Chapter 151 - Her ‘Boyfriend’ (2)
The Male Lead's Substitute Wife
Mother Su laughed and said: âWeâre doing good. The air is better here, the water clearer, and all of the vegetables are freshly grown
by the villagers. They taste much better than anything you can find in the city. Your dadâs health wasnât very good before, but his
cough hasnât acted up even once since we moved here. Weâve both retired anyway and the retirement money is enough for us.
Thereâs no reason for us to return to the city, so we decided that weâll just settle down here.â
Su Yaya thought about it. It didnât matter where they lived, as long as their bodies were healthy. âOkay, then. As long as youâre both
happy.â
As Mother Su promised to take care of herself, the joy in her voice was evident. It had been a long time since she last shared such a
normal conversation with Su Yaya. No matter what mistakes Su Yaya had made in the past, she was still her precious daughter. As a
mother, Mother Su couldnât help but worry and hope her daughter was living a good life on her own.
âAll of our relatives know that you have a powerful boyfriend now. They keep calling me one by one, asking me to help their children
find a job and whatnot. Some even said they want you to help them do some investments. Anyways, itâs all a bunch of nonsense. I
told them I havenât been in contact with you, so I donât know when you might visit.â
Mother Su took a breath and continued, âOpportunities will come to those who have talent and deserve them. We should ignore them.
When our family needed help, none of them lent a hand. When you were being slandered on the internet, so many of them were
laughing at us. They think I donât know about it. Despite knowing that those rumors were false, Su Xiaoxuan still came running over to
cause trouble. When your dad heard about the rumors from her, his condition almost relapsed! Now that youâre doing better, sheâs
acting nice and pretending as if nothing happened.â
After hearing what Mother Su had to say, Su Yaya breathed a loud sigh of relief. She smiled and said in a sweet voice, âWhat you did
was right, mom. Donât mind those people.â
âThose are actually just small things. I just want you to live well. If your relatives come looking for you and asking you for help, you
shouldnât promise them anything.â
âMom, I know what to do.â Su Yaya replied. Her relatives were indeed shameless. She was definitely not going to give them a good
time if they ever came looking for her!
âHow is your relationship with your boyfriend?â asked Mother Su.
Su Yaya glanced in the direction of Chen Xiuqi and said: âItâs alright.â
This response made Mother Su feel a little uneasy. She understood her daughterâs temper well and was afraid she would make bad
decisions.
âYaya, love has to be two-sided. Donât be willful. If he treats you well, you should do the same for him. Of course, if he doesnât treat you
well or you realize youâre not compatible with him, then you should break up. Remember, when youâre in a relationship, you shouldnât
deceive each other or be half-hearted.â
Su Yaya was stunned and grumbled a little on the inside. Did Mother Su take some of the rumors on the internet to heart? But it was
entirely impossible. If she ever cheated on Chen Xiuqi, he would be able to destroy her with the flick of a finger. Su Yaya didnât even
dare entertain the idea! After all, she still wanted to live a good, long life!
âMom, donât worry. None of those things will happen,â Su Yaya promised.
Mother Su was relieved but also afraid that her daughter would get angry. She quickly added, ââIâm just mentioning it casually! I
definitely believe in you, so donât be angry, okay?â
From her cautious tone, it was easy to tell how strained their mother-daughter relationship was. Evidently, it was rare for them to
have a normal conversation without her daughter getting angry.
Su Yaya also understood the reason well. The original owner had such a good mother, yet she didnât know how to cherish her. She
said, âMom, Iâm not angry. Iâve grown up and wonât act as I did before. If I do anything wrong, you can tell me directly. Youâre the best,
mom.â
It took a moment for Su Yayaâs mom to understand those words. When it did, Mother Su was ecstatic. âOkay, okay. My daughter has
grown up.â
Su Yaya could feel her joy and gently responded with a âmhm.â
There was some hoarseness in Mother Suâs voice when she asked: âYaya, when are you going to visit? Your dad and I miss you very
much.â
Su Yaya thought about her recent work schedule and said to Mother Su: âI am a little busy right now, so Iâll visit when my workload is
lighter.â
Mother Su happily agreed.
The two continued to converse for a while before hanging up.
Chen Xiuqi came over and asked: âAre you busy at work?â
âHm?â Su Yaya looked up in confusion.
âIf you canât go back because of work, you can bring them here to play,â he said.
The author has something to sayâ¦
Chen Xiuqi: If you canât go back because of work, you can bring them here to play.
Su Yaya raised an eyebrow: Want to meet my parents? Not so fast
