Chapter 193:193, Spend Money Like Water
All Jiang Yi could say was, “The incident in the hospital the other day was caught by reporters on the scene. If it weren’t for the Xing Family’s efforts to smoothen things out, the news would have had a significant negative impact on both families. Especially given that your father is undergoing evaluation for a formal bureau position, all eyes in the Broadcasting Bureau are on him. If news about you comes out at this time…
“So for Dad to become bureau chief and for his career, did you unconditionally agree to Xing Family’s demand? My divorce with Yun brother is not enough? Now to send me to South Korea?” Su Yanyan could not believe that her father, who had cared for her dearly since childhood, would treat her like this.
“Yanyan, this is the best decision we could negotiate. Plus, South Korea is close to home, and I can visit you each month. I could even live with you over there…”
“I won’t!” Su Yanyan sobbed loudly, “I have never left home since I was little. I don’t know Korean, and my English isn’t good, I don’t want to go, Mom, I really don’t want to go….”
Her cell phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Yi picked up the phone, “Sis.”
After ending the call, she got up and said, “I will have Aunt Yang packyour luggage in a while. I need to go downstairs now.”
Hearing this, Su Yanyan raised her foot and kicked all the suitcases on the side to the floor.

Downstairs in the living room.
Su Xueqin was reading a newspaper in his wheelchair.
“Dad.” Jiang Yi called out.
Su Xueqin didn’t react.
Jiang Yi squeezed her hand and walked over to say, “My sister just called me. She said your phone is unreachable. She found Wanwan at school and talked to her about having dinner together tomorrow, but Wanwan declined. She also said….”
“Bang.”
The newspaper was thrown on the floor, making quite a loud noise.
Jiang Yi was frightened into silence.
-What else did she say?” Su Xueqin’s voice was cold and stern.
Jiang Yi quickly said, “She also said, no matter how she lives in the future, she will never return to this home.”
Hearing this, Su Xueqin’s old face tightened instantly. His hand gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly, turning pale and then blue due to force.
Jiang Yi looked at the old man’s expression and added, “The Huo Family was present at the hospital that day. Although Wanwan got the marriage certificate a while ago, the Huo Family has never come to our home, and then this incident happened…”
Some things are better left unsaid.
Su Xueqin’s lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes, behind his reading glasses, were sharp and deep. No one knew what he was thinking.

The next day was Su Xueqin’s birthday. It also happened to be Teachers’ Day.
In the morning, just after two classes, Su Wanwan received a call from Mo
Weiyi.
They met at the entrance of the school cafeteria ten minutes later.
The Little Princess was still dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, with Rong
An trailing not far behind in black.
-Why did you come to school today?” Su Wanwan was curious.
“Isn’t there a Teacher’s Day gala this afternoon? I was bored at home, so I came
to watch.”
“The gala doesn’t start until 3 pm. Why are you here so early?
“I came to have lunch with you.” Mo Weiyi affectionately took her arm, “I’m getting tired of eating Jiang Aunt’s food at home every day. The chopped pepper fish head in the small cafeteria upstairs is so delicious. I hurried over here. It just opens for business at eleven.”
“Are you serious?” Su Wanwan laughed.
A princess who could get anything she wanted was actually craving a dish from the campus’s little cafeteria?
“It tastes really good. Have you not tried it before, Wanwan? Let’s go, it’s on
me.”
Su Wanwan rarely had a chance to eat in the cafeteria. She would usually just queue up downstairs and bring food back to her dorm.
But today, entering the upstairs cafeteria, she found a different world. The small cafeteria was decorated in an ancient style. It was clean and tidy, with waitstaff, almost like a restaurant outside.
The main offering was Hunan cuisine. Stepping in, a strong smell of chili hit their noses, a smell that never failed to provoke the appetite.
As soon as Mo Weiyi sat down, she started ordering enthusiastically, “I want chopped pepper fish head, dry pot frog, boiled pork slices, sticky rice ribs, organic cauliflower, blueberry yam…”
“That’s enough, stop.” Su Wanwan quickly stopped her.
Indeed a tycoon, even for a mere lunch, she had to splurge money as if eating a lavish feast.
“And a jug of freshly squeezed papaya juice,” Mo Weiyi added.
“Can we not have papaya juice today?” Su Wanwan made a face, “I haven’t finished the ones you sent last time.”
“Then honey passion fruit juice, if not for breast enhancement, let’s nourish our skin, brighten and whiten it. Women should treat themselves better!””
Su Wanwan:”…”
Soon, the first dish of blueberry yam was served. Su Wanwan had just taken a bite when her phone suddenly rang.
■■Wanwan,” Mrs. Huo’s voice came through the receiver, “I will be at the school gate soon. Get ready and rush over to accompany us to the hospital.” Su Wanwan was taken aback, “What’s wrong, Grandma? Who’s sick?” “It’s your grandfather. His heart disease suddenly flared up, and he’s being treated at the hospital.”
Su Wanwan hung up the phone and quickly stood up, Weiyi, I can t eat with you.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I have an emergency and need to go to the hospital.’
-Who’s sick? I’ll go with you!” Mo Weiyi put down her chopsticks as she spoke. “NO need, you injured your foot so it’s not convenient. My grandmother and the others have come to pick me up.” Su Wanwan didn’t have time to explain, “I must go now, I may not be able to accompany you for the gala this afternoon..”
