Chapter 1377: Chapter 1377: Eternity at a Glance
Additionally, Liu Juan and Liang Shuzhen’s knock-off store located opposite the Su family’s house was sealed by the public security organs, and all those slanderous and denigrating remarks they had connected with the media to make, never even got a chance to appear before being directly suppressed by Zhou Hengyang.
It wasn’t until after Liu Juan got divorced, destitute and with nowhere to turn, that she came begging to Su Wen and found out about all of this.
Upon learning the truth, Su Wen naturally did not give her a warm welcome.
For Liu Juan, Su Wen not taking revenge was already a mercy, but she definitely would not show undue kindness.
Liu Juan thought that as long as she lowered her pride and showed the sisterly affection from the past, she would surely receive the forgiveness of the Su sisters. Now, the whole country knows the astounding wealth and connections that the Su sisters hold in their hands.
Being their Auntie, with that family tie, even a random bit slipping through the sisters’ fingers would be enough for her to live comfortably.
Externally, she could also continue her upscale life by relying on this status.
But as astute as Liu Juan’s calculations were, she did not expect Su Wen’s tactics to completely cut off her foolish dreams.
Far from making a comeback, she became even more desolate, begging everywhere and being despised wherever she went.
Those who she once looked down upon, were now stepping all over her.
What made Liu Juan most intolerable was that even her own daughter looked down on her and left her.
Her daughter, whom she tried hard to send abroad to study, scrimping and saving, once she saw her reputation ruined and that she had no money or status to rely on, abandoned her without hesitation.
She showed up at her doorstep, only to be driven away.
Unable to bear the blow, she quickly fell ill, and died in a rented house after just a few months.
Her ex-husband took care of the funeral after her death.
***
Liu Juan’s death didn’t attract anyone’s attention; it passed quietly. For the Su sisters, even if they knew, they would not have paid attention, as all their thoughts were on Su Wen.
Big sister was finally going to give birth.
Everyone rushed back from their various locations.
Su Xue, who was studying in the Capital.
Su Qing, who was busy traveling across the country on business trips to expand the Su family’s business.
And Su Xiu, whose bakery and confectionery shop had already opened and was doing increasingly well, put everything aside and stayed by Su Wen’s side early on, personally taking on the role of the housekeeper, directing everyone in a flurry of activity.
The current Su Xiu was no longer the once honest and shy third sister of the Su family.
Now a boss with her own business and plans to open another chain, Su Xiu became confident, poised, and organized, but still retained her initial hardworking, sincere, and honest traits.
Her marriage with He Changming was also settled.
The wedding is set for National Day.
For Su Xiu’s wedding, Su Wen also took a lot of care, even starting preparations while pregnant. The event is to be grandly and specially held in both the city and Black Eagle village. It’s also making up for the deep regret in her own heart.
For her, missing out on the wedding with Zhou Hengyang was the greatest regret in her heart.
But Su Wen is a free-spirited person and doesn’t dwell on the past.
Seeing the third sister, once the most miserable ending in the original book, as the first to find happiness, she is happier than anyone else could be.
Beyond that, He Changming also hurried over for the birth of big sister’s child, joining everyone in welcoming the arrival of the new life as the future live-in son-in-law.
He now has the approval of the Su sisters and has become a part of the Su family.
Although not exactly a live-in son-in-law, there was no real difference. Actually, Su Xiu and He Changming had discussed it privately—Su Xiu was insistent on taking in a live-in husband just like big sister, and He Changming was willing for Su Xiu’s sake.
Although He Changming was the only son of his family.
When Su Wen found out, for the first time, she exercised her authority as the head of the household, severely scolded the two, and personally met with He Changming’s parents to express her family’s wishes, making it clear that He Changming would not become a live-in son-in-law.
This made He Changming’s parents truly happy and they started treating Su Xiu as their own beloved daughter.
The person in the family who currently gave Su Wen the most worry was Su Qing.
That girl was really too stubborn.
It was clear she liked Zhou Hengguang, but she just couldn’t forgive him or admit it.
Dragging it out like this, leaving everyone powerless, everything that could be said had been said, all advice given, yet to no avail.
Su Wen was not one to force issues, especially not when it came to others’ feelings.
But Su Wen knew that Su Qing would definitely regret it.
Living a clear life herself, Su Wen did not like those who act contrived and twisty with their feelings—in her eyes, that’s just creating drama and bringing discomfort upon oneself.
If Su Qing wasn’t her sister, she wouldn’t bother to intervene.
“You will regret it.”
Su Wen said with absolute certainty.
But Su Wen didn’t believe it, lacking even the curiosity and questioning, she simply made up her mind to give Su Qing a lesson.
Beyond that, Zhou Yan’s family also came.
And from the Capital, Song Jingxian and her daughter Xiaoya, who came in Song Jinyan’s special car.
The Su family was already keeping a low profile, but the scene inevitably became quite large, unable to be understated.
Three hours later, Su Wen safely gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and the newborns immediately received everyone’s blessings and expectations.
“Wife, you’ve worked hard.” Zhou Hengyang stayed by the bedside, his deep eyes brimming with indulgence and love, almost drowning her in it. He gently held Su Wen’s hand, carefully cradling it in his palm and couldn’t help but smile.
“It wasn’t hard,” Su Wen shook her head.
“Do you regret it?”
“Regret what?” Zhou Hengyang asked, puzzled.
“Regret being my live-in husband?” Su Wen asked herself, struggling to hold back laughter; she always liked to tease Zhou Hengyang about his status as a live-in husband.
But Zhou Hengyang instead looked at her seriously, “The thing I am most grateful for in this life is to be your live-in husband. The Su family is my home. My name is Su Hengyang.”
“Hahaha…”
Su Wen laughed happily, but being too weak, she quickly lost strength and leaned softly in Zhou Hengyang’s arms.
The two locked gazes, and a single glance was eternal.
