Ni Sitian and Xiang Zhilan parted ways at the entrance of the early education center. As soon as she got home, she called Xu Tingchuan.
Unexpectedly, the phone still wouldn't go through. She frowned and then dialed Secretary Xue's number.
This business trip was not accompanied by a special assistant or secretary, but Secretary Xue always booked the hotel and airfare, so she called to ask for the hotel's name, then looked up the number and dialed the front desk.
She left a message after learning from the front desk that he was not in the room.
Was he angry with her, or was there something really important that prevented him from turning on his phone?
Feeling uneasy, Ni Sitian put down her phone and went to the kitchen to make afternoon snacks for Tuantuan.
The day after tomorrow is Tuantuan's birthday, and I still need to buy her a gift.
Ni Sitian was slicing a banana when she suddenly paused. She realized that Xu Tingchuan's birthday was at the beginning of next month, something she had almost forgotten. She needed to prepare a gift for him.
After finishing the dessert, Ni Sitian put it aside, grabbed her bag and coat, and went out.
She didn't bother Xiao Zhang and drove off by herself.
She had gotten her driver's license a long time ago, but had never driven it. After renewing her license, she picked up driving skills again.
Although it was driving very slowly, it was quite stable.
After arriving at the mall and parking her car, Ni Sitian started shopping by herself.
She really wanted to buy everything she saw for the father and son, so in the end she was carrying big bags and small bags again. She glanced at the time and realized it was past lunchtime, so she just found a restaurant nearby.
She had planned it all out; after finishing her meal, she could go pick up Tuantuan in a little while.
After sitting down, Ni Sitian picked up the menu and looked down at it.
Just as I was about to order, I heard a very hoarse female voice.
She recognized the voice immediately as Su Yan's, and when she looked up, she saw that Su Yan was sitting at the table in front of her.
Su Yan was speaking with her back to her. She was wondering whether to get up and greet her when she heard another familiar voice: "Sister, I'm begging you, I deserve what I got, the child is innocent."
"You're so good at showing concern for your daughter, but did you ever show concern for your father back then?" Su Yan rarely spoke in such a stern tone.
Ni Sitian froze for a moment. Who else but Su Yan would call Su Yan "sister"? Xiang Zhilan clearly did not acknowledge Su Yan as her sister.
Ni Sitian quickly raised the menu to cover her face, then secretly peeked out to look at the woman opposite Su Yan.
She was wearing a slightly tattered baseball cap, and her head was slightly lowered, but Ni Sitian could still see clearly that although her appearance was quite distorted, she could still recognize that this woman was Su Yan!
Su Yan, who committed so many evil deeds back then and then disappeared!
Her face looks very strange now because the effects of her cosmetic surgery have expired and she hasn't had any repairs.
Ni Sitian gripped the menu tightly, somewhat nervous. This woman should still be wanted by the authorities. How dare she appear so openly in Yihai City? It was a certainty that she had killed Li Rui. Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine.
“Sister, I know I wasn’t human back then and did a lot of wrong things. Now I’m getting my comeuppance and I won’t live much longer. Xiao Wan is still your niece. She’s not even two years old yet. If you don’t adopt her, she’ll have to go to an orphanage.” Su Yan wiped away her tears with her withered hand.
Ni Sitian then noticed that there was a child next to Su Yan, dressed in old and ill-fitting clothes, thin and small, quiet as if he didn't exist.
