Chapter 69: The City's No. 1 Scholar's Son
Su Yinan smiled warmly and rubbed Su Leyun's little head with his warm hands. God knows how much he missed this feeling at school: "Le Le has grown taller."
"Yeah!" Su Leyun was even happier: "I will be taller than my brother soon!"
That being said, he is currently not even as long as Su Yinan’s legs, and the thing hanging on his legs looks like a delicate little pendant. However, this does not hinder his ambitions.
"Okay, big brother, I'll wait for that day."
After Su Yinan experienced the incident with Wen Jing, he grew up a lot. His parents' divorce later made him grow up overnight.
Not only did he dye his once colorful hair back to black, but after the final exam of his second year of high school, he looked at his grades at the bottom of the ranking list and finally decided to repeat the year and start studying again.
Wen Jing's experience made him understand that he needed to learn to be content. His parents divorced, and his mother finally left Zhou Guomin, who was completely unqualified as a father or a husband. Su Yinan suddenly felt that he could not always squat behind his mother's plump wings. He also had to grow up in order to protect his mother.
"Yinan is back. I was just looking at your birthday cake with your Aunt Fu. Come over and take a look."
Su Minghui was also very happy to see her eldest son, so she quickly pushed him to sit on the sofa and handed him her phone: "This is the reference picture the pastry chef sent us. She has become very popular online recently, and the cake must be delicious!"
Su Yinan took a look and chose a chocolate fruit cake that his mother and brothers all liked. Su Minghui was very satisfied and continued to discuss other things with Fu Siwen.
Su Leyun and Chu Yanxiao looked at each other and became excited: "Brother is going to have a birthday?"
Su Minghui nodded: "Well, we are going to have a birthday party at home this weekend. After the birthday, you will be an adult."
Su Yinan came back this time just for the coming-of-age party that Su Minghui held for him. Although he found it troublesome, Su Minghui insisted on giving him a sense of ceremony. Su Yinan could not resist Su Minghui's pleading and had to agree.
Su Leyun cheered: "Great! I love parties!"
Every party is very lively and there are lots of delicious food. I can secretly eat some of the delicious food that my mom usually doesn’t let me eat. Who doesn’t like such a party?
On the evening of Su Yinan's birthday, someone came to the Su's backyard to set up the venue for the birthday party. The next evening, the party officially began.
As the protagonist of the dinner, Su Yinan wore a well-tailored white suit. He looked both youthful and steady. Su Leyun, who was also wearing a mini white suit, also applauded and said he was handsome.
This birthday party was very lively. Unlike previous parties hosted by Zhou Guomin, Su Minghui did not treat the dinner as an occasion to discuss business. Instead, all the guests invited were close family members and friends. Everyone came to the party with the simple purpose of "congratulating Su Yinan on his adulthood."
After a simple ceremony, Su Minghui was about to announce the start of the dinner, but Su Leyun jumped beside her legs holding a bottle of milk: "Mom, I want to speak too!"
Su Yinan, who was standing next to him, didn't say anything. He picked up Su Leyun and held him next to the microphone. Su Leyun looked at the crowd below, not at all nervous. His eyes were as bright as a crescent moon. He imitated the male protagonist in the movie, raised the bottle in his hand, and said loudly: "Happy birthday, big brother!"
Everyone laughed, then raised their glasses together and shouted "Happy Birthday" in unison. Under the lights, everyone had a sincere smile on their face.
In a corner where no one paid attention, a woman looked at them with hatred in her eyes, and the empty bottle in her hand was crackling as she squeezed it.
"What are you doing!" The foreman found her standing there motionless, and hit her on the head with an empty bottle. Although the bottle was not heavy, it still left a large red mark on her forehead. She screamed in pain.
The foreman said confidently: "I brought you here because you said you can do anything. Why are you just sitting there and not working? That's why we can't hire people with criminal records like you!"
This person was Zheng Xiuru, who had just been released from prison not long ago.
Zheng Xiuru nodded timidly, not daring to refute at all: "I'll do it right away! Right away!"
She had a good attitude, and the foreman left cursing.
Zheng Xiuru's expression changed immediately, and she looked at the backs of the Su family with gnashing teeth in hatred.
That year, Zhou Guomin was sent to prison and Zheng Xiuru was also sentenced. Not only did they return all the stolen items, but they also compensated Su Minghui for the gifts Zhou Guomin had given her before. Their family had always lived a luxurious life, and they didn't have much savings to begin with, but now Su Minghui took it all back.
The house in the city was gone, and the three children were left unattended, so they were taken back to Zheng Xiuru's hometown and raised for a year. Zhou Yuqin had no chance to participate in any new activities for a year. When she came back, the entertainment industry had already changed a lot of people, and it was not as easy to get a job as before.
Not to mention Zhou Yuqian, who is so skinny that at first glance, you can only see four big words - malnutrition.
After Zheng Xiuru was released from prison, she quickly brought her children back to the capital. The family rented a house and barely made ends meet. Since Zheng Xiuru had a criminal record, it was impossible for her to find an ordinary job. Even the part-time job as a cleaner was something she had to beg for with great difficulty.
I didn’t expect that when I arrived at the employer’s house, I saw that it was Su Minghui.
Although three years have passed, Su Minghui still smiles brightly and actually looks a little younger than before. However, her fair skin, which she was proud of, has become rough and dull after more than a year of prison life, and she even has several more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
Zheng Xiuru couldn't help but touch her face and looked at them indignantly. If looks could kill, then Su Minghui's family would have died a thousand times already.
Su Minghui caused their family to be separated, so why can they still live such a good life? She doesn't accept it!
Just wait, you won’t be able to laugh anymore!
After finishing work, Zheng Xiuru rode her bicycle to Zhou Yuhan's school gate and called him to come out. She waited for more than half an hour before Zhou Yuhan came over slowly.
Zhou Yuhan had grown taller, his face was tougher, and his facial features looked more like Zhou Guomin, but he looked very impatient: "Why are you here again? Didn't you say not to come to my school to find me?"
Zheng Xiuru hesitated, looking at her last hope.
Zhou Yuhan is about to take the college entrance examination. His grades are so good that he will definitely be the top scorer in the city.
