Chapter 70 Cuscuta
After Qu Lan finished speaking, she turned sideways and looked at Wen Shuqiao quietly. She saw her slowly put down the cup of water without any surprise on her face, as if she had guessed it a long time ago.
"Shu Qiao..." Qu Lan sighed.
Wen Shuqiao's eyes fell on Qu Lan. In the original owner's memory, Qu Lan was a very good mother, gentle and generous. She was the original owner's safe haven, and the relationship between mother and daughter had always been very good. Two-thirds of the reason for the original owner's arrogance was because of Qu Lan.
But everything changed after Su Sisi came back. The original owner actually comforted herself. After all, they were related by blood, and it was normal for her mother to focus on Su Sisi.
But she couldn't control herself at all. She wanted to use this method to regain Qu Lan's attention, but she didn't expect that it would make the gap between them grow wider.
Wen Shuqiao came back to her senses and Qu Lan was still waiting for her answer.
She asked, "Did the Qin brothers and sisters tell you that I was here?"
Qu Lan hummed: "Qin Sheng called your father. They didn't handle this matter well. I thought you might be angry, so I didn't come here immediately."
She looked at Wen Shuqiao gently, with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "Shuqiao, you really went too far this time. Qin Sheng is your fiancé after all. You are really giving him no face by saying this."
Wen Shuqiao did not speak, and Qu Lan continued: "But don't worry, you are the daughter of our Su family. The Su family will definitely stand on your side. If you marry them, they will not dare to bully you."
Wen Shuqiao did not interrupt Qu Lan, but did not speak either. He just listened quietly.
Seeing her obedient face, Qu Lan felt a little relieved: "Shu Qiao, as long as our family is united, we can live our lives in peace. What do you think?"
Wen Shuqiao finally reacted. She stared into Qu Lan's eyes and asked, "Qin Sheng likes men."
Qu Lan's expression paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
But this subtle expression was still noticed by Wen Shuqiao.
She continued to ask: "He likes men, do you want Su Shuqiao to marry him too?"
"What are you talking about, kid?" Qu Lan said quickly, "You and Qin Sheng are childhood sweethearts. Don't you know what kind of person he is? I know you are still angry with me and your father..."
"You know." Wen Shuqiao said firmly: "You clearly know, but you still want Su Shuqiao to marry him."
Qu Lan opened her mouth, but Wen Shuqiao was staring at her and she was speechless for a moment.
She did know about this matter. Not only did she know it, her husband also knew it, and Qin's parents knew it even more clearly.
"You must know the interests involved in the marriage better than I do. Su Shuqiao, a daughter who was kicked out of the Su family, is being dragged into the marriage. Don't you think this is ridiculous?" Wen Shuqiao said calmly: "Plus, at the last banquet, you told me that you just missed Su Shuqiao and wanted to see this little nephew, but when I got there, you just asked me to wait for the Qin family to come."
"Didn't you leave behind..."
"What if I didn't leave? Do we have to choose a date on the spot?" Wen Shuqiao interrupted her.
Qu Lan's eyes were red: "Shu Qiao, Mom is really sad when you say that."
"Ms. Qu." Wen Shuqiao reminded in a slightly cold tone: "My last name is Wen, Wen Shuqiao, not Su Shuqiao."
Qu Lan looked at Wen Shuqiao in disbelief: "Shuqiao, after all, I have raised you for more than 20 years! Now you don't even want to call me mom, are you going to quarrel with me because of this?"
"Who turned against him first? When Su Shuqiao left, who was behind the scenes fanning the flames? You have no idea at all?"
After reading the email about Qin Sheng's investigation in Shen Jiazhou's office, Wen Shuqiao kept thinking about why the Su family was so eager and what their motives were.
She actually found some details in the original owner's memory that she had not paid attention to before.
The trigger for the original owner to draw a line between herself and the Su family was that the original owner hurt and framed Su Sisi. Because of her identity as a vicious aunt, she had a preconceived idea that it must have been done by the original owner.
She didn't want to have anything to do with the Su family. After she traveled through time, she had to move and take care of Cancan, so she didn't go through all the memories of the original owner.
