"Yeah, so my dad, my grandpa, my great-grandpa and the lot decided to come and beat me up. From now on, besides school, I’ll be hanging out at my uncle’s place and my big brother’s!"

He really didn’t want an arranged marriage, followed by being expected to have a whole bunch of kids!

How terrifying!

The love of his life was only for Mecha!

Su Wan was curious, "But by changing your surname, aren’t you supposed to go through the Main System? What reason did you give for the application?"

If it were a small family, it might have been fine, but the Mu Family is an ancient noble house after all.

Bai Ze always did things by the book and definitely wouldn’t do something so unreliable.

Su Xiaoge said proudly, "I applied to the Main System, saying I wanted to change my surname to Su. I would take good care of Xiaowan and her baby sister in the future, that I wanted to be their baby’s dearest little uncle, and that I would protect the baby and teach it about Mecha... Then, the Main System approved it."

Su Wan: "..."

Could it be that Bai Ze was infected with a virus?

Since Gu Jue wasn’t home and school was out on break,

Su Wan, like Su Xiaoge, spent most of her time nestled at Lin Ranyue and Gu Lei’s place.

Lin Ranyue was going through a tough stage with severe reactions a few months back, and Gu Lei had to be busy with some school matters.

So they were quite happy to have the two kids around—lively and helpful in case anything came up.

Mu Qingyu and his spouse would also come by from time to time.

Because Ouyang Qing would just happen to be doing health checkups for Su Wan and Lin Ranyue.

On this day, Su Wan had completed her health examination first and was quite pleased with the continued good health of the baby.

She snatched the popcorn and remote control from Su Xiaoge and sat on the couch watching TV.

Su Wan frowned, "You actually watch such melodramatic TV dramas!"

’The Overbearing Commander Falls for Me’, just the title was melodramatic enough.

And in the first episode, the Commander loses his memory, mistaking the female lead’s sister for the one who saved his life and making the female lead’s life miserable.

Su Xiaoge didn’t dare to fight with Su Wan for the remote but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw she didn’t change the channel.

He said, "That’s all they have on TV nowadays. You wouldn’t find anything else even if you switched channels."

Su Wan, "So when you watch this drama, do you put yourself in the place of the male lead? Do you like that female lead? But didn’t you say your true love was Mecha?"

Su Xiaoge, "So I just imagine the female lead as a Mecha."

Su Wan: "..."

She suddenly felt deep sympathy for this Mecha, oh no, this female lead!

It was then that Su Wan really began to pay attention to the actress playing the female lead in the drama.

But no matter how she looked, she found the female lead strangely familiar.

She frowned slightly, "I feel like I’ve seen this female lead somewhere before."

Su Xiaoge, "Really? I don’t feel that way. I think she isn’t as good looking as your Vermilion Bird."

Su Wan: "..."

Although the female lead’s face was clearly the product of plastic surgery, with features so perfectly proportioned they seemed almost AI-designed,

she is still a woman, after all.

The female lead being discussed by Su Wan and Su Xiaoge was standing at that moment in a hospital room, looking at the man lying on the bed who looked very haggard.

In her eyes flickered a trace of pity.

No matter what, this man had been a father to her for so many years, and she had treated him as though he were her biological father.

This was Su Man, who had undergone plastic surgery, and was now beginning to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

Su Man let out a soft sigh, "Dad, since mom insists on a divorce, just let it happen. Don’t keep binding yourselves together like this and hurting each other."

"She wasn’t pregnant, so why lie to me?"

Su Man frowned. "If she hadn’t said she was pregnant at that time, would you have rescued me?"

"I would have!"

"Alright, Dad, you just pass the divorce agreement, and then take good care of your health. I’m starting to earn money from scripts now, and I will take care of you when you’re old. I’m different from your other daughter."

Su Zhen lay on the hospital bed, having just undergone surgery. Although his body was no longer in danger, he was still very weak.

They were forcing him to divorce again!

Why was everyone forcing him to divorce?

Su Man walked out of Su Zhen’s hospital room, turned a corner, and then entered another ward.

When Du Weiwei saw her coming, she immediately asked excitedly, "So, has Su Zhen agreed to the divorce?"

"He didn’t say."

Du Weiwei frowned. "That damn man, if he doesn’t divorce, what is he waiting for? Does he really expect me to have a child for him? He should look at himself!"

Su Man’s brow furrowed slightly. "Mom, do you really plan on giving up on him? Didn’t you say before that he was the best destination for you?"

"Silly girl, never be satisfied with life. Because once you are, you will live worse and worse!"

Du Weiwei flicked aside a lock of hair that had fallen in front of her face and said softly, "Now that Su Zhen has been kicked out of the Su Family, he is nothing. I am only in my forties, with my best years ahead of me. I don’t want to waste them on a loser like him."

"...Mom, did you ever love him?"

Su Man had never before considered such matters of love.

When she initially flirted with Huo Yichang, it was only to take revenge on Su Wan.

Later, to enter the entertainment industry, she clung to the old man Nick and married him.

But on the day of her wedding, at her own ceremony, she fell in love with a man.

That man is now red-hot in the entertainment industry, a new Best Actor discovered by Nick himself.

A handsome man with the bloodline of a Charm Beast.

Standing beside Nick, whose hair was greying and body overweight, Su Man suddenly felt a touch of sadness.

Why? Why? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Why did Su Wan casually marry the distinguished and handsome Commander Gu Jue, whereas she... could only marry someone as ugly and old as Nick?

Thinking about this, Su Man felt extremely irritated!

Du Weiwei was ready to be discharged from the hospital. She had packed her things and said, "Xiaoman, wait for me for a while. I’ll go home and get my things together, and then I will leave with you."

Su Man: "I need to stay here for another day because it’s Grandpa’s birthday."

Du Weiwei frowned. "That old man wouldn’t even give you the management rights of a branch store; he lets Su Wan bully you, and you still go to his birthday?"

With her surgically modified face, exquisitely delicate features, and a naturally cold beauty when silent, Su Man said calmly, "They don’t recognize me, but I am still the adopted daughter of the Su Family. To outsiders, I’m also still the sister-in-law of Commander Gu Jue’s wife."

"But that girl Su Wan, she won’t let you leverage this situation!"

Su Man looked at her mother and started to laugh lightly. "Mom, isn’t that what you taught me? When using others, you can’t let them know."

She kept up appearances, going in and out of the Su Family home, calling the old Mr. Su ’Grandpa,’ Su Zhen ’Dad,’ and Su Ni and the others as ’brothers.’

Even if Su Wan wouldn’t acknowledge it.

She was still Su Wan’s sister, set in stone!

Meanwhile, Su Wan received a call from Grandpa.

On the phone, Old Mr. Su said, "Xiaowan, it’s my birthday tomorrow; can you come?"
