The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1431 - 1444: Seeking Immortality (8)

It’s just that the Cheap Mother’s character is too insignificant, really timid and cowardly.

Otherwise, just relying on those alluring eyes, being a Sea King wouldn’t be difficult at all?

Looking at the original body’s extremely delicate appearance, it’s clear that Cheap Mother’s looks are also top-notch.

The appearance of Lady Su, Ye Zhiru, is just above average, but her temperament is exceptional.

After talking with Tang Xianxian, the old lady’s originally kind face instantly fell, and she loudly reprimanded Su Li, "You, kneel down for me."

How could a vicious woman obediently listen? It doesn’t fit her character.

Su Li just casually looked at the old lady, waiting until her expression became unnatural.

Tang Xianxian became anxious and started crying again, "Mother, please don’t... Ah Lee’s health is not good."

Su Li then observed the old lady’s temples bulge and then relax.

Keeping it in like this is not good for one’s health.

The old lady was silent for a moment, sighed deeply, and went along with the out the stair Tang Xianxian offered, saying, "I know you’re proud, that’s why I’m scolding you only when there are just the three of us."

"Su Li, don’t say you don’t like Yang Heyuan, I don’t like her either, but she is, after all, the eldest daughter recognized by your father. I can cover for your small troubles, but if your father really gets angry and ignores everything, I’m old and truly won’t be able to stop him."

"Also, Yansheng is your brother, your future support. If only you would listen to me, get along with him well, you won’t let Yang Heyuan take the lead. If he is willing to protect Yang Heyuan, let him do it, don’t oppose him... How could you even push him into the water?"

The more the old lady spoke, the angrier she became. That woman she really disliked, but the son she bore, her grandson, she quite liked.

The Su Family has been having only one male descendant for generations, and under normal circumstances, Su Yansheng will also be their Su Family’s only grandson. How could the old lady not care for him?

Only, she wouldn’t say such things in front of her granddaughter.

Su Li, however, smiled and said righteously, "I’m bad, right? Do bad people need logic? Can’t stand it, just push."

"You..." The old lady was so angry she nearly couldn’t breathe.

It was only at this point that the old lady seriously began to scrutinize Su Li.

The granddaughter was still the same granddaughter, looking unwell and sickly, but somehow, something seemed different.

Because of weak mother and unloving father, from birth, she suffered from frail health, granddaughter’s temper was eccentric and volatile, yet she was rare to be obedient and docile to her grandmother.

But seeing her indifferent demeanor just now, it couldn’t be said she was disrespectful, just the casual calm gaze always made people uneasy, faintly fearful.

Su Li slowly wandered in the room, casually inspecting the decorations, her fingers tapping on the expensive items without care.

"Grandmother, you should move to the other courtyard, my mother and I are going to move out, but not to Su Residence’s other courtyard, rather to the Tang family’s house."

"No." The old lady opposed strongly.

Seeing two puzzled pairs of eyes looking over, the old lady eased her intense emotions, forcing a smile, "I don’t feel at ease for you two living alone, orphans and widows... Besides, I promised Sister Tang that as long as I live, I would protect Xianxian for a lifetime. You both will follow me to the other courtyard, it’s settled."

The old lady swiftly made the decision, seemingly fearing Su Li might say something more, promptly dismissed the mother and daughter, rarely not inviting them to stay for dinner.

Because of the old lady’s insistence, although Tang Xianxian separated from Su XiuYu, she still lived in Su Residence, residing in the most remote courtyard, far from Su Li’s Cai Zhi Courtyard.

The two walked silently until they reached the fork and had to bid farewell.

After the separation, unless absolutely necessary, Tang Xianxian was unwilling to leave her small courtyard, and had few chances to meet her daughter.

It was only occasionally that Ah Lee would come to see her. At the moment of parting, Tang Xianxian was still reluctant to leave, her affectionate gaze deeply etching the features of her daughter’s face.

Thinking that mother and daughter were going to live with the old lady in the other courtyard, she felt a great anticipation. This way, could she not see her daughter all the time?

In happiness, she clutched her handkerchief and was about to cry again.

Su Li: "Hold it in, don’t cry."

"If you dare shed tears, I’ll call Su XiuYu over."

Su XiuYu’s name was like a curse, Tang Xianxian was frightened, her face pale, tears on the verge of falling but pitifully not.

Su Li had previously noticed that Tang Xianxian was more fearful of her former husband than she was resentful or disdainful.

Except for giving birth to a daughter, she was already quite old, yet still as naive as a young girl, having not understood what love tasted like.

Whether this was fortunate or unfortunate, it was hard to say.

Unfortunate because unchecked innocence without protection only becomes foolishness.

Fortunate because in the eyes of the world she faced unbearable hardships she’d rather die than endure, yet she remained ignorant of the true meaning, naturally spared from getting hurt too deeply.

Perhaps her current worries, beyond living more peacefully than before, would involve concern for her daughter’s health and the father’s lack of affection.

Tang Xianxian, seeing Su Li not acting, felt relieved, but the fear in her eyes was not easily dispelled.

Seeing Su Li about to leave, Tang Xianxian, like a timid little squirrel who finally summoned courage, quickly grabbed her daughter’s wide sleeve and racked her brains to come up with a topic, saying, "Ah Lee, why did you tell mom earlier that you didn’t want to move to the other courtyard?"

The outskirts are nice, won’t have to see Su XiuYu’s terrifying face, nor face the strange attitudes of those servants, and can see her daughter every day, so many things.

She couldn’t understand why her daughter wasn’t willing. Anyway, the old lady had been very kind to both of them, just like a real mom.

"Do you really think the old lady has been good to us?"

Hearing her daughter’s indifferent question, Tang Xianxian realized she had inadvertently spoken her mind.

Her daughter, unlike before when she would flare up after a few words, was now calmly indifferent, allowing Tang Xianxian to gain courage and happily share her thoughts with her daughter.

"The old lady has always been kind to us, Brother Xiu Yu... he, he dislikes me, if not for the old lady, he wouldn’t have married me, wouldn’t have given me you."

"Brother Xiu Yu also doesn’t want you, if not for the old lady, you might not have been born."

"How wonderful, I’m finally not alone."

Tang Xianxian, gazing tenderly at Su Li, held the same affectionate gaze like looking at a beloved treasure, eyes filled with joy and fondness.

Su Li: "....." Initially wanting to scold Cheap Mother for being foolish, now... forget it.
