Chapter 453: Chapter 452: Rejection!_1

"That year, I returned to my hometown to mourn the death of a family member. Later, after being summoned by an Imperial Decree, just after the New Year, I had to rush back to the Capital City. On the way, I was pursued by a gang of villains."

Liu Zikang quickly narrated the past events, "I led my men to divert the pursuers and let my wife escape in a carriage with our twin daughters who were just one-month-old. My wife managed to escape! But because of the urgent situation and it being a pitch-dark windy night, we didn’t notice that one of the infants was missing from the carriage ... "

Afterwards, although aware that the infant might have been lost on the way, Liu Zikang, under the burden of the Imperial Decree, had to rush to the Capital City.

In the following years, the situation in the Capital City was rather complicated and he never had the chance to investigate.

"My wife nearly cried her eyes blind over this matter and fell sick due to the grief at such a young age."

Liu Zikang narrated the past with a painful expression, "Among the twins we lost, it was Ji Li who disappeared, and Jing Li had been raised and pampered by my wife since childhood. Alas!"

After his long dialogue, everyone fell silent and turned to stare at Su Pan’er.

"Why are you all looking at me? I am not that baby girl."

Su Pan’er pressed her lips together tightly and spoke in a particularly harsh tone, "It doesn’t matter who you are or why you are here, you’re not welcome. Please leave!"

Her blunt statement of eviction changed everyone’s expressions.

Liu Zikang turned pale immediately.

Jun Ruochen frowned instantly.

Even Lui Muyi could not hide his irritation: "Pan’er, Lord Liu is a member of the Liu Family in the Capital City, you..."

"Big Brother Lui, I naturally understand the importance of the Liu Family in Capital City."

Before Lui Muyi could finish, Su Pan’er interrupted, "That’s precisely why I wouldn’t dare to entertain any false claims of familial bonds. I hope you won’t bring this up again!"

Su Pan’er spoke so firmly that Liu Zikang’s complexion turned pitch-black!

"Take your time to think about this matter! Anyway, I’m staying at the postal relay station for the time being. If you make up your mind, come to find me. Humph!"

After Liu Zikang finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out.

Jun Ruochen shot Su Pan’er a deep glance, moving his lips a few times, but eventually said nothing and left as well.

Lui Muyi was visibly anxious: "Pan’er, regardless of the Liu Family being a prominent family in the Capital City, he is your biological father after all, why won’t you acknowledge him?"

"Big Brother Lui, one can eat more food but should not carelessly speak!"

Su Pan’er responded with an emotionless face, not showing any courtesy, "Whether he is my biological parent or not, I know better. They’ve already left for quite some time, you should go catch up! I still have things to deal with later, so I won’t see you out!"

"Pan’er! You....."

Lui Muyi wanted to say more, but seeing Su Pan’er’s emotionless face, he sighed.

"Fine! I, Lui Muyi, should mind my own business!"

Having said that, he left as well.

After he left, only Su Pan’er and Mrs. Su-Hua were left in the house.

Seeing Su Pan’er sitting silently as if lost in thoughts, Mrs. Su-Hua wrung her hands in visible distress, and still decided to speak softly.

"Pan’er, I found you on the side of the road. Based on your age and this pair of eyes of yours, I always thought these eyes were rather beautiful and expressive. Today I saw Lord Liu, he also has a pair of fox eye-shaped eyes like yours. In my opinion, I think what he said about you being his daughter is probably..."

"Mother!"

Su Pan’er interrupted Mrs. Su-Hua, gently held her hand, and said, "I know that most of what he said is probably true. Him showing up at our doorsteps would have been after multiple confirmations. But, so what? Have you thought about it, Mother? For over a decade, they never came looking for me. Now, I am already married and part of another family, why would they choose to find me now?"

"They, they were busy..."

"Busy? Ha, how busy could a wealthy family possibly be? Even if he were busy, he could’ve simply sent a servant to look for me. Isn’t it a simple matter?"

"Maybe they, they forgot..."

"You’re saying this, but you don’t believe it yourself, do you?

Su Pan’er smiled slightly, "For more than a decade, they never came looking for me. But now, they suddenly appear. Mother, don’t you find it strange? Isn’t there a saying? The rich are always up early pursuing their interests. I’m wondering what the true purpose behind his arrival is. There’s definitely something more to it!"

"This, this..."

Mrs. Su-Hua fell silent.

Originally, she wanted to persuade Pan’er to agree, but after hearing her words, she could no longer say what she planned to.

"Mother, you think too much."

Su Pan’er quickly comforted her, "I’m married now and have a family and children. My small family is living a peaceful and happy life. Why would I need to acknowledge some kin? Moreover, even if I acknowledge my biological parents, the most they could do is give me some extra dowry. Why bother? Mother, don’t you think so?"

After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Su-Hua said in a low voice, "I’m afraid that you will regret it in the future."

"Regret what? Regret not having parents? Having you and dad’s affection is more than enough for me. Are you really willing to give away the daughter you cherished and pampered to someone else?"

These words finally made Mrs. Su-Hua smile.

"You! All right, I can’t argue with you. One thing you must remember, however, is that if you want to acknowledge your birth parents, I will not stop you, understand?"

"I know!"

How could she not know it?

Mrs. Su-Hua truly loved her like her own daughter and did not abandon her, even facing death!

Such parents, though not biological, were certainly better than the real ones.

What else could she still be dissatisfied with?

As for that person...

Su Pan’er looked at the blooming chrysanthemums outside the window. As long as her sister was there to serve them, it was enough!

That evening, when Su Lao Si returned, Mrs. Su-Hua informed him of all that had happened.

Su Lao Si then came to see Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er thought he would talk about the acknowledgment matter, but Su Lao Si instead discussed the Su Family’s splitting up issue that had been ongoing for quite some time.

"The rice on our farmland has not yet been harvested, yet these people are hustling and bustling continually. Father thought, if he needed to give up a bit, then so be it! Wealth is nothing more than worldly possessions. Let’s just surrender some of the top-grade farmland in exchange for a piece of mountainous land. That mountainous land is barren. Apart from some sour wild grapes, nothing else grows there. But, it is still a piece of land, isn’t it..."

He chatted on and on, with a genuine smile on his face.

Su Pan’er silently listened and occasionally commented.

After sitting for a tea session, Su Lao Si finally got up to leave, "I caught a big bucket full of small fish in the field today, and your mother has already marinated them. She will make spicy fish for you tomorrow. You are pregnant now, so don’t overwork. Go to bed early!"

As Su Lao Si walked away, Su Pan’er watched his receding figure, her eyes momentarily dimmed.
