Su Qian had a helpless expression on her face as she made way for Su Su to enter her room. Then Su Qian explained, “Don’t mind him. My silly brother is just sad that Grandma Su scolded him.”
Su Su was puzzled as she casually entered Su Qian’s room. Su Su was about to speak when she saw the bright-colored venomous snake from before staring at her with its tongue sticking out.
“Watch out! There’s a snake in your room!” Su Su was shocked and took a big step backward when she saw the snake coming toward her.
Su Qian quickly caught Su Su and explained apologetically, “D-Don’t be afraid, Su Su. That’s a specimen that I just made!”
Su Su cautiously took a closer look when she heard that it was just a specimen. Although the snake was sticking its tongue out, its body was stuffed with thin wires, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed not alive.
Only then did Su Su heave a sigh of relief. She sat at the foot of Su Qian’s bed, far from the specimen, and patted her chest. Then Su Qian hurriedly put away the specimen.
As Su Qian rummaged around her cabinets, she explained, “W-When Su Jun asked the servants to capture the small snake, I told them to keep it for me because I thought it had pretty patterns. I finished fixing the snake up just now when you knocked on my door. I was rushing to let you in and forgot to warn you.”
Su Qian not only loved nature, but she also liked taxidermy. Su Su was impressed and looked at the specimen again. Then Su Su asked something she shouldn’t have, “Su Qian, why does Grandma Su treat you guys so poorly?”
When Su Su returned to the Su family before traveling back in time, Su Jun had already dealt with Grandma Su and their second uncle, so Su Su did not know much about the twins.
Su Su knew that the twins were her second uncle’s biological children. She was also aware that Grandma Su only cared about money and property, while the twin’s parents never cared for them.
Su Su wondered why Grandma Su and her second uncle abandoned the twins and sent them to the Su family home. Su Su could not figure out a reason for this. The little girl felt that the twins shouldn’t be treated so poorly.
Su Qian was stunned when she heard Su Su’s question. She lowered her head and muttered in a quiet tone, “B-Because we’re not biological members of the Su family.”
Su Su was utterly shocked when she heard this. Then she came to a sudden realization. Su Su kindly patted the dejected Su Qian and comforted her, “It’s okay. As long as you’re with us, it won’t matter if you guys are illegitimate children or not.” Only the greedy Grandma Su and their second uncle would care about such statuses.
“D-Do you truly mean that? Thank you so much, Su Su!”
Su Qian was teary-eyed when she heard Su Su’s words. When Su Qian noticed Su Su’s caring gaze, she hurriedly wiped her tears and said gratefully, “Thank goodness Grandma Su sent us to you guys and not some other family.”
The two girls were chatting when they suddenly heard a shout echo from outside. It looked like the bodyguards were chasing something
However, the noise quickly died down. Su Su and Su Qian walked toward the window and saw the bodyguards holding down two men with cameras hanging around their necks.
