NOVPUBChapter 446 -383: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 23_2
The lively living room erupted into a fierce argument again, and Su Zhiruan had no desire to meddle; she only wanted to watch them quarrel.
Currently, she was still a high school student, not even of age, without her own economic capability, relying solely on Su Qin.
What she needed to do now was to get through this short month, wait until the college entrance exams were over, and then make her move, leaving the Su Family.
What she did was to stir up these conflicts, to keep them constantly embroiled in arguments and disputes; this way, Ning Fu would be too preoccupied to pay her any attention, and she could freely do what she needed to do, like making some money or taking on other work. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
“Miss, I’ve made a bowl of noodles, come and eat!” The servant carried a bowl of noodles to her on a tray, and Su Zhiruan accepted without any pretense. After nodding to Su Qin, she sat down and began eating the noodles with chopsticks.
She ate quickly, and soon the bowl was empty.
“Dad, I’m going back to my room, I have a lot of homework to do today,” Su Zhiruan said to Su Qin with a nod, then she entered her own bedroom.
And then there were only three left in the living room.
After returning to her room, Su Zhiruan continued to take out her exercise books and work on problems.
Although she had already secured a place, there were some things that she needed to review, to increase her knowledge further.
In the original storyline, the events that happened before the original owner’s high school exams were about all there was.
The biggest event was that Ning Fu found out about the original owner’s secured college admission, rushed to the school, tore up the contract, and gave her spot to another student. The original owner became discouraged and lost interest in her studies.
At that time, Ning Fu was unaware of Su Qin’s affair, so her sole focus was on making Su Zhiruan’s life difficult. Although she claimed she wanted Su Zhiruan to earn her college entrance by her own merit, the truth was she was envious of Su Zhiruan’s shortcut and an easier life than that of her son.
But now, Su Zhiruan had thoroughly resolved this issue. She had exposed the matter of the mistress, causing Zhu Manqing and Ning Fu to fight, putting Su Qin in a difficult position, caught in the middle.
Ning Fu and Su Qin naturally didn’t want a divorce, but not wanting to divorce meant Su Qin had to choose one between her and Zhu Manqing.
Being a romantic, Su Qin could hardly make a choice, and thus, he was always caught in the middle of the two women, stressed and busy every day.
In this situation, as a caring daughter-figure, Su Zhiruan appeared at his side without demanding anything from him but kindly helped him with his troubles. With just a bit of sentiment on her part, Su Qin felt incredibly moved and realized how important a daughter was. In his joy, he started doling out money generously to Su Zhiruan.
Su Zhiruan readily accepted. With this money, she now had her college tuition and living expenses covered, as well as seed money to start her career.
The Su Family weren’t short of cash, and Su Zhiruan knew how to speak, act, and read the room. In this way, the three women around Su Qin each had their own cunning plans, and Su Zhiruan ended up profiting nearly a million yuan.
As for Su Tianci, her younger brother, he was always sly beyond his years. He had been egging Su Zhiruan on to help Ning Fu, but Su Zhiruan ignored it completely. He gritted his teeth and finally gave up trying to help his mother, returning to his piano practice every day.

Ever since Madam Xie accompanied Su Zhiruan to visit the school, those who used to look down on the former owner had done a complete 180-degree turnaround in their attitudes.
Even when Su Zhiruan went to school, she found her desk flooded with apology letters and various exquisite gifts, mostly necklaces and jewelry, all very expensive.
Even the vice principal, who used to be haughty and condescending, became obsequious, even going out of his way to greet Su Zhiruan with great deference if they crossed paths.
In the month leading up to the college entrance exams, Su Zhiruan lived a fulfilling life.
As for the gifts, after verifying the givers, Su Zhiruan happily accepted them. These young ladies and gentlemen didn’t lack for such trinkets. Having Su Zhiruan accept them also brought them peace of mind, for if she refused, they would worry whether they might be targeted for revenge in the future. Even if Su Zhiruan returned some of the more valuable gifts, they would only send more expensive ones; she had no choice but to accept everything. She sold off the items that were easy to dispose of, and kept the ones that could make a statement for future use.
