Happy Divorce Chapter 4 (Part 4)
Happy Divorce Chapter 4 (Part 4) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
She saw how badly Manlu was hurt back then. Manlu seemed to be living a good life now, but how could a mother not see what was on her daughter’s mind——even if Manlu was not her biological child, she still understood Manlu clearly.
Manlu was intelligent and cunning. She was shrewd in business matters, but she was also persistent in her personality; otherwise, she would not be treated like that by the Yan family, and she would still swallow her anger.
Manlu didn’t say anything, but she and her husband knew from Bi Luo how much their daughter had suffered in the Yan family. Her daughter was docile, but that’s just on the surface. Once someone messed with her, she would never tolerate it and repay him twice as much. With her stubborn temperament, her daughter would compromise and seek perfection just because of Yan Feixi.
If it weren’t for love, how could Manlu have suffered so many grievances but still endure it; if it weren’t for love, how could Manlu come home with a broken heart and be seriously ill for a whole month?
During that month, her daughter seemed to shed all her tears and always cried sadly.
Once, her daughter fell into her arms crying, stroking the tear mole at the corner of her eye, and murmured to her: “Aunt Lian, the fortune teller once said when I was a child. I will enjoy endless wealth and glory in my life, but I am doomed to love... This mole represents the continuation of the heartache from the previous life, and I am destined not to get the love I want... that’s why he doesn’t love me?” So... was she destined to be sad forever?
She would never forget her daughter’s appearance at that time——no longer calm, no longer composed, her daughter had her heart broken, her intestines broken, and her body completely injured.
Although her daughter stopped crying a month later and acted as if nothing had happened and could talk and laugh, she knew that the wound in her daughter’s heart was still there. Even after two years, the wound still had not healed.
Even if her daughter behaved as usual, she knew she had not forgotten that man.
She initially thought time was the best medicine. Even if her daughter couldn’t forget it in two years, she would forget it in four, six, ten years... there would be one day.
Who knew Yan Feixi would appear? This was really a sin. Manlu finally calmed down, but he showed up.
When Aunt Lian finished listening to everything her daughter said, she also had a headache, and Father Su jumped again.
“What? He wants you to go to the Northeast with him, no! Father won’t allow it! That fragrant powder shop is not allowed to open. Our Su family is fine in the south. What to do in the Northeast? No, no, Father won’t allow it.”
Su Manlu had already thought of her father’s anger, and she calmly told her father, “Father, I have made a contract with the Tang family.”
“Then break the contract!”
“Father.” Su Manlu lowered her eyes.
Father Su immediately lost his mind. With a depressed face, he changed to a pleading attitude, hoping his daughter would change her mind. “Manlu...”
Su Manlu did not give her father this chance, “Father, I have already decided.” Seeing her father drooping his shoulders in decline, she couldn’t help being amused but couldn’t bear it. She knew that her father felt sorry for her and didn’t want her to be hurt by Yan Feixi again.
Su Manlu knew how worried she made her father, so she stepped forward and hugged him, using his favorite voice to act coquettishly.
“Father, don’t worry about Manlu. Nothing will happen to me. I have grown up and am no longer the innocent Su Manlu. I will not be sad for that man anymore. I agreed because I want the Su family’s store to develop to the northeast. I don’t just want the Su family to be the richest in the South, but the richest in the world. I want everyone to know that I, Su Manlu, was trained by the old head of the Su family so that my father can be prestigious and feel proud when it comes to his daughter.”
Father Su’s heart softened after hearing this. He touched his daughter’s soft black hair, just like when his daughter was a child. His daughter had always been his beloved little cotton-padded jacket.
“Silly daughter, of course, you have the majesty of your father. You were taught by your father, so of course, you have his demeanor. In your hands, the Su family will definitely be bigger than when Father was the head of the family. But... if that kid bullies you, don’t be foolish and endure it anymore. You must fight back, do you know?” Father Su was worried about that boy from the Yan family. His daughter was hurt so badly back then. Could she really forget it?
Su Manxu hugged her father tightly and promised him, “Father, I won’t. I will never let anyone bully me again.”
Although his daughter said this, Father Su was still worried. He looked up at his wife, hoping his wife would persuade his daughter to change her mind.
Seeing her husband’s eyes, Aunt Lian shook her head. Did he not understand his daughter’s personality? No one could change what she decided.
She asked her husband to let go of their daughter, “Manlu.”
“Aunt Lian.” Su Manlu looked at Aunt Lian, knowing she was not as easy to talk to as her father.
“Aunt Lian won’t stop you.” Seeing her daughter sighing in relief, Aunt Lian added, “But you have to promise me that you will find a husband as soon as you come back from the Northeast and get married within a month.”
Su Manlu was stunned, while Father Su frowned. He was about to speak but saw his wife shaking her head, so he had to shut up first.
Aunt Lian reached out to touch her daughter’s face and whispered, “Manlu, you have to forget him completely.”
Su Manlu was startled, and a flash of embarrassment flashed through her heart. She knew from Aunt Lian’s eyes that Aunt Lian had already seen everything.
It turns out that Aunt Lian knew... Apart from the fragrant powder shop and spice cultivation in the Northeast, she still had one thought in her heart——a thought that even she dared not admit.
She obviously hated him, wished he wouldn’t show up again, and swore that she would take revenge on him if she saw him again. She wouldn’t let her heart waver anymore, but when she really faced him, she couldn’t suppress the desire hidden deep in her heart.
So she made many excuses to give herself a legitimate reason, telling herself that the conditions she agreed to him were not because of him. She was doing it for the spices and the development of the Su family, not because of her heart... and him.
She even deceived herself, but she couldn’t deceive Aunt Lian.
Su Manlu lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, her fingers were tightly entangled into knots, just like the complex in her heart, locking her heart and preventing her from getting out of the predicament.
After a long time, she slowly opened her lips.
“Okay, Aunt Lian, I promise you.”
After returning from the Northeast, she would find a husband, get married, and completely forget about him.
