Chapter 1712: Su Qiangying Goes to Find Moli

Only those who truly care about you will feel heartache for you; those who don't care, even if you were truly dead, might feel a bit of guilt, but they wouldn't be sad for long, and things would just go on as they always have.

Shi Youxuan truly felt that Bai Manman's infatuation was not worth it.

She offered advice, and Bai Manman nodded along blindly, no longer talking back, but whether she truly took it to heart, only she herself knew.

Seeing this, Shi Youxuan said no more; more words would be of no use.

After the wound was bandaged, Fang Jie brought over some bird's nest porridge, and Bai Manman wanted to feed it to her.

In fact, she could have easily drunk it herself, as her other hand was perfectly fine.

But to make her feel a little less guilty, Shi Youxuan did not refuse.

The scene of the two of them—one feeding carefully, the other eating the bird's nest porridge—was just seen by Jian Yixin.

She was very envious.

They were both sons' girlfriends; why was the difference between people so great?

She teased, "Don't you have hands? To have your daughter-in-law feed you bird's nest, that is simply heinous."

Her arrival was timely; it was just right to ease the atmosphere.

Shi Youxuan said, "You are just jealous."

"That's right, I am jealous, so what? If my daughter-in-law were half as good as her, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

The two exchanged a few more quips, and Bai Manman got up to take her leave.

She was not a person without social awareness; Bai Manman only acted foolishly when it came to Zirui, but in her daily interactions, she was normal and decorous, otherwise Shi Youxuan would not have chosen her to be Zirui's wife.

Once everyone had left, Jian Yixin was still sighing with emotion: "Your Manman is still the best; you really are blessed, all your future daughters-in-law are excellent."

Shi Youxuan said, "You don't even know how worried I've been these past few days, and yet you're still envious."

She held nothing back from Jian Yixin and recounted the events of the past few days.

Jian Yixin was stunned: "There's such a thing? If that's the case, you have enough to worry about; Manman really is stubborn."

"Who's to say she isn't? Right now, I'm just worried about this; Zirui ignores her, yet Manman is dead set on marrying him. What am I supposed to do?"

Jian Yixin said, "This is all the trouble you caused yourself. If you hadn't stopped Zirui and Qi Shishi from being together in the beginning, wouldn't that have been fine?"

Everyone is quick to judge others but blind to their own faults.

Shi Youxuan glared at her and asked only one thing: "If it were you, would you stop them or not?"

Jian Yixin was not unaware of the grievances between the Qi Family and the Sheng Family back then; how could they possibly allow their son to be with a daughter of the Qi Family? The future troubles would be endless.

Jian Yixin did not act coy and answered quite readily: "If it were me, of course I would stop them too; I would have opposed it even more fiercely than you."

"Then why are you lecturing me?"

"Hehe."

Every family has its own difficult scriptures to recite, and every household has its own hardships; it is just that people are prone to staring at the glitz and glamour of others while comparing it to their own bitterness and sorrow.

Actually, Jian Yixin's dilemma was easier to handle; it only required one of the two—the mother-in-law or the daughter-in-law—to be less overbearing.

But this matter with Zirui was truly difficult to handle.

Feelings cannot be forced; they are tangled and messy, an age-old dilemma.

Su Qiangying's Apartment.

Moli fed his girlfriend chicken soup: "Drink slowly, be careful it's hot."

He had simmered the chicken soup himself, using an old hen his mother had sent over, but he didn't let her know; if his girlfriend knew the hen was a gift from his mother, she definitely wouldn't drink it.

Moli usually never lifted a finger for housework, and this was his first time simmering chicken soup by hand; it was a bit greasy.

But Su Qiangying drank it with great relish; her boyfriend's gentleness and thoughtfulness made her very happy.

She looked at her boyfriend's face and found everything about him good, except for one thing: his mother was too much trouble.

She wasn't even his biological mother, yet as a foster mother, she was so meddlesome and overbearing, which made her feel extremely annoyed.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

"I won't drink any more." She shook her head.

"Eat a little more; only by eating more can your body recover quickly."

"I won't eat anymore, I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead and ask."

Moli thought she was going to say something important, so he set the bowl aside and looked at her with a serious expression.

Su Qiangying asked: "Moli, have you ever thought about it? Reconnecting with your biological mother."

Moli hesitated for a moment and said: "I have thought about it, but I cannot do that."

"Why? Are you afraid your mother will be unhappy? Your mother is truly selfish; it's not like you wouldn't support her in the future, so what right does she have to stop you from acknowledging your biological mother..."

Moli had only said one sentence, and it drew a whole string of words from her.

Moli spoke up for his mother: "Don't say it like that. Actually, I've only ever thought about it in my heart and have never told anyone; my mother doesn't know, and you are the first."

Su Qiangying said: "You should acknowledge your biological mother. One's body, hair, and skin are gifts from one's parents; this is an ancient teaching. Even if the grace of birth is not as great as the grace of raising, the grace of birth is still a grace."

"Without your biological parents, there would be no you."

"I was even sad about the fetus I miscarried that hadn't even taken shape..."

As she spoke, she shed tears: "Think about your biological mother; how much suffering did she endure during those ten months of pregnancy to bring you into the world? When I get better, let's go visit her; I'll go with you."

Moli said vaguely: "We'll talk about it later; the most important thing right now is for you to recover your health."

Moli did not agree immediately, but he did not say he disagreed either; his ambiguous attitude gave Su Qiangying confidence.

Coincidentally, the opportunity came very soon.

After resting for a week, Su Qiangying went back to class.

They had a project that required them to conduct research in the countryside, and the village chosen by the research group was Chen Family Village.

Chen Family Village?

Su Qiangying felt the name of this village was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before... Right!

She quickly remembered that Chen Family Village was the village where Moli's biological mother lived.

At that time, she had this thought, so she asked a lot of questions; Moli had mentioned the name of this village, and she had remembered it.

When they arrived at the village, they were received by the Village Chief, Gu Zhihao.

After the research was finished, Su Qiangying asked the Village Chief: "Is there a woman in your village named Shi Yuke? She is in her forties."

Gu Zhihao: "Are you talking about my wife? There is only one woman in our village named Shi Yuke, and that is my wife."

"Really? That is truly a coincidence; my boyfriend's name is Sheng Moli."

"Moli? You are Moli's girlfriend, why didn't you say so earlier? Oh my!"

Gu Zhihao was very enthusiastic; knowing that Su Qiangying was Moli's girlfriend, he immediately invited them to his home and entertained them warmly.

Being invited, Su Qiangying went along generously and met Shi Yuke.

At the Gu Family, the research team enjoyed a level of hospitality they had never experienced in the city; everyone said it was thanks to Su Qiangying, which made her feel very honored.

The Gu Family couple took out almost all the good things in their home to entertain everyone; not only did they provide good food and drink, but they also prepared gifts for everyone.

Shi Yuke held Su Qiangying's hand and did not let go.

She smiled from ear to ear and kept praising her: "Moli really has a good eye; the girlfriend he found is truly beautiful, and she's even a graduate student—one can tell at a glance that she is a sensible and good child..."
