120: Chapter 120 Which Pig Rooted Up 120: Chapter 120 Which Pig Rooted Up Su He sighed.
Turning around, she looked at her.
“I do really want to say hello, but I’m afraid of polluting my spit.”
Su He’s face showed helplessness.
An Xueyin: “You…”
“Stop ‘you’-ing and ‘I’-ing, can’t even speak clearly!”
Su He’s voice was cold as she spoke: “You’d best not bother me either, I don’t talk to single-celled organisms!”
After saying that, she turned around, leading the child inside.
As for An Xueyin’s expression, she had no interest in seeing it.
An Xueyin turned to look at Lin Yue: “Mom, you see Su He, she…”
But Lin Yue’s attention was on the child next to Su He.
That child’s features, why did they seem somewhat similar to Su He’s?
Could it be, was this the child whom Xueyin saw Su He holding in the hospital last time?
“Mom, what are you looking at?” An Xueyin frowned and called out to Lin Yue again.
Lou Ruozhi, seeing that Lin Yue kept staring at the child Su He was leading, asked, “Mrs.
Lin, do you recognize that child?”
Lin Yue came back to her senses, thought for a moment, and said: “Oh, I just thought that child looked a bit like Su He, could it be Su He and Fifth Young Master Jiang’s child?”
“I heard that Su He and Fifth Young Master Jiang have been married for four years, they should have had a child by now, right?” Lin Yue cautiously added another sentence.
After all, Lou Ruozhi is Jiang Yan’s birth mother.
Although she’s no longer the daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family, she should still be aware of this matter, right?
But upon this remark, Lou Ruozhi’s face turned gloomy.
Tang Sirou, who had not said a word, looked even worse.
She had noticed that child earlier than Lin Yue and indeed saw a resemblance to Su He.
Could it be that back then, Su He did not terminate the pregnancy?
She remembered the warnings Jiang Yan once gave her.
At that time, she thought Jiang Yan still felt something for her and did not punish her because of this matter.
It turned out not to be the case.
Instead, because that year, Su He did not terminate the pregnancy but gave birth to the child.
At this thought, she felt a chill.
Since ancient times, a mother’s status has been elevated by her son, especially in these wealthy and noble families.
At least Su He has spread the branches for the Jiang Family, giving birth to their first granddaughter.
In her recollection, Old Madam Jiang was not the type to favor boys over girls.
If this was the case, Su He’s position in the Jiang Family would be even more secure.
No wonder Jiang Yan has been so good to Su He lately; it turns out she had secretly given birth to a child.
And last time, when Xueyin sent him the photo of Su He holding a child with a strange man, he was indifferent.
It turns out he knew all along.
While she was lost in thought, a fierce gaze fell on her.
She looked up and met the harsh and accusing look in Lou Ruozhi’s eyes.
Not knowing what to say, she bowed her head.
Lin Yue’s shrewd eyes seemed to sense something but were uncertain.
Instead of poking through, she smiled and said, “Mrs.
Lou, perhaps I was mistaken.
In this world, there are many people who look alike, but not all who look alike are related by blood.
It might be a child of a friend.”
An Xueyin muttered from the side: “Maybe it’s Su He being shameless, having a child with some other man outside.”
Lin Yue glared at her: “Xueyin, don’t spout nonsense!”
An Xueyin was displeased: “I’m not spouting nonsense, I heard that Su He and Fifth Young Master Jiang have lived separately for the four years they’ve been married, and they only had interactions after returning to the country, they didn’t before, so how could they have a child?”
Seeing Mrs.
Lou’s unpleasant expression, Lin Yue could only tug on An Xueyin’s hand and scolded in a low voice, “Shut up!”
She turned her head towards Mrs.
Lou, smile on her face: “Mrs.
Lou, let’s go in, let’s eat first.”
Today she had arranged to meet Mrs.
Lou, as there were important matters to discuss.
She heard that Mrs.
Lou knew people from the Su Family of Beijing, that’s why she had Tang Sirou help her with the arrangement.
An Group had a project recently and was looking for partners, and the Su Family of Beijing was the most suitable, but their threshold was too high, they couldn’t reach it.
So they hoped she could help them make some connections.
Thus, today’s scene came to be.
If it were an ordinary day, she would not have been able to meet Mrs.
Lou.
The circles of the two were also different.
Even within the circle of wealthy ladies, there are hierarchies.
