Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Don't believe my stupid words, "I won't hit you." Su Xue realized that the credibility of this statement was zero.

At this moment, an awkward scene of a chase is unfolding in the Su family.

Su's mother chased after her with a feather duster. Su Xue ran around the living room, lifting her skirt. Su's mother swung the feather duster frantically, trying to hit her daughter's bottom. Su Xue jumped and tumbled onto the sofa. Su's mother, furious, put her hands on her hips and said, "Su Xiaoxue, you've really grown up! You think you can fool your mother? You've got guts! I'll beat you to death!"

Su's mother was so angry her chest ached, and she was still berating her daughter, "I've been wholeheartedly helping you take care of this child every day, and you have the nerve to treat me like a fool? I was wondering why this child didn't look like Yaoyao, so it's yours! Su Xiaoxue, you've gotten quite the schemer, you've even learned to set traps for your mother!"

Su Xue knew she was in the wrong and was clearly several levels below her mother in terms of presence. "Mom, let's talk this out. Can I explain? You've been chasing me for half an hour. Let's not fight like this. Yueyue is watching."

Su's mother continued to stand with her hands on her hips. After running for half an hour, she was starting to feel exhausted. She glanced at Little Strawberry and, sure enough, the little guy's eyes were fixed on them without blinking.

His tone softened, and he lowered his hands from his hips, panting, and sat down on the sofa. He tossed the feather duster aside, raised a hand, and pointed his index finger at Su Xue. "Come on, sit on the sofa and tell me properly how you're so capable."

Su Xue: "............"

She sat down shakily opposite her mother, keeping a safe distance, afraid of being beaten again if she said something wrong. She straightened her messy dress and pleaded with her mother, "I told you, you can't hit me anymore."

While Su's mother was still panting and about to scold her, Little Strawberry suddenly ran over and stayed beside her, saying in a soft and cute voice, "Grandma, hug me."

Su's mother casually picked up Little Strawberry and sat her on her lap. She carefully observed the little one's features again and found that she didn't look much like her daughter. If there was anything similar, it was that her eyes and mouth were somewhat similar, but otherwise they were not alike at all.

Su's mother cut straight to the point, "Yueyue doesn't look like you. Who's her father?"

An old saying goes that a daughter who resembles her father is a treasure, and this granddaughter is a perfect example of that; it seems the child's father is also quite good-looking.

Su Xue: See, see? The first thing my mother did after finding out wasn't how I got pregnant, but to ask who the father of the child was. I knew this soul-searching question would come even before she confessed.

Last night I thought about whether I should lie when my mother asked, but after thinking it over, I decided not to hide it anymore. Lu Jinnan already knows the truth, and sooner or later my mother will find out who the child's father is. There's no way to hide it anymore.

If I keep it from my mother any longer, the end result will be that I get a beating.

He decided to be honest, lowering his gaze and saying in a low voice, "Lu... Jinnan..."

Silence... Time seemed to stand still in the living room; Su's mother was speechless.

There was surprise, delight, and doubt…

After a long while, Su's mother finally came to her senses and asked in confusion, "Didn't you not like Lu Jinnan after your blind date two years ago? How come you two are like this...?" Even the child came out.

Su Xue sighed and began to explain, "Mom, calm down. I'm going to tell you the story of Little Strawberry. It's a bit long..."

Su's mother interrupted her without hesitation. She didn't have time to listen to her nonsense and only wanted to know how the child came to be. "Then get to the point and save the fluff."

"Oh, it was two years ago when I accompanied Yao Yao to Chen Lan's birthday party. You know Chen Lan, she's Uncle Tang's mistress. Let me make this clear, it wasn't our choice to go. Chen Lan and her group threatened Yao Yao, saying they had Aunt Jiang's belongings and forced her to attend the party. They said if she didn't go, her life would be ruined. I wasn't comfortable with that, so I went along. Then, someone Lu Man bribed drugged me, and Lu Jinnan took me home, and then..." She was too embarrassed to describe how she slept with Lu Jinnan, so she just stopped there, leaving her mother to figure it out.

Su's mother knew Tang Xin's family well; they had no moral compass, and it was bizarre for a mistress to take over a man's wife. What good methods or values ​​could they possibly have? She despised people like that the most and also felt sorry for Jiang Rui.

I can understand Yao Yao's desire to reclaim her mother's belongings.

Su's mother disapproved of Tang Xin's behavior. She thought it was absurd for him to neglect his own daughter and instead spoil the daughter brought in by a mistress. She thought Tang Xin must have been kicked in the head by a donkey or slammed in a door.

Completely unaware that Ersan was Tang Xin's biological daughter, Su's mother had already cursed Tang Xin a thousand times in her heart.

