Before she could speak, Li Yan continued, “All, you don’t have a boyfriend! Your stepmother even forced you to marry someone you don’t like just now! Miss Shen, why don’t you consider Gu Ming and be his girlfriend?”

Shen Su’s face turned red.

Li Yan smiled and her eyes curved. “My son is a little boring, but he’s kind! He’s good to people! He’s also very loyal. If he dares not to be loyal, I’ll get his father to break his legs!”

At this point, Li Yan deliberately pulled a long face. Seeing Shen Su’s surprised expression, she could not help but laugh again.

“Miss Shen, I can tell that you’re a good girl at a glance. I just don’t know if our Gu Ming is so lucky. Why don’t you give it a try first? Do you want to test if he is to your liking?” Li Yan probed carefully.

A warm current flowed through Shen Su’s heart.

This was the first time they met. Gu Ming’s mother didn’t know her identity at all. She recommended her son to her because she liked her and was touched that she would help take care of his son.

Shen Su had never been so affirmed by anyone since she was young.

“Auntie, you heard it just now. My mother even thinks I’m ugly.” Shen Su’s voice was trembling.

Li Yan waved her hand. “She’s your stepmother. Don’t take it to heart. She has an ugly heart and everyone looks ugly to her.”

Shen Su smiled. Her eyes were wet as she said softly, “Auntie, she’s my biological mother.”

Li Yan was stunned. “Huh? How can a biological mother treat her daughter like this?”

After some thought, she said, “I really know a muddle-headed thing who treats her adopted daughter better than her biological daughter. Hmph!”

Her heart ached for Shen Su. She held her shoulder. “Silly child, don’t be sad. Don’t take it to heart. It’s not up to her to decide if you’re ugly or not. You still have friends, right? Ask your friends. Who will think that you’re ugly? Ask Gu Ming when he wakes up! If he dares to say that you’re ugly, I’ll break his legs!”

In this short period of time, Gu Ming had already experienced the threat of breaking his legs twice.

Shen Su smiled through her tears and sniffed. “Auntie, thank you! Really, thank you!”

Li Yan sighed. “Oh my god, she probably wants you to marry into a rich family. The person she asked you to marry is especially rich, right? You can bring benefits to your family by marrying him, right?”

“Sigh, so there’s really more than one mother like this. Isn’t this pushing your daughter into a fire pit? Miss Shen, don’t worry! Auntie supports you! If it really doesn’t work, you can run away from home! Auntie still has a few houses at home. You can stay there as you please! It has nothing to do with whether you become friends with Gu Ming or not!”

Shen Su was touched. “Auntie, call me Shen Su. Thank you. Thank you very, very much!”

Shen Su did not expect that a stranger she met for the first time, a stranger who did not know her identity at all, could give her such kindness. This was almost the first time Shen Su had received such praise and evaluation from a stranger.

Gu Ming, who was on the bed, suddenly snorted.

Li Yan and Shen Su stood up in unison to take a look.

Gu Ming opened his eyes.

“Son! Son, how do you feel?” Li Yan asked anxiously.

Gu Ming’s gaze landed on Shen Su’s face. Shen Su smiled at him.

“Shen Su, are you alright?” Gu Ming’s voice was a little hoarse, probably because he had not spoken for too long.

Li Yan understood and quickly moved away.

Shen Su said, “I’m fine. I’m fine.”

“Where are the others?” Gu Ming asked.

“My brother’s injuries aren’t as serious as yours. He’s in the ward next door. Bei Shuo and I are both slightly injured. The children are fine. Don’t worry,” Shen Su answered in one breath.

Gu Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

“Bei Shuo? You know her too?” Li Yan asked.

Shen Su nodded. “She’s my best friend.”

Li Yan’s heart ached even more for her. “She’s also a poor child. What 1 just said is that she’s the one who’s not liked by her biological mother. The two of you can be considered to be in the same boat. Although I haven’t interacted much with that child, she’s also a good child. She’s countless times better than that adopted child. Hmph!”

“Mom, stop talking.” Gu Ming knew that Li Yan hated Bei Le to the core, but he didn’t want to mention it again, so he stopped her.

Li Yan understood and said with a smile, “Shen Su, Auntie will keep her word. If you have any difficulties, tell Auntie. Come and look for Auntie if you want to run away from home! Auntie supports you! Ask Bei Shuo out another day. The three of us will go shopping and eat delicious food!”

Shen Su was infected by Li Yan’s candidness and couldn’t help but smile. She nodded solemnly. “Alright, Auntie.. Definitely!”