The party entered the restaurant and, under the guidance of the staff, arrived at the reserved VIP seating.
This was an upscale Chinese restaurant, decorated with a strong Chinese flavor.
Traditional calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls, and each table was separated by intricately carved openwork screens, extending the classical atmosphere to the extreme.
Coincidentally, Su He and Jing Xuan were seated at the table just behind them.
As An Xueyin sat down, she saw Su He’s back across the table.
A hint of disgust and viciousness flashed in her eyes.
Really like a lingering ghost, it was okay to run into her at the hospital, but to encounter her again while out for a meal!
Lin Yue did not notice.
But following her gaze, she saw someone talking to the staff, presumably ordering food.
“Mom, didn’t you say that it was hard to book a spot at this restaurant?” An Xueyin whispered to Lin Yue: “How come Su He managed to book it?
And it’s a VIP spot, too?”
Even though she spoke softly, Tang Sirou and Mrs.
Lou, seated across from her, heard it too.
Upon hearing this, they both turned slightly, looked behind them, and were momentarily startled.
But the two of them said nothing about it.
An Xueyin simply turned to a nearby waiter and said, “You, go tell the people at the opposite table to change their seats.
Looking at them, I can’t eat.
It’s disgusting!”
The waiter looked in the direction she was pointing and was slightly taken aback, reacting with a puzzled “Huh?”
“Huh what?
I told you to make them move to another table, or kick them out.”
An Xueyin was very unhappy because she had been countered several times by Su He.
Su He simply doesn’t deserve to come to such places!
The waiter looked at the somewhat angry An Xueyin and said with trepidation, “Sorry, madam, the customers at that table haven’t caused any trouble.
We don’t have the right to kick them out.”
“They’re at the table next to me, and it bothers me a lot, severely affecting my appetite,” An Xueyin said righteously.
“I’ve spent money here, can’t I make some requests?”
The waiter was speechless: “…”
Such demands were really preposterous!
It was the first time she had seen such an unreasonable and barbaric customer, who looked decently dressed and yet had no manners at all?
Those people came here to have a meal peacefully.
If you have no appetite, what does that have to do with them?
The waiter, a post-2000s’ kid, wasn’t afraid of stirring up trouble; if she lost this job, she could simply find another one.
“I’m sorry, madam, but we cannot fulfill your request.
Not just our restaurant, but any other one would be the same.
Everyone is here as a paying customer, just like you,” the waiter stated.
An Xueyin, hearing what the waiter said, exploded like a lit firework.
Steam seemed to rise from her head in anger, she could deal with Su He’s snappy retorts, but now even a minor waiter was daring to talk back to her.
“Do you know who I am?
Huh?
How dare you talk to me like this!
It seems you don’t want to keep your job anymore, do you?!” she yelled furiously at the waiter.
Su He and Jing Xuan at the neighboring table heard the commotion and turned to look.
The restaurant manager also came over upon hearing the disturbance.
The waiter shrank a little as she was shouted at.
This was the first time she had been yelled at like this in her life; even her parents and grandparents had never yelled at her like this.
How dared this woman shout at her?
“Aren’t you just a human?
Or are you a ghost?” the waiter rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t throw your weight around just because you have a bit of money.
Be careful of a backlash someday, that wouldn’t be good.”
The manager had just walked over when he heard this, and it nearly gave him a heart attack on the spot.
Jing Xuan laughed upon hearing these words, “Kids these days are really something, aren’t they?
They dare to take a stand when there’s an issue.”
The waiter was evidently quite young.
The manager gave her a glare, but the waiter didn’t care.
She consciously took a step back.
The manager was a male, looking to be about forty.
He addressed the four ladies with a flattering tone, “I’m sorry, ladies, I’m the manager here.
This is one of our part-time staff.
She might be unfamiliar with some things.
If she has offended you in any way, I apologize on her behalf.”
The girl stood on the side watching the manager nodding and bowing, clearly disgusted by it.
Lin Yue did not wish to escalate the situation, especially as the restaurant was quite crowded.
Meanwhile, sitting across from them, Lou Ruozhi’s expression grew uglier.
At this moment, Lou Ruozhi was indeed unhappy.
She had been to so many upscale restaurants and had never seen someone as unreasonable as An Xueyin.
She was, after all, a young lady of the An Family.
How could she not even understand basic etiquette?
Although she didn’t have much fondness for Su He, she wouldn’t make such a spectacle in public either.
