The rain was pouring down, making a loud pattering sound, but Su Qingqing's incredibly resentful voice was still clearly audible.
"Su Yaoyao, let me tell you, back then, your mother had an affair with some random man in order to marry my father. After you were born, she blamed my father for it. My father had no choice but to abandon my mother and marry that slut, your mother! But what he didn't know was that my mother was also pregnant with me at that time."
Su Qingqing's small face was twisted with hatred. Who knew what kind of life Su Yaoyao was living while she was living like a princess in the Su family?
She was clearly the only daughter of the Su family, yet she had to bear the stigma of being an illegitimate child.
Her mother, who should have been the respectable Mrs. Su, was criticized for being a mistress who usurped her position.
All of this was caused by Su Yaoyao and Mu Qian, shouldn't she hate them?
"Impossible...impossible..."
Su Yaoyao's eyes were glazed over, her pale lips trembled slightly, and she murmured, "How could she not be the biological daughter of the Su family?"
Su Qingqing smiled sarcastically; "If you weren't still useful to the Su family, you would have been kicked out of the Su family the year Mu Qian died!"
At this point, Su Qingqing seemed to remember something and a wicked smile crept across her face.
"Oh right, Su Yaoyao, I forgot to tell you, these ashes aren't actually Mu Qian's, they're just the ashes of a stray dog... Your mother's body is gone, so where would the ashes come from? Hahaha!"
Seeing Su Yaoyao's expression stiffen inch by inch, she continued, "By the way, I killed that dog myself and had it burned. Su Yaoyao, isn't that funny? You actually called a female dog 'Mom'... Ha... Ha."
She laughed wildly, but her pretty little face was full of frost.
"Su Qingqing, you..."
Su Yaoyao clenched her fists, her bloodshot eyes filled with both grief and rage; "You actually lied to me!"
Su Qingqing gave a cold laugh; "It's because you're stupid!"
After saying this, she turned and left, casually giving instructions to the men behind her.
"This woman is yours to do. You can play with her to death or cripple her as you please, just make sure you don't hurt her."
Su Yaoyao was overwhelmed with grief, and Su Qingqing's words, mixed with the sound of rain, were chilling to the bone.
"Little beauty, don't be sad, your brother will take good care of you later!"
A man stepped forward and, while speaking, reached out to grab Su Yaoyao.
Just as the man's large hand was about to touch Su Yaoyao, a cold and piercing voice rang out through the rain and into their ears.
"If you don't want to touch her, then go ahead and touch her."
Yan Yu was dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit. He held a long-handled black umbrella, which was pulled low so that only half of his sharply defined profile could be seen. Yet, the aura he exuded was enough to make people tremble, like a lion that made people want to kneel down.
"Who are you? How dare you... how dare you... meddle in other people's business! You just wait!"
Seeing that Yan Yu looked like someone who was not to be trifled with, the two left after uttering a harsh remark.
Yan Yu strode over to her side.
At this moment, Su Yaoyao was in a sorry state, soaked to the bone, with her hair sticking messily to her cheeks, looking like a dirty little cat that had been abandoned.
“Su Yaoyao…”
A faint, chilly fragrance wafted to my nose, and I heard a man's voice, clear and cold yet full of emotion.
She turned her head and looked up from those expensive leather shoes covered in mud. There were the man's long, straight legs, and above that, his sharply defined face.
"Yanyu..."
Su Yaoyao slowly smiled; "Why is it you? Why is it you again?"
Why is it that whenever she's at her most vulnerable, the person who appears by her side is always the one who shouldn't be there?
Unknown emotions flickered deep within Yan Yu's dark pupils. He concealed the complex expression on his face and stretched out a large hand.
"Su Yaoyao, get up."
Looking at the hand in front of her, Su Yaoyao's eyelids twitched slightly.
She didn't grab his hand. Instead, she supported herself on her numb knee with one hand and the ground with the other, and slowly and stubbornly stood up.
Yan Yu's hand froze in mid-air. Seeing that she was about to fall as soon as she stood up, he couldn't help but step forward to support her, but Su Yaoyao dodged him.
"President Yan, when you were hiding, did you hear what Su Qingqing said clearly?"
Yan Yu's expression was somber. Of course he had heard it. So she hadn't married into the Yu family willingly. So she wasn't unwilling to divorce for status and money. So he had misunderstood her.
He almost drove Su Yaoyao crazy, kicked her out in the middle of the night and let her be bullied by Su Qingqing. He was sarcastic and indifferent to her. Even today, if the contents of the urn are real, it means that he will destroy Su Yaoyao's most precious thing.
No wonder... no wonder Grandma personally intervened, and she still didn't want to return to the Yu family. It's because she got what she wanted, so she wasn't willing to compromise herself.
He was the one who wronged her. So, if that's the case, isn't he also half responsible for Madam Yu's illness this time?
Seeing his silence, Su Yaoyao smiled, her tone distant; "President Yan, even if something happens to me, with you protecting me, I can't do anything to Su Qingqing."
Yan Yu pursed his lips, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "Do you think I saved you because I was afraid that if something happened to you, it would implicate Su Qingqing?"
Su Yaoyao didn't know what his purpose was in asking that question.
Isn't that so?
She didn't know when this man appeared, but she discovered him when Su Qingqing broke the urn containing ashes.
He had no intention of caring about himself at all. If Su Qingqing hadn't had someone harm her, would he have even shown up?
The reason he showed up was simply because he was afraid that if something happened to him, it would cause trouble for Su Qingqing.
"Of course not!"
Yan Yu's voice unusually carried a hint of annoyance.
Su Yaoyao was slightly taken aback, dispelling the inexplicable warmth in her heart; "Could it be because you care about me?"
Yan Yu's jaw tightened. What could he say? He couldn't very well say it was because he realized he had misunderstood her!
Seeing his silence, Su Yaoyao smiled, a smile tinged with a helpless pallor; "That's right, I knew it... how could anyone truly care about someone like me..."
She suddenly felt a chill and involuntarily hugged her arms. Her vision began to blur, and Su Yaoyao's limp body slowly fell backward.
Yan Yu's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward to pull her into his arms; "Su Yaoyao!"
He patted the woman's pale face and saw that her eyes were tightly closed, and her face showed a panic she had never seen before.
He had already tossed the umbrella aside. Forgetting his germaphobia, he picked the woman up by the waist and quickly walked towards his car.
Not far from the parking lot, I saw two or three middle-aged women cutting grass with sickles.
"Hey, the night-blooming jasmine was growing so well, why are you suddenly asking us to remove it? It's raining."
"Hey, who can argue with that? What's that saying? If you want the boss's money, the boss will take your life."
Yan Yu was anxious, but he still overheard the whispers of several middle-aged women working diligently. However, he didn't pay any attention to them.
