Chapter 452: Chapter 453: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots

This woman appeared to be only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, clad in a long waist-cinched dress, her long hair straight like a waterfall, undoubtedly a great beauty.

While this woman was beautiful, that wasn’t the main point. The key was that her appearance was strikingly similar to Miao Qingqing. At a glance, one might even think it was Miao Xuanxuan who had come.

But upon closer inspection, there were subtle differences between this woman and Miao Qingqing. People who were familiar with Miao Qingqing, like Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru, could still make out the differences.

Additionally, this woman carried an air of nobility about her. This nobility was somewhat mysterious, but standing there, she made one feel that her status was extraordinary, definitely not that of an ordinary person, and unapproachable. In this respect, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan fell short.

The woman looked at Miao Qingqing and then walked towards her with elegant steps, smiling slightly, she said, "You truly are my sister’s child. One look at your face, and I can tell instantly."

"You are..." Miao Qingqing’s lips trembled slightly as she looked at this woman, truly feeling a bit flustered at this moment.

"I am your mom’s younger sister, Su Yuya, your aunt."

"This..." Miao Qingqing’s lips trembled again, wanting to greet her, but she couldn’t make a sound.

"What, you don’t recognize me, your aunt?" Su Yuya looked at Miao Qingqing with a smile.

At this point, Miao Qingqing took a deep breath and said, "This is really too sudden for me. Let’s sit down and talk slowly."

A seasoned executive, Miao Qingqing quickly regained her composure after a brief moment of disorientation and led Su Yuya to sit down on the sofa.

"This young man must be your boyfriend, Song Xiaodong, right?" Su Yuya asked with a smile as she looked at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Aunt, you seem to be about the same age as me. Calling me a young man feels a bit odd."

"Giggle, you really have a way with words." Su Yuya giggled and said, "I’m thirty-four years old, much older than you. Are you still not convinced when I call you a young man?"

Song Xiaodong, surprised, said, "Really? You’re thirty-four? I couldn’t tell at all, I thought you were about the same age as Qingqing."

"You flatter well, giggle." Su Yuya laughed heartily.

After exchanging a few words with Su Yuya, Miao Qingqing finally adjusted her mentality and interjected, "Aunt...!"

This title was really unfamiliar for her. If it were someone she had no relations with, she might have spoken more casually, but at this moment, calling her was genuinely difficult. The implications it carried were indeed significant.

"Qingqing," Su Yuya turned to look at her, smiling and said, "You really are beautiful, much more so than when I was young, and so capable too. Such a big company, and you’re supporting it all by yourself."

Miao Qingqing smiled and then clenched her fists, saying, "Aunt, over the years, no one from my mother’s side has ever reached out to me or come to see me. Your sudden visit is such a surprise for me, and I suspect there must be more to it than just coming to see me, right?"

Su Yuya’s smile faded slightly as she said, "Qingqing, let’s not talk about that for now, shall we? From your birth until now, this is the first time I’ve met you. Don’t you want to have a proper conversation with me?"

Miao Qingqing gently shook her head, but her tone was resolute, "Aunt, while my mother gave birth to me, she did not raise me; frankly, I feel very distant from my mother’s side of the family. Your sudden appearance must be for a reason, so I can’t continue with this kinship until I clear up what it is."

Su Yuya looked at Miao Qingqing, gently tossing her hair with indescribable elegance, and said, "Qingqing, in fact, I’ve been entrusted by our family to bring you back to recognize your ancestors."

"Recognize my ancestors?" Miao Qingqing was slightly stunned.

Su Yuya nodded and said, "From your reaction, it seems your father didn’t tell you much about the Su family when he was alive, or maybe he didn’t know much himself. Our Su family is certainly among the top families in the country. A company like yours is quite ordinary in the Su family; you can imagine how strong our family is."

With a proud look, Su Yuya glanced over at Song Xiaodong and continued, "Originally, as long as your father was alive, the Su family didn’t want to interfere with you guys. But since he’s no longer here, even though you don’t carry the Su surname, you are still of our blood, so we want to bring you back to the Su family."

"Is it that simple?" Miao Qingqing looked skeptically at Su Yuya.

Su Yuya smiled slightly and said, "What else did you think? With the strength of our Su family, would we covet your small company? By the way, don’t you want to know about your mother’s recent situation? Don’t you want to see your birth mother?"

Miao Qingqing’s face flushed, and she stammered, "Can I see my mother?"

"Of course, if you return to the Su family, all the past grudges naturally dissolve. A mother and daughter meeting would be the most natural thing. Do you know that over these years, your mother has also been thinking about you? Being part of a family like ours, various restrictions have kept her from visiting you, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about you. How else would I know your situation so clearly?"

"This..." Miao Qingqing felt that Su Yuya’s explanations seemed reasonable, but she still had a feeling that it wasn’t that simple.

Su Yuya continued with a smile, "Hehe, don’t worry too much about this; in a few days, I’ll take you back to see the Su family. Your mother was supposed to come this time too, but she couldn’t make it because of some special circumstances. She’s really eager to see you now."

Miao Qingqing hesitated for a moment and said, "If we go to the Su family, is it really just a visit? There won’t be anything else?"

"Giggle, that’s your mother’s home, your grandfather’s home. How could we possibly harm you?" Su Yuya giggled, then patted Miao Qingqing on the shoulder, saying, "Don’t rush to answer me now. Since we’ve met for the first time, why don’t you bring your sister along; let’s all have a meal together and enjoy ourselves?"

The plot is a bit complicated, let me think it through, no rush
