Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 656 - 266: Life Like Floating Duckweed

When Hang Yishao suggested that Yan Wuxu wanted to meet Su Ziceng, she did not agree.

Upon learning of Yan Wuxu’s pending interrogation, Su Ziceng had little reaction. She wanted to forget all the past events and had been busy preparing for her wedding with Hang Yishao during this period.

It wasn’t until Yan Wuxi showed up at her door. Yan Wuxu’s fourteen-year-old sister, Yan Wuxi, knocked on Su Ziceng’s apartment door one weekend morning.

Long ago, Su Ziceng noticed that Yan Wuxi resembled Yan Wuxu to some extent, but upon looking closely today, she realized they were not alike. Yan Wuxi’s eyes were clear and her gaze towards Su Ziceng was open and honest. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Sister Ziceng," Yan Wuxi came to see Su Ziceng without Mrs. Yan’s knowledge. She was already a junior high school student and had matured earlier than her peers due to her sister’s situation and family issues.

Yan Wuxi wanted Su Ziceng to help her visit Yan Wuxu.

"Mom verbally disowned her, but every night I hear her crying secretly in her room. I know she wants to see how her sister is doing inside, and my brother and I miss her too," said Yan Wuxi with a dim look in her eyes.

After pondering for a moment, Su Ziceng shook her head, "Your sister doesn’t want you to visit her. Just remember that you have a beautiful and capable sister. She doesn’t want you to see her in disgrace."

Yan Wuxi was somewhat disappointed. Su Ziceng continued to comfort her, "I’ll visit her and tell her you all miss her." Su Ziceng always felt somewhat guilty towards the Yan Family and that disabled child who should be about two or three years old by now.

The conditions in the detention cell where Yan Wuxu stayed were much worse than Chang Mei’s. Chang Mei, involved in economic crimes, was not specifically troubled by anyone, while Yan Wuxu, involved in a drug case and due to the care from the family of the idiot involved, had a bad time in the detention cell.

In the beginning, thanks to Mr. Fei’s attention, she could still have a few hot boxed meals, but in the end, all that was sent to her were instant noodles to be eaten with cold water.

When Su Ziceng saw her, neither of them could say a word at first.

Yan Wuxu shakily took out a pair of earrings from her pocket and presented them to Su Ziceng.

The "Orange Love" lost its luster due to its owner’s dejection.

"These earrings were never meant to be mine," Yan Wuxu broke the silence first. It had been half a month since she asked Hang Yishao to pass on a message to Su Ziceng and Han Fang. She had eagerly waited each day hoping to meet one of them. She had thought Han Fang would be the first to come, but even Su Ziceng had arrived, and Han Fang had not come to see her.

Her gaze, once bright as diamonds, had dimmed day by day. Her once lustrous hair was withering away in the gloomy detention cell without a glimpse of daylight.

"I’m here to bring you a message. Your aunt and Wuxi miss you, and... your father has hired a lawyer for you," Su Ziceng said after seeing Yan Wuxi out. Turning around, she saw Su Qingzhang sitting in his wheelchair. He hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Find a lawyer for her, that Lawyer Li from before."

At this point, it became unclear who owed whom between the Su Family and Yan Wuxu.

"..." Yan Wuxu looked behind Su Ziceng and muttered, "Ziceng, do you still remember the scene when we first met?"

In Yan Wuxu’s eyes, her meeting with Su Ziceng wasn’t at the "Admiration" entrance but on a hot summer day, with Su Ziceng dressed as a peddler and Yan Wuxu wearing a Kelly Women’s College uniform.

"Remember to take care of the baby. I have entrusted him to a county next door. Now, the only thing in my name is the ownership of that villa. Please help me manage it, and the remaining money should be enough for him to reach adulthood." As she spoke the words "reach adulthood," Yan Wuxu’s voice choked with tears, and she lowered her head. She was not a good mother; her child was born with incomplete limbs and his future life was also impaired.

Yan Wuxu, with her head down, didn’t see Su Ziceng’s mouth open. She wanted to tell Yan Wuxu that the villa has been sealed off. But seeing Yan Wuxu’s pale face, she knew she couldn’t say it.

"You don’t need to leave everything to me. Just cooperate well with Lawyer Li. After you enter, actively seek reform, and in a few years, you might be able to get out," Su Ziceng said while taking out the documents provided by Lawyer Li.
