Chapter 27: That’s My Mother!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Yan’s father’s will clearly stated that if he passed away before Su Yan reached adulthood, then no matter who adopted Su Yan, they would give a sum of money to raise Su Yan until she grew up. This sum of money was more than enough to raise a child.
The Su family’s company had met with a crisis more than ten years ago and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Because they knew about this information beforehand that they adopted Su Yan successfully and saved their small company.
If Su Heng and his wife had treated Su Yan well, Su Yan wouldn’t have been so meddlesome. However, Su Yan’s life in the Su family was terrible. Su Yan had to pay for her school fees that were earned from doing part-time jobs.
Hence, Su Yan could get a lawyer to calculate the money that the Yun family gave Su Heng after deducting the expenses of raising Su Yan. She could also deduct the remuneration that Su Heng deserved over the years. The rest could be returned to Su Yan.
Su Heng froze at Su Yan’s words.
This necklace was indeed Su Yan’s. It was hung around Su Yan’s neck when they adopted her. Mother Su saw that Su Yan was too young and would definitely not remember anything, so she took off the necklace and took it for herself. Mother Su had thought of the necklace as her own for too long. She had even forgotten who the real owner of the necklace was.
That night, she was reminded by a big shot to treat Su Yan well. She felt that she had wronged her own daughter, Su Qian, so she took out the necklace and put it on Su Qian. Who would have thought that Su Yan would be able to recognize this necklace right away?
Su Qian couldn’t keep a straight face as she rubbed her fingers against the necklace. “Is this your mother’s necklace? Sorry, I didn’t know.”
Su Yan reached out her hand. “If you know now, then return it to me. After all, my mother only left me this item.”
She looked at Mother Su as if she was asking for help. Seeing that Mother Su did not respond, Su Qian had no choice but to take off the necklace and put it in Su Yan’s hands. She even explained, “Big Sister, I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
Su Yan couldn’t be bothered to listen to Su Qian’s explanation. With the necklace in her hand, Su Yan waved her hand and headed upstairs. Halfway up the stairs, she suddenly stopped and said, “By the way, it’s fine if Father wants Su Qian to have her coming-of-age ceremony with me, as long as you don’t regret it.”
Su Heng was elated and nodded his head. “I won’t regret it, I definitely won’t regret it.” At the thought of him being able to communicate with so many big shots, Su Heng’s breathing quickened, his heart raced, and even his hands felt numb.
Su Yan looked at the ecstatic Su Heng’s trio and sneered. She scrolled through the video on her phone and felt that this surprise would make them less happy. Looking at the bruise on her wrist, Su Yan curled her lips and sneered. Zhao Ling, that stupid thing, was asking a tiger for its skin. She really did not care about anything for money.
The next morning, Su Yan arrived at the police station fully dressed.
Huo Nan stopped her at the entrance of the police station. Huo Nan’s eyes were red as he glared fiercely at Su Yan. “Did you do it on purpose?”
Su Yan was puzzled. “On purpose?”
Huo Nan enunciated every word. “You know that’s my mother.”
“The mother who gave birth but did not raise her child?”
Huo Nan paused. For a moment, he felt touched. Look, look, this was Su Yan. In the end, she still liked him. Just because she wanted to fight for justice for him, she almost lost herself. Huo Nan, who had become complacent, coughed. “I know you feel indignant for me, but she’s my mother after all. It’s better that you don’t argue with her.”
Su Yan stared at Huo Nan seriously. “What are you talking about? This is already a criminal case. I can’t do anything about it.”
Huo Nan’s expression immediately turned ugly as he gritted his teeth. “What did you say?” His expression was so terrifying that it looked like he wanted to swallow Su Yan whole. Huo Nan took a deep breath as if he had thought of something. “Do you have feelings for that Shi guy? Are you going to betray me?”
“When have I ever been with you?” As if hearing a funny joke, Su Yan’s eyes curved into crescents. “Huo Nan, it’s rare to see such a trusting man like you, it’s best to protect yourself.”
Huo Nan paused.
Su Yan added, “Also, stop talking like that. Do you think I don’t know about you and Su Qian?”
“What about me and Qianqian? Qianqian is just a little sister. Su Yan, let me tell you, don’t think too much.”
Su Yan nodded. “Oh, if that’s what you think, then so be it.”
Huo Nan gritted his teeth at her nonchalant expression. “Xiao Yan.” Huo Nan grabbed Su Yan’s arm and refused to let her leave. But when Su Yan turned around, Huo Nan felt like his throat was choked and he could not say anything.
“What are you trying to do?”
Huo Nan could only say, “That’s my mother. If she goes to jail, I’ll become the joke of the entire upper-class society. Just think for me, I can’t become a joke.”
Su Yan laughed again and violently shook off Huo Nan’s hand that was grabbing her. She sneered, “Think for you? Who do you think you are?”
