Dragging my exhausted body back to the Imperial University;

After waving goodbye to Li Jinchen, Meng Qingyan saw Mu Xingran, Tang Tang and Yan Jingxu waiting at the school gate.

The little girl was still surprised by the gathering of these three people.

I don't know why they are like this and are going to charge someone with an army.

He threw his backpack in the direction of Yan Jingxu rudely, and then he inquired about the purpose of their visit;

"Are you waiting for me?"

Seeing Meng Qingyan's exhaustion at the moment, the young man did not want to deal with her and directly stated his purpose;

"Why did you agree to Su Nianqing's birthday invitation?"

Hearing the question, Meng Qingyan glanced at Mu Xingran, who was trying hard to reduce his presence.

How could he not guess that this guy was worried about his actions and secretly ran to Yan Jingxu to report the news.

Tang Tang on the side also had a face full of worry, and his eyes did not quite approve of this matter.

"I just want to see how grand the birthday party of the person who can replace the little princess of the Su family is, isn't it?"

After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the school.

Tang Tang and Mu Xingran were confused and didn't understand the conversation between the two, but they still turned around and followed Meng Qingyan.

I wanted to blame the little girl for her rash behavior, but after hearing this explanation, the depression I had felt instantly dissipated.

The feeling of heartache kept rising, and he understood why Meng Qingyan agreed without hesitation. Even if he was worried now, afraid that Su Nianqing would do something that would be detrimental to her, he had no reason to stop her.

He sighed helplessly and shook his head, then slung the backpack in his arms over his shoulders.

He nodded to Li Jinchen who was still in the car as a greeting. He had no intention of changing Meng Qingyan's decision, so he could only resign himself to his fate and chase after them.

Li Jinchen heard every word of the conversation just now, although he had never heard the little girl mention anything about Su Nianqing on her own initiative.

But Li Jinchen knew that she did not want to recognize the Su family for the time being. There was another reason, and that was the rumors that Su Nianqing was very favored in the Su family. The reason why they let that woman go before was also because of the face of the Su family's status.

At that time, I did not tell her the truth about the outside comments. I just felt that the matter had passed and there was no point in bringing up the past.

But now it has been confirmed that Meng Qingyan is the lost little princess of the Su family.

In any case, we can no longer allow public opinion to continue to run rampant without any intervention.

After watching the few people disappear from his sight, Li Jinchen started the car and left.

In the old house of the Su family;

The two old men were playing chess in the garden. Li Jinchen and Su Junrui were standing not far away, looking at Old Man Su not far away, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

It was not until the butler Uncle Zhang came to report that someone was visiting that Mr. Su raised his head. But after hearing clearly who it was, the expression on his face gave people a feeling of annoyance.

But he still nodded to the butler and brought the person in.

Before Su Junrui and the other two came forward, they saw the housekeeper Uncle Zhang leading a beautifully dressed woman in. Li Jinchen had never seen this person before.

But on the other hand, Su Junrui on the side had a frown on his face, and all his displeasure was clearly revealed.

"Mr. Su, I'm here to see you on behalf of Su Lei!"

After he finished speaking, he put down the gift in his hand, and then stood beside the old man very respectfully.

However, the woman's familiarity did not elicit a friendly response from Mr. Su. He just nodded slightly and said "hmm" as a response to the greeting.

But he didn't pay any attention to the visitor and was still talking about chess and card moves with Old Man Li.

Being ignored like this, Zhou Menglan remained calm as if she was used to it. She just stood there quietly without making any noise to disturb them.

Li Jinchen looked at the scene in front of him and bumped into Su Junrui to ask questions.

"That person is Zhou Menglan! She comes to visit the old man every month under the name of her husband Su Lei. She doesn't feel embarrassed to be left out, and just keeps wasting time like this!"

"Su Lei?"

The moment he heard the name, Li Jinchen was still a little confused. He couldn't remember when the Su family had such a relative.

Su Junrui was well aware of the man's doubts. After all, he had left the Su family for nearly 30 years. Even he only knew that Su Lei had stayed in the Su family for a long time from his grandfather's mention of it.

But his understanding of the rest was very one-sided, and he could only explain Su Lei's identity in a few words;

"He was the steward of the Su family before, and was considered the person that Grandpa trusted the most. But when Zhou Menglan brought her daughter to him, he resigned from the Su family."

“Every month?”

Perhaps it was the woman's persistence that aroused Li Jinchen's curiosity, and Su Junrui also kept complaining about this matter.

"Yes, every month! He used to bring Su Nianqing with him, but one time he happened to be bumped into by Shi Hao. I don't know what unpleasantness happened, but that kid said in front of everyone that if Su Nianqing dared to come to his house again, he would never return to the Su family! Since then, Su Nianqing has stopped following him."

He was originally just curious about the woman's identity, but the appearance of Su Nianqing during the chat really caught him off guard.

Thinking back to that time when he was confronting Su Junrui in the private room and what he had said about Su Nianqing's identity, he instantly understood the twists and turns involved.

But he inexplicably felt that the woman in front of him was not as elegant and honest as she appeared on the surface. Instead, she seemed to be deep-minded and adaptable.

But is this frequent contact with the Su family really just because of the relationship between her husband and the Su family?

Li Jinchen was not surprised at all by Shi Hao's behavior. After all, that little bully was feared by everyone in the Su family. He had always been willful and never cared about the face of the elders in the aristocratic family.

"What is the attitude of others towards Su Nianqing?"

I already knew that Li Jinchen disliked Su Nianqing.

He even told the story of what Su Nianqing's family had done and the Su family's attitude towards them without hiding anything;

"They all look down on me, but Zhou Menglan is just like promoting her own granddaughter, praising Su Nianqing all the time. That's fine, but she always mentions and belittles my sister from time to time!"

The man did not interrupt Su Junrui's recollection, but what he heard next made him even more interested in this old lady.

"My mother was still alive at that time. When she heard the criticism about my sister, she couldn't stand her hypocritical behavior. She didn't care about the respect for seniority and simply drove her out! It was quiet for a while, but then my mother passed away unexpectedly, and she started to visit again with Su Nianqing! Until she bumped into Shi Hao that time."

This echoed the previous description, further stimulating his speculation.

Zhou Menglan had already started planning to take over the Su family's side branch a long time ago.

And every time she visits now, it is probably just to create the illusion for outsiders that she is very familiar with the Su family!
