After that, there was almost no suspense. Lu Juan and Yun Yi got divorced, and then Lu Juan disappeared from the sight of the Yun family. After so many years, they don’t know if she was still alive.
However, during the divorce, the Yun family gave Lu Juan a huge sum of money. Lu Juan should be able to live well with this money, right?
After hearing what Butler Wu said, Su Yan paused for a moment. She did not feel anything special in her heart. She only sighed softly and was about to say something when she inadvertently noticed Butler Wu’s probing expression.
Was he curious about how she would react when she heard that her biological mother did not like her and even committed suicide on her birthday?
Such an explanation was the most reasonable, but Su Yan’s intuition told her that it was not that simple. When she looked at Uncle Wu again, she saw that Uncle Wu had indeed retracted the probing look on his face.
Su Yan paused for a moment and asked, “Is there really no news of my mother all these years?”
Uncle Wu sighed pretentiously. “That’s right. Madam… Sigh, in the end, it’s because Madam’s maiden family isn’t happy that they forced Madam to this extent.”
Maiden family?
Seeing Su Yan’s confusion, Uncle Wu continued, “Although Madam is a member of the Lu family, she is the illegitimate daughter of the Lu family’s Master. Because Madam looks too similar to her mother, Madam is very hated by Mrs. Lu. Fortunately, the Lu family’s Master has protected her for so many years, allowing Madam to grow up well.”
There were many shady dealings among the wealthy families, and their methods were not any worse than the palace fights in television dramas.
Su Yan nodded, indicating that she understood. She did not continue the topic of Lu Juan and asked, “I want to eat chicken chop tonight. Auntie Chen, please help me prepare it.”
With that said, Su Yan entered her room, closed the door, and started to think quietly.
If Su Yan was just a person who had never experienced the past and present life, she would probably feel very uncomfortable when she suddenly heard these things. The malicious treatment of her adoptive parents and the neglect of her biological mother. When these things were stacked together, Su Yan might even suspect that she was the one with a problem. That was why she was so disliked by the people around her.
However, Su Yan had experienced a miraculous rebirth, so she had a different opinion on these things.
Su Yan knew very well that the Su couple were not good people. They were selfish and self-serving. Wasn’t it obvious from the way they treat their own daughter?
And her own mother.
Su Yan walked slowly to the window and sat on the window sill with her knees bent. After a long while, she sighed. Perhaps she was really sick, or perhaps she really felt that her looks did not suit her, so she did not like her?
Looking at her reflection in the glass, Su Yan felt that her looks should be okay. In that case, her mother should really be sick.
At this moment, Su Yan was almost certain that Uncle Wu had said this on purpose, especially that last sentence.
“It’s been a long time since the Yun family contacted Madam. I don’t know where Madam is now, but when they divorced, the Yun family gave Madam a large sum of money. I think Madam will be able to live well with this money, right?”
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this sentence. It was just a guess. But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that this sentence was full of traps.
Firstly, they had to give Lu Juan a large sum of money. Lu Juan was a weak woman. If she suddenly got a large sum of money, wouldn’t she be a fat sheep? For this sum of money, people would fight openly and secretly. Who knew what kind of drama would happen to Lu Juan? No one knew what kind of harm she would suffer.
Also, they hadn’t contacted Lu Juan for a long time. Wasn’t this indirectly saying that the Yun family was heartless? After getting a divorce, they threw her aside and didn’t care about her. If they weren’t cold and heartless, what were they?
Su Yan could almost guess Butler Wu’s intentions. He wanted her to know about this. Now, it seemed like every word he said for the Yun family was buried in Su Yan’s heart like nails, waiting for Su Yan to explode when she knew that Lu Juan was not doing well.
If Lu Juan died, then Su Yan would definitely feel that the Yun family was not trustworthy and harbor resentment towards the Yun family.
Su Yan let out a long breath and felt a little tired. Looking at the time, Su Yan called Yun Chang when it was time for him to get off work.
“What’s wrong, Xiao Xi?” Yun Chang picked up the call very quickly. He was even a little worried. “Is the school still making things difficult for you? Don’t be afraid. With me around, I won’t let…”
Before he could finish speaking, Su Yan interrupted, “Third Uncle, the school has already settled the matter. I called you… because I still have some questions to ask.”
Upon hearing that it was resolved, Yun Chang heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Is there anything else? Ask away.”
Su Yan thought of many words to say. In the end, she decided to speak frankly and asked, “Third Uncle, what did my mother do back then? Why has no one ever mentioned her?”
