Chapter 497: Chapter 400: Is the Biological Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Lady Deliberately Underperforms 40_2
“Ruanruan… Mom’s not doing well at all! Your dad had an affair and is doting on his mistress, ignoring you and your brother instead! What will you do if the mistress gives birth to his child one day!!” Ning Fu tried to PUA Su Zhiruan.
Su Zhiruan could clearly hear it, but she just smiled slightly and replied, “Mom, didn’t you say it before! Aunt Zhu also has her own difficulties, and after all, the child in her stomach will be part of our family, sharing the same father but different mothers!”
After hearing Su Zhiruan’s words, Ning Fu was left speechless.
What Su Zhiruan said was not at all wrong; these words were exactly what she had said herself.
At that time, she had portrayed herself as gentle and generous, and did not feel guilty at all when she said those words. But now that Su Zhiruan repeated them, she felt like her ulterior motives were being laid bare, which was quite embarrassing.
“Okay, okay, it’s getting late, and I have class tomorrow, so I’m going to hang up now.” Su Zhiruan didn’t want to talk to her anymore, so after saying this, she quickly hung up the phone.
At this moment, Xie Yanshang was still kneading her left hand.
Su Zhiruan sighed, placed her phone on the table, sat cross-legged, and then reached out to take hold of Xie Yanshang’s hand, “Dr. Xie, what are you doing?”
“Taking your pulse.” Xie Yanshang lied, without even blinking an eye, and there seemed to be a fleeting smile playing at his lips.
“Nobody takes a pulse .” Su Zhiruan shook her head, trying to pull her hand back.
That’s when Xie Yanshang said to her, “Just now on the phone, you said that you and I are already together?”
“A stopgap measure.” Su Zhiruan feigned nonchalance.
“When did that thing you mentioned happen?” Xie Yanshang’s expression darkened when he heard her say on the phone that Ning Fu had wanted her to accompany an old man.
He had only just found out that Ning Fu had once made Su Zhiruan sleep with other men, and his words were oppressive and disdainful.
Even though he had long known that Ning Fu did not like Su Zhiruan, he never imagined that she, at the very least as a mother, could do something so disgusting.
“That thing… was about a month before the college entrance exam,” Su Zhiruan recalled the time when she first came to this world.
She fell into a reverie. Sometimes Su Zhiruan felt it was unfair for the original host. Perhaps because the original host grew up suppressed in such a family, her character was of a pleasing type. Even in the original story, despite Ning Fu tormenting and abusing her, the original host would compromise whenever Ning Fu played the card of family affection, even helping her against Zhu Manqing.
Now, Su Zhiruan could think without hesitation that if Ning Fu had said to the original host when leaving, “I’ll take you away,” the original host would have joyously followed Ning Fu, even if they had to live in a shabby and remote little house. She would have been overjoyed.
But in this world, there is such love and hatred that comes out of nowhere. Just because she was born with the wrong gender, she received a lifetime of prejudice from Ning Fu.
“Since you’ve already told her that, why not make the lie come true,” Xie Yanshang originally was just pretending to take her pulse. He sighed and after saying this, his fingers lightly hooked Su Zhiruan’s little finger, his tone sincere, “Let’s be together, from now on I’ll have your back.”
Su Zhiruan’s train of thought was not on this, and she casually nodded her head. Only when she realized what Xie Yanshang had actually said did she immediately turn her head to look at him, and then exclaimed, “What!?”
“I like you.” After Xie Yanshang said it, he seemed somewhat reserved. He withdrew his hand, sat up straight, then seriously looked at Su Zhiruan, repeating, “I like you!”
The progress of this courtship was too fast, even for Su Zhiruan to handle.
She gazed at Xie Yanshang, unable to speak for a long time.
When exactly did this happen?
Though they had known each other for not a short time. It had been five months since she came to this world and met Xie Yanshang.
When she first arrived in this world, there was still a month left for the college entrance exam, and now more than a month had passed since the military training.
“Indeed, it’s too fast.” Xie Yanshang looked a bit dejected, but he didn’t give up, “I’m serious.”
“Although we’ve known each other for five months, at first I only treated you as an ordinary patient. But as we got closer, through chatting and various things, I’ve always felt an inseparable bond between us. Before I met you, I wasn’t prepared to like anyone, no matter how much my family pushed, it didn’t seem that important. But after meeting you, I want to give it a try.”
