Chapter 345: The Matter of the Child (3)
Wang Zhilin’s plan wasn’t all that complicated, it was simply to claim that she was a mental illness sufferer. Her lawyer had been preparing evidence for this all along, and this was why, despite the tortures she endured, she never lost hope—because she believed there would always be a day when she would get out.
The more abject one’s life, the more one yearns for brightness. The more Wang Zhilin suffered, the more she clung to this glimmer of hope. Thus, she cooperated with every suggestion from her lawyer, just waiting for the lawyer to rescue her!
As for Madam Wang, all alone outside the household, she was clearly having a much easier time. She returned to her maiden home where, although not particularly welcomed, she could at least be fed and clothed, and wasn’t homeless. This made her quite content.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Mother Su started making dumplings, and Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi were each dragged into the kitchen by Mother Su. Su Yanmo, on the other hand, was led into the kitchen by the hand of Xiao Su Nuo, leaving Grandfather Su and Father Su as the only two men left to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
"Grandma, does Nuonuo’s dumpling look right?" Xiao Su Nuo was earnestly learning how to make dumplings, and his dumplings actually took shape, albeit a little small.
"Nuonuo is so smart to have learned so quickly, much better than your dad." As Mother Su praised her grandson, she didn’t miss the chance to jab at her son, who couldn’t even make his dumplings look as nice as Xiao Su Nuo’s.
Even though Su Yanyi had entered the kitchen, she merely sat to one side with a cup of tea in hand, amusedly watching and not intending to lift a finger. On the other hand, Qin Jiran was wrapping with great efficiency, becoming the main force in the dumpling-making team.
In reality, Su Yanmo also had no desire to participate, but since his son wanted to watch him make dumplings, he had no choice but to keep his son company—after all, he couldn’t bear to see his son looking at Qin Jiran with eyes filled with admiration!
