The next morning, Su Ding personally drove Jin Ye to the airport.
After leaving the airport, she first returned to her shop for a while. Seeing that Zhang Xiaoya seemed to be no different, she didn't think about it anymore.
During this period, Shao Zhenggang called, likely to apologize for the previous incident.
Su Ding was already numb, and merely said coldly, "There's no need to apologize. I advise the Shao family to be more careful with their conduct."
She then hung up the phone, not wanting to dwell on those messy matters.
Shao Zhenggang felt Su Ding's indifference and regretted it even more. If he had known, he wouldn't have hurt his daughter again for the sake of his so-called family.
In the afternoon, Su Ding received news of Jin Ye's safe arrival, reminded him of a few things, and then began to read scripts. Time passed quite fulfillingly.
In the evening, Su Ding called Wang Siwei to the study to discuss the matter of suing Xu Rong.
Wang Siwei was very calm, far beyond the childishness expected of his age. In these past few days, he seemed to have become more mature.
"Auntie, I've made up my mind. I want to sue her."
Wang Siwei said with a firm voice.
He had thought a lot during these days, about his family in the past, about his mother and that man later on. He knew that a broken mirror could not be mended, and what happened had happened. Dwelling on it would only increase his troubles, so he wanted to take back what was his.
In reality, given his young age, it was difficult to have a real chance of winning. However, the Jin family was helping him.
With the Jin family's power, winning the lawsuit was not a difficult matter.
Seeing that his decision was made, Su Ding invited a lawyer to their home the next day to draft the lawsuit, which was submitted to the court that same day.
Next, they would await notification from the court.
Two days later, Su Ding received news that the court suggested proceeding with mediation first, and the lawyer was already in negotiations with Xu Rong and Zhang Gang.
This day was a Sunday. Su Ding was watching television at home with the children when a maid came to report, "Miss, there's a Ms. Xu at the door who wishes to see you. She said her name is Xu Rong."
Upon hearing Xu Rong's name, Su Ding instinctively looked at Wang Siwei.
Wang Siwei was currently on the sofa with Jin Xiaoxi and Su Xiaorui, eating snacks. Hearing that Xu Rong had come, a sad expression appeared on his childish face.
"Auntie, what is she here for?"
Wang Siwei asked softly, his voice cautious.
Su Ding walked over and stroked his hair, saying gently, "She's probably here for mediation. Do you want to see her?"
"...No."
Wang Siwei hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head.
He had been living at the Jin family's for several months, and his mother had never come to see him. Only after he had instructed his lawyer to file a lawsuit did she show up for the first time.
How ironic.
Looking at Wang Siwei's demeanor, Su Ding felt a pang of sympathy.
She stood up and said to Jin Xiaoxi and Su Xiaorui, "You two watch for now, Mom is going out."
"Okay!"
Jin Xiaoxi patted Wang Siwei's shoulder and said, "Siwei, it's no big deal."
Su Xiaorui also took his hand with her soft little hand and said earnestly, "We're a family now, don't be afraid of her!"
Wang Siwei nodded.
Su Ding walked out the door and looked at Xu Rong, who was waiting outside, frowning.
"Miss Su, where is Siwei?"
Xu Rong, with a fawning smile on her face, stepped forward and asked.
Su Ding observed her. Xu Rong wore light makeup and had meticulously styled her hair. She was also carrying children's gifts in her hand and smiling sweetly, appearing very gentle.
However, at this moment, Su Ding felt that Xu Rong resembled a stepmother.
After all, no biological mother would visit her son so earnestly and cautiously.
"Siwei doesn't want to see you. You can talk to me."
Su Ding said faintly.
"Ah..."
Xu Rong was stunned, her expression one of surprise. "Didn't he always hope I'd visit him? I was busy before, and now I'm here, with the gift he wanted most. Why isn't he coming down? That's impossible..."
Her gaze towards Su Ding held a hint of doubt and blame.
