Chapter 41 Encounter with Fang Qinghui Mother and Daughter
After having breakfast, Mu Xiwan had nothing to do and decided to bring Xiaohua from the rental house.
She had already asked her grandfather before and told him that Xiaohua was a very clean bird. Grandfather agreed to let her bring Xiaohua over.
In fact, Grandpa Mu wanted Mu Xiwan to bring Xiaohua over with some selfish intentions. Many grandpas in this big courtyard kept a few small birds and enjoyed themselves.
Grandpa Mu had also wanted to keep a few, but Grandma Mu firmly opposed it. Her reason was that even if those birds were not kept in the room, their chirping would disturb people’s sleep.
Now that their granddaughter who had just returned brought a bird home, Grandpa Mu, knowing his wife well, believed that she would not refuse their granddaughter.
With Grandpa’s approval, Mu Xiwan planned to go back to the rental house happily to bring Xiaohua over and also bring back some important documents and things from the rental house.
Mu Xiwan declined Grandpa’s offer to send a driver to take her, thinking of taking the bus back to the rental house. Before she could find the bus stop, she received a call from Teacher Zhang.
“Xiwan, Tiantian is not doing well at the moment. Can you come over?” Teacher Zhang’s voice was full of anxiety and worry.
Upon hearing Teacher Zhang’s words, Mu Xiwan’s heart tightened, and she no longer thought about taking the bus. She quickly hailed a taxi and headed to the hospital where Tiantian was.
The taxi rushed all the way and soon arrived at the inpatient building of the hospital. As soon as Mu Xiwan entered the entrance of the inpatient building, she heard a familiar voice:
“Sister Xiwan, is that you?”
Mu Xiwan looked over and saw Su Miaowen and Fang Qinghui standing not far away.
Upon hearing Su Miaowen’s words, Fang Qinghui also looked up and saw Mu Xiwan.
Fang Qinghui’s face instantly turned dark, feeling unlucky. She deliberately spoke in a voice that Mu Xiwan could hear, quietly saying to Su Miaowen:
“Miaowen, I’ve told you she’s not your sister, and we have no relationship now. If you keep calling her like this, aren’t you afraid she’ll stick to us!”
Mu Xiwan looked at Fang Qinghui amusingly and said lightly:
“Look at what Miss Fang said, as if your Su family is made of gold, everyone wants to get close to you!
And, regardless of whether you are gold or not, whenever I see someone from your Su family, I feel disgusted.”
Mu Xiwan continued, then looked at Su Miaowen:
“Also, Miss Su, how many times have I told you not to call me sister in the future. We are strangers, you don’t need to put on this fake act!”
“You…!” Su Miaowen almost couldn’t hold back her anger upon hearing Mu Xiwan’s words. She was about to burst out in anger. But then she remembered her identity as a rich young lady and that Fang Qinghui was beside her.
So Su Miaowen suppressed her anger and looked at Mu Xiwan with a pretended look of grievance, saying:
“Sister… Xiwan, I don’t treat you as a stranger. Because my return caused you to leave the Su family, I feel very guilty, so…”
Su Miaowen said somewhat aggrieved, but before she could finish her sentence, she heard Fang Qinghui, who was beside her, somewhat angrily say to Mu Xiwan:
“Su Xiwan, you are so bad not to distinguish right from wrong. We sincerely wanted to care for you, but you treat her like this!”
Mu Xiwan looked at the mother and daughter’s hypocritical appearance and couldn’t help but sneer.
“Oh? Miss Su, if you really want to care for me, should I go back to the Su family now?”
Upon hearing Mu Xiwan’s words, Su Miaowen’s face, which had just pretended to be aggrieved, instantly showed a hint of anger.
But she quickly put on a helpless look and said, “Sister, it’s not that I don’t want you to come back. It’s just that what you said that day made Mom and Dad angry? How about you apologize to them, and then I’ll help you plead with them to let you come back?”
Fang Qinghui was about to say something, but Su Miaowen tugged at her sleeve. Fang Qinghui instantly understood that this was a public place, and shouting at that dead girl like that would be inappropriate for her status and dignity.
Realizing this, Fang Qinghui had to hold back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Mu Xiwan looked amused at all this. She was waiting for Fang Qinghui to continue her outburst, but since Fang Qinghui chose to remain silent, it was her turn to step in.
So Mu Xiwan looked at Su Miaowen with a smile that wasn’t a smile and said:
“You said I made Mr. Su and Mrs. Su angry. Are you talking about what I said about them paying attention to the Feng Shui of the Su family?
But Miss Su, may I ask, did I say something wrong? How is the Feng Shui of the Su family recently? Is it as smooth sailing as when I was at the Su family before?”
“You! What… what does Feng Shui have to do with this, Su Xiwan? It’s already this era, and you still believe in Feng Shui!” Su Miaowen retorted anxiously upon hearing Mu Xiwan’s words.
These days, she had been keeping a low profile at the Su family, trying to minimize her presence. She was afraid that the Su family would blame her for all the recent misfortunes.
Mu Xiwan looked at Su Miaowen, who was slightly embarrassed and angry, and said with a smile:
“Whether you believe it or not is your business. Also, don’t call me Su Xiwan anymore. I’m no longer a member of the Su family, and naturally, I don’t have the Su surname!”
Mu Xiwan said, glancing at Fang Qinghui, her expression cold as she continued:
“Also, we have no relationship whatsoever from now on. Please don’t try to stick to me every time you see me. From now on, we’ll treat each other as strangers.”
Mu Xiwan said and walked towards Tiantian’s ward, ignoring Fang Qinghui’s angry screams behind her.
Mu Xiwan had walked a long distance, but Fang Qinghui was still angrily talking to Su Miaowen:
“Look, our Su family raised a white-eyed wolf. I raised her for more than ten years, but she treats me like this!”
Su Miaowen, seemingly comforting Fang Qinghui, said: “Mom, don’t be angry. Maybe she wants to come back but can’t bring herself to do so.”
“She can dream on. I’ve been wanting to kick her out of the Su family for a long time. Now that she’s left the Su family, I won’t let her come back. She’s out there on her own. I want to see how long she can be stubborn!”
Su Miaowen couldn’t help but reveal a smug look when she heard Fang Qinghui’s words. It was just that Su Xiwan had enjoyed the life that should have been hers for over ten years, and every time she thought about it, she was filled with resentment.
As Fang Qinghui walked back with Su Miaowen, she gradually calmed down.
Thinking about what Su Xiwan had said, she also thought about how unlucky her family had been recently. And it wasn’t just a little bit unlucky.
Today, she came to the hospital with Su Miaowen because her second son, Su Heming, had eaten poisonous mushrooms a while ago and had just been discharged from the hospital. Now, just two days later, he broke his leg while playing basketball at school.
She herself had also been going through a lot of bad luck recently, with all sorts of misfortunes happening one after another. Before, anyone who mentioned Feng Shui to her, she would scoff and firmly say that she didn’t believe in things like Feng Shui.
But after experiencing so many bad things, she began to waver. She thought to herself, if it really didn’t work, she would find another, more reliable Feng Shui master to take a look. A while ago, Su Maoyou had found a Feng Shui master to come over. The Feng Shui master took a look at the Su family’s residence but didn’t say anything.
