She was scared, so she abandoned the child. She originally planned to go south to work, which was thousands of miles away from her hometown. Her family couldn't find her here. She thought that if she could find a job in a factory, she and her husband could work hard and earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, which would be much better than staying in her hometown.
Netizens guessed one thing wrong.
Yan Susu didn't intentionally go to a far place to lose Jiang Xiaoman; she was originally a local from Langshan.
Yan Susu, whose real name is Yan Xiaofang, is from Yandian Township, which is dozens of miles away from Langshan Town.
It was a poorer place than Langshan Town.
Although Langshan Town is also poor, many families received government compensation and built new houses in the years when they were relocated and a reservoir was built. However, the situation is different in Yandian Township, which is dozens of miles away. There is neither a hydroelectric power station nor a tea garden there. The local people grow potatoes and corn every year, and the total annual income of the whole family is only a few thousand yuan.
Yan Xiaofang grew up in a place where even rice was scarce. All four of her sisters dropped out of school before finishing elementary school.
Girls of this age in the city are probably still pestering their mothers for toys, but in the mountains, they can already help the family cut pig feed, feed chickens, and husk corn.
Yan Xiaofang was afraid of hardship since she was a child, and because of her personality, she was seduced by a boy from the same village when she was a teenager.
That boy has two older sisters who work in the city. He's the best-dressed person in the village; he even has two pairs of sneakers! He can even afford instant noodles from the corner store!
After chasing after Yan Xiaofang and delivering instant noodles to her for a month, Yan Xiaofang became his "wife".
Two children who are completely under the legal marriage age are actually living together.
Yan Xiaofang's parents asked the groom's family for 5,000 yuan as a bride price, gave their daughter a new quilt, and that's how they "married her off".
Yan Xiaofang thought she had finally escaped her misery and married into a good family.
Who would have thought that the boy was so generous because he was the only boy in his family, and they naturally doted on him. However, they weren't so kind to Yan Xiaofang, the daughter-in-law who had married into the family.
After marrying into the family, Yan Xiaofang's life became even more difficult than when she was at her parents' home. Before, the three sisters shared the housework at her parents' home, but at her husband's home, her mother-in-law dumped all the housework on her.
She serves the whole family during the day, and then continues to serve the man at night.
She finally got pregnant and thought she had finally made it through.
Actually, no. She still did all the housework, and because she was pregnant, she couldn't do whatever she wanted. Her husband also started going to the village to flirt with other girls, and even some young wives who stayed in the countryside... Of course, her mother-in-law couldn't bear to blame her son, so Yan Xiaofang became the punching bag.
She couldn't stand this kind of life anymore.
She wanted to abort the baby, but she didn't even have the money for it. When she asked her husband for money, she was met with a beating from him and her mother-in-law.
Yan Xiaofang kept all her resentment to herself. Finally, after giving birth to her son, she secretly sneered at the joyful faces of her in-laws.
She disguised herself very well, and her in-laws also thought, "What trouble can a woman who has already given birth cause?" So they gradually relaxed their surveillance of her.
Then one day, she used the excuse of taking her child to town for vaccinations to ask her mother-in-law for two hundred yuan. She was also cunning; she first took a bus to Langshan Town, abandoned her child, then took a bus from Langshan Town to the county seat, and finally boarded an unlicensed taxi she flagged down outside the bus station, eventually making her way to S Province.
The "fellow villagers who went out to work together" that she later told Mr. Jin about was also someone she met in an unlicensed taxi.
When Mr. Jin heard Yan Susu say that she had been married once, he wasn't too angry. After all, she was a married woman. When he was young, he used to like that type for a while. It was very exciting. What bothered him was that Yan Susu had even lost her own son in order to live a better life.
If she could be so heartless to the child she gave birth to, President Jin couldn't help but wonder how much of Yan Susu's unwavering love for him over the years was truly genuine...
After all, he chose Yan Susu because he valued her honesty and integrity. He's not young anymore, he can't play around anymore, and he just wants to find an honest and reliable woman to serve him and live out his old age in peace.
But if Yan Susu's true nature is not like this, but a scheming and ruthless femme fatale... then he would have to seriously consider whether he should deal with this hidden danger before he loses his ability to take care of himself.
