Chapter 119 Let her taste the bitterness
Inside the room, Old Master Su sat alone in a chair.
He held the old lady's photo tightly in his hand; the edges of the photo were slightly curled from being rubbed.
His gaze was fixed on the photograph, his cloudy eyes filled with tears.
Tears welled up in his eyes, then slowly slid down the wrinkles on his cheeks and dripped onto the photograph.
He gazed lovingly at the photograph of his long-deceased lover, lost in memories of the past.
There was a reason why Grandpa Su favored Su Yingxue so much: in his eyes, Su Yingxue looked remarkably like his wife.
Especially those eyes, they looked like they were made from the same mold.
Su Yingxue gently pushed open the door and entered the room.
Her footsteps were very light, as if she was afraid of disturbing her grandfather's longing.
She walked straight to Grandpa Su's side, slowly squatted down, and her skirt spread gracefully on the ground.
She reached out her hand, her hands fair and slender, and gently straightened Grandpa Su's collar.
Her fingers carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on her collar, her movements gentle and meticulous, full of care and filial piety for her grandfather.
Then, she smiled and said to Grandpa Su, "Grandpa, let me push you out to see the banquet decorations, they're so beautiful."
Tan Zhengchu stood quietly not far away, his gaze fixed on Su Yingxue taking care of Old Master Su.
Looking at Su Yingxue's focused expression and gentle actions, he couldn't help but feel moved.
At that moment, I felt that she was like a warm sun, radiating warmth and comfort to those around her without reservation.
Without further hesitation, Tan Zhengchu walked steadily to Su Yingxue's side.
He bent slightly, his posture upright and elegant, his eyes filled with concern.
He first nodded gently to Su Yingxue, then looked at Grandpa Su and said sincerely, "Grandpa, let me push you."
He reached out and gripped the wheelchair handle; the muscles in his arm were slightly tense, showing his strength.
Su Yingxue slightly turned to the side, making room for him.
The two smiled at each other, and then Tan Zhengchu slowly pushed the wheelchair toward the banquet hall.
The room where Grandpa Su lived was located next to the study on the first floor, a very convenient location.
As soon as you step outside, you can take in the bustling hall.
Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue carefully pushed Grandpa Su slowly into the hall.
When Grandma Tan saw Grandpa Su come out, her eyes were full of excitement, and she quickly went to greet him.
She waved gently, signaling the seven children behind her to follow.
Then he walked steadily toward Grandpa Su.
The seven children, like seven cheerful little birds, hopped and skipped behind Grandma Tan, their little faces beaming with innocent smiles.
Upon arriving in front of Grandpa Su, the seven children quickly lined up, each one looking energetic.
They shouted in unison, "Great-Grandpa, hello!"
The sound was clear and resonant, like silver bells echoing in the hall.
The child's innocent voice, filled with respect for his great-grandfather, brought smiles to everyone's faces.
Liu Bao blinked his bright and lively eyes and grinned as he approached Grandpa Su.
Then, tilting her little head, she said, "Great-Grandpa, you look so radiant today! Just like an old immortal in a story, you're glowing all over!"
As Liu Bao spoke, he exaggeratedly gestured with his little hands.
Grandpa Su was amused by Liu Bao's cute and playful appearance and burst into laughter.
He reached out and gently patted Liu Bao's head.
The wrinkles on his face deepened with his smile as he said, "You little rascal, you have such a sweet tongue!"
Su Yingqing stood by the railing on the second floor, her figure graceful yet exuding a coldness.
She crossed her arms and stared coldly at the cozy scene downstairs.
His heart was filled with mixed emotions, and the fire of jealousy burned fiercely in his chest.
She bit her lower lip, her face terribly grim, silently pondering:
Su Yingxue, you are just an outsider, why are you so favored in the Su family?
The old man has always been cold to me, but he is so affectionate to you and your child. In what way am I inferior to you?
I've admired Tan Zhengchu since I was a child; he should have been my partner.
But you interfered and firmly captured his heart.
I won't let this go. I'll make you pay the price and take back everything that belongs to me.
Su Yingqing's cousin, Shen Languang, stood to the side, her eyes also flashing with jealousy.
Looking down at Su Yingxue's family enjoying themselves, she felt a deep resentment.
She echoed Su Yingqing, her tone dripping with sarcasm: "That's right, cousin, what makes her better than us? She's just good at putting on airs."
Shen Languang was also wondering: Su Yingxue is not exactly a stunning beauty, so why does she receive so much love and attention?
Her children were all well-behaved and adorable, as if all good fortune had descended upon her.
And I could only watch longingly from the sidelines; it was so unfair.
Upon hearing this, Su Yingqing's anger intensified.
She said fiercely, "Lan Guang, we have to find a way to deal with her child and make her taste the bitterness of life."
A sly glint flashed in Shen Languang's eyes, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Shen Languang's gaze was suddenly drawn to Tan Zhengchu, who was passing by downstairs.
She blurted out, "Cousin, Tan Zhengchu should have been yours back then, but Su Yingxue snatched him away."
Upon hearing this, Su Yingqing felt a surge of resentment welling up inside her.
His hands were clenched into fists so tightly that his fingernails dug deep into his palms.
Her body trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the anger and pain in her heart.
She roared in her heart: Su Yingxue, you stole my happiness, I will make you pay the price.
Shen Languang has always been jealous of Su Yingxue.
She always felt that she was much prettier than Su Yingxue, so why did no one like her?
Especially seeing Tan Zhengchu, so handsome and dashing, someone they should have been able to reach, yet Su Yingxue beat them to it.
This jealousy gradually turned into malice towards Su Yingxue and her child.
She followed Su Yingqing's instructions and decided to deal with Su Yingxue's child properly.
Thinking of this, Shen Languang quietly walked downstairs to a corner of the hall and observed Su Yingxue from a distance.
Seeing their family so happy and harmonious...
A surge of anger welled up inside her, and she let out a soft snort.
Shen Languang thought to himself: Why are you so happy? I am much better than Su Yingxue. I will destroy your happiness and make you taste the bitterness of pain.
Shen Languang patiently waited for his opportunity.
She was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.
Finally, she saw the two little ones, Da Bao and Liu Bao, sneak away from the adults and head towards the food area.
These two little ones had their own plans. At home, their mommy and great-grandmother were very strict with them, so they were going to have a good meal today.
Upon seeing this, Shen Languang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
She slowly followed.
