"You've finally gotten some peace and quiet, but so has your home."
As soon as Su Shaoyang left, the entire Su family fell silent. Even Wang Ma was a little unaccustomed to this sudden change.
Su's mother laughed at her, saying she had forgotten something.
The house was originally very quiet, but Yan Can brought them many unexpected joys and laughter.
Wang Ma thought for a moment and said, "What Madam says is true."
Chairman Su and his colleagues are very busy with work. It's fine if they don't go on business trips, but if they do, they're lucky if they can come back even one day a week.
As for Miss Xiangxiang, she spends most of her time either at school or playing, and is rarely home.
During this period, she hardly went out at all.
"Is Can Can still not wake up today?" Su's mother glanced at the time; it was already 7:10.
Wang Ma shook her head: "I just went to check on her. The young lady is asleep, and she's still holding the doll that the third young master insisted on giving her before he left. It seems she really likes it."
Upon hearing this, Su's mother smiled and said, "She cherishes everyone's kindness towards her."
Wang Ma completely agreed with this.
Not to mention the expensive jewelry and clothes that the master and mistress gave her, even the little pendants that she gave her, the young lady wore on her clothes.
Su's mother: "I'll go check on Can Can. You prepare breakfast."
She went up to the third floor and just saw Su Xiangxiang coming out of her room.
Su Xiangxiang called out "Mom".
Noticing her clothes and the bag in her hand, Su's mother said, "Are you going out so early?"
Su Xiangxiang nodded obediently, "Yes, I made plans with my friends before the holiday, but I kept standing them up... Can I go, Mom?"
She looked at Su's mother, her eyes and tone revealing a pitiful and cautious expression.
This is not how Su Xiangxiang would act.
From childhood to adulthood, even when Su Xiangxiang did something wrong and tried to please others by acting coquettishly, she always had a matter-of-fact expression. She would admit her mistakes verbally, but her demeanor was always arrogant, as if she had not done anything wrong at all.
But now, she has begun to humble herself.
Even during her mother's brief silence, she said again, "Is that not okay? Then I won't go. Anyway, if they find out I'm not your biological daughter, they won't play with me anymore."
She felt wronged, but she stopped complaining.
This behavior caused Su's mother to feel instinctively physically uncomfortable.
She taught Su Xiangxiang humility and politeness, taught her to admit her mistakes and correct them, and taught her to treat others with sincerity...
The only thing I never taught her was how to be humble and subservient.
Even if a daughter of the Su family is adopted, she doesn't need to be subservient to anyone.
After Su Xiangxiang called for her mother again, looking aggrieved and saying, "I don't want to go," Su's mother said, "Go if you want, but be careful. I won't go out. Xiao Wang has nothing to do, so I'll have him pick you up and drop you off."
Su Xiangxiang's eyes widened immediately, as if she had received some unexpected surprise.
She said, touched, "Thank you, Mom! I love you the most!"
Then, after hesitating for a moment, she said that Yan Can's injury needed to be taken care of at all times, and that Xiao Wang should stay at home. She didn't need to be picked up or dropped off, as all the friends who were with her had driven.
Goodbye, Mom!
"I'll buy you and your sister gifts when I get back!"
A slight smile appeared on Su's mother's face, but her heart remained calm and still, like an ancient well.
No sooner had Su Xiangxiang left than Su Shaoyang called.
"Mom, is Can Can up yet?"
He also said that he seemed to have seen Su Xiangxiang leave the house.
Su's mother recalled her conversation with Wang Ma and couldn't help but chuckle, "Going to work won't shut you up."
Su Shaoyang snorted, "You misunderstand me. I am clearly a man of few words."
Su's mother: "..."
He then asked Su Xiangxiang what was going on, and started yawning repeatedly as he spoke.
Su's mother felt sorry for her and said, "You should take some time to get a good night's sleep and don't worry about things at home."
"I……"
Just as Su Shaoyang was about to speak, he let out another big yawn.
With tears in his eyes, he said, "Why sleep? We're about to start recording. We want the most realistic effect."
The director is urging us again.
Su Shaoyang kept it brief, saying, "We've all gone to work, leaving only you and Can Can at home. You're so soft-hearted, don't be fooled by Su Xiangxiang's pretense. Everything she's doing now is an act."
Su's mother laughed in exasperation, "Do you think your mother is stupid?"
Su Shaoyang said cautiously, "Isn't it because you've invested the most love and affection in her... Oh well, as long as you know it in your heart, that's fine."
Su's mother said, "I know."
Su Xiangxiang was dissatisfied with Can Can, feeling that Can Can's arrival had disrupted her happy and peaceful life and taken everything away from her. Although this was unreasonable, she could say it directly, and they would give her some money, send her away, and guarantee her a life free from financial worries.
While Su Xiangxiang affectionately called her "sister," she had already concealed a poisoned sword in her hand.
They've taken over Cancan's life, and now they want Cancan dead.
This is something she absolutely will not allow.
...
Before entering the room, Su's mother was still adjusting the camera.
I originally wanted to record what my daughter looked like while she was sleeping, but when I opened the door, I found that Yan Can had already gotten up.
Why don't you call her "Mom"?
Seeing that not only had she changed her clothes by herself, but even the bed had been made, Su's mother immediately felt extremely guilty.
"I'm sorry, Can Can, Mommy didn't take good care of you."
It would have been better if she had come up earlier.
Yan Can smiled and said, "Why is Mom apologizing? It's my own fault for not telling you when I woke up. It's not like you didn't want to take care of me."
She wasn't actually sleeping that soundly.
Knowing that her father and the others had come to her room after getting up, Su Shaozhou and Su Shaoze came to see her again before she left.
And Su's mother came countless times.
Su's mother said, "My daughter, you don't need to be so sensible. It's okay for you to be a little willful. You can complain to me with a clear conscience about why you didn't see me the first thing after you woke up."
She seems to really need Yan Can to do this.
Yan Can then showed a slightly aggrieved expression, "Then why isn't Mom in the room?"
This is what Su's mother wanted to hear.
But her first reaction wasn't happiness, but rather an overwhelming sense of suffocation and heartache.
Did Can Can ask Ye Lan the same question when she was little?
How did Ye Lan respond?
Was it as the investigation data suggested, involving frequent beatings and verbal abuse, or verbal suppression and mockery? Or perhaps they found her clingy and abandoned her to Yan Zhuo, who was equally helpless?
"Please don't cry."
Yan Can never expected that just one sentence from her would bring Su's mother to tears.
She hurriedly looked for tissues to wipe away her mother's tears, but before she could even lift her hand, she was enveloped in a warm and soft embrace.
"Mom is sorry."
"We didn't notice anything was wrong in time, which led to you being stranded for so many years and having such a hard life..."
Since Yan Can returned, Su's mother's reaction has remained stable.
It turns out it was pressed down.
Now, she held Yan Can tightly, sobbing uncontrollably as she released all the emotions she had suppressed for so long.
Her beloved daughter.
In a place she can't see.
It grows wildly like weeds.
She has grown into the best-looking person in the world.
