Chapter 308: Chapter 314: The Heart of Gain and Loss Goes Mad
āSis, canāt you let people sleep at this ungodly hour?ā
āXiao Hai, what do you plan to do about this matter?ā Su Yun asked anxiously.
āOf course Iām going to find the person and bring her back!ā Isnāt that obvious? If I wasnāt worried something might happen, I would have told Dad a long time ago.
āNo way!ā Su Yun suddenly screamed, the shrill sound banishing all of Su Haiās sleepiness.
āSis, have you really gone crazy? Thatās your own daughter!ā Su Hai had been feeling resentful toward Su Yun ever since he learned about the matter.
āThatās not it, but if you bring her back, how am I supposed to explain to your brother-in-law?ā She missed her child, but she was even more afraid of losing Xingzhi.
A fierce look appeared in Su Haiās eyes; the more his sister acted like this, the more he wanted to bring his niece back.
āYou donāt need to worry about this. Just leave it to meā¦ā Su Hai said and hung up the phone directly.
On the other side, Su Yunās hand holding the phone froze mid-air, her eyes shifting from aimless to a look of heavy contemplation.
She was a person conflicted in character. In the face of love, she would become as naĆÆve as a little girl who could never grow up, innocent, craving protection, longing to be the cherished flower held in the palm of the person she loved. But at the same time, her personality also bore the domineering traits of the Su Family people.
Relentless, cunning in calculations, and capable of hard-hearted decisions.
Initially, she ruthlessly picked any man for a better life, and later, for love, she could leave her newborn child behind without a second thought.
Now, for love again, she was ready to abandon her own daughter.
Weakness followed by extremes, thatās Su Yun, the Su Yun who had always been feared.
Sitting alone by the phone, she began to reminisce about the past, and the more she recalled, the clearer her mind became. For Meng Xingzhi, she would do anything and could lose anything.
She couldnāt acknowledge this child for now, but the Su Family could.
Having her eldest brother acknowledge her as his illegitimate daughter would have been perfect, wouldnāt it? If her younger brother had been age-appropriate, having him acknowledge the daughter would have been even better.
*******
Not only Su Yun was sleepless, but someone else was awake too.
Hai Lan was lying in the bottom bunk underneath Qin Cuifen, half-opening her eyes, still covering her cheek with her right hand. In her eyes swirled flaming anger that could devour a person.
She was a little beggar who had been skillful enough to eat her fill and ask for more on the streets than the others.
Now with all favorable conditions at hand, how could she possibly lose?
Sheng Ning, right? Dare to compete with her over a man; she would make her life a living hell.
Imagining Sheng Ningās tragic fate, Hai Lan laughed with a sense of satisfaction.
The next day, what should have been the main attention-grabber was Hai Lan joining the Song and Dance Troupe. However, due to the sudden emergence of Blood Rose, Hai Lanās limelight didnāt stand a chance.
At the introductory session for newcomers in Training Room One in the morning, enthusiasm was lacking. After all, the stir caused by Mr. Mengās arrival was too great, and the women, with their sensitive and even jealous minds, found it too much.
Excessive, to a fault!
Moreover, that night at the auditorium, Sheng Ning had slapped her, and in the end, the head of the Inspection Department didnāt side with the so-called Miss of the Hai Family, so even less of a fuss was made by the others.
Hai Lan was met with a cold reception, an unprecedentedly chill not experienced since she started school, nor since she joined the Hai Family.
Back at the Dance College, she was renowned as the standout talent, the one everyone revolved around, didnāt they?
And Qiu Bai, whether purposely or not, seemed to needle her; under normal circumstances, shouldnāt she have been the first to present her talent?