But when she carefully reviewed what had happened before, she realized that all the original owner had done was to warn Su Sisi, or to deliberately act coquettishly with Qu Lan and Su's father in front of Su Sisi.
The only actual damage was that he was so angry that he smashed Su Sisi's cosmetics.
But the original owner broke with the Su family because Su Sisi was pushed into the fountain pool and after being rescued, she bit to death the person the original owner called.
Not only that, they also called the person who did it over for questioning, and it turned out to be a little sister who often had afternoon tea with the original owner. The little sister also bit the original owner to death and said that it was her who was asked to do it.
The original owner tried her best to explain, but what she got in return was a breakup and Qu Lan's disappointed look. The original owner was kicked out of the house like this. Although it was not said explicitly, the rumors were spread privately.
It was said that the original owner was arrogant, vicious, ungrateful and an ungrateful ungrateful person.
For more than half a year since leaving the Su family, the original owner had always been in tears, not knowing why things had turned out like this.
But at that welcoming banquet, Wen Shuqiao saw the "little sister" who had informed on her. Wen Shuqiao sat in a corner, but she still observed a lot of people at the banquet. Among them, the girl who had been talking and laughing with Su Sisi was exactly the same as the girl in the original owner's memory.
And Qu Lan's attitude towards her didn't seem to be disgusted, but after Wen Shuqiao walked over, the girl disappeared.
Wen Shuqiao only realized belatedly that this matter seemed a little weird no matter how you looked at it.
She even felt that the original owner knew about this, otherwise, based on the mother-daughter relationship of more than 20 years, it would be impossible for the original owner to really not contact Qu Lan at all.
Wen Shuqiao's eyes fell on Qu Lan again and said, "Su Sisi jumped into the pool by herself, and that girl was also found by Su Sisi. You know all this."
Qu Lan remained silent, but it was enough to prove that Wen Shuqiao was right.
This time it was Wen Shuqiao's turn to sigh: "It's meaningless to talk about this. Ms. Qu, this is the last time I will say this. I have no interest in the Su family's affairs, nor in marriage. Please don't bother me anymore."
Qu Lan still didn't give up: "Even if Qin Sheng likes men, what does it matter? The Qin family married you seriously. When you have a child, whether it's a daughter or a son, you will have a share of the Qin family's property in the future."
"Emotions can be cultivated. Qin Sheng may have been confused for a moment." Qu Lan advised: "You and him are childhood sweethearts. He also has feelings for you."
"Confused?" Wen Shuqiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then go and let him drink Chinese medicine for conditioning, why come to my place?"
Wen Shuqiao felt that she couldn't communicate with Qu Lan, so she said coldly: "I still say the same thing, I will not have anything to do with your Su and Qin families, and don't bother me with your affairs. I can invite you in today, but next time I will only call the police."
Qu Lan wanted to say something, but Wen Shuqiao continued, "It's clearly written on the severance paper, and it's all signed. Su Shuqiao is dead, and I'm Wen Shuqiao now, just an ordinary person. I'm willing to be an ordinary person, and I only want to be an ordinary person."
She is just an ordinary person from another world who looks very similar to Su Shuqiao.
"What's so good about being an ordinary person?" Qu Lan asked, "I heard that you are setting up a stall outside with that child. Shu Qiao, I really don't understand what you are thinking. As long as you marry Qin Sheng, you don't need to work so hard."
"You don't have to worry about the daily necessities of life. The Qin and Su families can ensure that you can live a stable and smooth life. What's wrong with that?!"
Wen Shuqiao chuckled: "If it's so good, let Su Sisi go."
Wen Shuqiao knew from her previous life that good things would never happen to her. Even if she did, they would just be things that others didn't want, and would soon be gone.
Besides, she is not someone who is willing to be a bird in a cage. She would rather rely on herself than be a dodder that has to depend on others.
Wen Shuqiao knew very well what she would really face if she married Qin Sheng.
Besides, she wanted to beat that idiot's head more than marrying her.
What bad luck!
