Chapter 27: Chapter 27: When One is Despicable, There is No Equal

For three years, she had been busy working hard and taking care of Ning Yichen. She neither had extra money to buy nice clothes nor time to dress herself up. Compared to the radiant and glamorous Su Lianxi, Ning Yichen was indeed more likely to fall in love with Su Lianxi.
Perhaps Ning Yichen would never fall in love with her, but if Su Lianxi hadn’t stolen the credit, Ning Yichen would never have given Su Lianxi a second glance.
Just like he did with her now.
Thinking of this, Su Zixi smiled faintly: “Is that so? Even if Ning Yichen knows that you’re not the one who took care of him, he would still marry you, right?”
Hearing this, Su Lianxi’s expression slightly changed.
But soon, she smiled brightly again, “It doesn’t matter. After all, he won’t know. Even if you tell him everything now, he won’t believe you.”
Su Zixi clenched her fists secretly.
“Su Lianxi, you won, after all, one who is shameless is invincible.” She laughed self-deprecatingly, “Go back and tell father that I will never return. From now on, whether I live or die has nothing to do with him!”
After saying that, Su Zixi turned and walked away.
“Sister.” Su Lianxi’s voice called out again, “Don’t you want to know where your mother’s ashes are after cremation?”
Su Zixi’s steps suddenly halted, she turned and glared at her angrily: “Su Lianxi, what are you trying to do!”
“I know you’ve been looking for your mother’s ashes. Coincidentally, I know where they are. So, I want to make a deal with you, sister.” Su Lianxi smiled confidently, “There are too many people here, how about we discuss this somewhere else?”
Su Zixi stared at her expressionlessly for a long time.
Eventually, she softly spat out one word: “Fine.”
Su Lianxi chose a tea restaurant near Yanzhou University.
After sitting down, Su Lianxi leisurely flipped through the menu, “Sister, I heard the food here is quite good. Let me treat you to lunch today.”
“No need!” Su Zixi had no patience to tangle with her, “Where are my mother’s ashes?”
Su Zixi’s memories of her mother were already very vague. After all, her mother died when she was only three years old. But Su Zixi still remembered her mother’s warm palms and gentle smile.
In her mind, her mother was synonymous with warmth and safety.
Unfortunately, her mother wasn’t in good health from the start. She wasn’t supposed to get pregnant, but she forced herself to carry the pregnancy for Su Guo’an. Who knew that while still pregnant, Su Guo’an had already cheated with Lin Shuyue.
Otherwise, how could Su Lianxi be only a year younger than her.
Not long after she was born, her mother discovered Su Guo’an’s affair. Her already weakened body deteriorated day by day until she finally passed away on her sickbed when Su Zixi was three years old.
Su Zixi still remembered crying for a very long time that day. Even though she was so young and didn’t understand much, she knew that once her mother died, no one would love her anymore.
After her mother was cremated, people told her that the urn held her mother’s ashes, so she clung to it, refusing to let go. But one day, she woke up and it was gone. She cried and begged Su Guo’an, but he impatiently told her he didn’t know. But Su Zixi believed that someone had hidden the urn, so she never gave up searching.
Whether Su Lianxi really knew or was just using this as an excuse to lure her out, she had to try.
