It had only been a few years, but she looked like she had aged by decades .
She loomed over the children, her hair pinned up neatly .
Her eyebrows were thick and her eyes were as big as ever .
But she had lost her elegance and noble air .
She was like a beautiful flower that suffered a huge storm . She was no longer as gorgeous as before .
Su Yue’s eyes reddened and her eyes brimmed with tears .
She bit her lip and tried to control her emotions as she stared at her .
“Is that granny the matron?” Xiaojiao suddenly asked Su Yue innocently .
Su Yue nodded, her voice choked .
She could no longer hold back her tears . Fortunately, Xiaojiao was sitting in the back row and she could only see her side-view .
She hurriedly sat up straight and wiped away her tears . She started the car and drove away from the orphanage .
Seeing Su Yue drive away, Xiaojiao asked in confusion, “Mommy, are we not going in?”
Su Yue sniffed and shook her head . She pressed her lips in a tight smile . “Nope, Mommy only came to take a look at Grandmother . ”
Xiaojiao asked curiously, “Was that Grandmother Mommy’s friend?”
Su Yue wanted to nod to prevent her from asking more questions . But after some thought, she told her the truth . “That grandmother was Daddy’s mommy . ”
She turned around to glance at Xiaojiao .
Xiaojiao blinked in confusion . “Isn’t Daddy’s mommy Brother Beibei’s grandmother?”
Looking at Xiaojiao’s bright eyes, Su Yue forced a smile . She gently explained, “That grandmother is Daddy Jiao Chen’s mother . ”
“Oh . ” Xiaojiao nodded in understanding . But she asked, “Then why didn’t Mommy go in?”
Without hesitation, Su Yue gave her an excuse . “Mommy just remembered that she didn’t bring a gift . I’ll go in next time when I have one . ”
This excuse was enough to convince the innocent Xiaojiao .
Xiaojiao also felt that it was rude to visit without a gift . She nodded . “Okay, next time bring Xiaojiao along . ”
“Mm . ” Su Yue smiled and turned away . She wiped her tears with the back of her palm .
When they reached the capital city, it was teatime .
Su Yue originally wanted to find Ming Ansheng, but she unknowingly drove to Flourish & Prosper .
Perhaps it was because she had been wanting to visit Su Yan since last night . It had been a few days since he returned, but she had only seen him twice .
He was busier than Ming Ansheng every day, and it worried her that he’d be overworked .
“Miss Su . ”
“Miss Su . ”
Su Yue had been to the office several times . Those working at the counter were elderly staff, so they recognized her and greeted her .
Su Yue smiled and nodded, walking towards the lift .
She pressed the button and the doors immediately opened . Holding Xiaojiao’s hand, she walked into the lift and pressed the button .
In the blink of an eye, she had reached her floor and the doors opened . She was about to bring Xiaojiao out when she saw a pretty woman dressed in a trendy outfit standing at the entrance to the lift .
She was clad in luxury brands and smelled of expensive perfume . Although Su Yue wasn’t a fan of luxury items, she liked to read up on them and she could thus recognize them .
But she didn’t just recognize the limited-edition luxury items she was wearing for she recognized her face as well .
