Li Yan was speechless when she thought about what Su Hanzhou had said before!
Su Hanzhou also felt embarrassed. "Mom, let's not bring up the past anymore. Aren't you very satisfied with Shi Sheng as your daughter-in-law? We are family. Since we are family, we should find ways to solve problems instead of bringing up old grievances!"
Su Hanzhou would do anything to win Jiang Ning's heart!
Li Yan waved Su Hanzhou's hand away, "Go figure it out yourself! I told your grandma before that there's only one chance. If you don't seize it, that's your own problem, it has nothing to do with us!"
She and Old Madam Su had tried to persuade him earnestly, but Su Hanzhou just wouldn't listen.
Now you know you regret it?
What's the use?
"Mom!" Su Hanzhou stepped forward and grabbed Li Yan's hand. "Are you still my biological mother?"
Li Yan turned to look at her son, feeling both angry and helpless!
No matter what, Su Hanzhou was her own son, and she really liked Jiang Ning.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yan continued, "Go back, go back to your grandma."
After all, Madam Su and Madam Shi had a long-standing friendship.
If Old Madam Su were to intercede on Su Hanzhou's behalf, there might be room for the situation to turn around.
Su Hanzhou thought it made sense and immediately followed Li Yan's footsteps.
The mother and son quickly got into the car.
This way.
Inside the Shi family's living room.
Although Li Yan and Su Hanzhou had already left, Old Madam Shi was still very angry.
If Su Hanzhou were young, it would be understandable.
He's already 27!
Is this something a 27-year-old could do?
Jiang Ning had just returned from outside and, unaware of what had happened, immediately went to Old Madam Shi's side. "Grandma, who made you angry?"
Madam Shi did not answer Jiang Ning's question immediately. Instead, she turned to look at Jiang Ning and asked, "Shengbao, do you know Su Hanzhou?"
Madam Shi was a sensible person, and naturally she knew why Su Hanzhou regretted his actions and apologized to her in the end.
She also knew that Su Hanzhou hadn't fallen in love with Jiang Ning at first sight.
Rather, it was a case of feelings developing over time.
When Su Hanzhou saw Jiang Ning in the living room, the look in his eyes was not one of amazement, but of shock!
He didn't seem to realize that Jiang Ning was the granddaughter of the Shi family.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Yes, I know him."
After saying that, Jiang Ning asked curiously, "Grandma, what happened between you and Su Hanzhou? Also, Aunt Su was here just now. Could it be that Su Hanzhou is a member of the Su family?"
“Yes, that’s right,” Madam Shi nodded, and continued, “Su Hanzhou is your Aunt Su’s son, and also the current head of the Su family.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's eyes were filled with shock.
When Jiang Ning first heard the name Su Hanzhou, she thought it was just someone with the same name. She never imagined... Su Hanzhou was the person she had been betrothed to since childhood!
Madam Shi's face was filled with anger. "I overestimated the Su family before. From now on, our family doesn't need to get too close to them!"
"Do you know what Su Hanzhou just came here for?" Old Madam Shi asked Jiang Ning.
"What are they here for?" Jiang Ning asked curiously.
Madam Shi snorted coldly, "They've come to annul the engagement!"
Annulment of the engagement?
Jiang Ning was completely stunned. "What engagement cancellation? Wasn't it just a joke that the childhood betrothal was just said in jest?"
She thought Su Hanzhou was just visiting, but during the visit, he upset Old Madam Shi.
Unexpectedly, he came to break off the engagement!
Because Madam Shi had told her that the arranged marriage was just a joke between the two families and didn't count, she never took it to heart.
Unexpectedly, Su Hanzhou took it seriously.
After saying that, Jiang Ning walked to the old lady's side, took her arm, and said with a smile, "Grandma, don't be angry. Anyway, I didn't take the arranged marriage to heart."
"It's not a matter of being angry or not! It's that the Su family is acting so unfairly. I have never mentioned the arranged marriage to them, nor have I ever announced to the public that Su Hanzhou is my Shi family's grandson-in-law. So why are the Su family suddenly coming to break off the engagement? If this gets out, people outside will think you can't get married! They are slapping the Shi family in the face!"
What was originally a small matter has turned into a big one because of Su Hanzhou's fuss.
In conclusion.
Madam Shi was truly enraged.
If it weren't for Madam Su's sake, she definitely wouldn't have let Su Hanzhou off so easily today!
Jiang Ning continued, "Grandma, then I'll pretend I don't know Su Hanzhou when I see him in the future!"
“Yes,” the old lady agreed with her granddaughter, “Let’s just pretend we don’t know him! We should avoid the Su family from now on.”
Just then, Jiang Ning seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Grandma, there's something I want to ask you."
"What is it?" Old Madam Shi turned to look at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning continued, "Let's go upstairs to the study to talk."
"OK."
Madam Shi nodded, and the grandmother and grandson went to the elevator and took the elevator to the study on the fifth floor.
After entering the study.
Jiang Ning then asked, "Grandma, did we used to have a maid named Sister Mei?"
In fact, during this period of time, Jiang Ning not only treated Shi Nanxing, but also began to investigate the truth of the incident from back then.
During her investigation, she discovered that Sister Mei was likely the most important breakthrough point.
Upon hearing this, Madam Shi did not ask her granddaughter why she was asking about this matter. Instead, she thought about it seriously for a while, and her thoughts were drawn back to a long, long time ago.
After a long pause, Madam Shi finally spoke, "Yes, there was a maid named Sister Mei. She was someone I specially hired from outside to take care of your mother when she was pregnant."
Madam Shi remembered every detail about her son and daughter-in-law very clearly.
She never dared to forget it for a moment.
"So what happened to her after that?" Jiang Ning asked.
“I remember that about two weeks before your parents went back to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors, Sister Mei’s mother fell ill and became paralyzed in bed. They called from their hometown and asked Sister Mei to go back to take care of her mother. So she took leave and went home. She never came back after that.”
"Who hired Sister Mei back then?" Jiang Ning continued, "Was it your aunt?"
Madam Shi shook her head. "I personally recruited Sister Mei."
Do you have any photos of Anita Mui?
"No," Madam Shi replied.
No photos were taken.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly, looking somewhat regretful.
Just then, as if remembering something, Madam Shi said, "Oh right, there's one!"
After saying this, Madam Shi immediately picked up a large group photo from the bookshelf.
Jiang Ning wasn't born yet at that time.
Shi Nanxing and the heavily pregnant Si Huashang stood beside Old Madam Shi. On Old Madam Shi's other side stood Shi Nanyue, Tang Gaoyi, and Tang An's family of three.
The housekeeper and a strange woman were standing at the very edge.
Madam Shi pointed to the unfamiliar woman and said, "Shengbao, look, this is Sister Mei."
