32: Chapter 32: Having an Abortion 32: Chapter 32: Having an Abortion It’s not that she misunderstood him, but everyone in Yue City knows that he and Tang Sirou are the real couple.
He said, “I don’t need to explain to irrelevant people, I just need to explain to you.”
Su He’s expression was indifferent, but a trace of sothing unusual flickered through her heart.
Yet she could still tell that Tang Sirou held a place in his life.
And there was no way he couldn’t feel Tang Sirou’s affection for him, yet he still kept her by his side.
She responded with an emotionless “Oh.”
She had wanted to ask if his cell phone was always with him.
But such a question might prompt his suspicions.
–
The Jiang Family Mansion is located at the summit of a wealthy suburban area.
The air here is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and the climate is warm in winter and cool in sumr.
As the car entered the mansion gates, a large rockery with a water feature and a garden ca into view.
The car then ca to a stop on the vast parking apron.
Su He was not unfamiliar with the Jiang Family Mansion; despite not having been here for four years, it was just as she rembered.
After getting out of the car, the two headed towards the main building.
Just stepping out of the main hall, a figure suddenly rushed towards them.
Su He dodged quickly.
So did Jiang Yan.
Therefore, Jiang You lunged at empty space and nearly fell flat on her face, but luckily, Su He instinctively reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her back.
It was a false alarm.
She broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, took a mont to catch her breath, and patted her chest.
“Hey, what were you two dodging for?” Jiang You looked at them with a sowhat aggrieved pout, “Don’t you know, you almost lost , your adorable sister?”
Su He touched her nose and cleared her throat before saying, “Sorry, Youyou, I didn’t know it was you.”
Actually, she did know, but it was just her instinctual reaction.
Jiang Yan was more straightforward, saying expressionlessly, “I have a germ phobia.”
Jiang You: “…”
“Brother, I’m your younger sister, your blood, your own.”
She repeated the important fact three tis.
With a hurt look on her face, she said, “But you actually find dirty.
After being away from ho for so long, didn’t you miss at all?
Waaa…
you’re so heartless, it really hurts my feelings.”
Jiang You’s features resembled Jiang Yan’s, especially the shape of their lips.
But she looked adorable with her slightly chubby baozi face and large eyes, and her personality was the complete opposite of Jiang Yan’s—she was lively, he was calm.
The brother was cool and composed; the sister was lively and mischievous.
Jiang Yan glanced at her, and although his handso face was filled with disgust, his eyes and brows were all about an older brother’s love for his little sister.
When their father died, she was less than a year old, and over the years, he had almost taken on the role of both brother and father as they grew up together.
Jiang You was the little sister he had cherished growing up.
Only, he never expected that this cherished little sister would one day ‘betray’ him.
“Alright, there are no tears.
If you’re going to cry, at least squeeze out a few tears, right?
With such poor acting skills, it looks like those years at university were wasted,” Jiang Yan rcilessly exposed her.
Jiang You studied acting in college, and Jiang Yan did not stop her; he had promised that whatever she wanted to do, he would not stand in her way.
“Sister-in-law, my brother is bullying .”
Jiang You imdiately turned and clung to Su He’s hand, complaining with a look of grievance.
Su He looked her in the eye: “…And then?”
Surely she wasn’t expecting her to reprimand this man for her?
She wouldn’t dare.
Jiang You: “You should take care of my brother.”
Su He chuckled, saying nothing.
Jiang Yan glanced at their intertwined hands, narrowing his eyes slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.
In the main hall, there were Jiang Nanche and Old Madam Jiang sitting as well.
Jiang Nanche was considerably quieter, and he called out to them, “Five, little sister-in-law.”
Su He and Jiang Yan looked towards the Old Madam and greeted in unison, “Grandma.”
Old Madam Jiang, dressed in a dark cheongsam and draped in a green shawl, was seated on the sofa; her full head of silver hair was elegantly coiled up, exuding a dignified and noble charm that only the passage of ti could endow.
At seventy, she looked radiant and vigorous, maintaining a good figure.
After four years, she looked at Jiang Yan and Su He standing together, still as pleased as ever.
The only dissatisfaction was that the two had been away for four years.
Then she waved at Su He with a kind and compassionate look, saying, “Susu, co over and let Grandma take a look at you.”
She genuinely liked Su He; the girl had been smart and quick-witted since childhood, stable in temperant yet still adorable, and being the grandchild of two friends, and with the Su and Jiang families being old friends, raised in a clean environnt, the children from the Su Family would not turn out badly.
“Grandma.” Su He sat down beside the Old Madam and called out sweetly.
“Ah, good child.” Old Madam Jiang looked at her, liking her more and more.
Her grandson was handso, and her granddaughter-in-law was beautiful; so undoubtedly, their future great-grandchildren would be adorable too, a thought that filled her with joy.
Holding Su He’s hand, Old Madam Jiang made small talk and showed her concern.
