Five years later.
A young and beautiful woman emerged from the Jiangcheng International Airport corridor.
Her delicate and refined features, fair and smooth skin, required no makeup. Her dark, long hair was simply tied back with a black elastic band, and she wore a white tracksuit.
Sunlight, clean, pure.
Shao Xu… no, she should be called Su Ding now. After leaving Jiangcheng five years ago, she had changed her name to her mother's maiden surname, wanting nothing more to do with the Shao family.
When she left, she had sworn that the moment she returned, it would be time to avenge her mother!
Now that she was back, she wouldn't let anyone who had harmed her and her mother off the hook!
Su Ding pulled her suitcase, looking around, and quickly found her target in the crowd!
A doll-like, adorable child was being held up by a man in a suit, excitedly waving at her: "Mommy, mommy!"
A smile bloomed on her beautiful face, like sunlight melting away ice and snow, warm and soothing.
She quickly walked over and took the baby, "Xiao Rui, have you missed Mommy these past few days staying at Aunt Xiao Yuan's?"
Su Xiao Rui's eyes crinkled into a smile, her chubby little hands gripping her mother's hair, "Every day!" xxs
A clear, childish voice injected a warm current into Su Ding's heart.
After her contract with the overseas company expired, Su Ding had her agent, Xiao Yuan, bring her daughter back to the country first. She herself handled her remaining affairs and was returning today.
The man in the suit respectfully said to Su Ding, "Miss Su, my name is Wang Xu. Sister Yuan had something to attend to and couldn't come, so she sent me to pick you up with the child. The car is right outside, and we can leave now."
Su Ding politely shook hands and apologized, "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom first."
Little classmate Su Xiao Rui raised her hand and said in a milky voice, "Mommy, I want to go too."
Wang Xu nodded, "Then I'll wait for you ahead."
Restroom.
Su Xiao Rui had just finished drying her little hands and was waiting for her mother by the sink. Suddenly, she saw an aunt looking at her in astonishment and asking, "Xiao Xi? What are you doing here?"
Who was Xiao Xi?
Su Xiao Rui frowned, lifting her small face, her bright, watery eyes scrutinizing the woman before her with confusion.
Seeing that she didn't seem to recognize her, Shao Lin felt a pang of annoyance.
The Jin family had taken the child, giving only five million and stubbornly refusing to let the child acknowledge her. Now, after only a month abroad, Xiao Xi didn't recognize her!
She crouched down, smiling gently, and asked, "Xiao Xi, where is Daddy?"
Su Xiao Rui grew even more bewildered, took a small step back, and pursed her lips, refusing to speak.
Shao Lin, puzzled, leaned closer, "Xiao Xi, why are you here alone? Where has Daddy gone?"
Su Xiao Rui instinctively felt a little afraid of her and took small steps backward.
Shao Lin lost patience and directly reached out to grab Xiao Rui's arm, "Xiao Xi, why aren't you talking to Auntie! Are you this ill-mannered?"
Grabbing her, Su Xiao Rui was so scared that tears welled up instantly, her mouth opening wide as she was about to cry out!
"What do you think you're doing!"
A clear, stern voice rang out. Su Ding snatched the child into her arms, glaring angrily at the "human trafficker"!
"Shao Xu?!"
Shao Lin pointed at her in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock.
Su Ding was also greatly startled. She remained composed, her cold eyes fixed on Shao Lin opposite her.
She hadn't expected to encounter her on her first day back in the country, the woman who had caused her mother's tragic death! She clenched her fists, desperately suppressing the urge to tear her apart on the spot.
Shao Lin stood up, her gaze sweeping over Su Xiao Rui and Su Ding's faces for a few seconds. Her pupils suddenly contracted!
