Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mother Su was certain that Father Su would keep his promise. Recalling Father Su’s past methods, Mother Su tugged at Father Su’s pants, she did not even dare to cry. “I will not find trouble with Su Yan again, I will treat her well, I will.”

Father Su glanced at Mother Su. “I hope so.”

After receiving Father Su’s warning, Mother Su wanted to use the lychees that had just arrived to get into Su Yan’s good graces. But who knew that Su Yan was so stubborn and even brought up such a past. Mother Su could not hold her face anymore. Due to Father Su’s warning, she did not know how to say it, she could only look at Su Yan mournfully, her face slightly distorted.

“Big Sister, Mother is so busy but she still thought of you. You can’t treat her like this even if you don’t appreciate it.” Su Qian was angry and her usually gentle voice had a hint of toughness. “Big Sister, you should apologize to Mother.” Su Qian felt like she was protecting his mother’s dignity, so she turned around to look at her mother with a heartbroken expression.

Unexpectedly, Mother Su’s eyes went wide as she grabbed Su Qian and covered her mouth. She smiled at Su Yan and said, “Your sister is like this, sometimes she speaks without thinking. Don’t take it to heart.”

Su Yan nodded. “Of course. Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

Mother Su immediately let go of Su Qian and followed behind Su Yan.

Before Su Yan entered the room, she suddenly stopped. When she saw Mother Su behind her, she smiled lightly. “Mother, please tell Sister that it’s not wrong for her to pretend to be innocent and harmless, but she has to be careful. Don’t pretend to be harmless and in the end it becomes petty.”

When Su Qian, who had been following behind them, heard this, she immediately twisted her ankle and cried out in fear as she knelt down to massage her ankle.?Has she seen it? No. Has everyone seen it? But why hadn’t anyone said so??Su Qian suddenly understood what was going on when she saw that Mother Su’s earrings did not even shake when she ran worriedly towards her.

People in the upper-class society would usually save face for others and not hit the sore spot.?Was that why no one said anything? Did that mean that her petty appearance was seen by everyone at the banquet yesterday? Could it be that the topic of discussion last night was that she, the legitimate daughter of the Su family, was inferior to Su Yan, this adopted daughter??Su Qian fell into a state of extreme panic and began to gnaw at her nails. She couldn’t even care about her swollen ankle.

Mother Su panicked as she looked at Su Qian in front of her, she didn’t even know how to handle this matter. It was only when Su Yan’s lukewarm voice came from behind that Mother Su finally remembered to send her to the hospital.

“Su Yan!” After calling for the ambulance, Mother Su gritted her teeth and looked at Su Yan, who was still watching the show.

Su Yan smiled and asked, “Did you forget Father’s warning so quickly?”

At that moment, Mother Su felt that the smiling Su Yan in front of her was even more terrifying than an evil spirit. Finally, Mother Su dragged Su Qian down the stairs and waited for the ambulance to arrive.

Su Yan clicked her tongue. “What a waste of resources. She only sprained her ankle and called for an ambulance?”

Not long after, the sound of an ambulance could be heard outside the villa. It was a mess. Su Yan looked at the silent study room and raised her eyebrows. In her previous life, she thought that Father Su cared a lot about Su Qian.

So this was it?

Early the next morning, Su Yan received a call from Mother Su. On the other end of the call, Mother Su said in a rare kind voice, “Xiao Yan, your sister is hospitalized and doesn’t have much time to buy clothes. Why don’t you buy a few pieces for her? After all, both of you are having your coming-of-age ceremony in a few days. If your sister doesn’t look good, it would be embarrassing for you too.”

Although Mother Su’s words were still shameless, they were clearly more logical than before. Su Qian’s poor dressing would indeed smear Su Yan’s reputation. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

But what did it matter??Su Yan only answered, “How’s her leg? Is it broken?” What she meant was, if she didn’t have any fractures, why would she be hospitalized? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

Mother Su paused for a moment and said a little embarrassedly, “No, it’s just a sprain. It’s just that your sister didn’t have a good life in the past. I was worried, so I arranged a full-body checkup for your sister.”

Su Yan raised her eyebrows. “A full-body checkup? I don’t think I’ve had a full-body checkup all these years.”

Mother Su could barely maintain her gentle voice on the other end of the line. She had to pinch her own thigh to maintain her rationality. “Is that so? It’s Mother’s fault. I’ve always wanted to look for your sister, and I’ve indeed neglected you. How about this? Find a time and I’ll arrange for you to come for a physical examination. It’s not good for your health to study all day.”

Su Yan agreed. “That’s true. Then let me know when you’ve made the arrangements so that I can spare some time. The college entrance examination is coming soon and I’m looking for someone to tutor me.”

Su Yan changed the topic. “My sister is in the same year as me. How’s her studies?”

Thinking back to Su Qian’s results, Mother Su wanted to hang up.
