Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Maybe She’s Afraid of Dad
“My elder sister has been in Guang City for a few days, and I want to know what kinds of food they have there so I can ask her to bring some back for me,” Xi Wanfen said. “She only brings things for our parents and never for me unless I remind her.”
Su Meixi looked at Xi Wanfen and then laughed, “You remind me a lot of my sister-in-law, always thinking about food.”
“Sister Su’s sister-in-law? Then… she must be over thirty, right? Are you saying I’m mature?”
Su Meixi couldn’t help but laugh, “To be precise, she’s a younger sister-in-law and might be a few years older than you. Let me show you her picture.”
But then she felt showing a photo wouldn’t be as clear since Zhou Yuan liked to use beauty filters in her posts that covered up her cuteness. So, she simply decided to make a video call.
Zhou Yuan was free as well, and when she saw Su Meixi’s call, she answered immediately.
Seeing another young girl next to Su Meixi, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Su, who’s the young girl next to you? Why does she look so much like you?”
“Do you think?” Su Meixi asked.
“Yes, don’t you think so? Especially the eyebrows and eyes, they’re both so spirited. If you didn’t tell me otherwise, I would have thought she was your real sister.”
Su Meixi laughed, “You’re joking.”
Xi Wanfen was also curious about Zhou Yuan, “Sister Su’s sister-in-law is really young. Why did she marry so early? Is being married fun?”
Zhou Yuan, sipping her bubble tea, replied, “That depends if you have someone you like. But I’m totally into romance, don’t follow my example.”
Su Meixi frowned, “You’re pregnant, don’t drink so much bubble tea, be careful or your baby won’t sleep later.”
“Is that true? I’ve heard from others that when you’re pregnant, you should eat whatever you crave because after delivery you won’t be able to, with all the postpartum care and breastfeeding.”
Though both Su Meixi and Xi Wanfen studied medicine, they had never been pregnant or had children, so they were naturally curious and began asking all sorts of questions.
The three women found themselves discussing childbirth over the phone.
…
Guang City.
Xi Wanlin sat in a car.
She had rented the car, and it was parked in front of the residential area where Su Qiang lived.
She had a photo of Su Qiang but wanted to see him in person again.
She had been watching for two days and had seen Su Qiang twice, once when he was hurrying to work, catching a ride with a colleague, which she didn’t get a clear view, and the second time when he was out for a walk with his daughter.
This time she got a clearer look; Su Qiang was just an ordinary middle-aged man with hair thinning on top, wearing a shirt tucked into his suit pants, paired with ordinary leather shoes. The material of his clothes was common, and such a man would disappear into the crowd on the street in no time.
Yet, Su Qiang’s nose was a hook nose, just like hers.
And his small eyes were similar to hers as well.
People had always told her she was beautifully exotic, likening her to models working overseas—small eyes, hook nose, thick lips.
Hearing it so often, she had come to see herself as very beautiful.
But it wasn’t until she met Su Meixi that she understood what a traditional Eastern beauty looked like.
As a child, she had asked her mother why her eyes were so small. Li Shirui had said she might have inherited them from her grandmother, whose eyes were small, and her nose probably came from her maternal grandfather.
Li Shirui had never once doubted that she wasn’t her own child.
And this disturbed Xi Wanlin a lot.
…
Xi Wanlin further observed the residential area where Su Qiang lived, which was neither new nor old, but having a house like that in Guang City indicated he was more capable than most.
However, compared to Xi Huarong, they were worlds apart.
Xi Wanlin got out of the car and headed in Su Qiang’s direction.
She saw Su Qiang and his daughter Su Xiaowan entering the nearest KFC, and she quickly followed.
The place was crowded, and Su Qiang didn’t notice he was being followed.
He found a spot to sit down, then ordered via his phone, and Xi Wanlin also sat nearby.
“Daddy, I want fries and ice cream,” Su Xiaowan said.
“Didn’t you just say you only wanted ice cream?”
“Add some fries too,” Su Xiaowan cooed.
“You just had dinner and now you want fries, aren’t you afraid of getting fat?”
“Do I look fat? I’m really skinny now, I run every day at school, it all gets digested quickly.”
“Alright, alright, if you want to eat, I’ll buy it for you,” Su Qiang said.
Xi Wanlin scoffed contemptuously.
Just a portion of fries, not worth much money, but Su Xiaowan seemed filled with happiness. Indeed, the threshold for happiness is lower for the poor.
She too used to pester Li Shirui to buy her fries and ice cream when she was young.
As a child, she lived with her mother in her grandmother’s village and hadn’t seen her father for a long time; it seemed he came back suddenly, so she never had the chance to act spoiled in front of him.
Also, because she lived in the village in her childhood, that’s why when she later moved to the city, she developed a strong desire for material things, especially as she came into contact with many people who pleased her, she increasingly felt the benefits that money and power brought.
She didn’t want to live like an ordinary person anymore.
“Daddy, that big sister has been watching you,” Su Xiaowan pointed at Xi Wanlin.
Xi Wanlin had just been daydreaming, and hearing Su Xiaowan’s words, she then came back to reality, meeting Su Qiang’s gaze.
The moment Su Qiang saw Xi Wanlin, he was startled.
There was a shock that came from deep within his heart.
Was it her?
Xi Wanlin seemed to also feel Su Qiang’s astonishment; perhaps this was the power of blood ties.
He must have felt something.
She knew she couldn’t stay here any longer, and so she quickly grabbed her bag and hurried off.
“Daddy, what happened to the big sister?” Su Xiaowan asked. “She didn’t even order anything, why did she run off?”
Su Qiang stammered for a while before he managed, “I don’t know, maybe… she was afraid of daddy.”
“Daddy, you don’t look scary, why would she be afraid of you?”
“It’s hard to say, let’s not talk about this anymore; let’s eat together.”
…
That day, Su Qiang called Su Meixi to ask how she was doing.
Su Meixi felt repulsed upon receiving Su Qiang’s call. If he really cared, he should have come to visit, not just inquire over the phone, which was meaningless.
He wouldn’t even give a red envelope or buy anything; this care was even less than that of the sisters in the compound.
“Father, I’m fine,” Su Meixi said.
“Have you met any new friends recently? Or has someone been around you?”

“No.” Even if there were, Su Meixi wouldn’t tell him, this traitor, attempting to probe into the Military District.
“That’s good, I’m really afraid of you getting hurt again,” Su Qiang feigned concern.
“Dad, I have something cooking, I can’t talk anymore.”
“Okay, then rest early; I will call you again in a few days.”
Su Meixi really wanted to say not to bother, but thought better of it. She wanted to see what he was up to.
…
Xi Wanlin returned from Guang City, bringing with her a lot of specialty goods.
