Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 482: Su Wanxin and Her Relationship

The simple exchange between the two caused an area centered around them to fall into utter silence, starkly contrasting with the lively atmosphere in the distance.

A strange ambiance quickly arose, hovering among them. The incident was so abrupt that some people were completely dumbstruck.

Everyone had noticed the resemblance between Su Yao and Su Wanxin.

Before Qi Ran arrived, the topic of heated discussion was, when did Su Wanxin suddenly gain a sister? What kind of trick was being played?

As everyone chatted, they began to recall all the events concerning Su Wanxin that had taken place before she left a year ago.

A year before, the topics surrounding Su Wanxin had never ceased.

Since the day she made her appearance at the Su Family corporation as an ordinary employee, she had always been a highly talked-about figure.

Many controversies surrounded her, yet there was one aspect where everyone seemed to share the same view: her origin.

No one could remember who first claimed that Su Wanxin was an orphan, attributing all her advantages to her beauty.

They said she slept with people for insider information, that she was kept by someone for the sake of climbing the social ladder.

Her reputation was deeply entrenched; she was seen as a pretty but capable vase.

She was intelligent and cunning.

For money and power, she would stop at nothing.

She was proud, aloof, and arrogant.

She had defied Fu Shihan, and in the end, she lost...vanished without a trace, quietly and silently.

All the information about Su Wanxin was now swirling in their minds.

Who exactly was she? This was the most urgent question they wanted an answer to.

Su Wanxin stood next to Su Yao and Qi Ran, her face still showing that usual undisturbed composure.

She quietly listened to the conversation between Su Yao and Qi Ran, just as she would at home, sitting aside and listening to their chatter.

"What are you thinking about?" Qi Ran turned his head to look at her silent, downcast demeanor and smiled. "You’re not pondering what to eat for dinner tomorrow, are you?"

Qi Ran asked her softly, his voice gentle. Lawyer Qi, who had just been discussing international trade issues with a stern face, changed his demeanor in front of everyone within minutes.

"I was wondering why Su Bai suddenly came here; he hadn’t mentioned this before, and it seems odd."

As Su Wanxin spoke, her gaze casually swept over Su Yao’s face, causing Su Yao to instantly feel tense and guilty.

"Mom, it’s getting late. I’m going to take Yangyang home. I’ll pick you up from the airport tomorrow at noon, and we’ll call then."

It was already past eight o’clock, and it would take tens of minutes to get hime. She still had to bathe Yangyang and read him a book.

Moreover, she had met quite a few people tonight, and with mixed feelings, she didn’t want to stay any longer.

Qi Ran nodded, reminding her to be careful on the road. Without any hesitation, Su Wanxin left with her son, not bothering to think about what might happen there after she was gone.

Fu Shihan watched her leave, listening to Lu Ci teasingly comment beside him: "Lawyer Qi makes a big move, and sure enough, there’ll be big news tomorrow."

Su Wanxin having a background was more attention-worthy than not having one.

Did she just call Qi Ran "Mom"? And Su Yao, who looked a lot like her, was the same.

"President Qi, what exactly is your relationship with Su Wanxin?"

Finally, someone couldn’t help but ask aloud.

The question sounded somewhat foolish because the answer seemed clear.

However, it was also the very question everyone wanted to ask.
