For three years, she was busy with work and taking care of Ning Yichen. She never had excess money to get nice clothes, nor did she have time to take care of herself. She looked haggard and exhausted. In comparison, Su Lianxi, who always dressed glamorously, had a higher chance of getting Ning Yichen’s attention.

But so what?

Perhaps Ning Yichen would not fall in love with her, but without the credit that Su Lianxi had stolen from her, he would never have looked at her.

Just like how he dealt with Su Zhixi.

At this thought, Su Zhixi laughed gently. “Really? If that’s the case, Ning Yichen would still marry you even if he found out that the person who took care of him wasn’t you, right?”

Su Lianxi’s expression changed.

But she broke into a smile again shortly. “It doesn’t matter, since he’ll never know. Even if you told him, he won’t believe you.”

Su Zhixi clenched her fists.

“Su Lianxi, you win. After all, people are invincible when they are shameless.” She laughed. “Go back and tell Dad that I’m never going back. I will have nothing to do with him from now on!”

With that, Su Zhixi turned and prepared to walk away.

“Sister.” Su Lianxi opened her mouth wryly again. “Don’t you want to know where your mother’s ashes are?”

Su Zhixi froze in her steps. “Su Lianxi, what are you doing?!” She glared at her sister.

“I know you’ve been looking for your mother’s ashes, and I happen to know where they are. So, I’d like to strike a deal with you.” Su Lianxi smiled confidently. “There’s a lot of people here, how about we talk somewhere else?”

Su Zhixi stared at her sister expressionlessly for a while.

“Okay.”

Su Lianxi insisted on going to a cafe near Yanzhou University.

Su Lianxi casually flipped through the menu after they were seated. “Sister, I’ve heard that the food here is pretty good, how about I buy you lunch today?”

“No need!” Su Zhixi did not have the patience to go in circles with her sister. “Where are my mother’s ashes?”

Su Zhixi’s memories of her mother were blurry. After all, she passed away when Su Zhixi was only three. But the girl still remembered the warmth of her mother’s hands, along with her gentle smile.

To her, “mother” meant warmth and security.

Her mother’s body had not been in good shape, and she should not have gotten pregnant. But she did that for Su Guoan, only to have him cheat on her with Lin Shuyue during her pregnancy.

How else would Su Lianxi be only a year younger than she was?

Her mother found out about Su Guoan’s affair shortly after Su Zhixi was born. Her health went downhill from there, and she passed away when Su Zhixi was three.

Su Zhixi still remembered that she cried for a long time the day her mother passed. Despite her young age, she knew that no one would dote on her after her mother’s death.

The others told her that her mother was in the urn after she was cremated, so she hugged the urn to sleep and refused to let it go. But she woke up one day without the urn. She cried and pleaded with her father for it, but he insisted impatiently that he did not know. But Su Zhixi believed that someone had hidden her mother’s ashes, and she never gave up on the search.

Whether Su Lianxi actually had information or was using it as an excuse, she had to give it a go.
