The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 224 - 228 Angel in the Mortal World (18)

They had the family driver come and pick me up, and when I returned, the Su Family’s parents were standing at the doorway, excitedly at a loss for words.

Mr. Su was being extremely cautious, constantly watching over Mrs. Su, which immediately tipped me off.

Mrs. Su, with a flushed old face, seemed too embarrassed to speak. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "Baby, there’s something Dad and Mom want to tell you."

Mrs. Su quickly stepped forward, trying to take my hand, but Mr. Su, nervous as ever, hurriedly followed behind her, "Wife, be careful, slow down."

"I know, move aside, you’ve really been so annoying lately." Mrs. Su was impatient with her husband interrupting her time with her daughter.

Mr. Su looked quite wronged, "You’re not the same as before, you have to be extra careful now."

I too smiled and said, "That’s right, Mom, you’re carrying a double burden now, it’s better to be a little cautious."

The Su couple was immediately shocked, "How did you know?" They hadn’t even had the chance to share the news yet.

I replied incredulously, "With Dad acting so obviously, how could I not know?"

Mrs. Su immediately punched Mr. Su, who was behind her, and scolded him, "It’s all your fault, we wanted to surprise our daughter."

"Alright, alright, it’s all my fault, now let’s go back inside and have some bird’s nest soup, shall we?"

I couldn’t even bare to watch as the two of them immediately hugged each other warmly again and went inside, leaving me out in the cold.

Hey, hey, hey, are you forgetting something? Am I still not your most beloved baby?

Well actually, I was quite happy too. The Su Family’s parents were in very good health, and they were definitely going to have a super healthy little baby.

Especially since I might not be around to keep them company in the future, having another child to take my place wouldn’t be too hard on those great parents.

When I obtained the Deputy Divine from Ye Qiu, I had decided that I wanted to see that Different Space known as Heaven.

When I got back to my room and tidied up a bit, I went downstairs, where a lavish dinner had already been prepared in the kitchen.

Mr. Su was already happily peeling shrimp for his wife and deboning fish.

Mrs. Su didn’t have to lift a finger when eating; all she needed to do was open her mouth and wait to be fed.

Facing such a scene, I had become numb and simply pretended not to see the couple across from me openly flaunting their affection.

At dinner, I also heard from my father about the recent events concerning the An Family.

Lately, whether it was An Pei or An Yingming who had come looking for me a few times, or Madam An, who had caused a scene like a shrew at our front door, only to have Mr. Su chase her away.

The An Family, not too long ago, just couldn’t hold on anymore and had to declare bankruptcy. But I heard that An Pei, unwilling to accept the situation, took whatever assets he had left to seek out former business partners for new projects. However, he didn’t manage a comeback and instead got swindled out of the last of his money by a shell company registered overseas.

And just the other day, I heard he was even selling the house he used to live in.

As for An Yingming, he still hasn’t snapped out of the sudden and drastic change in his family’s circumstances. Having been a wealthy heir for over twenty years, he just couldn’t adapt to his new status.

I don’t know what has become of him, but he has pretty much disappeared from public view.

In the end, Mr. Su still patted his chest with lingering fear and remarked, "It’s a good thing you didn’t marry him."

What’s the most important thing for a man?

It wasn’t vast wealth, nor overflowing talent, but rather a spine that would never be crushed by setbacks.

It took courage capable of facing all hardships alone, and then soaring upwards against the current, shooting straight to the sky.

As he spoke, Mr. Su didn’t forget to praise himself as well, "Just like me, if I were in the same situation as him, I definitely wouldn’t let you or your mother suffer, it’s just starting over again..."

"Right, wife?" Mr. Su smiled sycophantically.

"Daughter, when you look for a man in the future, you also have to find someone like your father. Look at your mother, she’s been well taken care of by me all her life."

Mrs. Su really had no way to refute; in fact, it really was the case.

A few days later, nobody knew how An Yingming found out about Su Li’s return. Just as Su Li was stepping out of the door, a shadow suddenly sprang from a hidden corner and rushed in front of Su Li, blocking her way.

Su Li stared at the newcomer for several moments before realizing that this man was the one who, even if he didn’t leave the house, would always have his hair combed sleek and shiny.

But the man in front of her had hair like a bird’s nest, apparently having not bothered to take care of it for a long time. His face was scruffy with stubble, his eyes lifelessly drooping, looking haggard and defeated.

"An Yingming?" Su Li hesitantly called out.

Su Li’s scrutinizing gaze stung An Yingming’s heart, causing him to unconsciously retract the foot he had stepped forward, his eyes wavering from side to side, unwilling to directly meet her eyes again for fear of seeing his embarrassing state reflected in hers.

Compared to the bright and beautiful former fiancée in front of him, An Yingming knew very well that his image was definitely not good-looking, but like an ostrich, he didn’t want to pay attention to these things, as if ignoring them would make them go away. Now, he might already be unworthy of Su Li’s reality.

Otherwise, he feared he wouldn’t even have the courage to appear here.

Su Li: "Do you need something?"

Su Li’s tone was very gentle, as if she was speaking to a friend she had known for many years, but the detachment in her words was clearly evident.

An Yingming’s heart sank.

He would rather face Su Li’s anger and questioning than have her speak with him so calmly, face-to-face.

It is only after loving deeply that one can grow to hate.

The person now displaying a mild smile, calmly looking at him, made him feel extremely alienated.

Could it be that after all these years of affection, she just put it all behind her so easily?

An Yingming’s lips moved for quite some time before he finally managed to speak with a raspy voice, "Don’t you... don’t you have anything you want to ask me?"

Su Li: "No."

"Have you forgotten? Our last phone call covered everything I wanted to ask. There’s nothing I want to ask now."

The faint glimmer of hope that had risen in An Yingming’s eyes slowly extinguished, but he still said with agitation, "I... I can explain."

"At that time, I said I would explain everything to you."

Su Li smiled lightly and indifferently, "Explanations? But I no longer need them now.

"Wasn’t the way you acted back then the best explanation?"

Anxious, An Yingming took a step forward, trying to grasp Su Li’s shoulder in his palm, "No, it’s not like what you think."

Su Li moved back even faster, increasing the distance between them, her voice cooling, "Just talk, no need to get handsy."

An Yingming’s frenzied demeanor reminded her of a movie by Grandma Qiong she had once seen.
