Chapter 115 The Daughter of the Female Lead in the Pampered Novel 4
After finally getting some rest, Su Su slowly sat up in bed and stretched.
She dragged her still somewhat heavy steps toward the kitchen, intending to cook herself some noodles. She opened the cupboard, took out noodles and a pot, and skillfully began to boil water.
As the water temperature gradually rises, steam fills the kitchen, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in the small space.
This was the life the original owner preferred: peaceful and uneventful, without any worries.
Just then, the doorbell rang, its clear sound standing out starkly in the quiet room.
Su Su frowned slightly, wondering who would come to find her at this time.
She put down the ingredients she was preparing, walked to the door, and looked through the peephole. She was surprised to see that it was the company president's daughter, who was also the original owner's benefactor.
Su Su quickly opened the door, a warm smile on her face, and said, "Qin Yu, what brings you here? Come in quickly."
Qin Yuqin nodded slightly and went into the house.
Su Su then said, "I cooked some noodles, would you like to eat with me?"
"No, I didn't want to bother you since you were on leave, but..." Qin Yuqin's face showed a helpless expression, "Your parents called the company and even got through to my personal number."
As she spoke, she gave Su Su a look that contained helplessness and a sense of letting Su Su understand on her own. Then she sat down opposite Su Su and quietly watched her eat her noodles.
"There are drinks in the fridge, help yourself," Su Su said to Qin Yuqin while eating her noodles.
Qin Yuqin nodded, then, as if suddenly remembering something, said, "Oh, right. My phone was off, so I couldn't reach you and came to see you."
"Go ahead and tell me, I'm turning off my phone." Su Su sighed softly, a complicated look flashing in her eyes. "My family went bankrupt and wants me to quit my job and go back home."
"What! Why go back? Will going back help them pay off their debts?" Qin Yuqin was furious and her face turned red. She slammed her hand on the table with such force that the bowl on the table shook three times, and the soup inside rippled.
Su Su simply shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about her parents' demands. She gripped the bowl tightly in her hand and continued eating her noodles at a leisurely pace, a slightly sarcastic smile playing on her lips. "Yeah! I don't understand either! They've abandoned me for so long, and only now that they're bankrupt do they remember me. I really don't know what they're thinking."
"Su Su, don't go back." Qin Yuqin looked at Su Su with a serious expression, her tone firm and unwavering. "You're better off here, and my family's company can offer you better treatment. You can do whatever you want here! We value you highly and don't want you to give up your future because of those unworthy family members."
Qin Yuqin knew how hard Su Su had worked all these years, and she sincerely hoped that Su Su could break free from the constraints of her family of origin.
Qin Yuqin had been trying to persuade Su Su not to do anything foolish. Recalling what she had learned about Su Su's experiences, she felt more and more that Su Su was a pitiful person who had been abandoned by her family.
Those details reveal that Su Su never received the love she deserved in that family.
She was spoiled from a young age and lived in a sweet environment. She simply cannot imagine what it would feel like to grow up in a poverty environment deliberately created by one's family. How much malice must be involved!
Every time she mentions Su Su's ordeal to her parents, she can't help but shudder, and goosebumps appear on her skin without her noticing. The chill comes from the bottom of her heart.
“I know, but I still need to go back and check.” Su Su put down her chopsticks, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. “After all, they’re all in their hometown. Blood is thicker than water, and family ties are sometimes such strange things. I still need to go back and see what’s going on. Maybe they’re having some difficulties.”
Qiqi asked softly, "Master, do you really want to go back? I think it would be better to ignore them."
It really didn't want Su Su to go back. The thought of Su Su possibly suffering there made Qi Qi feel terrible.
"I'm going back to see her, mainly to meet Qin Yiyi. I want to figure out what she's really thinking." Su Su frowned slightly; Qin Yiyi's behavior had always puzzled her.
Moreover, the original owner only wanted to go back to check the situation briefly before leaving, but unexpectedly found herself unable to leave.
Moreover, if Su Su doesn't go back this time, given Qin Yiyi and the others' personalities, they will definitely stop at nothing to make her return. Just like this time, they not only called the company, but also Qin Yuqin's private number.
After the original owner learned those cruel truths and left home, she had already had very little contact with her family.
Normally, Su Su wouldn't tell them anything, because she just wanted to completely get rid of that gloomy family.
Qin Yuqin was a benefactor the original owner met when she was at her lowest point after leaving home. Logically, her family shouldn't know about her relationship with Qin Yuqin.
But now that they know Qin Yuqin's private phone number, it can only mean that they have been secretly investigating her again, silently spying on her life. This feeling of being watched makes Su Su very uncomfortable, and at the same time, it makes her even more disappointed in her family's behavior.
Thinking of this, Su Su felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart.
The original owner of the body left in such a hurry that Qin Yuqin had no idea what had happened and therefore never appeared.
Qin Yuqin knew that although Su Su had grievances against her family, her inherent kindness prevented her from completely ignoring their affairs.
"Come back after you finish watching. I'll give you a month's leave, and you'll still get paid for that month," Qin Yuqin said, compromising but with a domineering air, her eyes filled with concern for Su Su.
Su Su had large dark circles under her eyes and looked exhausted. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
Before she could even speak, she was immediately stopped by the young lady, Qin Yuqin, "Don't refuse, you don't need to be so polite! Everyone has seen how much you've contributed to the company over the years. Even Dad speaks highly of you. Besides, you've had so many holidays over the years, but you haven't taken a single one; you've used them all for overtime work. Now you should rest, don't refuse anymore."
Looking into Qin Yuqin's sincere eyes, Su Su felt her deep sincerity and accepted the gift readily, a grateful smile on her face. "Thank you, Miss. You are so generous."
Su Su gave Qin Yuqin a playful thumbs-up, as if she were thanking her for her understanding and support, and also praising her domineering and forthright nature.
Seeing Su Su's adorable gesture, Qin Yuqin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile of relief.
Qin Yuqin carefully examined Su Su and saw that she was indeed alright and in good condition. Qin Yuqin also had an important date later.
She stood up, straightened her clothes, and then earnestly instructed, "Su Su, if anything happens to you, call me. Don't try to handle it all by yourself, okay?"
Su Su nodded vigorously, responding to Qin Yuqin's concern. Only then did Qin Yuqin leave with peace of mind, her departing figure elegant and confident, just as always.
After finishing her noodles, Su Su let out a satisfied burp.
She stretched and then asked Qiqi to book a train ticket back to her hometown.
She finally returned to her former home.
The ordinary three-story self-built house looks quite old, with mottled marks on the walls and an old-fashioned roof. The flowers, plants, and trees in the yard seem to have been neglected and appear somewhat messy.
This is the home the original owner grew up in, the source of his inferiority complex.
Su Su stood outside the courtyard gate, quietly looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar house, feeling her emotions weeping inside her.
It was the original owner's emotions—those long-suppressed feelings of grievance, pain, and longing—intertwined together, surging towards her like a tidal wave, almost suffocating her.
Meanwhile, Grandma was sweeping the yard, her movements somewhat slow.
When she heard a noise outside the yard, she thought it was her neighbors coming to laugh at her. Her calm face instantly turned angry. But when she looked up and took a closer look, she realized it was Su Su.
