After leaving KFC, Li Su took Zhang Yao to the mall, bought herself the latest cell phone, and got another card.
Afterwards, the mother and daughter sat down in the mall. “Yao’er, where do you want to live?” Li Su asked.
Zhang Yao looked at her blankly. “Wherever mum goes, I will go.”
Li Su also laughed. This question was too esoteric for a six-year-old child. “Okay.” Li Su suddenly had an idea.
She got up and went to buy a map. “Here, Yao’er, you can point to anywhere. We’ll go wherever you point!”
Zhang Yao casually pointed on the map with her eyes closed. Li Su smiled. W city was a coastal city. The climate was good. It is a good place to live!
Li Su took out her cell phone and checked the housing prices in W city. After calculating the savings in her space, it was more than enough. Besides, she still had a few boxes of dollars and euros!
“Let’s go. Let’s go!”
“Where are we going, mum?” Zhang Yao asked.
“The airport! Let’s take a trip!” Li Su laughed.
The mother and daughter held hands and walked out of the mall.
“Hey, that person looks like Little Su? Is that person next to her A-Yao? Husband, do you think so?” A woman asked suspiciously on the elevator on the third floor.
The man next to her was looking down at his phone. When he heard that, he looked up and denied it immediately. “You must be mistaken. How could it be Li Su? Look at the clothes she is wearing. They are the latest styles of the season. Where did she get the money? ”
The woman thought about it carefully. Yes, the mother and daughter were wearing the new styles of the season. Li Su had no money. Even if she had money, she would be reluctant to buy those clothes. It seemed that she was really wrong.
Li Su and her daughter went to the airport by car. Li Su purchased tickets to the next flight to W city. They soon left.
On Zhang Wei’s side, he was a little irritable. In the morning, he contacted Li Su’s friends and colleagues who had been close to him in the past. They all said that they had not seen Li Su. He then called the department to ask, but they said that Li Su had already gone through the resignation procedures. However, her cell phone was not connecting. She couldn’t be reached now!
Damn, where did that bitch go?
Zhang Wei was also suspicious that these people knew what the rumours were about, and they deliberately concealed news about Li Su. He had to go to find them one by one to ask.
They all said they didn’t know.
A few days later, there was still no whereabouts of Li Su. The mother and daughter seemed to have disappeared.
In the end, Zhang Wei found a colleague of Li Su, who seemed to remember something. “I saw a mother and daughter at the Anda mall one day. From the back, they looked a bit like Little Su and her daughter. But they didn’t dress like them. They were wearing the new season’s fashion and it costs a lot of money. A-Su has no money.” After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei’s heart jumped. He asked for the specific time and address, then he rode his motorcycle to Anda mall. He found the security guard, gave him a few hundred dollars, and said that he lost something, so could he look at the surveillance footage and find clues.
The guard took the things and didn’t embarrass him. He took him to the surveillance room.
Zhang Wei stared at the bright and beautiful woman on the screen. He watched her cheerfully pay for the bill. His face flushed with anger. This slut really hid a lot of money behind his back! He wondered how she could agree to get a divorce without asking for a penny! This was why! Damn!
If he had known that she had money, he could have taken it from her!
Now, the chance was gone!
Zhang Wei went home angrily.
Qi Ya was lying on the sofa, eating fruit and watching TV. When she saw that he came with an expression of anger, she quickly sat up and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Mother Zhang was cooking chicken soup in the kitchen when she heard the words and ran out. “Who was it? Why are you so angry?!”
Zhang Wei threw the motorcycle key on the coffee table. “Li Su, that bitch!”
“What happened?” Qi Ya asked more solemnly, sitting up straight.
Zhang Wei told them. Qi Ya breathed a sigh of relief. So it turned out to be this. She thought that Li Su wanted to get back together with Zhang Wei! That woman was so insistent before. It took several years for her to finally agree to a divorce. If it wasn’t for her tricks, letting Zhang Wei pretend to be drunk to domestically abuse Li Su, Li Su would still be clinging to him!
“That slut! Where did she get the money?! That’s all my Zhang family’s money! No, I have to go find her!” Mother Zhang’s eyes darkened, and she waved her spoon angrily.
Zhang Wei hurriedly stood up to protect Qi Ya. “Mum, be careful. You almost hit Little Ya. You got some oil on Little Ya’s face.”
Mother Zhang quickly put down the spoon. “I didn’t hit her, right? I’m sorry. I was careless.”
Qi Ya wiped the oil stains on her face with a tissue, and then said slowly, “I thought it was a problem. It’s not a big deal. What’s there to be angry about? She has money? How much can she have? A single month of her salary can’t cover three days of income from my clothing store!”
“Could it be that her parents left it for her?” Zhang Wei thought about it and asked.
“Don’t you know the situation of her family? Besides, when her parents died, weren’t you there at the time? Where did they get the opportunity to secretly give her money?!” Qi Ya said.
Zhang Wei thought about it too.
