Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 473 - 392: Is the Birth Mother Indifferent like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Turns the Tables with a Reckless Move 32_2
"Your coming here to speak on my behalf has already troubled you and Dr. Xie enough; I dare not impose further," Su Zhiruan politely declined.
She knew that Madam Xie’s current kindness towards her was solely because she was a girl approached by the descendant of the Lord of the Plane, and perhaps Madam Xie somewhat treated her as a prospective daughter-in-law in her heart.
Su Zhiruan had a mental scale for measuring relationships. As it stood, their encounters had been nothing more than fleeting, and considering that Madam Xie had already rendered her a significant favor, she felt it inappropriate to trouble the family further.
"Don’t worry about troubling us; there’s no one at home, and my mother just wants someone to talk to and keep her company," Xie Yanshang looked towards Madam Xie, a faint expression in his eyes. Madam Xie instantly picked up on his cue and continued on his behalf.
"Yes, the house is large and quite empty; it would be nice if you could move in to chat. When the time comes, Auntie will take you shopping and buy you some pretty new clothes. If you stay at your home, what would you do if they come up with new schemes to harm you?" Madam Xie spoke candidly to her.
Su Zhiruan thought about it and felt it indeed made sense.
Even if she didn’t plan to stay at the Xie Family residence long-term, for now, if Su Qin and Ning Fu knew she was with the Xie family, they would assume she remained there and wouldn’t deliberately search for her whereabouts. If she refused again, Su Qin and Ning Fu might find her new abode following the clues and continue to harm her. freewebnσvel.cøm
Su Qin felt somewhat embarrassed. He thought this was a private family matter, and with all the family’s dirty laundry aired, he felt his face couldn’t hold up. Looking towards Su Zhiruan, he said, "Ruanruan, how about returning home with Daddy? I’ll arrange a new place for you. Didn’t we agree, after your exams, Daddy is going to give you an apartment? Let’s go view some houses now, and then settle on one for you!"
"Mr. Su, perhaps you should first take care of your family’s matters; it seems you’re quite busy," Madam Xie said in a very gentle and proper manner. She glanced back at the slightly pregnant Zhu Manqing and Ning Fu, foolish and silly on the floor, and smiled lightly.
Su Qin also realized that his words were merely for maintaining his own dignity, and he awkwardly glared at the two persons behind him.
It was only then that he began to feel some regret.
Had the choices he had made previously been mistakes?
"You are the head of the family. I believe the origin of this problem is the conflict between these two," Su Zhiruan pointed towards Zhu Manqing and Ning Fu, lowered her gaze with a soft sigh, and glanced at Su Qin, "Daddy, perhaps it’s best to resolve the issue between these two first. Bringing me into it might only cause more trouble for you."
Having said that, with a sigh, she followed behind Madam Xie and Xie Yanshang.
And Su Qin could only stand there, dumbfounded, watching as Su Zhiruan left with Madam Xie and Xie Yanshang.
Regret and remorse grew heavier in his heart. The former Su Qin would have never imagined encountering such a situation.
He had always felt that his life was smooth sailing. In his youth, he got along well with his childhood sweetheart, and they later married, having two children.
Gradually, however, he discovered that the fiery passion of youth, so thrilling in the beginning, slowly vanished within marriage. To outsiders, they looked like a perfect couple, but only Su Qin knew that both their hearts had shifted. Even if they wanted to return to the way things were, it was destined not to be.
It’s like a mirror, clear and bright when first held, symbolizing wholehearted devotion, but over time, without care or cleaning, it becomes more fragile, even cracked. A thick layer of dust obscures it, making it hard to see the other’s thoughts and feelings.
And once any part of it shows the slightest crack, the relationship becomes increasingly precarious and fleeting. At that point, a mere touch to the fissure can cause the crack to spread across the entire mirror in an instant, shattering it completely, irreparable.
"Let’s get a divorce, Ning Fu," Su Qin took a few steps towards Ning Fu, helping her up from the floor, but his words were not as gentle as his actions. He repeated once more, "Since things have come to this, let’s get a divorce!"