“Susu, now that you and Ah Yan are back, it’s ti to start thinking about having children.”
Su He felt sowhat awkward and didn’t know how to respond.
The man’s gaze was fixed on her, wanting to hear her answer.
She gave Jiang You and Jiang Nanche a look, and with tacit understanding, they pretended not to notice, both buddies only wanting to watch the drama at this mont.
Su He cursed them inwardly.
She maintained a smile on her face: “Grandma, …”
“Grandma, Susu is still young; there’s no rush for this.”
She hadn’t finished her sentence when Jiang Yan next to her preemptively spoke up for her.
Su He looked at him, not expecting him to speak.
Does that an that he actually doesn’t like children?
Her eyes dimd a bit.
Otherwise, why would he have let her get an abortion at the beginning?
After all, that was his flesh and blood too.
But at that ti, he casually gave her five words: “Get rid of the child.”
Actually, what she wanted to say was to let things happen naturally.
Well, since he’s said as much, there’s nothing else for her to say.
“Grandma, I am indeed still young and not ready to be a mother yet,” she said.
“Don’t worry, you are still robust, and there’s no worry that you won’t be able to hold a great-grandchild.”
She knew what Old Madam was thinking.
After she finished talking, she silently said sorry in her heart.
The Old Lady could have had the chance to hold a great-grandchild now, but she wouldn’t reveal Xixi at the mont.
Old Madam took a glance at Su He, feeling that sothing was off with her expression just now but couldn’t pinpoint it.
Seeing that she had said so, Old Madam didn’t press on: “Alright.”
After dinner.
Jiang You secretly took Su He to the back garden.
“Sister-in-law, are you sure that Xixi being in Yue City won’t be discovered by my brother?” Jiang You asked.
Su He sighed, “That stinker refuses to go back to Zurich.”
There was nothing she could do about it; even if she forcibly sent him back, he would find ways to return.
“So, what are you planning to do next?” Jiang You asked quietly.
“Take one step at a ti, I guess,” she felt helpless: “I don’t know what gotten into your brother; now he doesn’t want to divorce anymore.”
Jiang You gave a noise of surprise: “…”
She continued, “Do you know what your brother actually said to ?”
Jiang You craned her neck, “What did he say?”
Su He raised two fingers, “He told twice that he doesn’t like Tang Sirou, and every ti I ntion that he likes Tang Sirou, he gets angry.
Don’t you think he has so sort of problem?”
Jiang You was also confused: “…That’s not right, we clearly heard my brother himself admit that he liked Tang Sirou… Could it be… my brother has fallen for you now?”
After such a hypothesis, she was quite content with herself, “That’s even better.
I don’t want Tang Sirou to be my sister-in-law.
I think it’s better if it’s you, Susu.
At least when my brother isn’t giving pocket money, you will, sister-in-law.”
Su He: “…
You an, you’re using the excuse of wanting pocket money to have beco your sister-in-law?”
Jiang You hooked an arm around her shoulder, “Ah, don’t be like that.
Isn’t it all the sa between us?
Even if we aren’t in-laws, we are still good sisters, right?
And providing for a good sister is normal, isn’t it?”
Jiang You disliked her hair poking her, so she swept it away.
Su He didn’t manage to stop her.
“Wow!”
Jiang You, “Sister-in-law, did my brother make this strawberry mark?”
She tilted her head and asked with a gossip-filled face, “Did things progress a bit too quickly between the two of you these past few days?
I’m starting to suspect that my brother may indeed have fallen for you.”
Otherwise, how could her brother possibly leave such an ambiguous mark on her?
“Don’t think nonsense, we haven’t done anything.”
“Then explain what this is?”
“It’s because I said he liked Tang Sirou, and he bit out of anger.”
“My brother has such a bizarre fetish?”
Jiang You didn’t believe it, to give a strawberry mark because he was angry?
Suddenly, Jiang You said seriously, “Sister-in-law, why don’t you just not get a divorce, for real.
My brother is tall and handso, life would surely be good.
Otherwise, look at the passion on the night of your wedding; you conceived Xixi, such a treasure.
With your looks and intelligence, it would be a disservice to not have more kids.
What a waste, right?
Isn’t it a good idea?
Sister-in-law, why not consider it?”
Su He turned to give her a cool look, “I think you’re quite good-looking too.
Why don’t I let Grandma find you a match and you have a few kids?”
Jiang You, “Hey, that’s not nice.
How could you push your best friend into the pit of marriage?”
Su He, “And aren’t you pushing into the pit of marriage by telling not to divorce?”
Jiang You explained, “That’s different.
You are my sister-in-law, and he’s my brother.”
Su He was speechless.
How was that different?
Both are marriages, both are pits.
“Sister-in-law, who do you think is more suitable to be a husband, Siyang or my brother?”
“Your brother and Siyang are different, they are completely not the sa type of person.
Siyang, he…”
A shadow stood behind the two, watching the two people in the garden whispering and leaning on one another.
“What are you two doing?”
