Yin Jiao'e's beautiful face was covered in frost, and her phoenix eyes were fixed on Su Yunying, who was sitting in the chief seat.
She felt extremely unhappy and irritated whenever she saw Su Yunying living comfortably.
In her mind, someone like Su Yunying, who grew up in the martial arts world, should be a down-and-out, humble, and frustrated figure. Only in this way could she, as a mother, feel a strong sense of superiority.
Seeing Su Yunying being scolded, Liang Hao couldn't help but stand up and retort: "Old woman, what are you yelling about? My little sister doesn't want to go back, isn't that what you caused?"
I've never seen a mother like you. You finally found your biological daughter, and instead of showing her any care or affection, you give her the treatment she deserves.
She wouldn't even allow anyone to call her "Mother." If that's the case, then you must have some unspeakable secret behind bringing your little sister back.
Hopefully I'm overthinking it, otherwise, the small Su family can't withstand the wrath of my adjudication council.
Immediately realizing Liang Hao had guessed her thoughts, Yin Jiao'e's expression became flustered, and she hurriedly explained, "What secret could I possibly have? I just want my daughter to come home with me, so she won't have any problems hanging out with shady people?"
Liang Hao's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean by that? Who are you calling indecent?"
"Alright, brother, stop talking." Su Yunying stopped Liang Hao from saying anything more.
He then replied to Yin Jiao'e and her son, "Madam Su, Young Master Su, it's getting late. You should both go back. I've seen things clearly these past few days."
The Su family won't tolerate me, and I don't need to stay there and cater to your every whim. So, let's pretend we never met and go our separate ways.
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiao'e exclaimed, "How can this be allowed?"
"What did you say? We went through so much trouble to find you, and you think you can just sever ties like that?"
Su Yunying, you are the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to; I am your own mother.
She attempted to use moral blackmail to force Su Yunying to comply and go home with her.
But Su Yunying is not one of those inexplicably real heiresses in female-oriented novels who, despite having extraordinary strength, insist on seeking some ridiculous "family affection" drama, only realizing the truth after being reborn with her memories intact.
"Don't you only have Su Xuejiao as your daughter? This is my first day back at the manor."
You said it in front of everyone in the Su family, and now you're suddenly thinking I'm someone you carried for ten months?"
Yin Jiao'e was taken aback, then explained, "I didn't say that because I was afraid of hurting Xuejiao's feelings..."
"So you're afraid Su Xuejiao will be sad, and you don't care about my feelings?" Su Yunying retorted. "Then why did you bring me back? Just to see your family having a happy reunion?"
Yin Jiao'e was momentarily at a loss for words, then changed the subject with a cold smile: "In the end, aren't you just jealous of Su Xuejiao?"
You're jealous that she took away the life that should have been yours, and jealous that everyone in the household treats her well.
But you should know that it was Xuejiao who, on your behalf, soothed our long-standing grievances, and it was she who took care of us for so many years.
Just because you're back doesn't mean you can treat her badly. Do you understand that?
"I'll say it again, if that's the case, then why did you bring me back?" Su Yunying continued to ask, "And what is your purpose in bringing me back?"
Don't give me any fancy words about family ties. I've been back at the Su residence for over a month, and I haven't experienced what so-called family ties are like.
Since you think I'm jealous of Su Xuejiao, then let's just say I'm jealous. So, can I sever all ties with the Su family?
Upon hearing this, Su Jinhao immediately flew into a rage: "So you've finally shown your true colors! You're just jealous of my little sister, you're just jealous of how good we are to her!"
If you want us to treat you like Xuejiao did, you'll have to change.
"Change? Change what?" Su Yunying laughed, "Become like Su Xuejiao, a saintly white lotus in front of others, pretending to be pitiful in front of you to gain sympathy."
I'm sorry, but I, Su Yunying, have known since I was old enough to understand that such pointless tricks only waste time and energy.
Besides, I don't care about your cheap sibling affection. You should stay with your real sister.
Su Jinhao was speechless, never expecting that his biological sister wouldn't fall for his tricks at all.
Yin Jiao'e was clearly getting anxious: "Su Yunying, I'll only ask you one question, are you coming back with me or not?"
"What's the point of going back? To be at your mercy again? To eat your leftovers again?" Su Yunying pointed to the pastries on the table.
"Over the past month, all the meals I've had at your Su family's house haven't even come close to the abundance of pastries on this table. What right do you have to demand that I go back?"
Yin Jiao'e was furious: "You are shameless, Su Yunying. I have already given you a way out, you better not be ungrateful."
"Enough!"
Shen Zhao, who had initially been watching the show, suddenly roared, interrupting Yin Jiao's words.
"Mrs. Su, right? I've kept quiet until now because you're the little girl's mother, but your behavior is just too much to bear."
And who are you?
Yin Jiao'e glanced at Shen Zhao and felt that he had an indescribable sharp aura.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I want to ask you a question: Are you really Su Yunying's biological mother?"
Yin Jiao'e's pupils contracted, and a trace of unease on her face vanished in an instant. Then she raised her head and said directly, "Of course, it's absolutely true. She is my biological daughter."
Shen Zhao had already seen all of her facial expressions, but he didn't point it out on the spot. "Since she is your biological daughter, why do you still treat her like this and give her even a shred of the warmth that family affection should have?"
