Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Little Su, the Mistress of Shao Family at Capital City is looking for you. I’ll give you a half-day leave, so you don’t need to participate in afternoon’s special training.”

As the instructor spoke, he looked at Jiao Shuzhen and then glanced at the woman from the Wei Family. Lastly, his gaze fell on Su Qingcheng, and he thought maybe this was about a fight between the riches...

“Thank you, instructor...” Su Qingcheng looked at the instructor and thanked him with a face filled with acknowledgment. Jiao Shuzhen showed her gratitude by giving her a nod.

Su Qingcheng recalled how painful it was every time her period came, and it was the most unbearable when she had to join the special training as well. Now she had gotten a half-day leave so easily?

How wonderful!

Su Qingcheng saw Jiao Shuzhen looking at her, so she smiled and did a military salute. “Hello, Mistress! You’re Shao Yibai’s mother, right?”

In a high-end clubhouse café...

The environment was spacious, quiet, and elegant. Besides that, soothing music flows through the speakers and filled the room.

It was Su Qingcheng’s first time coming to such a place. When she was about to enter the café, she noticed that there was an automatic shoe polisher at the door. Only then did she realized that she was the only one who was wearing sneakers in the cafe.

Fortunately, she had long legs, so no one paid attention to her shoes...

Su Qingcheng hid her feet and continued to sit up straight.

Jiao Shuzhen and Wei Hongmian sat together and looked Su Qingcheng in the eyes.

Su Qingcheng was a little surprised that Jiao Shuzhen took the initiative to find her. However, it made sense when she thought about it. She had followed Shao Yibai to Capital City, and they had been together for about a year already. Jiao Shuzhen knew about her existence, yet Shao Yibai refused to let her meet his parents. She had to have known half of what was going on even if she was retarded.

Then, Su Qingcheng glanced at the woman Jiao Shuzhen had brought along with her. She had an elegant air about her, and her presence was somehow undeniable.

Moreover, the woman had been staring at her with uncertainty. This made Su Qingcheng realize that this might be a Feast at Swan Goose Gate [TN: a term used figuratively to refer to a trap or a situation ostensibly joyous but treacherous.] and she might be besieged...

The three of them ordered three cups of coffee and the smell of hand-ground Brazilian coffee was wafting in the air in no time.

“Miss Su, it’s inconvenient for us to speak in the academy just now. I’ve invited you out so that we can get straight to the point here.”

Jiao Shuzhen looked around and said, “I’m looking for you because I want to talk about you and Shao Yibai!”

Su Qingcheng’s fingertips trembled a little. The woman sitting in front of her was Wei Hongmian, and she had hardly made any sound since they met.

“Well, Mistress, you can get straight to the point! You’re Big Brother Shao’s mother, and I’m younger than you. Anything you said is right!”

Su Qingcheng said with a sweet smile on her face.

She knew that it was inevitable, so she might as well invite her to get straight to the point liberally.

With the nourishment of love, Shao Yibai’s encouragement and care, as well as her diligence, she was no longer the dirty fair-skin boy from more than a year ago!

“Oh? Miss Su seems very confident...”

“Mm, sort of...”

Jiao Shuzhen saw how this little girl was not backing down at all and grew somewhat unsatisfied. She thought that as long as she made a move, a little girl like her who had not yet seen the world would be intimidated.

Jiao Shuzhen saw her straightened waist and the smile on her face. She was not caught in a bout of low self-esteem at all. If Shao Yibai did not tell them beforehand, she could not imagine that the girl in front of her came from the mountains and was sold to human traffickers twice.

The instructor had also mentioned that Su Qingcheng’s written test and physical training were placed first among all the girls in the entire academy.

It seemed like this little girl would not be easy to deal with!

Jiao Shuzhen reached out and grasped Wei Hongmian’s hand. She said to Su Qingcheng calmly, “Since Miss Su is being so straightforward, I’ll not beat around the bushes. Let me introduce you to this lady, she’s the marriage candidate that I had chosen for Yibai, the little daughter of Capital City’s Wei Family, Wei Hongmian!”

Although Su Qingcheng had prepared herself mentally, she was still a little surprised by this information.

She looked at Wei Hongmian and this elegant woman had on a three-pointed arc smile. The word ‘sweet’ did not suit her, but she did look like a she could be one of the ‘big sisters’.

Wei Hongmian nodded at Su Qingcheng and said with a smile, “Miss Su, I’ve heard about you. Now that I’ve seen you, I must admit that you do look good!”

To hell with sister!

This straightforward girl was beginning to dislike Wei Hongmian. This woman came to steal her man, yet she called her sister?

‘What? She wanted to address each other ‘sisters’ as though we were the first and second wives from the Republic of China era?’ Su Qingcheng muttered in her heart softly and tried to keep her composure.

“Miss Wei has already heard about me. I’m very sorry then because I’ve been in the Capital City for a year and have spent quite some time in Yan State, but I never knew that there’s someone called Miss Wei around Big Brother Shao...”

Su Qingcheng’s volume was not too loud, and there was no edge to her tone. Her big eyes were watery, dark, and lively. She looked at the two women in front of her face and retaliated.

Wei Hongmian felt as though she was being insulted.

When she was about to speak, Jiao Shuzhen held her hand down and hinted her not to do so.

“Miss Su, as Yibai’s mother, I’m very sorry that he has never mention Hongmian before. He is Hongmian’s childhood friend and both of our families have a marriage contract. However, he is always away from home. This child has a playful and wild nature, and he had now got you involved with himself. I must say, I have got a huge responsibility toward his action as his mother!”

Jiao Shuzhen actually looked regretful when she spoke. She then sighed and continued, “Miss Su, I came to look for you to clarify on this matter and to avoid turning this into a huge mistake which could keep you from your bright future!”

Jiao Shuzhen’s message was extremely obvious: Shao Yibai did not tell you that he had a marriage contract because he was just messing around with you. The one who would be married into the Shao Family would be Miss Wei.

Su Qingcheng did not know what to say.

It would be a lie to say that Su Qingcheng was not sad at all.

She felt aggrieved and hurt, but she dared not reveal her emotions.

What happened to the daughter-in-law and parents-in-laws meeting?

She was being rejected directly by them...

Wei Hongmian saw that Su Qingcheng did not say anything and laughed secretly in her heart. She was right, her aura and position were different when she brought Jiao Shuzhen along with her.

“Miss Su, Shao Yibai is my son and I’ve not taught him well and had allowed to do such a thing. I’ll give you 500,000 yuan right now as compensation...”

As Jiao Shuzhen spoke, she took out a credit card from her handbag and passed it to her gently.

“Miss Su, our family members are all in the military and political industry for generations. We’re not as wealthy as the nobles, but this is just something small to make up for your loss. I hope that you don’t think that it’s too little.”

If Su Qingcheng had read the novels about rich and powerful CEO, she should be very familiar with this scene. How it would normally go down would be the main female character jumping jump up angrily, shredding the card or tearing the cheque, and tell the other party that she was truly in love with the main male character...

Unfortunately, the silly girl, Su Yingcheng had been playing with a small pool of mud ever since she was younger and had never read a novel before...

“That... Madame Shao, you don’t have to give me money now as both of us likes each other. If you’re willing to propose to me now, you should first cut it off with Miss Wei! I dared not accept such a huge amount of betrothal gifts...”

Su Qingcheng said very seriously and gave Wei Hongmian a sympathetic look.

Wei Hongmian and Jiao Shuzhen were both rendered speechless.
