wen Xiaoyu pulled her to sit down. ¡°You just got here and you¡¯re leaving, that¡¯s no good.¡± ¡°Sorry¡­¡± ¡°If you¡¯re leaving, what¡¯s the point of us staying? Don¡¯t leave. How about this? I¡¯ll drink on behalf of Young Master Song. You have to give me face, right?¡± As Wen Xiaoyu spoke, she had already poured a glass of strong alcohol. Su Nianen didn¡¯t have time to stop her and she had already drunk it in one gulp. Chapter 26 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Xiaoyu.¡± Su Nianen watched as Wen Xiaoyu drank it all in one gulp. She could only sit back down passively. Song Beian glanced at Wen Xiaoyu indifferently. No one could see his displeasure, as most of them thought that Song Beian should thank Wen Xiaoyu for helping him keep Su Nien. Song Beian didn¡¯t say much after that. Other than the wine, his gaze fell only on Su Nianen. Due to Song Beian¡¯s bad mood, everyone stopped playing as heartily. At one in the morning, everyone said that they were leaving. Su Nianen quickly got up and walked in front with her jacket. She finally understood herself today. She was not meant to come to these sorts of places to play, and she still could not let go. Perhaps she had been hidden away for too long. The moment she was free, she didn¡¯t know where her destination should be. ¡°En.¡± Song Beian strode over and caught up with her easily. ¡°I¡¯ll drive you.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been drinking.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a chauffeur,¡± he said. ¡°Rich,¡± Su Nianen replied calmly. Song Beian stopped in his tracks and tilted his head. He actually did not know if she was teasing him, complimenting him, or¡­ disdaining him. Song Beian strode forward again and walked beside Su Nianen. Su Nianen thought that it sure was good to have long legs. He could easily catch up to her. ¡°Did you drive here?¡± Song Beian asked. ¡°No car,¡± Su Nianen said. ¡°Perfect. I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡± Song Beian¡¯s tone immediately perked up. ¡°En, give me a chance to be a gentleman?¡± Su Nianen did not respond, so Song Beian continued to persuade her. ¡°En. Look at how late it is, it¡¯s dangerous to take a taxi. I¡¯ll drive you. It¡¯s decided.¡± Su Nianen stopped a car by the roadside. Song Beian stopped trying to persuade her and stood beside her. After saying goodbye to her friends, Wen Xiaoyu quickly walked towards Su Nianen. ¡°Nianen.¡± As she walked closer, the first person she looked at was Song Beian. After meeting Song Beian¡¯s eyes, she called out, ¡°Young Master Song, let me send her off.¡± Su Nianen felt that she was the one who was out of touch. ¡°No, there¡¯s a taxi.¡± She quickly got into the taxi, but Song Beian strode forward and squeezed in as well. Su Nianen turned with a shocked expression. ¡°Send this lady home first, then send me home,¡± Song Beian said. The chauffeur glanced at the backseat and the car started moving. Su Nianen was a little speechless. Song Beian said to himself, ¡°Last time, I brought you along. You can bring me along this time.¡± Su Nianen moved to the side. The space in the car was originally fine, but once Song Beian squeezed in, it became narrow. She glanced sideways. Song Beian had nowhere to place his long legs. They were ridiculously stuck together. It was not appropriate to spread them on both sides, so he could only bend down. ¡°It must be hard on you to sit in this car like this, Young Master Song.¡± Her teasing made Song Beian instantly happy. ¡°No, no, not at all. With you by my side, no matter how bitter it is, it¡¯s still sweet.¡± Su Nianen couldn¡¯t explain where his friendliness came from, and she didn¡¯t want to think too much. It was best to speak less. When the car arrived at the hotel, Su Nianen got out of the car, followed by Song Beian. ¡°En, why are you staying in a hotel?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a house,¡± Su Nianen answered simply. Song Beian was stunned. ¡°This couldn¡¯t be¡­ an invitation, could it?¡± He looked at her happily, but Su Nianen pretended not to see it. ¡°You should know that I¡¯m married, right?¡± Su Nianen asked. ¡°Is it appropriate to make such a joke?¡± ¡°I know. You beat up your ex-husband at the bar. I¡¯ll wait for you to regain your freedom.¡± Song Beian and Su Nianen looked at each other. Su Nianen was a little disgusted by his attitude. ¡°Do I look like such a casual person to you?¡± Song Beian was confused. Su Nianen continued, ¡°We¡¯re not in the same world. I won¡¯t play with you. Go find some other beautiful lady.¡± Chapter 27 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Song Beian tugged at Su Nianen¡¯s shirt and shook it gently. ¡°No way.¡± This sudden playfulness frightened Su Nianen so much that she swung her hand to dodge. Song Beian burst into laughter when he saw Su Nianen run into the hotel as if she was being chased down. He realized how cute she was. Su Nianen ran into the hotel and looked back from time to time. Seeing that no one was chasing after her, she finally slowed down. ¡°Miss Su.¡± There was a human wall in front of her. Su Nianen almost bumped into him. ¡°Gu Xichuan?¡± Gu Xichuan quickly steadied her and subconsciously looked behind her. There was nothing unusual. ¡°Is he pestering you again?¡± Gu Xichuan asked with concern. He? ¡°Who?¡± Su Nianen didn¡¯t react for a moment. Lin Wenfeng? ¡°No, no.¡± She stepped back, pulling away, surprised again. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± She looked around. ¡°You¡¯re not here for me, are you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to deliver the contract.¡± As Gu Xichuan spoke, he looked around. ¡°It¡¯s not really appropriate to go to your room. Let¡¯s talk in the lobby.¡± Su Nianen looked up subconsciously. This man¡­ was so thoughtful. ¡°Sure.¡± The two of them sat down in the lounge area in the lobby. Gu Xichuan took out the contract and handed it to Su Nien. ¡°Take a look. I hope you can be Xuanxuan¡¯s long-term teacher, so I¡¯ve prepared a long-term contract.¡± As he spoke, Su Nianen smelled alcohol. ¡°Have you been drinking?¡± Gu Xichuan was stunned by her question. His deep eyes landed on her face. She was very different today. It was different from the previous few times he had seen her. Today, she had obviously dressed up carefully. He had thought that she was with Lin Wenfeng when he saw her rushing in. But at this moment, he denied the speculation. Who did she meet? Who was worth her effort? Gu Xichuan felt a little uncomfortable. ¡°I had a social engagement today.¡± He had actually changed his clothes, but she could still smell the alcohol. ¡°That¡¯s why I came to look for you so late into the night.¡± ¡°No need to rush. You could have given it to me tomorrow.¡± There was no need to make a special trip in the middle of the night. Gu Xichuan replied calmly, ¡°I am in a rush.¡± He was afraid that after tonight, she would change her mind again. ¡°Hm?¡± Su Nianen tilted her head. Gu Xichuan knew that her gaze was on him and continued to feel strange. ¡°I¡¯m worried that things will change. Have you finished reading it, Miss Su?¡± Only then did Su Nianen read it carefully. The contents of the agreement were a few simple lines, and everything was too lenient in her favor. After reading it, she could only think that she¡¯d received a very lucky offer. ¡°Isn¡¯t this too¡­ extravagant?¡± Her hourly salary was 1,000 yuan, and her class time was one and a half hours. She could choose the time and place. He even provided bonuses, New Year¡¯s gifts, travel, and various other benefits. She felt that she had gained a huge advantage and repeatedly confirmed it. ¡°I think it¡¯s worth it for you to teach my son,¡± Gu Xichuan said seriously. Su Nianen looked at Gu Xichuan and didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°I¡­ will do my best to help Xuanxuan.¡± Gu Xichuan handed the pen to Su Nien. