Her ex-husband cheated, the mistress forced her hand, and all her deep love was met with betrayal. Thoroughly betrayed and divorced, Su Yan completely shut herself off, vowing to torment all the sc...
After comforting Su Xiaoyu, Su Yan and Yi An finally walked out of the coffee shop together.
"You and Xiaoyu are very close?"
Yi'an got into the car and suddenly said this.
Su Yan was taken aback for a moment, then realized that he didn't know she was Su Xiaoyu's mother, and immediately replied, "Yes, we have a very good relationship."
Yi An's face immediately showed envy. "Then can you teach me how to get close to her?"
Su Yan was truly stunned this time, looking at him in surprise.
Yi An realized that her words were a bit abrupt and quickly explained, "I have a special connection with this child, I like her very much, and I want to be her friend."
Su Yan smiled. To be friends with Su Xiaoyu, they needed to be related by blood at the very least.
Yi'an already fails this requirement.
Seeing her smiling in a way that seemed to have no meaning, Yi'an asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is this question so ridiculous?"
Su Yan smiled and shook her head. "No, weren't you going to take her to the amusement park? We can try that day."
Yi An immediately replied, "Are you going?"
Su Yan looked at him scrutinizingly. Yi An panicked a little and hurriedly explained, "I wanted to learn from your experience in getting along with her, and I definitely didn't want to do anything to you."
Su Yan no longer suspects what he wants to do to her, but rather suspects that he might not be a scumbag, but a human trafficker.
"I will definitely go." Otherwise, what if you kidnap our child?
Yi An was secretly delighted, started the car, and drove towards the Yi family villa.
Su Yan got out of the car and scrutinized the luxurious villa in front of her. To be honest, it really did have the feel of a palace that Duan Sisi had described.
Yi An raised her hand towards her and even explained, "Don't misunderstand, we're just putting on an act."
Su Yan nodded knowingly and placed her hand on his.
Yi An smiled and immediately grabbed it tightly.
He cleared his throat, forcing himself to appear calm, and walked inside.
Su Yan's gaze was fixed on the hand he was holding. "Are you sure you want to hold hands if you're just pretending?"
"If we're just putting on an act, how will anyone believe us if we don't go all the way? Let's just bear with each other for a bit, it'll be over soon."
Yi'an outwardly comforted her, but inwardly she was overjoyed.
Why are your little hands still so soft and squishy, like a child's?
Upon hearing footsteps, Wu Fen immediately went to the door. When she saw Yi An holding Su Yan's hand, she was stunned.
It took me a while to realize what was happening.
She asked with a smile, "Is this Miss Su?"
Yi An nodded and introduced Su Yan: "This is Aunt Wu, the family's nanny. She watched me grow up and is like family to me."
Su Yan nodded politely to Wu Fen and greeted her, "Hello, Aunt Wu."
Wu Fen's face lit up with joy when she saw Su Yan's outstanding appearance.
"Miss Su is really beautiful, and she looks like she has a blessed life."
Su Yan had heard countless people praise her appearance, but this was the first time she had heard someone say she looked blessed.
She immediately expressed her gratitude: "Thank you so much for praising me, Aunt Wu. I'm almost embarrassed."
Wu Fen realized that they had been standing at the door for too long, so she quickly ushered them inside.
"Miss Su, please come inside."
As Yi An brushed past her, Wu Fen whispered something, and Yi An's expression changed drastically.
Although the sound was soft, Su Yan could still hear it clearly.
"Miss Lin has arrived as well."
This so-called Miss Lin is probably Lin Hui.
Yi An pulled Su Yan into the living room and, sure enough, saw Lin Hui sitting on the sofa.
Su Yan lowered her eyes, pretending not to see, and greeted Meng Jie opposite her with a docile expression.
Hello, Auntie.
Meng Jie looked her up and down, her gaze finally settling on their intertwined hands.
Lin Hui noticed it too, and the smile on her face froze instantly. Her hands, hanging down, gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, and her fingers turned white.
"Please sit down."
Meng Jie spoke up, and Yi An pulled Su Yan to sit down on the sofa.
The two sat side by side, truly giving off the feeling of a perfect couple, like a golden boy and jade girl.
Wu Fen was delighted. This was the first time Yi An had brought a woman home, and they were such a perfect match.
She stepped forward with a smile, "Madam, I'll go prepare the meal."
Meng Jie responded with a nasal sound.
As Su Yan raised her hand to pick up her teacup, she glanced at Meng Jie.
As expected, Duan Sisi's overreaction was not in vain.
Meng Jie just sat there, not saying a word, but she exuded an imposing aura, radiating authority without anger.
This aura is a strange thing; it's like one level presses down on the next. Even Su Yan had to give way a little.
Seeing the silent atmosphere, Lin Hui interjected, "Miss Su, it's been a long time."
Her words caught Meng Jie's attention. "You two know each other?"
Lin Hui smiled and replied, "Yes, I know her. When I went to help out at Brother An's company last time, Miss Su was Brother An's secretary."
A single sentence revealed Su Yan's identity and also reminded Meng Jie of what she had once told her.
Meng Jie chuckled softly, her face showing a knowing expression.
After Lin Hui finished speaking, she continued to say to Su Yan, "Miss Su, please don't be angry, and don't misunderstand. I'm here today because Xiao Bao kept crying and wanted to see his grandma, and I couldn't coax him no matter what I did, so I had no choice but to bring him here."
She spoke in a magnanimous manner, intending to provoke Su Yan and upset Meng Jie.
Su Yan saw through her thoughts. Anyway, she wasn't there specifically to please Meng Jie; she just needed to help Yi An deal with things.
Whether Meng Jie was happy or not, she didn't care; being able to watch a scheming woman's drama was even better.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Hui was secretly pleased, and hurriedly stood up with a panicked expression.
"Is Miss Su angry? Perhaps I should leave; it's really not appropriate for me to stay here."
She said she was leaving, but her feet didn't move, clearly indicating that she wanted to be stopped. However, Su Yan didn't say anything, leaving her there to see what she would do.
Just as Lin Hui was feeling embarrassed and had no choice but to leave, Meng Jie finally spoke up.
"Sit down. With me here, no one will dare to kick you out."
With that, Lin Hui felt relieved, swaggered down, and even gave Su Yan a triumphant smile.
When Yi An heard Meng Jie speak up for Lin Hui, she immediately stood up for Su Yan as well.
He patted Su Yan's hand, "Even with outsiders around, it doesn't prevent family members from having heart-to-heart talks."
Lin Hui's face turned deathly pale. She looked at Yi An in disbelief, feeling restless and uneasy, as if there were needles in her buttocks.
Su Yan was amazed to see Yi An defeat his enemy in one move.
She had no idea that Yi An was a master of palace intrigue. It's such a pity she didn't travel back to ancient times to become a favored concubine.
Meng Jie didn't intend to speak up for Lin Hui again and again; it was all thanks to Lin Hui's thick skin that she managed to hold on.
"Miss Su, where did you graduate from?"
