Chapter 12: Moving In Officially

Su Xi guessed that perhaps it didn't need to be said. His grandmother and Ji Yan should both be able to hear Su Yu's thoughts. By that inference, Su Yi should also be able to hear them. He doesn't want to wake up, so he must be conscious! If conscious, he wouldn't be indifferent to Su Yu's thoughts!

Su Yi, sleeping in a fog, was awakened by a child's voice.

"Who was just speaking?"

"Whose kid is that? Have some public‑spiritedness; how can you make noise by someone else's sickbed?"

Su Yi thought, if he could still move, he would definitely take that brat out. Sigh, the people caring for him are inattentive!

Yet the more he listened to that child's voice, the heavier Su Yi's mood became.

"That stupid dad, could it be referring to me?"

The family role the child's voice mentioned was far too similar to their own household setup!

Su Yi felt a bit panicked—could it be?

He couldn't really have a daughter now, could he?

He dared not imagine—if his daughter were truly this old, how much suffering would Yan Yan endure!

Outside the ward, the steward knocked on the opened door.

"Madam, the meal is ready."

"Good, let's go eat first!"

Hearing great‑grandmother's words, Su Yu immediately tugged at her mother, getting her to stand.

The three adults were silent at the table. Su Yu also tried to feign a lack of appetite, but she was truly starving!

Yang Zhichun, seeing Su Yu happily eat plain rice, showed the first smile he had had since meeting mother and daughter.

"She really looks like little Yi."

Ji Yan nodded, "They resemble each other in every way."

Habits, temper, preferences, appearance, and so on are all very similar. This lets her quickly become familiar with this somewhat unfamiliar biological daughter, as if she had always grown up by her side.

The latter part of the meal atmosphere was more harmonious. Yang Zhichun cared about Su Yu's daily life, and Ji Yan answered every question.

Only after Su Yu set down her chopsticks did their Q&A cease.

"Are you full?"

Yang Zhichun's eyes were full of kindness.

Su Yu nodded, "I'm full, thank you, great‑grandmother!"

Su Xi got back to the living room first and obtained the Paternity Test results.

"I will announce that she is my heir; the Su family's situation is indeed complicated. If anyone claiming to be my mother returns, you don't have to deal with her."

Su Yu's thoughts, Su Xi will investigate. As long as a person has done something, there will be traces. Moreover, his father's blood sample is still there; they can still conduct a Paternity Test.

Yang Zhichun also understood Su Xi's meaning, "The Su family is a big cake; everyone wants a bite. This period will be hard on you. Outsiders may misunderstand your relationship with Xiao Xi. When you tell the world you are Xiao Xi's family, don't say you are Xiao Yi's wife."

"Why?"

Ji Yan didn't understand. The daughter does this, and now Su Yi's elder brother and grandmother also do it.

Yang Zhichun patiently explained, "Behind the scenes there's a poisonous snake coveting our Su family. If Xiao Yi's child could also inherit the Su family, that snake would kill everyone inside us, leaving a fake puppet to turn our Su family into theirs. Xiao Yi would be the most dangerous one."

Announcing publicly that you are Su Yi's wife, they will likely treat you as a tool to humiliate the Su family. You will also suffer.

And Su Xi is the ruler of the Su Clan. If anyone deliberately humiliates Su Xi's wife, that's a direct war declaration against the Su family, definitely endless conflict.

【In plain terms, my dad is basically dead abroad. If it's my dad's wife, they assume the elder uncle won't cause a stir for my mother, this outsider. My mother probably wouldn't dare tell the elder uncle that she's being bullied.】

Yang Zhichun looked at the somewhat simple Ji Yan. If Su Yi hadn't had the incident, she might truly not agree to their marriage.

The door issue isn't the problem; the problem is the difficulties Su Yi and Ji Yan will face after marriage, which Ji Yan cannot solve. Various hardships and cognitive gaps will make them a resentful pair.

"Why make Xiao Yu the heir?"

"That poisonous snake is still there! Su Xi has a child, I'm still alive, so they don't dare act."

Yang Zhichun, to protect the two brothers, stayed in the Su Manor for over three years without leaving. If she hadn't died, the Su family wouldn't fall into that woman's hands! Likewise, even if Su Xi were dead now, with his already announced heir Su Yu, that woman wouldn't get to contest the inheritance.

"But what about big brother's reputation?"

Ji Yan truly found it odd. She can stay here to care for Su Yi; if she doesn't go out, she's not afraid of others hurting her.

"As long as he wants, he can take a wife anytime."

When Yang Zhichun doesn't want Su Xi to marry and have children early? This grandson's marriage resembles her early‑deceased son; if it's not someone he likes, he resolutely refuses to marry.

【That's not it; how could that crazy woman Chu Han Ya possibly let elder uncle marry someone else? I originally did it to block a bug. My mother and my elder uncle could never officially announce marriage. That crazy woman Chu Han Ya would still focus on the key person—elder uncle. However, the Chu family receiving the Su family's heir announcement should restrain her.】

The Chu family cannot let Chu Han Ya marry the designated heir Su Xi. Everything about Chu Han Ya comes from the Chu family. As long as the Chu family acts, Chu Han Ya is no concern.】

Su Xi has already sent his assistant to investigate Chu Han Ya; he wants to see just how crazy she is. Meanwhile, expose Chu Han Ya's affairs, make the Chu family suffer a bit, so they don't constantly eye the Su family's assets.

Yang Zhichun and Su Xi insisted on doing so, and since they only gave vague responses to the outside, Ji Yan finally nodded.

Ji Yan and Su Yu don't need to return to the previous home at all; their belongings were sent to the villa.

Ji Yan and Su Yu's rooms were placed on the second floor. This was Ji Yan's special request. If not for the empty rooms on the first floor, she would have wanted to stay on the first floor, closer to Su Yi.

Su Yu felt the card given by great‑grandmother in her pocket and went shopping the wardrobe with her mother.

"There are too many clothes, aren't there?"

Ji Yan saw rows upon rows of clothes; she couldn't get through them!

"Mom, also jewelry, bags, shoes…"

Su Yu, like treasure hunting, pointed out each type to Ji Yan as she saw it. She merrily darted through the wardrobe.

【Yay yay yay! So many, so many! These things are great‑grandmother's heart, I have to act happy so Mom won't say no, and avoid embarrassment for both Mom and great‑grandmother!】

Hearing her daughter's thoughts, Ji Yan didn't go out again, staying in the room to put together the parent‑child outfits she wanted with her daughter.

Study

"Grandma, is it really her?"

Back then, after the three were in a car accident, his nominal mother Zheng Dongping brought along his unrelated uncle to take over the Su Clan. The Su Clan shareholders were unwilling to let an outsider gain an advantage cheaply, and at the time things became extremely deadlocked. Zheng Dongping didn't even go to the hospital to see those two brothers, and simply concluded they were dead.

This makes it hard not to suspect her.

Therefore, the daughter Zheng Dongping gave birth to later is not acknowledged by their Su Family.

"You can hear that, right?"

Yang Zhichun looked at the grandson before him, who had become cold-hearted due to family changes, with some heartache.
