Chapter 25: 025 My daughter is only Xinyan
“Yiyi…”
Su Xinyan called out weakly, “She is my sister.”
“You may consider her your sister, but she doesn’t necessarily see you as her little sister. The things she has done to you are well known. How can you still have illusions about her? Have you forgotten that she almost caused you harm…”
“Shut up.”
Gu Heng suddenly spoke up, cutting off Zhao Yiyi’s words.
Zhao Yiyi looked at Gu Heng with a start, her beautiful little face a mix of grievance and indignation.
...
“I didn’t say anything wrong. Why are you being harsh with , Cousin?”
Gu Heng’s face darkened slightly, his chilly expression causing Zhao Yiyi to shiver involuntarily.
Seeing Gu Heng’s reaction, Su Xinyan’s beautiful eyes flickered subtly, and she bit her teeth secretly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing quickly through her eyes.
“That’s enough.”
Wen Peipei, who had been sitting on the side in silence, suddenly spoke up with a stern voice, her face unflinching.
“Let’s put an end to this matter; no one is allowed to bring it up again.”
The old lady’s words carried an authority that did not need anger to reinforce it; as she spoke, the entire ward quieted down.
Wen Peipei’s expression turned grim upon hearing Su Ran’s na, her attitude cooling significantly, a clear hint of disgust flashing in her bright eyes.
“Grandma…” Su Xinyan called out softly, looking at her sowhat fearfully and anxiously.
Her pitiful, aggrieved deanor softened Wen Peipei’s icy countenance considerably.
“Grandma wants what’s best for you. If that incident gets out, it will damage your reputation too, especially with what’s going on between you and Gu Heng…”
Su Xinyan’s face was a picture of delicate endurance, yet she responded sensibly,
“I understand, Grandma…”
Wen Peipei patted her hand affectionately, proud of her doted-on granddaughter, who was clever, considerate, and empathetic.
Unlike that Su Ran…
Thinking of Su Ran, Wen Peipei seed to recall so shaful incident, her face imdiately darkening.
Zhao Yiyi snorted derisively at this.
“It seems to
she’s playing that very ga. Knowing Xinyan is easy to talk to, she dares to bully her so blatantly.”
Wen Peipei paused for a mont, catching sight of the fleeting sadness and bitterness on Su Xinyan’s face. Her shrewd eyes flickered slightly.
“Don’t worry; Grandma will seek justice for you.”
Su Xinyan shook her head, her tone revealing a touch of difficulty.
“I don’t bla my sister. I know she’s just angered now, but she’s still kind-hearted. When we were little, she was quite affectionate towards …”
Hearing Su Xinyan’s words, Wen Peipei seed to recall sothing, the disgust in her eyes deepening further.
Su Xinyan caught every shift in Wen Peipei’s expression, a slight smile forming on her lips, a sense of triumph in her eyes.
Such a powerless woman, thinking she could compete with her.
With just a little scheming, she could make her end without a place to be buried.
How can soone with such low intelligence play gas with her?
Wen Peipei shot Su Hongde a sharp glance, “This is the kind of daughter you’ve raised, heartless and ruthless, even capable of harming her own sister.”
Su Hongde’s face turned sowhat ugly, his expression colder than ever when ntioning Su Ran.
“I do not have such a daughter; my only daughter is Xinyan.”
Wen Peipei looked at Su Hongde disapprovingly.
“She is still nominally a mber of the Su Family, even if you want to drive her out, we should wait until…”
Realizing this wasn’t the right place to speak, Wen Peipei abruptly fell silent.
“Humph, I’d like to see what that scourge really wants to do and whether she still sees , her grandmother, as worthy of consideration,” Wen Peipei said angrily.
“Xinyan, you rest well.”
A layer of concern quickly spread across Su Xinyan’s frail face.
“Grandma, where are you going?”
