Chapter 226: Chapter 226 What Eye Does He Have_1

Su Wanxia listened to her father’s words and felt a wave of disappointment. She had considered the possibility that they might not agree, but she didn’t expect her father to refuse so bluntly.

"But—you guys—"

"Xiaxia, don’t worry, we’re fine. Both your dad and I are in good health. You don’t have to worry about us anymore," her mother also couldn’t help but speak up.

Feeling helpless, Su Wanxia could only let out a heavy sigh, "Alright then, I will still come and visit you often with Shanshan and Yaoyao, but you have to promise me, consider this matter again in a few years."

Seeing that Su Wanxia wasn’t giving up hope, her parents smiled helplessly and nodded, "Okay, in a few years, we’ll think about it."

Only then did Su Wanxia nod her head somewhat reassured. She really didn’t want the two of them to live alone and lonely in this city.

But now, she couldn’t come back to the city at all. First, because of Yaoyao and Shanshan, and secondly because of her grandfather; he truly was old. His hair and eyebrows were as white as the clouds in the sky. Although he was in good physical health, there were times when his body wouldn’t cooperate.

"Xiaxia, when do you plan to—leave..." Her mother’s voice was hesitant; she didn’t want to ask, yet she had to. She knew that Su Wanxia wouldn’t stay for long this time.

Her father and Jian Manhui both set their sights on her, clearly eager to know how much longer she would stay.

Su Wanxia lowered her eyes and then forced a smile, "Well, in a couple of days—I’ll spend another day with you at home tomorrow, and leave the day after that—"

"What? So soon?" Jian Manhui couldn’t help but frown and blurt out. She had just come back for a few days and was already leaving the day after tomorrow.

Su Wanxia smiled helplessly and winked at her.

She was afraid that if she stayed too long, the news of her return would leak out. She didn’t want him to know.

"What, does Miss Manman actually find it hard to part with me?" Su Ran suddenly changed his usual demeanor, speaking with a teasing tone.

Jian Manhui was instantly speechless and looked heavenward; how could someone be so narcissistic and thick-skinned!

She was now too lazy to give him even a glance, ignoring him completely before continuing to speak to Su Wanxia, "Are you really not planning to see Xiaolan and the others?"

Su Ran was once again ignored and couldn’t help but curl the corner of his mouth in frustration.

How much did this woman dislike him? He couldn’t recall having offended her that much...

However, the words of Su Ran stunned Su Wanxia and the others; they hadn’t expected such a drastic change in his personality when faced with Jian Manhui. His aloofness was gone, and he’d turned into a playboy—

"Wanxia!" Jian Manhui called out to Su Wanxia with great frustration, prompting Su Wanxia to chuckle.

"Hmm, let’s not meet this time—I’m not disappearing forever. I’ll definitely apologize to them when I come back next time."

Shanshan was listening to their conversation with her ears perked up. Hearing her mommy say she would leave the day after tomorrow, she immediately felt anxious. The day after tomorrow? How could that work? She hadn’t found out where her daddy was yet; she hadn’t told him that he already had children and didn’t need to marry—What was she to do...

Su Wanxia and the others were absorbed in their own conversation, completely unaware of Shanshan’s distressed expression at the moment.

Having confirmed the situation with her parents and when she was leaving, there wasn’t much else to do. The only concern everyone had was regarding Mu Yingchen’s marriage, but since Wanxia wasn’t bringing it up, they didn’t dare to broach the subject, afraid of upsetting her.

Her father and Su Ran went aside to play chess, while her mother and Shanshan had fun together. Su Wanxia looked around and, after notifying her mother, went upstairs with Jian Manhui.

The two of them arrived in the bedroom, and after searching a few places, Su Wanxia finally pulled out the astonishing contract that she had asked Jian Manhui to look at before.

"Manhui, keep this contract for me, will you—" Su Wanxia said, looking at the file bag in her hand with a dim expression.

She wasn’t at home, and keeping the contract there wasn’t safe, not because she was afraid of losing it, but because she was worried her parents might see it and add to her troubles.

Jian Manhui heaved a sigh and could only stretch out her hand to take it.

She then frowned at Su Wanxia, who had a look of dejection on her face, "Have you really decided to just leave like this?"

"Huh—what else can I do? He’s about to start his own life again; should I disturb him now and become the notorious third party who ruins his marriage?"

"Wanxia, I think you should be able to understand what he means..." Jian Manhui suddenly straightened her face, seriously looking at Su Wanxia sitting on the edge of the bed.

When she first saw the news, she too was shocked and couldn’t understand it at all.

But after coming here, she couldn’t see any sign of anger or sorrow on Wanxia’s face, only a faint sense of helplessness and loss.

Only then did she begin to understand why Mu Yingchen had done this, why he had suddenly announced his marriage to the public.

Perhaps—it was all for her—

After all, he loved her so much, loved her to the point of losing himself. They had all seen it over the years; how could he possibly marry that white lotus?

She thought that maybe Mu Yingchen didn’t want to wait any longer, couldn’t wait anymore—

Su Wanxia’s pretense was pierced through, and the fearlessly calm smile on her face instantly shattered.

"Wanxia, in fact, it’s not impossible for you two to be together..."

Upon hearing her words, Su Wanxia immediately looked at her with hope.

Jian Manhui’s expression became solemn: "Tell Mu Yingchen about this, let him get his mother’s contract, and then you won’t have to be bound by those insufferable conditions. Free as the sky and the earth, you two can be together however you want."

The hopeful look in Su Wanxia’s eyes faded in an instant, and she rolled her eyes at Jian Manhui.

It’s not that she hadn’t considered it, but doing so would definitely worsen her relationship with his mother even more.

In the end, he would be the one put in a difficult position, a real sandwich cookie. Moreover, it wasn’t just the contract at issue now, but also the grudges between their two families; these were not matters easily settled.

Just like before, when she asked him to choose between his mother and her, he gave her an answer that wasn’t really an answer.

Therefore, she wasn’t going to tell him the contents of this document.

"Manhui, I don’t have a choice right now. If he really gets married, maybe it’s a relief for each of us—"

Jian Manhui helplessly rubbed her forehead, what a mess this all was—

Su Wanxia lowered her eyelids, then slowly narrowed her eyes, "But really, what was he thinking? He couldn’t even find a marriage partner that’s easy on the eyes, that white lotus is so annoying to look at!"

What angered Su Wanxia the most was this point. She found Bai Yudie insufferable in every way, and though she might have felt better if Mu Yingchen had chosen someone else, his potential bride was the one person she hated most—Bai Yudie, which made her even more displeased.

Just the thought of Bai Yudie’s smug face made her want to throw her out of Mu Yingchen’s world.