"Then why didn't you call your brother? Why did you call Lu Jinnan?" It wasn't that Su's mother disliked Lu Jinnan; she was a traditional person and thought that having a child before marriage was somewhat unpleasant for a woman. Besides, it would be fine if the two were in love, but the point was that they didn't even know what their situation was right now.

Speaking of this phone call, Su Xue felt extremely depressed. She didn't even know she had called Lu Jinnan. She had originally intended to call her brother, but fate had played a cruel trick on her. Now, there was no way to explain it. "Mom, that's not the point. The point is that Yueyue is my biological daughter, and he is her father, but I don't want to be with him. We can't stand each other and are like oil and water."

Su's mother was a little confused. Weren't they supposed to be dating? How come they couldn't stand each other, and it had even escalated to the point of being irreconcilable? "Wait a minute, weren't you dating Lu Jinnan? What do you mean you don't want to be with him anymore? You had a fight and broke up?"

Now it was Su Xue's turn to be dumbfounded. When did she start dating Lu Jinnan? It never even happened in her dreams. "When did I get together with him? He only just found out about the child."

"So you two were never together?" Su's mother didn't believe it and asked again and again to confirm, but Lu's mother clearly said that they were together, so what's going on?

Su Xue also found it strange. Why would her mother think that she and Lu Jin were dating? "Mom, who told you that I'm with him? We've never been together, not two years ago and not now."

Su's mother: "............" What are young people playing these days?

"Your Aunt Lu said it was Lu Jinnan who said it. You're his girlfriend. Why would he say that if you're not with him? Is he pursuing you? Was he pursuing you before or after the child was born?" Su's mother didn't really want Lu Jinnan to be with her daughter because of the child, fearing that his feelings might not be pure.

Su Xue thought for a moment and realized that Lu Jinnan didn't seem to know that Little Strawberry was his daughter before he started sending flowers, and then said with certainty, "Before he knew about the child."

Upon hearing this, Su's mother nodded, "That's good. Does your brother know about this?"

"Know."

Su's mother: ".............." So she's the only one who doesn't know.

"Does your dad know?" The tone was calm, but the expression carried a threatening undertone. If I'm the only one who doesn't know, you're all doomed.

Su Xue answered truthfully, "I don't know, only my brother knows, but he doesn't know who the child's father is."

Su's mother felt much more at ease and her mood improved. Su's mother had always had a good mindset. After taking care of Xiaocaozi for a while, she had long regarded her as her own daughter. Now that she knew it was true, her heart was not greatly affected. It was the information about Xiaocaozi's biological father that touched her the most. How should she tell Lu's mother about this? Did Lu's mother know?

Su's mother glared at Su Xue, her eyes full of dissatisfaction. "Call your brother. He's been abroad for a long time now, why hasn't he called once?"

"Okay." After saying that, she obediently dialed Su Yu's number.

The phone rang for a long time before I answered. "Brother, what are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

There was no Su Yu's voice on the other end of the phone; instead, a doctor was asking, "How are you feeling today?"

There was still no sound from my brother on the other end of the phone, only the doctor's voice: "You need to be careful not to do any strenuous activities with your leg. Try to stay in bed as much as possible and you need to rest."

Su Xue frowned upon hearing this. Her first thought was that something had happened to her brother. She worked at the hospital year-round, so she understood immediately upon hearing this instruction. "Brother, you're in the hospital." It wasn't a question; it was a statement.

Upon learning the truth, Su's mother looked at Xiaocaozi differently. She was teaching Xiaocaozi to call her grandmother when she heard her daughter say that her son was in the hospital. Her face suddenly turned pale, and she gestured for Su Xue to turn the phone on speakerphone.

Su Xue obediently turned on the speakerphone and placed it on the table. "Brother, are you there?"

This time, Su Yu's gentle voice came through, "I'm here. I'm fine. A friend of mine got hurt, so I came to check on him. What happened?"

Su's mother was a little anxious, her heart was clenched, her heartbeat was erratic, and her voice was trembling, "Son, are you really okay? Don't lie to your mother."

A laugh came from the other end of the phone. "Mom, what are you thinking? What could possibly happen to me? I'm at the company every day. Don't worry, I'm just visiting a friend. I'll be back at the company in a bit."

I felt relieved when my son said that, and Su Yu didn't sound sick either. "Okay, then take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself. Come back as soon as you're done over there."

Su's mother chatted with her son for a few more minutes before hanging up. She had originally wanted to share this matter with him and complain about keeping it from him, but when she heard the word "hospital," she forgot everything. Now she thought better of it and decided to wait until her son came back to talk about it.

After hanging up the phone, Su's mother and Little Strawberry played together on the sofa. Su Xue sat on the sofa playing on her phone, sending text messages to her best friend. After venting her feelings, she felt refreshed and incredibly happy.
