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...
Su Yan and Su Xiaoyu had just stepped out when they saw Yi An walk into the elevator.
After Su Yan locked the door and turned to walk towards the elevator, Yi An pressed the elevator button right in front of her.
Su Yan watched helplessly as the elevator doors slowly closed. "Huh?"
She ran forward, but before she could catch up, she saw Yi An waving at her with a forced smile.
Su Yan looked at Su Xiaoyu with a puzzled expression, "Is he still angry?"
Su Xiaoyu nodded gently.
Su Yan was both annoyed and amused, and began to scold Yi An.
"A grown man with a heart as small as a pinhole."
She quickly pressed the elevator button and instructed Su Xiaoyu, "When you look for a boyfriend in the future, you have to be careful. Don't choose one who holds a grudge like this!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Su Xiaoyu's bewildered eyes and realized that she was still so young and couldn't possibly understand anything.
Su Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly; she was truly driven mad by Yi An.
After driving Su Xiaoyu to kindergarten, she called Xue Qinxin.
"Hey, godmother, are you free today? Didn't we agree a couple of days ago that I'd like to come and see you?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinxin immediately became overjoyed.
"Great! Your godfather is home too, come on over."
Su Yan got the address and went there.
Xue Qinxin's home is not far from Yi An's home. Standing on her balcony, she can just see the entrance of the Yi family villa.
Su Yan saw Xue Qinxin and greeted her with a smile.
"Godmother," she called out sweetly.
Xue Qinxin was overjoyed. She glanced at the things Su Yan was carrying and immediately said, "You're here, why did you bring anything?"
Su Yan handed the things she was carrying to the nanny next to her and replied with a smile, "It's my first time visiting, I can't come empty-handed."
Xue Qinxin didn't say anything more and pulled her into the house.
"You've come at just the right time; your godfather happens to be home today."
She turned to the housekeeper and instructed, "Go and call the master downstairs. Tell him that Yan Yan has arrived."
After giving her instructions, Xue Qinxin chatted warmly with Su Yan for a couple more minutes.
Before she could finish speaking, Su Yan heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
She turned her head and saw a portly man walking down the stairs. In terms of both appearance and demeanor, he was no match for Yi Ruihua, whom she had met before.
But it was this man, with his ordinary looks and demeanor, who built an astonishing business empire.
You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Su Yan stood up and greeted him proactively, "Hello, President Li."
Li Cheng wasn't pretentious at all, and said to her in a very friendly manner, "I just heard you call her godmother, how come you're calling her President Li when you talk to me?"
Su Yan chuckled awkwardly, then changed her address somewhat embarrassedly: "Godfather."
"That's right!" Li Cheng immediately clapped his hands and laughed.
Seeing Su Yan's restrained appearance, Xue Qinxin glanced at Li Cheng and scolded her impatiently, "Don't scare our Yan Yan. I went through a lot of trouble to get my daughter back."
"I wouldn't dare. Everyone knows you're a doting father! You finally got a daughter, and I'm not going to treat her like a goddess."
Li Cheng's smirking face earned him a roll of his eyes from Xue Qinxin, who was both embarrassed and annoyed.
"Stop being so cheeky!"
Su Yan listened to their flirtatious conversation, which was completely opposite to the atmosphere in the Yi family.
This is more like a married couple, while Meng Jie and Yi Ruihua's polite manner is more like that of business partners.
Li Cheng spoke a few more words with Su Yan, and then the topic turned to Su Yan's father, Su Xuehai.
"How is your father's health?"
Upon hearing this question, Su Yan paused for a moment, then took out a small box from her bag.
She gently placed it in front of Li Cheng, "I heard that Godfather has a project he wants to collaborate on recently, and this can help Godfather."
Li Cheng was a little surprised that she got so straight to the point.
"What's this?"
He picked it up and examined it for a while before slowly opening the lid, revealing the exquisite wood carvings inside.
A look of amazement appeared in his eyes.
"These things must be quite old."
Su Yan nodded in agreement. "Some of them are from the past, scattered abroad because of war. During the two years I was abroad, I found them by chance."
Xue Qinxin was startled when she heard this.
"Yan Yan, you've even been abroad?"
She heard about Su Yan from the nanny; Su Yan was clearly a divorced woman from a third-rate university, and nothing special.
Unexpectedly, after getting to know her, I found that she was completely different from the rumors.
Su Yan smiled and replied, "I spent five years abroad."
Li Cheng continued to examine the wood carving in his hand, and when he looked up at Su Yan again, his eyes were clearly different.
She was referring to these things, things that were easily obtained. But judging from their exquisite craftsmanship, they didn't seem like things that could be acquired so readily; they seemed more like things that were intentionally sought out.
Seeing that he was staring at the wood carvings without saying a word, Su Yan assumed that he did not believe that the wood carvings could help him, so she slowly began to explain.
"Godfather, don't underestimate these things. My dad is obsessed with, no, you could say he's obsessed with these things. He's spent his whole life searching for and collecting them. If you take these to him to discuss cooperation, he'll definitely feel your sincerity."
After hearing her explanation, Li Cheng let out a long sigh.
He carefully placed the wooden carving on the table.
"But I feel really bad that I took advantage of such a great act of filial piety."
Su Yan was taken aback, then immediately said, "Godfather, you're being too polite. Since we're already like father and daughter, it's my way of helping you resolve your worries, and it's also a way of showing filial piety. Aren't you afraid of hurting my feelings?"
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng immediately smiled.
"What a silver tongue she has!"
Xue Qinxin complained from the side, "Since it's our daughter's kind gesture, you should just accept it. Why are you saying all this?"
She was also afraid that Su Yan might change her mind at the last minute and ruin such a big deal.
After hearing what the two of them said, Li Cheng readily put the things away.
"Once I'm working with your father, we must have a good drink together and catch up!"
Su Yan's expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Godfather, there is something I need to ask of you."
"What's wrong?"
Su Yan looked at him seriously and said, word by word, "Godfather, you must not tell him that I helped you."
She paused for a moment, then cautiously added, "It would be best if he didn't mention a word about me in front of him, and just pretended that I didn't exist."
Upon hearing these strange words, Li Cheng and Xue Qinxin frowned in unison.
"Why do you do this?" Li Cheng asked.
