Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Soon, a charming woman alighted from the carriage.

Even as a woman, Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but marvel at her beauty.

It had to be said that the woman in front of her was really too beautiful!

Li Xiaoran had seen many handsome men and beautiful women in her life, but the woman in front of her was really charming.

“Hey, Xiaoran, you’re not allowed to look at other people like that!” Seeing this, Luo Cheng was immediately jealous.

Li Xiaoran said disapprovingly, “Husband, she’s a woman. Do you have to be jealous?”

Everyone liked delicious food.

Beauties were no exception.

Luo Cheng stared at Li Xiaoran stubbornly and said, “I don’t care. You can only look at me!”

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll only look at you. I’ll only look at you, okay?” Li Xiaoran was amused.

After the woman came down, she scanned the people in the courtyard.

The people on Li Xiaoran’s side were obviously customers who had come to eat.

On the other hand, the woman in front of her was wearing an apron, so she was probably Su Ling, who she was looking for.

“You’re Su Ling?”

Su Ling looked at the woman in front of her calmly.

“I’m Su Ling. I wonder if you’re here to eat or for something else?”

“You recognize me?” the charming woman said firmly.

Su Ling nodded without hesitation.

“I recognize him. I went to the capital to look for Luo Junkun once. At that time, he was by your side.”

As soon as she said this, everyone understood.

No wonder Su Ling looked so calm. She already knew who she was.

After Su Ling thought for a moment, she said bluntly, “I have nothing to say to you! If you’re here to eat, I welcome you! If it’s because of Luo Junkun, there’s no need! We have nothing to do with Luo Junkun!”

The charming woman never expected Su Ling to say such a thing.

To be honest, just based on Su Ling’s words, the woman in front of her was quite admirable.

She had always thought highly of herself, but if she were in Su Ling’s position, she definitely wouldn’t be as magnanimous as Su Ling.

The charming woman sighed and said, “But didn’t you give birth to a son for Luo Junkun?”

“Madam, I’m afraid you’re mistaken. My father isn’t Luo Junkun, so you don’t have to worry about a son coming back to compete with your child for the family assets! My surname is Su, and I’m a member of the Su family.” At this moment, Su Mao stood up and said, “Everyone in town knows that anyone who marries a member of the Su family, regardless of gender, will give birth to a child with the Su family’s surname and become a child of the Su family. Moreover, everyone signs a promise before getting married!”

“Other things can be faked, but this promise has to be witnessed by the mayor, county magistrate, and the local people. At the same time, the officials and the people involved each have one copy and three copies. You can investigate,” Su Mao said calmly as he looked at the woman.

His nominal father had been married for so many years, but he had never thought of his son because he knew this fact very well.

Su Mao wasn’t his child, but the Su family’s.

Even if this matter reached the emperor, it would still be carried out according to what the promise letter said.

When the charming woman heard this, she knew that it wouldn’t be easy to achieve her goal today.

“Child, no matter what, Luo Junkun is your father. You can’t refuse to acknowledge him!”

When Su Mao heard this, he immediately laughed out loud.

“At this moment, he finally wants me to be his son? Unfortunately, it’s too late!”

After Su Mao finished speaking, his expression became serious.

“Madam, I know exactly what you’re thinking and what Luo Junkun is thinking. Go back and tell Luo Junkun that since he made the choice back then, he shouldn’t regret it now. If he’s still a man, don’t backtrack. This way, I can think more highly of him!”

When the charming woman heard Su Mao’s words, she wondered if he was serious or not. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The woman suddenly said, “You have to know that if you follow your father, your future will be full of potential!”

Li Xiaoran was originally enamored by the charming woman’s looks, but the other party’s words and her schemes made her feel annoyed.

Li Xiaoran mocked, “What do you mean by having a future full of potential? How can a father who can abandon his wife and children in order to climb up the social ladder raise a good son? As the saying goes, a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. Speaking of which, Su Mao should really be glad that his father abandoned him back then. Otherwise, Su Ling would have been angered to death by him!”

As soon as she said this, the charming woman’s expression changed.

For some reason, Su Ling immediately had a bad feeling after hearing Li Xiaoran’s words.

Just as Su Ling was about to ask something, Su Mao suddenly said, “I’ve said it before. I know what he’s up to. I won’t let him have his way. My surname is Su. I’ll be a member of the Su family for the rest of my life. I have nothing to do with Luo Junkun! Madam, you should leave this place quickly! This is my house!” Su Mao wanted to chase her away.

Li Xiaoran reminded Su Mao after hearing his inner thoughts, “Su Mao, why are you still hiding things from your mother?! Your mother has experienced too many things already. Instead of hiding this matter, it’s better to explain it to her directly!”

Su Ling said coldly, “Mao’er, explain to me clearly. You’re not allowed to hide anything!”

Su Mao knew that there was no point in hiding this anymore, so he simply revealed it.

“Mother, you don’t know how shameless Luo Junkun is. He wants to cozy up to Mr. Gao, so he wants me to get adopted by the Gao family. The reason I’m unwilling to participate in the imperial examination recently is because my path has already been ruined. If I reject the Gao family, I can forget about working in the officialdom from now on!”

When Su Ling heard her son’s words, she trembled with anger.

Turning to look at the charming woman standing not far away, Su Ling questioned sternly, “Luo Junkun wants Mao’er to follow him? Why? He thinks that selling himself a few times isn’t enough, so he planns to sell his son now? I’ve really underestimated his shamelessness!”

Luo Cheng suddenly said sarcastically, “I really didn’t expect a mere Mr. Gao to be able block a young man’s future.. How impressive!”
