Chapter 118 The Daughter of the Female Lead in the Pampered Novel 7
Su Su turned around and took a closer look.
The familiar smile remained unchanged, except that many fine wrinkles had appeared on her face.
Su Su couldn't help but smile, "Class teacher, it's been so long!"
"Su Su, it's been a long time! You've grown so beautiful."
Class teacher Yan Li looked Su Su up and down, nodding repeatedly.
"Why are you still walking on the road so late? I've always told you not to stay out alone at night."
Seeing Su Su's obedient appearance, the homeroom teacher couldn't help but start nagging again.
Seeing Su Su listening attentively, he felt a surge of relief.
"Come to my place! My house is nearby."
"Will this be too much trouble for you?"
Su Su really didn't want to trouble the old lady in front of her, but she noticed the thick black aura on the old lady's forehead.
Su Su's heart clenched, and sorrow surged forth like a tidal wave.
Yan Li grabbed Su Su's wrist and started walking towards home.
"How could it be troublesome! You've been to the teacher's house before, why are you so unfamiliar with it now?"
Yan Li naturally started talking about Su Su's childhood and her current life.
Knowing that Su Su was doing well, Yan Li didn't even smile.
"If you're doing well in the big city, don't come back!" Yan Li patted Su Su's hand.
"Ok!"
When Yan left home, she warmly invited Su Su to sit down and asked if Su Su was hungry, saying she wanted to cook noodles for her!
Su Su shook her head.
So they started chatting about everyday things again, and Su Su recalled the original owner's memories. In her memories, she had always lived in this place, but she had never seen Yan Li again.
She was one of the few people in her memory who had been kind to her; how could she forget them?
The original owner was unaware.
However, Su Su could see clearly that Yan Li had cancer, and it was the incurable kind.
Before long, when she becomes too weak to manage, her patriarchal family will seize her house and ultimately harm her to death.
Su Su touched Yan Li's forehead, making a grasping motion with her hand.
Yan Li did not stop her, but looked at Su Su with a puzzled expression. Then she felt her body relax.
I felt much refreshed and younger all of a sudden.
She looked at Su Su in surprise, and finally just said thank you.
"Actually, I'm very curious, why is Teacher Yan so kind to me?"
At that time, the original owner was pitiful but also insecure, starving to the point of being unable to play the victim.
Some teachers adhered to the principle of not causing trouble, while others who wanted to do good deeds were secretly warned by Su Jingtian and Qin Yiyi, and were even less willing to get close to the original owner.
However, Yan Li was different; she always took care of the original owner.
"Actually, seeing you reminds me of my past self, just as tenacious, like a blade of grass."
Yan Li's eyes were filled with boundless joy as she gazed at Su Su.
She was born into that old and traditional family as the eldest daughter.
But instead of anticipation and joy, they were filled with longing for the arrival of a boy.
She was like a seed left behind in a corner; though allowed to stay, it was only so that she could become a source of labor for the family in the future.
Her family barely provided her with a few bites to fill her stomach, coldly waiting for her to grow up so that she could contribute to the family.
They even planned to sell her and use her dowry to gain more benefits for the boys in their family.
She had always been aware of her tragic fate in this family, and resentment surged within her like a tidal wave, yet she felt powerless to break free.
She often resented herself for having to hear the teacher describe the outside world in class.
The wonder and freedom of the outside world made it even harder for her to accept her bound fate.
However, after graduating from junior high school, dropping out of school became her predetermined path, either to go out and work to supplement the family income or to get married early in exchange for a dowry.
But she was unwilling to give up. Perhaps fate finally showed a sliver of pity, and a group of kind-hearted people came to the village and decided to sponsor girls like her to continue their education.
She seized the opportunity and tried her best to persuade her parents, earnestly saying that a higher education would bring more money back to her younger brother.
The parents hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing, largely because the sponsor came in person to persuade them.
Sparkling and dazzling, rich and captivating.
They thought she could also make a lot of money to give to her brother.
However, high school life was not smooth sailing. At school, she was bullied because of her poor background and stubborn personality.
The malicious ridicule and unwarranted exclusion followed her like a shadow. When she fought back, the people around her regarded her as an oddball and contemptuously called her a madwoman.
But so what.
She made it out successfully; with the help of her benefactor, she escaped her misery.
Thinking of this, Yan Li couldn't help but look at Su Su, her thoughts drifting back to the first time she met Su Su.
What she found most unforgettable were Su Su's eyes, clear and bright, like stars twinkling in the night sky, and more importantly, they were filled with hope.
So when she saw Su Su in that situation, she couldn't suppress her urge to help Su Su.
Even after Su Su left that small town, she always worried about her safety and happiness.
She had spent so much energy on Su Su that she had long regarded her as her own daughter.
So when I followed my heart and was walking outside at night, the moment I saw Su Su, I was filled with overwhelming joy and concern.
Su Su looked at Yan Li, her eyes sparkling with emotion and affection. Following her heart, she gently stepped forward, stretched out her arms, and tenderly hugged Yan Li, whispering, "Thank you!"
That night, Su Su stayed at Yan Li's house.
The subtle scent of lavender filling the room naturally relaxes the mind.
No sleep for one night.
The next morning, as sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, Su Su was packing her things, preparing to say goodbye to Yan Li and leave.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Yan Li, who couldn't help but nag, paused slightly, glanced at Su Su subconsciously, and got up and walked towards the door after Su Su shook her head in confusion.
Yan Li slowly opened the door, only to see a strange man standing there. The morning sunlight shone on his face, but it did little to warm him; his expression carried a hint of urgency and arrogance.
"Hello! Who are you looking for?" Yan Li asked calmly, her gaze falling indifferently on the person who had come.
"Hello, I'm here to see Su Su! She and I are a couple!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Li couldn't help but frown slightly. Her gaze sharpened as she began to scrutinize the man who claimed to be Su Su's lover.
Under Yan Li's critical gaze, Li Shize subconsciously straightened his back, swung his expensive watch on his wrist, and tried to show off his superiority and wealth.
However, a minute or two passed, and Yan Li remained standing quietly at the door, making no move to let him in.
Li Shize's patience was wearing thin. Looking at the indifferent old lady in front of him, he felt a surge of inexplicable anger and couldn't help but urge her, "Hello, I really have something urgent to discuss with Su Su. Please let me in."
Hearing the noise at the door, Su Su walked over with a puzzled look in her eyes: "What's wrong? Why are you standing at the door?"
"Ah Su, long time no see!" When Li Shize saw Su Su appear, a smile that he thought was charming immediately appeared on his face, and his voice rose a few decibels, trying to convey the joy and intimacy of a long-awaited reunion.
"Hmm..." Su Su responded faintly, but a strange light flashed deep in her eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly realized something about Li Shize, the boyfriend who was supposedly very doting on the original owner of her memories.
No wonder the original owner was unwilling to reconcile with her boyfriend deep down. Besides not wanting to drag Li Shize down with her predicament, the more important reason was that she always felt something was off when she was with him.
Every interaction, every little detail of their time together, lacked the familiarity and naturalness that couples should have; instead, it was filled with an indescribable stiffness and distance.
However, the original owner was betrayed by her family and didn't want to owe Li Shize anything, but inexplicably ended up owing him a favor.
The original owner wanted to keep their distance, but that was no longer possible.
I'll be entangled with this system strategist for the rest of my life.
Everyone wants to steal the female lead's luck!
Su Su kept smiling, but she really wanted to punch the greasy Li Shize!
But with Yan Li here, she could only smile, which was truly frustrating.
