“Yueyue . ” Xuxu immediately gave chase .
Yan Weiye also followed suit and stepped forward, but Yan Rusen stopped him . He furtively cast a meaningful glance at him .
Yan Weiye pursed his lips together and reluctantly retraced his steps .
After he brought the two kids over, he had never seen them again . But when he saw the self-abased and timid look on his daughter’s face a moment ago, he felt a tug at his heartstrings .
“Mother, let’s go to the rest area for a rest . ” Yan Rusen attentively held on to Jiang Qinglian .
Jiang Qinglian’s eyes coldly swept across Yan Weiye’s face before following Yan Rusen to the rest area .

After everyone had left, Yan Rusheng raised his feet and walked towards the staircase .
Xuxu gave chase to the level below before catching hold of Su Yue . She held on to her and sat down with her side by side on the steps .
Xuxu looked at Su Yue affectionately for a while . She then gently spoke, “Yueyue, why are you here?”
It had taken her by surprise when she saw her earlier .
Su Yue clasped her hands together, fingers intertwined . She was visibly anxious and worried .
Seeing this sight, Xuxu stretched out her hand and patted her on the hand . “What’s wrong?”

Su Yue turned to look at her . She asked, “Will… he be heavily sentenced?”
So, this was the little lass’ concern, hence she came over?
Xuxu shook her head and comforted Su Yue . “He won’t . You shouldn’t be worried about this . You’re still a child, so leave this to the adults and concentrate on your schoolwork . Don’t dwell on this okay?”
But she knew that Su Yue wasn’t worried just because Yan Runan was her stepbrother .
Instead, she was blaming herself . The last few days, the news had reported that Yan Runan’s motives for harming Flourish & Prosper were because of his hatred for his father’s illegitimate children . Hence, she blamed herself .
Right from the start, she was already feeling inferior .
“My mommy is a bad person, and I shouldn’t be alive,” Su Yue chided herself .
Just as she had expected . Xuxu felt aggrieved and corrected her . “How can you say such things?”
Su Yue’s eyes brimmed with tears and she looked down, the corners of her mouth sank and looked sorrowful .
Xuxu held on to her hand and knitted her eyebrows . “Su Yue, listen to me . Don’t you ever say such things again or else, Third sister-in-law will not bother about you anymore . ”
“Third sister-in-law . ” Su Yue hugged Xuxu and said, “My mommy is a bad person . She’s a mistress and snatched someone’s husband . My brother and I snatched someone’s father . ”
“Yueyue, I don’t know where you heard such things from . ” Xuxu looked serious and stern . “But remember this—it’s not your fault . You’re just like everyone else, having a pair of eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a pretty face . You’ve done nothing wrong and neither are you inferior to others . Perhaps you are unhappy with your parents now, but they brought you into this world and at the very least, they are still alive . ”
As Xuxu spoke, sadness could be seen in her eyes . “I lost both my parents at the age of four . ”
It had Su Yue dumbfounded when she heard her . She unconsciously gripped Xuxu’s fingers tightly .
She knew that Xuxu’s parents were no longer around, but she wasn’t aware that she had lost her parents at a tender age .
“At that time, I just arrived in this big capital city and there were classmates who jeered at me saying I was only lodging under the Yan family’s roof . They even mocked me for being an orphan . ”
