Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Originally, Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group were unhappy with the man who had gotten their daughter (granddaughter) pregnant. However, after they heard Zhao Youlin’s words, they began to feel sorry for him.

Regardless, they were still unsatisfied and held a grudge against Ye Yan.

No matter how rational the person usually was, the moment they saw someone who was very important to them, the balance in their heart would shift to that person.

If what Zhao Youlin said was true, the adults knew well that they could not put the entire blame on Ye Yan.

However, the reality showed that it was a fact that Ye Yan had forgotten about Xiao Qi, and this had resulted in her getting hurt. Based on rationality, they should not place all the blame on Ye Yan. However, based on sensibility, they still had a grudge against Ye Yan, and they could not bear to put up with this.

“Since he had forgotten about Xiao Qi, how did he get her pregnant, then?” Jiang Wenfang fell silent for a long time. At the end of the day, she was most concerned about the child in Su He’s womb.

“Well… It was an accident.”

“An accident, again?”

The elders creased their eyebrows. It was clear that they were unsatisfied with Zhao Youlin’s cursory response. However, Su He interrupted their conversation, “Mother, don’t ask about this anymore. Concerning the child, I am certain that I want to deliver this child.”

Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group were stunned upon hearing Su He’s words. They turned their heads around, only to see a glimmer of pain and pleading in her eyes. Their hearts began to soften.

“Alright, alright. We won’t mention it anymore.” Jiang Wenfang adored Xiao Qi the most ever since she was young. She could not afford to see her daughter so sad. As such, she gave in to her and dared not ask further questions.

Likewise, Su Liqiang was helpless when he was greeted by the sight of his daughter’s unusually pitiful look. Meanwhile, the former master kept his cool. When he noticed his granddaughter was about to break down emotionally, he cleverly switched the topic. “We’ll put this on hold for the time being. Didn’t you say that Xiao Qi was injured due to an accident and nearly miscarriage? What happened?”

After the former master of the family brought up the issue, the audience gathered their attention on Zhao Youlin and the rest of her gang.

Zhao Youlin exchanged glances with them before she explained how Su He was knocked down by a certain insensitive, madwoman who had barged into her company, and almost resulted in miscarriage.

Jiang Wenfang’s expression grew increasingly dark as she listened to Zhao Youlin’s recollection of the event. She appeared to be gripped by the lingering fear as she took her precious daughter’s hand, sized her up several times and touched her. After she was convinced that her daughter and future grandchild were fine, her face turned dark. She said solemnly, “Who is the insensitive idiot? How dare she mess with us?! It looks like I have to teach her some lessons. Otherwise, she might think that the Sus are a family that she can afford to mess with!”

Jiang Wenfang’s words radiated a bandit’s aura. The aura did not match with her meek and nimble appearance at all. Even so, the others inexplicably felt a sense of chilliness creeping down their spines.

Su Jifeng quietly wiped away the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead. He forced a smile as he said, “Mother, you don’t have to worry about this. I’ve already sent the bitch to jail. I’m afraid she’ll have to spend the rest of her days in jail.”

Jiang Wenfang’s expression did not return to normal after hearing Su Jifeng’s words. Instead, she turned her head around and chastised him, “How dare you still have the audacity to say so?! Why didn’t you notify us of such an important matter? If we hadn’t returned home today, and if Xiao Qi’s belly hadn’t been this big, are you all planning to hide this from us until Xiao Qi delivers the baby out of her womb?!”

“That’s right! Why didn’t you guys inform me and your father when something this drastic has happened to Xiao Qi? No wonder I found it strange when Youlin paid a visit to Xiao Qi after her wedding. Youlin, I still remember asking you if something had happened to Xiao Qi, but you lied to me! If it wasn’t for the fact that your father and I heard that Xiao Qi’s parents and grandfather were returning today and came to pay them a visit, how long do you think you’ll keep this from us?”

Zhao Youlin and Su Jifeng were under intense pressure under the two women’s resentful stares and rebuke.

Fortunately, Su He’s emotions gradually stabilized. She was diffident when she saw Zhao Youlin and Su Jifeng were being chastised. She stretched out her hand and pulled Jiang Wenfang. She pleaded on behalf of Zhao Youlin and Su Jifeng, “Mother, don’t blame Jifeng and Youlin. It’s entirely my fault. I was the one who told them not to tell you about it. You can put the blame on me.”

“Xiao Qi, you…” Jiang Wenfang looked at Su Jifeng and the rest of his group before she cast another glance at Su He. In the end, she could not bear to rebuke Su He.

She heaved a sigh. Seeing that Su He’s emotions had stabilized, she hesitated before deciding to clarify the matter with her, “Xiao Qi, Ye Yan and you…”

Su He’s entire body shuddered upon hearing Ye Yan’s words. She drew in a deep breath before she said, “Mother, I… have nothing to do with him. As Youlin pointed out, it’s not entirely Ye Yan’s fault that he forgot about me. In fact, he was not to blame. He has only forgotten about me and disliked me. At the end of the day, I am the only one who fell for him. We have nothing to do with each other. Now that I understand all this, I naturally won’t pester him anymore. That’s all there is to it.”

Su He looked decisive when she said this. She turned her head around and looked at Jiang Wenfang and the rest of her group before declaring firmly, “Father, Mother, Grandpa, I am responsible for this matter. I hope you don’t have to go through any difficulties for me. I have nothing to do with him right now, so I don’t want to use any excuse to connect to him. As for the child…”

Su He subconsciously reached out and touched her belly. Her eyes reflected both heartbreak and determination. “I would give birth to the child and raise the child. The child is entirely mine and mine alone.”

Jiang Wenfang pursed her lips as she looked at her daughter. She asked her cautiously, “Xiao Qi, are you sure you could forget about him? After all, it’s been years and you’ve been subconsciously protecting him even now. How could you walk away from the relationship so easily?”

Su He looked down and mumbled, “Some things are meant to be forgotten. Time… could heal.”

She did not trust everything Ye Yan had said to her that night. She had experienced disappointment and despair when she was once filled with hope. As a result, she no longer dared to hold expectations for something so easily.

The audience saw everything. In their heart, they knew that the matter was not as simple as it appeared to be. However, they dared say anything to agitate her.

The somewhat tense atmosphere abruptly turned cold until hasty footsteps were heard from outside.

The next moment, the crowd heard a familiar shout filled with anxiety, “Master Su, Young Master Su, Madam, something bad is going on… Something bad is happening…”
