152: Chapter 152 He Changed His Name and Surname 152: Chapter 152 He Changed His Name and Surname Su He turned around at the sound and saw An Xueyin, who she hadn’t seen for several days.
An Xueyin was dressed in a dark, tight-fitting dress and walked towards her in high heels.
Su He looked at her calmly and said indifferently, “What, have you come to settle a score with me?”
Her arrogance and composure really annoyed An Xueyin.
“Su He, do you think you can be proud for much longer?” she snapped with a sneer.
Hearing this, Su He slightly furrowed her brow, genuinely curious, “Oh?
Then why don’t you tell me why I can’t be proud?”
Then, she followed with a smirk on her lips: “Or is it that you haven’t had enough time inside?”
An Xueyin clenched her fists at her sides, constantly reminding herself not to get angry or lose her temper.
This bitch was deliberately provoking her, and she would definitely not fall for it.
Her facial muscles twitched, then relaxed, forcing a smile that looked more painful than crying.
Then she heard her say, “Su He, do you think your mom died from illness?”
Su He was slightly taken aback, but her expression remained calm.
An Xueyin went on, “Your mom did have some underlying conditions back then, but they weren’t fatal.
She was triggered by seeing a video of your dad and my mom having an affair.
Although medical resources weren’t as good as they are now, she could have lived with the proper treatment.”
As she spoke, she leaned in close to Su He, a cold smile curling on her lips.
“Guess why she didn’t get proper treatment?
Guess who showed that video to your mom?”
Throughout this, Su He never missed a single flicker of expression on her face.
“An Xueyin, what are you trying to say?
Just get to the point; no need to beat around the bush,” she said coldly.
An Xueyin stared at her, clicked her tongue, and said: “Su He, you really are heartless.
Look at yourself, hearing that your mother didn’t die a natural death, and yet you’re not even surprised, your heart really is tough.”
Su He gave her a glance, said nothing, and seeing that she wasn’t going to spill, turned to leave.
An Xueyin saw her walking away and quickly reached out to grab her.
“Wait, don’t go!”
The next second, Su He shook off her hand and swept her with a cold gaze: “I don’t have the leisure to stick around here playing riddles with you.
Speak quickly if you have something to say, or get lost!”
An Xueyin was so furious she bit her teeth and snorted through her nose, “Su He, do you think the An Family holds you in any regard?
I’m telling you, without the Jiang Family, you’re nothing.
As for the matter of your mother, you will never know the so-called truth in this lifetime.”
Having said that, she turned and left with a breezy stride.
Su He watched her back as it receded into the distance, squinting slightly.
She stood in place for a few seconds, then turned and entered the hospital.
–
At noon.
She went looking for Su Tianyi.
She told him exactly what An Xueyin had said.
Upon hearing it, Su Tianyi furrowed his brows.
“The reports from the time of your mother’s death, your grandfather and I reviewed them after she passed, and we found nothing unusual.
If what she’s saying is true, the only explanation would be that someone tampered with your mother’s medical records, so we didn’t spot any discrepancies.”
“Back in the day, if we had known about your mom’s illness sooner, it wouldn’t have been dragged out.
By the time we got the news, it was that your mom had passed away; we didn’t even know when she had gotten sick.”
“A lot of things happened in between that we didn’t know about, your grandfather had asked An Chengyuan about it, but he said nothing.”
Su He sat in the chair, head slightly lowered as she listened.
A flicker of an unusual expression crossed her lowered eyes, and then she looked up, speaking softly, “Is it still possible to find the doctor who treated my mom back then?”
Su Tianyi pondered for a while: “Your mother was treated at Central Second Hospital back then; I’ll have someone check, we should be able to find information.”
Su He fell silent for a moment before saying, “Uncle, also pull up all the medical records of my mother from back then for me.”
Su Tianyi answered, “Alright, I understand.”
As Su He stood up ready to leave, she suddenly remembered something and added, “Uncle, let’s not tell grandma and grandpa about this for now.”
Su Tianyi looked at her and nodded, “I understand, but don’t overthink it.”
“Okay.”
Upon returning to the office, Su He indeed felt somewhat distracted.
She wondered, what was An Xueyin’s purpose in suddenly coming to tell her this?
She didn’t believe An Xueyin had good intentions, and the truth behind the matter still needed to be verified.
…
At seven in the evening, Su He finally left the office.
She drove her car towards Moon Gift Villa.
The night embraced the brilliantly lit city.
It was almost eight by the time she got home.
As soon as she entered, a fluffy thing charged towards her.
She instinctively dodged to the side.
Focusing her gaze, she saw a golden puppy in front of her.
This…
Where did it come from?
“Paomian, wait for me~”
At that moment, Su Baobao caught up, shouting as he ran.
