NOVPUBChapter 445 -383: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 23
After the matter of the direct admission was settled, Su Zhiruan’s heart also became much more tranquil.
Even though she was confident that she could achieve good results in the college entrance exam with her ability and attend the best university, there are always accidents when handling things. If something unexpected happened or if Ning Fu tried to interfere, causing some mistake on the day of the exam, then she would truly have no school to attend.
In the original plot, that’s exactly what happened. The original owner had worked hard to participate in Jinghua University’s written exam and interview, and had passed all her competitions with high scores, but in the end, it was all ruined by Ning Fu alone. This resulted in her being dispirited and listless during the college entrance exam, and she did not end up attending Jinghua University, but chose another ordinary university instead.
Now that she had secured a place through direct admission, Su Zhiruan felt much more secure. With this guarantee, she could now go all out in her endeavors without worrying about encountering any problems on the unknown day of the exam.
Su Zhiruan and Madam Xie exchanged contact information and then went their separate ways.

When Su Zhiruan returned home, the living room still had an awkward atmosphere.
But she didn’t mind. Seeing that Su Qin was also sitting in the living room, sandwiched between Ning Fu and Zhu Manqing, she changed her shoes, put her backpack away in her bedroom, and greeted them.
“Dad, Mom, and Aunt Zhu, you’re all here.” 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
At this time, the three of them were still sitting in the living room.
It wasn’t as tense as before Su Zhiruan left. They must have had something to discuss, which is why they were sitting together again.
But looking at their gazes, it was as if they could devour each other.
Especially the looks between Ning Fu and Zhu Manqing, which were as hostile as fire and water.
“Ruanruan is back, you must be hungry. Let your aunts make some food for you first!”
Su Qin, seeing his eldest daughter so well-behaved, forced a smile as if he had found an excuse to quickly stand up from between Ning Fu and Zhu Manqing and escape to the kitchen to instruct the servants to make some tasty food for Su Zhiruan, “You all prepare something nutritious for the young miss, she’s about to take her college entrance exam. Make sure she eats well and healthy, get some more supplements.”
“Yeah, Ruanruan, look how thin you are. It’s a shame, really; if I were your mother, I would definitely make you plump and fair and turn my daughter into the happiest girl in the world! Sigh~ unlike some people— having such a wonderful daughter and not taking care of her, I wonder what the point of their life is!”
Zhu Manqing was sharp-tongued and did not hold back, especially when it came to Ning Fu.
Ning Fu had always been unkind to Su Zhiruan, and not only was this well-known among the socialites, but anyone who cared to inquire would know this as well, although Ning Fu claimed it was ‘tough love’.
Now that Zhu Manqing was bringing it up in an open and legitimate setting, Ning Fu was struggling to save face.
“What do you mean by that?! She’s my daughter, I can do whatever I want with her. If I want her to die, she has to go jump off a building right now! Who do you think you are?!” Ning Fu chuckled coldly, slamming her teacup down onto the coffee table.
“What kind of way is that to talk?!”
Su Qin was immediately displeased upon hearing Ning Fu’s words.
It was as if she regarded Su Zhiruan as something to be butchered at will, as if Su Zhiruan had been merely a piece of meat without any free will after being born, something she could deal with any way she pleased. Su Qin was very dissatisfied, “She’s not a toy to be controlled by anyone. Ruanruan had her free will from the moment she was born. You want her to die just because you say so?! You’ll be the one going to prison then!”
Su Qin’s affection for his eldest daughter was evident.
He hadn’t spent much time at home in the past, and he had trusted Ning Fu, his childhood sweetheart, thus feeling reassured about his children being educated by her. But he had never imagined that Su Zhiruan was raised under such education—thin and malnourished, tortured until she was sick all over, treated not as a human being by Ning Fu but as a piece of meat to be toyed with.
“Someone like you is unworthy of having children!!” Zhu Manqing certainly didn’t hold back. She took quite a liking to Su Zhiruan, and knowing her situation, she felt an immense disgust for Ning Fu, “Right! You gave birth to her, yet you won’t even let her eat properly, just abuse and torment her! Are you even fit to be a mother?!”
“How odd, I didn’t expect a mistress would dare to speak up so openly these days!” Ning Fu sneered while idly playing with her long nails.
