Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Ling pretended to be stupid and looked around. “Eh? Where’s our Shen Su? Why didn’t she come to take a look when her Sister gave birth? What’s wrong with this child?! She’s getting more and more insensible! Mom, you have to control her. She’s used to being wild outside. She doesn’t listen to me and her father. She listens to you and Shen Bai.”

Ning Xin did not have a good impression of this daughter-in-law. She said calmly, “Little Su has been accompanying her here.”

Yu Ling was overjoyed and exchanged glances with her husband. “That’s more like it. She finally knows something!”

In the coffee shop downstairs of the hospital, Yu Ling told Shen Su that Mu En had been chosen as the heir of the Mu Family. The Mu Family valued him very much. Mu Guo personally apologized and even reached an agreement with Shen Yi.

The coffee in the cup in front of Shen Su had already reached the bottom. She interrupted Yu Ling impatiently. “So?”

“So? So, there’s hope for you and Mu En.” Yu Ling’s interest was interrupted and she finally spoke her mind.

Shen Su knew that her parents wouldn’t have any good intentions.

She finished the coffee and put down the cup. She said calmly, “It has nothing to do with me even if Mu En becomes the emperor. Whoever agrees will marry him!”

She stood up and walked away with a walking stick. Bei Shuo felt that it was too inconvenient for her to jump on one foot, so she gave her a walking stick.

Yu Ling was anxious. She stood up and stopped her. “Why are you so stubborn? How many times have I told you? Mu En knows his mistake. He has nothing to do with that little vixen Bei Le! The person he wants to marry is you! The two of you are of equal social status. Mu En doesn’t mind that you’re not good-looking, so why are you still picky? If it weren’t for the fact that your surname is Shen, he might not even look at you!”

Shen Su looked up at her mother and narrowed her eyes. “Mom, I’m ugly and I’ve embarrassed you. I’m very sorry. If he likes me because my surname is Shen, 1’11 change my surname to something else!”

Shen Su walked around Yu Ling. She was worried about entrusting Gu Ming to the nurse.

Yu Ling grabbed her walking stick and snatched it away. “What nonsense are you talking about? How long are you going to be willful? Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you have your brother and sister backing you up! Let me tell you, the wedding date has already been set for you! You have to marry him no matter what. If you still care about your father’s face and your grandparents’ health, listen to me obediently. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

After saying that, Yu Ling was still angry. She threw the walking stick at Shen Su.

Shen Su instinctively took a step back. She could not stand steadily and fell to the ground. The walking stick hit the plaster and it shattered.

What Shen Su heard was not the sound of plaster shattering, but her own heart.

A pair of hands supported her, and a gentle voice said in her ear, “Come, get up quickly. The ground is cold.”

Shen Su tilted her head and wiped her tears on her upper arm. She gritted her teeth and stood up. In front of her was an elegant woman in a beige cheongsam. She bent down, picked up the walking stick on the ground, and handed it to Shen Su.

Shen Su took it and said in a low voice, “Thank you!”

The woman said gently, “Is she your stepmother? If you need it, just call the police. Girls have to protect themselves well. No one is worthy of you sacrificing your lifetime of happiness.”

Stepmother!

Shen Su smiled bitterly and nodded. “Thank you!”

She leaned on her walking stick and walked towards the elevator.

The woman’s voice came from behind. “Where are you? Hurry up! I won’t let you off if you dare to delay me from seeing my son!”

Such ruthless words sounded gentle. Shen Su thought how happy she would be if she had such a mother.

When she returned to the ward, Gu Ming was still not awake. Shen Su could not help but heave a sigh of relief. She looked at the time. His parents should be arriving soon. It would not be convenient for her to accompany him like this when his family came.

Shen Su stood by Gu Ming’s bed and sighed as she looked at his sleeping face. “Do you know? Just now, my biological mother despised me for being ugly. She said that if it weren’t for the fact that my surname is Shen, Mu En wouldn’t have taken a fancy to me. Listen, how great is this gift?”

“Speaking of which, you’re quite good-looking. Why did Bei Le betray you? Because your surname is Gu? It doesn’t make sense. We’re really unlucky. We can’t say no even if we want to. My mother forced me to marry Mu En.. Tell me, how can I resolve this matter? Why don’t 1 spend some money and hire a murderer to kill him!”
