Chapter 261: Chapter 189 They are Each Other’s Redemption_2
Su Nian felt strange inside, especially when her daughter pushed her away and said she hated her. Holding back her tears, Su Nian pretended it didn’t bother her and said, “It’s okay, the child is just being moody! Carey is there, it’ll be alright.”
Liang Yizhou stood by the side, lacking the courage to give her even a hug or a word of comfort, because he knew that she didn’t need him…
By alti, Su Zhen still hadn’t returned. Su Nian called her, but was directly hung up on.
After a while, Su Yan sent a ssage to Su Yuecheng, saying that she had found Shen Hanxiu.
Upon hearing this, Su Nian felt relieved, subconsciously feeling that Shen Hanxiu could protect Su Zhen well…
While driving to the restaurant, Su Nian rode in Su Yuecheng’s car, and Su Bao took another car with Liang Yizhou.
Su Nian looked out the window, her thoughts drifting.
Not to ntion her daughter saying she hated her, she even hated herself for being timid, weak, desiring yet afraid to strive for it. The situation had beco what it was today entirely because of her own doing.
She wasn’t even as brave as her own daughter…
Ziyan patted her on the side. [Nian’nian…]
Su Nian turned her head to look as Ziyan gestured and said, [Nian’nian, seeing how much the child likes Shen Hanxiu, and besides, they are blood-related, aren’t they? Have you considered getting back together with Shen Hanxiu?]
Su Nian remained silent because she didn’t know what to do.
This year was not going well.
They had finished dinner, and both Su Zhen and Su Yan still had not returned.
Su Zhen had turned off her phone, and Su Yan had gotten through in the afternoon, spoke briefly, and then Su Zhen was heard in the background telling Su Yan not to take her calls, saying how much she hated her… And after that, the phone was turned off too.
Su Nian sat in the living room, deep into the night, yet utterly sleepless, only hearing the lively firecracker sounds outside that couldn’t warm her desolate heart…
On another large plaza, a tall and handso man stood with two children, one big and one small, in the center, with a pile of firework tubes laid out in front.
Su Zhen pointed and said, “I want to set off this pink one first.”
The brilliant fireworks blood in the sky, decorating the night sky with a burst of colors, fleeting in a mont.
Seeing Su Zhen’s joyous appearance, he felt as if he saw that woman when they went out to set off fireworks together; she had the sa expression, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.
And then she told him, this was the happiest year she had had since coming to the Su Family.
With the countdown, the clock struck twelve, cheers and fireworks sounds… Everything was so beautiful, except for her absence, making all the beauty feel incomplete.
“Zhenzhen, I’ll take you ho now.”
“I don’t want to go back; Mom will scold .”
Shen Hanxiu picked her up: “Next ti, don’t say such things to Mom, it makes her sad.”
“But she really is so annoying!”
That woman had given up everything for these children; if Su Zhen said such things to her, she probably would shed tears, right?
Fearing it would upset her daughter, he didn’t bring it up again and just took her back ho…
In the yard of the villa complex, a woman stood under the eaves, gazing into the distance.
Ziyan, holding a shawl, draped it over Su Nian’s shoulders: [Why not call Yue Cheng to go out and look for her?]
Su Nian turned and smiled: “Don’t, Uncle Cheng has surgery tonight, he’ll be back…”
Ziyan said no more, standing by the door with mother and son.
“Yanyan, you should go rest, it’s windy outside.”
[No worries, I’m worried too since the kids aren’t back yet.]
Just as they were talking, they saw a beam of light coming from afar, then entering the courtyard and stopping.
It wasn’t a car Su Nian recognized, but she suddenly saw the familiar man stepping out.
Su Nian imdiately went to et him.
Shen Hanxiu bent down and carried the sleeping Su Zhen out, glanced at the worried Su Nian; unsure if it was his imagination or not, he felt she had lost a lot of weight and looked more haggard in just a few days, and even though she had been heartless, seeing her like this still hurt his heart.
He looked cold on purpose, glanced at her then looked away, and handed Su Zhen over without a word.
Su Nian took Su Zhen, looked at Shen Hanxiu’s profile, opened her mouth wanting to say sothing, thank you or happy New Year…
But all words were stuck in her throat.
The awkwardness didn’t last too long; he didn’t give her much ti to hesitate before he got into the car and slowly drove out of sight.
Su Nian felt the wind was biting, chilling her heart.
This year was undoubtedly not a happy one.
After Su Zhen and Su Yan finished filming, they stayed for two more days and then returned to the mainland.
The night before she went back to work, Wei Lan called to say that her colleagues were having a party, a joint event for many departnts, ntioning Shen Hanxiu would be there, asking if she wanted to co.
Su Nian didn’t hesitate to refuse; choosing to be strangers, she wanted to avoid any chance of eting as much as possible.
Knowing her two little treasures were not easy to handle, Wei Lan didn’t insist, “Okay, see you at the company tomorrow.”
Wei Lan didn’t really want to go either; hearing Su Nian wasn’t going made her less willing, but Yang Zichen had asked her to co along, and Wei Lan was soone who couldn’t say no.
Yang Zichen had only flown back to Mai City that afternoon; Wei Lan brought Dingding and Dangdang to wait for him outside the airport.
After picking him up, they went directly to the party.
This was their first eting since after the New Year.
“How was your trip back ho?” Yang Zichen asked.
“It was okay,” Wei Lan replied, then complained, “But they tried to set up on a date again, it annoyed so much I just wanted to leave after the New Year.”
Yang Zichen smiled lightly: “Why not settle down if the family is pressing? It’s not like you’re getting any younger.”
Wei Lan suddenly rembered what Su Nian had once said about finding Yang Zichen, her face flushed, and turning her head away, she awkwardly chuckled and stuttered, “It’s still early…these things are better left to happen naturally.” Besides, after experiencing the incident with Jing Zan, she dared not deal with her life matters lightly.
She thought that would be enough to brush it off, but then Yang Zichen asked, “Do you have soone you like?”
