Yan Yan - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 – Away from home

Everyone was looking at Su Yan with shocked eyes, and Su Yan herself couldn’t believe her ears.

Originally, she thought to use “he is my good friend” to shut the mouths of her uncle’s gossiping family and never thought that silly Baitian would say such a thing.

Lin Chuanhao reacted first, showing a calm smile towards Su Zhan and saying, “But as far as I know, Mr. Bai doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

Su Yan: ‘It’s over! Let it be revealed!’

In desperation, she pinched Silly Baitian fiercely from under the table.

Su Zhan gritted his teeth and endured the huge pain in his thigh, and he looked at Lin Chuanhao without changing his face. “He is the CEO of a large group. Has he needed to report his personal things to a little intern like you?”

Lin Chuanhao: “…”

Surprisingly, Su Yan looked at her younger brother and realised that this silly Baitian’s psychological quality was really not generally stable, and he could also talk this way.

Su Qian remained suspicious and snorted, “Who can’t brag? Why don’t you bring it over to celebrate Grandma’s birthday today if it really is a boyfriend?”

Chen Baihui quickly joined the verbal battle. “Yes, Grandma celebrates her birthday. Why didn’t he come today? Or did he decide not to attend?”

Su Jianye: “Actually, it’s normal if he doesn’t want to come. After all, the incident between Yanyan and Xie Yu has just passed, and our family feels sorry for Yanyan, but in the eyes of outsiders, Yanyan is a married woman, a big boss, and a married woman. ”

“Su Jianye!” Su Jianan suddenly slapped the table and interrupted with a roar.

Liu Xiang was also so angry that she dropped the chopsticks in her hand and stared at her brother-in-law with a livid face. “What do you mean by that? Our Yanyan is clean and innocent; why do you say such words?”

Su Jianye, who didn’t expect his sister-in-law to say such a thing, was stunned and turned to look at his old mother.

The old lady Su, who had always preferred her younger son, reacted angrily to her eldest son and daughter-in-law, asking, “Do you two think that this old woman is dead? I’m still here; why are you torturing your own brother? Why don’t you bully him to death after I die?

Liu Xiang asked with red eyes, “Mom, at least can you be fair? Can he really say that about my daughter?”

Mrs. Su snorted coldly: “Did he say something wrong? Isn’t that little loser you gave birth to a broken shoe that was kicked by others?”

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, staring at her grandmother in disbelief—’A broken shoe? She actually called me a broken shoe?’

Liu Xiang and Su Jianan were also taken aback, looking at the old lady in disbelief.

Even Su Zhan was stunned.

Su Jianye’s face suddenly displayed a satisfied expression.

Su Qian said in a quiet voice, echoing her grandmother, “That’s right, it’s just a second-hand product that was dumped.”

Su Zhan clenched his fists; his joints turned white, and his face was gloomy. He was staring at Su Qian intently. “If you say one more fucking word, I will strangle you to death.”

Not to be outdone, Su Qian said, “Oh, really? I’m afraid of you!”

Su Zhan stood up from the stool. Su Yan was afraid that her younger brother would act impulsively, so she quickly got up and hugged his arm.

Su Qian froze at first and then threw herself into her mother’s arms in horror. “Mom! He’s going to strangle me!”

Chen Baihui quickly embraced her daughter, and just as she was about to yell at Su Zhan, Su Yan suddenly pointed her finger at Chen Baihui and screamed, “Shut your mouth!”

Chen Baihui: “…”

The others were the same; they were all shocked by Su Yan’s sudden temper.

In everyone’s impression, Su Yan had always been a gentle and submissive girl, obedient and well-behaved, but a dog could jump over a wall when it was pushed, let alone a human.

Su Yan took a deep breath to calm herself down, pulled her younger brother back to the seat, and looked at her uncle calmly. “Although it was Xie Yu who escaped from the marriage, I was the one who voluntarily divorced him. If you step on me to promote your own daughter, you must at least figure out the implementation situation first.” After she finished speaking, she remembered something again. “By the way, don’t always think that your daughter is the best in the world; other people’s daughters are the best. Keep your eyes open; I am more than ten times better than Su Qian.”

