The moment Jiang Su heard Su Hongxing utter these words, she quickly agreed, “Sister, you’re absolutely right. From now on, I’ll focus on my studies. You won’t ignore me, will you?”
Seeing Su Hongxing remaining silent, Jiang Su clung to her arm and pleaded, “Sister, I truly realize my mistakes. From now on, I won’t ask you for money anymore. I’ll study hard and listen to your advice. When I start earning money, I’ll pay you back everything. All I’ve got left are you and grandma – I can’t afford to lose either of you.”
Su Hongxing felt a twinge of sadness in her heart after hearing these words. This was precisely why she had a soft spot for Jiang Su – they were both orphaned at a young age.
Su Hongxing was brought up by the Xiao Family, while Jiang Su was taken care of by Old Lady Jiang. In a sense, both of them were orphans with no parents to count on.
However, Old Lady Jiang’s appetite for money had grown substantially over the years, which eventually drove a wedge between them.
She longed for familial affection and so did Jiang Su, didn’t she?
Old Lady Jiang’s selfish and mercenary character had transformed the kind and lovely Jiang Su into what she is now.
If she weren’t hard-pressed herself, she would actually have kept Jiang Su by her side. But now, her own life was controlled by Ye Qilan, further diminishing her ability to care for Jiang Su.
All she could do was blame the scoundrel who ruined her life by sending her to Ye Qilan.
“Miss Su, Mr. Ye wishes to see you.” After giving them enough time for reminiscence, the man in the suit came in and delivered the message to Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing stood up to leave, but Jiang Su quickly grabbed her. “Sister, let me accompany you.”
“Stay here and mind your own business. Don’t cause any more trouble for me.” Su Hongxing noticed Jiang Su about to say something and sternly ordered, “Behave!”
Jiang Su reluctantly backed away and sat down next to Old Lady Jiang.
Su Hongxing was led by the man in the suit to an elegantly furnished room. As she entered, Ye Qilan was relishing his tea. Seeing her, Ye Qilan beckoned her, “Come.”
Su Hongxing stood still without moving a muscle.
Seeing her expression, Ye Qilan handed her a cup of tea, “Don’t look at me like that. You chose this path yourself. If you blame someone, blame your own soft heart.”
He said she told him she would sever all ties with Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Su so he couldn’t threaten her. But he would prove to her with facts that her heart was not solid enough.
“Have you ever thought about how displeased the Cao Family would be, knowing that you are mingling with your ex-wife while marrying Cao Shiyu at the same time?” Su Hongxing asked coldly.
“What do I care if they’re not pleased? Who I want and with whom I choose to be involves no one else’s business!” Ye Qilan responded nonchalantly.
Any threats against him would be negated, even from the Cao Family!
“What about Cao Shiyu? Don’t you care about her feelings?” Su Hongxing continued her cold questioning.
“She seems very obedient…”
“Ye Qilan, are you deceiving me or yourself? Today, Cao Shiyu gave me five million yuan trying to send me away from Taicheng, because she knows that you still want to have relations with me after our divorce. No woman would be generous enough to tolerate her husband having a deep entanglement with another woman.” Su Hongxing interrupted Ye Qilan, “Don’t forget, so far, you haven’t married her yet. Aren’t you afraid that because of me, she might refuse to marry you in the end?”
“She loves me, why would she miss such a wonderful opportunity to marry me?”
Ye Qilan’s words enraged Su Hongxing enough to want to tear him apart.
Who on earth would nonchalantly admit their infidelity, driving her to the point of wanting to beat him to a pulp!
