The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 130 - 134: This Kind of Creature, the Phoenix Man (16)

Chapter 130: Chapter 134: This Kind of Creature, the Phoenix Man (16)

Su Qing was trembling uncontrollably all over, her arms encircling the person were also continuously protesting with a quiver.

Before she even entered the villa, Su Qing, hesitating outside, was spotted by the aunt who was taking out the trash.

The aunt exclaimed in surprise, "Qingqing Miss, is it really you?"

In that moment, Su Qing desperately wanted to bury herself somewhere, ashamed to face this aunt who had doted on her almost as much as her own mother.

She felt ashamed of her past actions.

Yet, the aunt, as if she had never been hurt by Su Qing, hurriedly jogged forward and grabbed her sleeve, looking at the baby in her arms with joy and asking, "Is this little miss your child? How adorable..."

When the topic of her own child came up, Su Qing showed a long-lost smile, "Yes, just a bit thin, my, my milk isn’t plentiful..."

"No worries, I’ll make some more lactation dishes for you. It surely won’t be many days before you successfully increase your milk supply."

Su Qing was initially stunned, then overwhelmed with joy, her tears uncontrollably falling.

She couldn’t believe it and her hands holding the baby shook, "Is it, is it mother’s idea?"

The aunt had been with the Su family for many years and knew the rules very well. Without a hint from the masters, she would never say such things.

The aunt laughed wordlessly, reaching out to take the baby from Su Qing’s arms, "Let me hold her. You are frail and should avoid holding the baby too much, lest you end up with postpartum ailments, sore arms."

With an excited heart, Su Qing followed the aunt inside, her steps varying between heavy and light.

Upon entering, she found her grandfather, who usually stayed in the nursing home, was also at home, holding something in his arms, smiling triumphantly.

Su Fugui, upon seeing Su Qing enter, didn’t show the closeness he had before but still smiled casually, "Qingqing is back, go rest. Your room has been cleaned, and the nanny has been hired, so you don’t need to worry about the child."

Su Qing also noticed that her grandfather no longer treated her as before. Glancing at the younger brother in his arms who was even smaller than her daughter, she opened and closed her mouth a few times but ended up not saying anything, merely nodding bitterly without going forward to see her brother, who attracted all attention the moment he made a sound.

Su Fugui didn’t ask anything, and Su Qing didn’t mention the Zheng family or her previous life either, acting as if nothing had happened.

If there hadn’t been an additional baby crying for food, perhaps they could really pretend that nothing had happened.

Su Fugui happily played with the baby, then after a thought, spared some attention for Su Qing, "Your mom is resting upstairs, go see her."

At this moment, Su Qing had none of her usual vigor and had grown somewhat estranged from her family. She wanted to change this, but it seemed like she had the will but not the means, and looking at her grandfather, he didn’t seem to want to change either.

She couldn’t say she was completely devoid of blame, but with her little brother in front of her, she no longer had the courage that had driven her forward.

The previous fearlessness was just the certainty that she was the only child of the Su family. Now that her confidence was gone, Su Qing, even if she felt some blame, could only keep it hidden deep within her heart, daring not show it in the least.

Now, she was truly scared...

Without the Su family and the title of Miss Su, she was nothing.

Her pride and stubbornness were not enough for a good life. Moreover, now that she was not alone, having a daughter to support.

The foolishness of youth had truly vanished along with her motherhood. As a mother, she needed to toughen up.

Su Qing lingered at her mother’s door for a long time, head lowered, not daring to enter.

After becoming a mother, she finally understood the anxious feelings her own mother had for her, but it was she who had hurt her.

Su Li was leisurely reclining and reading a book, but soon put it down. She was still in confinement and should not strain her eyes too much.

Hearing a small commotion outside, Su Li guessed it must be Su Qing.

Su Qing’s days at the Zheng Family and her life after leaving, Su Li had always paid attention, but as much as she knew, she had no intention of intervening.

Just as she had told Su Qing before, this was her own choice; she must walk it even on her knees.

This time, her return home was actually the old master’s idea.

After all, no matter how wrong Su Qing was, she was still the granddaughter the old master had cherished for over twenty years.

Although his attitude towards her had cooled, he still didn’t want to see her suffer like this.

Moreover, the old master now had a grandson, and the past sorrows seemed trivial; after all, she was still his granddaughter’s blood. The Su Family was not short on money, they could afford to support her, but she should not expect anything else.

"Come in..."

The voice that came from the room startled Su Qing, snapping her out of her trance, and she nervously tiptoed inside.

Seeing her mother’s face, Su Qing couldn’t hold back her tears any longer; they surged forth.

The expected comfort did not come; her mother merely looked indifferently as she cried.

Su Qing, in a fluster, wiped her tears and weakly called out, "Mom..."

She thought that since her mother was now willing to accept her, perhaps she had forgiven her?

Su Qing looked hopeful, but Su Li did not share the deep mother-daughter bond she imagined, and spoke calmly, completely shattering Su Qing’s hopes.

"You must know by now that the family has welcomed a new member."

"Have you seen him yet? Your grandfather named him Su Jingming, aspiring for a life as placid and vast as the spring and bright skies."

"You can stay at home for now. Your grandfather bought you a new apartment in the Western District, over 170 square meters. Once it’s renovated, you can move there with your child and the nanny. He also mentioned to me, you are still a daughter of this family. Although everything will belong to your brother in the future, it wouldn’t be right to give you nothing. At the end of the year, the company will distribute some dividends, which will be directly transferred to your account, enough for your living and raising your child."

But that would be just enough, and while it won’t be worse than most people’s lives, it won’t be much better.

After all, raising a child is costly, and without any other income, an annual hundred thousand or so in dividends will suffice for an ordinary life.

Su Qing looked at Su Li with a heavy heart, "Mom, am I still your daughter? Or am I dispensable now that you have a little brother..."

Su Li: "What’s the point of saying this now?"

"I gave you a choice back then; you were the one who chose to leave everything behind. So please, don’t look at me with that kind of look."

Seeing Su Qing’s accusing demeanor, Su Li’s attitude chilled further, "If it wasn’t for your grandfather’s urging, I wouldn’t have wanted to give you even this much."

"Do you remember what I told you back then?"

"The path you choose, you must walk, even on your knees."

"If there’s nothing else, leave now; I want to rest." freёweɓnovel.com