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you in the future, Miss Su. I¡¯ll pick you up here at ten tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Su Nianen nodded. After signing her name, she was once more a useful person, and her time had meaning again. The twenty-four hours in her day would no longer be wasted completely. The next day, Gu Xichuan personally came to pick up Su Nianen. When Su Nianen got into the car, she glanced at the logo. She wondered if he¡¯d changed his car. Gu Xichuan didn¡¯t drive this car back then. It seemed his financial ability wasn¡¯t bad. Chapter 28 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen paid attention to the financial ability of the parents of her students, but not because she was materialistic. If a child with these kinds of problems had parents with poor financial conditions, he or she might not be able to continue these studies until the end. She had encountered too many such cases, where there were clearly great improvements with the kid, only to be interrupted halfway because the parents could not afford further teaching. After the child dropped out of school, he or she would be completely ruined. ¡°Xuanxuan should be very happy to see you,¡± Gu Xichuan said as he drove steadily. Su Nianen smiled, hoping to get along with the child. They stopped at a red light. Gu Xichuan quickly sized up Su Nianen¡¯s current outfit when she turned to look out the window and couldn¡¯t notice his gaze. It was a very refreshing and comfortable color combination. She was not wearing any jewelry and had on some light makeup. This reminded him of last night, making him wonder who she had met last night. Su Nianen turned around. ¡°The light is green.¡± Gu Xichuan started the car quietly and asked casually, ¡°Miss Su, why did you choose to work in this industry? It¡¯s rare to see a young lady like you in this field.¡± Young¡­ That was true. She was very young, not even twenty-five years old. Yet, two years of marriage had numbed her. ¡°I¡¯m an ordinary person. I can¡¯t save the world, but I can save a child¡¯s life. Isn¡¯t that ordinary and great at the same time?¡± When she said this, her eyes shone with a light that had never been seen before. Gu Xichuan was touched. ¡°Yes, your profession is indeed ordinary and great.¡± The entire journey was a silent one. Gu Xichuan drove slowly, and he enjoyed the space with her for some reason. Su Nianen hadn¡¯t noticed when the car drove into the neighborhood, but when they entered through the villa gate, she was stunned. It was a European style villa, with a big courtyard. Su Nianen looked outside in shock. There were two rows of people standing at the entrance of the villa, waiting to welcome someone. At this moment, Gu Xichuan had already gotten out of the car and opened the door for her. ¡°Miss Su, we¡¯re here.¡± Su Nianen got out of the car, unexpectedly feeling a lack of self-confidence. She looked up at the luxurious villa in front of her and asked a rather silly question. ¡°Did you buy this, or is it rented?¡± Gu Xichuan smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s custom built.¡± Su Nianen¡¯s knees almost went weak. ¡°Sorry, big boss.¡± To think that she kept trying to tell him how she was quite expensive, and how she recommended that he send Xuanxuan to school. She even disdained him for hiring the teachers back home. She was too kind and naive! She never expected to meet such a rich person. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Gu Xichuan smiled, probably thinking that her reaction was quite cute. Su Nianen sighed. ¡°I thought your financial situation was normal. Sorry for being rude. I¡¯ve been too snobbish and stuck-up, it¡¯s my bad for underestimating you.¡± ¡°Miss Su, don¡¯t belittle yourself. I believe in your ability.¡± ¡°Thank you. I will do my best to help Xuanxuan.¡± Su Nianen followed beside Gu Xichuan. When they walked to the entrance of the villa, Gu Xichuan introduced her to everyone. ¡°This is Teacher Su Nianen. Teachers, do learn from Teacher Su. Her classes will be the main focus of Xuanxuan¡¯s education,¡± Gu Xichuan said. Su Nianen nodded at everyone and followed Gu Xichuan into the villa. The group of people behind them stood still because Sun Mo¡¯er did not move. ¡°Miss Sun, Teacher Su seems to be quite special.¡± The master had personally brought someone back. Such treatment was unprecedented. Sun Mo¡¯er hid the dissatisfaction in her eyes and smiled magnanimously. ¡°It¡¯s all for Xuanxuan. Brother-in-law has put in a lot of effort.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er entered the hall, but Gu Xichuan actually brought Su Nianen upstairs. Su Nianen was also confused by Gu Xichuan¡¯s actions. She didn¡¯t understand why Gu Xichuan would bring her around the villa. Chapter 29 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Perhaps¡­ Su Nianen thought that Gu Xichuan was showing off by showing her around the villa. Fortunately, she was in a calm state of mind. Otherwise, she¡¯d either start getting bitter about this wealth or she¡¯d start currying favor with him. Rich! Along the way, other than these two words, there was nothing else that came to her mind. When Gu Xichuan and Su Nianen returned to the hall, Sun Mo¡¯er had already seen the opportunity and quickly moved closer to the little guy. ¡°Xuanxuan, come, let auntie give you some fruit paste. I just made this¡­¡± ¡°Ah¡ª¡± Just as Sun Mo¡¯er approached, the little guy suddenly screamed and hid in a corner of the sofa, shrinking into a small ball. Su Nianen quickly walked over but was stopped by Sun Mo¡¯er. ¡°Don¡¯t get close to him, he¡¯s frustrated right now. No one can get close to him.¡± Su Nianen glanced at the food in Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s bowl. ¡°This is?¡± ¡°Fruit paste. The doctor said that the vitamins consumed every day from vegetables and fruits cannot be replaced by other health supplements.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xichuan came over to add to that. ¡°I¡¯m in charge of Xuanxuan¡¯s food every day. I have to make these myself, and I¡¯m worried about letting the servants make them. The imported food for Xuanxuan has to be strictly checked under the guidance of the nutritionist.¡± Su Nianen looked at the fruit paste again. She didn¡¯t know who suggested this, but it wasn¡¯t quite the right thing to do. ¡°Xuanxuan is already a four or five-year-old, not a one-year-old child. He already has teeth and can chew on his own. He doesn¡¯t need to do this through fruit paste anymore.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er was stunned. She looked straight at Su Nianen. Was she questioning her? ¡°Teacher Su, it¡¯s your first day here. You don¡¯t understand our Xuanxuan¡¯s situation. I¡¯m his aunt, could I ever bring myself to harm him?¡± Su Nianen was about to take a step forward, but when she heard Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s words, she turned back. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. That¡¯s not what I meant. For Xuanxuan¡¯s sake, you can give him fruits directly in the future. There¡¯s no need to use food paste.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er immediately turned to Gu Xichuan, her tone filled with grievance. ¡°Brother-in-law, this teacher might be an expert in Xuanxuan¡¯s illness, but I¡¯m the expert in taking care of Xuanxuan¡¯s life. I¡¯m the one who really cares about him. Teacher Su doesn¡¯t know Xuanxuan¡¯s situation, but I understand very well. I know best how he should eat this fruit.¡± Su Nianen understood what she meant. She was indeed being nosy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. If you think it¡¯s suitable, it¡¯s fine.¡± Su Nianen walked towards the little guy, but did not disturb him as he hid in the corner. Instead, she gently sat on the sofa beside him. Gu Xichuan said, ¡°Let¡¯s follow Teacher Su¡¯s suggestion for the fruit. She¡¯s a professional.