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

After returning home, Tang Junyao felt a bit conflicted. She felt that something was off about what Ji Hancheng had said earlier, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Aunt Zhang was still preoccupied with the incident involving Xiaoyouzi's father and thought that Tang Junyao would have to wait a long time to come up. Unexpectedly, Tang Junyao followed closely behind her shortly after she came up.

Aunt Zhang looked at Tang Junyao, who hesitated for a long time before asking with concern, "Miss, was that gentleman really our young master's father? What if he...?"

She knew what Aunt Zhang was worried about, and comforted her, saying, "No, he said he wouldn't fight me for the son. Don't worry. If he really wanted to take him from me, I would tell Uncle and the others. Don't worry. I'm taking Lele to the Su family later. Do you want me to take you to the mansion first?"

Aunt Zhang was still a little worried, but she couldn't interfere in this matter. The other party seemed to be from a wealthy family, and if they really wanted to compete with the young lady for the young master, it would probably be a long battle. She quickly said, "No need, we like to take the subway. It's better for us to walk more as we get older."

Seeing that her aunt said that, Tang Junyao didn't insist. "Alright then, I'll help Lele change her clothes and then we'll leave."

After changing her clothes, Tang Junyao went to the largest supermarket and bought a lot of things, including bird's nest, gifts, fruits, and seafood. In the end, she followed Baihu and got the items into the car.

Half an hour later, she drove to the Su family's house. Baihu's car, which had been following hers, also arrived at the Su family's gate. He quickly got out and helped unload the items from the trunk, placing them all at the entrance. Then, he respectfully asked, "Miss, would you like me to take these inside?"

Tang Junyao thought about it and decided against it. After all, Su's mother didn't know Baihu, and besides, she was here to apologize, so it would be more sincere to come alone. "No need, just put them here for me. I'll carry them in myself later. Thank you for your help."

The white tiger remained respectful, saying, "It's what I should do. I'll be waiting nearby. Just call me if you need anything."

Tang Junyao nodded in agreement, then used one hand to press the doorbell. It rang twice, and the nanny opened the door.

The door was opened by the Su family's nanny. She recognized Tang Junyao, as she came frequently, and her attitude was always excellent. "Miss Tang has arrived. Should these be taken inside?"

Tang Junyao smiled and replied, "Yes, Auntie, thank you for your help."

The nanny politely said, "It's no trouble at all. Please come in with the child, I'll take your things."

Since Tang Junyao was holding Lele in her arms, it wasn't convenient for her to carry anything else. So she thought she would go inside first, put Lele down, and then turn around to help carry the things.

Su's mother sat on the sofa with Little Strawberry. Since learning the child's true identity, she had become even more attentive. "Yueyue, what do you want to eat today? Grandma will make it for you. We bought some big shrimp today, do you want some?"

Little Strawberry loves to eat shrimp, so Su's mother always buys shrimp every few days, spoiling her rotten.

Tang Junyao was genuinely happy for Su Xue, and called out to Su's mother's retreating figure with a hint of nervousness and guilt, "Auntie."

Hearing the sound, Su's mother turned around and saw Tang Junyao standing there holding her son. She hadn't come in yet. Su's mother hurriedly called out, "Come on, it's been a few days since we've seen our little handsome boy. He seems to have become even more handsome."

Tang Junyao thought that Su's mother would be angry when she saw her, but she didn't expect this scene. Her inner tension gradually relaxed.

Little Strawberry had happily run to her feet and stood there, wanting Tang Junyao to hug him. "Mommy hug me." She put her son on the ground, picked up Little Strawberry and kissed him. She didn't know whether to tell Little Strawberry not to call her Mommy anymore, but she was a little hesitant to say it.

Su's mother assumed Tang Junyao was taking her granddaughter out to play, and didn't think anything of it because Little Strawberry called her "Mommy." "Little Xue is still in bed. Are you going out to play today?"

She shook her head, a little embarrassed, and sat down with Little Strawberry in her arms. Little Grapefruit was already playing with his toys. Seeing him playing, Little Strawberry slid off her lap and joined in. The children's conversation began: "Brother."

Little Yuzu coldly uttered a single word, "Hmm."

Tang Junyao: ".............." Damn genes, Xiaoyouzi is never very talkative outside.

