Stealing Your Heart

Chapter 815

Since Su Zhan had not been home, Grandma Su sent someone to tail him, and only then did she manage to find his whereabouts. She decided to pay him a visit upon finding out that Qin Ya’s second attempt at IVF failed.

Lin Xinyan stood motionless at the door. She knew why Grandma Su was there.

When Su Zhan came out from the neighborhood, she saw Lin Xinyan at the entrance. “Xinyan!” He called out.

Lin Xinyan, Grandma Su, and Chen Xue all turned around.

“Su Zhan!” Grandma Su called out with a tone of disgruntlement. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing that, Su Zhan finally realized that Lin Xinyan was not the only one waiting at the roadside, and his expression immediately stiffened. For a moment, he thought Grandma Su found out where he lived by tailing Lin Xinyan.

“I only met them at the door,” Lin Xinyan clarified.

“My place is in the third building, unit 603. You can go in first. I have some things I need to take care of,” Su Zhan said.

Lin Xinyan nodded in understanding. “Good luck.”

Su Zhan walked out. “Grandma…”

Grandma Su interrupted him before he could even finish his sentence. “Why won’t you let me in?” She demanded. “If you don’t, I’ll call the police to report you for not taking care of me!”

Su Zhan clenched his fists and almost yelled at her. Tamping down his anger, he growled, “Just what do you want?”

“You’ve abandoned me and don’t even let me in your house when I come to visit. I should ask you the same!” Seeing that there was a security guard present as well as the occasional passers-by, she started bawling. “I took great pains to raise you, and this is how you repay me? How could you abandon me in the house when you know I can’t walk well?”

It is human nature to be drawn to drama. As such, the security guard stuck his head out to get a good look at the commotion, and the passers-by stopped in their tracks as well.

Lin Xinyan turned around. “Just let her in.”

Su Zhan remained stationary.

Seeing that he had no intention of budging, Lin Xinyan persuaded, “You know full well that you’ll have to take care of this someday. You can’t keep hiding forever.”

Su Zhan knew what he was currently doing was not a long-term solution. Even so, there was no surefire way to solve this either, as every solution he could come up with would end up with someone close to him getting hurt.

“Fine, you can come in. Direct all your anger at me, because leaving home was my own decision. Don’t get anyone else involved,” He warned Grandma Su.

Grandma Su stared at Su Zhan for a long while before replying, “Fine.”

Su Zhan turned his head, and without even looking at Grandma Su, he said, “Let’s go in.”

“Are you here to see Ya?” Grandma Su asked Lin Xinyan.

Lin Xinyan nodded. “I knew she wasn’t doing well, so I’m here to visit.”

“Good. Help me persuade her later. Tell her that Su Zhan is the family’s only child, and he can’t be the one to end the family line,” Grandma Su said.

Lin Xinyan simply pursed her lips in response. The elevator ride was silent. When they got off, Su Zhan walked in front of them and opened the door.

Since Qin Ya knew that Lin Xinyan was visiting, she had got up from the bed and was seated on the sofa. When she heard the door open, she looked towards it and saw Lin Xinyan. She was just about to greet her when she saw the people behind her.

Qin Ya jumped up from the sofa, her expression turning deathly white almost instantly.

Lin Xinyan walked towards her and caught her by her arms. “Please sit down, your body’s weak.” Almost losing her balance, Qin Ya held onto Lin Xinyan’s arms.

Lin Xinyan smiled and patted her back. “Su Zhan and I are both here. We won’t let anything bad happen. Why don’t you take this chance to clarify things?”

Qin Ya looked into her friend’s eyes and nodded.

The silence in the room was broken by Grandma Su. “Are you doing well? I heard you were lucky enough to have another son,” she asked Lin Xinyan.

Her words contained an obvious hidden meaning. It was as if she was telling Qin Ya, “Look at how well she’s doing. Shouldn’t you be ashamed of yourself?”

Lin Xinyan smiled politely. “I can’t say I’m that lucky. Back when I raised my kids by myself, people saw me as a woman without a husband and they all criticized me for getting pregnant while still unwed.”

“That’s all in the past now,” Grandma Su said.

“Yes, it is. But I will never forget it,” Lin Xinyan replied.

“Ya,” Grandma Su turned her attention to Qin Ya. Qin Ya immediately stiffened and called out, “Yes, Grandma?”

“How could you not tell me you went to the hospital?” Grandma Su’s concern was laced with blame. “You’ve gotten even skinnier.”

Qin Ya turned her gaze to the ground.

Su Zhan took out a jacket and draped it over Qin Ya’s shoulders. “Ya has been through so much because of me. Her body’s weak, so I’m giving the matter of having children a rest.”

“Is that your own decision, or was it forced upon you because her eggs are useless?” Grandma Su was at Su Zhan’s house precisely because she could not accept the situation, so when she heard that Su Zhan had given up, she could not hold back her anger any longer. “Do you think you’re the only one who gets a say in this?”

“So what do you suggest they do?” Lin Xinyan held Qin Ya’s hand, hoping to give her some comfort in the nerve-wracking situation unfolding before them.

After a while, Grandma Su said, “If her eggs and womb are useless, then find someone who’s willing to donate theirs. If you can’t, surrogacy is a plan you can consider. There are many women nowadays who are willing to sell their uterus for money.”