¡± ¡°Brother-in-law, Xuanxuan can¡¯t eat cut pieces of fruit. He choked on some before. He¡¯s different from normal children, we have to be especially careful when it comes to his food.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er was a little anxious and her words were sincere. ¡°Would I ever harm Xuanxuan? Brother-in-law, Xuanxuan¡¯s safety is my heart¡¯s top concern.¡± Gu Xichuan¡¯s tone was cold. ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± ¡°Brother-in-law?¡± Sun Mo¡¯er looked hurt. Gu Xichuan turned sideways and asked the servants beside him, ¡°Do you understand?¡± ¡°Understood, sir.¡± Gu Xichuan didn¡¯t say anything else and sat down on the other side of the sofa. He looked at Xuanxuan and then at the time. Ten o¡¯clock sharp. Su Nianen had already started class. While they were talking, she carried Xuanxuan to the sofa and sat opposite him. ¡°Cutie pie, I¡¯ll teach you a move today. We just need to remember this move.¡± Gu Tingxuan wasn¡¯t afraid of Su Nianen, but he didn¡¯t give her any response. His gaze remained the same. Chapter 30 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen reached out to shake Gu Tingxuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Teacher Su!¡± Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s sudden shout startled everyone. Naturally, it also shocked the little guy. The little guy stared blankly at Su Nianen¡¯s hand while the others looked at Sun Mo¡¯er. Su Nianen turned her head. ¡°Miss¡­ Um, Xuanxuan¡¯s aunt, can you not suddenly yell like that?¡± Sun Mo¡¯er only looked at Gu Tingxuan. She was stunned and felt that Gu Xichuan¡¯s gaze seemed to be sharply aimed at her. She immediately felt the pressure multiply. She knew that Gu Xichuan was waiting for a reasonable reason. ¡°Teacher Su, Xuanxuan doesn¡¯t like others touching him. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t have any physical contact with him since you¡¯ve just arrived. Once you anger him, none of us can coax him.¡± An angry and agitated Gu Tingxuan was akin to a demon. It didn¡¯t matter if he hurt the adults, but the key was that he would hurt himself. He was a fool to begin with. He did not know how to feel pain when he was injured. The more painful it was, the more he hurt himself. Once he had new injuries, it would directly be tied to their responsibility as guardians. Su Nianen also knew that the boy was probably unafraid of her. Even now, she did not understand why the boy was willing to let her get close to him. The fact that she could get close, however, was a direct slap to the face for this auntie. Su Nianen nodded gently. ¡°Thank you for the reminder.¡± Everyone was curious as to how Su Nianen would teach her classes. They were all watching. Gu Xichuan asked the servants to continue with their own work, leaving only the rehabilitation teachers to learn from her. The few teachers felt that there was nothing special about Su Nianen, as the content she was teaching was even simpler than theirs. They watched with slightly mocking eyes. About ten minutes later, Su Nianen went to hold the little guy¡¯s hand. The little guy did not retreat and was willing to let her hold his hand. At that moment, Su Nianen¡¯s heart surged. She knew it, this child could still be saved! Su Nianen sat beside the little guy and was leaning very close to him. The little guy was flipping through a picture book by himself, and Su Nianen immediately took the book and read it to the little guy. According to the information, this child¡¯s intelligence was about half a year old to one year old. He could make a few simple sounds but could not speak yet. Su Nianen accompanied the little guy and ¡®played¡¯ with him for an hour and a half. After the class ended, she prepared to leave. Gu Xichuan quickly urged her to stay. ¡°You could stay for dinner.¡± ¡°?¡± Su Nianen¡¯s face was full of question marks, and she looked slightly embarrassed. ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Teacher Su, I believe in your teaching. I¡¯m relieved to leave Xuanxuan to you,¡± Gu Xichuan said. Su Nianen smiled. ¡°Teaching Xuanxuan isn¡¯t easy. I¡¯ll do my best.¡± ¡°Cutie pie, cutie pie, cutie pie¡­¡± Xuanxuan was flipping through the book and kept saying these two words. The people in the hall heard it and almost all ran over to watch. ¡°Young Master Xuan is talking! He¡¯s really talking!¡± ¡°Amazing, he¡¯s really talking!¡± Su Nianen turned around. Xuanxuan was playing quite well by himself. No one disturbed him, and his quiet appearance was no different than that of a normal child¡¯s. Gu Xichuan thanked her in a low voice. Su Nianen smiled and left. Sun Mo¡¯er looked at Gu Xichuan and Su Nianen¡¯s backs and was in a bad mood. ¡°Miss Sun, that Teacher Su is really impressive. She just arrived and the young master is already talking.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er turned around. ¡°Didn¡¯t he already know how to do it? What¡¯s there to make a fuss about? She didn¡¯t even teach him much, unlike Teacher Qi¡¯s classes.¡± Teacher Qi also added, ¡°As an industry professional myself, the content Teacher Su prepared is indeed relatively simple.¡± No one dared to say anything more. The master did not come back often, so this auntie was in charge of the house for the time being. Chapter 31 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At night. Gu Tingxuan suddenly acted up, causing Gu Xichuan to rush back after getting the call. When Gu Xichuan arrived at Shanshui Villa, he saw Sun Mo¡¯er hugging Gu Tingxuan with red and watery eyes. Gu Xichuan¡¯s heart raced when he saw that his son was motionless. He walked towards Gu Tingxuan step by step. Every step was like stepping on steel needles. It was difficult and dull, as if he had exhausted all his strength. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Xuanxuan?¡± Gu Xichuan squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. His gaze was terrifyingly cold. Sun Mo¡¯er only cried in the phone call. She had cried her heart out and asked him to come back quickly, saying that Xuanxuan was about to die. Everyone in the room stood silently at the side, not daring to say a word. Sun Mo¡¯er raised her teary eyes and looked at Gu Xichuan pitifully. ¡°Brother-in-law.¡± She cried out pitifully with teary eyes, her voice full of sorrow. But the man in front of her was tough as iron! His heart filled with concern for his son, he carried Gu Tingxuan away. Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s hands were emptied, and Gu Tingxuan had already been taken away. She had posed for a long time, dragging a room full of people along to pose together, and yet¡­ In the end, Gu Xichuan didn¡¯t even properly look at her?! ¡°Brother-in-law, wait for me!¡± Sun Mo¡¯er quickly chased after him, and the group of people behind her heaved a breath in relief. ¡°Why did Miss Sun have to put on makeup before calling him home?¡± ¡°Because she really cares about that, obviously!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± A life was at stake. Not forgetting that there were surveillance cameras everywhere in this villa, they only whispered a few words to each other but did not dare discuss further. Sun Mo¡¯er sat beside Gu Xichuan in fear. Gu Xichuan¡¯s face was ashen and his aura was cold, his entire body exuding the message that no one should approach him. ¡°Brother-in-law, will Xuanxuan be alright?¡± After Sun Mo¡¯er spoke, Gu Xichuan¡¯s expression turned even uglier. ¡°Brother-in-law¡­¡± The chauffeur could not help but say, ¡°Miss Sun, the young master was already unconscious. Why didn¡¯t you call an ambulance or a family doctor?