Chapter 412: Trying to stir up trouble again?
Xie Qingyi said somewhat awkwardly, "What are you saying? Our two families are well-matched, and you and Su Mengyu are a perfect couple. It's not like I'm morally blackmailing you."
Zhan Yanxun said coldly, "The Su family only came to express their gratitude, yet you expect them to give you their daughter in return. Keep your calculations in check, and don't try to get too big for your britches."
At this point, Su Mengyu's parents tried to explain.
"Actually, we also think..."
Before Su's parents could finish speaking, Zhan Yanxun said to them, "Saving a woman in danger is just a man's most basic sense of justice. You don't need to apologize anymore. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
After Zhan Yanxun finished speaking, he got up and left. Su Mengyu looked at him, mustered up her courage, and quickly chased after him.
"Zhan Yanxun, wait a moment."
Zhan Yanxun turned to look at Su Mengyu, and said condescendingly, "What do you want?"
Su Mengyu was clearly flustered: "I want to thank you for saving me. I want to repay you. I can do anything."
Zhan Yanxun approached Su Mengyu, and the powerful male hormones made Su Mengyu unconsciously retreat.
Zhan Yanxun looked at the flustered Su Mengyu, a cold sneer playing on his lips, and said, "Repayment doesn't have to involve offering yourself. Don't you like Gu Xunjing? Have you given up?"
Su Mengyu was slightly embarrassed; this man was simply...heartbreaking!
Su Mengyu composed herself and said, "That's right, nothing is difficult if you're willing to give up. You're right, I've already given up on Xun Jing. Xun Jing loves Jiang Qianhui very much, and Jiang Qianhui is a very good person. I think she deserves Xun Jing, and I don't want to be a stumbling block to their relationship. Someone as outstanding as me will also find someone worthy of loving me."
Su Mengyu's eyes were bright. Letting go was the best outcome for both Xun Jing and herself.
Besides, she's not bad herself, and she believes that someone will love her just as much as Xunjing loves Jiang Qianhui.
"You're quite carefree, but I advise you not to give up on your Xunjing brother, because Jiang Qianhui will eventually be mine."
As Zhan Yanxun was about to leave after speaking, Su Mengyu stopped him and said, "You...the person you love the most in your heart is still Jiang Qianhui?"
“My Lady Zhan, there will never be anyone else in this life but her.”
If it were before, Su Mengyu would definitely have criticized Zhan Yanxun for saying these words, but this man had saved her twice after all, so she still had a soft spot for him in her eyes.
"But what about you and Qiao Weiwei?"
Su Mengyu really couldn't understand what kind of emotional entanglement existed between the three of them.
"My affairs with Qiao Weiwei are none of your business. I'm the kind of person who doesn't care about the process, only the result. In the end, Jiang Qianhui will still be mine."
Su Mengyu never expected that Zhan Yanxun's love interest was actually Jiang Qianhui. But... he and Qiao Weiwei.
"I really admire your confident demeanor. It's a pity that Xunjing and Jiang Qianhui are getting married and will adopt a child. The three of them will live a good life in the future, and to be honest, I don't want you to bother them. You saved me, and I really can't bear to see you suffer, but it's also the truth."
Zhan Yanxun frowned, his brow furrowed in tension. Were they going to adopt a child?
Su Mengyu continued, "Jiang Qianhui is now unable to have children, and Brother Xunjing is giving up his right to be a father so he can be with Jiang Qianhui. Jiang Qianhui gets along very well with a child in the orphanage, and she likes that child very much, so Brother Gu Xunjing advocated for adopting him."
Gu Xunjing's mother also agreed. Their love and tolerance for Jiang Qianhui are something you and Xie Qingyi simply can't match. So I still hope you can let go.”
Zhan Yanxun suddenly turned around, his eyes dark as he looked at Su Mengyu and said, "Give up? Impossible! Jiang Qianhui can only be mine."
After Zhan Yanxun finished speaking, he pushed Su Mengyu, who was blocking his way, and Su Mengyu fell to the ground. Zhan Yanxun walked away without looking back.
Just then, Xie Qingyi and Su's parents came out. Seeing Su Mengyu fall to the ground, Xie Qingyi quickly went to help Su Mengyu up.
"Miss Su, what happened to you? How did you fall?"
"It's okay, I was wearing a new pair of shoes today, they didn't fit, and I accidentally fell."
"If they don't fit, then don't take them. There's a French brand of shoes that's the best. I've asked their manager to send over the latest models for you to take a look."
"No need."
"Yes, yes, how could we let you leave the Zhan family wearing uncomfortable shoes?"
Su Mengyu was unsettled, watching Zhan Yanxun's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
……
orphanage.
Jiang Qianhui and Gu Xunjing had just visited little Jiang Bao. After they left, Yang Huirong secretly went into the orphanage.
Yang Huirong went to the orphanage alone. She wanted to see the child her daughter wanted to adopt again to confirm whether it was the right child.
"Let me hold that child."
As soon as Yang Huirong went in, she asked the caregiver to bring Xiao Jiangbao to her.
The caregiver found it strange that Mr. Gu and Miss Jiang had just left, so why was Miss Jiang's mother here again?
Little Jiangbao panicked when he saw Yang Huirong arrive alone. [How could it be the Big Bad Wolf? Mommy, come back quickly and save Little Jiangbao! Waaaaah!]
The caregiver handed Xiao Jiangbao to Yang Huirong, and Xiao Jiangbao struggled desperately.
The caregiver said, "You were fine just now, why are you crying like this now?"
Yang Huirong immediately picked her up and said, "I'll soothe her. I'm the most experienced when it comes to soothing children."
Yang Huirong picked up little Jiangbao, who waved his little fists.
Someone please help me remove her diaper; she needs a chemical attack.
Yang Huirong carefully examined Xiao Jiangbao and noticed the small red mole on his forehead.
Her face was pale; it really was this child.
Didn't she already have someone get rid of the child?
Shouldn't this child have been sold to a family that can't have children by now? How did this happen? How did he end up in an orphanage?
Regardless of how this child came to be, she should never appear in front of her daughter or Gu Xunjing again.
Yang Huirong frowned and said with disdain, "Why is this child crying so loudly? Is there something wrong with him? We don't adopt children with problems."
The caregiver said, "This child is usually very well-behaved and obedient, and is also very healthy."
Yang Huirong said fiercely, "You've been saying nice things about this child all along. Could it be that you encouraged my daughter and son-in-law to adopt him?"
The caregiver said awkwardly, "How is this encouraging? This child is very healthy and cute, and many people want to adopt her."
"Really? My daughter managed to snag such a sought-after item. Isn't that a blessing for her?"
Yang Huirong spoke sarcastically, and the caregiver said with difficulty, "Actually, there was another couple who wanted to adopt before, and they were already going through the adoption procedures. But Young Master Gu spent 500 million to make the couple give up the adoption."