Before Lin Yue could stop An Xueyin from speaking further, An Xueyin addressed the manager and imperiously demanded, “You’re the manager, right?
Then I now want you to fire this woman who talked back to the customer!”
The manager uttered a startled “Ah.”
Then hesitated, saying, “This…
”
“What?
You don’t want to?”
The manager was sweating, unable to afford offending either side.
“Enough, don’t say anymore,” Lin Yue interrupted.
Then she looked apologetically at the manager, “I’m sorry, let’s just forget about this matter.”
The manager, hearing this, was relieved and glad to have encountered someone reasonable at last.
But the next second, the part-time girl said, “This auntie, your daughter yelled at me.
Shouldn’t she apologize?
Even kindergarteners know to apologize if they bump into someone.
Could it be that your family’s upbringing can’t even compare to that of a kindergartener?”
Upon hearing this, the manager turned his head to glare at her again.
He glared, but it was a lowly one, as if to plead, “Please, for the love of God, stop talking.”
The girl glared back, “I won’t!”
She wasn’t about to let herself be wronged.
Lin Yue was slightly stunned; she had not expected the girl to react like that.
Was she not afraid of losing her job?
“Manager, do you know why I snapped back at this lady?” the girl asked the manager.
The manager reflexively responded, “Why?”
The girl looked at An Xueyin and jeered, “This lady here thinks she’s more precious than gold.
She said the guests at the table next to us are affecting her appetite and asked me to send them away.”
“Manager, you listen; does that sound like something a sane person would say?”
“The guests at the table next to us haven’t broken any laws, haven’t caused any trouble, and certainly haven’t bothered her in any way.
Doesn’t that mean she’s trying to find a needle in a haystack and pick a quarrel on purpose?”
“What I did was stand on the side of justice, safeguarding our restaurant’s reputation.
How could that possibly be wrong?”
The girl’s mouth spouted words like a little machine gun firing away.
The manager, as if possessed, hummed in agreement, “You’re not wrong either.”
The girl looked triumphantly at An Xueyin.
An Xueyin was so angry she felt a tightness in her chest.
Even a mere waiter dared to talk to her like this!
Lin Yue’s expression wasn’t very pleasant either, but she still held back; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to hold the position of Mrs.
An.
Plus, it seemed the manager was deliberately protecting the waiter, and she could feel it.
Generally, how could a waiter have such confidence?
“Xueyin, apologize!” she demanded sternly, looking toward An Xueyin.
An Xueyin was stunned for a moment, as she didn’t expect Lin Yue to have her apologize to the waiter, and she hadn’t done anything wrong either!
Lin Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and took her hand, pressing it down a bit.
She could only look at the girl through gritted teeth, reluctantly uttering three words: “I’m sorry!”
The girl smirked and shrugged, not taking it any further.
Jing Xuan and Su He, on the other hand, figured out a bit of what was happening.
An Xueyin wanted to have them kicked out; she tried to act tough but ended up being rebuffed by someone else instead.
“Baobao, how could An Xueyin’s mom be so composed and then give birth to a daughter as dumb as a pig?”
Jing Xuan clicked her tongue, shook her head, and added: “I think she’s insulting pigs.”
“At least An Mi and An Rui are not like them.”
Su He responded with a hum.
Indeed, An Mi and An Rui weren’t as mercenary and hypocritical as Lin Yue and her daughter.
“Oh my little ancestor, why don’t you sit at the cashier’s desk then?
Okay?” The manager pleaded, tugging at the girl’s clothes.
The girl shook her head: “I don’t want to; it’s not like I stirred up trouble first, she was the one who provoked me.”
Manager: “…”
That’s what she said, but…
The girl raised her hand, patting the manager’s shoulder: “Alright, Uncle Huang, no one will dare to mess with you, my uncle will have your back if anything happens.”
The manager sighed: “Fine, do whatever you want, just don’t get hurt, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to Mr.
Gu.”
After saying this, the manager left to take care of other things.
While Su He and the others were enjoying their meal, Gu Qianqian suddenly approached their table.
Su He and Jing Xuan looked up at her simultaneously.
Isn’t this the girl who just rebutted An Xueyin?
“Little sister, is there something you want?” Jing Xuan asked.
Gu Qianqian, seeing the two stunning beauties in front of her, grinned, showing eight white teeth, and said with a smile: “Can I make friends with you two beauty sisters?”
