    63: Chapter 63 Where do I even start?


    Su Lu was in the midst of popping crispy chips into her mouth when she heard the remarks and her fingers froze.


    The chips fell from her fingertips, and she didn’t bother to pick them up.


    “See you on Monday?”


    “It’s…


    an expression from the inte.” Xu Ning thought she didn’t understand the meaning of the phrase and exined.


    Su Lu, “I know what it means, but how could this happen to Chen Yaxi?”


    Su Lu meant no disrespect toward Chen Yaxi, but to speak frankly, Chen Yaxi was just a minor model.


    Even with some fame, she was not at the level where people would say ‘see you on Monday.’


    “Besides, Gu Xin wouldn’t just sit by and watch,” Su Lu added.


    The outside world might not know, but Su Lu was very aware that Chen Yaxi and Gu Xin had registered their marriage and were legal spouses, with the heir of the Gu Family in her belly.


    No matter what, the Gu Family wouldn’t just ignore it.


    Xu Ning nodded, “Yes, but I heard that this time she was specifically targeted.


    I’m not sure about the details, but since there are such rumors, there must be some reason behind it, and the implications could be significant.”


    Su Lu felt a vague sense of foreboding but couldn’t quite articte it just yet.


    After some thought, she decided to send WeChat to Gu Xin to express her concern.


    Thinking of Qiao Li’s matter, she didn’t forget to tell Xu Ning, “There might be someone from my brothering to help me, which will ease your burden.


    Please organize the data for those projects you’re piled up with, and I’ll have him take over.”


    Xu Ning was nearly moved to tears.


    She wasn’t too ambitious and didn’t n to monopolize all the projects to boost her own achievements.


    She knew how to live wisely, aiming just to learn from her work and handle a volume within her energy range was more than sufficient.


    “Boss, I love you.” Xu Ning’s lips were smeared with a ring of oil from eating sesame balls, which looked unexpectedlyical.


    Su Lu watched this and started tough.


    By the afternoon, she still hadn’t received a reply from Gu Xin, and Su Lu worried that this time he was really in over his head.


    Mainly because Su Lu considered that this incident was very likely, possibly…


    Involved Su Zhe, who was cunning, a fact Su Lu was well aware of.


    Ah, she still needed to persuade her brother.


    Although she hadn’t heard from Gu Xin by the afternoon, an unexpected visitor had arrived.


    Su Lu was a bit surprised at the middle-aged woman walking into her office.


    “Howe you’re here?”


    Su Lu held back a certain address, as until not long ago, out of courtesy, she would have to call this woman “mom.”


    Because the elegant woman before her was Gu Xin’s mother, Xue Xian.


    Since she and Gu Xin were no longer legally rted, the title didn’t seem quite right, so Su Lu added, “Aunt Xue.”


    Xue Xian smiled, a smile that seemed a bit stiff and awkward, probably feeling that meeting in such capacities now made many things different.


    “Yes, I just wanted toe and see you,” Xue Xian said, pointing at the door, “I brought you some nourishment.


    Make sure to eat it; I noticed you’ve lost weight.


    Also, I heard you had a close call in Hai City?


    You really need to take good care of yourself.”


    “Thank you, Auntie, you went through the trouble; I’ll remember to eat it,” Su Lu said warmly.


    Xue Xian looked at her, sighing inwardly.


    She was always like this, gentle, graceful, courteous in every aspect.


    To be honest, Xue Xian initially wasn’t very satisfied with the Su Family as inws, since Su Yukan was too opportunistic, Zhu Xinyan was too trivial, and, ultimately, it was the case of elevating a mistress to a legitimate position.


    It undoubtedly made it difficult for Xue Xian, a wife from a prestigious family with an official wedding, to approve.


    When her husband said he wanted to arrange such a marriage for their son, Xue Xian’s heart had a hundred objections.


    It was only after she met Su Lu and spent time with her that Xue Xian’s resistance began to dissipate.


    Because Su Lu really was someone who made you feelfortable to be around.


    She didn’te across as opportunistic or rude, everything was just right.


    Apart from theck of affection with Gu Xin, Xue Xian could hardly find any faults in her.


    She was extremely satisfied with this daughter-inw.


    If it really came down to it, the Gu Family were all quite satisfied with Su Lu, otherwise they wouldn’t have cooperated with the Su Family on so many projects during their marriage.


    It was said to be in consideration of the Su Family, but in reality, it was mostly for Su Lu.


    And now, such a good daughter-inw was lost, with the fault lying on her own son, and the two had no property disputes, no children, and not even much emotional attachment.


    As a result, when they divorced, Xue Xian and Gu Changlin couldn’t really say much.


    They just couldn’t find the words.


    Xue Xian was a picky high-societydy to begin with, let alone having had Su Lu as a daughter-inw, a gem in her eyes.


    She really disapproved of Chen Yaxi, scrutinizing every detail with displeasure.


    Every aspect of Chen Yaxi was a w in her eyes.


    Xue Xian despised Chen Yaxi’s unrespectable profession, despised that she got involved with Gu Xin during his marriage, viewing her as the worst kind of mistress a distinguished wife could disdain.


    And she even got pregnant before marriage!


    The more Xue Xian thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling more and more it was such a pity, having had such a good daughter-inw, only for it to fall apart.


    She watched as Su Lu skillfully served her favorite tea, which she had prepared herself.


    Xue Xian sighed, “Ah!”


    Su Lu asked gently, “Is something wrong?


    Is there anything I can help with?”


    Xue Xian picked up the cup, quickly put it down, and then took Su Lu’s hand.


    Su Lu was taken aback and turned her hand over to gently pat the back of Xue Xian’s hand, reassuring, “Aunt, just say it.”


    Xue Xian stared at her earnestly, hesitating for a moment before asking seriously, “Xiaolu,”


    “Mhm, I’m here.”


    “Could you perhaps…” Xue Xian bit her lip, hesitating, obviously troubled.


    Su Lu thought she might havee because of the issue with Chen Yaxi and was hesitant to speak up due to saving face, so prepared to bring up the subject herself.


    Unexpectedly…


    After Xue Xian bit her lip, her resolve seemed to strengthen, and she said earnestly, “Xiaolu, can you forgive our Axin?”


    Su Lu: “…”


    Su Lu’s mind first filled with question marks, followed immediately by exmation marks!


    What was this all about?!


    She never expected this.


    She initially thought that Gu Xin had already pacified his family, but it seemed that might not be the case.


    However… she couldn’t really me Gu Xin for this, since in the matter of their divorce, she hadn’t managed to pacify Su Yukan either.


    “Aunt, this…” Su Lu, somewhat helpless, said, “Where do I even start?”


    Having started the conversation, it wasn’t difficult for Xue Xian to continue, her tone even bing somewhat urgent, “Axin’s father and I are both very pleased with you!


    It’s true that Gu Xin was at fault!


    We failed in our upbringing and wronged you.


    Please forgive him this once.


    I have some shares in Gu Family industries in my name, and properties in several cities.


    If you can forgive Axin, all of these I will leave to you!


    I really… can’t bear to part with you.”
