The car slowly drove into the gate of Su's house, passed through the lawn, flower beds and fountains, and finally arrived at the main building.
"Second Miss, we're here, get off the car."
Yan Shu got out of the car silently.
After knowing that she was a single-parent family, the Su family had more reasons to let her come back, and her mother finally agreed.
"They are right. Only when you return to the Su family can you live a better life. You can do what you want to do, learn what you want to learn, and you will never have to worry about money again. Besides, your mother has raised you by herself. It’s a bit overwhelming. Mom will be more relaxed when you return to Su’s house.”
Although Yan Shu knew that she said this deliberately for her own good and to allow her to return to the Su family with peace of mind, she still couldn't help but feel aggrieved and sad.
Why not ask her if she wants to go back? Why not ask her if she wants a better life? It was clearly said that the family of three would stay together and never be separated again. Why push her out so easily now
Sometimes, adults’ self-righteous “doing it for you” is really annoying!
Yan Shu thought like this and felt that she was going too far. Even though she knew her mother was really doing this because of her, she still blamed her.
Maybe mom is even sadder than she is now, right? Whether she is an adopted daughter or a biological daughter, she has become someone else's. She must be in pain, right
Yan Shu couldn't help but worry about her again.
"Second Miss, please." The stern-faced butler carried Yan Shu's luggage and led her into the Su family's main building.
The Su family is very large, and it looks luxurious from the outside. Unexpectedly, it becomes even more luxurious and exquisite after entering, with the heritage of a wealthy family everywhere.
Yan Shu stood under the gorgeous and bright crystal chandelier, and suddenly became uneasy. She felt like an ugly duckling who had mistakenly entered the palace and was out of place here.
"Second Miss, your room is over here."
The housekeeper led her to the eastmost room on the second floor.
The room is beautifully decorated, with pink and white tones, very girly. The wardrobe is filled with clothes, the shoe cabinet is filled with shoes, and there are several unopened sets of skin care products on the dressing table... They are all very suitable for her age. The person who prepared these must have put a lot of thought into them. of.
The style of clothes looks a bit like Su's mother's taste, so... did she prepare the things
Yan Shu suddenly felt that this family seemed to be looking forward to her return.
"Second Miss, I don't know your preferences, so I've only prepared these for now. If you don't like them, I'll change them for you."
Yan Shu was startled and asked softly, "Did you prepare these?"
"Yes, Miss Second. Madam specially asked me to prepare it for you." The butler replied politely.
Yan Shu suddenly felt that her previous idea was ridiculous.
"By the way, Miss Er, the husband is working in the company now. The eldest lady passed out this morning. The young master and his wife are with her in the hospital. She asked me to let you have a good rest after I pick you up."
Yan Shu's heart couldn't help but feel cold, like falling into an ice cave.
At noon, no one from the Su family came back. After the housekeeper asked about Yan Shu's taste, he ordered the kitchen to prepare a luxurious lunch for her.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, prawns with tomato sauce... are all her favorite dishes. The chef's skills were also excellent, but while Yan Shu was sitting alone at the huge dining table, eating silently, she felt that the dishes were not that delicious.
It wasn't until night that Jiang Yu came back from the hospital. He came to Yan Shu's room with a tired look.
"Xiao Shu, are you still used to it? Sorry, I was supposed to be waiting for you at home, but Mingzhu suddenly fainted this morning. Your brother and I were with her in the hospital. You don't blame mom, right?"
Yan Shu looked at the biological mother she had just met. Unlike her mother, Ding Yuehong, who was haggard and old, time had left no trace on her face. Her skin is delicate and smooth, well-maintained, she wears exquisite light makeup, and wears a dress whose brand she cannot tell, looking elegant and decent.
She was the kind of person who would never have crossed paths with her before.
She was silent for a moment and shook her head.
Jiang Yu laughed and said, "My mother is relieved that Xiaoshu is so sensible. Mingzhu has a fragile body and a sensitive personality. You should be more considerate in the future. You sisters should get along well with each other."
Yan Shu was silent again, but Jiang Yu didn't notice it. He hesitated and continued, "Xiao Shu..."
"Everyone is very happy that you are back. I originally discussed with your father and planned to hold a welcome banquet for you. Invite some relatives and friends over and formally introduce you to everyone. But you also discovered that Mingzhu can't do anything for the time being. Accepting that she was not the biological daughter of the Su family, she was very sensitive and emotionally unstable. She even fainted this morning.
So Xiao Shu, let’s not hold the banquet now, okay? Let's take care of Mingzhu's mood first, and we can do it after she recovers. Besides, being together as a family is the most important thing, everything else is just a formality, right? "
Yan Shu became more and more silent, and it took a long time to squeeze out an ugly smile, "I listen to you."
Jiang Yu immediately laughed and rubbed Yan Shu's head, "Xiao Shu is still sensible. Your dad will be back soon, let's go out. Although your brother and Mingzhu are not here, your parents will have dinner with Xiao Shu today, and you will Let’s open a bottle of dad’s fine wine and celebrate.”
"… good."
When the two walked out of the room, Su's father, Su Liangcheng, had returned and was sitting on the sofa downstairs reading a book.
He is nearly fifty years old, but you can't tell from his appearance. He is still handsome and personable. There was a majesty about him that made him look very unapproachable.
Seeing the mother and daughter coming down, he looked away from the book and said calmly, "You're back? Are you still used to it?"
Even though it was not the first time they met, even though he was her biological father, Yan Shu still felt that he was majestic and cold and did not dare to look directly at him.
She responded in a low voice, "Yeah, it's good."
Su Liangcheng couldn't help but frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just said, "Let's have dinner."
Unlike the Chinese cuisine this morning, the food tonight is almost all Western food.
"Your brother and Mingzhu both like Western food. You are about the same age as them, so I thought you would also like it, so I specially asked the kitchen to make these. Xiao Shu, do you like it?"
"...I like it, thank you."
The servant pulled out chairs for them and the three of them sat down.
Yan Shu looked in front of her: exquisite tableware, beautiful presentation, goblets filled with glazed champagne, and the butler played soft music.
All this left Yan Shu at a loss.
She had also eaten in a Western restaurant with her mother, but the atmosphere in that Chinese-Western restaurant was completely different from the atmosphere at the moment, which made her completely at a loss.
He was obviously careful when using the knife and fork, but because he was in a hurry, he accidentally made a harsh sound of the knife scraping against the dinner plate.
Jiang Yu and Su Liangcheng looked over at the same time.
Yan Shu's face turned red, she lowered her head and apologized softly, "I'm sorry..."
Mother Su sighed, "It doesn't matter. You can learn dining etiquette slowly."
Seeing Yan Shu's head lowered, Su's mother couldn't help but frown.
It's okay to make mistakes, but you can't be so petty. Once you are timid, you will become very incompetent.
Jiang Yu also knew that Yan Shu could not be blamed for this. She also cherished her biological daughter who had been living outside since she was a child, but she was too ordinary. How could she survive in a wealthy circle
