My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies-Chapter 103 - 86 She Loved Him for Seventeen Years_2

Chapter 103: Chapter 86 She Loved Him for Seventeen Years_2

“Mom, you just need to take care of yourself now, you can go to beauty treatments, go shopping, play cards, do whatever makes you happy, just don’t interfere with my personal feelings. I’ve made myself very clear, even at the engagement ceremony, I won’t change my mind. I don’t want things to get uglier, so let’s just end this here.”

“End it? Son, have you thought about Yalan, a girl whose dignity you’re throwing aside? You…”

Shen Hanxiu immediately interjected, calmly saying, “Before I turned fifteen, you never cared for me. You wanted wealth, and now you have it. You wanted glory and honor, and I’ve given that to you, too. If you still think of me as your son, then please stop these meaningless actions.”

Deng Tonglian was stunned, not expecting him to still harbor resentment against her, “Son… Mom had her difficulties back then…”

“You know that people have their own hardships, so don’t force others to follow the script you’ve laid out for them.”

Since childhood, he’d never felt his mother’s love. After being taken in by the Shen Family, he only saw himself as a tool helping his mother to obtain Old Master Shen’s inheritance. Constantly studying, over and over, she never showed him any warmth or concern. At most, she would ask: What position has Daddy given you in the company?

You must work hard! If Daddy is pleased with you, the inheritance might just be yours one day!

Son, Mom has struggled her whole life, you must win honor for her!

…

She never once asked him: Son, are you enduring hardship? If it’s too hard, just quit…

Deng Tonglian was left speechless by Shen Hanxiu’s retort, seeing her son who had always been compliant suddenly speak to her in such a tone made her reflect more than become angry…

She had only ever thought about herself, never considering his feelings.

“Son…”

“Please rest well, I’ll come back to visit you later,” said Shen Hanxiu as he turned to leave, gently placing his hand on Su Bao’s back, and walked away.

Su Yalan hurriedly followed him to the elevator, “Ah Shu, you…”

“Su Yalan, even without Su Nian, I would never marry you. Don’t make things difficult, you’ll only end up hurting yourself in the end!”

Su Yalan stood there, stunned, watching Shen Hanxiu leave with Su Nian’s two children.

How could she not have heard the threat in his words? Even without Su Nian, he wouldn’t marry her.

Such hurtful words, yet he said them so easily.

It had been 17 years since she first saw him.

He was only 16 then, freshly returned to the Shen Family.

Though he was an illegitimate child, his unworthy status never made him feel inferior; the dominance in his demeanor made her fall for him at first sight.

Back then she was the pampered daughter of the Su Family, feeling her status far superior to his. She believed that as long as she liked him, he would inevitably belong to her.

But when she dressed up, wearing makeup and her prettiest dress for the first time, he didn’t even glance her way.

Moving to the same school as him, she realized how popular he was, but aside from his studies, he hardly interacted with anyone.

Gradually she learned of his excellence and her affection for him only grew stronger. She was determined to have him.

After Su Nian was brought to the Su Family, seeing her growing up to be more exquisite and beautiful, she was jealous, so in high school, she deliberately asked Old Master Su not to arrange for Su Nian to be at the same school.

At the time, the high school and university were connected; Shen Hanxiu often came to give lectures, and she was afraid of losing to Su Nian.

After graduating from high school, her parents brought up the marriage with Shen Hanxiu’s mother, and she was overjoyed, thinking her long-held unrequited love was about to bloom.

But she never expected him to encounter Su Nian and so quickly get married to her…

Her 17 years of waiting resulted in him definitively not marrying her…

How could she accept this!

“Mom… What do we do now?”

Deng Tonglian felt troubled too, and after thinking for a moment she said, “This matter… I can’t decide for him.”

Then Su Guotian spoke up, “Tomorrow, I’ll look for Su Nian.”

Su Yalan said with a grievance, “But Daddy, Ah Shu just said that even without Su Nian… he wouldn’t marry me…”

Liu Yuyuan then said, “How will we know without trying?” Shen Hanxiu, this fertile ground, must not be given up so easily!

The next day, back at work, Wei Lan greeted her with sign language, and Su Nian smiled back in response.

“Ah, Sister Niannian, sign language is quite tiring. My hands are sore from practicing all day, but it’s pretty fun.”

“Come learn together at my home tonight.”

“I would love to, and it saves me a meal!” said Wei Lan excitedly, and then she saw Yang Zichen walk straight in.

As Wei Lan turned her head, she wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but it felt like Yang Zichen had just looked her way before shifting his gaze.

It had to be her own narcissism.

Many people were let go last week, and Yang Zichen was here this time to arrange new positions.

The new division chief is the former deputy head of Finance, a woman in her forties, reportedly a decent person.

Su Nian was promoted to Chief Accountant; although she hadn’t been at the company long, her skills were greatly admired.

Known to have transferred from a branch, with four years in the accounting field and having served as a department head, those who were unwilling to accept her eventually did so wholeheartedly.

Wei Lan was a newcomer, but lucky to become Su Nian’s assistant, ecstatically sharing an office with her.

After the departures of some nefarious individuals, the Finance Department’s work seemed to lighten, the atmosphere improved, and the manager was a congenial person, not showing favoritism like the previous manager.

Just before lunch break, Su Nian received a call from Su Guotian, who hadn’t contacted her since the last incident at the birthday celebration.

Thinking of how Su Yalan had come to see her the day before, she guessed it was likely about Su Yalan’s situation.

During lunchtime, they arranged to meet at a restaurant near the company.
