"Second sister-in-law." Su Ruohan had no intention of talking to Li Xiurong, but given that Li Xiurong was the person Su Yan cared about the most right now, she decided to forge a relationship with her.
"Ruohan, I didn't think I'd see you again." Li Xiurong said warmly, taking her hand.
"Indeed!" Su Ruohan replied, touched.
Seeing this, Su Yan frowned.
He had forgotten to remind his aunt on his way back to be wary of his beloved aunt.
While taking Li Xiurong back to her room, he wanted to warn her, but seeing her so happy, he couldn't bear to shatter her self-imagined happiness.
"Aunt, you rest well, I'll be going now and will visit you tomorrow."
Li Xiurong was taken aback. "Go... you're coming to see me tomorrow? Where are you going?"
"I'm currently living outside." Su Yan suddenly remembered that he had not yet told his aunt that he had married Bai Xue.
"Why? Did you fight with your grandfather?"
"No, I'm married now and have moved out." Su Yan knew if he didn't tell her, someone else would "kindly" tell his aunt, so he simply said it himself.
Li Xiurong was shocked. Her favorite nephew was married!
Most importantly, he had not told her about his marriage!
This made her unhappy, feeling that she was unimportant. Her face darkened.
"The marriage is a big event, why didn't you tell me?"
"It was sudden, Aunt Li. You were unwell those days, so I didn't want to bother you."
Hearing that her nephew did not say anything out of concern for her health, Li Xiurong's expression softened significantly.
"Who is it? Someone's daughter?" she casually asked.
Su Yan was thinking about how to answer without upsetting her.
"Who is it exactly? Why can't you say it?" Li Xiurong was getting impatient. Then it suddenly occurred to her – "Could it be Bai Wanrou?"
From what she remembers, Su Yan and Bai Wanrou were quite close, but she didn't like Bai Wanrou, and if he had really married her, she definitely wouldn't give Bai Wanrou a good face!
"It's not her." Mention of Bai Wanrou made Su Yan feel like it was a thing of the past.
Li Xiurong was relieved. It didn't matter who, as long as it was not her!
But what Su Yan said next almost made her faint.
"It's Bai Xue."
"What did you say?" she exclaimed.
"Bai Xue."
"The daughter of that whore?" Her voice started to tremble.
"Yes." Su Yan nodded.
"You...You..." Li Xiurong was speechless in anger.
"Aunt, please calm down." Su Yan quickly supported her.
"Calm down! How am I supposed to calm down! You can marry anyone else! Why did you have to marry the daughter of that whore! She caused the death of your uncle and your brother!" Li Xiurong was on the verge of collapsing emotionally.
"I didn't want to marry her either, but…" That unbearable story, Su Yan didn't want to share it with his aunt.
"But what? Was there someone else who forced you to marry someone you didn't want to? You'd be better off marrying Bai Wanrou than Bai Xue!" Li Xiurong shouted how she felt.
"I originally intended to marry Bai Wanrou." But she abandoned him. Every time Su Yan thought about Bai Wanrou's distrust, he felt humiliated.
Her betrayal hurt his pride too much!
"Then why did you end up marrying Bai Xue!" Li Xiurong truly could not accept the fact that he married the daughter of her enemy.
"Was it your grandfather? Did your grandfather force you to marry her, right?" Li Xiurong thought the only one who could force Su Yan to marry someone he didn't want to was his father-in-law.
She also thought about how her father-in-law didn't like her because he favored Dong Anni, that whore, to be his daughter-in-law.
