Chapter 32 Mom, this is beautiful, I want to marry her.

Su Niannian greeted Gu Yuheng.

"I'll have the driver take you home."

Su Niannian: "No need. If my grandma sees this, I don't know what to say. Besides, there's a bus from the company that goes directly to my shop. I can just take the bus home."

In the conference room, everyone held their breath, waiting for Gu Yuheng.

Gu Yuheng hesitated for a moment: "Call me if anything happens. Be careful on the road."

Su Niannian: "Don't worry, I understand."

Su Niannian hung up the phone and went to the company entrance to wait for the bus. As soon as she arrived at the bus stop, a No. 28 bus pulled into the station. She boarded the bus and immediately rushed home.

Su Niannian's heart was never at ease the whole way.

She watched the scenery rushing past the window and prayed that her grandmother's leg injury wouldn't be too serious. Her grandmother had already suffered a lot of pain after her last fall, and it would be so painful if it got worse.

An hour later, the bus finally stopped at the entrance of the alley where the breakfast shop was located.

Su Niannian got out of the car and ran home. The backyard was the same as before, with a trash can at the door. When she was at home, she was always the one who emptied it, and it was always clean. Now the trash can was overflowing, and no one had emptied it yet.

She swatted away the flies with her hand and opened the door.

Under the eaves in the courtyard, Li Xiumei was sitting and eating melon seeds.

Su Niannian glanced at her, ignored her, and went straight to the makeshift house to see her grandmother.

But after opening the door and adjusting to the dim light, there were two single beds in the room, one missing a leg, and a broken desk propped up with bricks to serve as a table leg.

Besides that, there was nothing else, let alone any trace of Grandma Su.

Su Niannian immediately returned to the yard, beads of sweat on her forehead, and asked, "Mom, where's Grandma?"

Li Xiumei slowly spat out the sunflower seed shells, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

"Niannian, your grandma is fine, she's doing great. Mom called you back today because there's some really good news to tell you."

Su Niannian frowned slightly: "What is it?"

Li Xiumei stood up, walked to Su Niannian, reached out and took her hand, looking like a loving mother.

“Niannian, you’re not getting any younger. You’re at the age where you should be thinking about marriage. I didn’t want to make things difficult for you before, so I just went along with you.”

"But recently someone introduced you to a boy with exceptionally good conditions. He's the son of the village chief of a village near Beijing. He's 25 years old, about your age, and his family is very well-off. They have a two-story villa, and all their appliances are imported. The boy's mother has agreed that if you marry him, she'll give us an Audi and a dowry of 500,000 yuan."

Su Niannian understood immediately. Li Xiumei knew that her grandmother was her weakness, so she used her grandmother to trick her into coming back.

She said angrily, "Such good conditions, let's leave them for Su Xin. Doesn't she want to marry a rich man?"

Li Xiumei frowned.

"Your sister is still young, she's not going to get married yet. Tomorrow morning, she'll bring the guy over for a blind date. Don't cause any trouble then. This is settled."

Su Niannian didn't want her life to be at the mercy of others, becoming a tool for them to make money.

She turned and walked out.

However, Li Xiumei's younger brother was already standing silently at the door, blocking her way. Seeing her attempt to escape, he reached out without hesitation and grabbed her shoulders tightly.

Li Dahai was tall and strong, and Su Niannian looked like a little chick compared to him. He could only pull her into the makeshift house.

"Let me go."

Li Dahai coaxed, "Xiao Nian, your uncle is doing this for your own good. You've finally met a good family, so just marry him."

Li Xiumei then entered the makeshift house and stood at the door with a dark expression.

Su Niannian looked at her and asked, "Where's my dad?"

The only hope now is that Su Guowei hasn't colluded with them.

Li Xiumei: "I noticed your grandma hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so I had him take her to the clinic for an IV drip. Now, let me tell you, it's just me and your uncle in this house now, so give up on the idea of ​​having your dad save you. Just wait patiently for your blind date tomorrow."

Su Niannian found it utterly absurd.

For money, they disregarded her wishes and tried to force her into marriage, even intending to imprison her.

She glared angrily at Li Xiumei and said, "I won't go on blind dates, let me go right now!"

Li Xiumei clenched her fist: "Say it again."

Su Niannian looked directly at her and said, "I will not let you manipulate me..."

With a snap.

A slap mark instantly appeared on Su Niannian's fair face, and a burning pain spread.

"You've only been away for a few days and you think you're all grown up? You dare to talk back to me? If I don't slap you, you won't know who your mother is."

Su Niannian covered her cheeks, her eyes instantly reddening. She bit her lip tightly, stubbornly refusing to let the tears fall.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Xiumei would slap her at the drop of a hat. She was already used to it. She didn't want to argue with them anymore and just wanted to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Dahai, bring that brat's phone over, so she doesn't have to call for help."

Su Niannian's heart skipped a beat.

It sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

Her only hope was shattered, and Gu Yuheng would never know that she had been locked up at home.

She watched Li Dahai walk by, clutching her canvas bag tightly, but Li Dahai was too strong and snatched the bag from her arms in an instant.

He took out his phone and stared wide-eyed at the latest iPhone model.

"Sis, where did this girl get an iPhone?"

It's the latest model, so it must cost quite a bit of money.

This phone was given to Su Niannian by Gu Yuheng a few days ago. Su Niannian didn't want it at first, but Gu Yuheng said that her old phone was too slow and would affect her work, so Su Niannian accepted it.

Li Xiumei took it and looked at it over and over for a long time.

Then, with a long face, she said, "After working as your nanny all these years, I haven't seen you bring home a single penny. So you've been secretly buying a cell phone. I've really wasted all these years raising you."

Li Xiumei confiscated Su Niannian's phone and locked her up.

Su Niannian was hungry and locked up overnight. The next morning, Li Xiumei opened the door and threw her a red dress.

"You're dressed so unfemininely, hurry up and change into a dress."

Su Niannian hadn't slept all night, and her stomach was empty. She was so hungry that she felt she could eat a whole cow if given to her.

"Mom, bring me a bowl of rice, and I'll change."

She needs to replenish her energy so she will have the strength to escape later.

Seeing how thin and pale she looked from hunger, Li Xiumei worried that someone might not take a liking to her later.

He gave her a warning look: "Don't cause any trouble later."

Su Niannian nodded obediently.

After she finished eating, the matchmaker arrived with the man's family.

Li Xiumei spent a long time exchanging pleasantries with the matchmaker before Li Dahai finally led Su Niannian into the living room.

The man on the blind date was wearing a suit, his hair was neatly combed, he had a round, square face, and was chubby. He looked quite normal when he wasn't talking.

But his intellectual disability was immediately apparent as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Mom, this is beautiful. I want to marry her."

He clapped his hands, his facial features scrunched up, and grinned at Su Niannian.
