Chapter 468: Chapter 390: Is the Birth Mother Indifferent like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Turns the Tables with a Reckless Move 30_3
Meanwhile, Zhu Manqing was overjoyed within.
In the past, she had worried that Su Qin was an old romantic. If Ning Fu had a change of heart, she wouldn’t lose her position and her child would remain illegitimate. But now that Su Qin had openly admitted that a divorce with Ning Fu was inevitable, their marriage was as good as settled.
Thereupon, Zhu Manqing pretended to be sympathetic as she took Su Zhiruan’s hand, “Look at her, she’s just a high school student! Look how many scars she has, and how thin her wrists are. She hasn’t had a full meal since she was a child! Alas! People say parents love their children unconditionally, but I see it’s not always true!”
Perhaps the bystanders and netizens believed more in what they saw with their own eyes, and upon comparing the two sides, they immediately noticed the discrepancy.
Putting a young Zhu Manqing and Ning Fu together already made a stark contrast. Moreover, Ning Fu abused Su Zhiruan, who was his own daughter, while Zhu Manqing, from a stranger’s perspective, showed her care and promised to be a good mother.
People’s hearts are made of flesh; upon seeing this, they too showed sympathy.
Su Qin looked at Su Zhiruan, slightly disappointed, she shook her head, “It’s a pity, I was hoping that if you could get into just a normal university, even a second-tier one or a private school, it wouldn’t be so embarrassing! Never mind! Once the brother in your Aunt Zhu’s belly grows up, you could have helped him manage the company. But now, looking at this…”
Zhu Manqing couldn’t help but beam with joy upon hearing his words; she hadn’t expected Su Qin to outright express that the company would be handed over to her unborn child.
She was delighted internally, but her face showed regret, “Yes, even a bachelor’s degree would have been enough to strive for more later. But don’t worry, Ruanruan, later on, we’ll find you a good family to marry into, then you can enjoy a life of wealth and honor!”
Su Zhiruan gave them both a meaningful look.
And the bystanders around them felt uncomfortable upon hearing this conversation.
In the live stream, people who understood the situation had already exposed the façade, causing an uproar.
[How come I feel there is not a single good person in this family. The father cheats with a mistress, and even abets his illegitimate child; the mother abuses her own daughter and deliberately sabotages her college entrance exam; and then the mistress can even easily decide the child’s future fate!]
[Maybe you upstairs don’t know, but I’ve had dealings with their family before. I know them; there’s also a younger brother in their family. That brother is no better; he often bullies his elder sister and doesn’t even call her sister, just uses her name directly.]
[My God, this young girl has grown up in such a disgusting family, yet has come so far. No matter what, children should be treated equally.]
Just then, as the atmosphere stiffened, someone suddenly tapped Su Zhiruan on the shoulder from behind and called her gently.
“Ruanruan, your aunt said she’d come to be with you, but didn’t expect you to be here; now I’m here.”
As everyone witnessed this, their gaze turned in that direction. Su Qin, Zhu Manqing, and Ning Fu on the ground didn’t know who this middle-aged woman was.
Dressed glamorously and with well-maintained skin, she moved as though she could be Su Zhiruan’s elder sister.
“How did you come?” Su Zhiruan looked at Madam Xie, somewhat surprised, and quickly turned around.
Su Qin saw the lady of standing before him feeling somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he just couldn’t recall.
Ning Fu didn’t recognize someone like Madam Xie, for someone of her lower social status, it was difficult to connect with Madam Xie, and Zhu Manqing knew even less, having been only a secretary handling mundane tasks.
While Su Qin was still racking his brain trying to figure out who she was, a person appearing behind Su Zhiruan made him remember everything.
Behind Su Zhiruan was none other than Xie Yanshang, the very person he had last tried hard to curry favor with!
“Just arrived and already a good show is underway,”
Xie Yanshang walked up to Su Zhiruan’s side and stood beside her, speaking indifferently to her.
“So, little pitiful, being bullied?”
He made this comment without any suggestive tone, seemingly just stating what he saw and casually asking.
At this, people who knew him, as well as the netizens in the live stream, along with Su Qin and the others,
Perhaps, one could not know Madam Xie in their social circles, but they certainly would know Xie Yanshang.
The drama was truly captivating, finding a village through winding paths and blossoming flowers.
Suddenly, the number in the live stream multiplied tremendously, and the real-time popularity on the trending lists kept climbing.
“Saw online that your college entrance exam was hampered, just happened to pass by and decided to check on you!” Xie Yanshang’s cold gaze swept over everyone present, sending chills through them all.
Could this be… the grand arrival of a powerful boss to make a stand?
