104: Chapter 104: Both Vicious and Cowardly 104: Chapter 104: Both Vicious and Cowardly Zhu Xinyan had never felt such panic before, unable to remember the lengthy monologues and the mocking she had prepared before coming here.

She was at a loss for words for a moment.

She wished she could leave immediately, wished she had never come!

After struggling for quite some time, she said in a low voice, “Why not me…

I’ve already given him a daughter.”

As soon as she said this, she was already defeated.

As if no matter how healthy, young, or beautiful she was,

she couldn’t compare in the slightest to the frail and wan woman lying in the sickbed before her.

Jiang Xiaoran’s name was simply Zhu Xinyan’s lifelong nightmare.

Jiang Xiaoran was Su Zhe’s mother’s name, lying on the hospital bed, her presence undiminished.

She smiled faintly, looking at Zhu Xinyan’s shivering and timidity as if enjoying a pleasing landscape.

After watching for a good while, Jiang Xiaoran finally said, “I can let you enter the Su Family’s door, I can make Su Yukan marry you.

Of course, that’s if you’re obedient enough.”

Zhu Xinyan felt as if she was hearing hallucinations, finding it hard to believe.

But Jiang Xiaoran did not seem like someone who would lie; Zhu Xinyan was like a traveler in the desert who had spotted an oasis.

As if she had seen the last hope.

Jiang Xiaoran had her conditions.

She lay there on the hospital bed, strategizing with ease, smiling slightly, as casual as a breeze, handling matters with effortless grace.

She gave Zhu Xinyan a choice to consider.

“Get yourself sterilized, and I will let Su Yukan marry you.”

Looking back, Zhu Xinyan felt as if she had been bewitched, as though she had been ensnared by that terrifying woman.

She spoke so calmly and gently, “Su Yukan will know of your concession and sacrifice, and he will treat you well afterward.

Both you and your daughter will be able to enter the Su Family’s door; your daughter will no longer be an illegitimate child, and you will both have a good life.

Think about it…”

“I just don’t want my son to have too many competitors, and as long as you are kind enough to my son, Su Yukan will treat you well; my son is also a person of deep emotions and loyalty.”

Zhu Xinyan felt as if she had been bewitched, as if a spell had been cast on her.

She got lost in the illusion Jiang Xiaoran had offered; indeed, she could become the legitimate Mrs.

Su, and her daughter could become the young lady of the Su Family, not the illegitimate daughter of a mistress.

In a daze, she agreed, and indeed, under Jiang Xiaoran’s arrangement, underwent an irreversible sterilization surgery.

At first, Zhu Xinyan really believed Jiang Xiaoran’s words were right, for after she had the surgery, Su Yukan was so tender towards her, feeling that she had made a great sacrifice, treating her with gentle care, even promising that after his wife passed away and when the time was right, he would marry her.

Zhu Xinyan truly thought that Jiang Xiaoran was looking out for her good.

What Zhu Xinyan did not know was that when Jiang Xiaoran confronted Su Yukan about knowing of Zhu Xinyan and Su Jiao’s existence, Su Yukan felt so guilty towards his gravely ill wife, and when he learned that his wife had agreed to his marrying Zhu Xinyan later, granting the illegitimate daughter legitimate status, he was as grateful as he was remorseful.

He even had no objections or resistance to his wife’s request for Zhu Xinyan’s sterilization.

Upon seeing his wife’s illness-marred face and hearing her low voice saying, “I am selfish too, that’s why I had her undergo the surgery.

I’m near death, but I must plan for Zhe.

Zhe has been frail since childhood, and he’s my only son; I have to strategize for him.

I can let her enter the family, but I can’t allow her to keep bearing children indefinitely, isolating my son.”

Su Yukan swore to heaven that he would have no other sons in this life, only Su Zhe as his own flesh and blood.

Everything would be left for Su Zhe.

Everything had been well planned, every provision for his son had been made in advance.

Then, Jiang Xiaoran passed away.

Overwhelmed with grief, Su Yukan did not immediately marry Zhu Xinyan, even though there wasn’t much of a wedding when he did—simply a marriage certificate was obtained.

At the time, Zhu Xinyan didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, after all, Jiang Xiaoran had just died.

But so many years had passed since then, and even the most beguiling distractions were bound to fade.

Zhu Xinyan gradually realized something was amiss.

The more she thought about the past, the icier she felt, yet it was too late to turn back—she would never be able to give Su Yukan another son…

She remembered the woman who had lain sick in bed, who would join Su Yukan and Zhe annually to visit Jiang Xiaoran’s grave.

She recalled staring at the lavish tomb, the peaceful and gentle smile on the woman’s face on the gravestone.

Zhu Xinyan felt a bone-chilling cold envelop her body, and every smile of the woman she recalled made her shiver.

Now, seeing such a smile on Su Zhe, a smile so cool and indifferent, as if calculating from behind a curtain,

just for an instant, it seemed to overlap with that same smile she had seen on the face of the woman on the sickbed.

Instantly, Zhu Xinyan found she couldn’t speak, cold sweat soaked her back, and she felt an icy chill all over.

Su Zhe just looked at her calmly, smiling faintly.

Even his voice was placid, yet it felt as cold as if it came from an icy cave.

“Zhu Xinyan, I’ve always known what kind of thing you are,” Su Zhe said coldly.

Zhu Xinyan was stunned, “You…”

Su Yukan frowned, “After all, she is your elder.”

Su Zhe continued, “I have always been aware that you intruded into my parent’s marriage even before my mother died.

I always knew what kind of thing you are.

I was there the first time you sought out my mother to flaunt your power.

What you truly are, I saw it clearly.”

“Both vile and cowardly.” Su Zhe’s gaze drifted off, as if recalling some distant memory, seemingly finding it somewhat amusing, he mocked with a curl of his lip, “Cowardly and reactionary, that’s exactly what you are.”

Su Zhe had never told anyone.

When his father’s mistress had come to the hospital to confront his mother, he was there, hiding in the bathroom of his mother’s hospital room.

He heard every word exchanged between his mother and the mistress, clear as day.

Had he not heard and seen it with his own eyes, Su Zhe would never have known how strong and how powerful a woman with such a normally gentle and compliant attitude could be, even as a mother.

Even bedridden with illness, even in pain and reliant on pain relief injections every day.

Yet she remained strong, incredibly so.

Su Zhe remembered that after a verbal clash with his mother, Zhu Xinyan decided to ‘consider it’ and left first.

His mother weakly called him over, still smiling so gently, “Zhe, come here.

Come to Mom.”

At that time, he was still just a teenager, frail from childhood, who had managed to survive through serious illness.

But in front of his mother, he remained a child who could act spoilt and feel aggrieved.

He cried and threw himself into his mother’s embrace.

His mother gently stroked the back of his head, her voice as tender as a warm flowing stream, soothing, “Zhe, be good, don’t cry, don’t be afraid, Mom will take care of everything, prepare everything.

You just need to grow up well.”
