Lin Wenfeng frowned. "She's just infertile, not terminally ill."
Li Feifei quickly said, "Let me finish. If she dies, you'll be the beneficiary. How much money will the insurance compensation be? There won't be any problem with the company's operations. If she dies, you'll still be their son-in-law. Everything in their family will still be yours, and they won't interfere with your remarriage. Wenfeng, think about it. Do I make sense?"
"What are you trying to do?" Lin Wenfeng was bewildered.
Li Feifei did not answer directly. She only said, "I saw the news yesterday. Many people die in car accidents. Wenfeng, isn't there a saying how no one can know if they might get into an accident tomorrow? Who can be sure about her tomorrows or her accidents?"
Lin Wenfeng remained silent. He had his own considerations.
What he couldn't give up was the benefits that Su Nianen had given him. His feelings for Su Nianen had long been worn away, and she couldn't give birth now. If she really died, all the troubles in their family would be easily resolved.
If she died…
Lin Wenfeng was trapped by this cursed notion for the entire night. The next morning, he went to look for Su Nianen.
Before everything was arranged, he needed to change Su Nianen's mind and let the Su family and more people witness that they were a loving couple.
Su Nianen tidied up and prepared to go to work. When she opened the door, she found Lin Wenfeng lying on the ground at the door. He seemed to be seriously ill.
Su Nianen paused for two seconds before stepping over the man and leaving. She went straight to the front desk to settle the bill and changed hotels right away.
Lin Wenfeng waited for an entire day, but he did not see Su Nianen. Since he couldn't contact her, he could only go home.
Su Nianen originally thought that her world could be quiet now, but she did not expect Mother Lin and Li Feifei to come to the company. They barged into the classroom when she didn't agree to meet them.
"Nianen, don't argue with an old woman like me. Come home. I'll apologize to you. Listen to me and come home. You're a woman who lives outside all day, that's no good at all!"
Everyone in the class turned around and looked in their direction. Discussions sounded softly.
Su Nianen's face darkened. "Please leave my class."
Li Feifei hurriedly stepped forward to help. "Sister Nianen, Auntie has already thought it through. It's fine if you can't give birth. Take your time to treat your illness. It will be cured one day. We'll all be there with you. Don't give yourself too much pressure. Come home. Brother Wenfeng misses you so much that he fell ill…"
Su Nianen gritted her teeth and held it in. Today was a public lecture, and all the old and new therapists in the institution were participating. At this moment, if she could not hold back her anger, it'd be her mother-in-law and the mistress who won.
However, the crowd's discussion had grown from small to loud. Almost everyone looked at her with sympathy.
She couldn't give birth and even let her mother-in-law come to the workplace to beg her to come back. Everyone was talking about how this Teacher Su looked gentle, but was actually a ruthless woman.
Su Nianen hadn't found the right words to retaliate with when the leader stood up and said, "Teacher Su, settle your matters first. Teacher Li will substitute you for the second half."
Su Nianen opened her mouth, only to find her voice stuck in her throat.
She nodded. "Okay."
Su Nianen quickly left everyone's sight. Mother Lin was still shouting at the door. "Nianen, come home with Mom. Mom will apologize to you. If you can't give birth, so be it. Our Lin family will listen to you from now on, okay?"
The leader's face darkened as he warned, "Madam, don't make a racket in the classroom!"
What was the difference between what she was doing and making an announcement to the world? How could Teacher Su live with this in the future? The leader wondered if this old woman was pretending to be daft or if she really was stupid.
The mother-in-law and Li Feifei quickly left the classroom. The mother-in-law said in a low voice, "This is what she gets for causing trouble to my son. I want her to be too ashamed to face anyone."
Her mother-in-law and Li Feifei were sent to the front desk. When her mother-in-law saw that she was about to be chased out, she immediately grabbed the desk.
"I'm not leaving. I want to see my daughter-in-law. She hasn't been home for days. My son and I are both worried! I specially came to apologize to her. I don't care about my dignity, I only wish my daughter-in-law would come home."
Li Feifei immediately said, "Please call Sister Nianen out. She hasn't been eating or sleeping well these few days. No family deserves to be fighting among themselves! It's best to resolve conflicts, I hope you can understand how difficult it is for the old lady…"
The teacher said awkwardly, "Teacher Su has already left. You should look for her elsewhere."
Mother Lin immediately refused. "How is that possible? We just saw her and she left so quickly? Did she grow wings and fly away? If you don't get her, I'll go find her. I will talk to her today no matter what…"
The mother-in-law wanted to barge in, but the two teachers couldn't let her go in and cause trouble. They forcefully stopped her. The mother-in-law immediately raised her voice and started yelling and cursing, until the parents who passed by surrounded her.
Su Nianen quickly walked out and stood in front of her mother-in-law.
"What else do you want to say? You can start your performance in front of everyone."
