Chapter 127 – Wealthy Bastard (part 2)

Li Su sighed at Si Qinglin’s misfortune and suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach.
She lowered her head and touched her stomach, knowing that it was her son who was protesting.

“Okay, don’t worry.
Mum is here.
I will definitely not let you become that stupid!”

Jiang Xue stood by and watched for a while.
“You really look like a mother!”

“Older sister Jiang, you are here!” Li Su looked up and recognised the original owner’s agent.

“Here are the diapers that I bought for the baby, and some clothes.
I will bring them up later!” Jiang Xue said with a smile as she sat down next to Li Su.
She was 35 this year.
But, because of a medical condition, she was unable to give birth.
In this life, she planned to concentrate on her career and not get married.

But, when she learned that Li Su was pregnant, she was shocked and knew that Li Su was taking a risk.
After hesitating, she chose to help Li Su.
The first reason was because she brought Li Su into the circle.
She knew that, while the child had a questionable background, it was not his fault.
The second reason was that she was reluctant to give up the child.

“Okay, don’t be polite.
How’s the baby? Is it rambunctious?” asked Jiang Xue as she touched Li Su’s stomach.

“The baby is well behaved.” Li Su began to think about how she would explain her change to Jiang Xue.
“Sister Jiang, I don’t want Su Qanzhe to know about this child’s existence.”

Jiang Xue was surprised.
“What? You don’t…” Then, she realised that they were in a garden with a lot of people around.
She then spoke in a low voice, “Aren’t you planning on using this child to get a higher position?”

“Sister Jiang, I have come to an understanding these past few days.
It is impossible between Su Wanzhe and I.
Just like you said, I can’t offend the Su or the An family.
It is impossible for Su Wanzhe to marry me.
I was thinking that if it wasn’t possible, I could trade the child for money and go far away since I would be scrutinised in the entertainment circle in the future.
But, as I feel my baby grow day-by-day and feel it moving, I… I can’t bear it!” Li Su choked out as she touched her stomach.

Jiang Xue was also silent.

“Sister Jiang, I have thought about it.
I have saved a lot of money in the past few years.
It should be enough to feed both the baby and I.
Sister Jiang, you are the only one who knows I am pregnant.
Will you help me keep this secret?” 

Li Su had thought about hiding from Jiang Xue in a different place in order to keep the secret, but she was pregnant and that would be inconvenient.
Jiang Xue also knew too much about the original owner.
Jiang Xue knew about how many bank cards and deposits the original owner had.
It wouldn’t be easy to avoid Jiang Xue.
She didn’t want to try and outsmart her.

Li Su didn’t want to take risks.

Besides, the original owner didn’t have a single friend.
Jiang Xue could barely be regarded as her friend.
Maybe she could work for it! If it didn’t work, then she could think of something later.

“If you think about it, you can’t live in this place anymore,” Jiang Xue said after a while.
“You haven’t shown up for so long.
President Su is suspicious.
His assistant has looked for me several times, but I haven’t replied.
I’m not sure how long I can hide this for.
I also come here often during this time to check on you.
They will find you!”

Li Su didn’t expect this to happen again.
Sister Jiang never reminded the original owner of this.
“Sister Jiang, what do I do?”

“Don’t worry.
Maybe I’m just worrying too much.
President Su might be fine.
I’ll make the arrangements,” said Jiang Xue after she thought about it for a while.

Li Su nodded.
“Sister Jiang, you must help me.
I really don’t want to be separated from the baby.”

Jiang Xue patted Li Su’s hand and nodded.

Li Su pulled on Jiang Xue’s hand.
“Sister Jiang, for the sake of the baby, I won’t act in the future.
Although I have a bit of savings, I can’t sit back and eat nothing.
I was thinking about making some investments.
Sister Jiang, what do you think about buying a house?”

When Jiang Xue saw that Li Su was seriously thinking about her future, she felt relieved.
“Buying a house is a good idea.
If you rent it out, then there will be monthly income.
It is more suitable for your current situation.
If you trust me, I will help you.”

Li Su smiled.
“Sister Jiang, I will have to trouble you.
Would you also let the Su family know?”

“Don’t worry, I still have this ability.” Jiang Xue smiled.
She didn’t agree with Li Su getting involved with these wealthy and powerful families.
Female celebrities and people from wealthy and powerful families could have relationships, but few had good endings.
She saw many examples of this.
But, Li Su hadn’t listened and Jiang Xue didn’t try to persuade her much.

Now, Li Su had woken up in time.
It was very good.

Jiang Xue was still very efficient.
A week later, she had found a place for Li Su and had organised for a moving company to help Li Su move.

In the evening, 2 months later, Jiang Xue quietly came by and handed Li Su a few real estate certificates and a few lease contracts.
“Here, I bought you seven houses in City C.
Four of them are in school districts and rented them out for you for three years.
Here are the contracts.
The rest for one year has been paid.
It is on the new card.”