Su Zhan immediately joined his sister. “Yes! My sister is whiter than Su Qian, taller than Su Qian, better-looking than Su Qian, more beautiful than Su Qian, and has more money than Su Qian.”

Su Qian: “…”

Su Zhan: “There are too many people chasing my sister, without Xie Yu and Bai Xingfan, there are other men with better qualities. Su Qian, you can’t even dream of it!”

Su Qian felt angry and ashamed at the same time after listening to Su Zhan’s words.

Su Jianye: “Why is our Qianqian not as good as your sister?”

Chen Baihui was also furious. “Even if Qianqian is not as good as your sister, she was not kicked at the wedding! Shameless second-hand people also have the guts to talk about our Qianqian.”

“Get out!” Liu Xiang suddenly stood up from the stool, and pointed at the door, saying, “You all get out!”

Mrs. Su threw away the chopsticks in her hand and shouted at her eldest daughter-in-law, “Who are you? How dare you let my son go? It’s you and your little loser who should go! It’s a shame!”

Su Jianan shouted helplessly, “Mom!”

The old lady Su was unmoved and pointed at both Su Yan and her mother. “Two b*stards!”

Liu Xiang, who was crying, was trembling with anger.

“Mom!”  Seeing their mother crying, Su Yan and Su Zhan jumped up from the chairs, and both rushed to Liu Xiang’s side, hugging their mother’s arms on the left and right.

“Why do you let my mother go? This is my father’s and my mother’s home! My mother has worked hard for this family all her life, but in the end, you still treat her as an outsider. You… If you think my mother is not good, then you go to your little son’s house! Let your favourite little son take care of you! Why are you staying at my house?!” Su Yan was furious.

Su Jianan snapped, “Yanyan! Why are you talking to Grandma like this?”

Old Lady Su was so angry that she couldn’t speak, all she could do was point at Su Yan through gritted teeth.

Su Jianye was just about to speak, but Chen Baihui pulled off his clothes forcefully and motioned for him to shut up—it would be terrible if the old lady really wanted to go to their house. Then Su Jianye sat back on the chair obediently.

Su Yan glanced coldly at her uncle and aunt, and then at her grandma. “Haha…ha… Did you see that? If your favourite young son and young daughter-in-law really wanted to raise you, they would have spoken a long time ago! Only my mother will treat you so sincerely! You are the most unconscionable person in this family!”

Mrs. Su was so angry by Su Yan’s words that she fell on the chair as she was dizzy.

Seeing this, Su Jianan immediately ran to his old mother, supported her body, and scolded his daughter again, “Stop saying a few words!”

Su Zhan glared at his father. “Did my sister say something wrong? Which sentence is wrong?”

The old lady Su opened her eyes after a while, and she stared at Su Yan and her mother viciously. “Jianan, if you want your mother to live a few more years, divorce this woman!”

Su Jianan froze. “Mom! What are you talking about?”

Mrs. Su: “You can choose. Me or her. With her, I’ll not stay.”

Su Yan and Su Zhan were stunned—so surprised that they couldn’t utter a word.

Liu Xiang even burst into tears, feeling that her hard work for so many years had been fed to the dog! After working so hard to serve this old lady for so many years, she ended up being persuaded to divorce.

The grievances that had accumulated in her heart for many years broke out completely. Liu Xiang took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe the tears, and then nodded heavily. “Yes, you are always right; it should have been like this; this family has you without me, Su Jianan, you can figure it out yourself!” After finishing speaking, she turned and walked out of the living room, returned to the room, and closed the door with a “sound”.

“Xiaoxiang! Xiaoxiang!” Su Jianan panicked but couldn’t chase because he couldn’t get away from his old mother.

Su Yan and Su Zhan had chased their mother to the room but couldn’t enter as Liu Xiang had locked the door. They stood outside the door, knocking repeatedly. After a while, Liu Xiang opened the door with a suitcase.

