Chapter 387: Speak of the Devil

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shao Jingshan gave Su Qingcheng one million yuan when she left Capital City.

Despite the Shao Family’s prestige, Su Qingcheng knew that one million yuan was not a meager amount to them. After all, they were not an aristocratic family that was currently in business.

She did not have any plan to use this money. She merely accepted the money to put the master and mistress of the Shao Family at ease. When she left Capital City, she gave her parents five thousand yuan she had received from her internship. She did not have much more money aside from that.

She was always hard pressed for money. She relied on doing casual jobs to get by in life when she came to Luo Hai.

When she saw the child who had been abandoned by his parents today, Su Qingcheng felt that she could finally use that sum of money that she had set aside.

Director Li decided not to stop Su Qingcheng when she noticed that the woman was determined to adopt this abandoned baby. That young woman had a pure heart and would be a good mother.

Su Qingcheng informed Li Ji about the child’s predicament and revealed that she planned to adopt him. Li Ji contacted the best cardiologist in Luo Hai through the connections he had had over the place.

Coincidentally, the doctor who operated on the boy was Yuan Tangshuo. It was just that Su Qingcheng had yet to cross paths with the Yuan Family at that time.

Doctor Yuan was deeply moved by the child’s unfortunate life when he had discovered his past. He subsidized half of the surgical fees. He even promised that the hospital would bear the cost of the child’s recuperation after the surgery proved to be successful.

Su Qingcheng was pleasantly surprised. She used the remaining 20 million to get a pair of prosthetic legs for another girl in the orphanage who suffered from a congenital tibia defect. She also bought new bedding for the orphanage as well.

The operation was scheduled to be done in late autumn. It was extremely successful. The child recuperated for four months after the surgery and was taken home by Su Qingcheng after that.

Since she was about to take him in, Su Qingcheng decided to name the child “Su Shaoan”.

His name was Su Shaoan because she wanted to use her and Shao Yibai’s last names. This baby was born into a miserable existence, but she hoped that he could live a peaceful life now.

*

Two years later…

Su Shaoan was already four years old. Time had passed in the blink of an eye. He grew up into a strong and healthy boy after the surgery and became the greatest source of motivation for Su Qingcheng. He was also the most important individual in her mind.

Miao Hong’s child was also over three years old now. The two women frequently went out together and brought their children so that they could play with each other.

“Xiaodai, I know that you asked Li Ji to help you ask about jobs. It seems like he’s found something reliable. But I can’t believe that you chose to join the criminal police department when you could’ve gone on to be a young mistress in Capital City instead!” said Miao Hong with a puzzled look on her face.

Miao Hong had been unable to marry into the Li Family all this while. Though looking at the fact that she had given birth to a baby for Li Ji, regardless that it was a girl, it was still considered as the Li Family’s flesh and blood. That was why Miao Hong was able to feed herself even if she was not working. It was not surprising that she could not understand Su Qingcheng.

Unlike her, Su Qingcheng was in desperate need for a job to support herself.

“I’ll need to work so that I’ll have enough money to raise An An as he grows up. I can’t always rely on the Shao Family’s money since this child is someone I’ve made the decision to adopt.”

Su Qingcheng had thought this out in detail. Miao Hong was very much in awe of Su Qingcheng’s ability to categorize everything in her world so clearly.

“Speaking of the Shao Family, I’ve heard that…” Miao Hong decided not to hide it anymore when she noticed that Su Qingcheng mentioned the Shao Family on her own.

“What do you want to tell me?” Su Qingcheng’s thoughts were cut off then. To be honest, she had never forgotten Shao Yibai. A lump would always form in her throat when the word “Shao” was mentioned.

“Did you know that Shao Yibai is in Luo Hai?”

Miao Hong sighed when she saw that Su Qingcheng’s expression was changed drastically at once. “Silly girl, why must you torture yourself when you haven’t given up on him? Now that you have An An, would it make any difference if the both of you raised him together? Why would it matter if you gave birth to him or not?”