Jing Xuan: “…”
Su He: “…”
Gu Qianqian blinked her bright almond-shaped eyes, full of sincerity: “I’m serious, since I was little, I’ve had no other hobby than befriending kind-hearted beauties, I also love watching beauties.”
Su He and Jing Xuan exchanged looks and laughed.
Jing Xuan asked Gu Qianqian with a smile: “Aren’t girls your age usually into pretty boys?”
Gu Qianqian replied: “But both sisters are too pretty, you’re even more beautiful than TV stars, and you can tell at a glance that your faces are all-natural.
It’s been a long time since I’ve met girls as pretty as you two sisters.”
Gu Qianqian’s eyes shone brightly as she spoke.
She genuinely thought Su He and Jing Xuan were very beautiful, fitting right into her aesthetic, straight into the softest part of her heart.
“…”
Before long, socialite Gu Qianqian had already seated herself and started chatting.
Neither Su He nor Jing Xuan minded.
The important thing was that no one was bothering Gu Qianqian.
They weren’t blind; they naturally recognized Gu Qianqian’s identity.
She probably wasn’t really working as a waiter.
The three of them also introduced themselves to each other.
Gu Qianqian was like a chatterbox, talking incessantly.
However, her words were quite interesting and naturally funny.
Her face was round like a little bun, fresh and sweet, with clear eyes, and she was both lively and adorable, exuding the vivacious aura of youth, like a naive young beauty.
In contrast, An Xueyin’s table was rather quiet.
The four of them minded their own business, creating a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
An Xueyin looked at Su He and the others with a mocking expression in her eyes.
As expected, lowly people are all the same.
“By the way, Su He, is this little girl your daughter?
Are you married?”
Gu Qianqian suddenly asked, looking at Sang Yuxuan sitting next to Su He.
Su He chuckled in response: “I am married, but this child isn’t mine.”
“What?”
Gu Qianqian was stunned by Su He’s last sentence.
Then, she said somewhat sadly: “Su He, you’re actually married, which family’s pig has won you over?
I had hoped to match you with my uncle, so you could be my aunt, then I could see you every day.”
“Just when my dream bloomed, it was shattered, sigh…”
Gu Qianqian heaved a heavy sigh.
Su He: “…”
Jing Xuan, playing along, said: “It’s okay, she’s married, but I’m not yet, how about I become your aunt?”
Gu Qianqian, however, responded: “No no no, Jing Xuan, you should be my table aunt instead; I have a cousin who I think matches well with you, my uncle can’t handle you.”
Jing Xuan’s mouth twitched slightly: “…”
Is she a femme fatale?
Can’t handle her?
This girl is mischievously clever, with quite a few little schemes.
Having just met her, she’s already targeting the two of them.
Jing Xuan was a bit curious and asked: “How do you think this child is hers, not mine?”
Gu Qianqian said: “Looking closely, the child’s features actually resemble Su He.”
Having heard this, Jing Xuan suddenly turned to look at Sang Yuxuan, who was earnestly eating.
No kidding, she really does look alike.
She realized suddenly!
Sure enough, the girl looked a bit familiar because her facial features resembled Su He’s.
If she hadn’t known that Su He only had Su Yimo back then, she would’ve definitely thought this was Su He’s forgotten daughter outside.
She looked at Su He and whispered, “Baobao, no kidding, she really does look alike.”
After hearing their conversation, Su He, although speechless, gave Sang Yuxuan another glance.
She had a few children of her own and knew perfectly well.
So, Sang Yuxuan definitely wasn’t her child.
“There are many people in the world who look alike, that’s not strange,” said Su He casually.
Gu Qianqian said, “To be a girl who looks like you, Su He, is truly God’s VVVVIP favorite.
Why don’t I look like you?”
Su He didn’t know how to respond to that: “…”
On the other side.
Lu Zhiyang took screenshots of two spending records and sent them to the small group of five, without saying a word.
Gu Beiyan and others had waited for a long time, but he hadn’t said anything.
They simply directly @ someone to ask.
Gu Beiyan: [@Lzy.
Old Lu, what do you mean by this?
Showing off how rich you are???]
Wan Muqi: [@Lzy.
President Lu, want to file a lawsuit?
Hire me, I’m cheap, no need to spend that much money.]
Xiao Si: [@Lzy.
