My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 220 - 163 Mom, why don’t you want Uncle?
Chapter 220: Chapter 163 Mom, why don’t you want Uncle?
Jin Qiu changed her clothes and left the church straight away.
Su Nian drove her home, and she didn’t cry in the car, just became quieter than before.
According to Jin Qiu’s wishes, the car stopped at the place she lived with Tang Ge.
Su Nian thought she was tired and wanted to rest, but when she followed her into the house, she saw her dragging out a suitcase and starting to stuff things into it haphazardly.
"Nian’nian, I want to stay at your place for a couple of days."
Su Nian helped her pack, naturally agreeing: "Okay."
At such times, she didn’t know what comforting words to say, fearing that mentioning it would make her even sadder, so Su Nian didn’t say anything, just followed her wishes.
She knew this feeling very well, just like when she divorced Shen Hanxiu and left the home they had lived in together, no matter how resolute she appeared, she would still cry when turning around—people have feelings, after all, especially Jin Qiu, who had loved Tang Ge for so many years.
"Nian’nian, do you think I’m foolish? That woman is already pregnant, and I didn’t know anything," Jin Qiu, holding a photo of her and Tang Ge, asked with red eyes.
Su Nian raised her hand to wipe her tears: "Don’t they say that you grow up after being foolish? It will all pass; such a man, we don’t need."
Jin Qiu sniffled, took the photo out of the frame, and tore the picture of the two of them in half, letting it scatter on the floor.
"Let’s go."
Just as they reached the door and hadn’t touched it yet, the door was opened from the outside. Tang Ge, still in his white wedding suit, stood at the door, frowning and looking at Jin Qiu, "Where are you going?"
Jin Qiu averted her gaze, pulling her suitcase and lifting her foot to step past him. Tang Ge stretched his arm to stop her: "Won’t you listen to my explanation?"
Jin Qiu stopped, looking up at him with red, mocking eyes: "Explain what? Explain why that woman is carrying your child?!"
No matter the backstory and who’s right or wrong, just seeing how he left for Xue Shan today, she had lost all hope in this man.
"Sorry, I am not interested in hearing about your memories together."
Seeing that Jin Qiu was determined to leave, Tang Ge became frantic, quickly reaching out to embrace her, "Give me some time! Let me solve this."
Jin Qiu, infuriated, turned around and slapped Tang Ge across the face. After the sound of the slap, all became quiet around them.
Su Nian stepped forward to pull Jin Qiu: "Let’s go."
This time Tang Ge did not stop them.
Jin Qiu went to Su Nian’s home and cried for two full days.
After work, Wei Lan and Su Nian returned together. In the elevator, Wei Lan worriedly said, "Seeing Jin Qiu like this, I’m concerned too. She and Tang Ge had such a deep relationship, and it turned out this way. I feel like my relationship with Jing Zan is also precarious, and he keeps postponing the wedding date. I don’t know if he’s truly busy or doesn’t want to marry me."
"You might want to find out clearly if your senior is actually at home every night."
Wei Lan shook her head: "No, sometimes he only comes home a few times a month."
"Lanlan, I don’t mean to scare you, but I suggest you ask around, maybe his friends or colleagues at his company, and see if he’s really at work. You are his wife and have the right to know his whereabouts. If a man hides his whereabouts from you, ninety percent there’s an issue."
At least when she was married to Shen Hanxiu, he would always tell her what he was doing and how long he would be gone, and sometimes he would take her on business trips.
"But I don’t know his friends..."
"What about his parents?"
Wei Lan shook her head despondently: "Haven’t met them. He said they’d meet before we got married, but it never happened."
"My goodness, Lanlan, it’s one thing to rush into marriage, but to be so careless with daily life!"
"But, aside from that, I think he treats me quite well. He calls me every day..."
Before Wei Lan could finish, Su Nian scolded her: "So what if he calls?! I’m telling you, you’re too naive! Anyone can make a phone call; does that mean he treats you well? I think you’ve seen too few men; you really don’t know what a good man is like!"
"If he truly loves you, he wouldn’t just call you to remind you to eat on time and be careful going home. A man who loves you would accompany you for meals and take you home every day. I think..."
Wei Lan continued her words: "I think you are blinded because you’re involved! You’re so lucid about our problems, but a mess when it comes to your own. You say, President Shen is such a good man, accompanies you for meals, takes you home, treats you and your child well, why are you so blind to not want to marry him?"
Su Nian gave a perfunctory smile: "I was blind before; I can’t be blind anymore. Talk about your own issues and don’t try to sidetrack. Go home and have a good interrogation with your senior!"
She had hardly managed to distract herself from that man’s image in her mind with busyness, and she did not want his name mentioned in her life anymore; she feared she couldn’t forget him...
Returning home, while her foot was almost healed, Little Su Zhen ran over to blame Su Nian: "It’s all your fault!"
Su Nian squatted down, looking at the pouting Su Zhen and asked: "What happened? I just got home and already upset you?"
