Chapter 21: Why Didn’t You Come For Dinner?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next morning, Su Yan was woken up by a phone call just as the sky turned bright. Without even opening her eyes, Su Yan tapped on the phone. It was a sharp woman’s voice on the other end of the phone.
“Su Yan, the adopted daughter of the Su family?”
Su Yan lied lazily and did not reply.
“Ha, in the end you’re just an adopted daughter after all. How uneducated, don’t you know how to answer when your elders talk to you?”
Su Yan sobered up a little. “Auntie, who are you? Shouldn’t you introduce yourself when you call a stranger?”
The person on the other end seemed to choke. After a while, she forced herself to say, “With your current state, don’t even think about marrying into the Huo Family.”
The Huo Family??Su Yan opened her eyes and found the woman’s voice familiar. She asked tentatively, “Are you Huo Nan’s mother?”
The Huo couple didn’t have a good relationship and divorced not long after Huo Nan was born. Huo Nan’s mother yearned for freedom. After she divorced Huo Nan’s father, she had one boyfriend after another. Huo Nan’s father also married another woman when Huo Nan was 15 years old.
The person on the other end was almost angered to death by Su Yan. Her voice suddenly became louder, causing Su Yan’s ears to hurt. “What are you saying? You uncultured thing, you’re just a pheasant. You were lucky enough to be adopted by the Su family. Do you think you can become a phoenix just by sticking your tail in?”
Su Yan took her phone far away. When the other party was almost done scolding her, she brought it back to her ear. “Oh, Auntie Zhao, why are you looking for me?”
Huo Nan’s mother, Zhao Ling, choked again. She gritted her teeth and said, “Let’s have lunch at Ruyi Hotel this afternoon to discuss your marriage with Huo Nan. Remember to come over.” After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Su Yan blinked her eyes and immediately forgot about the words of this unknown person. Zhao Ling was arrogant but weak, she didn’t have any perseverance. She even dreamed of getting rich in broad daylight and having money drop from the sky.
In her previous life, Zhao Ling had criticized Su Yan and tried to please Su Qian, the real heiress of the Su Family. In the end, she even managed to coax Su Qian into giving her some money.
Su Yan turned over and did not take Zhao Ling’s words to heart.?Who would want to go to her appointment? Does she think Huo Nan is that popular?
“Who do you think you are? Don’t you know how you got the things you have today? One must be content, you grew up relying on the Su family. You can’t do anything to let the Su family down.”
In the main hall, there were people coming and going, as well as reporters standing outside. In her previous life, Zhao Ling had embarrassed Su Yan, who had tried to please her, in front of these people.
Thinking of her previous life, Su Yan sighed.?What was she doing in her previous life? Why did she have to compromise and curry favor with these heartless things??The Su family did not go bankrupt because of her. Huo Nan was not a good person either, he cheated on her and abused her.
It was laughable that Su Yan was deeply in love with Huo Nan in her previous life and insisted on staying by Huo Nan’s side no matter what. Even if she knew that Huo Nan and Su Qian were having an affair, she still wanted to be with Huo Nan. She even wanted to be with Huo Nan and curry favor with his family like a dog.
Ridiculous, truly ridiculous.?Su Yan opened her eyes and looked at the wall lamp above her head. Actually, the Su family did not even treat her as part of the Su family.?Did the Su family lack money for a lamp??
No, they don’t.?The chandelier in Su Qian’s room cost over a hundred thousand yuan, but the lamp in her room cost only a dozen yuan.
Su Yan sneered and started a day of studying. She could still send a few voice messages to Shi Qing during her studies. Listening to Shi Qing’s voice, Su Yan felt refreshed and comfortable. It was not until the sky turned dark that Su Yan’s phone rang again, ending the day’s studies.
“Oh, you didn’t wait until now, did you?” Su Yan sneered and picked up the phone.
As expected, as soon as the call went through, a female voice shouted angrily, “Su Yan, who do you think you are? How dare you not come today?”
Su Yan did not say a word, but the person on the other end said, “Su Yan, let me tell you. Don’t think about meeting Huo Nan again in the future. I’ll tell Huo Nan what you did today.”
“Madam, who exactly are you? Huo Nan’s stepmother isn’t as… shrewish as you.” After a moment of deliberation, she finally chose a suitable word.
“That b*tch is worthy of being Huo Nan’s stepmother?” Zhao Ling was angry as if someone had stepped on a beehive. “I’m Huo Nan’s mother, and his only mother. Let me tell you, Huo Nan can only be my son.”
“Oh, so you’re the irresponsible mother who didn’t care about Huo Nan after she gave birth?” The word ‘mother’ at the end was extremely soft, and there was even a hint of disbelief.
Zhao Ling had no other choice but to scold her over the phone.
Su Yan sighed when she heard the repetitive sentences on the other end of the phone. She felt that it was rather boring and hung up the phone. She told Shi Qing what had happened today and complained, “It’s so boring, I thought she would say something new.”
Shi Qing chuckled and waited for Su Yan to finish before asking, “Not angry?”
Su Yan shrugged.. “Why would I be angry? I was so happy watching a free show.”