Zhiyang, someone doesn’t lack love, they lack RMB, give me some to use too.] plus an emoji /pitiful.jpg/
Lu Zhiyang replied with one line: “Get lost!
My money is only for my woman to use!”
Gu Beiyan:
“Yo~ Your woman?
Who is it?
Let me guess…”
“Jing Xuan?
Or Ye Hanqing?”
Wan Muqi: “Tsk, this love triangle.
Remember to call brother when you’re going to sue, I’ll give you a 10% discount on legal fees.”
Xiao Si: “If I go through a sex change, could I become one of your women too?
Could I then spend your money?”
Gu Beiyan: “Go for it, Xiao, I’ll sponsor $100 to take down Old Lu!”
Wan Muqi: “+1, support!
But no sponsorship, just moral support.”
Xiao Si: “@Lzy, Zhiyang, give me a straight answer, if you agree, brother will get someone to arrange it right away, and then I’ll come back to find you.” followed by a shy emoji.
Gu Beiyan posted an emoji of “goose bumps all over.”
Wan Muqi: “Luckily I’ve eaten dinner already!”
Lu Zhiyang: “@Xiao Si, don’t gross me out, stay wherever it’s cool!”
Xiao Si: “Tsk tsk tsk, Zhiyang, why are you so harsh to me?
Having a woman spending your money is not worth boasting about, having a man spend your money is.”
“…”
Lou Ruozhi and others had left first.
Lin Yue, although she hadn’t openly asked Lou Ruozhi for help connecting with the Su Family tonight, Lou Ruozhi isn’t dumb and could definitely understand.
When leaving.
Lou Ruozhi and Tang Sirou took the same car back.
“Sirou, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but you should stay away from that cousin of yours,” Lou Ruozhi suddenly said to Tang Sirou.
Tang Sirou was a bit stunned, but quickly understood and obediently replied, “Alright, I got it, aunt.”
About suddenly becoming her daughter-in-law, Lou Ruozhi had always held a grudge, until these last few days when their relationship had finally eased.
Naturally, Tang Sirou wouldn’t dare to upset her anymore.
Originally, Lou Ruozhi was very supportive of her being with Jiang Yan, and she was quite happy that Tang Sirou could become her daughter-in-law.
But her attitude was completely different when it came to Lou Ziang.
If it weren’t for Lou Ziang’s persistence, Lou Ruozhi wouldn’t have compromised.
Lou Ruozhi reprimanded, “You should also see less of your little aunt.
She’s very shrewd; she’ll think of you whenever she needs help.
But when your Tang Family was in trouble, did you see her helping you?
Isn’t it all Ziang from our Lou Family who’s been busy helping you?”
“Helping your Tang Family is already a great kindness, don’t bring more vampires to our Lou Family!”
Tang Sirou hung her head low and bit her lower lip: “I understand, aunt, I’ll remember.”
Actually, what Lou Ruozhi said wasn’t entirely unreasonable, but it still made her feel uncomfortable.
After a moment, she looked at Lou Ruozhi and asked: “Aunt, that child…”
“It’s enough, since that child isn’t Su He’s, then there’s no need to say more,” Lou Ruozhi interrupted her coldly.
“…”
Meanwhile, Su He and her group had waited for Sang Luo in the restaurant for two and a half hours.
She finally appeared.
Sang Yuxuan was the first to notice Sang Luo coming in, and she immediately waved her little hands happily: “Mommy, mommy, I’m here, I’m here…”
Su He and Jing Xuan followed the little girl’s direction and saw a petite figure running towards them.
Su He noticed the sweat on her forehead, panting as if she had run over.
“Are you the Miss Su who called me?” Sang Luo asked, out of breath.
Su He nodded: “You can call me Su He, do you need to sit down and drink some water?”
Su He saw her lips were somewhat cracked.
Meanwhile, Sang Yuxuan had thoughtfully handed her own water cup to her.
In a babyish voice: “Mommy, drink some water first, it’s not urgent.”
Sang Luo took the cup and drank half of it.
After finishing the water, she looked at Su He and Jing Xuan, somewhat embarrassed: “I’m sorry, I ran here from the subway station, worrying about delaying your time.”
“Thank you so much for today, I really don’t know how to thank you.”
Sang Luo appeared to be around 165 cm tall, her small stature graced with elegance, like a graceful swan or agile dragon.
With shoulder-length black hair, delicate and gentle features, eyes like paintings, the whole person seemed gentle and peaceful.
