Chapter 11: Pretend Mother and Son (2)
As Su Ran was thinking about all those things, she didn’t hide her thoughts. Su Han, who was being stared at by Su Ran, suddenly felt goosebumps. This woman had always looked at him with disgust and coldness. He couldn’t figure out why Su Ran was looking at him the way that she was right now.
He couldn’t understand her gaze right now. Oddly, that made him feel uncomfortable.
He decided to put an end to this unpleasant sensation under her stare, so he tightened his lips a little and turned to leave expressionlessly without saying a word.
“Aren’t you going home with me?” Su Ran instinctively asked when she saw that Su Han was walking away.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Ran felt embarrassed immediately.
How had she forgotten that Su Han had moved out of “Su Ran”s apartment when he started junior high school.
It seemed he hasn’t even asked the original owner for tuition or living expenses for the last few months.
Sure enough, after he heard what Su Ran said, Su Han paused for a little. A scornful look crossed his face while he still had his back to her before he resumed walking away from her.
“You should focus on your school work right now. These types of banquets might sound fun, but they are not proper nor safe.” Regardless of whether Su Han was listening to her, Su Ran felt that she was obligated to give him a heads up.
“I don’t need advice from you,” said Su Han coldly before he walked away without looking back.
Watching Su Han walk away, Su Ran sighed again.
It was quite obvious by now that expecting her son to listen to her and be civil with her was not going to be possible. She did, however, forcefully changed the plot in the story today. That had at least gotten rid of one of the critical turning points that contributed to him becoming a villain later on. As for what was going to happen in the future, she had no idea. And even if she did, as a cannon fodder that had already been phased out of the story, there was only so much she could do.
Putting Su Han aside for a moment, even Su Ran’s immediate future wasn’t exactly looking very promising.
She might have survived the night, but all the messes that were left behind to her by the original owner were still laying out in front of her.
Su Ran didn’t forget the multiple messages asking her to repay her loans while she was on her way over to the banquet.
There were messages from the bank, the landlord asking for rent, late payment requests for water and power companies, and a few additional loans from loan sharks who were asking for their money back now.
Meh, at least she was still alive. Borrowing the line from the second male lead in the novel: any problems that could be resolved with money was not a problem.
In the novel, the second male lead pretended to be a coquettish and a lowly clown. When Su Ran was reading the book, she was a bit of a fan for this second male lead.
Thinking about this, Su Ran started feeling better again.
The second male lead had a secretive uncle who left him a gold mine. As long as nothing crazy happened, the second male lead wouldn’t even know about its existence. When push comes to shove, she’d just have to go and steal a few pieces of gold from there.
Su Ran immediately recovered from her earlier distressed mode and walked forward at a brisk pace.
On her way out, Su Ran caught a glimpse of the cruel mansion district again, and she couldn’t help but shudder.
This was the main stage where the original owner performed with her life. Today was an exception. From this point forward, Su Ran was absolutely certain that she would never enter this battlefield again!
Su Ran reassured herself with utmost certainty. What she didn’t know was that sometimes faceslapping came about awfully fast.