¡± The child was already in such a state, but she still called to cry about it, insisting that Mr. Gu come back. With this amount of time, the child could have been treated long ago. Sun Mo¡¯er paused and opened her mouth slightly. In the next second, tears rolled down her face. ¡°At first, Xuanxuan was fine. Half an hour after dinner, we showered him like we always do, we read him stories, and gave him classes. But today, ever since Teacher Su left, Xuanxuan began to act strangely. Especially during class at night, he suddenly lost control. It wasn¡¯t easy for us to keep Xuanxuan from hurting himself, but when we realized that his skin was red, he started to cough. I was so frightened that I called Brother-in-law¡­¡± Sun Mo¡¯er cried as she spoke, repeatedly emphasizing one thing. ¡°Xuanxuan wasn¡¯t like this in the past. He never acted up at night. After Teacher Su came today¡­¡± Sun Mo¡¯er realized that she had said something wrong and immediately corrected herself. ¡°It¡¯s not related to Teacher Su. Perhaps he saw a stranger today and it agitated Xuanxuan. The doctor said before that a child like Xuanxuan is very sensitive, he¡¯s afraid of strangers and is shy with strangers.¡± ¡°Brother-in-law¡­¡± Sun Mo¡¯er was crying like a pretty flower bathed in rain droplets. It had to be said that she was really beautiful. However, Gu Xichuan didn¡¯t look at her from the beginning to the end. The car arrived at the hospital. Gu Xichuan carried the child and went straight to the emergency department. While Gu Tingxuan was being treated, Gu Xichuan took the time to call Su Nianen. When Sun Mo¡¯er heard this, she asked softly, ¡°Brother-in-law, Xuanxuan is sick. Why are you asking Teacher Su to come?¡± That was an outsider! Gu Xichuan glanced at her coldly. ¡°Mo¡¯er, the only thing you need to do is to take good care of Xuanxuan.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er nodded, her eyes quickly turning red again. Chapter 32 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen rushed to the hospital. At this time, Xuanxuan already had the IV drip attached. Su Nianen was looking around everywhere for someone. Just as she was about to rush into a ward, Gu Xichuan came out, as if he¡¯d seen her from far away already. He held her shoulder accurately and stopped her. ¡°Xuanxuan is awake.¡± Su Nianen looked up at the tall human tower in front of her. In her line of sight, she could not actually see his facial features at such a close distance. She could only see his chin and his moving Adam¡¯s apple. ¡°Cutie pie is awake?¡± Su Nianen asked. ¡°He¡¯s awake.¡± Gu Xichuan held her shoulders and guided Su Nianen into the corridor, but he still did not let go. Su Nianen heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°He was fine during the day. Why is he suddenly sick again?¡± ¡°He¡¯s allergic to kiwis,¡± Gu Xichuan replied. He looked down and saw her fair and exquisite face. The moment he stepped into the hospital, Gu Xichuan actually felt like he wanted to rely on someone for the first time. Even someone as strong as him was actually afraid when facing the life and death of his child. He thought that if she was here, he would still be a strong person with no weaknesses. ¡°Kiwi allergy?¡± Su Nianen said in a low voice, ¡°Did you never notice it before?¡± ¡°No.¡± Gu Xichuan¡¯s voice was very low. He was so close to her that he could hear his own heart beating like a drum. This was abnormal, something that was not supposed to be happening. However, this was the truth. Su Nianen nodded. Allergies were serious, and the kid¡¯s life would be in danger if he had missed the chance to go to the hospital. ¡°It¡¯s good that he¡¯s fine and awake now. Tell your family to be more careful in the future,¡± Su Nianen said. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll tell them immediately,¡± Gu Xichuan said. Su Nianen couldn¡¯t help but look up. This person was too tall, and she felt like she couldn¡¯t see the top. It was a little awkward, so she looked away. ¡°Brother-in-law.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s sorrowful voice sounded beside him. Su Nianen and Gu Xichuan looked over at the same time. Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s gaze landed on Gu Xichuan¡¯s hand. Su Nianen followed Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s gaze and realized that Gu Xichuan was still holding her shoulders! She pushed Gu Xichuan away immediately and distanced herself. It was purely an accident! She hoped that she wouldn¡¯t misunderstand. Gu Xichuan returned to his usual coldness. Sun Mo¡¯er quickly glanced at Su Nianen and greeted her softly. ¡°Teacher Su, you¡¯re here.¡± Su Nianen felt even more awkward, but since she greeted her, she had to smile and nod. Sun Mo¡¯er wasn¡¯t planning to chat with Su Nien. Her eyes were on Gu Xichuan. ¡°Brother-in-law, Xuanxuan is awake. He probably misses you. You should see him.¡± Gu Xichuan turned to Su Nianen. ¡°Miss Su, now that you¡¯re here, can you see Xuanxuan?¡± Gu Xichuan was always helping his son fight for benefits. He was sure that his son liked Su Nianen. ¡°Okay.¡± Su Nianen was sensitive and felt the aunt¡¯s resistance, but since she was already here, she had to see the child. Sun Mo¡¯er followed Gu Xichuan closely while Su Nianen followed behind Sun Mo¡¯er. ¡°Ah, Xuanxuan! Stop, stop!¡± Sun Mo¡¯er immediately shouted. Gu Tingxuan was awake, but he was actually pulling the needle of the IV drip! During the short time Sun Mo¡¯er was away, the little guy had bloodied the back of his hand. Su Nianen quickly rang the nurse¡¯s bell while stopping Sun Mo¡¯er from approaching Gu Tingxuan. ¡°Calm down. Your emotional ups and downs will scare him.¡± This lady screamed quite a lot. Sun Mo¡¯er was directly blocked behind Gu Xichuan. The nurses quickly ran over. The few of them changed Xuanxuan¡¯s needle and set it up again. Chapter 33 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Cutie pie, cutie pie¡­¡± As the nurses changed the needle and inserted it again, the little guy was smiling and calling out to Su Nianen the whole time. Indeed, he was looking at Su Nianen. He recognized Su Nianen. Su Nianen looked at the little guy and suddenly felt tears well up in her eyes. She had only taught this kid for one day, yet he recognized her already. The little guy was still shouting ¡®cutie pie¡¯ and smiling. Su Nianen was moved to tears. When she turned her head to secretly wipe her tears, she caught a glimpse of Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s disgusted gaze. She did not take it to heart. The other party was probably disgusted with her, and naturally, it had nothing to do with the child. Sun Mo¡¯er watched from behind expressionlessly. She thought to herself that the kid was a fool. It didn¡¯t matter how much she served him, he would always be a fool. Su Nianen reached out and held the little guy¡¯s other hand. Her gaze became even gentler. She was infertile, but she liked children, especially such beautiful children. Who wouldn¡¯t? Gu Xichuan suddenly strode out of the ward. He was calming himself down. His son recognized Su Nianen. How much progress was this? Gu Xichuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he cried tears of joy. Sun Mo¡¯er immediately followed him out and positioned herself before Gu Xichuan, tears streaming down her face. ¡°Brother-in-law, did you hear that? Xuanxuan was talking. He¡¯s been talking the whole time.¡± Gu Xichuan said, ¡°He¡¯s calling her.¡± He knew that his son was calling Su Nianen. Sun Mo¡¯er was overjoyed. Gu Xichuan was finally willing to communicate with her! ¡°Brother-in-law, in the future, I will definitely strictly control Xuanxuan¡¯s diet. Xuanxuan is allergic to kiwis, but no one discovered it before, that¡¯s unforgivable! Brother-in-law, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely take good care of Xuanxuan.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard,¡± Gu Xichuan said calmly. ¡°Go back first.