Chapter 12 (2/2)

Su Ye had a reason to dislike Liu Hui and her daughter while being inclined to treating Tao well. All her life, she had looked down upon those who become mistresses. Although Qian Churui was still a child and was not at fault but no matter what, she still liked Tao more. Tao was beautiful and smart.

Su Ye knocked several times on the door and called out, “Tao, it’s me, I’ve brought you some fruits.”

The door flung opened. Qian Tao accepted the fruits and said, “Aunty, you don’t have to trouble yourself to bring the fruits up to me, you can just let the maids do it next time.”

“No problem,” Su Ye answered and went into her room, “It’s not fun downstairs so I came up to chat with you.”

“Aunty, please have a seat, I’ll get you a hot drink.”

Seeing her busy with work, Su Ye sat aside and the longer she looked at Tao, the more she liked her. She kept asking herself, is my son blind? She’s such a good girl and he didn’t want her but deliberately wanted Qian Churui.

“Thank you, Tao. You are such an obedient and filial girl. Which man is fortunate enough to marry you in future?”

Qian Tao was speechless for a while and then burst out laughing, “No, no, Aunty, I don’t deserve such compliment. Actually, I’m not that outstanding. I have lots of weaknesses and am not as good as what you think.”

“Who says that? In my eyes, you are the best.”

Su Ye spent some time in Tao’s room and finally came to the main topic. The atmosphere turned dreary.

“Tao, let me ask you something. What happened between you and Yuanhang? What kind of problems did you face? Tell me. If it’s Yuanhang’s fault, I’ll scold him on your behalf.”

“Mother,” Xiao Yuanhang stood there for a while and walked quickly up to Tao’s room. When he saw Qian Tao, his tone of voice changed, “Qian Tao! What did you tell my mom?”
