My Ex-Wife Disappeared for Years and Had My Babies

Chapter 79: Chapter 73 Song Ziyuan_2

“You also know Yanyan’s status at home, her family forced her into it, and it’s already been two years since she got married. You have no idea what she has been through in these two years…”

Su Nian remained silent, watching as Jin Qiu’s eyes clouded over with mist. She continued in a low voice: “Tang Shaosheng never liked her, but for some reason agreed to marry her. They didn’t announce the marriage publicly, and he continued his daily revelries, without any feelings for Yanyan.”

“Just after they got married, Yanyan was accepted by a record company and was busy at work every day. Despite Tang Shaosheng not caring for her, he forbade her from going out. You know how strong-willed Yanyan is, and she loves singing so much that she went to the company behind his back. When he found out, the next day Yanyan was inexplicably terminated by the record company.”

“After that, she tried many record companies and nobody would hire her, surely because Tang Shaosheng sabotaged her. Yanyan said she wouldn’t give up singing even if she couldn’t perform on big stages, so she started singing in a bar. Tang Shaosheng was furious when he found out. It was that time, no one knows what he gave her, and now… Yanyan can no longer speak…”

Su Nian didn’t know what to say for a long while, feeling only heartache.

Ziyan’s voice was very pleasant; everyone who heard her sing praised her. She’s also beautiful, and many boys pursued her at school, but she was shy and never dated…

Now, she has been rendered speechless by Tang Shaosheng…

For someone like Ziyan who loved to sing, losing her voice was more painful than losing her life…

A man like Tang Shaosheng deserves to be struck by lightning!

“I’m sorry… I couldn’t be there for her during that time…”

Jin Qiu blinked back tears and comforted Su Nian: “It’s okay, Nian’nian, Yanyan is fine now, she knows sign language beautifully and has opened a flower shop that’s doing really well. I came to help in her shop on my day off today, and suddenly saw a ‘Su Nian’ among the customers and immediately rushed over with the address, I didn’t expect it would really be you!”

Knowing that Ziyan was living well even after losing her voice, Su Nian felt much relieved: “Let’s go see her later.”

“Okay, but Nian’nian, you need to learn sign language! I can understand a lot of it now.”

“Okay, I’ll work hard to learn.”

The flower shop was located on Sheng Han Street, not far from where Su Nian worked.

It was a large shop with many customers placing orders, clearly doing good business.

In the distance, she saw a girl in a white fitted dress smiling and using sign language, while an employee helped translate for the customers.

Su Nian had always thought Ziyan was soft-hearted, but after enduring so much, she was still able to smile so beautifully.

She had thought that her own troubles were bad enough.

Jin Qiu hurried over, excitedly saying: “Yanyan, look who’s here!”

Ziyan turned around, gestured something to the employee, and then walked toward Su Nian.

She could not speak but gave Su Nian a smile and a hug.

“Yanyan…”

Ziyan let go of her and gestured a few times. Su Nian didn’t understand sign language, but Jin Qiu translated: “Yanyan is asking how you have been.”

After a brief exchange, Su Nian was worried that Ziyan might be pessimistic, but seeing her today, she always seemed to be smiling.

Such a good girl, yet Tang Shaosheng did not know how to cherish her.

They initially planned to go out for dinner together in the evening, but close to dinner time, Tang Shaosheng came to the shop.

Seeing Su Nian there, he simply smiled, his frivolous attitude was extremely irksome.

He said to Ziyan in an authoritative tone without asking if she was tired from the day, “Close the shop, you need to go back to the old house today.”

Ziyan looked troubled, glanced at Su Nian and the others, and gestured to Tang Shaosheng: [I’m going out with friends today, can we do it another day?]

Before she could finish gesturing, Tang Shaosheng bluntly said, “I’m not here to discuss with you.”

Jin Qiu couldn’t hold back: “Tang Shaosheng, don’t be so shameless!”

Tang Shaosheng didn’t take Jin Qiu’s scolding to heart at all, he was used to worse, let alone something of this level.

He smirked at Su Nian, hinting at something.

Su Nian really wanted to stand up for Ziyan, but with other employees around, she didn’t want to make a scene and embarrass Ziyan, so she said nothing.

Ziyan apologetically said: [Let’s go out some other time, I’ll treat you, sorry about today.]

They were after all husband and wife, and Jin Qiu, being an outsider, could not interfere much. She helped tidy up the shop floor and watched Ziyan leave in Tang Shaosheng’s car.

After they parted ways, Su Nian returned home and suddenly felt blessed as she lay in bed.

Compared to Ziyan, she was much luckier, at least she still had Su Zhen and Su Bao.

She never expected that so much had happened in the years she was away.

The weekend ended and it was back to regular work. Shen Hanxiu hadn’t shown up since she moved over the weekend. Su Nian was somewhat afraid to encounter him at the office. She didn’t understand where this guilt and dread came from.

When she arrived at the company, it wasn’t very crowded yet, and Xue Qi seemed to be waiting for her. As soon as Su Nian reached her desk, Xue Qi came over.

Xue Qi always favored heavy makeup, with smoky eyes and red lips, quite flamboyant, her arms crossed in front of her chest as she stood by Su Nian’s desk, looking down at her and said: “Su Nian, why are you cozying up to my son?”

Hearing this, Su Nian felt like reprimanding her, the mother. She looked up with a somewhat mocking smile, “You still know he’s your son? You didn’t even search for him when he didn’t come home late at night, and now you’re questioning me?”

Not a single sign of guilt towards Haohao showed on Xue Qi’s face, yet she claimed arrogantly, “If you hadn’t lured him away, would he not come home late at night?”

“If he didn’t come with me, what would a three-year-old child eat at home? Do you even understand the meaning and responsibility of the word ‘mother’?”

“Don’t you lecture me!” Xue Qi hated being told she was in the wrong. It was the same in high school; she would get angry if someone spoke ill of her, and now her face twisted in anger: “My son, I’ll raise and lead as I please. Do you really need to stick your nose in?!”

Su Nian spoke calmly: “Then I can only feel sorry for Haohao to have you as a mother.”

Xue Qi, choked with rage, pointed her finger at Su Nian, about to spew insults, when a genteel male voice interrupted: “Accountant Su…”
