LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 49
Chapter 49
Mother Su left home in anger, but she didn’t know where to go. After all, she had spent most of her life in a state of confusion.
She had always excelled at work, with each promotion seemingly tailored for her. Now, she had become a figure of authority in the capital, to the point where no one dared to provoke the Su family.
She was a high-ranking official, but she never expected her soft-heartedness to lead to such a big mistake. As she casually ate at a restaurant, she became angrier and angrier. She never expected that one day, she would be too lazy to even go home.
“…Why shouldn’t I go home? Su family is mine, my home. If anyone should leave, it should be someone else. As long as I’m alive, nothing will happen. But after I die, things must be set right!” Mother Su resolved firmly while eating, her eyes filled with determination.
Although divorce would harm her political career, as long as she remained powerful, she could make up for this part.
After making this decision, Father Su’s days became difficult. Mother Su decided to focus on cultivating her younger daughter. After all, if her husband continued to be stubborn for so many years, she would have to take a tough stance.
Meanwhile, Su Ming, the younger daughter of the Su family, had already entered high school. As a second-generation official, she enjoyed a life that most people could only dream of without needing top grades.
Su Ming and her friends all looked down on the adopted daughter of their family because she had been spoiled. They never expected her biological sister to come back. Although she hadn’t returned home, she had already caused chaos in the family, which was increasingly beneficial to Su Ming.
Now that she was older, Su Ming was no longer saddened by her father’s favoritism. After all, he had already worn away her feelings for her biological daughter. Su Ming was now past the age of wanting parental love.
After leaving home, Su Ming found her father’s words amusing. Did he really think she was ignorant and a puppet in his hands? When she returned home, she decided to give Mother Su a piece of her mind and kick them both out.
However, Su Ming was now very curious about her biological sister. She decided to go see her.
Soon, she received information from her friends and read it. Su Ming couldn’t help but feel proud of her biological sister, who could thrive in such difficult circumstances.
Moreover, she was very talented and excelled academically, which made Su Ming feel a little proud. Su Ming couldn’t help but think confidently, “She truly deserves to be my sister. She’s so much stronger than the impostor, a hundred times stronger. Just think, she couldn’t even get into a prestigious high school, let alone a university.”
Due to the presence of that impostor in the family, Su Ming had to rely on herself to get into university. Su Ming was absolutely disgusted by it.
If her biological sister had used her connections, it would have been understandable since it involved family. But Father Su…just thinking about it made her feel sick. She couldn’t help but wonder if there was something going on between them, why he were favoring an outsider like this.
With malicious thoughts swirling in her mind, Su Ming finally found Su Fei’s new home. Standing outside the door, she didn’t know how to knock.
Currently, Su Fei wasn’t attending school anymore. Only Ningning was at home. Because they were still unfamiliar with their neighbors and lived in a standalone house, there was none of the noisy chatter that used to fill their old house, nor the neighbors visiting each other.
After finishing his chores, Ningning occupied himself with some tasks. When he realized it was almost time to go grocery shopping and cook, he stepped out and noticed a student standing outside their house, gazing at it.
Upon closer inspection, Ningning realized the girl resembled his wife a lot, almost like they were sisters. If not for the age difference, he would have mistaken them for twins.
“Do you…need something? Are you the person causing a stir lately?” Ningning’s mind connected a few dots to Su Fei’s recent unusual behavior and the situation with those people from school.
Su Ming didn’t expect to be noticed by her sister’s spouse, let alone have him ask her directly. She hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.
“Yeah, you know now. I’m Su Fei’s biological sister,” Su Ming said, feeling a bit nervous, wondering about their reaction.
Ningning nodded, feeling a bit awkward to bring it up. After all, Su Fei had no intention of acknowledging this relationship. Ningning didn’t show any emotions on the surface, as he naturally had a poker face.
“Let’s have dinner together. I’ll go buy groceries, you can wait inside,” Ningning said, leading Su Ming into the house and asking her to sit on the sofa and watch TV.
Ningning quickly went to buy some cooked food and vegetables to prepare for dinner.
When Su Fei returned home after finishing her tasks at school, she was surprised to see a young girl sitting on the sofa. The two of them stared at each other in silence, feeling awkward, until Ningning returned.
