"Qingqing, please don't do this..."
Seeing her like this, and thinking of how she had taken care of her tirelessly for so long, Madam Yu couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. She reached out her old hand to stroke Su Qingqing's head, but Su Qingqing grabbed her hand.
She knelt on the ground, raising her delicate face streaked with tears, looking at Old Madam Yu with pleading eyes.
"Grandma Yu, please talk to Chi Yan, okay? Talk to him and make him withdraw the PR campaign from the internet and marry me!"
Su Qingqing, as if possessed, grabbed Old Madam Yu's hand and said.
Upon hearing her words, Madam Yu frowned and used some force to pull her hand back.
Her actions completely chilled Su Qingqing's heart.
"Qingqing, calm down."
Looking at her distraught face, Madam Yu sighed heavily.
“Chi Yan is my grandson. I know his temper. The fact that he announced at this critical moment that he and Yao Yao are not divorced means that he does not want to marry you.”
"Qingqing, you may have made a small mistake before, but after these past few days, I think you are a good child. There will always be someone who likes you, it doesn't have to be Chi Yan."
The daughter-in-law she had always approved of was Su Yaoyao. Now that she knew they hadn't divorced at all, the old lady was overjoyed. How could she possibly let Yu Chiyan divorce and remarry?
Madam Yu's words seemed to calm Su Qingqing down. She slowly stood up from the ground, a bittersweet smile on her face.
"Grandma Yu, I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now."
She wiped away her tears; "Grandma Yu is right. I shouldn't have said those things to make things difficult for you. I'm sorry."
Su Qingqing bowed ninety degrees to Old Madam Yu.
"Qingqing, it's not your fault, it's all Chi Yan's fault. Don't worry, Grandma will teach him a lesson and make him apologize to you."
Su Qingqing smiled and shook her head; "Grandma Yu, please don't upset Chi Yan because of me. I'm fine with anything as long as he's okay."
Seeing her like this, the old lady felt very uncomfortable. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but Su Qingqing interrupted her first.
"Grandma, you should rest well. I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll have to go now."
Knowing that she was upset, Madam Yu made an excuse to leave and did not try to keep her.
"Sigh, go ahead, be careful on the road."
Su Qingqing smiled and said "okay," but when she turned to leave, the smile in her eyes vanished, replaced by intense hatred.
She's been serving this old man here for so long, and now he won't even help her with this little bit of trouble!
They say Yu Chiyan doesn't want to marry her, but it's clearly that old man who prefers Su Yaoyao!
Thinking this, the hatred in her eyes intensified, and the corners of her lips curled up coldly, carrying a murderous intent.
Very well, since neither Madam Yu nor Yu Chiyan like her, then let those who dislike her and those who have let her down pay the price!
...
Not long after Yu Chiyan left, the hotel staff brought her clothes and some light food.
She took a shower, changed her clothes, and after finishing her meal, she endured her discomfort and went out.
Today was the day she had arranged to go to the oil painting exhibition with Jiang Wen. She suspected that Jiang Wen was Xu Xiaoxin, so she had to go.
She didn't ask Jiang Wen to pick her up; she took a taxi to the oil painting exhibition herself.
She arrived at her destination in less than half an hour.
As soon as she got out of the car, Jiang Wen, who was standing at the door, came over and familiarly took her arm.
"Yaoyao, you've finally arrived."
Su Yaoyao was momentarily dazed, and the sense of familiarity in her heart intensified.
"Have you been waiting long? Let's go in quickly."
She responded as she walked into the exhibition hall.
He Mo's oil paintings are very famous and rare, so there are a lot of people coming to see them.
Her paintings have a sense of living towards death, like a ray of dawn appearing in the abyss of despair, as if telling the world that no matter how much hardship you encounter or how much despair you experience, there will always be a ray of light in your life that can illuminate you.
This is why Su Yaoyao liked her drawing.
Suddenly, their eyes fell simultaneously on the painting in the shop window.
The sky in the picture is dark and oppressive, with large raindrops falling into the rolling river below. The earthen slopes on both sides are collapsed and scattered by the waves. The fierce river has swallowed up the crops next to it. Not far away, an old man wearing a straw raincoat has a helpless and fearful expression on his face.
The entire scene was filled with despair and oppression, but upon closer inspection, a faint glimmer of light could be seen on the dark horizon, as if it were about to cleave the oppressive and gloomy sky and usher in the dawn.
As if sensing something, Su Yaoyao suddenly asked, "Jiang Wen, when do you think we will see the light at the end of the tunnel?"
Jiang Wen smiled, though upon closer inspection her expression appeared somewhat stiff, yet she remained stunningly beautiful.
"It definitely will."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Su Yaoyao.
"Yaoyao, you..."
When she saw the smile on Su Yaoyao's face, she realized it was too late.
Back when she was Xu Xiaoxin, every time she came to an art exhibition with Su Yaoyao, she would always ask Su Yaoyao questions.
When will we see the dawn?
Su Yaoyao would always tell her, "It will definitely happen."
Jiang Wen gave a bitter smile. She was no longer Xu Xiaoxin; she had transformed into the apple of the Jiang family's eye, yet she still longed for a glimmer of hope.
Su Yaoyao's eyes welled up with tears, and a wave of bitterness rose in her heart. She couldn't help but wipe her eyes on Jiang Wen's handsome face.
"I know it's you, but I don't know why you've become like this. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. I'll be there whenever you want to tell me."
Jiang Wen reached out and took her hand, smiling. "Thank you."
Su Yaoyao then realized that the person in front of her was undoubtedly Xu Xiaoxin.
She reached up and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes; "We're all tired from shopping, let's find a place to sit down and have a drink."
Jiang Wen was naturally delighted; “Great! There’s a coffee shop over there, let’s go sit for a while.”
The two moved to a coffee shop and chose a seat by the window.
Jiang Wen bit his straw, his gaze sweeping back and forth across Su Yaoyao's face.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Caught off guard, Jiang Wen felt a little embarrassed and gave an awkward smile. "Um, I was thinking about you and Yu Chiyan..."
Su Yaoyao's smile froze slightly.
"Yaoyao, Yu Chiyan has announced to the public that you are his wife, but the audience can see all the things that happened between Yu Chiyan and Su Qingqing before. Now Yu Chiyan is being chased and called a scumbag by Su Qingqing's brainless fans. How do you feel?"