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Sun Mo¡¯er subconsciously glanced at Su Nianen in the ward. If he wanted her to leave, did that mean he wanted Su Nianen to stay? ¡°Brother-in-law, I¡¯d better stay and take care of Xuanxuan. In the past, I was the one who accompanied him every night. Today, in this unfamiliar environment in the hospital, he won¡¯t feel a sense of security if I¡¯m not around. Just let me stay and take care of Xuanxuan.¡± Gu Xichuan hesitated. A sense of security? He quickly glanced into the ward. Yes, his son had probably found a sense of security with Su Nianen. ¡°Teacher Su is an outsider after all. We can¡¯t possibly trouble Teacher Su to take care of Xuanxuan.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er said. Gu Xichuan silently agreed to Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s suggestion. She was overjoyed. Su Nianen spent some time alone with Gu Tingxuan. She placed Gu Tingxuan¡¯s hand on her own again and again. After countless times, Su Nianen reached out to Gu Tingxuan and looked at him expectantly. ¡°Cutie pie, look at me. Look at me. Give Teacher Su your hand.¡± Su Nianen extended his hand, and Gu Tingxuan looked at her. Soon, his eyes either lost focus, or he looked elsewhere. ¡°Cutie pie, cutie pie?¡± Su Nianen called out twice more, ¡°Cutie pie Xuanxuan?¡± ¡°Cutie pie, cutie pie.¡± The little guy also began to shout along with Su Nianen, but he seemed to only know these two words. Su Nianen retracted her hand and sighed slightly. But there was no sense of defeat. She believed that the child would get better. Gu Xichuan entered the ward. Su Nianen retracted her hand and turned to look at Gu Xichuan, not noticing the boy trying to raise his hand. ¡°Miss Su, I¡¯ll send you back,¡± Gu Xichuan said. Su Nianen smiled. ¡°It¡¯s no problem, I¡¯ll take a taxi myself.¡± ¡°I¡¯m free.¡± ¡°You should spend more time with Xuanxuan,¡± Su Nianen refused. ¡°Teacher Su, will you come tomorrow? Xuanxuan has class in the morning,¡± Gu Xichuan said hurriedly. Su Nianen nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll come.¡± Chapter 34 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After Su Nianen lost her job, she only had this one class with Xuanxuan, an hour and a half long. Therefore, she was very free and woke up early, though she didn¡¯t feel too great about going to the hospital. Xuanxuan¡¯s auntie¡¯s resistance to her was too obvious. She decided to let her have her way and avoided her a little. At the hospital. Gu Xichuan had returned to the hospital from the company at the same time. The two of them entered the ward one after another. ¡°Teacher Su, you¡¯re here.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s attitude towards Su Nianen wasn¡¯t exactly cordial, but it wasn¡¯t too distant either. She was rather polite. As soon as Su Nianen sat down, Sun Mo¡¯er¡¯s high-pitched tone sounded. ¡°Brother-in-law, you¡¯re here.¡± Su Nianen took a quick look and turned around with a smile. Miss Sun¡¯s thoughts were too obvious. She was suddenly envious of how Sun Mo¡¯er had feelings for someone. That feeling must be quite nice. ¡°Cutie pie.¡± Su Nianen met Gu Tingxuan¡¯s eyes as he spoke. This time, Gu Tingxuan was very clear-headed, and it was without doubt that he was calling Su Nianen. ¡°Did you sleep well, cutie pie?¡± Su Nianen softly stroked Gu Tingxuan¡¯s forehead, her movements very gentle. In response, the little guy subconsciously rubbed against her palm, probably feeling quite comfortable. These reactions proved that there was a possibility of the child returning to normal. He still had his senses. Su Nianen¡¯s gaze landed on the back of the little guy¡¯s hand. There was already a bruise on the spot where he had torn the IV drip last night. It was a little scary. Did this child not feel pain? Gu Xichuan had already walked in and sat opposite Su Nianen. His gaze landed on Su Nianen. ¡°Teacher Su, you¡¯re really punctual. I was even thinking of picking you up.¡± ¡°Not at all, Mr. Gu. This is my job,¡± Su Nianen said in a businesslike manner. Gu Xichuan was sensitive to Su Nianen¡¯s politeness. For a moment, he could not understand this woman. Her tone last night was much better than this. The little guy refused to cooperate and kept squirming. Su Nianen was a little helpless as Gu Xichuan spoke for his son. ¡°Xuanxuan¡¯s attention is not as focused as other children¡¯s. Sorry for troubling you, Teacher Su.¡± Su Nianen glanced at Gu Xichuan but didn¡¯t respond. When Sun Mo¡¯er saw that Su Nian¡¯en was not as energetic as yesterday, her mood instantly improved. She immediately stepped forward to speak up for the little guy. ¡°Teacher Su, you must be more patient with Xuanxuan. After all, his situation is special. Our Xuanxuan is actually quite obedient.¡± Su Nianen smiled. ¡°Okay.¡± She touched the little guy¡¯s forehead, palm, and back. The temperature was normal, but¡­ ¡°How does he go to the bathroom? How long has it been since he went to the toilet?¡± Sun Mo¡¯er was stunned by the question. ¡°Ah?¡± How would she know? Su Nianen¡¯s eyes were calm, but Sun Mo¡¯er panicked and stammered, unable to answer. Su Nianen really didn¡¯t want to provoke any conflict, but this concerned the little guy. She had to ask. ¡°Mr. Gu, were you the one who accompanied him last night?¡± Su Nianen asked Gu Xichuan. ¡°Xuanxuan¡¯s clothes are wet.¡± Gu Xichuan¡¯s face darkened. He immediately got up and touched Xuanxuan¡¯s body. It was soaked! The clothes, as well as the bed! Gu Xichuan immediately carried Xuanxuan off the bed. Su Nianen immediately helped remove the IV drip to prevent the pressure from pushing the blood back. ¡°Does he have any clothes to change into? Change him into dry clothes first, or he¡¯ll catch a cold if this continues.¡± Gu Xichuan nodded and looked at Sun Mo¡¯er. ¡°Where are the clothes?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I specially got someone to send it over.¡± Sun Mo¡¯er immediately took out a set of clothes while trembling. Gu Xichuan changed the boy¡¯s clothes with a dark expression. The boy was probably in a good mood. He was obedient the entire time and did not cry. The cold aura around Gu Xichuan made Su Nianen a little afraid. She didn¡¯t dare to look at him. Chapter 35 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Sun Mo¡¯er finally stepped forward and said in a silent voice, ¡°Brother-in-law, let me do it.¡± Gu Xichuan moved aside. He was indeed not good at it. Sun Mo¡¯er took off Gu Tingxuan¡¯s clothes and put on fresh ones. Then, she took off his pants and pulled on a diaper before putting new pants on him. Su Nianen sighed silently. The kid was already four or five years old, yet he was still wearing diapers. While Su Nianen waited quietly, Lin Wenfeng made a few consecutive calls, but she cut them off. Not long after, Lin Wenfeng sent a message: ¡®I¡¯ve given it a lot of thought,¡¯ he said. ¡®I still can¡¯t let you go. I don¡¯t want a divorce.¡¯ Su Nianen took a deep breath as all her emotions surged in her heart. Sun Mo¡¯er had already freshened up the little guy and carefully stood to the side. Su Nianen suppressed her emotions and began interacting with the little guy. Gu Xichuan walked out of the ward and waited for Su Nianen to finish teaching Gu Tingxuan before talking to her. ¡°Teacher Su, you¡¯ve seen Xuanxuan¡¯s situation. I¡¯m worried about others taking care of him. If possible, I hope that Teacher Su can move in with Xuanxuan¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t do house visits in the first place. I made an exception for Xuanxuan¡­¡± Gu Xichuan interrupted Su Nianen. ¡°If Xuanxuan can get better under your care, you¡¯d have saved his life.¡± Su Nianen chuckled helplessly. ¡°Businessmen are all good at finding people¡¯s weaknesses. I can¡¯t bear it, yes, and my heart aches for Xuanxuan, but I¡¯m not blindly kind. I have my own principles.¡± Gu Xichuan said, ¡°If it¡¯s about the salary, I¡¯ll give you a satisfactory number.