Chapter 227: I’m a Joke to Everyone
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Qianxun had no choice but to greet Lan Qingcheng. She smiled a little. “Hello, Miss Lan.”
“Qingcheng, who is this?” Long Xixing sized up the young woman who was a short distance away.
“This is Miss Su. She is now in Jin Garden…” As Lan Qingcheng said this, her voice became somewhat desolate.
Long Xixing’s immediately narrowed his eyes. ‘So, this is the young woman my third brother had found to bear his child!’
“I still have some matters to attend to, so I will be taking my leave first.”
Su Qianxun was neither servile nor overbearing as she nodded at the two of them and left with the receipt. Her mood became extremely good when she realized that she could take her younger brother home today.
Lan Qingcheng glanced after Lan Qingcheng a few times. Long Xixing furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at her and said, “You don’t have to worry. My third brother will be engaged to you soon. This woman is nothing but a child-bearing tool.”
Lan Qingcheng averted her gaze and smiled bitterly. “Xixing, you don’t have to comfort me. If Jue didn’t like her, he wouldn’t have kept her by his side for so long. Actually, I’m a joke to everyone… They think that I’m nothing but a pitiful person.”
“Stop with the nonsense! Who is this young woman? She doesn’t even deserve to polish your shoes! If my third brother dares to step over the line, I won’t let him off the hook!”
After hearing what he said, Lan Qingcheng immediately smiled like an innocent little girl. “I knew that Xixing always treats me the best. Let’s go, uncle is still waiting for us.”
“Let’s go.” Long Xixing rested his hand lightly on Lan Qingcheng’s back. He turned and looked at where Su Qianxun was walking just now with an extremely murderous gaze.

By the time Su Qianxun returned to the hospital ward, Aunt Zhang had already packed everything. She informed Mu Bai before bringing Aunt Zhang and Su Jiye home.
When they left the hospital, the three of them came across Qiao Bonian and Su Manni who were also leaving. The two of them stared coldly at the pair of siblings before leaving in their car.
Su Qianxun’s expression was even colder. She brought Su Jiye and Aunt Zhang into the car and went back home.
On the way, Su Qianxun stopped to buy groceries in preparation for a reunion meal with her younger brother and Aunt Zhang.
After her apartment was burned down, Long Sijue had merged her house with the one beside it. The house was more spacious now, and Aunt Zhang and Su Jiye had one bedroom each. Otherwise, Aunt Zhang would not have a place to stay.
Even though Su Jiye was injured, it was easy to tell that his mood was quite good. This might be because he was going back home. It seemed like he was not too affected by the incident this time.
Su Qianxun first settled her brother down. Then, she went into the kitchen to help. The two of them were about to make some dumplings.
“I remember that Young Master Jiye loves my celery dumplings the most.” Aunt Zhang had a big smile on her face.
“It’s not just Jiye. Everyone loves to eat your celery dumplings. My older brother and grandfather…” Su Qianxun suddenly went quiet.
“Goodness, the human heart is unfathomable indeed. It’s hard to tell what’s on other people’s mind. Old master was such a good person, but he raised a group of ungrateful scoundrels! I wonder how the young master is doing now.”
Even though more than two years had passed since the incident, Aunt Zhang was still in disbelief over what had happened.
She just did not understand why there were so many cruel and heartless people in the world.
Su Qianxun felt the same. After the Su family fell from grace, she took a very long time to accept what had happened. Even now, she would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and think that everything that happened was just a nightmare.
The young woman’s cell phone rang. She washed her hands to retrieve her cell phone, and saw Long Sijue’s number on the screen. She immediately answered the call.
“Come down immediately!” Long Sijue ordered coldly.