“Thank you, Sister Jiang!” Li Su looked at the certificates and smiled.
In a few years, these would all be worth a lot of money!

Jiang Xue smiled when she saw her appearance.

“Sister Jiang, will the Su family find it?” Li Su asked when she suddenly remembered this.

“Probably not.
Since the last time I met with President Su, President Su only asked me once.
We have met several times in the past few months and President Su can’t recognise me.
I heard that President Su has been visiting a young model from the harbour city.
As long as you don’t go near him, he has probably forgotten who you are,” said Jiang Xue.
How could these people from wealthy and powerful families be sincere?

Li Su was relieved.
“That’s good.”

“It’s been more than eight months.
When is the due date?” Jiang Xue asked as she touched Li Su’s stomach.

“The due date is around the eighth of October.
Sister Jiang, will you come?” Li Su smiled.
“You are my son’s godmother, so you must be there!”

Jiang Xue’s eyes were hot.
“Seriously… Do you really want me to be your son’s godmother?”

“Of course! Why would I lie to you?” Li Su asked.

Jiang Xue smiled.
“The eighth of October…” She thought of the itinerary for those few days.
She should be able to make time.
“Okay, I will definitely come.
As for the confinement period, have you thought about it? Will you do it at home or go to a confinement centre? This place is too small.
I suppose if you go to a confinement centre, it probably won’t be very good.
I can let my parents come and help with your confinement.
I will invite my sister-in-law and a nanny.
You don’t have to worry about this.
I’ll deal with it.
You just raise your baby with peace of mind!”

Li Su smiled and took Jiang Xue’s hand.
“Sister Jiang, what would I do without you!” Jiang Xue had helped her a lot.
Without Jiang Xue, she would have to do so many things in person and it would have been troublesome.

Jiang Xue groaned.
“You just take care of my godson!” As she said this, she couldn’t help but touch Li Su’s stomach again.

Three days later, Jiang Xue’s parents came with many bags.
Jiang Xue was going to have her sister-in-law and hire a nanny to help, so she feared that the place would be too small to live in.
She bought the house opposite and let her parents live there.

“Dad, mum, I have to fly to Modu1 now, so I can’t say much.
This is Li Su, my younger sister.
She is the mother of my godson.
She has your grand-godson.
Please take care of her!” Jiang Xue left with a few words in a hurry.

Li Su, Father Jiang, and Mother Jiang were left staring at each other.

In the end, Li Su broke the awkward silence.
“Uncle, Auntie, hello.
I am Li Su.”

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were just ordinary, working-class workers who have been retired for many years.
People who were usually the same age were at home with their grandchildren, enjoying being a happy family.
But, because their daughter had a medical condition which made her infertile and that she even refused to get married, they could only worry secretly.

This time, they received a call from their daughter, asking them to come and take care of a pregnant woman.
The old couple thought their daughter learnt from foreigners and had a surrogate mother.
They did not know that was not the case, even until now.

The other party was a celebrity.
How could a person with such status be a surrogate for their daughter?

“Are you a star? I have seen you on TV.
You play as the third princess.
She is so cute,” Mother Jiang said with a smile.

The third princess was a character Li Su played in a previous popular TV series.

“When did you get pregnant? Who is the father?” Mother Jiang asked.

Father Jiang coughed a few times, then glared at Mother Jiang.

Li Su lowered her head and chuckled.
“It’s nothing.
I met a scumbag! I am an orphan.
My parents didn’t want me.
I was left on the side of the road and was sent to an orphanage.
I know what it is like to not have parents, so I can’t bear to let my child be like me.
I want to have a home!” The original owner’s acting skills were good.
This was the first time she had tried to use these acting skills.

Mother and Father Jiang saw her distress.
Mother Jiang patted Li Su’s thigh.
“That is good.
You don’t need such scum.
The child is the most important thing!” She then sat next to Li Su.
“Don’t worry.
Auntie will take care of you and your child.”

Then, they asked about the expected delivery date, if the check-ups had been done, and how the child was developing.

Li Su patiently answered all the questions.
Mother and Father Jiang had a better impression of Li Su.
Li Su’s character when she acted was a character with a design of a good girl.
This kind of person was the most popular among middle-aged and elderly audiences.
In addition, Li Su had travelled many times so she had already figured out how to get along with the elders.
So, it was easy for her to win Mother and Father Jiang’s favour.

People didn’t give chances to women who weren’t virtuous.
Wasn’t it just getting pregnant when one was unmarried? What was the big deal? It was the new century, so how could the thinking be so old? There were so many single mothers around.
People also found divorce inappropriate.
What was the big deal?

That is what Mother and Father Jiang thought.

1.(魔都) Modu – it is apparently a nickname for Shanghai.
Since C-novels usually use generic names like C City, I wasn’t sure if this is actually a reference to Shanghai.
I’ve left it as Modu.
