Chapter 9



In the past two years, Man-Fang seemed normal, but as a mother, how could she not see that her daughter had changed? She was no longer as happy as before.

The pain she suffered two years ago was still in her heart. Every Lantern Festival, she felt depressed, but she just put on a smile in front of them so that they wouldn't worry.

"Man-Fang, if there is anything, just say it out loud, don't keep it in your heart." Aunt Lian's eyes were full of heartache as she touched her stepdaughter's hair.

She thought her stepdaughter's abnormality was due to the Lantern Festival. It must be because this day reminded her daughter of her sadness that she tortured herself like this.

Su Man-Fang had warmed up and was holding a cup of ginger tea. She smiled at Aunt Lian, knowing that her behavior had frightened them. "Aunt Lian, I'm fine. Don't let Dad know about this, so he won't worry." If Dad knew that she was standing outside the door and freezing, he would definitely feel sad for her, and then blame himself for letting her marry into the Yan family.

When she was divorced and sent home, her father was the one who felt the most uncomfortable. He was always angry with him for not keeping the engagement and letting her marry so far away. When she was bullied, he, as a father, could not protect her.   She didn't want her father and Aunt Lian to worry about her, so she cheered herself up, not letting herself be immersed in sadness, and tried her best to forget.   Who knew that as soon as she saw that man, she couldn't control herself, and all the past events came back to her, making her emotionally agitated and difficult to suppress.   When she thought of that man, Su Man's chest shrank. She breathed secretly and suppressed her irritability.   "You are afraid that your father will know, what about Aunt Lian? Aren't you afraid of scaring Aunt Lian to death?" Aunt Lian glared at her stepdaughter unhappily.   Knowing that Aunt Lian was angry, Su Man's stepdaughter quickly forced a smile, hugged her flatteringly, and acted coquettishly towards her. "I'm sorry, it's Man-F's fault. I won't do it again. Aunt Lian, please don't be angry."   After being whispered to like this, Aunt Lian couldn't be angry anymore. "You girl, you always use this trick." She tapped her stepdaughter's forehead helplessly, and didn't ask why she stood at the door in the cold and wind, for fear of bringing back her sad memories.   Knowing that Aunt Lian was no longer angry, Su Man-F smiled and leaned into Aunt Lian's arms like a little girl. "Don't worry, I won't do such a stupid thing again." She said softly, closed her eyes, and swept the figure of that person away. No matter why he came to Nanxi City, it had nothing to do with her. That person never put her in his heart, so why should she be influenced by him?   Combing her stepdaughter's soft black hair with her fingers, Aunt Lian felt distressed for this poor daughter. Her daughter is so good, why doesn't anyone understand?   But it doesn't matter, her daughter will be guarded and protected by her and her husband, and no one will be allowed to hurt her again. After making   up her mind, Aunt Lian decided to tell what she and her husband had discussed a few days ago. "Man-F, you are 22 years old this year, right?"   "Yes." Su Man-F replied softly, still nestling in Aunt Lian's arms. "What's wrong?" She asked: she probably knew what Aunt Lian wanted to say.   Aunt Lian knew that with her stepdaughter's intelligence, she would definitely guess what she wanted to say, so she didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "You are still young, forget about the past, don't keep it in your heart. Your father and I don't intend to let you stay alone forever. According to your father's idea, you should just find a man to marry into the family and give birth to a child to inherit the Su family. If you don't like the man you find, you can just drive him away after you have a child." "Aunt Lian...   " Su Man-F couldn't help laughing.   "What are you laughing at? Your father and I are serious." Aunt Lian tapped her on the back of the head, not allowing her stepdaughter to take her words lightly. "Man-le, your father and I just want you to live a good life. Forget about marrying someone else. We are worried about you marrying someone else. It's better for you to stay in the Su family, find a man and give birth to a fat baby. Your father and I will help you take care of the child."   She and her husband didn't want to repeat what happened in the Yan family. Besides, those who came to propose marriage were all attracted by the wealth of the Su family. Some people came to the door and said that they wanted to make Man-le a concubine... Bah! They directly drove that bastard out and ordered them to cut off the business exchanges between the other party and the Su family. The Su family would not do business with such people.   The two old people thought about it and felt that they were worried about Man-le marrying again. It would be better to let Man-le stay in the Su family. Anyway, Man-le likes to do business, and the Su family's industry is also managed well by her. If there is a man she likes, she will let him marry into the family. With her and her husband watching over her, she is not afraid of being bullied again.   Su Man-le listened to Aunt Lian's words. She was not surprised by her father and Aunt Lian's plan. After what happened two years ago, they were worried about marrying her off.   Besides, a divorced woman couldn't marry into a good family. She knew what those who came to propose marriage were thinking.   She didn't plan to get married, but she didn't want to make her father and Aunt Lian worry about her. Besides, she really wanted a child. In this case,   finding someone to marry into the family was the best way. After all, she would have a child, and then give the other party some money to let him leave Nanxi City.   If the other party kept pestering her, she would then take ruthless measures... A cold light flashed across her half-closed black pupils, but when she raised her head, her beautiful eyes were as calm as ever, and the smile on her little face was still as elegant as water, like a crescent moon.   "Okay, Aunt Lian, let's do as you and father wish."   In less than a day, the news that the Su family wanted to recruit a son-in-law spread throughout Nanxi City, and everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about it.   Moreover, the Su family girl also said that she didn't require a rich education, but the personality and appearance must meet her requirements. As for what the requirements were, the Su family girl didn't say anything, only that he   had to please her.
