Ms. Xu is worthy of being from a wealthy family. She sat on the sofa in Su Yi's living room with a posture as elegant as those princesses attending dinner parties in the news.
Su Yi silently turned off the noisy variety show, swept the snacks scattered on the coffee table into the storage box, then thought about it and gave up the idea of asking the other party what he wanted to drink, and directly brought a glass of water. Apart from this, there was only Yakult in the house, which she and Su Liyan both loved.
As for the bodyguard, he had already returned to the car downstairs at Ms. Xu's signal.
Ms. Xu took off her sunglasses and looked around with a purely scrutinizing gaze. Then her eyes fell on Su Yi, and she smiled as if she had calculated it: "I'm sorry for disturbing you by visiting me."
Sitting sideways on the sofa with her arms around the pillow, Su Yi smiled as a reply. She didn't say any polite words like "I am honored to be your humble home", nor did she show excessive enthusiasm or indifference, just waiting for the other party to continue.
Ms. Xu's eyes never left her.
Her eyes are the only part of her body that reveals her age, but they are also the most powerful part. An ordinary person might feel flattered or terrified by such a focused gaze, and would find it difficult to refuse any request that the other party makes next.
Su Yi just maintained a polite smile on his face.
Ms. Xu found that the rumors were not entirely to be believed. The girl in front of her - considering her age, she could indeed be called Miss Su Yi - did not look like the brainless and spoiled girl that others described her as. In other words, could a dramatic family change be enough to change a person
Falling from the clouds did not make her lose heart, but gave her a new lease of life. Ms. Xu had to admit that when she first saw Su Yi, even though she had seen countless people, she couldn't help but praise her beauty in her heart.
Not only is it beautiful, it is also vibrant and impressive.
She lowered her eyes and sighed slightly. The oppressive aura around her suddenly dissipated, and her figure even looked unbearably thin. "I came here today because I want to ask Miss Su for help with something. I know this request is very abrupt, but the only thing I can rely on is that Miss Su is also a mother, and perhaps she can sympathize with my feelings as a mother."
Seeing her originally calm and elegant appearance, and then seeing her bowing her head for her child at this moment, I am afraid that few people would not feel sympathy.
If Su Yi was only 30% curious about her purpose at first, which was a stage where she didn't care, now she was 70% curious. What on earth was it that was worth Ms. Xu's efforts on a nobody like her
It couldn't be that she has panda blood, which happens to be a perfect match for the sickly Sheng San, and Ms. Xu wants her to donate blood to her son, or contribute some organs, right
If that was the case, she really didn't want to agree. After all, she knew that Sheng San would not die at all and had a long life ahead of him.
She took a sip of water and said cautiously, "Why don't you tell me first? I may not be able to help you."
"As long as Miss Su wants, it will be possible," Ms. Xu looked at her with some genuine eagerness in her eyes, "I hope Miss Su can move to Oasis and live for a while."
"Oasis? An ecological park on the outskirts of the city?"
"Yes, I heard that Miss Su stayed for dinner that day? I hope I didn't neglect her."
Su Yi shook her head, a little confused. "The dinner is delicious, but what does it mean to stay for a while?"
Ms. Xu smiled and said, "It's just the literal meaning. Don't worry, Miss Su, there is nothing shady here. If you are not sure, we can sign an agreement. You can live there safely and freely. In return, I can meet all your reasonable requests or solve some difficult problems for you."
At this point, Ms. Xu paused and continued, "There is one thing I want to confess. Before coming here, I had someone do some research on Miss Su and Mr. Ling, and accidentally discovered some things that I didn't intend to know. Please forgive me, the following words are by no means a threat. If Miss Su agrees to my request, I will help Mr. Ling solve his background problem, because I heard that his biological father has suddenly become interested in this child recently; if Miss Su cannot reach an agreement with me, no third person will know about today's conversation, and I will not use the child as a handle to ask for anything."
Su Yi digested the content of her words. In short, Ms. Xu knew who Su Liyan's biological father was, and she also knew that Xu Haicheng had been having brain problems recently. She suddenly felt that having a son was not bad, and she began to suspect that Su Liyan was his son.
If Su Yi agreed to move to Oasis, Ms. Xu would help him solve the problem of Xu Haicheng. If he disagreed, she would not go to Xu Haicheng and say, hey, that fat and white kid is indeed your son, go grab him. She would just pretend that she didn't know about it.
To be honest, Su Yi never worried about Xu Haicheng from beginning to end, or rather, she just didn't take this human seriously.
Although she is not interested in using her abilities to bully the weak and enjoy the feeling of dominance, nor does she like to use abilities that do not belong to this world on humans, if someone really messes with her, Su Yi will never show mercy, no matter if he is the boy's biological father or not.