¡± ¡°Sir, I don¡¯t have the time to take care of another. I have a lot of troubles to deal with. It¡¯s already difficult for me to find time among those troubles to teach Xuanxuan.¡± Su Nianen¡¯s reply was not very polite. As soon as she finished speaking, she frowned, her face darkened, and her heart sank. Half a minute later, she sighed softly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Forgive me for my tone just now, Mr. Gu.¡± Gu Xichuan nodded in understanding. ¡°No, it¡¯s okay. Xuanxuan and I will wait for you to settle your private matters.¡± Gu Xichuan guessed that her marriage must have exhausted her. Su Nianen rushed home. Lin Wenfeng was actually waiting at the Su family¡¯s door. Her mother was at home, but she had not opened the door. When Su Nianen appeared, Lin Wenfeng immediately greeted her with a smile. ¡°Nianen, you¡¯re back. I rang the doorbell for half a day. I don¡¯t know if Mom didn¡¯t hear me or if she¡¯s not at home. I brought two bottles of good wine for Dad.¡± Su Nianen looked at Lin Wenfeng coldly and distantly. ¡°We¡¯ve already fallen out, so stop pretending to be a good person, okay? I can¡¯t even be bothered to brush you off now.¡± ¡°Nianen, we¡¯ve known each other for so many years. Can you really bear to part with the relationship we¡¯ve built?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you ask yourself that when you were having an affair?¡± Su Nianen retorted. Lin Wenfeng explained patiently, ¡°I didn¡¯t have an affair. It was just a fling, it wasn¡¯t real with Li Feifei, do you still not understand my heart?¡± Su Nianen waved her hand. ¡°Enough, Lin Wenfeng. I can¡¯t be bothered to listen to your nonsense. Each word disgusts me.¡± ¡°Nianen, I¡¯ve already convinced my mother¡­¡± ¡°Lin Wenfeng, you haven¡¯t understood the situation from beginning till end, have you? The reason why I made up my mind to get a divorce isn¡¯t just because of your mother! It¡¯s because of the pain that this marriage has brought me over the years. Your mother is one of the reasons, but you¡¯re the main reason why I¡¯ve learned my lesson!¡± Su Nianen had originally thought that she could no longer be angry, that she could calmly face Lin Wenfeng and their marriage. However, she could still get angry and even lose control of her temper. Lin Wenfeng¡¯s face was full of innocence. ¡°What have I done, Nianen? I¡¯ve always loved you. How did I provoke you?¡± Chapter 36 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen couldn¡¯t get rid of the anger in her heart. In their two-year marriage, there were too many times where she wanted to express her frustrations, but could not find the opening to do so. Should she blame him for not actually helping her when her mother-in-law made things difficult for her? Or should she hate him for the many times he was missing when she woke up late at night? That even his explanations came in the morning, through a phone call? Should she blame him for only being nice to her verbally? Or should she hate him for being more and more perfunctory to her? So much so that he could openly say that it was just a fling when he cheated on her? Should she blame him for his unclear attitude when her mother-in-law suggested surrogacy, when she found out that she was having difficulty getting pregnant? Or should she hate him for bringing a mistress into the family while still dreaming of getting connections from her father? She was too disappointed in this man. There was simply too much disappointment. In this marriage, this trivial daily life, day after day of exhaustion, and the increasingly vicious abuse and verbal insults her mother-in-law gave her. It gradually devoured her spirit. If she hadn¡¯t found out that he was doing something as extreme as cheating, she would still be living like a zombie in the Lin family. So, Lin Wenfeng asked her how he had provoked her? ¡°No, you didn¡¯t. You didn¡¯t provoke me. It¡¯s me. I provoked you. I shouldn¡¯t have believed your nonsense from the beginning. I accepted your pursuit five years ago and your proposal two years ago. I was the one who provoked you and your mother! I¡¯ve only just returned to reality, and I can¡¯t afford to provoke you. I want to have my life back. Do you understand?¡± Lin Wenfeng looked puzzled. ¡°Nianen, our relationship has always been very good and stable. Why do you insist on getting a divorce?¡± ¡°We have a good relationship? So why did you cheat?¡± ¡°That wasn¡¯t real, it was just a fling. Would I divorce you because of that woman? I¡¯ve never even thought of it!¡± Su Nianen couldn¡¯t help but admire this man¡¯s thick skin. ¡°The most impressive justification ever recorded. It¡¯s one thing for me to be manipulated and abused by the two of you after two years of marriage, but you¡¯re even having an affair! You can even righteously say that it was just a fling when you¡¯re having an affair! Such a dignified reason. I can¡¯t help myself but applaud your shamelessness. We¡¯re all adults, Lin Wenfeng. Take responsibility for what you¡¯ve done.¡± ¡°Nianen,¡± Lin Wenfeng argued, ¡°It was just a fling¡­¡± ¡°I beg you to stop using that word. Don¡¯t you find it disgusting? Are you heartless? Do you think I can continue to live with a dirty man full of lies and unwilling to change? Or do you think that after I¡¯d finally gotten rid of your manipulation and abuse, I¡¯d still be willing to be controlled by you two and endure your mother¡¯s endless yelling at me? Or was I born just to be a servant in your house and serve your family?¡± Su Nianen¡¯s eyes were filled with mockery. ¡°Lin Wenfeng, you had me, and the moment you did, you forgot how hard you worked to woo me back then.¡± She deserved this. Why had she been so stupid all these years? Why did she let the Lin family do worse and worse manipulative and abusive things to her, never realizing it? It was laughable that she had defended such a man more than once. She had found all kinds of excuses for him in front of her parents and even put in good words for him. She was completely blind! She deserved it! It served her right! ¡°Nianen, don¡¯t be so extreme, how did I manipulate and abuse you? Am I not good to you? My mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She was born with that personality, but has she really harmed you?¡± ¡°Pft!¡± Su Nianen retaliated rudely, ¡°Lin Wenfeng! Don¡¯t f*cking force me to go crazy here! It wouldn¡¯t be the first time I¡¯ve attacked you.¡± ¡°Nianen,¡± Lin Wenfeng called out helplessly. Su Nianen¡¯s eyes were burning with anger. Lin Wenfeng had no choice but to shut up. Chapter 37 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Every time I think about the past few years, I want to slap myself hard. I hate myself for being useless, I hate myself for being blind, I hate myself for being weak and easy to bully! Thanks to you, my life, which should have been bright and sunny, is now in a mess. Even the job I¡¯ve worked for five years at was ruined by you guys. I¡¯m really angry. But other than beating you up to vent my anger, I have no other way!¡± Su Nianen¡¯s eyes were filled with tears of regret. Lin Wenfeng said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve made you suffer so much these past few years.¡± Su Nianen sneered. ¡°If you really realize that you¡¯ve let me down, hurry up and get a divorce. Don¡¯t waste my time anymore.¡± ¡°Nianen, I really still love you. Don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Lin Wenfeng, can you stop pestering me? Instead of going against your conscience and saying that you still love me, why don¡¯t you just admit that you can¡¯t bear to part with the relationship my father can give you? Do you really think everyone is a fool?¡± Su Nianen stepped forward and asked again, ¡°Am I that stupid?¡± ¡°Nianen.