In the hospital ward.
While the mother and her three children were eating together, Su Shaoyang talked about what had happened at home.
Yan Can ate the food that had just been fed to her, thinking to herself:
[This is Su Xiangxiang.]
[The house, things, and people she once looked down upon became priceless treasures after I arrived.]
[But this doesn't mean she has multiple relationships; rather, it's that she wants to repeatedly reassure herself about her place in her parents' and brothers' hearts.]
Su Shaoze gave a cold laugh.
Su's mother also felt somewhat nauseous.
She fed Yan Can another piece of meat, and then said that Su Xiangxiang was too willful.
[It's not that I'm being willful.]
Yan Can thought to herself.
Some people are born bad.
[You treat her incredibly well, fulfilling her every wish, and she takes it all for granted, believing it's her natural duty.]
[But if you do anything that displeases her, she'll think you've changed, and she'll speak ill of you and hold a grudge.]
Su's mother nodded secretly.
Su Xiangxiang is a perfect example.
It's remarkable that Can Can is so insightful at such a young age; one can only imagine what she went through during her eighteen years in the Yan family.
I remember when I was discharged from the hospital, my family gave me a lot of gold jewelry.
[Su Xiangxiang, who has never liked gold jewelry, actually told others that her family had never bought her any gold in the eighteen years she lived in the Su family, implying that the Su family had mistreated her.]
Su's mother's expression darkened slightly.
Su Shaoyang almost broke the chopsticks.
Mistreatment?
From the moment she was born, Su Xiangxiang received countless gifts.
But she found those gold ornaments tacky, so after collecting them, she would stuff them into a cabinet and never let them see the light of day again.
She even had the nerve to say that the Su family mistreated her!
[I don't want to think about it anymore; it's infuriating just thinking about it. There are just too many things like this.]
Yan Can started eating again.
Su's mother and the others suppressed their anger and focused on serving food to Yan Can.
After finishing their meal, the two brothers cleaned up the mess, while their mother went out to make a phone call to their father.
Su's father: "Buying gold again??"
Su's mother: "Yes, buy more so that Can Can can keep some for herself."
Her mood was off from the start. When her father asked her what was wrong, her mother told him what had just happened.
Su's father fell silent.
They really are ungrateful wretches.
Instead of being grateful, they only want to take.
After a while, he said, "I'll have my assistant go buy it."
Su's mother nodded, still a little angry, "She's jealous that we bought gold for Can Can, then I'll buy more and send Can Can gold every day, so she can see it but not touch it, let her be envious and jealous!"
Betraying her is one thing, but bullying her daughter is another. Does he really think she has no temper?
Hearing his wife's words, Su's father couldn't help but smile.
His mother told him to be serious, and he stopped laughing, saying indulgently, "Okay, whatever you say."
After hanging up the phone, she was about to go back when she saw her second son come out.
"Going home?"
"You've always been a germaphobe. You've been wearing these clothes for two days now. Go back and take a shower and change into something clean."
Su's mother straightened his collar.
Su Shaoze: "Mm."
Bathing and gold are both important.
He went home first, and when he came out after taking a shower, he saw Su Xiangxiang swinging on the swing.
"Second Brother!"
Su Xiangxiang had been staring at the small building, but when she heard the car start, she immediately jumped off the swing and ran towards him.
Su Shaoze instinctively showed a look of disgust.
This has nothing to do with blood relations.
Just as Su Xiangxiang knew that he had seen through her true nature and instinctively loathed him.
"Second Brother."
Su Xiangxiang came running over, panting.
She braced herself on her knees for half a minute, and before Su Shaoze could close the car door, she suddenly stepped forward and blocked the doorway.
Su Shaoze: "Get out of the way."
Su Xiangxiang wouldn't allow it, "Where are you going? Back to the hospital?"
She said ingratiatingly, "Take me with you. I'm so bored at home alone. I also want to go to the hospital."
At that moment, the butler came out.
He asked Su Shaoze what his instructions were.
Su Shaoze originally wanted him to take Su Xiangxiang away, but then changed his mind and let Su Xiangxiang get into the car instead.
"Second brother, where are we going?"
"Isn't taking this route a long detour to get back to the hospital?"
Su Xiangxiang kept talking nonstop the whole way, but Su Shaoze didn't even glance at her.
Until the car stopped.
Su Xiangxiang: "Second brother, are you going to buy gold?"
Su Shaoze nodded, "I heard from the third brother that you want to give Yan Can a gift, but you don't know what to give?"
Su Xiangxiang's expression changed slightly.
Third Brother has such a big mouth, he told Second Brother everything.
She said she wanted to buy a gift, but she didn't say she wanted to buy gold, especially in front of her second brother!
How is she supposed to buy it?
Watching Su Xiangxiang's ever-changing expressions, Su Shaoze suddenly found it extremely amusing.
He said, "Perfect timing. I'm going to give Yan Can some gold. If you don't know what to buy, just do what I did and give her gold."
Su Xiangxiang: "..."
Some gold?
How much is "some"?
One gold bar or a pound of gold?
Su Shaoze walked into the bank, where the manager, who had known he was coming, was already waiting at the door. Watching them talk, Su Xiangxiang felt a mix of emotions swirling within her.
Yan Can has just arrived, why should we give her so much gold?
"Xiangxiang, didn't you want to buy some too? Come here quickly."
After a long while, Su Shaoze's voice came. Su Xiangxiang was extremely unwilling, but she could only lift her heavy legs and step forward.
"Second brother, I..."
"I have to go out for a bit. You can talk to the manager yourself."
"..."
Su Shaoze got up and left.
