Chapter 889: New Neighbors
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“After she became pregnant with Su Le, Xu Ye was recalled by the Central and Southern Military District, and my sister lost all contact with him. The next news we received was about Xu Ye’s death. She couldn’t accept it—she stopped eating and drinking, and even stopped scolding Su Bing and the others. Her health deteriorated until she passed away. I tried to investigate Xu Ye, but found nothing.”
Gu Zi listened and started to piece together the story. “So, you’re saying Xu Ye never intended to take responsibility for your sister or the children from the beginning. No wonder his family didn’t come looking for Su Bing and the others after your sister passed. It seems they only surfaced now that Su Bing and the others are doing well.”
Su Shen felt a wave of sadness for his sister, who had misplaced her trust and treated the three children poorly. “After my investigation, I realized he had no intention of being responsible. I don’t expect anything from him or his family either. I just took on the responsibility myself and cared for the three children. Those people wanting to take the kids away is out of the question.”
Gu Zi looked worried. “If they’ve managed to conceal their identities so well, it shows they have some background. They must be very confident in their claims to want the children back. But Su Shen, I really don’t want them to take the kids away. Xu Ye wasn’t a man worth trusting, and neither are his family.”
Seeing how sincerely she cared for the children, Su Shen gently reassured her, “I’ll stay at home for a while to recover. I’ll keep an eye on this situation. You focus on your work without worrying too much. Regardless of who they are, I won’t allow them to take the kids away. And let’s keep this from the children for now.”
Gu Zi could see that Su Shen was serious about his commitment. With his words, she felt a sense of relief.
Tomorrow she had to go back to work at the newspaper; she had taken a long enough leave, and with the kids going back to school, everything felt manageable with Su Shen’s support. This was the charm of having a man like him by her side—his presence was irreplaceable!
Just as they finished their conversation in the front yard, a stylishly dressed mature woman approached, accompanied by a well-dressed boy who was walking toward the house diagonally across from them.
Gu Zi recalled that the house had been vacant before. Could this be the new family Grandma Gao mentioned? Given their appearance, she guessed they might not be easy to deal with.
