Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Xu Ming
While Mrs. Su was lost in her thoughts, Xu Ming slowly stood up from the sofa. She wasn’t even wearing shoes, walking barefoot on the floor.
Mrs. Su watched her sister walk toward her. She was about to remind her to wear shoes, but as if she thought of something, the words stuck in her throat. She quietly observed her sister.
She seemed thinner again, her dress couldn’t fit her anymore, even the cheekbones on the sides of her cheeks were prominent, making her face look only as big as a palm. The wrinkles on her forehead were deep, even though they were only a year apart, Xu Ming looked much older now!
What kind of hardships Xu Ming had been through all these years, Mrs. Su couldn’t even imagine!
Mrs. Su wasn’t sitting on the bed, just standing at the foot of the bed.
As Xu Ming approached, the sisters’ eyes met!
Xu Ming looked her sister up and down, then curled her lips, "You’re still so beautiful!" Xu Ming’s words were straightforward, without any concealment in her eyes.
Her sister’s face was delicately made up, with not a single wrinkle on her forehead, showing that she had taken good care of herself over the years, and it had worked well!
Hearing her sister’s compliment, Mrs. Su was genuinely pleased, "Sister, you’re as charming as ever!" Compared to Xu Ming’s sincerity, Mrs. Su’s words seemed more like a formality.
Xu Ming pretended not to hear, turned around, and continued to stare out the window.
The window was fitted with a stainless steel mesh, and the moonlight spilled into the room through the gaps.
Seeing her sister’s dazed look, Mrs. Su couldn’t bring herself to say what she had planned.
Her sister’s condition had just stabilized, if she revealed the matter about "An Yin"... just thinking about the consequences of telling, Mrs. Su felt a wave of fear!
Mrs. Su comforted herself, maybe she was wrong? That girl named "An Yin" just looked like that person? What if the girl had nothing to do with that person?
With this hopeful mindset, Mrs. Su thought it was not the right time to reveal this to her sister yet, she should investigate first and then decide!
After figuring it out, Mrs. Su spoke casually, "Sister, I heard Sihan is back in the country. I plan to take Yifeng to the Meng Family."
Xu Ming stood like a pillar, motionless, and didn’t react even at the mention of her son’s name.
Seeing this, Mrs. Su continued to share what she had heard, "I heard from Old Su that Sihan did something to make your husband very upset..."
The "Old Su" she referred to was her husband!
Seeing that her sister remained unchanged, Mrs. Su continued to chat, "I’d say, what family holds a grudge overnight, Sihan’s personality is too stubborn. He needs someone close to advise him, I’d say we need to find him a marriage partner, maybe after he gets married, it will soften his temper!"
Mrs. Su thought her suggestion was good, looking hopefully at Xu Ming, only to be ignored!
Xu Ming didn’t express any opinion.
Mrs. Su didn’t know whether her sister listened or not, and didn’t dare to ask what her thoughts were. Over the years, every time she mentioned Meng Sihan in front of her sister, she remained unmoved.
Sometimes, Mrs. Su couldn’t help but wonder, is Meng Sihan really her sister’s child? Why can her sister remain utterly indifferent, not caring at all about her son?
Afterward, Mrs. Su said some inconsequential things before planning to leave.
When leaving, she put on her sunglasses again and turned towards the door.
As one hand gripped the door handle, a hoarse voice sounded behind her, "Did you have something you wanted to say this time?"
Mrs. Su froze, not turning her head to look.
Everyone said her sister was sick, only she knew, her sister was just too clear-headed! Actually, there were many things Xu Ming understood.
"No!" Mrs. Su hesitated, feeling a bitterness in her throat.
"Hmm." Xu Ming replied with just one word.
Mrs. Su gripped the door handle tightly, walked out of the ward, and her expression grew more determined.
Regarding this person "An Yin," she must find out her identity soon, and see if she can find that person...

After class on Friday, An Yin was almost running back to the dormitory. While dragging her suitcase downstairs, whenever she’d meet a classmate, she’d say, "Going home?"
An Yin nodded in response.
She was originally supposed to work part-time tonight, but Shi Qing agreed to help her apply for leave.
She hadn’t seen her mother in a long time. This time going home, An Yin felt an urgent anticipation.
To give Ms. An a surprise, she hadn’t told her about her return home.
Arriving at the school gate, she took a bus, then a coach.
As she dragged her suitcase along the familiar street, she was brimming with joy, always wearing a slight smile, greeting familiar neighbors sweetly.
The sky gradually darkened, since there were no streetlights installed downstairs at her house, she could only proceed slowly in the dim light of the moon.
Finally arriving downstairs in the old building, An Yin looked up at the top floor, there were no lights on at home. By right, Ms. An should be cooking at this time, did Ms. An fall asleep this early?
With this in mind, An Yin dragged her suitcase, laboriously climbed up one floor at a time, finally reaching the sixth floor, breathless, she stood at her door for several seconds before taking out her keys and, as she opened the door, excitedly shouted, "Mom, I’m home..."
As the door opened, she was greeted by complete darkness inside!
An Yin carried the suitcase inside, promptly turned on the hall light, illuminating the entire hall, she closed the door stupefied, and shouted again towards Ms. An’s bedroom, "Mom..."
In the narrow space, her shout of "Mom" was particularly loud.
An Yin stepped towards Ms. An’s bedroom, pushed open the door, but it was empty, without a trace of Ms. An.
She returned to the hall, looking at the clock placed there.
Nearly seven-thirty!
A sudden thought struck her, maybe Ms. An was still working at the bookstore during this time! Remembering that she had promised not to work overtime during this period, even during the day, a shop assistant would look after the bookstore, this was all promised by Ms. An.
An Yin turned off the light and headed outside, making sure to close the door.
While going downstairs, her delicate face showed a hint of anger, her little mouth pouting, even her cheeks slightly puffed up, resembling a sulking child, with a touch of innocent charm!