Su Qingcheng’s quivering eyelashes revealed the extremely conflicted feelings in her heart.

The woman remained silent and simply stared at Miao Hong blankly. “Hong, do you think that he’ll find me?”

Miao Hong was annoyed when she saw that Su Qingcheng looked terribly dejected. “I hope that he sinks his claws into you and presses you against on the bed…”

Miao Hong always acted innocent and pure in front of Su Qingcheng, but she actually loved making dirty jokes. Su Qingcheng blushed and acted like she wanted to hit Miao Hong when she noticed that the other woman was behaving improperly.

The two women argued for some time. Su Qingcheng let out a sigh once they had calmed down.

“It would be impossible for us to… How could we adopt a child together? Do you think that the Shao Family is just an ordinary family? Each of the last three generations only had one son. How could they willingly accept that their bloodline was going to be cut off from now on?”

Miao Hong always knew that Su Qingcheng was kind, but she never imagined that this beautiful young woman would take it to the extreme. Su Qingcheng only thought of other people all the time.

“You’re a silly girl. Why would God play tricks on you?” Miao Hong was secretly dissatisfied. However, she knew that things like these could not be forced. The thoughts merely stirred in her heart as she felt sorry for the lovers.

To her surprise, Su Qingcheng discovered the world’s fastest runner during the lantern show three days later.

This was a valid example of the saying “speak of the devil and he shall appear.”

It just so happened that Shao Yibai managed to catch hold of her while she was rescuing a victim of a crime during the lantern show…

Every time she decided to do something, a miraculous encounter would surely occurred soon after that. How incredibly annoying!

She decided to mind her own business in the future.

Su Qingcheng knew that Shao Yibai would certainly refuse to let her go now. He was bound to find her sooner or later.

Her heart was filled with panic. She had no appetite during the next few days.

She would be lying if she said that she was completely unaffected when she saw that man.

She wanted to see him, and it was not something she had known for just a day or two.

Several hundred days and nights had passed, but she thought of Shao Yibai almost every day.

She thought of Shao Yibai the most when she looked at Su Shaoan. That boy looked more and more like Shao Yibai with each passing day. Su Qingcheng could not help but lament to God. She wondered if he was truly playing with her feelings by making her adopt a little boy who looked like that man…

Li Ji had also heard that Shao Yibai became closer to the Yuan Family of Luo Hai ever since he came here. The Li Family was influential in Luo Hai, but they were no match for the Yuan Family there.

The Old Master of the Shao Family had impressive military exploits. Meanwhile, Shao Yibai had retired, but the walls of his house were filled with the military badges that he hung up there. Any other family including the Li Family could not afford to offend him.

Li Ji turned this matter over in his mind. He realized that a quarrel would no doubt ensue should Yibai discovered that he was sheltering his woman.

Li Ji was born into an aristocratic family. He had learned to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of his decisions ever since he was a child. Before Shao Yibai paid him a visit, Li Ji decided to send someone over to give Shao Yibai some hints. In other words, Li Ji had sold Su Qingcheng out.

Shao Yibai suppressed his rage this time. He did not do anything reckless.

The woman threw him over her shoulder and escaped during the lantern festival. It probably meant that she did not want to see him.

His plan would backfire if he forced her too much. What would he do if she ran away again?

She was already in Luo Hai, and he was supposed to be here for some time as well. He would try to keep her in Luo Hai first until it was time for him to leave. It would not be too late if he whisked her away along with him after that.

Shao Yibai loved the thrill of having to track someone down. Li Ji had found a job for Su Qingcheng while that woman had gotten herself caught up with Mu Chenyan. No matter what, it was impossible for her to flee from Luo Hai now.

He never imagined that this thrilling adventure would last for almost half a year before he discovered Su Shaoan’s existence. This man could not remain calm anymore.

He should have been happy to be a father, but he was upset instead!

“Su Qingcheng, I demand an explanation!” The man’s heart felt as free as a grassy field now. He had spent several years waiting miserably for this woman…
