Chapter 23 - Concealment
In the entire room, there were only two people, Zhang Fenglan and South Bridge.
Zhang Fenglan asked in puzzlement, "Eh, where's Little Yu?" He didn't come with you? "
"No, he has his own things to do and is busy. How would he have time to come over?"
South Bridge walked over and pulled the curtains apart. The warm sunlight suddenly shone into the room. The hair on South Bridge was originally a light chestnut color, but now the sunlight made it seem all the more transparent.
South Bridge sat on the sofa at the side and looked through the newspapers for a while. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the date was the day he had come to the hospital.
That's right, Yu Cen Ran should have suppressed the news. Nan Qiao thought to herself, if Yu Cen Ran was so capable, why did she insist on tangling with him?
The south bridge considered itself to be extraordinarily beautiful, but it had not reached the point of being absolutely beautiful.
Moreover, Yu Cen Ran kept saying that they had fallen in love
South Bridge's gaze drifted over to her mother, Zhang Fenglan. She was also looking at South Bridge and was discovered. She affectionately smiled and said, "My daughter has grown up and is so beautiful. If she could get married into a good family, she wouldn't suffer as much as me in the future."
Pausing for a moment, Zhang Fenglan then said, "Little Yu is good enough. Good character and money. The most important thing is that it's also good for you."
"Mom, why are you talking about this again!?"
Seeing that his mother was in better health and that her emotions were not easily affected, Nanqiao hesitated for a moment. "Mom, I want to ask you a question."
"Go ahead."
"Do we know each other before?"
Zhang Fenglan laughed out loud, "You silly child, why do you still have to ask me about this matter between you and Little Yu?"
Zhang Fenglan thought for a moment, then replied, "Before, when you were still in the country, I heard you mention it a few times, that there was such a man who was very good to you, I think it was just Little Yu."
Nanqiao creased his brows. "Should?"
"Yeah, you've been independent since you were young, so you didn't often tell Mom what's on your mind. At that time, I asked you who you were, and you even mysteriously told me that you wanted to keep it a secret!"
South Bridge tilted his head. After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Then if Yu Cen Ran and I really did love before, then at that time, did anything shocking happen between him and I?"
After two or three seconds, she said, "This is all about you youngsters, how would mom know about it? Besides, as long as Little Yu treats you well, don't think too much about it, okay?"
Seeing that Nanqiao was still staring at her, Zhang Fenglan sighed and said earnestly, "There are some things that will only make you suffer if you pursue it too much. Child, living in the present is good enough, why must you persist in the past?"
Zhang Fenglan patted the back of her hand and said, "All these years, if Little Yu hadn't been helping our family, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. "South Bridge, we owe them too much. You have to change your attitude and treat Little Yu better!"
Nanqiao was unwilling to accept this. "He was clearly the one who bullied me. You speak as if I was trying to take advantage of him and yet you don't recognize me."
Zhang Fenglan smiled and put the peeled tangerine into the South Bridge's palm. Just as South Bridge wanted to ask something, she was stopped by Zhang Fenglan, "Okay, I'm tired. I want to rest."
Nanqiao thought about what her mother had said just now. Her words seemed to indicate something, yet also seemed to be exhorting her. The curiosity and puzzlement in her heart became even more intense. She felt that her mother was hiding something from her.
Nanqiao still wanted to ask some more questions, but Zhang Fenglan had already laid down, so she had no choice but to stand up and help her pinch the corner of her blanket.
At this time, the door suddenly slammed, and a man walked into the room with shaggy steps. His hair was messy, and when he looked up, he was surprised to see that it was actually South Bridge's father.
Zhang Fenglan smelled the strong smell of alcohol and immediately frowned. She pointed to the door and told the South Heaven that this room was not welcome.
Nan Qiankun's face was also dark, but he didn't pay too much attention to Zhang Fenglan. He held a newspaper in his hand and walked directly in front of South Bridge, questioning, "South Bridge, tell me, what is the meaning of this news?!"
When South Bridge looked over, it was actually the news about Huo Ting and Gu Qiao. It had been more than a week since they last saw the dazzling scene. If it wasn't for the sudden mention of South Bridge today, they might have forgotten about it.
The South Bridge did not want to pay any attention to the Southern Heaven and Earth. Its expression was indifferent, as if it had not seen its father.
When he saw the attitude of the South Bridge, he was so angry that he grabbed her long hair and pulled her towards him with all his might.
Zhang Fenglan was so angry that her eyes turned red and she jumped off the bed to help Nanqiao. She was pushed away by the latter and fell next to the sofa, her waist was injured, and she was gasping for breath from the pain.
"Mom!" Are you alright? " South Bridge was extremely worried.
Nan Qiankun spat on the ground and cursed, "You still have time to worry about that stinking bitch! I'm asking you, what is your relationship with the man in the newspaper, hmm, and Huo Ting? Honestly! "
With a wave of his hand, the newspaper was thrown to Zhang Fenglan's feet. She bent down to pick it up, and upon seeing it, her pupils suddenly dilated!
South Bridge's scalp felt itchy and painful from being pulled. He felt wronged, and his eyes reddened. "That wasn't me, she was just a coincidence. She looks very similar to me!"
Before he could finish, the South Heaven and Earth slapped down, landing on the left side of the South Bridge, immediately producing a red and swollen five-finger mark.
Nan Qiankun sneered, "You want to lie to your father?! How could I not know that you are an only daughter, where did you get twin sisters with similar appearances! "
Come on, Nanqiao was too lazy to explain. She only hoped that her mother would believe her.
He raised his hand, and slapped over and over, not caring about the bloodstains that seeped out of the South Bridge's mouth. "You shameless bitch, I'll give you a free ride, you actually dare to do this kind of thing with men!"
"You also have the nerve to say that, have you ever raised me?"
He gave her a glare and asked Nanqiao, "Are you really going to marry Huo Ting? Since this matter has already been reported in the newspapers, Yu Cen Ran will definitely not want you from Huo Ting's family. Compared to Yu Cen Ran, which one is better? With this potential customer changing, this matter will be troublesome!"
"Southern Universe!" What do you take your daughter for! " Zhang Fenglan was so angry that her entire body was trembling.
Nan Qiankun disdainfully said, "A woman's beauty is her capital. The South Bridge is only because of her looks. She completely eats up the young master of the Yu clan. Otherwise, why would young master Yu take care of us for the South Bridge …"
As South Heaven spoke, Zhang Fenglan's body suddenly trembled. She rushed up and gave South Heaven a fierce slap. With a 'pa' sound, it was heard by everyone outside the door.
The slender brows of the distant mountain of the south bridge tightly knitted together. She faintly felt that the south and the sky had something to say, but were abruptly interrupted and did not finish.
