Who doesn't know how to pretend?
Shuxin smiled sweetly. "Thank you, Aunt Rou. Where's my dad?"
Jiang Tingrou intimately held Shuxin's arm and walked towards the living room. "Your dad is in the study upstairs. Sit down and rest first. I'll go get him." Then she turned around and instructed Shu Mengling, "Ling 'er, go get a glass of water for your sister."
Shu Mengling nodded meekly. "Okay." Then she turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
All of this seemed very heartwarming, but it gave Shuxin the feeling that Jiang Tingrou and Shu Mengling were the hosts, and she was just a guest being served.
Shuxin stopped Jiang Tingrou who was about to go upstairs. "Aunt Rou, you don't have to make this trip. I'll go up and find my dad myself."
Jiang Tingrou was slightly stunned. She felt that Shuxin's words carried a faint sense of alienation, but her eyes clearly contained a smile. "Go ahead then. Ask your dad to come down for dinner."
"Okay."
Jiang Tingrou watched Shuxin's figure disappear from the staircase. She turned around and was about to go to the kitchen when Shu Mengling came out with a glass of water.
Jiang Tingrou hurriedly pulled Shu Mengling aside. She frowned and asked softly, "Do you know when your dad and Xin 'er reconciled?"
Shu Mengling was also confused. "I was going to ask you."
Jiang Tingrou's expression became serious. "Your dad came back with a big smile today. I asked him what happened, but he only smiled and said it was a happy occasion. He even said that he would wait until Xin 'er came back. Then he asked Uncle Qiu to pick up Xin' er from school. Yesterday your dad saw Xin 'er at the hospital and didn't even let me greet her. Today he asked her to come home for dinner. This is too strange. "
Shu Mengling's eyes flashed with a viciousness that didn't belong to her age. "Mom, we finally chased Shuxin out of the Shu family. We can't let her come back just like that. It's hard to find a matching heart that doesn't cost money except for the one in Shuxin's body."
"I know what you're saying, but we don't know what's going on now. How can we deal with her?"
Shu Mengling was silent for a few seconds. Then she asked, "You said that Xin's mother didn't die from hemorrhage. She abandoned her husband and children and left with another man, right?"
Jiang Tingrou didn't understand why Shu Mengling suddenly asked about this old story that Shu Youkang had been hiding from her, but she still nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"
Shu Mengling's eyes shone with a calculating light. "20 years ago, the woman that dad loved abandoned him for another man. 20 years later, Shuxin, who dad doted on dearly, abandoned him for another man. As long as I make good use of Xiao Ruize, this trump card, Shui Xin won't be able to escape from my grasp. And dad will never forgive Shuxin for abandoning him for another man."
Jiang Tingrou nodded. She stroked Shu Mengling's hair proudly. "My baby girl is still the smartest."
…
Shuxin came to the study and gently pushed open the door. Shu Youkang was sitting in front of the desk, reading documents with his head lowered. There was a cigarette between his right fingers. White smoke slowly rose from between his fingers.
Because his head was lowered, Shuxin could see a few white hairs on Shu Youkang's head. A sour feeling instantly rose in her heart. Had her dad become old too?
"Dad."
Shu Youkang heard the sound and raised his head. When he saw Shuxin, his gaze became complicated. "You're here?"
"Mm."
Shu Youkang pointed at the chair opposite the desk. "Have a seat."
