Su Wanwan brought her great-aunt home. Su Xingzhou looked at her great-aunt and asked curiously in a childish voice, "What's your name, great-aunt?"
Before Su Wanwan could answer, her aunt spoke first: "Call her Su Quzhen."
Su Xingzhou then asked, "When is your great-aunt's birthday?"
My great-aunt answered very kindly, "March 7th."
Su Xingzhou obediently recorded this information in his little notebook, and then flipped through the calendar to add his great-aunt's birthday.
When the great-aunt saw this, she was immediately reminded of her youngest grandson, who was also six years old when he passed away, and who also liked to do this.
The children in front of her touched her, and after looking at Su Wanwan, who was so sincere to her, she decided that since she was here, she must take good care of them.
As evening fell, Su Wanwan brought the food to the living room and was calling everyone to eat when Jiang Shengjun called.
His voice was full of worry: "Where did you go?"
Su Wanwan replied, "I'm home now, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shengjun's anxious mood instantly turned into madness: "Fine, Su Wanwan, you tricked me!"
Su Wanwan said smugly, "What's wrong? I'm just copying you. I won't argue with you anymore. I'm just going to play tricks on you."
Jiang Shengjun said angrily, "You just wait!"
Su Wanwan replied defiantly, "Fine, I'll be waiting."
After dinner, Aunt and Su Xingzhou looked after the child, while Su Wanwan and Zhou Shan washed the dishes.
The kitchen lights were soft and warm, and the stove still held a little steam from the food, filling the air with a faint aroma.
Zhou Shan said to Su Wanwan, "Wanwan, I've found a house in the suburbs. It's a small villa. The area isn't backward; the environment is nice. It has eight bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and ten bathrooms. You can buy it, and I'll rent your house. That will be quite convenient."
Su Wanwan agreed: "That's great. Let's go take a look tomorrow and then decide on it."
Zhou Shan smiled and said, "Let me tell you two good things about me. First, my first comic book has been published. I really like this free life."
Su Wanwan asked, "And the second one?"
Zhou Shan replied, "The second thing is that I met a very talented artist in the industry named Mecsy, and he turned out to be a man! And you even know him."
Su Wanwan thought for a moment and said in confusion, "Who is it? I don't have any artists around me."
Zhou Shan revealed the answer: "This person looks exactly like Jiang Shengjun, but is more emotionally stable and has a particularly gentle temperament."
Su Wanwan asked in surprise, "Jiang Shengyun's brother, Jiang Shengsheng?"
Zhou Shan answered affirmatively, "Yes, and he can also dance."
Su Wanwan asked incredulously, "Isn't he... in a vegetative state?"
Zhou Shan explained with a smile, "A vegetable? Impossible. He dances traditional Chinese dance exceptionally well, combining gentleness with strength."
Su Wanwan seemed to have discovered some incredible secret and exclaimed excitedly, "What? But in front of the Jiang family, he always acts like he's in a vegetative state, sitting in a wheelchair every day!"
Zhou Shan said, "Then let's not expose them. I guess they're just pretending to be weak to take advantage of us."
Su Wanwan nodded silently: "Yes, you can know all kinds of people, from the rich and top painters to hanging out with thugs in nightclubs and bars. You really make friends with all sorts of people."
Zhou Shan explained, "This is for my job. I need to portray different kinds of people, and some of the thugs are really loyal!"
Then she asked, "Is Xingzhou still unwilling to return to the Jiang family?"
Su Wanwan replied, "Yes, I don't want to. I still want to go to the suburbs. Now that my great-aunt is here, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to take care of these three children."
Zhou Shan said, "You still have me. From now on, you can focus on doing what you want to do."
Su Wanwan nodded silently and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Shanshan."
Zhou Shan said, "What are you thanking me for? I'm preparing to draw a comic book about cute babies. Although I don't like taking care of children, those two twins are quite adorable. But you need to take them to the welfare home to go through the process again, otherwise the children won't be able to get registered."
Su Wanwan responded, "I will, and I also want to find out who abandoned the child."
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Su Wanwan thought it was Jiang Shengjun, but it turned out to be Jiang Yingning.
"Is my Ah Huai there?"
Su Wanwan knew that the "A-Huai" she was referring to was Su Xingzhou.
Su Wanwan opened the door and let her in, "Yes, sister, take a look."
When Su Xingzhou saw her coming, his movements instantly stiffened.
Jiang Yingning said, "Jiang Huai! Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Are you going to be like your father, leaving without saying goodbye after going to fight drugs?"
Su Xingzhou sat on the sofa looking at Jiang Yingning, his body trembling involuntarily, and he hid behind his aunt, not daring to come out.
Su Wanwan was a little afraid of waking the children she had just put to sleep, so she got up and said, "Sister, I just adopted two adorable twins, a boy and a girl. Could you please speak a little more quietly?"
Jiang Yingning pointed at her: "Su Wanwan, I used to like you quite a bit, but then I saw my brother and my son. Look at what Shengjun has become. He does nothing all day but stay at home playing games. And my son, he won't stay in our nice house. He prefers your small two-bedroom apartment, which is even rented. What kind of bewitching drug did you give them?"
My aunt then stood up, still leaning on her cane, and said with great determination:
“Young lady, your grandmother is Su Suqin, right? Your grandmother and I were very close friends back then. Later, she used our Su family’s name to rise to power and obtained a lot of resources, which is why you have such a good education and can live a good life. Suqin has always been smart, so why are you so confused? Come to my room, and I’ll have a good talk with you.”
The tone of her voice was very similar to that of her grandmother, so Jiang Yingning quickly composed herself and followed the old lady into the room.
Su Xingzhou immediately ran to Su Wanwan's side and hugged her leg, pleading, "Sister, I never want to be alone with that crazy woman again, she's too scary."
Su Wanwan asked in confusion, "Tell your sister, what's so scary about her?"
Su Xingzhou said, "I feel like she has always treated me as a vessel for my father. My father likes to drink milk, so she forces me to drink it. My father likes to eat spicy food, so she forces me to eat spicy food. My father likes to wear a watch, so she forces me to wear one too. If I don't do as she says, she hits and scolds me. She also keeps telling me about her and my father, and then she cries terribly. I don't want to live with her."
She suddenly felt dizzy and advised, "Mom probably misses Dad too much, Xingzhou."
Su Xingzhou shook his head: "No, she is not my mother. My mother is not like this. Sister, please take me away quickly, to a place where she can't find me."
