Not long ago, when Cheng Tianhao was in his glory, she bathed in the glamour with him, acting as if she was the owner of the Su's.
Thinking of this, Bai Xue furrowed her brows.
"Su Yan, what's going on between you and Bai Xue? Why are you two making a spectacle of yourselves every day?" Upon seeing them, Su Ruohan immediately placed herself in a position of authority and chided them.
Su Yan laughed sarcastically.
Bai Xue looked down in silence, appearing remorseful.
After all, she was Su Yan's elder. She should save him some face.
"Su Yan, please behave and spare your grandfather some worry!" Su Ruohan still placed herself above them.
Su Dongkun was just about to scold her.
"Mom!" Cheng Tianhao really wanted to roll his eyes at his mother. She was totally oblivious to the atmosphere around her.
As if realizing her clown-like behavior, Su Ruohan put on a stern face and sat down.
After dinner, Su Ruohan, Su Yan, and her son were called into the study for quite a while. When they returned, Su Ruohan looked upset. She walked away without even acknowledging Bai Xue's greeting.
Cheng Tianhao followed quickly after her, casting an apologetic glance at Bai Xue.
"Mrs. Su, let's go home," Su Yan pulled her into his embrace.
Bai Xue looked up. What was he thinking this time?
"Do you want people to keep laughing at us? Do you want Elder Su to call us for dinner every day?" Su Yan had come to a realization. He wanted to act like a loving husband to Bai Xue. As long as they closed their doors, they could fight all they wanted without giving others a chance to ridicule them.
Bai Xue didn't want the stiffness between them to continue. Mutual destruction was not what she wanted.
"Was the car accident orchestrated by your aunt?" On their way back, Bai Xue asked. The dinner served a reminder that Elder Su was a peacemaker, making her suspicious that he was trying to stir up the little affection that existed between Su Yan and his aunt.
"My Mrs. Su, you're really smart." Su Yan praised.
"We're just going to let it go?" Bai Xue raised an eyebrow, her tone somewhat displeased. Despite Su Yan's safety, a slight oversight could have cost him his life. This could not be easily overlooked!
"What else can we do? She's Elder Su's only child and his biological daughter." Su Yan scoffed, his tone surprisingly aggrieved.
"Hopefully, she has learned her lesson and won't do such stupid things again." Bai Xue thought Su Ruohan was truly foolish. Elder Su had given her enough shares to live a comfortable life, yet she pathetically sought control of the Su's, even going so far as to harm Su Yan!
Did she think that without Su Yan, the Su's would be hers?
"So, wealth can make people disregard familial ties." Su Yan sighed like a poet lamenting the state of the world.
Bai Xue couldn't help but chuckle.
"Now that Mrs. Su has laughed, she's no longer angry, right?" Su Yan knew he was at fault this time. He made too much of a scene, causing them to lose face.
"Can I afford to get angry at you, Young Master Su?" She was just a fool in love with him. How could she really force herself to get angry?
"Ah, my Mrs. Su is the best!"
The night grew deeper, the world quieter.
Gongze Yu clenched his fist as he read the newspaper.
Su Yan, such a lucky man, but still so ungrateful! It was enough to suppress his violent tendencies!
It took him several deep breaths to regain his composure.
His clear eyes lingered on the image of Bai Xue in the newspaper. As always, she was distinctively beautiful and good.
She deserved to be treasured!
"Bai Xue..." He stroked the image of Bai Xue on the paper.
As he thought about her in her childhood, he was reminded of her immature voice.
