"Liu Ma, have you finished making dinner yet?"
At this mont, Old Master Su was extrely hungry. When people get older, even the simplest tasks beco difficult.
Old Master Su still rembered when Mrs. Su was around; she would always remind him to take care of himself and worry about his health.
But now, his current wife seed completely unconcerned about him and had even caused a rift between him and Suzhou.
Thinking of this, Old Master Su suddenly found himself missing Mrs. Su quite a lot. So many years had passed without any news of her, and he wondered how she was faring.
"Stop calling, I sent Liu Ma ho. She hadn’t been back in years, and I thought she should visit her family."
Old Master Su felt bewildered. How did she just leave like that? Usually, Liu Ma would always inform him before doing anything.
Now, not even a single person was left to cook.
Xiao Wan noticed the change in Old Master Su’s expression. The company’s issues hadn’t been settled, and she wasn’t sure how things were being handled on that front.
So, she couldn’t confess to the old man just yet that she initially ca between their relationship to marry him for money—it would all be for nothing in the end.
"Alright, don’t be upset. I didn’t an anything by it. Liu Ma kept telling she hadn’t been ho for years and really wanted to visit. I wouldn’t have sent her off without a reason."
Xiao Wan tried her best to explain.
She knew everything was part of her plan. If Old Master Su truly reconciled with Suzhou, all her efforts over the years would be wasted.
"Fine. Since you let Liu Ma go, and I can’t cook, you’ll have to make dinner tonight. I won’t accept any excuses."
Old Master Su turned and left just as he finished speaking, leaving Xiao Wan alone in the living room.
Great. After so long without cooking, she couldn’t even rember how.
She didn’t even know how to light the stove.
In the end, having no other option, Ms. Su had the butler buy so food from the store to make do. She definitely didn’t want Suzhou to have a decent al.
Actually, Old Master Su understood in his heart why Xiao Wan did all this, and he accepted it.
But all these were choices he made himself, and there was no room for regret.
Regretting now would be pointless.
After those arrangents, Xiao Wan went off to play cards with so wealthy ladies, leaving Old Master Su alone at ho.
He sat in the living room of this large house, perhaps long having lost any sense of warmth it once had.
Ever since he remarried, Suzhou had grown more distant, and even his daughter no longer lived in this villa.
He couldn’t pinpoint when his relationship with his own children beca so unfamiliar.
Old Master Su couldn’t make sense of it.
Now, at his age, without his children by his side, he was left alone in this big house.
The whole day the house remained empty and hollow.
At that mont, Old Master Su decided to take a walk outside by himself.
Just as he was about to leave, Suzhou returned.
As soon as the door opened, Suzhou was there.
"Xiao Zhou, what are you doing here? How are things at the company? I was just about to visit."
"Dad, don’t worry. I’ve pretty much sorted out everything with the company. You needn’t worry. I’ve arranged everything."
Suzhou quickly assured Old Master Su, noticing his father’s noticeable weight loss over the past few days.
He must have been worried sick about the company.
"Good, good. Xiao Zhou, have you eaten?"
Suzhou felt a bit puzzled; sothing seed off tonight. The maid wasn’t ho, nor was that woman.
Did they go out?
"Oh, I haven’t eaten yet. Is there anything to eat? I can just make do. I’m not super hungry, don’t worry."
For quite so ti, the entire burden of the company had rested on Suzhou’s shoulders. Old Master Su knew that entrusting the company to his eldest son was a reliable decision.
"Xiao Zhou, ever since your mother left and I married your Aunt Xiao Wan, you’ve barely spoken to . Will you keep company tonight?"
Old Master Su’s tone was clearly a plea. Indeed, over the years, the communication between him and Suzhou had been very sparse.
This had caused a distancing of their father-son relationship.
If it weren’t for the mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Su, perhaps none of this would have happened.
The family wouldn’t have turned out this way.
"Alright, wherever you say, we’ll go to eat. I don’t have anything else planned tonight, so I’ll accompany you."
Saying this, Suzhou put on his shoes and left.
The car drove along the road, a place not often frequented.
Suzhou rembered this place from his childhood, where his mother often brought him, and where he celebrated his eighth birthday.
Wasn’t this the place his mother often visited when she was alive?
"Dad, why did you bring here? Do you miss Mom?"
Suzhou knew this wasn’t the right mont to ask, but the place held so many cherished mories that had faded away like bubbles.
"Yes, I don’t know where your mom has been all these years. I wonder if the man she went with is treating her well." He sighed deeply.
At first, Old Master Su couldn’t believe it was Mrs. Su. But when he received the video via email, he had no choice but to believe.
In a fit of anger, he married Xiao Wan.
He had no feelings for Xiao Wan initially; it was simply to spite Mrs. Su.
But he hadn’t expected her to vanish from his life completely, without a trace.
He had even considered whether Mrs. Su had run off with that man, leaving the city behind.
Old Master Su and Suzhou talked for a long ti. Even Suzhou couldn’t realize how much ti had ravaged the once-dominant figure in the business world.
"Dad, I actually want to say, you misunderstood Mom. She didn’t do anything to betray you. It’s all that woman’s fabrication. It’s not true."
Old Master Su’s hands shook. He never imagined he could be deceived by a woman one day.
What was he to do in the future?
Thinking of this, Suzhou noticed a slight change in his father’s expression. He knew it was because of that woman, who caused the family to tear apart.
So many years had gone by, and she never once showed any concern for this family.
"Xiao Zhou, could it be you’re mistaken about your Aunt? She’s not that kind of person. Do you have so misunderstanding about her?"
Old Master Su spoke earnestly. It was difficult for him, torn between his son and his wife.
