After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 247 It’s better to meet than to be famous
The young girl's unconventional remarks earned her a good scolding from Tan Ci.

If Liu Guixiang hadn't been quick-witted and stopped Tan Ci, Su Xianyun would probably have been beaten up in the street by now.

As a child, Su Xianyun had her lifespan stolen by a thief, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. At this moment, she still felt like a child in her coma. Seeing her mother speaking so harshly and raising her hand to hit her, she was already terrified and her eyes turned red. Because of her fear, she dared not cry.

Tears fell silently, one after another.

While comforting his daughter, Su Wenheng couldn't help but steal glances at Tan Ci out of the corner of his eye.

Although laughing out loud at this moment would likely jeopardize the father-daughter relationship and even provoke Tan Ci's violent treatment, Su Wenheng still couldn't control himself, and his shoulders twitched.

It was supposed to be a chilly spring day, and today was an exceptionally cold one, but Su Wenheng felt as if he had just drunk a large bowl of hot soup in the dead of winter.

My whole body feels warm.

He touched his nose, suppressing a laugh, and absentmindedly patted his daughter's back to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, your mother was just angry. She still cares about me, that's why she was upset with what you said..."

The thought that Tan Ci still cared about him and might never have considered divorcing him made Su Wenheng's lips twitch uncontrollably.

Su Xianyun's sobbing stopped abruptly as she stared at her father in disbelief.

Why does it seem like her dad is very happy?

Is it something to be happy about when your daughter almost got beaten up?

In an instant, I felt that my father was also unwell...

Su Wenheng did want to pretend, but—alas! He just couldn't keep up the act!

He patted his chest; hidden inside his clothes was the jade pendant he wore around his neck day and night, one he couldn't bear to take off.

That was a gift from her when she first married Tan Ci.

For so many years, he has always worn it close to his body, afraid of bumping, scratching, or losing it.

It was also so that when she was alone on the long night, curled up on a makeshift bed made of wooden planks in the study, she could recall the beautiful memories between the young couple and temporarily relieve the pain of longing.

Su Xianyun realized that her father was really smiling!

Like a fool, she clutched her chest and just kept laughing to herself! Suddenly, she didn't know whether to be angry or sad.

Perhaps I should give myself a hug and feel sorry for myself.

Finally, Liu Guixiang asked with a stern face, "Are you still going to visit Miss Song or not?"

This finally made all three of them refocus their attention.

When Song Lan saw the little girl, she sensed the self-pity emanating from her.

Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

"I have met my benefactor."

Su Xianyun performed the deep bow with great solemnity, without showing any sign of awkwardness.

She was very poised and elegant.

Song Lan then stopped him.

Then came Tan Ci and Liu Guixiang, who each explained what gifts they had prepared as a token of their gratitude.

Aside from gold, silver, and jewelry, these are just expensive gifts to make a good impression.

Liu Guixiang made a point of mentioning, "...I saw that you seemed to enjoy the food, so I made a little extra. I hope you don't mind that we were being impolite."

"It's a small gift but carries great sentiment; Madam Liu, you've put a lot of thought into it."

Song Lan politely smiled and thanked them, and they accepted everything, including gold, silver, jade, silk, cloth, dried fruit, and other snacks.

Su Xianyun looked at Song Lan with great curiosity.

This was the first time she had seen Song Lan in her true form.

However, before that, I had heard quite a bit about Song Lan.

Especially her mother, ever since she woke up, has been constantly telling her how amazing Song Lan is and how she saved her.

But seeing is believing.
