“First Aunt!” Xuxu was about to chase her when Yan Rusheng grabbed her wrist once more .
It frustrated her, and she spun around . “What are you doing?!”
“She won’t listen to anything you say right now . ” Yan Rusheng gazed at the diminishing figure of Jiang Qinglian as a crease appeared on his forehead .
Xuxu ignored his advice, flung his hand away, and ran after Jiang Qinglian .
Grandmother had used so much effort to sustain this family . She can’t sit by and watch the family fall apart .

When she was a kid, First Aunt, First Brother, and Second Brother had given her so much love and warmth . She couldn’t simply watch them drift apart from each other and end up as enemies .
“First Aunt!” Xuxu quickly ran after Jiang Qinglian . When she finally caught her, she wrapped her arms around her waist . “First Aunt, it really wasn’t Ah Sheng! Ah Sheng didn’t do that . Someone else used Wang Bin to frame Ah Sheng to attack our family . ”
“Xuxu, I’m not acting this way because of that matter . ” Jiang Qinglian still sounded distant and cold, but she wasn’t as frightening and fiery as earlier on . She said, “Yan Weiye and I have gotten to this step, and there is no way we can carry on being together . Runan might have made a mistake, but this all stemmed from his father’s fault . I’ve given in and suffered in silence so that this family could stay intact, but now that my son is in trouble, there is no way the family could stay together . I just wanted to get the shares that the old madam have left us . ”
She heaved a heavy sigh, and it seemed to convey her regrets, pity, helplessness, and sorrow .
More so, she spoke in a calm and composed tone .

But every word sounded unyielding and determined, and it made Xuxu’s heart clench inside her chest .
‘I’ve given in and suffered in silence so that this family could stay intact…’
After getting married, what does a woman contribute to her family?
It was everything she had, including the tolerance and forgiveness that she initially assumed she never had .
A woman like Aunt Mu Li who had been treated and pampered like a princess for her entire life was a rare find .
Xuxu refused to relinquish her grip around her waist, acting just like a spoiled kid . She sobbed . “Yan Rusheng would have a way to help Second Brother . First Aunt, please trust him . ”
Memories of how First Aunt had helped Grandmother with the household affairs kept flashing in her mind .
The family used to live in peace and harmony, and strife amongst members was nonexistent . Everyone envied their family, as not even ordinary families could do that .
“I will think of a way myself . ” Jiang Qinglian pressed the elevator button and pushed Xuxu away .
She stepped into the elevator .
Xuxu stood there in a daze staring at Jiang Qinglian as the elevator’s door closed . She turned around and her head bumped into Yan Rusheng’s chest, who stood beside her . She quietly tore up .
“Why did this happen? Ah Sheng, why did it end up in this way?”
She raised her hands and tugged at Yan Rusheng’s suit . It was for the first time she felt so useless that she couldn’t do anything to salvage the situation .
Yan Rusheng patted her gently on her back and consoled her . “Don’t be too sad . I know you’ve tried your best . ”
Xuxu had been so attentive to Su Yue, and he knew that she had hoped that First Uncle would devote more time to his own family instead . In that way, his family would still stay intact . She also didn’t want First Uncle to neglect First Aunt because of Su Yue and Su Yan .
