Chapter 11: Dumped and Cast Aside
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mrs. Su, what you said makes no sense at all,” Mo Weiyi scoffed, furrowing her brows angrily. “Wanwan was so angry that she ran away from home last night. She stayed at my house last night and did not go home at all. Why didn’t you at least call me to ask about Wanwan?”
Jiang Yi was still smiling as she replied slowly, “How could a father and daughter possibly have an overnight feud? Besides, all of us know that Wanwan has Miss Mo as her good friend in Nanchang. Yuntang also told me to bring Yanyan here to visit Dad today, because Wanwan would certainly come here to see her grandfather today too. I feel relieved now that I see Wanwan safe and sound.”
Jiang Yi’s words skilfully deflected attention away from the core problem, and easily attributed the reason why Su Wanwan left home to an argument between father and daughter instead. She did not only clear herself from any blame, but also praised Mo Weiyi without mentioning Xing Yuyun at all.
She was truly skilled!
Mo Weiyi was at a loss for words, her cheeks puffed up in anger.
“Wanwan, we can go home together after visiting your grandfather so that you can stay at your own house. It is not good for you to constantly be troubling Miss Mo. I have already asked Aunty Yang to prepare lunch, she has cooked all your favorite dishes,” Jiang Yi continued speaking in a motherly tone.
“No need.” Su Wanwan was direct. “You can ask your son-in-law who has already married into your family and is living under your roof to eat those dishes instead.”
Su Yanyan was infuriated when she heard this. “Su Wanwan, what nonsense are you talking about? When did Brother Yun become a son-in-law who married into our family and is living under our roof?”
“Oh! Didn’t he marry into the family?” Su Wanwan tilted her head slightly as she continued speaking in an innocent tone, “The both of you are not married yet but he is already running to our house every day. He is even sleeping on your bed already. It made me wonder if I was actually at the Xing family’s house yesterday.”
“Su Wanwan, you-”
“Yanyan.” Jiang Yi grabbed her daughter and stopped her immediately.
This was because the door of the ward was pushed open and someone came out of the ward at that moment.
Su Wanwan did not bother about Su Yanyan anymore and hurriedly stepped forward. “Uncle Zhou!”
“Young lady?!” Zhou Teng was surprised. “When did you return to China?”
“Last night.” Su Wanwan did not want to say too much and asked, “Uncle Zhou, how is my grandfather’s health?”
“Oh! The operation was a huge success and the old master is recuperating very well. He is in a very good mood and high spirits today. If he finds out that you are back home to visit him, he will certainly be very happy. He might even fully recover and be discharged soon!”
After he was done speaking, Zhou Teng smiled politely at Jiang Yi and said, “The old master said that he is feeling a little unwell and does not want to see anyone today. He asks that you go back first. You can come and visit him again when you are free next time.”
He had a completely different attitude when he spoke to Jiang Yi.
Although Jiang Yi had very high emotional intelligence, she could not stop the expression on her face from turning ugly as soon as she heard those words.
Su Yanyan stomped her feet angrily and said, “Mom, why is Grandpa always like this? How many times has he refused to see us?! I think he is deliberately doing this. He is making things difficult for us on purpose!”
Mo Weiyi laughed loudly before sneering, “Grandpa Su is only hospitalized because the both of you made him angry, so isn’t it normal for him to refuse to see you? Don’t the both of you feel embarrassed or ashamed to come and see Grandpa Su after doing something so wicked? You are even blaming him for refusing to see the both of you; the both of you are really thick-skinned!”
“What wicked thing did I do? Why don’t you tell me what wicked thing I did then?”
“Never mind. Forget it.” Jiang Yi abruptly grabbed her daughter and said gently, “Since Dad is not willing to meet us today, then Yanyan and I will go home first.”
After she was done speaking, Jiang Yi dragged Su Yanyan with her and they left immediately.

After entering the elevator, Jiang Yi began to reprimand her daughter, “Yanyan, you are the young lady of the Su family. You should pay attention to your own status and identity when you are in front of outsiders. You should be careful about what you say and do, and not be so reckless and impulsive.”
“Isn’t she just Mo Weiyi? What is so great about her? Mom, why are you so afraid of her?” Su Yanyan asked doubtfully.
That Su Wanwan was arrogant because she had been relying on Su Xueqin’s favor and affection towards her all these years. She was obviously just an illegitimate daughter with an unknown mother, but she had an even more glorious and glamorous life compared to her, the genuine young lady of the Su family.
And that Mo Weiyi! Whenever there was any party or gathering among their circle, Mo Weiyi would always ignore her. Mo Weiyi acted like a pampered princess and completely disregarded Su Yanyan no matter how much she tried to please or flatter her.
Su Yanyan felt that Su Wanwan was the one who was behind all this. She could only blame herself for not guarding herself against that illegitimate child earlier…
“It’s not a matter of whether I am afraid of her or not,” Jiang Yi replied wearily.
No matter what it was, the blood flowing through Su Wanwan’s veins was the blood of the Su family. Even if she was dissatisfied or unhappy about it, it was still an indisputable fact. Jiang Yi had even sent someone to the hospital to get a paternity test done for Su Wanwan in the past.
She really did not understand why Su Xueqin would be so protective of an illegitimate child of a minx. He even repeatedly ordered her to keep everything that happened that year a secret.
“Does she really think that she is that great because she is close to the young lady of the Mo family? Hasn’t she also been dumped by Brother Yun anyway? She is nothing but someone who has been dumped and cast aside! What is she so arrogant for?” Su Yanyan’s mood improved when she mentioned Xing Yuyun. “Mom, since Grandpa refuses to see us, why don’t we go to the bridal shop again? I want to pick another two more wedding dresses.”
Even if Xing Yuyun was angry last night, it wouldn’t change anything. During the engagement banquet, she would let everyone in Nanchang know that she, Su Yanyan, was the only genuine young lady of the Su family!
And Xing Yuyun was her man!
She was going to look extremely beautiful and glamourous during her engagement banquet. She wanted to make Su Wanwan feel ashamed and inferior compared to her so that she would willingly retreat!
