Chapter 68 -68: The Ordinary Girl Defeated by Vanity (18)

Su Mo’s cheeks flushed red from Cheng Bo’s gaze.

Her head hung low, the light of jealousy in her eyes almost taking solid form.

Why did such an outstanding man have to be enamored with her sister…

“I… have you checked Weibo? My sister…”

Cheng Bo’s smile stiffened for a moment, then quickly resumed its breadth, “I saw it…”

“I’m afraid… I only have one sister, I worry she’ll be led astray. I’ve heard that circle is quite messy…”

“She never tells me anything…”

Su Mo performed the role of a worried and good older sister perfectly in front of Cheng Bo.

To those unaware, they might even think her sister was a capricious and selfish person.

Even though Cheng Bo felt something was off when he heard this, he wouldn’t say it.

His gaze softened further, and he gently said to Su Mo, “You are a good sister…”

As Cheng Bo spoke, his tone suddenly changed, “Is there a misunderstanding between you and your sister?”

He still wanted to ask Su Li, his niece, for help in the future. If their relationship was strained, that would be problematic…

Su Mo, who was desperately maintaining her facade of gentleness, nearly lost it. She truly wanted to jump up and shout: Who wants to have a good relationship with her?

“Eh… my sister…”

A drawn-out sigh, ambiguous, simply allowing one’s mind to wander.

“It’s okay, I’ll talk to her. Whatever misunderstandings you have can be resolved. Even though you’re breaking bones, the sinews are still connected; you are directly-related sisters, how could there be so many conflicts…”

“She will understand that you have her best interests at heart.”

Cheng Bo patted his chest, eager to take action.

“No, there’s no need…” Su Mo smiled awkwardly, waving her hands repeatedly.

But Cheng Bo acted as if he didn’t understand, “It’s fine, such a small matter, don’t worry about it.”

In the end, Su Mo didn’t quite know how it happened, but somehow she ended up being dragged by Cheng Bo to Jing University.

By chance, they ran into Su Li returning from outside right at the school’s gate.

“It’s you guys… that’s nice, you two make a good match.”

Su Mo felt a rush of happiness inside, but outwardly she said, “No, that’s not it, sister, you’ve misunderstood.”

Cheng Bo was extremely uncomfortable, unable to relax under Su Li’s knowing gaze, but he did not offer any explanation for Su Li’s comment.

“Is there something you wanted?” Su Li asked while continuing to walk, sidestepping the obstructing pair and heading into the campus.

“We…”

“Sister, you’re still young, people out there can be devious. Even if you long for a better life, don’t lose yourself. It’s best to focus on studying diligently, and let other things go, as they are all illusory,” Su Mo suddenly shouted.

Su Li stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Su Mo with a smirk: “Did you post that thread on the forum?”

“What, what nonsense are you talking about?” Su Mo’s unnatural complexion spoke volumes.

Su Li had just guessed and casually thrown it out to shake her up; she hadn’t expected it really was her.

Su Mo must harbor very deep hatred for herself.

Cheng Bo, standing nearby, seemed to grasp some underlying meaning and took a few steps back, choosing not to get involved in the sisters’ affairs.

Su Li only made this remark, then she flicked her hair, laughed casually a few times, and walked away.

It seemed as if her previous words were merely a perfunctory inquiry, indifferent to whatever the answer might be, just as one might comment on how nice the weather was today.

Meaningless…

When Su Li returned to her dorm, she placed her phone on the table, then turned on her computer. Munching on an apple, she browsed the Weibo headlines.

Today’s headlines were still dominated by her.

She admired her own beautiful pictures online, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Just then, her phone screen lit up—a call from home had come through.

Su Li smiled to herself, thinking how quick this all was.

On the phone, Ma Li’s voice was as loud and impatient as ever.

She commanded, “You buy a ticket and come back tomorrow…”

Su Li: “Mom, I have classes tomorrow.”

Ma Li: “What classes? Hurry up and come back, you’re making a fool of yourself.”

Listening to these words, Su Li suddenly laughed out loud: “Mom, what have I done that you think is so embarrassing?”

When Ma Li heard Su Li still had the nerve to ask, her voice rose a few notches: “You still have the face to ask…”

“It was you who said I was embarrassing, so of course, I have to ask clearly…”

“We haven’t been in touch for so long, and you start off by saying I’m a disgrace, I’m really feeling wronged.”

Ma Li: “You… you’ve got some nerve now, haven’t you? My words don’t matter to you anymore, is that it?”

“If you don’t come back tomorrow, both your father and I will come straight to your teacher. I want to see exactly what they’re teaching, did they teach you not to listen to your parents?”

Su Li was nonchalant: “Then I have to go to Su Mo’s school and ask who taught her to slander and frame people.”

On the other end of the phone, there was a sudden silence before Ma Li’s exasperated voice came through: “That’s your older sister…”

“Am I not your own daughter?”

As soon as Su Li’s words fell, the sound of dishes being overturned came through the phone.

“It seems I’m really not your own daughter after all, no wonder you treat me so badly.”

“Don’t you feel guilty?”

Su Li’s tone turned icy.

“Click…” The phone was hung up.

Su Li raised her eyebrows and let out a cold laugh.

Ever since she had received her manuscript fees and had some extra money, Su Li had hired someone to start investigating the past.

There had been no results until recently when she received an endorsement fee and increased the intensity of the investigation.

She hired a professional private detective to check from the birth hospital, household registration, and quietly make inquiries all around.

In the end, she had indeed found something.

The investigation report that had just arrived was still laid out on the desk.

Ma Li and Su Sheng were not her biological parents; to be accurate, Su Li should call them Aunt and Uncle.

She was the daughter of Ma Li’s younger sister.

The investigation report even included the most detailed information—after all, anything that had happened would inevitably leave traces.

Ma Li and her sister had never gotten along well, always at odds with each other since childhood.

Actually, saying they were at odds wasn’t precise; it was more a one-sided provocation from Ma Li, while the other side always brushed it off with a smile.

Ma Li detested her sister’s attitude, yet everyone around, including their own parents, favored her.

They were always so partial.

And that relationship came to an abrupt end when her sister chose to go to a college in another city.

Ma Li thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, no longer having a shadow over her like a mountain.

But who would have expected…

Ma Li’s sister returned from college pregnant with Su Li, without completing her degree. She died in childbirth due to complications, leaving behind a bank card with a deposit of two million yuan.

No one knew why a college girl had so much money.

At the plea of their parents and for the sake of the money, Ma Li still adopted Su Li.

Then, they bought a house, moved, and introduced Su Li as their younger daughter to everyone.

And with the death of the parents, the truth that Su Li was not their biological daughter was known to no one.
