Xu Lang discovered that something was wrong with Lu Lan.

His heart sank as well.

Could it be that Susu encountered an accident?

"I don't know you. We have nothing to talk about. I'm leaving now."

Lu Lan put the photo down in a hurry and pretended to get up and leave.

But Xu Lang was faster. He grabbed her arm and asked her to give him some more time. He just wanted to know about Su Su's situation and didn't want to do anything.

"Auntie, just tell me, is Su Su still with Ling Jinyan?"

"She told me everything that happened after she returned home."

"She had agreed with me to go abroad together some time ago, but she disappeared. I want to know if she has looked for you?"

Xu Lang was full of worries, and the ups and downs of emotions kept tormenting him.

He didn't know how things turned out like this. They were fine when they were abroad. Why did everything change after she returned home without telling him?

He and she never had the chance to meet again, let alone sit down and have a good talk.

He couldn't find her.

Lu Lan remained silent.

She pulled the corners of her mouth weakly, revealing a sad look.

She felt sorry for Susu.

She ruined her life.

But now that things have come to this, there is no use regretting it.

Susu did come back and brought Dongdong with her.

She even wondered if Susu was taking care of the child.

The child depended on her, and his behavior and speech had improved, and maybe it was all thanks to her.

She is the child's biological aunt, and no one is more suitable than her to take care of Ling Dong.

She is by the child's side, and the little one can be protected.

But her identity...

If Ling Jinyan got married, she would become the most disgraceful person who would be hated by everyone.

Lu Lan simply discarded the idea that Yin Susu might be Ling Jinyan's marriage partner. She thought it was impossible and automatically put herself in the shoes of a third party.

"I don't know, you got the wrong person!"

She waved his hand away, held the bag tightly in her hand, and was determined to leave.

Xu Lang was almost driven crazy by the torture.

It was obvious that the woman in front of him was Susu's mother, but she denied it flatly.

He wouldn't be wrong unless she was hiding something.

But she must be hiding something from herself!

She was so cruel, forcing Susu to do things she didn't want to do and abruptly separating the two of them.

"I can't be wrong. You are Su Su's mother. You also have another daughter named Yin Qi, who is Su Su's sister, but she has passed away now."

He was collecting information about Lu Lan, not for any other reason than to confirm her identity so that she would not be able to find an excuse to evade him.

"You are so cruel!"

"What kind of mother are you if you sacrifice your youngest daughter's happiness for your eldest daughter's child?"

Xu Lang's face flushed red, and he vented all the anger in his heart without thinking.

She is the culprit.

If she hadn't gotten involved, why would things have turned out like this?

The shame, embarrassment and resistance of being exposed all flooded into Lu Lan's heart at once.

Her face was livid, and she looked at Xu Lang with unfriendly and resisting eyes.

She wouldn't say a word to him again.

In the end, she successfully left without looking back.

She walked with a weak step and staggered forward. The journey that should have taken her ten minutes to get home took her half an hour.

Yin Yan was on vacation and was sulking alone. When he saw Lu Lan coming back and looking unwell, he chased her and asked her about it.

"Lan, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing! I just got scolded by a young guy on the road."

Lu Lan avoided his gaze, thinking about how to hide it.

"Is there still this?"

"Scold you for no reason?"

"They are probably mentally ill. They are pitiful. Next time you go out, take it easy and stay away from such people."

Yin Yan put his hands behind his back, puffed his beard and glared, and his mood was not much better.

"What happened to you again?"

Seeing that his condition seemed not right, Lu Lando asked.

"Ask your good daughter."

"Ask her what good things she has done."

daughter?

Now that Yin Qi is gone, Yin Susu becomes their only child.

What happened to Susu?

"What's wrong?"

"Has Susu been here?"

As she spoke, Lu Lan was about to stand up and looked around the house excitedly to see where Yin Susu was.

"What are you looking for?"

"Where has she been?"

"I was mad at her for blocking my WeChat and phone number."

"She's acting very arrogant now. I just asked her when she would bring the stuff back. Not only did she not reply, but she also blocked me. I'm waiting for her to apologize. I won't add her again."

