“If you still want this younger brother of yours, stop going to Xiao Yu and asking him to forgive. Su Qin and the others don’t deserve Xiao Yu’s forgiveness,” Yang Zhenwei spoke up when Su Xuan was about to say something.
He was somewhat disappointed in Su Xuan Xuan now. She had forgotten all the words he had given her when teaching her martial arts.
Turning her from someone with clear rewards and punishments, clear loves and hates, into an indecisive person—it was his mistake. Back then, he shouldn’t have helped Feng Zhen let Su Xuan Xuan marry him.
The years of married life had eroded the pride in Su Xuan Xuan’s heart and the aura around her.
“Is it really that serious?”
“Yes, it’s so serious that if you forgive them along with Su Jiu, I’ll think you’re idiots.” Yang Zhenwei bluntly stated, “We’re not worried about Su Jiu at all.”
Su Xuan Xuan’s eyes flickered slightly, instantly understanding Yang Zhenwei’s meaning. Was he worried that she would become one of those idiots?
“Grandfather…”
“There’s only half a month left until Xiao Yu’s wedding. Are you sure you want to mess around here? To make Xiao Yu completely disgusted with you, completely indifferent? Is that what you want?” Yang Zhenwei’s gaze on Su Xuan was icy.
What’s going on in her head? Is it made of tofu or straw?
“Su Xuan Xuan, use your brain and think about why Xiao Yu would be like this.” Yang Zhenwei really didn’t want to bother with Su Xuan Xuan, the idiot.
The more he said, the more insulting it felt to his own intelligence.
Despite feeling embarrassed by Yang Zhenwei’s words, Su Xuan Xuan couldn’t bring herself to continue. Without getting any information from Yang Zhenwei and the others, she had to go find Wang Jinhe; she must know something.
Feeling the light in front of her being blocked, Wang Jinhe raised her head to look at the person in front of her, eyebrows slightly furrowed. “What do you want with me?”
“Do you know anything about Xiao Yu? Why won’t he forgive his father? And why did he distance himself from me when I talked to him about it?” Su Xuan Xuan asked three consecutive questions.
Her questions made Wang Jinhe assess her from head to toe. He hadn’t expected her to ask such things, which was quite interesting.
“I do know, but I won’t tell you. As for why he distanced himself from you, you already have thoughts in your heart, so there’s no need to ask me that question.” Things that she herself understood, coming to her to ask, what’s the point?
Su Xuan Xuan fell silent and didn’t speak, but she had more or less guessed the reason.
“I hope you can tell me what happened to him. There have been changes over the years, especially now…” Describing the current Su Yu as cold-hearted was not an exaggeration.
Before, people in the capital used to say that Su Yu’s personality had changed drastically. She didn’t believe it at first, but now she did.
The current Su Yu was like the weather, changing rapidly. She could be kind to you one moment and treat you like a stranger the next. Su Xuan Xuan took this as a lesson.
Xiao Bao and Xiao Zhi were eavesdropping outside, listening to the conversation inside. During this time, they also noticed Su Yu’s attitude towards Su Xuan Xuan, and Xiao Bao couldn’t quite understand it.
Xiao Zhi pulled Xiao Bao away, and after returning to their room, he whispered, “I think Auntie must have done something to make Godfather angry, or else he wouldn’t treat her like this.”
“I think so too.”
Feng Qinling stood on the side, looking back and forth, not knowing what to do for a moment.
In these past few days, the situation at home made her unable to help but feel a bit scared, but more than that, she was worried. She didn’t know what her mother did to anger her uncle, but she could feel that her uncle’s gaze towards her was completely different from before.
She didn’t want her uncle to treat her badly.
At night, when Feng Qinling went to Su Xuan Xuan’s room, she looked at Su Xuan Xuan, who was sitting at the table with a troubled expression. Biting her lip, she asked, “Mom, what’s going on between you and Uncle?”
“Nothing.” Su Xuan Xuan looked at her daughter and whispered.
However, Feng Qinling didn’t believe what Su Xuan Xuan said at all. “Mom, you’re lying. It’s not like what you’re saying at all.”
“Ling’er…”
“Uncle now looks at me with a much colder gaze, and he’s not as nice to me as before. If you really have nothing with Uncle, why would he treat me like this?” Despite being small, Feng Qinling knew everything she needed to know, especially being such a sensitive person.
Su Xuan Xuan stared blankly at Feng Qinling, not knowing how to explain to her.
“Ling’er, if someone has hurt you a lot and apologizes when they realize their mistake, would you forgive them?” Su Xuan Xuan knew it was wrong to ask such a question to a child, but she couldn’t help but ask.
Feng Qinling looked at Su Xuan Xuan in confusion, “If someone has done a lot of harm to me, why should I forgive them? I’m not foolish. If I forgive them, would they continue to hurt me?”
Feng Qinling didn’t understand what Su Xuan Xuan was thinking, finding the question she asked quite strange.
Su Xuan Xuan stared blankly at Feng Qinling, “Is there really no room for any redemption?”
“None.”
“What if someone, in the name of doing good for you, asks you to forgive them? What would you do?” Su Xuan Xuan looked at Feng Qinling and continued after a moment of hesitation.
“I would be very angry and then cut off ties with that person.” Feng Qinling spoke directly without hesitation.
However, her words turned Su Xuan Xuan pale, and after a while, Su Xuan Xuan looked at Feng Qinling. “Is there really no room for any redemption?”
“None.”
Su Xuan Xuan suddenly didn’t know what to say.
“Mom, did you do something to Uncle, and that’s why he’s treating you like this?” Feng Qinling stared at Su Xuan Xuan and asked seriously.
Su Xuan Xuan opened her mouth but couldn’t bring herself to say anything.
“I know. Grandpa and Grandma did something to hurt Uncle. Now that Grandpa realizes his mistake and wants to apologize, you want to persuade Uncle to forgive him?” Feng Qinling had eavesdropped on their conversation earlier.
“How do you know?”
“I overheard it.”
“Can’t we really go back to how things were before?” Su Xuan Xuan asked blankly.
She didn’t know who else to ask now, so she could only ask her own daughter.
“Why go back to before? I heard before that they sent many girls from the brothels to Uncle. Mom, if you were in his shoes, what would you think? Besides, they did a lot of things to hurt Uncle before. I support Uncle in not forgiving them.” Feng Qinling directly expressed her thoughts.
Su Xuan Xuan instinctively turned her head, afraid to look into her daughter’s serious and determined eyes.
