After she finished, Su Jin ignored the furious Pang Nana and the stunned Li Lina. She pulled the sad and disappointed Pang Lili and turned to leave. There wasn’t much to talk about with these two anyway… She said plainly to Pang Lili,
“Lili, let’s go see your grandmother!”
She had originally wanted to have a chat with Pang Lili’s parents, but based on what she’s seen, there was no point at all. In Pang Lili’s parents’ eyes, there was probably only that two-faced hypocrite Pang Nana.
Pang Nana was even more angry when she saw the two of them leaving. How could she be bullied in her own home by these two good-for-nothings? How could this end so easily? She had to make them pay and told Li Lina aggrievedly,
“Mom, I can see that my younger sister really doesn’t like me. I’d better return to the countryside…”
Li Lina heard Pang Nana’s words and couldn’t bear to part with her. This child was raised by her and she had doted on her for so many years. Sending her back to the countryside would be like sending her flesh and blood away. Li Lina said indignantly,
“Nana, don’t be afraid. Mom will help you. Let’s go inside and ask your dad to send that little fatty back to the countryside. The Pang family doesn’t need this vicious and heartless daughter.”
Su Jin and Pang Lili had just turned when they heard Li Lina’s angry roar. Pang Lili was very sad. She was clearly the biological daughter of this family, but why was she treated like this? She said sadly to Su Jin,
“Maybe, if I, I went back to the country, countryside. It will be better. I, I, might also be happier, happier than now.”
Su Jin looked at the sad Pang Lili and didn’t understand why her parents hated their biological daughter so much and loved the scheming adopted daughter. Su Jin patted Pang Lili’s back and comforted,
“It’s alright, I’m here and I won’t let them send you back to the countryside.”
Soon, the two of them arrived at a small courtyard. This was where Pang Lili’s grandmother lived. When Pang Lili saw her grandmother, she didn’t stutter anymore. Instead, she ran up to her grandmother happily and said,
“Grandma, I’m back. This is my good friend Su Jin. She takes good care of me at school.”
Pang Lili’s grandma had a head of white hair. Although she was old, she had a certain elegance about her. One could see that she must have been a sensible and honorable lady during her younger days. She wore black grandma clothes and looked at Su Jin as she said lovingly,
“School is over. Quickly bring your friend in. Su Jin, thank you for being my granddaughter’s friend.”
Su Jin waved her hands when she heard this. Pang Lili was very nice too and she liked her very much. Besides, the two of them had very similar experiences. How could she not understand Pang Lili’s pain? She smiled and said to Pang Lili’s grandmother,
“Grandma, don’t mention it. Lili takes good care of me at school too.”
As she said this, Su Jin noticed that Lili’s grandmother’s cup was empty so she politely filled it with water. After all, she was the only person who treated Pang Lili fairly. She must be a good person.
The senior Mrs. Pang saw Su Jin’s sensibility and liked her even more. Not only was this girl good-looking, but she was also sensible. She’s a rare gem and it’s very good for Lili to be friends with her. Grandma Pang said gently,
“Lili, go walk around with your friend. Make her feel at home.”
These young people were all very energetic. They would be restless if they just sat there to keep an old lady company. It was better to let them walk around and tell each other secrets. Pang Lili looked at Su Jin and thought that she might feel bored too, so she said,
“I understand, Grandma.”
Su Jin stood still. She had no intention of leaving as she came here today to do something. And the only person in this family she could speak to was this old lady. She smiled and said to Grandma Pang,
“Grandma, I didn’t come here to play. I came here to discuss something with you.”
Originally, Su Jin didn’t want to tell Grandma about Pang Nana poisoning Pang Lili because it might create havoc for the family but after seeing Pang Nana’s vicious and two-faced behavior, she didn’t want to hide it anymore. She wanted to make this two-faced hypocrite pay the price for her evil deeds!