After all, he had lived a life of glory and didn't want to be lying in a hospital bed in his old age, having his oxygen tube pulled by the person he trusted most. That would truly be a death without peace.
Under President Jin's scrutinizing gaze, Yan Susu felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
She knew that every word she uttered could determine whether she would live a life of wealth and honor or one of poverty and destitution for the rest of her life...
What kind of person is Mr. Kim?
Having shared a bed for over twenty years, Yan Susu never dared to be sure that she truly understood this man.
At first, she was just a maid in one of the Jin family's villas in S Province, which used to be where Mr. Jin kept his mistresses. Later, Mr. Jin got tired of her, took the villa back, and gave the woman a sum of money to send her away.
Of course, the reason she got rid of her ex was because she slept with a younger nanny.
At that time, Yan Susu herself never expected that she would actually marry President Jin.
Having witnessed the Jin family's wealth and status, Yan Xiaofang no longer wanted to marry a factory worker.
If she had to choose, she would rather be like Mr. Jin's previous mistresses, living in a big villa, driving a luxury car worth millions, and having hundreds of thousands of yuan in living expenses every month, with no worries about food and drink!
Moreover, Mr. Jin is very generous to his lovers. For girlfriends who break up peacefully, he will give them at least several million yuan as compensation for their lost youth. For those who are particularly favored, in addition to the breakup fee, giving them houses and cars is just a matter of a word.
Taking advantage of the lull in Mr. Jin's divorce proceedings with his ex-wife, Yan Xiaofang naturally became Mr. Jin's mistress.
She never regretted her decision. So what if she couldn't get married? The women in her hometown who had gotten married were living miserable lives. They couldn't even afford a piece of cured meat all year round, and they ate either roasted potatoes or boiled potatoes!
Yan Xiaofang silently did some mental calculations. As long as she served President Jin well, he might give her an apartment and a breakup fee of several million yuan after he got tired of her.
In the capital city of S province, a house can be worth several million yuan, and a better one can be worth tens of millions. With a breakup fee of several million yuan, Yan Xiaofang will be set for life.
If she's lucky, she might give birth to another child or daughter for Mr. Jin. Mr. Jin will give these children a large sum of money every month for living expenses, so raising the children is like making money for her!
Which of those housewives who quit their jobs after getting married to stay home full-time to take care of their children would have a husband who gives them 100,000 yuan a month for living expenses?
Yan Xiaofang humbled herself to the point of being insignificant, but unexpectedly, she touched the heart of President Jin, who was exhausted by women. She inexplicably rose to power and became President Jin's last wife...
He thought her original name was too rustic and he couldn't take her out in public. After deciding to marry her, Mr. Jin specially consulted a master to give her a new name.
It is said that the name "Yan Susu" can bring good fortune to her husband, ensuring peace and tranquility in the home and good health for her husband.
Sure enough, after changing his name, Mr. Jin's health improved significantly.
Mr. Jin felt that this was all thanks to the master for changing his wife's name, so he sent a large number of thank-you gifts to the master.
Only Yan Susu sneered inwardly.
Why did Mr. Jin suddenly get better? It's because he's getting old, his strength is failing him, he doesn't go out and mess around, and he goes to bed early and gets up early. How could his health not be good?
However, she kept all of this to herself.
She is no longer the maid Yan Xiaofang; she is Madam Jin, Yan Susu.
Mr. Jin gave her unimaginable wealth, but Yan Susu still dared not slack off in the slightest.
She will maintain this caution until the day Mr. Jin is placed in an urn.
Yan Susu had been cautious in her words and actions for more than ten years, and she never expected that she would be defeated by the child she had abandoned in the market.
Is this her retribution?
no!
She endured so much injustice and suffering to finally achieve her current life as a wealthy lady. If Mr. Jin wants to divorce her because of this, wouldn't all her carefulness and compromise over the past ten years have been wasted?
That's human nature; we don't appreciate things when we don't have them. But once we get something, losing it is incredibly painful.
Under President Jin's scrutinizing gaze, Yan Susu's mind raced, using almost all the intelligence she had in her life.