She looked at Su's mother and replied, "Auntie, I didn't take Yueyue out to play today. I came to apologize to you. We were wrong to keep this from you with Xiaoxue. I'm sorry." Her attitude was sincere and earnest, almost to the point of bowing.

Looking at the pile of gifts on the coffee table, Su's mother finally understood what this girl meant. She rolled her eyes at Tang Junyao and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Do you think your aunt is such a stingy person? Your aunt is a very magnanimous person. I've already moved on from this. Besides, I'm too happy to have such a precious granddaughter as Yueyue."

Su's mother had completely forgotten that when she beat Su Xue that morning, Su Xue was too tired from having insomnia and thinking about things last night, and after being beaten by her mother, she went back to sleep.

Tang Junyao had imagined many scenarios, but none of them were like this. She thought that at least Su's mother would be angry, but she wasn't at all. Instead, she comforted her. She really had a great capacity for tolerance.

It can support not only boats, but also oil tankers.

"Thank you, Auntie. We were wrong to do this, and it was all because of me. Otherwise, Xiaoxue wouldn't be a single mother."

I already heard my daughter explain the reason for her pregnancy this morning. I can't blame the child; she's had a hard life to begin with, stuck with that family. "This isn't your fault; it's all your father's fault... Tang Xin's fault. Don't take the blame on yourself; you're all good children."

Even though Su's mother spoke in a lighthearted manner, her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. She swallowed hard, her eyes stinging, and she suppressed the tears that threatened to fall.

Noticing the change in her mood, Su's mother changed the subject, "Yaoyao, tell Auntie, is Lu Jinnan pursuing Xiaoxue? I think that child likes her quite a bit."

Sure enough, hearing this topic was more effective than any words of comfort. She no longer had the urge to cry, and was only shocked. Su's mother actually liked Lu Jinnan?

To please Su's mother, she betrayed Su Xue for the first time in her life, becoming a traitor who provided information. "Auntie, I think Lu Jinnan might like our Xiaoxue. Every day when Xiaoxue goes to work, he brings her a bouquet of roses. Now everyone in the hospital knows that someone is pursuing her, but they don't know it's Young Master Lu, because after he confessed on the card, he only wrote 'Nan'." Tang Junyao didn't say that it was "Nan who misses you, Nan who loves you," because that was too embarrassing to say, too cheesy, too flirtatious.

Mother Su's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Really? That child is really pursuing Xiaoxue? That's wonderful, wonderful. After all, he's Yueyue's father. If he truly loves Xiaoxue, then everyone's happy. To be honest, I do like Lu Jinnan, but I don't want them to be forced together because of the child. Such a marriage won't last. You can't tell Xiaoxue this, or it'll make it seem like I love her to death."

Tang Junyao chuckled. This Su mother was really stubborn but soft-hearted. She clearly cared about Su Xue and was afraid she wouldn't be happy, but she pretended not to care. What a pair of mother and daughter! "I know, Auntie, I won't say anything. But Auntie, don't you mind Lu Jinnan's scandals?"

Mother Su waved her hand dismissively, "Oh, how old am I? I'm already in my fifties. How could I not see people clearly? That child is just playful, but he's not a bad person. He's quite polite too. Otherwise, why would I like him so much? But I don't deny that I was captivated by his looks. He is indeed quite handsome and completely meets my son-in-law's aesthetic standards."

Tang Junyao: Auntie, you don't have to be so blunt.

She silently gave Su's mother a thumbs up.

While Su Xue was still asleep, Su's mother began to bribe her, saying, "Aunt Yao Yao has a task for you."

She said somewhat nervously, "Auntie, please tell me."

"When you're with Xiaoxue in the future, please help me gather intelligence on their relationship and see how things are going. Also, please help your aunt observe whether there's any hope between them."

This task is so difficult! Isn't this espionage? I can't agree or not agree. In the end, I succumbed to the authority of my elder and said, "Okay, Auntie, I'll watch."

Seeing that Tang Junyao had agreed, Su's mother was overjoyed. "You'll be eating lunch and dinner at home! Auntie bought a lot of seafood today. Our Yueyue is a foodie and especially loves shrimp and shellfish."

Tang Junyao: If I don't agree, does that mean I have to go home for dinner?

Finally, the two exchanged WeChat messages, and Su's mother asked her to report any developments to her.
