Chapter 28: Chapter 28 President Shen is Your Young Uncle
After watching Su Yalan’s press conference, Lin Weilan bombarded Su Nian with questions: “Sister Niannian, is Su Yalan really your aunt?”
Su Nian thought for a moment, considering that Shen Hanxiu made no effort to conceal their relationship at the company, this revelation might reduce the office gossip. Thus, she decided to play along: “Mhm, didn’t you say President Shen treats me especially well? Actually, he’s my uncle by marriage. They didn’t announce their marriage plans earlier, so I didn’t dare to speak up.”
“With that said, was the person in this morning’s paper you? Thinking back now, it really does look like you!” Then, Wei Lan excitedly said: “President Shen is your uncle, wow, Sister Niannian, you’ve got a powerful backer!”
Su Nian smiled, pondering in her heart. Su Yalan made such a big fuss; she really wanted to know how Shen Hanxiu would handle it.
Thinking about this, she didn’t know what to feel.
She could fool others, but not herself. She was crystal clear that the man was her former husband, the father of her child.
But she had too many concerns, and she feared this veil might never be lifted in her lifetime.
Back in the office, Wei Lan pulled out the morning’s photo again: “Wow Sister Niannian, you have twins? I must visit your place during the holiday.”
“Sure, I’ve been worried about finding someone to help me with the kids.”
Hearing her words, Wei Lan recalled that Su Yalan mentioned in the news that her niece was a single mother.
She suddenly looked at Su Nian with sympathy, always thinking that such an optimistic girl like Su Nian could openly say her child is three years old. She thought Su Nian must have a complete and happy family, only to realize she was actually a single mother. Which man was so clueless!
Wei Lan refrained from picking at Su Nian’s wounds. Even though she was very curious about her affair, she ultimately skirted around the subject, and the conversation kept revolving around the kids. When looking at Su Nian’s phone and seeing daily life pictures of the two children, Wei Lan fell in love with them even more.
At this time, Xue Qi came over with a coffee cup in hand, stepping in high heels: “Su Nian, looks like your plan has backfired.”
Su Nian looked at her and smiled: “With your level of intelligence, don’t try to be clever.”
It still wasn’t time for work, so Xue Qi wasn’t afraid of her: “Exactly, don’t think you’re all that. Once the internship’s over, it’s still uncertain whether you can remain here with attitude!”
Xue Qi turned to Wei Lan, speaking in a threatening tone: “Don’t forget, I have a say in your internship report. Who knows who will stay or go.”
Wei Lan stood up, ready to fight, but Su Nian promptly held her back: “Lanlan, evil cannot suppress the righteous. In a big company like Sheng Han, she won’t be able to confuse them with her little tricks. Real skill is what matters.”
“Right! Those without any skill only know how to brown-nose all day!”
Xue Qi wanted to retort but suddenly a voice from the department head called out from behind: “Qiqi, come here for a moment.”
Xue Qi immediately changed her arrogant tone and agreed obediently: “Okay! Coming right away.”
Now, everyone who knew Su Nian was aware of her relation to President Shen, and even the department head’s attitude towards her had changed drastically.
It was entirely opposite to the previously arrogant demeanor.
In just one afternoon, practically everyone in the department greeted Su Nian, kindly saying if she didn’t understand something or needed any help, they could ask, and they’d definitely help.
Su Nian reflected inwardly, Shen Hanxiu’s influence was truly not insignificant; even the slightest connection to him meant a different treatment.
Of course, Su Nian was no longer the girl who couldn’t tell right from wrong in the past. She was clear about who was good and who was bad.
Today was Friday, and the kids got out of school earlier than usual. Looking at the time, Su Nian realized the children must have been out of school for a while. She was about to call Su Zhen and Su Bao to wait for her at the school when she just had her phone in hand and suddenly heard a clear girl’s voice from the quiet office outside: “Mom!”
