Transmigrated as a Mother: Striving to Become a Winner — Chapter 14

MISS SU.

SU YANG WANTS HIS MOTHER TO COME ALONG. IF IT'S CONVENIENT FOR YOU, WHY DON'T YOU JOIN US?

MR. JIAN, DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE THE ONE BEING USED AS SOMEONE ELSE'S PAWN.

FOR SU YANG'S SAKE, I DON'T MIND BEING USED A LITTLE FROM TIME TO TIME.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE WILLING TO INDULGE HIM, BUT I REALLY DO HAVE THINGS TO DO TODAY.

BUT, MOM...

SU YANG, CRYING WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING.

BESIDES, MOM HAS A VERY TIGHT SCHEDULE TODAY. I NEED TO VISIT SEVERAL SHOPPING MALLS TO CHOOSE FABRICS.

WHAT KIND OF FABRIC ARE YOU LOOKING FOR, MISS SU?

THE JIAN GROUP HAS SUBSIDIARIES IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY. YOU'D HAVE A MUCH WIDER SELECTION IF YOU CHOSE FABRICS DIRECTLY FROM ONE OF MY SUBSIDIARIES INSTEAD OF SHOPPING AT THE MALL.

HOW ABOUT WE BUY THE PUPPY FOR SU YANG FIRST, AND THEN I'LL TAKE YOU TO CHOOSE FABRICS?

I DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED WITH JIAN ZHANYAN ANY MORE THAN NECESSARY, BUT...

IF I CAN GET ALL THE FABRIC I NEED IN ONE GO, I'LL HAVE MORE TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE COMPETITION.

ALL RIGHT.

YAY!

WELL, I SHOULDN'T BE SO STUBBORN ABOUT EVERYTHING.

I'LL TAKE YOU TWO OUT FOR BREAKFAST FIRST.

MR. JIAN, YOUR MEAL IS SERVED.

STEAMED BUNS!

WHY DID HE BRING US HERE TO EAT...? IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IN THE ORIGINAL NOVEL, THE MALE LEAD BROUGHT THE FEMALE LEAD HERE TO MEET HIS FRIENDS.

THE WHOLE POINT WAS TO EMPHASIZE THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE FEMALE LEAD AND THE SUPPORTING FEMALE CHARACTER.

THE FEMALE LEAD WON EVERYONE'S AFFECTION, WHILE SU QIAN, THE INSECURE SUPPORTING CHARACTER WHO DESPERATELY TRIED TO PLEASE PEOPLE, WAS DESPISED BY EVERYONE.

HMPH! AFTER EATING, I'M BLACKLISTING THIS RESTAURANT. I'LL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!

SLOW DOWN. YOU CAN COME HERE WHENEVER YOU WANT FROM NOW ON.

REALLY?!

OF COURSE.

LOOKS LIKE THOSE TWO HAVE GOTTEN A LOT CLOSER.

THE WAITER TOLD ME YOU WERE HERE, BUT I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM. YOU'RE NOT AT THE OFFICE, AND YOU'RE ACTUALLY OUT HAVING BREAKFAST AT THIS HOUR...

SUN LINGYUE, JIAN ZHANYAN'S FRIEND.

ZHANYAN, WHO ARE THESE TWO? AREN'T YOU GOING TO INTRODUCE US?

JIAN ZHANYAN, THE ETERNAL BACHELOR, ACTUALLY BROUGHT A WOMAN AND A CHILD HERE TO EAT?!

THIS IS SU YANG, MY SON.

THIS IS SU QIAN, HIS MOTHER.

SUN LINGYUE, MY FRIEND.

H-HELLO...

WHAT KIND OF INCREDIBLE WOMAN MANAGED TO WIN ZHANYAN OVER AND EVEN HAVE HIS CHILD?!

HELLO.

DON'T DISTURB US WHILE WE'RE EATING.

YOU WON'T EVEN LET ME SHAKE HANDS?!

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU, MAN? YOU GOT YOURSELF A GIRLFRIEND AND HAD A KID WITHOUT TELLING YOUR BUDDIES, AND NOW YOU'RE GUARDING THEM LIKE A DRAGON GUARDING ITS TREASURE?!

BY THE WAY, I'M HOLDING AN ART EXHIBITION EARLY NEXT MONTH.

I WANT TO SEE JUST HOW IMPRESSIVE THE WOMAN WHO MANAGED TO WIN OVER JIAN ZHANYAN REALLY IS.

MISS SU, I'D BE DELIGHTED IF YOU CAME.

THANK YOU. I'LL COME IF I HAVE TIME.

WE STILL HAVE TO BUY THE PUPPY! WHEN CAN WE LEAVE?

YOU'VE ALL FINISHED EATING, RIGHT? THEN LET'S GO NOW.

BUY A PUPPY?!

YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE, USED TO... MMPH!

KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN! YOU'LL SCARE THE CHILD!

S-SORRY...

THAT UNCLE IS KIND OF SCARY...

WE'RE LEAVING NOW.

GOODBYE, UNCLE!

GOODBYE...

GUYS, I'VE GOT A HUGE DISCOVERY!

@JIAN ZHANYAN, YOU HAVE A SON?! YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A SON?!

SUN LINGYUE, YOU BRAT! STOP SPREADING RUMORS ABOUT ME! @JIAN ZHANYAN

I'M NOT LYING! ASK HIM YOURSELVES IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME!

HAHAHA! FUNNIEST JOKE OF THE YEAR! @JIAN ZHANYAN

BY THE WAY, MR. JIAN...

HERE ARE THE TICKETS TO YOUR FRIEND'S ART EXHIBITION. KEEP THEM.

MOM, DON'T YOU WANT TO GO? YOU USUALLY LOVE VISITING ART EXHIBITIONS.

B-BECAUSE MOM DOESN'T LIKE THAT UNCLE'S NAME.

"SUN LINGYUE"... THE NAME SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE WHO'S ALWAYS LATE, DON'T YOU THINK?

WHO'S TALKING BEHIND MY BACK AGAIN?

YOU SHOULD KEEP THE TICKETS. I SAW THE DOCUMENTS ON YOUR DESK EARLIER. AREN'T YOU ENTERING A DESIGN COMPETITION SOON?

SUN LINGYUE HAS PLENTY OF CONNECTIONS IN THAT FIELD. GETTING TO KNOW HIM MIGHT HELP YOU.

NO NEED.

HE'S YOUR FRIEND. IF I USE HIS CONNECTIONS, IT'LL PUT YOU IN AN AWKWARD POSITION.

I APPRECIATE YOUR KINDNESS, MR. JIAN.

"PUT ME IN AN AWKWARD POSITION"?

SUN LINGYUE HAS SO MANY RESOURCES THAT COULD HELP HER, YET SHE'S REFUSING TO USE ANY OF THEM JUST BECAUSE HE'S CONNECTED TO ME.

IS THIS WOMAN TRYING TO DRAW A CLEAR LINE BETWEEN US?
