After Sun E took Su Chenxi upstairs, Su Qian closed the medicine box and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Mommy, do you really want to go find Daddy?"
Su Chenyu came to her with curiosity in his eyes.
Originally, those words were just to appease her daughter, but when her son asked her, she suddenly became speechless.
Su Chenyu was young but clever, and he could tell at a glance that she was hesitating.
"Mummy is not lying to Chen Xi, right?"
He climbed onto the sofa and reminded: "Mommy, don't lie to Chen Xi, otherwise with Chen Xi's temper, you might not know what will happen tomorrow."
His words reminded Su Qian.
Chen Xi is emotionally unstable now. If she doesn't go to Si Mobai, she might not be able to explain.
But the problem is that her relationship with Si Mobai is very awkward now. She should be thankful that Si Mobai didn't come to trouble her.
If you take the initiative to find him, wouldn't you be risking your own death?
Moreover, how could he agree to come see Chen Xi?
"I know, Mommy will figure it out herself."
She leaned on the sofa, feeling very depressed.
Gong Chen walked in from outside and happened to hear her speak.
"Qianqian, what happened?"
"It's still Chen Xi's fault. Her condition is even worse today. She just dropped a lot of things at your house."
At this moment, the servants were cleaning the floor.
Su Qian looked at the broken glass and continued: "You will have someone make a list of these things later, and I will buy a new one."
"These are all cheap things. If they fall, they will fall apart. There are plenty of spare ones at home, so you don't need to buy them anymore."
Gong Chen's tone was nonchalant, but Su Qian couldn't be so casual.
"Don't fool me. Can you use cheap cups at home? If you regard me as a friend, give me the list. Otherwise, how can I have the nerve to continue living here?"
"Okay, I'm really scared of you. I'll send you the list later, okay?"
Su Qian then nodded with satisfaction.
Gong Chen walked towards her and soon found the medicine box next to her.
"Qianqian, are you injured?"
He looked at her, fearing that he might miss the location of her injury.
"It wasn't me, it was Chen Xi. She was emotionally unstable just now and fell and was scratched by glass shards."
"Is Chenxi okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No, I've already disinfected and bandaged her."
Only then did Gong Chen sit down with relief.
"Chen Xi used to have a very gentle temper, but now..."
Halfway through his words, he looked at Su Qian's gloomy expression and swallowed the rest of his words.
Su Qian said slowly: "She is just sick. When she recovers, she will become the gentle-tempered Chen Xi before."
"Qianqian, don't worry, Chenxi will be fine soon."
…
"Mommy, please persuade Chen Xi. She has been unwilling to eat since last night, and she has ignored me at all."
Su Qian rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Mommy is here to persuade her. Aunt Sun has cooked rice porridge. You go out to eat some."
"Grandma Sun's rice porridge is the most delicious."
Before Su Chenyu went out, he didn't forget to stick out his tongue to his sister: "Chenxi baby, if you don't come out quickly, I will eat them all."
Su Chenxi coughed but didn't respond.
Su Qian sat over and held her little hand.
"Chenxi, tell mommy, why don't you want to eat?"
Su Chenxi stared blankly ahead, unwilling to even respond with a look.
She looked at the family portrait in her daughter's arms, lowered her eyelids, and gradually loosened her hand.
When she was abroad, her daughter would often hold family photos in a daze, but she would not go on a hunger strike.
Now, Chen Xi actually started to threaten her with a hunger strike.
Sometimes she would think that to the child, that man was just a stranger whom she had never even met.
Why is Chen Xi so persistent with a strange man?
"Mommy takes you out to eat."
Seeing that she didn't respond, Su Qian hugged her directly.
Unexpectedly, Su Chenxi reacted violently and pushed her away vigorously.
She looked at her daughter who was suddenly irritable and lost her temper inexplicably.
"Su Chenxi, have you had enough trouble?"
It was the first time she spoke to her daughter so loudly.
Because at this moment, she also felt aggrieved.
In the past few years, she wanted to give her heart and soul to her daughter, just to make her live a happier life.
But this daughter always neglected her because of this strange man.
Every time, she had to endure the heartache to comfort her.
But she is human, and she will be tired.
This time, she finally broke out.
Su Chenxi looked up at mommy.
Seeing that Mommy's eyes were moist, she frowned, with some incomprehensible emotions in her eyes.
Su Qian looked at her frown and suddenly realized that her tone was a little heavier.
"Sorry, Chen Xi, mommy couldn't control her emotions right now."
She reluctantly apologized to her daughter in an attempt to gain her forgiveness.
But what Su Chenxi wanted was not her apology.
After not hearing what she wanted to hear, Su Chenxi shrank back and continued to squat on the bed in a daze.
Sun E heard the movement in the room, opened the door and walked in.
Looking at the stalemate between Su Qian and her daughter in the room, she could probably guess something.
She did not ask, but smiled at Su Qian and said, "Qianqian, the rice porridge is ready. Come out and eat some."
Su Qian glanced at her daughter and responded to Sun E: "Okay."
…
In the restaurant.
Sun E brought a bowl of milk and rice porridge to Su Qian and sat down opposite her.
"Qianqian, I have watched Chen Xi and Chen Yu grow up, and in my heart, I have long regarded them as my grandchildren.
Don't blame auntie for talking too much. Auntie is also a person with children. Parents are indispensable for children.
Have you ever thought about asking the children’s father to come and see them?”
Su Qian pulled at the rice porridge for a moment.
Then, she scooped up the rice porridge and put it in her mouth, swallowing it with difficulty.
"Aunt Sun, I know what you mean, but..."
After hesitation, she confessed: "I have no idea who their father is."
Sun E was stunned for a moment.
In all these years, she had never heard Su Qian mention the father of her two children.
Occasionally, when she asked, Su Qian would deliberately avoid it, and then she simply stopped asking.
Unexpectedly, it was for this reason.
Sun E was not one to poke her pain, so she quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, Qianqian, it's Auntie who's too talkative. Auntie doesn't want to inquire about your personal affairs, but if Chenxi stays like this, it will have some impact on her growth."
"I know."
Su Qian put down the porridge spoon.
Why didn't she worry about this?
Over the years, she had seen Chen Xi every time, whether it was a famous pediatrician or a psychiatrist, but it had no effect at all.
She also understood what Aunt Sun meant. Maybe Chenxi would get better if she found the child's father.
Although, she was extremely repelled by this man.
But remembering her daughter's state just now, she finally relaxed.
"Aunt Sun, thank you for your concern. If I have a chance, I will inquire about his whereabouts."
