After Mrs. Xu said those words, the face of the person opposite did not fluctuate at all. To be honest, she was really a little surprised.
This girl remained calm from beginning to end. Was it because she thought life couldn’t get any worse and didn’t care, or was she confident enough in herself that she could handle everything?
But it was undeniable that she did not find any weakness in the other party, and even the child she originally thought was not the one.
Was it really the right thing to put such a girl next to her son?
Mrs. Xu began to waver, but she quickly put her worries aside.
Could things get any worse?
She already lost her husband and two children, and now even the only one left may leave at any time. As a mother, she had nothing to lose and nothing to fear.
As long as she could make her only child a little happier, she was willing to give everything.
As for the coveted Sheng family and those immeasurable wealth, who cared?
Anyway, she didn’t care.
She sighed slowly, not the kind of sigh that was meant to show weakness. After this sigh, her straight back seemed to bend slightly.
“Miss Su, if you don’t find it boring, please listen to my story.”
The protagonist of the story was a little boy. His mother gave birth to a little boy seven months prematurely due to some accidents during her pregnancy. When the boy was born, he looked like a kitten and his cry was almost inaudible.
For a healthy person, living was just about breathing through your nose, eating on time, and sleeping on time. But for the boy, such simple things required all his strength.
Since he was born, he had been fighting against his frail body all the time. Only by winning could he survive, so he could not lose.
Because of his poor health, he couldn’t run, cry, or laugh, and even basking in the sun for a while was a burden.
Perhaps it was because of this that, since childhood, he had a strange obsession with living things with strong vitality.
“Once, he nearly fell out of the window of his room because a bird was jumping around outside the window, and the sound woke him up. He wanted to catch the bird to keep him company. Later, the servants at home helped and put the bird in a cage.”
“He was happy for several days. But the bird was not happy. Soon, it stopped jumping and calling. He was very anxious and asked people to find the freshest insects. He tried every way to make the bird happy, but it didn’t work.”
“Birds belong to the blue sky, not the cage. The young boy finally realized this and wanted to let the bird go, but the little creature died the night before.”
Mrs. Xu paused for a while before continuing: “That year, he was six years old, and he told me for the first time that the Sheng family was his birdcage. Even if a bird leaves the cage, the sky still accepts it. But when he left the Sheng family, he couldn’t even see the sun the next day.”
Su Yi listened quietly.
“A few years later, someone gave him a puppy. He never touched the dog once. We all thought that he didn’t like it until I caught him secretly feeding the dog his favorite food. He also gave it a name that was different from the name we gave the dog. It was a name that belonged to him alone.”
“The puppy was very lively and always ran around. He couldn’t take it to play, so he always just stood behind the window and watched. Later, the dog ate something unclean and died. He never kept any pets again.”
Mrs. Xu’s tone was very calm, as if it was a common thing for a dog to eat food that was fatal to its own health in the Sheng family.
Perhaps she had seen and encountered enough similar things.
“That day, I was surprised to know that he invited Yanchuan’s family to dinner because this had never happened before. I especially learned about the situation from Old Gu, and then I knew that Miss Su was also there.”
“Do you think I am the variable?”
Mrs. Xu nodded slowly but firmly, “Yes. And after meeting Miss Su today, I am even more certain of this. Miss Su has an unusually vigorous vitality and energy, which is what Yunzhou yearns for the most.”
“So…”
Su Yi pointed at herself and raised her eyebrows, “Did you ask me to move to Oasis because I can chirp like a bird and jump around like a puppy, which will make Mr. Sheng happy?”
Mrs. Xu laughed at her description. “Miss Su is a living person, how can you compare yourself like that? As long as you agree, you can stay at Oasis as a distinguished guest, or even at the Sheng family. We don’t ask Miss Su to do anything. Just stay as if it were your own home.”
The other party said that she didn’t need to do anything, but she didn’t know which window the sickly Third Young Master Sheng was peeping at her ‘vigorous vitality’.
Although the core inside was a demon wolf, the demon wolf had lost its own memory and had accepted all of Third Young Master Sheng’s memories and experiences. He is now the Third Young Master Sheng.
Thinking of the other party’s pitiful and secretive look, she actually felt that it was so cute?
If Mao Tuan knew this, it would be furious again.
People in the business world said that the Third Young Master Sheng was clear-headed, had outstanding skills, and was even insidious and cunning.
Although he had a sickly body, he was much more capable than his father and grandfather. His way of dealing with enemies and opponents could be described as ruthless and merciless.
During the more than ten years that he had been in charge, the Sheng family had not only not been encroached upon by outsiders, but it had even expanded new industries and squeezed out many competitors.
Such a vicious person, Su Yi said that he was cute?
She has too thick a filter for Big Fluffy!