Su Zhan: “Mom, where are you going?”

Liu Xiang: “I can’t live in this house! I didn’t buy the house, I’ll leave. Your grandma will feel better after leaving!”

Su Zhan was anxious. “Mom, what are you talking about? This is your home!”

But Su Yan said, “I will go with you!” After finishing speaking, she ran to her room to pack her things.

Su Zhan was stunned. He looked at his mother in the room, then at his sister, who turned to leave, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. “I’m leaving too!”

Ten minutes later, the mother, the daughter, and the son packed up three suitcases and stood at the entrance door.

Su Jianan stomped his feet anxiously. “What are you three doing?”

Liu Xiang was dressed neatly, with a white wide-brimmed hat on top of her head, her eyes were still red, but her attitude and tone were very tough. “The old lady also said just now that if I stay, she will leave, and if she stays, I have to leave. Su Jianan, I have been with you for so many years, and I ended up in this kind of situation in the end. What am I trying to do?” As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again. “You can handle this matter yourself. It’s time to solve the problem. If we can’t solve it, we will divorce!” After speaking, she opened the security door and left with the suitcase.

Su Jianan: “Xiao Xiang!”

Both Su Yan and Su Zhan gave their father an angry look, then followed in their mother’s footsteps.

“Yan Yan! Xiao Zhan!” Su Jianan was about to chase after the three of them, but suddenly the voice of his younger brother came from the dining room. “Brother, our mother seems to have fainted. Come and see!”

Su Jianan looked outside the door and then at the dining room door. He finally let out a long sigh and hurried back to see his mother.

Five minutes later, the mother and the two children dragged their suitcases and stood in front of the Cupid fountain outside the main entrance of the community.

Su Zhan glanced at his mother, then at his sister, and asked weakly, “Where are we going now?”

Su Yan thought for a while, and said, “Let’s go to your villa. It’s all finished anyway.”

A light flashed in Su Zhan’s eyes. “That’s right! If you don’t remind me, I will never remember it!”

Su Yan: “Then I’ll look for a taxi now!” However, as soon as she took out her phone, her mother’s voice came to her ear.

“No… We can’t go there.”

Surprised, the siblings looked at each other, and then Su Yan asked cautiously, “Why can’t we go there?”

Liu Xiang: “Your dad can definitely find it if we go there. I’m going to a place where he can’t find it!”

The siblings couldn’t laugh or cry—it turned out that middle-aged couples were so self-willed when they quarreled.

Liu Xiang added categorically, “If your father can’t solve this problem this time, I will never see him again!”

Su Yan asked again: “Then where do you want to go?”

Liu Xiang: “I don’t know.”

Su Yan smiled helplessly. “Then let’s book a hotel. Or that kind of short-term rental.”

Liu Xiang thought for a while and ordered, “Okay, you decide, Mom will pay.”

“No, I have money.” Su Yan opened the app, and when she was about to search for hotels, Su Zhan suddenly said, “Let’s stand by the side of the road. It’s too hot here.”

Su Yan continued to search for hotels, but the situation was not encouraging, so the mother and son moved under a large tree on the side of the road.

As May Day approached, there were a lot of tourists coming to Dongfu. Even the small hostels didn’t have any beds because the majority of hotels were completely booked. The remainder were either pricey to absurdly expensive five-star hotels or cheap guest houses with low quality and reviews.

A standard room costs more than 1,000 yuan, and they couldn’t afford to stay in a five-star hotel. The three of them needed to open at least two rooms, but they had no idea how to do it.

After searching for nearly 20 minutes and changing several apps, Su Yan couldn’t find a suitable hotel.

Just as she was about to see if there was any short-term rental house, her younger brother suddenly said to her, “My mother is crying again.” Su Zhan’s voice was very low, with anxiety and worry in his tone.

Su Yan turned her head and took a look and found that her mother had walked away quietly by herself, and now she was standing in front of the iron railing covered with vines with her back facing the street, wiping her tears.

