Su Xue was filled with shock; just as one wave of surprise settled, another arose. She never expected that Jiang Chen would achieve such great success, with such grand undertakings. No wonder he had been so extravagant during their last encounter in the United States.
“Come, let me explain everything to you slowly,” Jiang Chen said, taking Su Xue by the wrist and leading her to the living room. Once they were seated, he recounted the events of the past few years, allowing Qin Xiaoya to fill in some details.
After he finished, Su Xue stared blankly at Jiang Chen, speechless for a long moment.
“Do you believe me?” Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
“I believe you; I believe everything you say,” Su Xue replied, breaking into a smile and nodding earnestly. The trust in her eyes was unconditional.
“I want to show you something,” Jiang Chen said, pulling out the Storage Jade Gourd. A flash of light revealed five divine artifacts before them.
“What… what is this?” Su Xue exclaimed in surprise, though she was somewhat prepared for the unexpected, knowing that Jiang Chen possessed extraordinary abilities capable of performing strange feats.
“These are five of the Seven Divine Artifacts,” Jiang Chen explained.
“So these are the artifacts!” Su Xue said curiously as she leaned closer to examine them closely.
“What about the other two artifacts? Have they not been found yet?” she asked further.
“The Immortal Dragon Seal has been located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, suppressing the Undying Dragon Clan. As for the Devouring Heaven Bottle, there’s still no news,” Jiang Chen replied, feeling no need to hide anything from Su Xue.
“Undying Dragon Clan? Are there really dragons on Earth?” Su Xue asked, both surprised and intrigued.
“Of course! If the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm exists, then dragonkind must also exist,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
“Oh,” Su Xue nodded gently, deep in thought.
“Alright, don’t overthink it. You’ll gradually understand many things in time. Why don’t you stay here tonight? Get some rest and don’t worry about anything,” Jiang Chen suggested.
“But…” Su Xue hesitated, feeling reluctant to leave her mother alone.
“If you want to be with your mother, I can take you back,” Jiang Chen offered with a gentle smile.
Su Xue nodded in agreement.
That night, in a five-star hotel in the capital city, Su Qin looked at her daughter with a furrowed brow.
“Xue Er, what’s wrong? Did that boy Jiang Chen do something bad to you?” Su Qin asked. Normally, whenever she mentioned Jiang Chen, her daughter would light up like a child; why was she so gloomy after going out with him tonight?
“No,” Su Xue replied softly. She was still reflecting on what had just happened and digesting Jiang Chen’s words; it would take time to process everything.
“Then why do you look so downcast?” Su Qin asked, concern etched on her face. Initially annoyed that her daughter had gone out with Jiang Chen tonight, she now found it hard to stay upset seeing her daughter like this.
“Am I feeling down? Not at all, I’m very happy,” Su Xue said with a smile.
“Then let me ask you, does that kid Jiang Chen know anyone from the Qin family in the capital?” Su Qin inquired.
“The Qin family? What about the Qin family?” Su Xue looked a bit confused.
“The car Jiang Chen used to pick you up today is the private vehicle of Qin Xiaoya, the head of the Qin family. If he didn’t know Miss Qin, how could he possibly borrow her car?” Su Qin explained.
“Oh, I know Qin Xiaoya, Miss Qin. She was the one who drove us today. Mom, do you know Miss Qin too?” This time it was Su Xue who was surprised.
“Wait, are you saying that Miss Qin was your driver just now?” Su Qin was shocked.
“Yes, Miss Qin said she is Jiang Chen’s…” Su Xue hesitated to finish her sentence.
“What is it?” Su Qin pressed eagerly.
“She’s his maid,” Su Xue finally said.
“A maid? What era are we in? Besides, with Miss Qin’s noble status, how could she possibly be a maid for someone else, especially for Jiang Chen? I know his background well enough,” Su Qin scoffed, clearly not believing it.
“Mom, even though I don’t believe it either, that’s the truth. Besides, Jiang Chen is no longer the same as before. I think it’s understandable for Miss Qin to serve him,” Su Xue replied. Although she couldn’t fully grasp Jiang Chen’s words and actions from tonight, one thing was clear: Jiang Chen had abilities beyond ordinary people. It was surprising yet reasonable that Qin Xiaoya would serve him as a maid.
“What on earth is that kid Jiang Chen doing now? How could he have such capabilities?” Su Qin asked, reluctant to believe but faced with undeniable facts—Jiang Chen did indeed use Qin Xiaoya’s car today.
“I’m not entirely sure either, but Jiang Chen is no longer an ordinary person. Mom, please stop looking down on him,” Su Xue said, unsure how to explain her feelings to her mother.
“When did I ever look down on him? I just don’t want to see you get hurt. You know how narrow-mindedness runs deep among wealthy families. You saw it today; even a steward from the Wang family still looks down on your mother. I just don’t want you to repeat my mistakes,” Su Qin said earnestly. She had to adjust her attitude toward Jiang Chen; although it felt unbelievable, he truly had changed significantly.
“Mom, I really don’t care about these things,” Su Xue insisted.
“You’re still young and don’t understand. In this world, we often have no control over our lives. Some things can’t be ignored just because you say you don’t care. I was once like you until I hit a wall and learned the hard way that we are insignificant; others simply don’t care. No one cared for me back then; there was no one to guide me. But you’re different; you’re my daughter, and I care about you. I don’t want you to suffer any harm,” Su Qin spoke with heartfelt sincerity. Every action she took was meant to protect Su Xue; even if her methods were extreme, she believed she was safeguarding her daughter in her own way.
Su Xue found herself unable to argue against her mother’s words and couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Mom,” she cried as she fell into her mother’s embrace, unable to hold back her emotions. Over the years, she had seen how hard her mother had worked in the United States and felt the weight of her struggles.
“Don’t cry. While life may not be fair from birth, we can change our destinies through our efforts. If one generation isn’t enough to change things, then let two or three generations work hard,” Su Qin said, her eyes also glistening with tears.
A mother’s thoughts can sometimes be domineering or impolite, but what great fault is there in that?
After sharing their feelings in an embrace, Su Qin steadied her daughter and looked into her eyes seriously. “Xue Er, the Wang family has likely deceived us this time, but I won’t accept it—especially not from that woman. You are the only heir of the Wang family; everything that belongs to them should rightfully be yours. So when you meet with them tomorrow, Xue Er, you must listen to me.”
“What if that woman refuses to leave the Wang family?” Su Xue asked.
“If she refuses to leave the Wang family, she still has to go. If she doesn’t leave and you return to the Wang family, there will be no place for you there,” Su Qin said firmly.
"Mom, I'm not afraid of that woman. Even if she's a devil, I won't be scared," Su Xue said earnestly, showing no signs of fear. This time returning to the capital, she had support—Jiang Chen was her pillar of strength.
"You may not be afraid, but I am. If she’s at the Wang family, and you’re living in their grand residence, I won’t feel at ease. If your grandparents ask you to go back to the Wang house tomorrow, you must refuse. We would rather stay in a hotel or rent a place; we cannot go back now," Su Qin replied.
Although that woman had not yet left the Wang family, Su Qin was determined not to walk away empty-handed this time. No matter what, her daughter carried the bloodline of the Wang family; she was the legitimate heir.
And it was impossible for Su Qin to harbor no resentment towards the Wang family. With resentment, there must be an outlet.
"Mom, I... I don’t want to live in the Wang family. I have a place to stay now," Su Xue said.