Su He looked up at the little guy: “Paomian?”
When Su Baobao saw Su He had returned, he got even more excited.
He ran over, picked up the golden retriever puppy, and with his little head tilted upwards, he cooed, “Mommy, you’re back~ Look, this is the little pet Daddy got for me.”
Su He saw that despite his small stature, he was holding onto a puppy almost as big as himself, clearly struggling.
“Put the puppy down first,” she said.
“Mommy, its name is Paomian, not puppy,” the little one corrected.
Su He: “…”
“Alright, put Paomian down first.”
Su Baobao obediently put Paomian down.
Su He looked at the human and dog before her, feeling a bit of a headache.
It wasn’t that she disliked pets, but raising one wasn’t an easy task.
There were many things to be mindful of.
Last night, she and Jiang Yan had agreed that she would not consider having a second child for now.
And every day Su Yimo would ask her, she told him to find a way to deal with his son, since the issue started with him, he should be the one to solve it.
So, this was his solution?
She looked at the man sitting on the living room sofa, then glanced at Su Yimo, playing with the puppy on the carpet beside him.
She raised an eyebrow: “Is this your so-called solution?”
Jiang Yan put down the book in his hand, looked up at her, and said slowly, “Mhm, to divert his attention, and he seems quite happy about it.”
Su He: “…”
The man continued: “Don’t worry, it will be fine, and he himself promised to keep it permanently, not to abandon it halfway through.”
This was precisely what Su He was most worried about; she feared the little guy might give up caring for the pet after an initial enthusiasm.
“Young Madam, Young Master, dinner is ready.” It was then Uncle Zhong approached to tell them.
The man acknowledged with a “Mhm.”
Su He called out to Su Yimo, taking him to wash his hands.
While washing hands, Su Yimo looked at Su He in the mirror and said, “Mommy, does this mean there will be four of us in the family now?”
Su He looked at his increasingly cute little chubby face, stretched out her hand to pinch his cheek, and smiled, “Yes, so you have to take good care of your little brother Paomian, you can’t lose him, understand?”
The little guy nodded vigorously, “Mhm, okay~”
Su He dried his hands for him and said, “Alright, let’s go eat.”
“…”
After dinner, the family of three went for a walk outside with their new member.
Su Yimo was in charge of walking the dog himself.
He was leading Paomian in front, while the couple followed behind.
Under the bright moonlit sky, this scene seemed quite enchanting.
Su He wrestled with herself for quite a while internally, but still decided to tell the man about what An Xueyin had said to her today.
After she finished speaking, she added, “Jiang Yan, I’m telling you this not because I want you to help me.”
She didn’t speak out to seek his help, but rather because a voice in her heart kept telling her that there are some things between husband and wife that should be communicated openly, without the need for intentional concealment.
As soon as she finished speaking, the man stopped in his tracks.
She stopped as well and looked at him: “What’s wrong?”
In the night, the man’s deep black eyes were like two sparkling diamonds, shining brightly.
“I know,” his deep, magnetic voice sounded.
He didn’t deny that his wife was smart and capable of solving problems on her own; sometimes, indeed, she didn’t need his help and could handle things by herself.
But, he likewise hoped that she would learn to depend on him.
He raised his hand to tuck the stray hair by her cheek behind her ear, his palm caressing her fair side face.
“I’m glad that you would tell me about this voluntarily.
But you also need to know that you are my wife, the mother of my child, and the most important person in my heart.
So you can completely depend on me, but at the same time, you can always be yourself.”
The man’s husky voice was emphatic, piercing through the night air and into her ears alongside the breeze.
She stood there in a daze, only she knew that her heart had started racing again.
The atmosphere was actually quite nice, but then suddenly, a “woof woof…” broke in.
Both were startled for a moment, they lowered their eyes and saw that Su Yimo had come over with Paomian at some point.
Paomian tilted its little head and barked at them twice, as if asking: “Why have we stopped?”
“Mommy, Daddy, what are you talking about?” the little one also looked up curiously and asked.
Su He cleared her throat and said, “We’ll walk for another ten minutes before going back, it’s getting late, we have to take a bath soon.”
“Oh, okay~”
…
The next day.
“What did you say?
Your Master bought a little dog for Xixi to keep her company just to shift the little one’s desire for a sister?”
Jing Xuan thought she was hallucinating and asked for confirmation.
Su He looked at her in shock, “Hmm” agreed.
Jing Xuan chuckled a few times: “I have to say, it’s a pretty good idea.
It takes President Jiang to come up with something like this.”
Su He didn’t continue on the subject and instead looked at her: “Why did you come to the hospital?”
She said, “I came to get medicine for my mother, and since it was still early, I came to find you.”
Su He asked, “How has auntie been lately?”
