“What’s going on?”
When Su Jianguo was mentioned, Su Yan immediately picked up the conversation.
“Recently, my dad has been getting really close to this woman. He even declared that he’s going to find me a stepmom. Old Su was never like this before. Now that he suddenly wants to remarry, I think he must be bewitched by a female ghost.”
Su Yan looked serious.
If he hadn’t felt that something was off, he wouldn’t have come to find Li Qiao.
Along the way, Li Qiao listened quietly.
As for the specifics, she would only know after meeting Su Jianguo and that so-called “female ghost.”
When the two of them arrived at the Su family home, Su Yan asked, “Is the old man here?”
The servant replied, “Mr. Su just got back.”
He nudged Li Qiao with his shoulder and whispered, “Qiao, take a good look later. If it really is a ghost, let me know in advance so I can make a run for it.”
“…” Li Qiao gave him a look that said a thousand things.
What a way to honor his dad!
The two of them walked into the living room side by side.
“Dad… I’ve told you so many times, don’t bring other women home. And here you are, bringing her again.” Su Yan saw the two of them cuddling together, and he instantly flew into a rage.
Su Jianguo’s face darkened immediately. “You brat, what kind of attitude is that? This is Aunt Li. From now on, she’s your mother.”
“Pfft, my mother died a long time ago. She’s younger than me. Get a grip, old man. Can you stop trying to act like a young stud chasing after tender grass?”
“Mr. Su, Su Yan, your father and I truly love each other.”
“Shut up. I’m talking to my dad. It’s not your place to interrupt.”
Seeing his precious darling looking disappointed, Su Jianguo became displeased on the spot. “Su Yan, you keep your mouth shut. You don’t understand our love at all.”
“What kind of nonsense love is that? If it weren’t for your money, would she even look at you? What does she see in you? Your old man smell? Or the fact that you’re old and don’t bathe?”
Su Yan was blunt and unfiltered, each word striking Su Jianguo’s fragile heart.
Boiling with rage, Su Jianguo pointed at Su Yan, unable to get a single word out for a long while.
“Jianguo… don’t get mad. Don’t ruin your health over this.”
“See, Nana is the one who truly cares about me.” Su Jianguo held Li Nana close, deeply touched.
The two of them went back and forth with their little act, and Su Yan felt like throwing up.
He turned his head and said, “Qiao…”
Li Qiao shook her head.
He couldn’t believe it. “Not a ghost? She’s really human?”
“Yeah.”
“Then my dad…”
“He’s probably really fallen in love.” After watching the whole drama unfold, Li Qiao gave an accurate verdict.
Su Yan’s face turned pale as death. He stared at the two embracing each other with complicated emotions, exchanging sweet murmurs and showing so much affection. It was absolutely disgusting.
“Su Yan, who’s this? Your girlfriend?” Su Jianguo finally noticed the quiet Li Qiao.
Su Yan immediately panicked.
“This is Li Qiao.”
“Oh… Little niece from the Li family. Please, have a seat.”
Su Jianguo’s attitude changed pretty quickly. Li Qiao didn’t stand on ceremony either and sat down next to Su Yan.
Her gaze fell upon their faces, and she already had an answer in mind.
Su Jianguo knew that Li Qiao could read faces and tell fortunes, but deep down, he never really believed in such things. To him, it was all just a bunch of tricks to fool people.
Out of respect for the Li family, he asked her a question as a mere formality.
“Fortune-telling? You really can read faces?” Li Nana asked softly.
“Nana, let our little niece take a look at our fortunes. So, little niece, do you think Nana and I can stay together forever?” Su Jianguo seemed quite interested, earning another eye-roll from Su Yan, which made Su Jianguo grit his teeth in anger.
Li Qiao clicked her tongue.
A man his age, and still such a lovestruck fool.
Unbelievable!
“Sure,” Li Qiao said as she walked up to them. She carefully studied their faces. Su Jianguo asked with great interest, “How is it, little niece?”
“Congratulations! You’re going to be a father again.”
Su Jianguo was overjoyed. He looked at Li Nana, surprised. “Nana, you… you’re pregnant?”
Li Nana’s expression froze slightly.
Just as she was about to nod, Li Qiao spoke again. “Too bad. The child isn’t yours.”
