CHAPTER 851: CHAPTER 855: BORN REBELLIOUS (PART 5)

"No, you must go," Grandma Su said with rare assertiveness.

In the past, because of the rebellious nature of the original body, Grandma Su would always speak to her in a gentle tone, afraid she might rebel.

But today, she spoke firmly, allowing no rebuttal, "Your mother hasn’t seen you in so many years, she must really miss you."

Ultimately, she did all this for her daughter.

Grandma Su didn’t want to see the two of them, clearly mother and daughter, act like strangers.

Even though it’s a bit late, as long as Su Ying comes around, the mother-daughter relationship can still be repaired.

Grandma Su said, "You should stay with your mother for a while, she will find a good school for you."

After speaking, Grandma Su intended to head upstairs.

But behind her came Su Li’s unyielding voice, "I said, I’m not going."

"If you don’t go, then don’t come back here in the future either."

Already feeling down for not seeing her daughter, Grandma Su’s tone hardened at Su Li’s rebuttal, "After all, you are already eighteen years old."

Su Li raised her eyelids and said, "Grandma, in your heart, am I as important as Su Ying?"

Grandma Su paused without responding, silently continuing up the stairs, answering Su Li’s question with action.

Qiao Zhixian cautiously interjected, "You don’t have to worry, Madam and the young lady are easy to get along with."

Indeed, they are nice people, but just not nice to her.

Su Li indifferently tilted her head and nestled back into the soft sofa. Her black, wavy hair spread out like seaweed over the entire surface of the sofa.

Qiao Zhixiao sneaked a glance in Su Li’s direction, then nervously shifted his gaze, clutching his wildly beating heart.

He was clear he hadn’t fallen for Madam’s eldest daughter, it was just her mesmerizing looks that were enchanting.

Some people don’t need to do anything; just lying there, they become a beacon, attracting others like moths to a flame.

Though he considered himself a straight man with a distaste for heavy makeup on girls, when his eyes met the black-red soft lips of Madam’s eldest daughter, his whole body heated up, and he quickly looked away.

Qiao Zhixian couldn’t help but think that the young lady also inherited the fine genes from Sir and Madam.

Previously, everyone in the circle praised Miss Cheng for her beauty, but compared to the one before him, there was an immediate dullness, like the contrast between a richly colored oil painting and light ink wash.

Qiao Zhixian felt that if this person actually returned, she was likely to stir up a chaotic scene.

At the same time, he felt that perhaps it was best if she didn’t return to the capital with him.

Soon, Qiao Zhixian reined in his thoughts, feeling quite annoyed.

His professional integrity, which he prided himself on, had unwittingly strayed.

Su Li was indifferent about watching the ever-changing expressions of the assistant across from her.

Soon, Grandma Su’s footsteps could be heard coming down.

She was dragging a large suitcase, signaling for Assistant Qiao to help.

Su Li didn’t get up. She confirmed again, "Grandma, do you really have to make me go to Su Ying?"

"Even if I won’t have a good time there, do you still insist on sending me?"

Grandma Su’s eyes briefly flickered with hesitation, but soon she resolutely turned her head, with a tinge of reproach, "What nonsense are you talking about? She is your biological mother, how can she treat you poorly?"

But Su Li wouldn’t give up, pressing on relentlessly, "For nearly eighteen years, I only saw her a few times when I was very young, and now I’ve forgotten what she looks like."

"She probably doesn’t want to see me either. After so many years without contact, she suddenly says she wants me to move in with her. Do you really believe it’s out of a desire to repair our mother-daughter bond?"

"For all we know, someone in the Cheng Family might be seriously ill, urgently needing a heart, a lung, a kidney... organs that can’t be matched just by buying from strangers."

Grandma Su interrupted Su Li angrily, "That’s getting more and more ridiculous."

"Your mother isn’t like that. I understand what kind of person I raised."

After speaking so long, Su Li felt a bit tired, resuming her lazy demeanor, dragging her voice out playfully, "It seems that in your heart, Grandma, I’m not as good as Su Ying, huh...."

It seemed like a complaint, yet also a plea, only Su Li knew the seriousness in her tone.

-------------

Even though Su Ying didn’t come, Grandma Su still personally prepared a big table of dishes.

Qiao Zhixian and the driver were also invited to the table, as a farewell for her granddaughter.

Despite wanting to hurriedly pack Su Li off to her daughter, the reality of parting from the granddaughter who had been with her for so long brought a sadness to Grandma Su’s heart.

Raising a kitten or puppy over time would create a bond, let alone a living person who had been with her for years.

During this time, Qiao Zhixian received a phone call from Mrs. Cheng, Su Ying.

He reported on the progress, saying they would depart after dinner according to plan, and if possible, arrive in the capital by early morning.

While they were talking, Grandma Su listened intently, ears perked.

She found solace in hearing her daughter’s voice through the phone even if she couldn’t see her in person.

Quietly waiting for Assistant Qiao to finish the call, Grandma Su then said, "Time to eat."

At that moment, she looked around but didn’t see any sign of Su Li.

Calling upstairs elicited no response.

Grandma Su had a sinking feeling in her heart, a bad premonition.

"Xiao Qiao, could you check if Su Li’s suitcase is still there?"

-------------

Su Li, who had already successfully taken a bus leaving the small town, leaned on the window, lazily watching the scenery fly by with no disturbance in her heart.

Although she left the small town, Su Li didn’t have a destination in mind.

She had left a letter at Grandma Su’s place, only stating that now she was grown and should go out to be independent.

As for fulfilling familial duties, when Grandma needed her, she would naturally rise to the occasion. Just now, though, she feared Grandma Su had grown to dislike her immensely, so better to stay out of sight.

Just as Su Li expected, after searching all over and not finding Su Li, with her suitcase gone too, the result was clear.

When Grandma Su returned to her granddaughter’s bedroom again, she found a small note pressed under a stationery box on the corner of the desk.

Grandma Su’s temples throbbed with anger, and after reading it, she was furious, beside herself with rage.

The descendants of the Su Family all seemed to be inherently rebellious; her daughter was like this, and so was her granddaughter.
