Su Huatian's wedding went smoothly. After all the guests stopped teasing them, Su Yuan finally returned to Su Caiwei's side, where countless eyes, filled with surprise and curiosity, were looking at her.
These were the closer relatives of the Su family. Seeing Su Yuan dressed beautifully, they suddenly had many more topics to discuss. The child of the Caiwei family was indeed growing more and more beautiful.
They heard that she had a condition called "female pseudohermaphroditism." Although they were old or uneducated and didn't know what this meant, they were sure she was a girl!
Faced with their caring and probing questions, Su Yuan felt more pressure than the actual wedding participants. Fortunately, Su Caiwei was there to shield her from countless attacks. Su Yuan sat silently at the table, eating with her chopsticks and occasionally responding with a few "hmm" and "ah" sounds...
Sometimes Su Yuan felt that having many relatives was a good thing, but during every New Year and festival, the relentless pursuit of questions like "Do you have a boyfriend yet?" "How much do you earn?" "How are your grades?" was the most annoying.
That night, after finally dealing with this group of relatives, Su Yuan was slightly tipsy. With Su Caiwei's support, she returned to her grandparents' house. That night, she slept with her mother, Su Caiwei, again...
Woken up by the sound of firecrackers early in the morning, Su Yuan looked at her still sleeping mother, put on the clothes beside her, and went downstairs. After finishing breakfast and watching TV in the living room for a while, she still didn't see her mother come down. She frowned and quickly ran upstairs.
"Ah, it's so hot!"
She touched Su Caiwei's forehead and found it scarily hot!
Pushing Su Caiwei, Su Yuan asked worriedly, "Mom, do you want to go to the hospital?"
Su Caiwei moved her body and opened her eyes, speaking in a low voice, "No need, it's an old problem..." She sat up, and Su Yuan quickly ran downstairs to get a wet towel to place on her forehead.
"Mom, does your head hurt?" Su Yuan asked with concern, sitting by the bed.
Su Caiwei smiled and nodded, "A little, but it's not serious."
A few minutes later, Su Yuan touched her forehead again and found the temperature had dropped significantly. She sighed in relief, "Mom, you really scared me. Every time you have a headache, it's like a high fever!"
Su Caiwei smiled and rubbed Su Yuan's head, "I can't help it, I don't want to either!" The headache came once a month, and hospital checks showed no problems. In the end, it was linked to her amnesia.
Logically, having a high fever once a month is a very serious issue, but Su Caiwei had been through this for over a decade without any aftereffects, which even the doctors found incredible.
When it became a habit, neither Su Caiwei nor Su Yuan felt as tense or worried about her condition as they did at first.
Seeing Su Yuan's face still filled with worry, Su Caiwei smiled and said, "Although the headache hasn't been cured, I feel it's not as severe as before."
"Really?"
Su Caiwei nodded, thinking of the intense pain she used to feel. Now, just a slight pain made her feel a bit happier.
"Ah!" Su Caiwei suddenly exclaimed.
Su Yuan was startled, "What's wrong?"
"What time is it?"
"Eight thirty, what's wrong?"
Su Caiwei said seriously, "I have a client appointment at ten o'clock this morning. It's a new raw material supplier for our stationery factory. If this cooperation goes through, this supplier will provide at least thirty percent of our plastic materials."
"Huh?"
"So this cooperation must not fail!" Su Caiwei said sternly.
"Mom, didn't I tell you about the Shengtian Group? They will also cooperate with us."
Su Caiwei shook her head, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Instead of waiting for others to help, it's better to expand our potential! This morning's supplier is a big merchant. The preliminary negotiations are almost complete, and today we just need to finalize and sign the contract..."
"But your health is more important!"
Su Yuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go instead?"
"You go?"
Su Caiwei looked at Su Yuan doubtfully. It wasn't that she doubted Su Yuan, but Su Yuan hadn't had systematic training and didn't have the professional demeanor. She just looked like an unreliable student!
Moreover, it wouldn't be proper.
"Right, I'll go!"
Su Yuan opened her big eyes and said, "I can meet the partner on your behalf. Since the negotiations are almost done, I can sign the contract for you!"
Seeing Su Caiwei still doubtful, Su Yuan enthusiastically pulled out a piece of paper from the drawer, wrote "Su Caiwei" in cursive, and showed it off, "How's that? The handwriting is pretty good, right?"
Su Caiwei took it hesitantly and nodded, "It does look similar, but the 'wei' character needs to be adjusted, and the 'cai' character's捺(nà) stroke should be longer..."
"Alright, I'll pass勉强(mǎnqiáng). You can sign on my behalf, but you can't get involved in the negotiations. I'll let Aunt Qin make the decisions."
"Of course!" Su Yuan nodded with a smile, feeling very happy to be able to help her mother. Aunt Qin was Su Caiwei's assistant at work and actually managed the Su family's stationery factory.
To this day, Su Yuan still didn't understand why her mother, who had a small but significant business, stayed as a math teacher at the junior high school. Su Yuan didn't believe that Su Caiwei lacked the ability to manage a factory.
Su Caiwei was both beautiful and intelligent, and by all accounts, she was a well-bred lady. In terms of capability, even Aunt Qin, who actually managed the stationery factory, might not match Su Caiwei.
For Su Caiwei to entrust such an important task to her, Su Yuan saw it as a sign of trust or a way to train her. The only regret was that she couldn't participate in the entire negotiation, which was a pity.
"Xiao Yuan, this contract signing is very important. Don't mess it up!"
Su Yuan immediately stood straight and saluted, "Mom, please rest assured. Xiao Yuan will do her best and complete the task. If I fail, I'll come back with my tail between my legs!"
Su Caiwei giggled, got out of bed, and while dressing, said to Su Yuan, "I'll have your uncle send you back. Remember to go home and change into something more appropriate. Your current outfit doesn't look like you're going to sign a contract."
Su Yuan was wearing casual clothes, which were comfortable and looked good, but they lacked the sharp and decisive look needed for a professional setting, making her look out of place.
Su Yuan said "Oh" and went downstairs with Su Caiwei. When her uncle learned that Su Yuan had something to do and needed to go back, he immediately offered to drive her.
Thus, an hour later, Su Yuan was back at her home in the city.
