Su Hui then gracefully stood up. She had been taken to the Su family when she was five years old, and the Su family had given her the best education. Su Hui smiled at the maid and prepared to go upstairs to return to her room.
Su Hui always maintained her ladylike image in public. She knew she was just an adopted daughter, and if she tarnished the Su family's reputation in any way, Su Qinghai might abandon her altogether.
Back in her room, Su Hui could no longer hold back. She opened her fist and saw that her palms were already bleeding from her own fingernails.
The true eldest daughter of the Su family has returned. Will she still have a place in this family? Su Hui is unwilling to accept this. If Su Ya hadn't returned, she would have remained the young lady of the Su family forever. But she has returned.
She knew that soon Su's father would announce to the public that the real eldest daughter of the Su family had returned.
She's just a girl from a small town, how could she be worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Su family? She must drive Su Ya away and let everyone know who is truly worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Su family.
Yes, and there's the Ye family, the most powerful of the four great families in Kyoto. Su Hui knew that when her mother was pregnant, she arranged a marriage between her and the Ye family. If the Su family had a daughter and the Ye family had a son, they would marry when they grew up.
However, since Su Ya went missing, Su's father has never mentioned the matter again.
Although it was a verbal agreement, a wealthy family would never break their word, otherwise they would lose their integrity. Su Hui originally thought that this marriage was a sure thing for her, but she did not expect that a Cheng Yaojin would come along.
Thinking of the handsome young master Ye, Su Hui's expression grew increasingly fierce. A wicked plan began to form in her mind.
As long as Su Ya is ruined, the eldest daughter of the Su family will still be mine, and the eldest son of the Ye family will also be mine. The prestigious Su family would never want a young lady with a stain on her reputation.
At this moment, Su Ya, who was sitting in the car, was listening quietly to her father talking about her grandparents so that she could know about them in advance.
After driving past a bustling shopping mall, Suya asked the driver to stop, saying she wanted to buy a gift for her grandparents.
Based on the information gathered earlier, Su Ya knew that Grandpa Su was a great painter, so she should like that inkstone. Grandma Su, having lost her granddaughter and her daughter falling into a coma, had become a Buddhist, and Su Ya chose a string of Buddhist prayer beads for her.
Getting off the bus was just an excuse; ordinary gifts would certainly not have caught the eye of the Su family.
So before coming, Suya had someone retrieve the things she had stored in the bank safe last time and give them to her.
Time was too tight, so we had to meet at this shopping mall.
After taking the items, Su Ya found a place that sold packaging boxes and asked the clerk to repackage them. Knowing that it was a gift, the clerk even thoughtfully tied a bow on them.
Suya took the gift and returned to the car.
"Ya Ya, you don't need to spend money. Your return is the best gift for Grandpa and Grandma."
"Dad, this is a small token of my appreciation for Grandpa and Grandma. Besides, it's not much money."
After hearing this, Su's father let Su Ya have her way.
He never imagined that Su Ya would give away gifts worth tens of millions. Not to mention the inkstone, the Buddha statue was made from the relics of a truly enlightened monk, which was sold for 15 million at the last auction.
After driving through the bustling street, the car stopped in front of an old-fashioned courtyard house. There were two large lions at the entrance, and above them was a plaque with the two characters "Su Residence" written on it.
Su Qingsheng and his group entered the courtyard house through the gate. Inside, there was a path paved with cobblestones, with a row of stone benches on both sides. Various bonsai trees and plants were arranged on the benches, which was pleasing to the eye.
An elderly man, around 70 years old with gray hair, wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, was pruning a potted plant with a pair of scissors.
Suya had already guessed that this was her grandfather.
Then Su Qinghai stepped forward and respectfully called him "Dad".
The old man cut the flower branch off with a single snip of his shears. Only then did he turn to look at him.
"Dad, this is Ya Ya, your granddaughter."
Su Qinghai quickly pushed Su Ya, who was behind him, to the front.
