CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 65: HIDDEN MOTIVES

It was Chang Mei who killed mother, Su Ziceng kept recalling the old servant’s words on her way back.

"What are you still doubting?" Yan Wuxu criticized her hesitation, "Such a large sum of money, if not to silence Nanny Zhou, then what else could it be for?" Su Ziceng had complex feelings towards Chang Mei, including Chang Chi, even more complicated than towards Hang Yishao.

"We’ve lived together for many years," Su Ziceng murmured, now certain that Qiao Chu’s death could not be separated from Chang Mei, yet she didn’t know what to do next.

Tell Su Qingzhang about all of this? Useless, both Su Ziceng and Yan Wuxu were very clear about that. Chang Mei had already become a part of the Su Family, and Chang Chi had also started to get involved in the Su Family’s daily affairs.

"Ziceng, we can help each other, drive away Chang’s mother and daughter," Yan Wuxu placed Su Ziceng’s hand on her own belly. Yan Wuxu’s lower abdomen was still soft, slightly more bulging than usual, inside was a new life, "Besides us, there’s also the little baby inside, your future brother. We will snatch back Qingzhang and the entire Su Family from the hands of Chang’s mother and daughter."

Looking at the fervent light in her friend’s eyes, Su Ziceng felt an unusual sensation, she touched the "Red Love" ring, looked at its bloody red color, and thought of the bloodied Qiao Chu described by Nanny Zhou.

"Okay," the limousine was traveling on the mountain road. After arriving home, Yan Wuxu, upon getting out of the car, told the obsequiously door-opening chauffeur: "The person we saw and the things we did today, you are to act as if you haven’t seen anything." She still used her usual gentle tone, reminiscent of when she first entered Kelly Women’s College, the naive female student, but her gaze had changed, no longer cautious or careful, but a thorough command.

"Understood, madam," the driver bootlicked, knowing the principle of ’maternal influence on the offspring’s value,’ all of the Su Family’s servants understood it.

By the same token, how could Chang Mei not know? Even when Yan Wuxu was still in the United States, Chang Mei knew that things would develop in this direction.

"Mom, are we just going to let those two fox spirits bully us," Chang Chi was also not idle that day, she made a total of ten phone calls to Hang Yishao. Just as she was about to make the eleventh call, Chang Mei canceled it.

"If you keep this up, you’ll be bullied by Su Ziceng for the rest of your life," Chang Mei looked at her frustrated daughter and tried to advise her kindly.

"You should worry about yourself instead of talking about me, I am not a bit concerned about the auction house," Chang Chi was still preoccupied with the warning look that Su Qingzhang had given her.

"I naturally have my own judgement, Yan Wuxu thinks that just because she’s carrying a bean, she can fly to the sky," Chang Mei glanced at the chauffeur bowing and scraping in the garden nearby, then looked at the pot of tea that was brought over, cold and lacking steam. These damned servants, they couldn’t wait to rebel before Yan Wuxu had even come into power.

"That’s right, didn’t you see my godfather’s attitude towards me? Ever since I arrived at the Su Family, he has never treated me that way before," Chang Chi flipped through her mobile phone, not very adept at using this new device, whereas Su Ziceng played with it in hand, clicking away as if she had used it for over a decade.

"It’s your own fault for not striving harder, that incident at the hospital before nearly made the Su and Hang family fall out. If it wasn’t for the Hang Family still needing us now, Hang Yishao wouldn’t bother with you," Chang Mei had been able to stand beside Su Qingzhang for decades because she was good at dealing with people. Especially towards men, she knew very well to hold back appropriately, and never to be overly aggressive.

"Mom, think of a way, lately Yishao hasn’t been paying much attention to me," Chang Chi thought that the kiss last time meant she had reconciled with Hang Yishao, but now Hang Yishao was indifferent to her.

"I’m ashamed for you even saying such words," Chang Mei couldn’t believe that the daughter she had taught would become so shameless.

Since Chang Chi and Hang Yishao and others had gone to Shang Yin’s yacht a few times, her outlook on life had greatly changed. Under the influence of alcohol and those whispering murmurs, she realized that women have the best weapon: their own body, starkly different from the traditional values of propriety and decorum that Chang Mei had always taught.

"I really regret not insisting on sending you to Kelly Women’s School," Chang Mei pondered on how Su Ziceng had discovered a new business opportunity due to a trip to Paris, while her own daughter had completely degenerated into a spoiled brat, "From now on, you’re not allowed to get too close to those unsavory people."
