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...
The teacher looked at her with understanding. "Xiaoyu's mother, I understand. I will prepare breakfast for Xiaoyu."
Su Yan was still worried and added, "Xiaoyu is used to living with me abroad, so she doesn't really like eating Chinese food for breakfast. If you have bread, just give her some. Don't go to too much trouble."
The teacher couldn't help but smile as she listened to her repeated instructions.
"Xiaoyu's mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xiaoyu for you. Besides, Xiaoyu is a very independent child, not that fragile."
For some reason, Su Yan felt a pang of sadness upon hearing the second half of the sentence.
She would rather Xiaoyu not be so independent; she would prefer Xiaoyu to need her.
She gave a forced smile and nodded to the teacher, thanked him repeatedly, and then slowly turned and drove away.
She didn't go home, but went to Duan Sisi's coffee shop.
Duan Sisi hadn't seen her for several days. As soon as she saw her, she jumped up from her seat and quickly went to greet her.
"What a rare guest! Let me see who has graced us with their presence!"
She exaggeratedly looked Su Yan up and down, as if she wanted to insult Su Yan to death.
Su Yan pretended to be annoyed and slapped her hand, then laughed and said, "Alright, stop teasing me. I've been so busy these past few days that I've neglected you. It's my fault!"
Duan Sisi was relieved when she heard her admit her mistake and pulled her to a booth to sit down.
"That's more like it. Tell me, where have you been these past few days? You haven't even called once."
Su Yan took a deep breath, as if she had made great preparations, before carefully speaking: "Sisi, I found Chenchen."
"What?!"
Duan Sisi's sudden high pitch startled all the customers in the coffee shop.
She nodded apologetically to everyone, then turned and grabbed Su Yan's hand, asking anxiously, "Really? Where did you find it?"
Seeing her so excited, Su Yan smiled.
"This is a long story."
"Then get to the point!" Duan Sisi urged impatiently.
Su Yan: "I remember the last time I found a hospital related to Chenchen, it was through the information from that hospital that I found Chenchen's current address and located him."
Duan Sisi couldn't help but clapp her hands in admiration, "It's really not easy. It's been worth all these years of searching. You've finally found Chenchen."
Su Yan sighed deeply, "I thought that finding Chenchen would make my life happier, but I didn't expect it to get worse instead."
"What's the meaning?"
Su Yan shook her head, no longer wanting to bring up those unpleasant things, and took the initiative to change the subject.
"How have you been lately? Has your mother-in-law not gone back yet?"
When Duan Sisi heard her bring this up, she felt a deep resentment and bitterness.
"Don't even mention it. My mother-in-law has retired and plans to stay with us permanently. I've been actively trying to conceive, thinking that this would make me and my mother-in-law sisters in arms. But I never imagined that we'd not only be on the same side, but we'd become enemies!"
Su Yan frowned and glanced at Duan Sisi's belly.
"Still no movement?"
Duan Sisi shook her head in despair, "I wish I were as lucky as you to get pregnant, you could get pregnant overnight. Unlike me, I've worked myself to death and plowed the land, but there's still no sign of pregnancy."
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh when she heard her say that.
"You've been trying to conceive for quite a while now, why isn't there any sign of pregnancy? Have you taken your husband, Lao Ji, to the hospital for a checkup?" Su Yan asked tentatively.
This sentence reminded Duan Sisi.
"I think you're right, we should investigate! There's definitely something wrong with him!"
Su Yan listened to her confident words and said nothing more.
The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.
It's true that every family has its share of troubles!
Zhao Bo had just found a parking space when his phone rang.
He found it, and as soon as he saw Feng Lin's name, his mouth immediately broke into a wide grin.
"Hey, Linlin, I'm here, just outside the complex. I'll be right in. Tell the auntie to wait for me a little longer."
He gave a brief explanation, got out of the car, locked the door, and ran into the residential area with great enthusiasm.
Zhao Bo was about to jog towards Feng Lin's apartment building entrance when he heard gossiping voices coming from inside the courtyard.
"It really proves the saying, 'You can know a person's face but not their heart!' We've been neighbors for so many years, and I never would have guessed that Feng Xiuqin's family were like that!"
"Me too. Ever since I heard about what happened to her family, my heart has been pounding these past two days. I haven't been able to sleep well at night. I was wondering how a widow and her child could suddenly have a baby! I used to think that Feng Lin had a child with another man outside and was too afraid to tell him, so she used this excuse to bring the child home. But I never expected this... sigh!"
"You all better keep a close eye on your children! Don't let one of them get lost, and then who will you blame?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately echoed his sentiments.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhao Bo couldn't listen to it anymore and rushed to them.
"What nonsense are you spouting here!"
Among those gossiping, some sharp-eyed people immediately recognized Zhao Bo as the one who fought with Feng Xiuqin that day.
"Hey! Young man, are you the one looking for your child? What brings you here again? Has your child gone missing again?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bo's anger flared up.
"You just spout rumors without thinking! Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?!"
"Hey! What are you saying! What did we say wrong? We were trying to help you, and you're turning around and attacking us! How can you be so ungrateful!"
Zhao Bo immediately retorted excitedly, "I don't need you to speak up for me! It's better for you to keep your mouth shut than anything else!"
The person who was criticized also became famous.
"How dare you speak like that at such a young age! I'm your elder, after all. How can you have no respect at all!"
"Respect?" Zhao Bo sneered repeatedly upon hearing the word. "Don't try to act superior just because you're old! You should learn how to respect others first before expecting them to respect you!"
Feng Lin, who was observing from a distance at the entrance of the building, saw that the two sides were getting increasingly heated and the atmosphere was tense, almost to the point of fighting. Only then did she pretend to go downstairs to find Zhao Bo and call out in a panic, "Brother Bo!"
She ran to Zhao Bo's side in a few steps, "Brother Bo, what are you doing here!"
Zhao Bo was still angry. He pulled her hand down and pointed at the people gossiping, saying, "Linlin, don't get involved. I'm going to have a serious talk with these people who are talking nonsense today!"
Feng Lin looked panicked and hurriedly stopped him, pulling him aside.
"Brother Bo, please stop fooling around for my sake. What if you get hurt again?"
"Linlin, don't worry, I will definitely not get hurt again. I know what I'm doing."
