Chapter 21.2 – Good Night

Suddenly, a row of swans flew up, bathing in the rays of the setting sun. Seeing that Su Yan suddenly remembered something and said to Bai Xingfan, “Mr. Bai, just wait for me.” After she finished speaking, she stood up from the chair, hurriedly ran back to the bedroom, and returned to the balcony holding a wooden box.

“Mmm…you sent me a wedding gift. It’s better to return it because the marriage didn’t happen.” Su Yan said this while giving Bai Xingfan the box.

She had already returned the gifts and money her friends and relatives gave her, and only Bai Xingfan was left.

Bai Xingfan sat without moving. “Are my wishes worthless, Miss Su?” Bai Xingfan’s face became darker.

[TL Notes: Bai Xingfan gave Su Yan some gifts and said he would fulfil three of her wishes as her wedding gift before Su Yan was abandoned by Xie Yu.]

Su Yan was taken aback by Bai Xingfan’s question. “I didn’t mean that, I…” she tried to explain.

“Then keep it with you.” Bai Xingfan interrupted her.

Su Yan was helpless, lowered her head, and muttered in a low voice. “I don’t have any wishes now.”

Bai Xingfan: “Then wait until you have.”

“Really, any wish is okay?” Su Yan glanced at Bai Xingfan from the corner of her eyes and asked curiously.

“Of course,” he said. ‘Even if you want the stars or the moon, I am willing to pick them for you.’

Su Yan didn’t believe Bai Xingfan would be that generous. “If I want Xie Yu to reconcile with me, you can do it too.”

Bai Xingfan’s face darkened like the bottom of a pot. He stood up from the chair, walked into the bedroom without looking back, and slammed the balcony door with a bang.

Su Yan: “…”

Actually, Su Yan didn’t have a single thought of reconciling with Xie Yu again. Even if he begged on his knees, she would never look at him. She just said to check Bai Xingfan’s thoughts. Sighing, she looked down at the box in her hand again—since Bai Xingfan didn’t want it, then keep it for now.

Bai Xingfan went to the airport early the next morning to take the flight to New York.

When Su Yan woke up, Bai Xingfan was no longer at home. She didn’t know whether it was because of yesterday night’s incident or that he had to catch the flight early in the morning.

Since Bai Xingfan left, the permanent residents of this manor had become Su Yan and her mother, which made Su Yan very embarrassed and once again felt like a dove occupying a magpie’s nest.

She searched for suitable hotels and even houses to rent short-term in order to move as soon as possible. However, she was very unlucky and couldn’t find a suitable one to her satisfaction.

Fortunately, her father did not disappoint her. A week after his wife, daughter, and son ran away from home, Comrade Su Jianan finally resolved the problems.

One afternoon a week later, Su Yan was sitting cross-legged on the carpet next to the tea table, writing a script, while her mother, Liu Xiang, was sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet, watching a drama. Suddenly, Su Yan’s mobile phone vibrated, disturbing both mother and daughter. Su Yan picked it up and saw that it was her father who was calling.

“Mom, Dad is calling,” she panickedly said to her mother.

Liu Xiang quickly took off the headset and said  “Quickly answer, turn on the speakerphone!”

“Yeah!” Su Yan also put down her Mac notebook, pressed the answer button, and turned on the speakerphone.

“Yanyan, where is your mother?” Su Jianan asked anxiously.

“Didn’t I tell you that day? If you can’t solve the problem, don’t search for our mother,” Su Yan said while looking at her mother.

Su Jianan hurriedly said: “I solved it! Really solved it!”

Su Yan was overjoyed but suppressed her excitement and asked calmly, “How did you solve it?”

Su Jianan sighed. “Your grandma won’t be staying with us anymore, she’s going to your uncle’s house.”

Su Yan couldn’t hide her emotions, and she cheered happily, asking, “Really?”

Su Jianan was helpless. “Why do I want to lie to you? Hey, your grandmother looked after you for so many years. Aren’t you sad?”

“Why should I be sad? I was beaten and scolded by her a lot when I was a child!” Su Yan scolded her father angrily.

Su Jianan: “She is also your grandma! Look at what you said that day, is it appropriate? Grandma almost fainted from anger. ”

Su Yan: “My mother almost fainted from grandma’s anger!”

Su Jianan sighed again. “Alright, alright, let’s stop talking about past things. How is your mother?”

Su Yan didn’t reply and gave the phone to her mother after her father’s question.

Liu Xiang didn’t have a smile on her face like Su Yan’s. “Did you send your mother there on your own initiative, or did she go by herself?” she asked indifferently.

‘Oh… I didn’t think about that. Anyway, since grandmother is going from their house, it doesn’t matter,’ Su Yan thought happily.

Su Jianan didn’t give a straight answer but played a sloppy eye: “Oh, my mother has already left, so don’t worry about it.”

Liu Xiang: “You don’t want to care about it! Tell me, how much did you promise to give them?”

Su Yan was taken aback again because she didn’t think about that point.

“It’s not much, after all, it’s for my old lady. I should support her,” Su Jianan said sadly.

However, he couldn’t convince Liu Xiang. “How much is it? Ten thousand or twenty thousand?” she asked in a firm voice.

Su Jianan had no choice but to tell the truth. “Thirty thousand.”

“Thirty thousand?” Su Yan and her mother were very surprised.