But Mother Zhang was still a little indignant. “No matter where she got the money, it’s wrong for her to hide it! That money should be divided. Half of it should go to my son! Find a lawyer to file a lawsuit against her to get the money back!”
“Come on, mum. That’s too much effort for a sum of money that my clothing store can easily make!” Qi Ya was too lazy to have anything to do with Li Su again.
“Mum, Little Ya is right. Besides, we may not be able to find her now. I have inquired about them, and no one has seen them. Li Su has not contacted any friends,” Zhang Wei said.
Qi Ya’s face was gloomy. “Could she be pretending to be weak and fragile, but was actually so powerful?” Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that when she got divorced, she suddenly disappeared and also took Zhang Yao away? Could it be that she was already prepared?
“No, she doesn’t have the brain or the means. Maybe she wanted to leave this place! Maybe she’s going back to her hometown. No, I’ll go to her hometown to find out,” Zhang Wei said.
“Forget it. Since she wants to hide from us, you won’t be able to find her. Take your time. She can’t hide forever. She is a woman and has a child, so it won’t be that easy! Sooner or later, she will come back.” Qi Ya thought about it. She didn’t expect things to develop to this point. It was a pity. She also blamed the Zhang family for being confused, which allowed Li Su to take Zhang Yao away so smoothly. Otherwise, if Zhang Yao was in her hands, she could be used.
It was really a pity!
Mother Zhang was still a little indignant, but her son and daughter-in-law said so, so she had no choice but to let it go. She just remembered that Li Su actually hid a sum of money from them, and she was even more displeased.
Over there, Li Su took Zhang Yao to W City and stayed at the hotel first. She had already seen several properties on her cell phone. The ones she was interested in had a good location and good surroundings. She thought about dealing with it quickly and buying the house first. But when she arrived at the sales department, she suddenly found that buying a house was not so easy.
Especially for those who lived out of the city who wanted to buy a house in W city.
Everything else was easy to handle, except for one point. She needed to have proof of paying taxes for over a year in W city, or hold a residence permit in this city for more than three years.
Li Su’s face was expressionless. She couldn’t get it even if she had money!
There was no other way. She could only rent a house first. For Zhang Yao, this further confirmed the impression that her mother had no money.
Li Su turned around and went to the real estate agency. It took three days to find a satisfactory apartment. She signed the contract and moved in.
The housing problem had been solved. The next thing to solve was Zhang Yao’s schooling issue. There was a kindergarten in the community. Li Su took Zhang Yao to take a look and she was satisfied, so she signed Zhang Yao up.
When Zhang Yao saw Li Su paying the money, she pulled on the corner of Li Su’s shirt. “Mum, I’d better go to primary school. There is no tuition for primary school.”
Seeing Zhang Yao’s timid appearance, Li Su laughed dumbly. Did she think the kindergarten tuition was too expensive? “Fool, you’re not old enough to even go to primary school. Stay in kindergarten for another year. You can go to primary school next year.”
Zhang Yao lowered her head and felt a little sad. In the past two days, her mother had spent a lot of money!
Li Su was afraid that Zhang Yao would not be able to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, so she deliberately chose to pick her up at noon for lunch and bring her back in the afternoon. After two days of picking Zhang Yao up, Zhang Yao said that morning at the school gate, “Mum, you don’t have to pick me up at noon. I’m fine in the kindergarten.”
Li Su sighed, this child is too sensible. “Is that so? Can you wait until mum asks the teacher’s opinion before making a decision? Mum will tell you about the decision later, okay?” She crouched down and touched Zhang Yao’s braids. As she had been a mother so many times, the only thing she insisted on was to learn to respect her children.
Zhang Yao nodded. “Mum, I am really fine.”
Li Su stood up and patted her hair. “Let’s go first.”
Li Su sent Zhang Yao to class. She then found Zhang Yao’s teacher and learned about Zhang Yao’s situation in kindergarten.
The teacher smiled after learning what was going on. “Little Zhang Yao is very sensible and well-behaved. She listens to the teacher’s words and takes the initiative to help the teacher. She should have adapted to the environment here.”
After Li Su listened to the teacher’s words, there was no joy in her heart. The influence of the original family on a child was really great. She had seen many children as old as Zhang Yao who were willful, domineering, and rebellious, among other things. But these traits couldn’t be seen in Zhang Yao at all. She was too sensible.
“Thank you, teacher, and please take care of my Zhang Yao in the future. If you need anything, you can call me at any time. Thank you.” Li Su thought about it. Zhang Yao was still young. There was still time. First of all, she needed to provide her with a relatively stable life. As for her character, she could take her time!
After discussing it with the teacher, Li Su said to Zhang Yao again, “The teacher also thinks that you have adapted to life in kindergarten. From today onwards, your mother will drop you off in the morning! But your mother promises that you will be the first to be picked up in the evening!”
Zhang Yao nodded repeatedly. “Thank you mum! Mum, don’t work too hard!”
Li Su was overwhelmed with emotion. She nodded and waved goodbye to Zhang Yao.
