Suddenly, a row of swans flew up, bathing in the rays of the setting sun. Seeing that Su Yan suddenly remembered something and said to Bai Xingfan, âMr. Bai, just wait for me.â After she finished speaking, she stood up from the chair, hurriedly ran back to the bedroom, and returned to the balcony holding a wooden box.
âMmmâŠyou sent me a wedding gift. Itâs better to return it because the marriage didnât happen.â Su Yan said this while giving Bai Xingfan the box.
She had already returned the gifts and money her friends and relatives gave her, and only Bai Xingfan was left.
Bai Xingfan sat without moving. âAre my wishes worthless, Miss Su?â Bai Xingfanâs face became darker.
[TL Notes: Bai Xingfan gave Su Yan some gifts and said he would fulfil three of her wishes as her wedding gift before Su Yan was abandoned by Xie Yu.]
Su Yan was taken aback by Bai Xingfanâs question. âI didnât mean that, IâŠâ she tried to explain.
âThen keep it with you.â Bai Xingfan interrupted her.
Su Yan was helpless, lowered her head, and muttered in a low voice. âI donât have any wishes now.â
Bai Xingfan: âThen wait until you have.â
âReally, any wish is okay?â Su Yan glanced at Bai Xingfan from the corner of her eyes and asked curiously.
âOf course,â he said. âEven if you want the stars or the moon, I am willing to pick them for you.â
Su Yan didnât believe Bai Xingfan would be that generous. âIf I want Xie Yu to reconcile with me, you can do it too.â
Bai Xingfanâs face darkened like the bottom of a pot. He stood up from the chair, walked into the bedroom without looking back, and slammed the balcony door with a bang.
Su Yan: ââŠâ
Actually, Su Yan didnât have a single thought of reconciling with Xie Yu again. Even if he begged on his knees, she would never look at him. She just said to check Bai Xingfanâs thoughts. Sighing, she looked down at the box in her hand againâsince Bai Xingfan didnât want it, then keep it for now.
Bai Xingfan went to the airport early the next morning to take the flight to New York.
When Su Yan woke up, Bai Xingfan was no longer at home. She didnât know whether it was because of yesterday nightâs incident or that he had to catch the flight early in the morning.
Since Bai Xingfan left, the permanent residents of this manor had become Su Yan and her mother, which made Su Yan very embarrassed and once again felt like a dove occupying a magpieâs nest.
She searched for suitable hotels and even houses to rent short-term in order to move as soon as possible. However, she was very unlucky and couldnât find a suitable one to her satisfaction.
Fortunately, her father did not disappoint her. A week after his wife, daughter, and son ran away from home, Comrade Su Jianan finally resolved the problems.
One afternoon a week later, Su Yan was sitting cross-legged on the carpet next to the tea table, writing a script, while her mother, Liu Xiang, was sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet, watching a drama. Suddenly, Su Yanâs mobile phone vibrated, disturbing both mother and daughter. Su Yan picked it up and saw that it was her father who was calling.
âMom, Dad is calling,â she panickedly said to her mother.
Liu Xiang quickly took off the headset and said âQuickly answer, turn on the speakerphone!â
âYeah!â Su Yan also put down her Mac notebook, pressed the answer button, and turned on the speakerphone.
âYanyan, where is your mother?â Su Jianan asked anxiously.
âDidnât I tell you that day? If you canât solve the problem, donât search for our mother,â Su Yan said while looking at her mother.
Su Jianan hurriedly said: âI solved it! Really solved it!â
Su Yan was overjoyed but suppressed her excitement and asked calmly, âHow did you solve it?â
Su Jianan sighed. âYour grandma wonât be staying with us anymore, sheâs going to your uncleâs house.â
Su Yan couldnât hide her emotions, and she cheered happily, asking, âReally?â
Su Jianan was helpless. âWhy do I want to lie to you? Hey, your grandmother looked after you for so many years. Arenât you sad?â
âWhy should I be sad? I was beaten and scolded by her a lot when I was a child!â Su Yan scolded her father angrily.
Su Jianan: âShe is also your grandma! Look at what you said that day, is it appropriate? Grandma almost fainted from anger. â
Su Yan: âMy mother almost fainted from grandmaâs anger!â
Su Jianan sighed again. âAlright, alright, letâs stop talking about past things. How is your mother?â
Su Yan didnât reply and gave the phone to her mother after her fatherâs question.
Liu Xiang didnât have a smile on her face like Su Yanâs. âDid you send your mother there on your own initiative, or did she go by herself?â she asked indifferently.
âOh⊠I didnât think about that. Anyway, since grandmother is going from their house, it doesnât matter,â Su Yan thought happily.
Su Jianan didnât give a straight answer but played a sloppy eye: âOh, my mother has already left, so donât worry about it.â
Liu Xiang: âYou donât want to care about it! Tell me, how much did you promise to give them?â
Su Yan was taken aback again because she didnât think about that point.
âItâs not much, after all, itâs for my old lady. I should support her,â Su Jianan said sadly.
However, he couldnât convince Liu Xiang. âHow much is it? Ten thousand or twenty thousand?â she asked in a firm voice.
Su Jianan had no choice but to tell the truth. âThirty thousand.â
âThirty thousand?â Su Yan and her mother were very surprised.
