Xiang Shanshan cried, tears streaming down her face, and grabbed Su Xiangyang's arm, shaking her head desperately: "Xiangyang, I didn't, it was Auntie..." She bit her lip, her face full of grievance, "She told me to leave you, to never come near you again, but I..."
Su Xiangyang interrupted Xiang Shanshan and comforted her, "I believe you, don't cry. I brought you something as compensation." After saying that, he shielded Xiang Shanshan behind him and scolded Meng Shuyun, "My affairs are none of your business. Go away, you're not my mother anymore."
The boy's eyes were filled with nothing but accusations and disgust towards Meng Shuyun.
Meng Shuyun gave a cold snort and rode away on her bicycle.
This is truly a case of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai – one is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit. Let them be.
With Su Xiangyang's foolishness, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a father by accident.
She could only blame herself for being too talkative and hindering others from achieving "happiness." Thinking of this, Meng Shuyun's heart sank once again.
As Su Xiangyang watched Meng Shuyun's departing figure, she left without offering a single explanation, leaving Su Xiangyang with a strange sense of unease and irritation.
If it were my mother in the past, she would have coaxed me with kind words, bought me some good food and drinks, and given me some pocket money to comfort me.
But how could his mother be so heartless now, not even willing to give him a second glance?
Xiang Shanshan tugged at his sleeve, and Su Xiangyang finally snapped out of his daze. He forced a smile and asked, "Shanshan, why did you get out of school so early today? I went to the school to look for you, but I couldn't find you, so I came here to look for you."
Xiang Shanshan wiped away her tears and explained with her head down, "Something happened at home, so I came back early."
Su Xiangyang pressed her for details about what had happened, but Xiang Shanshan refused to answer, her eyes darting around as if she was afraid of implicating him. This only made Su Xiangyang more curious, and he insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
Xiang Shanshan twisted her fingers, lowered her head, and spoke with difficulty, "It's my dad. He broke his leg while working. The hospital said it will cost a lot of money for treatment and hospitalization. I'm not going to school anymore; I'm going to work too, I..."
Seeing Xiang Shanshan in tears again, Su Xiangyang felt a pang of heartache. He carefully pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her:
"Don't worry, I'm here. You don't need to worry about the money; I'll figure something out."
You absolutely must continue your studies. There's only one year left, and you might even get into university. How can you not continue?
"It's alright, it's alright, I'll raise the money."

Su Xiuju was busy in the broadcasting room all day, during which a female colleague's gaze kept drifting towards her.
This made Su Xiuju's heart pound with anxiety, wondering if she had done something wrong.
During a break, Su Xiuju hesitated for a long time before finally blushing and asking shyly:
"Um... Hello, I'm Su Xiuju. Is there something I did wrong?"
If there's anything wrong, please point it out.
The girl's name was Yu Xiaoli. Upon hearing this, she quickly waved her hand and shook her head, smiling as she said, "No, no! I just thought your dress was pretty and wanted to ask where you bought it."
"ah!"
Su Xiuju was taken aback at first, then her cheeks quickly flushed red. She never expected it was about the dress.
“This was made by my mother herself, not bought.”
At this, Su Xiuju's lips curled up, her eyes filled with pride, "If you like it, I'll have my mother make one for you too."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoli's face lit up with a smile. She quickly took out the dried persimmons she had brought from her pocket, stuffed them into Su Xiuju's hand, and said:
"Thank you so much, Auntie! This dress looks amazing on you, it really flatters your figure. I want one like it too."
Girls, what girl doesn't love to look good? They chatted enthusiastically for a while, and soon became quite familiar with each other.
When it was time to leave work, Su Xiuju ran into Zhang Miaomiao downstairs.
Zhang Miaomiao's eyes lit up when she saw Su Xiuju's attire, and she exclaimed in admiration:
"Xiuju, your dress is so pretty!"
Where did you buy it?
I want to buy one too! Look how slim your waist looks and how long your legs appear! It's absolutely gorgeous!
“This was made by my mother. If you like it, I’ll ask her to make another one for you later.”
Su Xiuju was a little embarrassed by the praise and answered with a shy smile.
As the two were talking, a clear bicycle bell rang out. It was Li Dashun, who had parked his bicycle at the entrance of the employee passage.
Su Xiuju said goodbye to Zhang Miaomiao, jogged over and sat in the back seat, and asked softly, "Why did you come? I could have gone back by myself."
Li Dashun casually replied, "It's inconvenient for you to walk, but I'm going that way anyway. Besides, I also have something to discuss with Mother."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiuju lowered her head slightly, looked at the new leather shoes she was wearing, and thought to herself: If I walk too much and wear these shoes out, I'll be heartbroken.
However, Li Dashun is strong and healthy, so he won't get too tired. We can just cook him some good food later to reward him.
With that in mind, Su Xiuju felt at ease.
The Meng family.
Just as Meng Shuyun placed a plate of stir-fried vegetables on the table, the courtyard gate suddenly creaked open, and Jiang Xue walked in, supporting her swollen belly.
"Oh, Grandma, are you getting ready to eat?"
Why is there only one plate of green vegetables?
"Now that we've left the Su family, does that mean we won't even be able to afford pork?"
As soon as Jiang Xue entered, she shouted at the top of her lungs, her tone full of sarcasm and smugness. After entering, she brazenly found a long bench and sat down, acting as if she really thought this was her own home.
