Pampered By All In Different Planes

Chapter 420: Chapter 374: Indifferent as a Chrysanthemum Mother? The Young Lady Casually Sabotages 14

Ning Fu saw that Su Zhiruan did not respond to her advances. Her throat bobbed twice before she finally decided to speak candidly.

Thus, wiping away her tears, Ning Fu tried to grasp Su Zhiruan’s hand but was directly avoided. Nevertheless, she continued, undeterred, and cried out,

“Ruanruan, being a mistress is a very despicable act, decent people would definitely not do that. All these years of marriage with your father, there was never a third party in our relationship. Just think, if your dad really brought back a woman and made her your stepmom, that would be terrifying. If your father and I were to divorce, then that Ms. Zhu would move into our home. After that, she definitely wouldn’t show you any kindness; stepmothers are no good people!!”

Su Zhiruan listened to her desperate explanation. She calmly took a sip of porridge, wiped her mouth with a tissue, then, smiling, directly looked at Ning Fu and said, “Mom, how can you say that? You, like this, you’re nothing like the person I knew before!”

At this point, Ning Fu furrowed her brows, her look so intense it could have killed a fly. Su Zhiruan had never been like this before. She was always submissive, never arguing much with her. Whatever she said was the law, a very manipulable tool. But now, unexpectedly, Su Zhiruan seemed to approve of her way of handling things, yet refused to be manipulated by her.

“You know, Mom never wanted to get involved in such complex interactions. Maybe your dad was just bewitched by that woman, which is why he acted like this. Please help Mom, I’m not good with words, don’t know what to say. Help Mom talk to Dad, then make that lady leave by herself. After that, our family can live together happily—that would be the best!” Ning Fu forcibly portrayed herself as a mother who was not eloquent, reserved, and took suffering silently. Her eyes brimming with tears, she looked at Su Zhiruan, hoping she would confront the situation and sever the relationship between the mistress and Su Qin.

Su Zhiruan scoffed internally.

Indeed, not eloquent at all, pushing her own child to stir up trouble, annoying others until they were fed up, and then Ning Fu would come out to mediate, playing the good person.

She wasn’t the original person in this role, naturally she wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters, she even deliberately pointed out these matters to Ning Fu herself.

If Ning Fu hadn’t discovered Su Qin’s affair earlier, maybe she would be the one suffering now. Su Zhiruan certainly wouldn’t allow it. In her previous life, she was literally driven to death by Ning Fu.

Seeing that it was almost time for class, Su Zhiruan decided not to entertain her any longer. She boldly stood up, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and looked down at her, “Mom, you’ve always told me not to compete with others, to live a simple life. Why are you asking me to go and argue with someone now? You say you are not that kind of person, are you suggesting I deserve to be a shrew? I’m not that kind of person either, why should I always be the one to step forward? This time you handle it yourself!”

She left the words hanging, and bent down to change her shoes.

“Ruanruan, how have you changed like this! Is there something troubling you? I’ve watched you grow up step by step since you were little!” Ning Fu also stood up, trying to follow her.

“Mom, listen to what you’re saying, what is all this? You’ve always portrayed a non-competitive image in front of others. As a daughter, I naturally absorbed those virtues from you, don’t worry.”

Su Zhiruan chuckled and clapped her hands. She put on her shoes and placed the slippers back in the shoe cabinet, then turned to her with a curved smile, but this smile held little sincerity, “You always told me everyone has a good heart. If so, I also trust Dad. The love between you and Dad over these years must be very deep. We hardly have time to envy your relationship. I believe Dad will resolve these issues and come back.”

She spoke while watching Ning Fu’s face turning green and blue.

Su Zhiruan thought some more, then added a couple more lines, “Moreover, I don’t think Ms. Zhu is a bad person. If we could have a younger brother or sister who shares our blood, that would be nice too!”

After finishing, she knew without looking that Ning Fu’s expression had worsened.

Su Zhiruan silently laughed to herself, then pushed open the door, waved at Ning Fu, and left the house.
