Chapter 381 Su Xiao learns her true life story
After a while, Xiao Cui came back with some strawberries.
Seeing that the old lady's mood had stabilized a little, at least she no longer cried easily, Su Xiao washed the strawberries first, then gave them to the old lady and said something to make her laugh.
The old lady's mood had indeed improved a lot. While eating the strawberries Su Xiao handed her, she started chatting, "Is Yun Che that kid good to you?"
The smile on Su Xiao's face froze. She stared at the old lady blankly, then whispered, "He treats me very well and loves me very much."
"I'm glad he loves you. He used to be with Yingying... He was very good to Yingying back then, and Yingying made many sacrifices for him. But unfortunately, in the end... Don't worry, I'm not blaming you. Even the person involved can't control matters of the heart. It's just fate."
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"Silly girl, why are you saying sorry to me? He loves you so much that he would rather abandon Yingying to be with you. That shows you have your strengths. You deserve it, but..." The old lady paused, "I'm afraid this character of his will will become a habit. He's treating you well now, but if he meets someone else in the future, will history repeat itself? So you... Hey!"
The old lady sighed.
Su Xiao understood that the old lady was genuinely doing this for her own good, so she comforted her. "My mother once told me that everyone in this world is destined to experience ups and downs. It's no big deal, and we'll always get through it. No one can predict the future, so just grasp the present. He treats me well now, and I love him too. We can talk about the future later. If we really can't go on, then we won't force it."
"You have this mentality, which is much more insightful than Yingying. You raised her... Your mother educated her well. She must be a very good woman."
"Well, my mother is very good. She loves me very much and is very capable. She runs this family!" Su Xiao told the truth.
The old lady looked at the pride in her eyes when she talked about her adoptive mother, and sighed in her heart, inevitably comparing her to Lan Qiuling.
Qiu Ling is not as good as others!
Suddenly, the old lady's eyes were filled with tears again.
She suddenly thought that even though her adoptive mother was so kind, Lan Qiuling still rejected Su Xiao so much. Perhaps even Su Xiao might not be willing to come back.
"Why are you crying again?" Su Xiao asked hurriedly.
The old lady wiped her tears and choked up as she said, "It's okay, don't worry. I heard your story and I'm happy for you that you have such a good mother."
"Thank you!" Su Xiao didn't think much about it.
Everyone continued chatting. The old lady asked Su Xiao about some things from her childhood. Su Xiao did not hide anything. She used to feel embarrassed about her family background and she dared not reveal a word in front of her classmates, but she had no scruples in front of the old lady. She thought maybe it was because she knew the old lady was a good person and would not laugh at her.
This way, they stayed for several hours. Only when Su Xiao saw that she had to go pick up Nini from school did she say goodbye.
The old lady held her hand reluctantly, as if once she let her go, she would never see her again.
"Will you still come to see me? Can you come again tomorrow? Can you come and talk to me every day?" the old lady sobbed.
Su Xiao looked at this with a sad heart. In fact, this was a very easy thing to do, but because of the Zhao family, she was destined to be unable to do it. If Xiao Cui hadn't begged her so much today, she would not have come, and she would not come every day in the future. She had a lot of things of her own to do, and the problem was ultimately with the Zhao family.
"You don't want to? You don't want to!" the old lady continued to murmur.
"I'm sorry, can you call me if you miss me?" Su Xiao couldn't help but burst into tears.
The old lady shook her head. "Forget it. I was just forcing you. Don't take it to heart. Go ahead, live your life well, respect your mother, and be good to Yun Che."
Su Xiao felt more and more upset, but she had to leave eventually, so she endured it, shook the old lady's hand vigorously, said "Take care of yourself", turned around and left.
As if she was afraid that she would not be able to help but look back, she walked very fast, and as she walked, she heard a hurried call from behind.
It’s Xiao Cui.
Su Xiao stopped, wiped away her tears, and asked Xiao Cui in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Cui's eyes were also red, and she looked at her solemnly, making a difficult decision in her heart.
Seeing that she had been silent for a long time, Su Xiao couldn't help but say, "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Don't let the old lady stay in the room alone. Go back and look after her."
"Sister Su..." Xiao Cui murmured, took a deep breath, and resolutely mustered up the courage to speak, "I have something I want to tell you..."
"Well, tell me what's going on."
"Can you come to see the old lady more often? You just saw how much she misses you." Xiao Cui was not so straightforward after all.
Su Xiao was slightly startled and said apologetically, "Well, I know, but Xiao Cui, you also know the relationship between Yun Che and me. You know who Yun Che is, right?"
"I know. He's Miss Yingying's husband... Oh, they're divorced. He's Master Yangyang's father."
"So, my relationship with Yun Che means I can't have any relationship with the Zhao family. I can't associate with the old lady."
"No, you have nothing to do with the Zhao family!" Xiao Cui shouted anxiously.
"Xiao Cui?" Su Xiao raised her eyebrows.
Facing her puzzled gaze, Xiao Cui swallowed her saliva and finally said, "Sister Su, if I say you are from the Zhao family, you are the old lady's granddaughter..."
"Xiao Cui!" Su Xiao was even more surprised.
"Actually, your real parents are Minister Zhao and Mrs. Zhao. When Mrs. Zhao gave birth to you, she thought you had an accident..."
"What did you say, Xiao Cui, don't talk nonsense!" Su Xiao interrupted her, feeling it was unbelievable and totally unbelievable.
Is she Zhao Zhixun's daughter? Is she Lan Qiuling's daughter?
How is this possible? It's ridiculous!
Xiao Cui shook her head and looked around at the quiet and deserted surroundings. She then narrated some recent events. "If you don't believe the old lady's paternity test results, you can go get another test yourself. The old lady should be able to provide you with a DNA sample from the minister's wife."
"Xiao Cui, stop talking. It's impossible. That's just the old lady's imagination. You knew she had some dementia, so why did you join her in making wild guesses?"
"The old lady does have some mental issues, but this time it's genuine. You can prove it yourself. She originally wanted to meet you when she asked you to come over that day, but the minister's wife stopped her..."
"Yes, it's because Mrs. Zhao knew this was not true that she stopped the old lady's behavior. So, Xiao Cui, don't talk about this anymore. I know you want me to visit the old lady more often, but I have already explained the situation to you clearly. I can't do anything about it." Su Xiao said hurriedly, turned around and walked away again.
Xiao Cui cried out, "Sister Su, I really didn't lie to you. The report really proves that you are a parent-child relationship. I don't understand why the minister's wife doesn't recognize you, but you really are the old lady's granddaughter, really!"
