Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Wanxia’s Doubts_1

Su Wanxia’s brows furrowed even deeper after listening to what Jesse had said.

Because Jesse’s words had interrupted all of her maybes—

And made her fully realize the fact now laid before her—that the person in the photo was indeed related to them.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt in her heart. Were they really related to them?

"Summer, I didn’t tell them about your existence. While they haven’t found you yet, you should quickly ask your mother about the reason behind this..." Jesse said to Su Wanxia, his voice tinged with nervousness, as though it wasn’t a good thing for those people to find Su Wanxia.

Su Wanxia had slowly regained her composure from the shock, but her heart still couldn’t accept the sudden accident.

"Jesse, who are these people, and why are they looking for the child of the person in the photo?"

"They—" Jesse paused.

"Summer, they have a very extensive network of connections, and their power is formidable, but what exactly they do, I honestly don’t know for now. I’ll ask my father about it in the next few days, he might know something." Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so anxious about her.

"Okay, alright," Su Wanxia replied, somewhat listlessly.

"Call me if there’s any update."

"Okay, thank you, Jesse," Su Wanxia’s tone was somewhat ethereal.

"Summer, don’t thank me."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanxia stared at the person in the photo, as if in a dream, unblinking.

This photo must be quite old; looking at the colors, it was definitely not the original, probably a scanned copy.

The person in the photo seemed to be about her age now, which explained why their features were so similar.

She was wearing a light blue pleated maxi dress, a smile in her eyes as she stood under a flowering tree, but the photo was focused on her, so the background was unclear. However, Su Wanxia knew it was a phoenix tree.

Such fiery red and beautiful leaves could belong to none other than a phoenix tree—

Who took this photo of her? Although she stood under the phoenix tree, the photographer’s eyes captured only her, not the beautiful scenery behind her—

What stories lay hidden behind this one photo?

Her gaze lingered on the photo for a long while before she propped her forehead with her hands, massaging her temples repeatedly.

Her head ached terribly, her heart was in chaos, flustered, ever since she had seen the photo, she had felt a persistent unease, as if something was about to happen.

She sighed deeply, closed her computer, and stood up to walk downstairs.

Su Wanxia’s mother was leaning on the sofa, massaging herself with a massager.

Su Wanxia reined in her tense and anxious emotions, forced a smile on her lips, and walked toward her mother.

"Mom, let me do the massage for you."

"No need, I’m home all day with nothing to do, just passing the time by giving myself a little massage," Su Wanxia’s mother said, stopping her action and looking at Su Wanxia with a kind face.

Su Wanxia laughed a couple of times, then sat down beside her.

"I’ll give you a massage for a while. Speaking of which, I haven’t properly given you a massage since I came back. Mom, don’t you think I’m being an incompetent daughter~" Su Wanxia said as she took the massager from her mother’s hands, then started massaging her mother’s legs, resting them on her own.

"Hehe, it’s not a job, how can you talk about incompetence? Xiaxia, you are great, you’ve already sacrificed so much for our family," Su’s mother sighed deeply after speaking.

"Mom, that’s all in the past, no need to bring it up again," Su Wanxia said with a helpless expression.

"Hehe, alright, I won’t mention it. But the way things are between you and Yingchen now, it worries me," she laughed gently.

"Yingchen and I—right now, we can only take things one step at a time." Her mother knew everything about her and Mu Yingchen, so there was no need to sugarcoat reality.

"Xiaxia, that’s not fair to you," Su’s mother said, looking at her with a worried face.

"Mom, in love, there’s no such thing as fairness, just like what happened 6 years ago. I hid the truth and agreed to his mother’s condition to leave him. How fair was that to him?"

Su’s mother listened to her and could only shake her head helplessly.

"Moreover, after I came back, he still treated me as before, even knowing better how to love me than he did in the past. That’s why I went against his mother’s wishes and stayed with him," Su Wanxia’s face was filled with a happy smile.

"Sigh, you’re both grown up; we can’t control your thoughts. No matter what, I just hope you’re happy," she sighed.

"Mom? You’re not opposed?" Su Wanxia asked in surprise, remembering when she had first come back, her mother had told her not to associate with Mu Yingchen.

Su’s mother gave her a resigned look, "Would opposing make a difference? When you came back, I told you not to get involved with him again, but aren’t you two together now? So, instead of opposing, I’d rather wish you happiness."

"Mom, you’re the best. You are the best mother in the world, much better than Mu Yingchen’s mother," Su Wanxia’s voice became more childlike as she spoke.

Su’s mother couldn’t help but chuckle: "You and your words~"

"Hehe, I just said it off the cuff."

"Every parent in the world, they all consider their children," Su’s mother sighed, saying something cryptic.

Su Wanxia thought her mother was comforting her and did not delve deeper into the implications of her words. She laughed lightly and asked curiously, "Mom, why didn’t you give me a brother or sister, or even a younger sibling? Then I wouldn’t have been so lonely growing up without a playmate."

Su’s mother’s smile tensed for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal. However, Su Wanxia still noticed it.

"You know my health hasn’t been good. When I gave birth to you, the doctors said it was dangerous, so your father and I decided just to have you," she explained.

"Did it hurt when you gave birth to me?"

"Pain—of course, it hurt," Su’s mother’s eyes flickered with an unusual look, then she continued, "Giving birth is always painful for women. It’s incredibly intense; without that pain, how can they give birth? How can they learn to be tender?"

"Sounds terrifying," Su Wanxia frowned.

"Hehe, it’s something every mother goes through."

"Mom, do you have any sisters?"

As soon as she asked, Su’s mother’s expression changed, and her smile froze.

Su Wanxia felt a chill in her heart. Her mother’s reaction was too abnormal.

"I mean other cousins, aunts, things like that. It seems I’ve never met any growing up. Or did I meet them when I was little and then forget about them as I grew up?" she asked her mother with a somewhat naive expression.

Su’s mother’s expression eased a bit, and she chuckled, "Hehe, I have a couple of distant cousins. It’s just that I left my hometown very early on and haven’t kept in touch for a long time."

"So that’s how it is. I wondered why we had so few relatives," she said.