¡± Lin Wenfeng¡¯s face was filled with helplessness. His eyes hinted at his feelings for her. ¡°Divorce,¡± Su Nianen said coldly. Lin Wenfeng begged her humbly, ¡°En, I was wrong in the past. I neglected your feelings. I¡¯ll definitely change in the future. Like in the beginning. I¡¯ll change. I can¡¯t live without you. En, I swore when I was very young that I would only get married once in my life, with one wife. I won¡¯t get a divorce.¡± ¡°So you get to do anything you want? An affair, a mistress entering the family, and your mother¡¯s plan to have her give birth to your child! What the f*ck am I doing in this mess?¡± Su Nianen asked angrily. Lin Wenfeng¡¯s face was full of regret. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, En. We don¡¯t have to have a child, I don¡¯t need it. If you don¡¯t like Li Feifei, we can just send her away. We¡¯re husband and wife. No matter how big the storm is, we have to face it together as a couple.¡± ¡°It was you and your pleasure that caused the storm. I¡¯ve had enough. There¡¯s no room for negotiation. Please don¡¯t waste your breath,¡± Su Nianen said coldly. ¡°En¡­¡± Bang! The door suddenly opened, and the door hit the wall with a loud bang. Mother Su stood at the door with an ugly expression. She stared at Lin Wenfeng as if she was staring at a disgusting worm. ¡°Scram!¡± Su Nianen turned around and called out softly, ¡°Mom.¡± Mother Su did not look at Su Nianen. She stared at Lin Wenfeng in disgust. Lin Wenfeng also called out ¡°Mom¡±. At the same time, he was shocked by Mother Su¡¯s gaze. ¡°Scram!¡± Lin Wenfeng paused. He moved his lips and looked at Su Nianen. ¡°Mom, En, I¡¯ll visit you guys another day.¡± When Lin Wenfeng finally left, Mother Su glanced at Su Nianen and said in an unpleasant tone, ¡°If you don¡¯t come home now, don¡¯t ever come back.¡± Su Nianen wanted to say something but hesitated. She silently entered the house. ¡°He just agreed to the divorce, but today he changed his mind.¡± ¡°What about you?¡± Mother Su asked, ¡°Have you lost your mind too? Isn¡¯t it enough to be deceived once? Do you still want to spend the rest of your life in the Lin family?¡± ¡°Of course I want a divorce, but Lin Wenfeng doesn¡¯t,¡± Su Nianen said in a low voice. Mother Su sat on the sofa angrily. Even from behind, she could see her filled with anger. Su Nianen stood rooted to the ground and looked at her mother. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ll tell Lin Wenfeng not to come here again.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t afford to lose face. Your father can¡¯t afford to lose face!¡± Mother Su couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said. Her daughter¡¯s divorce was not a glorious thing to begin with, and the whole incident had even spread to other people. How could the Su family live with this? Mother Su turned slightly to Su Nianen. ¡°It¡¯s one thing for them to point fingers at me, but what about your father? He¡¯s been respected for his entire life and just when he¡¯s nearing retirement, people are pointing fingers at him because of you!¡± Chapter 38 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Su Nianen lowered her head, not daring to look at her mother. ¡°You¡¯ve been obedient since you were young and have always been our pride. But why did you¡­¡± Mother Su choked on her words and quickly stopped. A moment later, she continued, ¡°Back then, I didn¡¯t agree to you being with Lin Wenfeng at all costs. Lin Wenfeng values his interests more than anything else. I could tell the first time he came to our house. But what about you? You thought your mother was stuck-up and looked down on people! You thought I looked down on him for being poor! You said that he doesn¡¯t care about our family¡¯s things, that if it weren¡¯t for your relationship, he wouldn¡¯t even be bothered with a family like ours. You said that he¡¯s noble, talented, has a good character, and treats you well. Is that so? Is that so? Su Nien, is that so?¡± ¡°Sorry, sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Su Nianen covered her face and sobbed. She knew that her parents were the most disappointed, but she¡­ She knew she was wrong. She didn¡¯t know how to read people. She deserved all the abuse. Su Nianen choked as she apologized and ran out. When Mother Su saw that her daughter was leaving after having just returned, tears streamed down her face. ¡°Su Nianen, don¡¯t come back if you leave!¡± ¡°Not coming back when you have a home, do you still have your Mom in your heart?!¡± Was this family so scary that she wouldn¡¯t even come back after suffering all of that out there? Mother Su felt as if her heart was stuffed with clumps of weeds. She felt extremely uncomfortable. Her original intention wasn¡¯t to yell at her. She wanted to comfort her daughter. After she¡¯d suffered so much out there. She wanted to hug her daughter and comfort her. But¡­ Mother Su couldn¡¯t control herself, especially after Lin Wenfeng¡¯s whole performance outside the door. She couldn¡¯t control the anger in her heart anymore, and all of it bursted out. For the past few days, she couldn¡¯t even sleep or eat well. She had been worried about her daughter. She also hated herself. Why did she say those things to her, rubbing salt into her daughter¡¯s wounds? Mother Su knocked her head hard twice. Why did she say those things? Su Nianen went straight back to the hotel. The sadness of being betrayed by Lin Wenfeng¡¯s feelings was very different from the sadness of disappointing her family. Her heart ached. She knew too well how she¡¯d disappointed her parents. She knew too well how embarrassing she¡¯d made it for her parents. She simply couldn¡¯t bear going home with all that shame. She actually just really wanted to hide at home and hide in her shell like a turtle, so that she could escape reality. However, she couldn¡¯t do so. Her home could not tolerate such an embarrassing daughter. Su Nianen hugged her blanket and cried bitterly. She had been outstanding ever since she was young, and thought that she had found an outstanding husband. It turned out that it was a monster she had married. Her future was bleak. Su Nianen was unconscious for an entire day. When she woke up at night, Lin Wenfeng sent her a message asking to see her. Su Nianen ignored it. Lin Wenfeng had gone back on his word and didn¡¯t want a divorce. For these few days, Su Nianen¡¯s heart had been under great torture. Her sleep schedule was completely flipped, and day and night were indistinguishable. Even now, she would return to the hotel to sleep after teaching the little guy in the morning. Life was once again without passion, without hope, without expectations. Lin Wenfeng went to harass the Su family again, so Su Nianen had no choice but to appear again. When Lin Wenfeng saw Su Nianen, his eyes lit up. He spoke happily. ¡°En, Li Feifei has already agreed to leave Qingdu. She¡¯ll leave tomorrow. There won¡¯t be a third wheel between us now.¡± Su Nianen was furious. She rushed forward and grabbed Lin Wenfeng¡¯s collar. ¡°Are you a f*cking pig? It¡¯s over between us, it¡¯s over! Don¡¯t you understand?! Lin Wenfeng, do you have to drive me crazy before you¡¯re satisfied?!¡± The light in Lin Wenfeng¡¯s eyes dimmed. He asked in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ve already sent Li Feifei away. What else do you want me to do?¡± Chapter 39 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡®What else do you want me to do?¡¯ Su Nianen wanted to laugh. Su Nianen laughed in anger. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked straight at Lin Wenfeng. ¡°I want you to agree to the divorce! Divorce! Don¡¯t you understand, pig!¡± Su Nianen¡¯s tears fell. She turned around and faced the wall. When she arrived, the Su family¡¯s door was open. Mother Su stood at the door solemnly. The families across the corridor were all piled at the door, watching from afar. It was really embarrassing. She had embarrassed her family again. Why was she so useless? Lin Wenfeng begged her humbly, ¡°I was wrong in the past. En, I didn¡¯t cherish you properly, but I love you. En, I won¡¯t get a divorce.