Chapter 19: Sorry for Being Nosy

“You bitch!”

Mother Lin rushed in, grabbed Su Nianen, and was about to hit her.

In the next second, Mother Lin was pushed away like a chick.

Su Nianen turned around and looked at Gu Xichuan, who had stepped forward.

Gu Xichuan said, “I have no intention of meddling in other people’s business. But I just can’t stand to see you flaunt your seniority and do whatever you want.”

Mother Lin was indignant and wanted to rush forward.

“Who do you think you are? What right do you have to interfere in our family’s matters?”

Su Nianen’s expression hardened. “Come at me again!”

She didn’t react in time just now, allowing Gu Xichuan to stop Mother Lin. Now that they were fighting head-on, there was no way she’d let her sneak any attacks in.

Lin Wenfeng looked at Gu Xichuan and then at Su Nien. He thought about Gu Xichuan’s powerful background.

“Mom, stop talking.”

Su Nianen immediately exploded, “Take your mother and get the hell out!”

Lin Wenfeng glanced at Su Nianen and said in a low voice, “I’ll come back another day to apologize to Dad and Mom.”

“Apologizing to this family? What’s the point of that?”

Lin Wenfeng pushed his mother away quickly. He still had expectations for Gu Xichuan’s connections, and he couldn’t leave a bad impression here.

He had just heard it clearly. Gu Xichuan called Professor Su “mentor.”

After the mother and son of the Lin family left, the Su family fell silent. It was as if the entire world had fallen silent.

On the upper floors of the two houses, the door of the house across the corridor slammed shut. It was obvious that they had eavesdropped enough.

Su Nianen took a deep breath and turned to the people behind her.

“Dear uncles, I’m really sorry about this whole unsightly affair. It’s all my fault for not listening to my parents, now I’ve made a fool of myself in front of you all. Today is dad’s birthday, he’s been glorious all his life and has never had such a birthday, it’s all because of me. It’s all because of me…”

As Su Nianen spoke, tears streamed down her face.

“We all have our burdens to bear, every family has its hardships.”

“It’s okay. It’s all in the past. Don’t worry.”

“Deal with it well. You’ve already encountered such a thing, don’t avoid it.”

“…”

The elders comforted her and left one after another.

Gu Xichuan stood at the door and sympathized with Su Nien.

He was here today for his son, Gu Tingxuan.

He had been trying his best these past few days, and had yet to manage to see Su Nianen, let alone let his son attend her classes. The high-paying employment contract had also not been signed.

Gu Xichuan had no choice but to use a desperate, last resort maneuver and disturb Professor Su.

He wanted Professor Su to help him intercede. It didn’t matter if he was misunderstood by Su Nianen or if she even hated him, but his son couldn’t afford to wait.

Gu Tingxuan would be five years old next year, and he still didn’t know how to speak…

However, Gu Xichuan had only considered his own situation, and had never expected Su Nianen to be pestered by such an in-law.

Every time he met her, her situation became worse and worse. Gu Xichuan felt very upset.

He had actually known long ago that Professor Su had a talented and beautiful daughter. One year, when he returned to his school to give a lecture, Su Nianen was the student union representative who received him.

At that time, he knew that the young and outstanding girl was his mentor’s daughter. He remembered being impressed, thinking that it was as expected of his mentor’s daughter.

But a few years later, although still outstanding, her life had fallen into a quagmire because of a marriage.

The daughter of the Su family should not have fallen so..

“Mr. Gu, you don’t seem to be leaving. Perhaps you’re thinking of staying for dinner?”

Su Nianen’s rude voice made Gu Xichuan come back to his senses.

Gu Xichuan quickly apologized. “I didn’t mean to interfere in Teacher Su’s private matters. I’m sorry.”

“Since you know to be sorry, why aren’t you leaving?”

Professor Su stopped his daughter. “Nianen, don’t treat just anyone like that. Xichuan is just being kind.”

“Appreciate it.”

Su Nianen entered the house. Her mother was still washing up as Su Nianen stood by the bathroom door for a long time. She felt a strong guilt and sadness within her.

Because of her, her mother had to be humiliated like that at her age.

Su Nianen wiped her tears and took a mop to clean up the entranceway.

However, she saw that Gu Xichuan still hadn’t left yet!

“Do you want to stay at my house for the new year? Why aren’t you leaving?”

She directly chased him away!

She had never been so impatient with an outsider before.

During this period of time, she was always bumping into him!

Meanwhile, Gu Xichuan thought that he had achieved some success after working hard for so many years. Every time he met someone, they had to at least give him some face.

But this Miss Su before him was really something else…