Suddenly, Yan Susu remembered something that President Jin had said to her when he divorced his third wife.
"Fangfang, wouldn't it be wonderful if every woman in the world were like you, never fighting or competing, and easily satisfied?"
"Tell me, haven't I been good enough to them? Why are they still not satisfied?"
Easily satisfied?
Honest and dutiful?
Yes! At Mr. Jin's age, he has both wealth and status, so what is he after?
Why did he choose to marry a rural nanny instead of those successful career women, female PhDs, and female celebrities?
Yan Susu felt as if the fog had suddenly lifted, and she knew how to answer the question...
Chapter 232
"Old Yan, I'm sorry, this child might be the child I lost all those years ago..."
Yan Susu slowly squatted down in front of President Jin, her soft and fragrant body nestled tightly against his legs. Her tender and affectionate eyes were filled with tears as she cried silently, her heart breaking.
“I was only seventeen years old then. I didn’t understand anything. I was so scared. I was afraid that I would never be able to leave that mountain, and that my child would be ruined by that family, just like his father.”
“I admit I wasn’t brave enough, but I really had no other choice at the time but to leave him in our richest town.”
“I worked myself to the bone to earn money, hoping that one day I could go back and bring that child to my side.”
"But then, you...you took me, and we had Chengjie. I know they all look down on me, laughing at me for being a little nanny from the mountains. Chengjie is already a bit insecure, and if he finds out his mother has another son outside...I'm so scared. I don't dare tell you, I don't dare tell Chengjie, sob sob sob~"
Yan Susu cried her heart out, tears streaming down her face, but President Jin remained expressionless.
"Now that I know, what are you going to do with that child?"
My child! My child! I've already abandoned him, what am I supposed to do now?
Yan Susu was seething with hatred, but she knew that this was not the answer President Jin wanted.
If she dares to say today that she doesn't want to acknowledge this biological son, she probably won't have to wait until tomorrow; she'll be meeting with Mr. Kim's personal divorce lawyer tonight...
"I... I want to meet that kid. I heard he couldn't find a job after graduating from university and is now selling goods online via live streaming. If possible, could you please help him find a job?"
“I’ve neglected this child all these years, honey. You know I’m useless and can’t help him much. I can’t very well ask you to raise the child for me. But if he gets married and has children in the future, I will help him have a proper wedding, and I will also go to take care of my daughter-in-law during her postpartum period…”
Mr. Jin nodded secretly at what he said.
Although this wife is not as smart and capable as his previous wives, her greatest virtue is that she is honest and obedient. She is willing to acknowledge her own son and even wants to find a wife for him, so she seems to be a conscientious person.
Thinking of this, President Jin sighed, pulled Yan Susu into his arms, and a trace of relief appeared on his aged face.
"Look how scared you are. Since that child is yours, it's no different from my own."
"If you want to acknowledge him, then go ahead. Bring the child to our home, and he should call me 'uncle.' As his stepfather, would I mistreat him?"
Mr. Jin isn't afraid of spending money; what he fears is having the money but losing himself.
As long as Yan Susu doesn't have any bad intentions, he's just a child from her ex-husband's marriage and has no blood relation to the Jin family, so he won't have the right to inherit. At worst, they'll give him a house to use as a wedding home, and when they get married, they'll give him a big red envelope. In the past, this amount of money wouldn't even be enough for him to support a woman, but it will make Yan Susu extremely grateful to him. It's really a good deal!
Yan Susu knew exactly what her husband wanted, and immediately showed an expression of admiration and gratitude, as if President Jin were her god.
Bathed in his wife's admiring and adoring gaze, President Jin couldn't help but feel elated. He took the initiative to ask his assistant to go to Langshan and bring Jiang Xiaoman over. A paternity test still needed to be done. No matter how similar the two looked, President Jin believed more in science.
Jiang Xiaoman never expected that participating in a TV show would lead to her unexpectedly finding her biological mother!
Seeing Jiang Youliang's uneasy expression, Jiang Xiaoman didn't say anything, but she was already a little unhappy.
He has already stated to all his fans online that he doesn't want to acknowledge his biological mother or disturb her family's new life, so why are these people still haunting him?
He's busy here!