¡± Lin Wenfeng suddenly knelt down in front of Su Nianen and reached out to pull her clothes. Su Nianen flung his hand away, her eyes red. ¡°Lin Wenfeng, the last bit of dignity you should have in my eyes is gone now that you¡¯re kneeling. In order to save your marriage, you¡¯re able to kneel and admit your mistake, but it was so easy when you betrayed me. For you, kneeling is as easy now, isn¡¯t it?¡± Clack! Clack! Clack! Lin Wenfeng suddenly slapped himself on both cheeks. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. En, I¡¯ve let you down. I¡¯ve reflected on my mistakes. I should¡¯ve cherished you. En, I swear I¡¯ll treat you well in the future. I won¡¯t do those foolish things again. En, please give me another chance.¡± Su Nianen looked at Lin Wenfeng coldly. ¡°Get up.¡± Lin Wenfeng pulled Su Nianen¡¯s clothes again and held her hand tightly. ¡°En. I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°En, we used to be so in love. Have you forgotten? We once said that we would be together for the rest of our lives. When we¡¯re old, we¡¯ll hold hands and go on a trip together. I¡¯ll even hold your hand when we cross the road. Even when we¡¯re in wheelchairs when we¡¯re old, we¡¯ll push our wheelchairs with one hand and hold hands with the other. We said that we would never let go. Have you forgotten?¡± Lin Wenfeng was moved, and he cried. ¡°It¡¯s my fault for being a bastard. I was foolish. But, En, please give me another chance. I don¡¯t want to let go of your hand. Please, don¡¯t let go of my hand, En¡­¡± Su Nianen¡¯s tears had yet to dry. She mocked, ¡°You still manage to remember.¡± ¡°En.¡± Lin Wenfeng quickly grabbed her hand. ¡°Give me another chance, okay? Let me use the rest of my life to make it up to you. En, let me use the rest of my life to make it up to you, okay?¡± Su Nianen¡¯s heart ached. Lin Wenfeng wasn¡¯t such a bad person. At least before she found out that this man had cheated on her, even when she was enduring all kinds of difficulties from her mother-in-law, she had never even thought of getting a divorce. She wasn¡¯t so tough then. In the past, Lin Wenfeng would surprise her from time to time and spent a lot of effort on her. He remembered many of her habits and hobbies which would inadvertently move her and warm her. But! This was the same person who once rode a bicycle in the middle of winter to a bun shop five kilometers away, to line up for half an hour to buy meat buns before dawn. He was afraid that the meat buns would turn cold by the time he came back, so he had kept them in his pockets just to keep them warm on his way back to school, just for her. It was the same person who had once studied, fiddled, and practiced on his own the moment he learned that she liked milk tea. Every day, he would deliver hot milk tea to her immediately. It was the same person who had once said that he loved her and rejected the confessions of other girls. It was the same man who once said that the greatest thing in his life was to treat her well! This same man had an affair! Not only did he cheat on her, but he also raised a mistress by his side, spending their days together. She openly entered the house and slept with him under her nose. At that moment, it wasn¡¯t just her marriage that shattered. It wasn¡¯t just her love and adoration for him. It was her entire youth, her spirit, and all of her hope! Chapter 40 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Nianen didn¡¯t say anything, but tears were streaming down her face. This was the man who had once carried all her emotions, happy or sad. She actually couldn¡¯t bear to part with him. But she could not let go. She couldn¡¯t start all over again. After she left him, she wouldn¡¯t turn back even if her heart ached. Mother Su saw that Su Nianen was in tears, and was afraid that her daughter would be deceived by Lin Wenfeng¡¯s sweet words again. Immediately, she went forward and dragged Su Nianen away. ¡°Don¡¯t listen!¡± Lin Wenfeng immediately turned around and grabbed Mother Su¡¯s leg. ¡°Mom, please don¡¯t break us up again. Mom, I really love Nianen. We still have feelings for each other. Please give us space and let us resolve it ourselves. Please don¡¯t stop us, mom, please!¡± Mother Su was so angry that she was trembling. She immediately raised her leg and kicked Lin Wenfeng. Lin Wenfeng didn¡¯t dodge. After being kicked, he swiftly hugged Mother Su. ¡°Mom, please give us another chance. Mom, please. It was my fault in the past. I didn¡¯t cherish what I had. I won¡¯t disappoint you in the future!¡± Su Nianen pushed Lin Wenfeng repeatedly. ¡°Let go of me. Let go of my Mom. Lin Wenfeng, don¡¯t come to our house anymore, okay?¡± Mother Su couldn¡¯t get rid of Lin Wenfeng, and she couldn¡¯t throw a tantrum the way Mother Su could. She was angry and disgusted, and after swaying for a while, she fainted. ¡°Mom! Mom!¡± Su Nianen screamed in fear and immediately held her mother. Lin Wenfeng was stunned. He had no idea what was going on. It was the family opposite them that hurriedly ran over when they heard the commotion. Was she infuriated to death? Should they call the police or an ambulance? One of the neighbors called an ambulance, but before the ambulance arrived, Mother Su had already woken up. She had only been in shock for two minutes. However, that blow really frightened Su Nianen. Lin Wenfeng stopped kneeling and begging for forgiveness. He nervously observed Mother Su¡¯s condition. When Mother Su woke up, Lin Wenfeng had already carried her into the living room. She was lying on the sofa. Su Nianen¡¯s eyes were red from crying, and she still hadn¡¯t stopped crying even now. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry.¡± When Mother Su woke up, she felt a chill run down her spine. She looked at her daughter and then at Lin Wenfeng, who was beside her. The sight immediately agitated her. ¡°Why are you in my house? Get out, get out!¡± Mother Su¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud even as she shouted with all her might. Lin Wenfeng was afraid that Mother Su would collapse from anger again, so he didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer and quickly left the living room. ¡°I¡¯ll go out. I¡¯ll go out now. Mom, don¡¯t be angry. Don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll leave now. I¡¯ll leave now.¡± Su Nianen looked up, her eyes spitting fire. ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Lin Wenfeng looked at Su Nianen and wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°Scram!¡± Lin Wenfeng took two steps and turned around to say to her, ¡°En, I¡¯ll be outside the door. I¡¯ll leave after mom gets in the ambulance.¡± Su Nianen wanted to roar, but she was defeated by reality. Indeed, she really needed this help at this moment. She was afraid that something would happen to her mother. Nothing was more important than her mother¡¯s safety. Mother Su trembled and said, ¡°Get lost. Tell him to get lost. I don¡¯t want to see him. Get lost.¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m leaving now.¡± Lin Wenfeng immediately disappeared from the living room. Su Nianen turned around and saw Lin Wenfeng looking around the door worriedly. He really didn¡¯t plan on leaving. Su Nianen was furious and hated herself for being so useless. But at this moment, she was more afraid than angry, afraid that something would happen to her mother. She could not bear such a blow alone. She was afraid¡­ Her parents were old. What she was most afraid of was her parents getting sick. Even if it was a small illness, it would worry her for a long time. In the past, with Lin Wenfeng by her side, she had someone to rely on in these situations. But now¡­ Su Nianen was terrified. She held her mother¡¯s hand tightly, her heart filled with guilt and sadness.