Su Yan sighed and said distressingly, “Grandma really went too far this time! How can she force our father to divorce our mother? Our mother’s heart was broken by her!”

“That’s right! It’s too much!” Su Zhan completely agreed with his sister’s opinion. “Our mother has served her for so many years, she really doesn’t miss our mother at all.”

Su Yan glared at him and said, “Why didn’t you say that at the dining table?”

“Grandma is still good to me, so I’m too embarrassed to say that to her face. And sister… she just sent me 20,000 yuan just now.” Su Zhan murmured, scratching his head.

Su Yan: ‘20,000? Sure enough, she was only thinking about his precious grandson…’

Su Yan was jealous and angry. “You are an idiot; you have no principles at all!”

Su Zhan: “How could I be an idiot? I followed you two and ran away from home. Isn’t my position clear enough? I’m supporting you with my actions!”

Listening to her brother’s words, Su Yan’s anger subsided a bit. “You have a conscience.”

Su Zhan smiled brightly. “Of course I have a conscience; my favourites are my sister and my mother!”

Su Yan’s anger completely dissipated, she picked up her phone again and continued to look for a house.

Su Zhan carefully looked at his sister’s face. “Well, sister, I want to tell you something.”

Su Yan said without raising her head, “Say.”

Su Zhan took a step back before he dared to speak. “When I just left home, I sent a WeChat message to Brother Bai.”

Su Yan: “…”

“I said that our grandmother kicked us out of our house, and now we don’t have a place to go,” Su Zhan said while taking another step back.

Su Yan: “… “

Su Zhan: “And he said… he would come to pick us up… Hey, I didn’t mention that… It was Brother Bai’s own invention.”

Su Yan: “…”

Seeing his sister’s face getting blue and green with anger, Su Zhan ran back a few steps in a hurry, hid behind the big tree, held the trunk of the tree with his hand, tilted his head, and said, “Brother Bai said, it is difficult to find a hotel these days.”

Su Yan took a deep breath and looked at her younger brother expressionlessly. “Come here.”

Su Zhan: “I won’t come!”

Su Yan: “I won’t hit you!”

Su Zhan: “Only fools believe it! I’m not stupid!”

Su Yan: ‘Are you not stupid? There is no one more heartless than you in the world!’

Just when the siblings were at a stalemate, a black Maybach business car slowly stopped in front of Su Yan. The driver in formal clothes got out of the car first, quickly walked around the car, and stretched out his hand to open the rear door.

Bai Xingfan was sitting there wearing a dark blue suit, a white shirt inside, and a sea-blue tie. The silver slender tie clip shone with silver light, and the edge of the handkerchief was exposed perfectly on the left chest pocket.

The man sitting in the car got out of the car with a diligent manner and stood in front of Su Yan.

Sunlight fell into Bai Xingfan’s eyes through the gaps between the branches and leaves, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly opened his lips. “Miss Su, long time no see.”

Su Yan blushed suddenly, ashamed and embarrassed .

Originally, it was stated that they would never contact each other again and that they only treated each other as passing by in the spring breeze. Who knew that silly Baitian would send him a message!

“I didn’t ask Xiao Zhan to send you a message!” She tried her best to explain, “He wanted to send it himself; I don’t know! You don’t have to worry about us, I don’t want to trouble you!”

“No trouble.” Bai Xingfan looked into Su Yan’s eyes. “As long as it is your business, I am willing to do my best.”

Su Yan’s face turned even redder.

“Yanyan, who is this?” Her mother, Liu Xiang, came over at some point, and looked at Bai Xingfan in surprise.

Su Zhan suddenly appeared from behind the tree and shouted at the top of his lungs, “He is Bai Xingfan, the CEO of Haoyuan Group!”

Liu Xiang’s eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Bai Xingfan in shock. “You, you really are our Yanyan boyfriend!”

Bai Xingfan was startled and looked at Su Yan in surprise.

Su Yan: ‘Help!’
