Chapter 407: Chapter 407 Her Daughter (3)

Chu Jinyu took her hand, her gaze urgent, “Good child, has the Ning Family treated you poorly?”

Su Lianxi hurriedly shook her head, “Of course not, the people of the Ning Family have been very kind to me, really very kind.”

While speaking, she managed a forced smile.

Chu Jinyu could easily see her disingenuousness.

“I remember that young man Ning Yichen, at first everyone thought he had died.” Chu Jinyu said thoughtfully, “I remember, you married him because you saved him, right?”

Su Lianxi nodded shyly.

“Then, he should treat you even better!” Chu Jinyu said emphatically, “Lianxi, you are Zhou Rong’s daughter, which makes you like my own daughter. If the Ning Family treats you poorly, you must tell me.”

Su Lianxi’s eyes turned slightly red as she nodded vigorously, “I will remember, thank you, Madam.”

…

Su Lianxi stayed until the sky had darkened before leaving. During this time, Chu Jinyu asked her many things, for which Su Lianxi had come prepared, answering without any slip.

The Su Family had only recently arrived in Yangdong City and were not widely known. Even if the lady pulled up the Su Family’s records, she was not afraid, because Su Zixi had long severed ties with Su Guo’an, so her file and information had already been removed from the Su Family.

At this moment, she had to thank the resolute decision of Su Zixi back then; otherwise, even if Su Zixi had married He Jingyao, the Su Family would still have retained her information.

She did not dare hope to deceive the lady for a lifetime, only needing a month, one month’s time sufficient to fulfill her own wish.

…

The sky had darkened.

After Chu Jinyu instructed a maid to send Su Lianxi away, she sat pensively in the courtyard, her left hand continuously caressing the ring on her right, her expression a mix of sorrow and joy.

The past suddenly surged up like a tide. Yet, perhaps her long career in politics had rendered her cold-hearted, she didn’t feel as excited as she had thought.

She had never imagined she would see this child again. For many years, she dared not inquire, dared not send someone to investigate…for any slight carelessness might have led to the deaths of both herself and that child.

Yet, the child had taken the initiative to come to her…

With Chu Jinyu’s astuteness, how could she not see the undeniable longing in Su Lianxi’s eyes? What she saw was not her, Chu Jinyu, but the power she held as the First Lady.

Chu Jinyu didn’t want to believe that the child she knew could have turned out this way. But, what right did she have to blame her?

At least she was still alive and well, and had cleverly guessed some clues.

Regrettably, this would forever be an unspoken secret between the two of them.

Han Ying walked up to her side, unable to resist reminding her, “Madam, it’s too cold outside, you should go back inside.”

Chu Jinyu then came back to her senses, nodding lightly.

“It seems you got along very well with Madam Ning,” Han Ying said with a smile.

“Yes, I feel fond of this child whenever I see her,” Chu Jinyu replied with a gentle smile, “Please ask Mrs. Ning to come over tomorrow.”

She could only provide that child a bit of protection within her capability.

Han Ying paused, then nodded, “Okay.”

Having served the Madam for many years, she knew that although Madam appeared gentle and kind, she was inherently very indifferent and rarely took a deep interest in anyone. What exactly had Ning’s young Madam done to make Madam regard her so highly?