Jing Xuan said helplessly, “Just the same as before, lucid at times and confused at others.”
“Occasionally when she recalls my dad and my brother, she locks herself in the room and cries secretly.”
Talking about Cheng Hui, she felt really sorry for her mom, who should have had a happy family.
However, after the tragedies of her father and brother, she completely broke down.
Su He had previously visited Mrs.
Jing, and with her condition, she can only maintain with medication.
The simultaneous loss of her husband and son indeed caused her severe psychological trauma, and as of now, there is no cure-all for this mental illness.
Only the company of family and her own ability to completely let go and move forward can help, otherwise, she would live a life that alternates between sanity and madness.
“However, it seems that her lucid periods have been getting longer lately,” Jing Xuan mentioned.
Su He said, “Let me find a time to visit auntie with you.”
“By the way, Baobao, isn’t An Xueyin not working at the hospital anymore?
I went to meet a partner this morning and saw her with people from An Group, and they called her Manager An,” Jing Xuan asked curiously.
Su He slightly narrowed her eyes and nodded, then told her about what happened a week ago.
However, what she didn’t expect was that An Xueyin had joined the An Group so soon, which was indeed beyond her expectations.
Jing Xuan exclaimed, “So, she started working at the An Group less than two days after coming out?
That’s really quick.”
She sighed.
Suddenly, she remembered something, “Right, Baobao, I remember you mentioned before that Aunt Wanqiu still has shares in the An Group, did you get them back?”
Su He’s gaze dimmed, and after pondering for a moment she spoke, “No, she wants me to change my family name and return to the An Family before giving up my mother’s shares.”
Jing Xuan: “…That’s a bit too much.”
“But that was one of the agreements my mother and grandfather signed back then.
After her death, the shares that belonged to her can only be inherited by someone with the An surname, and cannot be inherited by people with other surnames.
When my mom gave birth to me and let me take her surname, it was a decision she and my dad had made long ago, saying that the second child would take the An surname.
But she never expected that after giving birth to me, her health became so depleted, and she couldn’t get pregnant again until her death.”
Su He narrated these matters very calmly.
She can put the matter of the shares aside for now, as she has more important things to confirm.
This morning, she received all her mother’s medical records sent by her younger uncle.
She carefully read through them twice and then found two questionable points.
But these two questions were just her suspicions without evidence.
Only by finding the doctor from back then could she solve her doubts.
However, her younger uncle told her this morning that the doctor had resigned six months after her mother’s death, and his whereabouts are currently unknown, so it would take some time to find him.
The doctor’s resignation was not strange, after all, he resigned six months later, not immediately, so no one was suspicious.
Now thinking about it carefully, there indeed are many small details hidden.
If there were other factors at play in her mother’s death, she could only say that whoever arranged all this was very skilled and extremely careful, leaving almost no flaws to be found.
It could be seen from that medical record that it was meticulous and leak-proof; truly not a single clue could be found.
Even her grandfather and younger uncle didn’t find any problems with the medical record at that time.
Actually, she was not certain there was a problem; she just had some doubts.
If it hadn’t been for what An Xueyin said, maybe she would have thought the same as her grandfather did back then.
It was only after the seed of suspicion was planted that she became more sensitive to these details.
As long as he is still alive, there must be traces left behind.
–
A week later.
Bai Yang gave her a reply.
“Boss, I’ve found the person you asked me to look for.”
“Where?” Su He asked.
Bai Yang said, “In a remote county of Beijing.
It was really tough to find him.
Not only did he change his name and surname, but the bastard also changed his age!
His parents died early, just leaving him behind.
He got married a year after leaving Yue City and now has a son and a daughter.
He must have been prepared early on, always hiding and never showing his face.
Even his mobile phone and bank cards were registered with his wife’s ID card; he has none of his own.
Moreover, he has never gone out to work.
His current name is Lin Yuanshan.
If it wasn’t for him showing up to attend his son’s wedding, leaving a trace in the big data, I really couldn’t have found him.”
“This guy must have a guilty conscience.
If not, who would change their name and surname so deliberately, and even change their age?”
Su He’s voice was cold, “Give me the exact address, and make sure no one else catches wind of this.”
“Okay, I got it, boss.”
He had just finished speaking when he added, “Boss, do you want me to accompany you?
The place is a bit remote, and it’s inconvenient for you to go there alone as a young lady.
If you’d like, Hu Yang can accompany you instead.”
“There’s no need, I’ll go with Lan Yan,” Su He said.
Bai Yang almost forgot that Lan Yan existed; with her, ten Hu Yangs and he wouldn’t compare.
“Alright then, just remember to contact me if you need anything.”
Su He didn’t waste words with him and hung up the phone directly.
Bai Yang: “…”
Is the boss severing ties after crossing the river?
