Chapter 201: Chapter 200: Bad Guy!

Seeing Lu Xuan cry, Mianmian withdrew her hand.

She took out two handkerchiefs from her small bag, giving one to each of her great-nephews, and signaled to them with her eyes.

But although the great-nephews saw Mianmian winking, they didn’t understand her intention and just kept staring dumbly as Lu Xuan cried.

Mianmian had no other choice but to take the little hands of the great-nephews and place them under Lu Xuan’s eyes, "Good grandsons, hurry and wipe your mother’s tears."

Really, she, who couldn’t even see her own mother, had to teach them, Humph!

Mianmian’s little mouth pouted as she hugged Bai Bai and stepped back two paces to make room. When she looked up and saw the second nephew standing there dumbfounded, watching the trio, her small eyebrows furrowed and she dashed over to his side, reprimanding, "Why are you still standing here looking silly? Go and comfort the mother of your child, honestly!"

Then she thrust another small handkerchief forcefully into Su Chenyi’s palm.

Su Chenyi hesitated.

Mianmian’s frown deepened as she clenched her fist, her expression indicating that if Su Chenyi did not move soon, she would be ready to give the younger generation a lesson.

Su Chenyi noticed the change in Mianmian’s expression and quickly squatted next to them, gently saying, "If there’s trouble, just speak up. We’re all here to help you solve it."

Little Auntie said Lu Xuan was in trouble, so that must be the case. He just needed to follow Little Auntie’s lead.

Su Chenyi’s words of comfort made Lu Xuan lift her head to look at him.

She still felt that Su Chenyi was the same as before their divorce, with his mind occupied by nothing but painting. Even on their wedding anniversary, Su Chenyi could get inspired by the romantic setting and suddenly return to his studio room to paint.

So even after seeing Su Chenyi, Lu Xuan kept telling herself to ignore him.

Since it was impossible for them to be together again, they shouldn’t linger on each other.

Yes, it was no longer possible.

Lu Xuan quickly composed herself, stood up, and offered a small laugh, "I really don’t need any help. You’ve misunderstood. I just came here on a whim, and I’ll be heading back soon."

There’s always a way; she could always find a way.

Mianmian became anxious upon hearing this, "Oh dear, don’t go back. If you do, your health will only get worse—and hers will too!"

After coming down the mountain, Mianmian had learned a lesson. The future she saw wasn’t set in stone; people’s choices mattered greatly.

Changing the fate of the people involved wasn’t a bad thing, but it also depended on their own choices. If Lu Xuan chose to go back, then the future would remain the same.

Keeping silent about what she had foreseen, she tried to get her great-niece-in-law to open up voluntarily, as she was the mother of her great-nephews after all. But this approach wasn’t working.

Lu Xuan, who had just heard Mianmian say "she can’t wait," paused, then looking at Su Chenyi, asked, "Is your family spying on me too?"

Su Chenyi furrowed his brows, "Who’s spying on you?"

Realizing her mistake when Su Chenyi responded that way, Lu Xuan’s overly thin face showed a hint of embarrassment, "No, no one’s spying on me. But if you weren’t spying, how would you know that both my health and hers are deteriorating?"

She hadn’t given away the existence of another person.

Su Chenyi sighed, "It’s because our family’s Little Auntie can tell fortunes. She figured it out."

Mianmian took the opportunity to add, "That’s right, that’s right, Mianmian figured it out. My dear daughter-in-law, your Dichotomy Palace indicates you’re sick, and someone very important to you is also sick. You’re short on money, desperately in need of it, which led you back to the Lu Family. But you’ve severed ties with the Lu Family, so you didn’t get their help."

"You’ve come here seeking my second nephew’s help, yet you’re hesitant and afraid to speak up."

"I wanted you to say it yourself because it just didn’t seem right coming from Mianmian’s mouth. But since you’re unwilling to talk, I have no choice but to speak."

Little Bun’s chattering became more and more adept, and as she spoke, she shook her head, her smooth, bald head reflecting light at various angles.

Lu Xuan’s mind was a mess right now, because what the little elder in front of her said was the truth.

But even with her thoughts in disarray, she couldn’t help but have her gaze uncontrollably drawn to the little elder’s shiny bald head. This made Lu Xuan both want to cry and laugh at herself, so she wryly smiled and said, "You’re right about everything, I came to the Su Family with a purpose."

After saying that, she looked at her two sons, "I’m not a good mother, you don’t need to call me... you don’t need to be so clingy, to get close to me."

Lu Xuan originally wanted to say, "You don’t need to call me mom," but felt that it would be too hurtful to her sons, so she changed her words at the last second.

She even tried to push away her children who were constantly clinging to her with a cold expression.

But instead of pushing them away, her hands were grabbed, and she was embraced by the twins.

Su Chaoyu said with teary eyes, "Mom is a good mom, Mom loves me. I just want to stick to Mom, to be close to Mom!"

Su Chaoyang also said, "Me too, me too, I also want to stick to Mom, to be close to Mom, I love Mom."

Tears burst from Lu Xuan’s eyes once again.

Their innocent expressions of love made her heart twist painfully.

"I’ve saved a lot of money by selling my paintings over the years. Tell me how much you need, and I’ll transfer it to you," Su Chenyi said. "You are their mother, and the children need you."

Lu Xuan looked up at Su Chenyi and discovered that his gaze was sincerely fixed on her. Suddenly she asked, "What have you been doing these days?"

Although Su Chenyi was puzzled as to why Lu Xuan would ask such a question, after thinking for a moment, he still answered, "I have been completing the tasks Little Auntie gave me, helping some mothers who were rescued from the mountainous areas find their worth in society and reenter the workforce."

His voice was gentle, just like it was two years ago.

But, two years ago, he often said to Lu Xuan with that same warm tone, "Lu Xuan, I’m inspired again, you truly are my Muse."

"I know I may sound a bit strange, but I still want to ask you, what am I in your eyes now?" Lu Xuan asked again.

Su Chenyi sighed.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered how, when he used to talk to Lu Xuan, he would always add, "You are my Muse," after saying her name.

No wonder Lu Xuan asked such a question, after all, in his eyes, what he really saw was indeed not Lu Xuan.

Thinking of this, Su Chenyi replied seriously, "You are Lu Xuan, now in my eyes, you are just Lu Xuan."

Lu Xuan’s eyes sparkled, almost bursting into tears of joy, "Yes, I am Lu Xuan."

Mianmian watched the two young ones talk for a long time without getting to the point and felt so impatient she wanted to stomp her feet. Why are adults so strange? Is it that all adult couples suddenly start gazing at each other and then become weird?

It’s incomprehensible!

Fortunately, Mianmian didn’t have to be anxious for long, because Lu Xuan finally began to speak up.

"I want to borrow money for my teacher’s treatment. She has Fabry disease, and I want to save her," Lu Xuan said, lowering her eyes and pausing before continuing, "As for me, my illness is not serious, it’s okay."

"What do you mean ’it’s not serious’?" Mianmian was about to burst with frustration, her little tummy all puffed up, "Your illness is very serious, yet you think of hiding it, and that’s what bad grown-ups do!"

She clenched her little fists in righteous indignation, completely baffled by such a complicated person.

Never mind, since she had already spoken about what she had calculated, there was no need to hide it any longer.

If Lu Xuan didn’t want to talk, she’d tell everything!

"Your illness could be life-threatening too," Mianmian said, her little face stern, "The Lu Family doesn’t want to save you, so you don’t need to feel sad, oh, you originally were not their child, after all."
