Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Not all love turns into eternal devotion
The two brothers stayed for a while longer, finished their meal, and then left.
Su Wan hadn’t left yet.
Seeing her mother’s furrowed brow, she couldn’t help saying, "Mom, don’t let this affect your mood; Su Zhen isn’t worth your concern anymore."
Lin Ranyue was taken aback.
Then she said, "No, it’s not that Su Zhen is affecting my mood. If he could find a place to work steadfastly, he could also live a peaceful life in his next life. If something unfortunate happened to him, either he did something bad, or it’s the consequence of a past misdeed, and now someone is seeking revenge against him."
She had already lost all sentimental feelings for her ex-husband, eroded by his absurd and shameless conduct.
Su Wan: "But I see that you’re still not too happy."
Lin Ranyue sighed, "There’s an issue between Su Ni and Cecilia. Cecilia is a good girl, but Su Ni is a bit slow. Normally, Cecilia takes the lead between them, but if Su Ni truly did something wrong that utterly disappointed her..."
Then their relationship would definitely be over.
Su Wan realized, "So, was that why you deliberately asked her like that earlier?"
Lin Ranyue nodded, "Su Ni really likes children; whenever he comes over, he always brings lots of gifts for Xiaoluo. Just like when he was little, Su Ni always liked his brothers and sisters, he was uniting and loving."
Su Wan didn’t speak anymore.
There is no other problem with Su Ni; he is just too naive.
Cecilia doesn’t want children, but Su Ni especially likes them.
In certain situations, there’s an unresolvable conflict between them.
Just as childless, but look at Gu Qingyu and Ouyang Qing; those two doctors, both cool and sensible, are affectionate every day.
Despite being doctors known for their calm and rationality.
But that doesn’t prevent them from having a fiercely passionate love for each other.
Su Wan: "Everyone needs to grow from their own choices. If Su Ni can truly get through these thorns, then his relationship with Cecilia can advance further."
Not all love becomes eternal and undying.
After all, there are many people who loved each other deeply at first, but their love could not end well.
Lin Ranyue nodded, "I will still remind him, but, after all, it’s his own life. What choice he makes is up to him."
Su Wan patted her mother’s hand, "Actually, Su Ni is quite fortunate. Passionate about acting, he has chosen this path. He has a mother deeply in love with him, and a wife who loves him. If he’s still not content and stirs up trouble, then he deserves to suffer a bit."
In Su Wan’s eyes, Su Ni can never be thoroughly absolved.
But she also understands her mother’s inability to let go of Su Ni.
The bonds of emotion are the most complex.

Seven days later, Su Zhen still hadn’t been found.
The old Master Su finally came to know about this matter, sitting silently in his study.
This made Meira very worried.
She was so concerned that she contacted Su Wan, "Xiaowan, your grandfather usually listens most to what you say, could you come and persuade him?"
Su Wan: "I’ll make a call to him."
Back then, the old Master Su had driven Su Zhen, his unfilial son, out of the family home.
He also stripped him of his heir status.
But in reality, that was his biological son, his only son.
The old master still had concerns for him in his heart.
When Su Wan called, the old Master Su still picked up.
Su Wan used a holographic projection, looking at her grandfather in the camera, who appeared somewhat haggard.
She said, "Grandpa, if he has been kidnapped by the bad guys, then the bad guys will definitely be brought to justice, and he will be found."
The old Master Su sighed, "I was so cold previously only to make him realize how outrageous his mistakes were. If he’s willing to settle down, improve himself, and live a good life, then... actually, I’ve kept a portion of my shares for him."
Which is to say, no matter what, Su Zhen’s life in his later years would be worry-free.
The old Master Su wanted to give it to him after Su Zhen and Du Weiwei divorced.
Then Su Zhen committed another foolish act.
Later on, he even colluded with Du Weiwei and almost killed Lin Ranyue’s child.
But there was more. Su Zhen had jumped ship to work at a rival restaurant, always at odds with the Su Family....
Several times, the Su family patriarch’s heart softened, and he planned to give the shares to his son.
Yet, every time Su Zhen would do something to infuriate him to the point of spitting blood.
And now, he was missing.
No sign of him alive, nor a body in death.
Su Wan: "Grandpa, you’ve already done enough. Whether for Mom, for me, for the Su Family, or even for Su Zhen, you’ve done very well."
"Perhaps, life is destined to have some imperfections," the old man sighed deeply.
Su Wan shook her head, "Grandpa, all we can do is try to make our own lives perfect. The lives of others are sometimes beyond our control."
Su Wan thought of Queen Gaia, who had tried so hard and given her all.
And what was the result? Now the Mermaid Planet was in the midst of a split.
Jin Weisi was propped up as a figurehead, publicly opposing Lan Ruochen and the Lan Family.
The ridiculous thing was, there were actually some people among the nobles and the populace who really supported Jin Weisi.
Lan Ruochen was drained and wan.
Everyone had their own agenda.
So, they could only be responsible for their own lives. The lives of others... that was their own business.
If Su Zhen hadn’t acted the way he did, this outcome wouldn’t have come to pass.
**
Gu Jue was also aware of Su Zhen’s disappearance. Even though his young wife hadn’t made any requests, he still sent people to look for him.
But Su Zhen seemed to have vanished into thin air.
In the end, everyone concluded.
Su Zhen must no longer be on the Federation Empire Planet.
But no one expected that Su Zhen hadn’t really left the Federal Empire.
He was in a basement somewhere in District 10.
Because District 11 wasn’t completely finished yet, some of the people from Mermaid Planet had settled in District 10.
As a result, the population in District 10 became even more complex.
Su Zhen was tied up tightly, looking at Du Weiwei in front of him with a pleading gaze.
"Weiwei, please let me go!"
Du Weiwei had lost a lot of weight, she had cosmetic surgery before, but then she suffered a shock.
Her facial features now looked somewhat ferocious.
Where was her previous gentle appearance!
Not to mention, Su Zhen had long stopped loving her!
"Su Zhen, didn’t you once love me? So why can’t you agree to do me a small favor when I ask for it?"
Standing beside her was a man whose arms were like mantis pincers, concealed within his sleeves.
He said impatiently, "How much longer will this take? We can’t stay here for too long!"
If those Interstellar Warriors outside discovered them,
They’d be done for!
Su Zhen was truly frightened by the torment he’d endured, and over this period, he had thought about a lot of things.
He regretted so deeply!
He should never have divorced Lin Ranyue for Du Weiwei in the first place!
And he regretted, why had he doted on a daughter who was not his blood, ignoring Xiaowan in the process?
There were also his two sons.
As well as his aging father.
Su Zhen began to cry.
What a good life he once had!