Yin Yan was very angry, his face was full of dark clouds.

"Why are you disturbing the child?"

"Dongdong, haven't you seen it?"

"What else do you want to see?"

Lu Lan strongly disagreed with his approach.

I never expected that he was angry about this. Why didn't he tell her?

"After one meal, I have to eat a second one."

"I saw the child once, so what's wrong with seeing him again?"

"Dongdong is so well behaved and looks smart. He must have inherited Qiqi's style. His cleverness is so endearing."

Yin Yan has never been involved in other people's affairs and has devoted all his energy to academics.

When Yin Susu was forced to work at Haoyue, he only participated for a while and was almost unaware of everything that happened afterwards.

He is a typical hands-off boss. He fulfilled his responsibilities to Yin Qi, but thought that everything was right for Yin Susu.

"How can you see a child whenever you want?"

"That's someone else's child. We haven't even raised him for a day. If you insist on seeing him, how will he look at us?"

Lu Lan still kept the fact that something was wrong with Ling Dong a secret.

She couldn't accept her child's abnormality from the bottom of her heart.

How could her healthy daughter give birth to an autistic son?

The child's symptoms were alleviated, but with more communication and contact, some problems could still be seen.

Yin Yan had no idea that the child had this disease, and he had little contact with him and only met him once. How could he tell that something was wrong?

"We haven't raised him for a day? That's my fault?"

"If you hadn't lied to me, would you have let the child be taken away?"

"We can't raise Qiqi's child anymore?"

When Yin Yan heard this, he was furious and pushed the responsibility onto Lu Lan.

He has already reached the age where he can enjoy the company of his grandchildren, but he is very eager to have a ready-made grandson whom he cannot see.

How can just meeting once be enough?

"You should be glad we didn't raise one. We couldn't have."

Lu Lan did not comment and muttered something quietly.

If they had raised Ling Dong, would they be able to live such a comfortable and leisurely life now?

They would be exhausted, taking him to hospitals big and small for rehabilitation treatment.

Even if there is no autism, don't they know how much financial and material resources it takes to take care of a child?

To put it bluntly but honestly, Yin Qi is also the one who creates trouble for this family.

Without her, the family has saved a lot of trouble, but I still worry about her and feel bad.

At this time, Lu Lan had not yet realized that she had let go of a lot of her eldest daughter.

She was immersed in her own world and started to make comparisons, only to find that children like Yin Susu were the most valuable. She didn't have to worry about her studies since childhood, nor did she need to worry about going astray or falling in love early. All the honors, big and small, in the family were brought by her, and she helped them so much financially.

She doesn't owe Yin Qi anything, she owes the child Susu!

"What did you say?"

"Why can't we raise it?"

"How could the two of us not be able to take care of a child? What could we lack, materially and spiritually?"

It was easy for Yin Yan to talk, but Lu Lan had seen through it long ago. She said, "How much energy have you spent on raising your two daughters?" and she completely blocked him.

He was very devoted to Yin Qi when she was a child, because she had been sick and he had to save her with great difficulty. After Yin Qi grew up, he showed less care and love to her because his career also developed and he had no time to take care of his family.

The energy spent on raising Yin Susu can basically be ignored.

"Don't contact the child anymore, Susu, I'll do the contacting."

Lu Lan changed the subject and agreed to this with a guilty conscience.

She had already discovered that her WeChat account had been blocked by Susu, but her phone was still usable. However, she would have to try to find out whether she could still get through.

"You think I want to contact her?"

"It's Chinese New Year, and she didn't even call us. She was overseas before, so it was inconvenient. Now that she's back home, she still wants to use this excuse to perfunctorily deal with us?"

"This child has been spoiled beyond measure, and his heart is wild."

"It's better if she doesn't come back. If she does, I will chase her away."

Yin Yan waved his hand, unwilling to interfere.

He went back to his study and left everything else to Rulan.

Lu Lan felt even more uneasy.

He didn't even think about how the two of them treated her as a child over the years.

But then again, at this critical juncture, all industries and sectors should stop working. Will Susu come back to celebrate the New Year this year?