"Humph! Because you made Uncle Shen angry! Uncle isn’t talking to me now!"
"He’s ignoring you, so you should ignore him too."
Su Zhen pouted, "No way! You need to go apologize to Uncle Shen right away!"
Su Nian changed the subject, "Mom is making you braised shrimp tonight, go check if Sister Qiuqiu has gotten up."
"Sister Qiuqiu said she went to work, she’s not at home."
Su Nian was stunned and a bit worried, fearing that Jin Qiu might do something rash on her own, especially since she looked listless this morning. Su Nian found it hard to believe she was in the mood to work.
So she hurriedly called Jin Qiu, relieved when the call was quickly connected, hearing Jin Qiu’s voice made her breathe easier, "What’s wrong, Nian’nian?"
Hearing her slightly panting and tired voice, probably from delivering packages, she asked as usual, "When are you getting off work? Hurry back for dinner."
"Cook some extra, I am almost dead tired, just two more packages to deliver then I’ll head back."
"Alright, I’ll cook something nice to reward you."
Su Nian didn’t expect her to recover so quickly, but she knew it was probably just a forced smile. What they needed to do was not to reopen old wounds, but to help her gradually forget.
While Su Nian was halfway through cooking, Jin Qiu arrived home, cursing as she changed shoes, "Damn it, today was just the worst!"
Su Nian poked her head out and asked with a smile, "What happened now? Did little Emma get towed again?"
"You almost had to collect my corpse! I really had bad luck today, almost got hit by a cop! And the infuriating thing is, it was the same cop who towed my car last time! Almost hitting someone and not apologizing, saying ’she won’t die, just get out of the way’, ah, are all cops this unprofessional now?! I really doubt he’s even a real cop!"
Wei Lan joked, "Was the cop handsome? Seems like you two have a history!"
"Handsome my ass! He’s totally unreliable! I better go to a matchmaking agency and find myself an older man."
Su Nian teased her, "I thought you liked younger guys?" Thinking she wouldn’t want to mention romantic issues again, seeing her joking so freely made Su Nian more relieved.
"Young guys are good-looking but useless! For daily life, older men are better! Hey, Su Nian, how did you mess up with someone like Third Young Master Shen who both looks good and can hold up daily life, did you screw it up again?"
"Yeah, I was just asking her about that, really don’t know what’s going on in her head."
Joining in from the side while doing homework, Su Zhen also interrupted, "Exactly! Uncle Shen is tall, handsome, and rich, Mom, why don’t you just go for Uncle Shen?"
Su Bao smacked her head, "Focus on the question! Did you understand it?"
Su Zhen threw her pencil down, "Oh my! I’m too hungry to think!" Then she scurried over, "Mom, are the shrimp ready yet?"
"Let Su Bao finish teaching you the homework before you can have shrimp."
"Wuu~ I’m going to tell Uncle Shen you’re making me starve!"
Su Nian: "..."
After dinner, taking advantage of everyone being around, they video-called Ziyan. Her complexion looked much better, and although her belly was slightly bulged, she still seemed slender.
Jin Qiu joked, "Yanyan, we’re coming to visit you during New Year, we’ve already claimed the position of godmother for the baby, haha!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Su Nian smiled looking at the video, Ziyan seemed to be in a garden, the scenery was quite nice. Through not-so-distant glass walls behind her, one could clearly see Yue Cheng working, making Su Nian think that maybe these two could end up together.
Her Uncle Cheng was pretty reliable, and Ziyan was gentle too. If these two got together, it would be a wonderful match.
A sharp-eyed Su Zhen noticed in the video’s background, Su Yan writing under a pavilion, excitedly pointing at the video and shouting, "Little uncle!"
From Ziyan’s mouth, they learned that after moving to the United Kingdom, Su Yan became much more introverted, studying very hard with top grades, even the teachers hadn’t seen such a smart and sensible child.
Possibly influenced by his mother’s death, he became less communicative in the UK, appearing much more mature than his peers, busy with studying and modeling every day.
Being talented and sensible, ever since he started modeling for Liang Yizhou’s company, he had received many offers for advertisements and TV shows, now already a popular child star.
Su Nian took this opportunity to teach Su Zhen, "Look how hard little uncle is working, and you still won’t study?"
"Okay! But Mom, when can I go visit little uncle?"
"If you do well in the final exams, Mom will take you to see little uncle."
Su Zhen pouted, asking, "What counts as doing well?"
"At least one hundred percent."
Disheartened, Su Zhen turned and ran to find Su Bao, "Su Bao, teach me how to do homework quick!"
It had been about a week since Su Nian had spoken a word to Hanxiu, even if they crossed paths on the way to work or in the company meeting room, they only interacted as supervisor and subordinate, or more precisely, like... strangers.
Su Nian thought this was their end until the first weekend of November, when Su Zhen came and said, "Mom, we have a parent-teacher meeting at school! Can you and Uncle Shen go together?"
