Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Failure

When Aunt Chu saw her daughter, Chu Tian, coming back with a lunch box, a smile appeared on her face.

Gu Zi had just come to the countryside, so she definitely didn’t know that she had to deliver food to Su Shen at noon. Aunt Chu planned to use this opportunity to let her daughter interact more with Su Shen. Maybe they would hit it off, and Su Shen would eventually send that city girl packing!

“How did it go? What did you talk about with Su Shen?” Aunt Chu wondered why Chu Tian had taken so long, suspecting that they must have talked a lot.

Chu Tian had initially kept her head down, but now, hearing her mother’s words, she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. She bit her lip and looked at her mother with a resentful expression.

Aunt Chu’s expression showed a slight frown of confusion as she approached her daughter, concerned. “What happened? Why are you crying?”

“It’s your terrible idea!” Chu Tian exclaimed, handing the lunchbox to Aunt Chu and walking towards the house, her face filled with sadness.

Aunt Chu held the lunch box in her hand and was slightly stunned.

It seemed like Su Shen hadn’t eaten the meal she had prepared.

Su Shen hadn’t eaten the food that her daughter brought over to him?

Aunt Chu furrowed her brows and quickly followed her daughter into the house. She anxiously asked, “You have to tell me what happened!”

Chu Tian stood in the room and looked at Aunt Chu with her mouth pursed. The resentment in her eyes could not be more obvious.

“I won’t know what happened if you don’t tell me. I’m your mother. If you tell me, I can help you think of a way!” Aunt Chu treasured Chu Tian very much. She couldn’t bear to scold Chu Tian at all, so she could only suppress her temper and coax her.

“Brother Su didn’t touch my food at all! It’s because that girl from the Lin family also came to deliver lunch. She was dressed like a seductress and instantly captivated Big Brother Su. He accepted her meal and didn’t want mine!” Chu Tian wiped away her tears with her hand, sniffled, and said pitifully, “So many people were watching; it was so embarrassing. I won’t be able to show my face anymore!”

The more she thought about the contemptuous looks those people gave her, she felt even more miserable.

She was a young lady, and she had delivered lunch to a married man in front of everyone. Even if they didn’t say it out loud, they must be criticizing her behind her back!

Aunt Chu’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she asked, “Who delivered the lunch?”

“The Lin family’s daughter!” Chu Tian became angrier as she thought about it, and tears streamed down her cheeks. “Mom, did you deliberately embarrass me? I couldn’t bear it in front of so many people!”

“Sweetie, how could you think that? Mom would never do that.”

“Really?” Chu Tian didn’t believe her mother’s words at all and said with no mercy, “Didn’t you say she can’t cook? But it turns out she can. Didn’t you say she had no idea she had to bring lunch for Su Shen? But it turns out she went and did it!”

The more Chu Tian thought about it, the more she believed it was her mother’s fault. She cried out, “I’m your own daughter! How could you do this to me?”

Aunt Chu’s mind was blank for a moment. She had never expected that woman to be capable of cooking.

Even if she could cook, how did she find out that she needed to bring lunch for Su Shen?

Aunt Chu shook herself out of her thoughts. The most important issue now wasn’t about the woman bringing lunch; it was about her job.

If she lost her job at Su’s house, she would lose fifty yuan a month. Her nearly senile mother-in-law would torment her every day!

Aunt Chu frowned, regretting her decision to send her daughter to deliver the lunch. If she had gone herself, maybe she could have embarrassed that woman.

Chu Tian cried sadly. Seeing her mother in a daze, she stomped her feet and went straight into her room.

Chu Tian’s forceful door slam snapped Aunt Chu back to reality. She hurriedly walked to her daughter’s door and kindly said, “Tian Tian, don’t worry. I’ll figure this out. I promise I will find a way for you to marry Su Shen.”

However, all Aunt Chu received in response was Chu Tian’s heartbroken sobs.

Aunt Chu continued toward Su’s house, her brain racing as she pondered how to drive that woman out of Su Shen’s life.

As she reached the Su family residence doorstep, a sudden inspiration flashed in her mind. Her eyes instantly lit up, and the corners of her lips curled up.

For Su Shen, the most crucial factor was the feelings of those three children. As long as all three of them sided with her, she would win this battle

Aunt Chu breathed a sigh of relief, her lips curling into a confident smile. She turned and headed toward the path where Su Bing and Su Dong would be returning from school.