Upon seeing the girl in front of him, the old man's hand holding the scissors trembled involuntarily. He also saw Su Ya's appearance clearly. Su Ya looked very much like Su Ya's mother when she was young, and he could recognize her at a glance.
"It's good that you're back. Come on, let's go inside. Your grandma has been waiting for you to come back."
Suya could tell that the old man was very happy to hear the news.
That year, Su's father and his family lost Su Ya. Su's grandfather was furious and punished Su's father by making him kneel before the ancestral tablets for a long time. It was only after Su's grandmother pleaded that Su's father was released.
Grandpa Su also blamed himself. He originally didn't want Su's parents to take Su Ya on a trip together. He wanted them to leave the child at the Su residence and he would help take care of her. But Su's father refused, saying that they could take good care of her.
Grandpa Su didn't force them to let Su Ya stay. When the accident happened, Grandpa Su blamed himself for not sending more bodyguards with her, so that Su Ya wouldn't have been lost.
Over the years, not only Su's father has been searching, but Su's grandfather has also been searching in secret.
Because of this, Grandma Su also became a Buddhist. From then on, she only ate vegetarian food and set up a small Buddhist shrine in the Su family home. Every morning and evening, she would recite Buddhist scriptures and pray to heaven, hoping that heaven would open its eyes and let the Su family find their lost granddaughter as soon as possible.
They had finally waited for this day.
Following Grandpa Su into the house, we found it to be a typical traditional courtyard house. Upon entering, we were greeted by the main hall, in the center of which sat a grand master's chair. Above it hung an ancient calligraphy and painting.
He took off his heavy down jacket and handed it to the servant who was waiting on the side. Having lived in the south for a long time, he was not used to wearing so many clothes.
The room was filled with antiques and solid wood furniture, each piece quite expensive. There was a side room on each side; the door to the left side room was closed, but in the right side room, Su Ya immediately saw a kind and gentle old lady talking to someone beside her with her head bowed. She was clutching a handkerchief in her hand, one corner of which was slightly wrinkled. It looked like the old lady had just been crying.
The servant wanted to speak, but Su Ya stopped him in his tracks with a look, and Grandpa Su wanted to go up, but Su Ya also pulled him back.
Suya quietly approached alone, like a cat, without making a sound.
"Grandma, don't be sad. Hasn't the eldest young lady been found?"
“But my youngest son came back and told me that he found his beloved granddaughter in a small town in the south. She lived in a dilapidated courtyard and was dressed in plain clothes. I don’t know how much hardship she has suffered over the years. My heart aches when I think about this. She was such a good child. She should have been the eldest daughter of the Su family, living a life of luxury since childhood.”
"My dear old lady, Miss will be back soon, so please don't worry about those things. Her life will only get better from now on."
After listening to all this quietly, Su Ya was surprised that the old man cared about her so much, so she stepped forward and called out to him.
"Grandma, I'm home."
When Grandma Su heard the word "Grandma," her hand trembled, and the handkerchief fell to the ground.
Although I had made preparations, I never expected that when I actually experienced it, I would realize how much I had been looking forward to the arrival of this child.
Her beloved granddaughter really came back.
Grandma Su then looked up and saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old standing in front of her, smiling at her. The old lady's heart melted.
Looking at the face that resembled her daughter-in-law so closely, Grandma Su was extremely excited. It was her, it was her, this was her dear granddaughter.
“My dear Ya Ya, you have suffered so much all these years. Grandma should have let your father keep you at home. That way you wouldn’t have suffered for nothing.”
The family doctor had said that the old lady, being so young, shouldn't experience extreme joy or sorrow. The woman standing nearby, fearing the old lady would become too agitated, wanted to step forward and stop her.
Then Su Ya continued, "Grandma, let's not talk about the past. Look at me, I'm back. Look closely, I'm not missing an arm or a leg, and I swear I haven't lost a single hair."