Ms. Xu said these words perhaps to win her favor, or perhaps to exert invisible pressure on her and force her to nod.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, it's all in vain.
If Sue agreed to her request, it could only be because of one thing - she was willing to do so.
Money can't buy my happiness.
After Ms. Xu said those words, the expression of the person opposite her did not change at all. To be honest, she was really surprised.
The girl remained calm from beginning to end. Was it because she thought life couldn't get any worse and didn't care, or was she confident enough in herself that she could handle everything
But it is undeniable that she did not find any weaknesses in the other party, and even the child she originally thought was not the one.
Is it really the right thing to do to place such a girl next to your son
Ms. Xu began to waver, but quickly put her worries aside.
Could things get any worse
She lost her husband and two children, and now the only one left may leave at any time. For a mother, she has nothing to lose and nothing to fear.
As long as she can make her only child a little happier, she is willing to give everything. As for the coveted Sheng family and their immeasurable wealth, who cares
She doesn't care anyway.
She sighed slowly, not the kind of sigh that was meant to show weakness. After this sigh, her straight back seemed to bend slightly.
"Miss Su, if you don't mind my story, please listen to my story."
The protagonist of the story is a little boy. His mother gave birth to him seven months prematurely due to some accidents during her pregnancy. When the boy was born, he looked like a kitten and his cry was almost inaudible.
For a healthy person, living is just about breathing through your mouth, eating on time, and sleeping on time. But for the boy, such simple things require all his strength.
Since he was born, he has been fighting against his frail body all the time. Only by winning can he survive, so he cannot lose.
Because of his poor health, he couldn't run, couldn't cry or laugh, and even basking in the sun for a while was a burden.
Perhaps it was because of this that, since childhood, he had a strange obsession with living things with strong vitality.
"Once, he nearly fell out of the window of his room because a bird was jumping around outside the window, and its cry woke him up. He wanted to catch the bird to keep him company. Later, the servants at home helped and put the bird in a cage. He was happy for several days. But the bird was not happy. Soon it stopped jumping and calling. He was very anxious and asked people to find the freshest insects. He tried every way to make the bird happy, but it didn't work. Birds belong to the blue sky, not the cage. The young boy finally realized this and wanted to let the bird go, but the little creature died the night before."
Ms. Xu paused for a moment before continuing, "That year, when he was six years old, he told me for the first time that the Sheng family was his birdcage. But even if a bird leaves the cage, it still needs the sky to accept it. When he left the Sheng family, he couldn't even see the sun the next day."
Sue listened quietly.
"A few years later, someone gave him a puppy. He never touched the dog once. We all thought he didn't like it until I caught him secretly feeding the dog his favorite food. He also gave it a name that was different from the name we gave the dog. It was a name that belonged to him alone. The puppy was very lively and always ran around. He couldn't take it to play. He always just stood behind the window and watched. Later, the dog ate something unclean and died. He never kept any pets again."
Ms. Xu's tone was very calm, as if it was a common occurrence for a dog to eat food that was fatal to its own health in the Sheng family.
Perhaps she had seen and encountered enough similar things.
"That day, I was surprised to learn that he had invited Yanchuan's family to dinner, because this had never happened before. I specifically asked Lao Gu about the situation, and only then did I know that Miss Su was also there."
“You think I am the variable?”
Ms. Xu nodded slowly but firmly, "Yes. And after meeting Miss Su today, I am even more certain of this. Miss Su has an unusually vigorous vitality and energy, which is what Yunzhou yearns for the most."
"So..." Su Yi pointed at herself and raised her eyebrows, "You asked me to move to Oasis because I can chirp like a bird and jump around like a puppy, which will make Mr. Sheng happy?"
Ms. Xu laughed at her description. "Miss Su is a living person, how can you compare her like that? As long as you agree, you can stay at Oasis as a distinguished guest, or even at the Sheng family. And we don't ask Miss Su to do anything, just treat it as your own home."
Su Yixin thought that she didn't need to do anything, but she couldn't tell which window the sickly Sheng San was spying on her "vigorous vitality".
Although the core inside is a demon wolf, the demon wolf has lost its own memories and has accepted all of Sheng San's memories and experiences. He is now Sheng San.
Thinking of the other person's pitiful and secretive look, she actually found it so cute
If Maotuan knew this, he would be furious again.
People in the business world say that Sheng San is clear-headed, has outstanding skills, and is even insidious and cunning. Although he has a sickly body, he is much more capable than his father and grandfather. His way of dealing with enemies and opponents can be described as ruthless and merciless. During the more than ten years that he has been in charge, the Sheng family has not only not been encroached upon by outsiders, but has even expanded new industries and squeezed out many competitors.
Such a vicious person, Su Yi said he was cute? She has too thick a filter for Big Fluffy!
