He suppressed his inner turmoil and said nothing.

"Heng, don't hate your father. He's actually always valued you. It's just that both of you have strong personalities and stubborn tempers, and neither of you is willing to give in. Promise Grandma that you won't get angry with him anymore, okay?"

Su Heng nodded without hesitation. At this moment, no matter what his grandmother asked, he would agree. Because in this world, nothing was more important than his grandmother, the only one who loved him deeply.

On the other side, the Su couple, who received a call from the housekeeper, rushed back quickly.

Su Zeqi pushed the door open eagerly, "Mom!"

Chen Mei followed closely behind, "Mom, how do you feel? Mom!"

Old Madam Su slowly raised her eyes and looked at them, with a smile on her lips, but her eyes were gradually becoming blurred.

"Mom!" Su Zeqi rushed forward eagerly, calling out, "Mom, please look at your son again!"

Chen Mei had already burst into tears, "Mom... Chen Hao will be back soon, please wait a little longer..."

Madam Su moved her lips, but she was too weak to speak. She could only look around reluctantly, then slowly leaned back against the pillow, tightly holding Su Heng and Xuanxuan's hands, and gradually loosened them...

"mom--"

Old Madam Su passed away quietly with a gentle smile.

Su Heng's body trembled slightly. Although his heart was broken, he still suppressed his grief and gently laid his grandmother's body flat.

Xuanxuan's eyes widened. Although no one had told him, he vaguely sensed something from the sorrowful expressions of those around him. For a five-year-old, this was his first time facing the weight of death.

After an unknown amount of time, the crying and shouting gradually subsided. Su Zeqi wiped away his tears, suppressed his grief, and began to instruct the housekeeper on the follow-up matters. Chen Mei cried heartbreakingly, clearly having a very deep bond with Madam Su.

Su Heng never said a word. He just sat by the bed, staring at his grandmother silently, with every moment he spent with her echoing in his mind.

Xuanxuan curled up in the corner, his crying making him instinctively want to escape. At this moment, he noticed the object tightly held in his hand, which was given to him by his great-grandmother, and curiosity drove him to find out what it was.

He quietly opened the small cloth bag and poured the contents into his palm. They were small pebbles as white as jade, crystal clear, and sparkling with charming light under the light.

Xuanxuan was pleasantly surprised and liked the gift very much. He thought that if he gave it to Xiaomei, she would also love it.

After making all the arrangements, Su Zeqi turned around tiredly and noticed Xuanxuan in the corner. He frowned and walked over. He saw the pebbles in Xuanxuan's hand at a glance. His eyes instantly became sharp. Without hesitation, he grabbed Xuanxuan's wrist, poured out all the pebbles, and snatched the cloth bag.

Of course Su Zeqi recognized this cloth bag; it was made by his mother herself. He was furious, and coupled with the grief he had just experienced, he raised his hand and slapped Xuanxuan hard without saying a word.

"Tell me! When did you steal it?!" Su Zeqi roared angrily.

Xuanxuan covered his little face with his hands, he was so frightened that he was stunned and couldn't say a word.

"Tell me quickly! Where did you steal it from?!" Su Zeqi almost lost his mind. Regardless of whether the person in front of him was a child or not, he stole his mother's belongings before her death. This was unforgivable.

Xuanxuan still stared at Su Zeqi with his eyes wide open. Su Zeqi roared and raised his hand again...

At this moment, a strong arm suddenly blocked him, forcing him back and almost falling. Fortunately, Chen Mei supported him in time, "Zeqi! Are you okay?"

Su Zeqi shook his head. After seeing who was trying to stop him, he was furious. "You traitor! How dare you hire a liar to cheat your grandmother's things?! Are you still human? How could I give birth to such a cold-blooded and heartless person like you?!"

Su Zeqi was so emotional that his voice was almost tearful at the end. Chen Mei tried to persuade him, occasionally looking over here and noticing Xuanxuan being protected by Su Heng.

Su Heng's eyes were already red, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura. If it weren't for his grandmother, he would have been desperate to confront his father at this moment.

He walked towards Su Zeqi step by step. His aura made Chen Mei feel afraid. "Heng... don't be like this. After all, you are father and son... Besides, your grandmother just passed away. She definitely doesn't want to see you two become enemies..."

Su Zeqi didn't flinch, still pointing at Su Heng's nose and cursing: "Do you think we owe you anything? I tell you, we don't owe you anything, you unfilial son!"

Su Heng turned a deaf ear to him and walked straight towards Su Zeqi, holding out his hand, "Give it to me."

Su Zeqi widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Su Heng seemed to have exhausted his last bit of patience. His face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes revealed a threat. He said word by word: "This is a gift from grandma, this thing is his! No matter who it is, if they dare to snatch it from this child, I will not let them off easily!"

Su Zeqi stood there in a daze, his mouth open but unable to speak, he could only point at Su Heng with trembling fingers.

Su Heng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he reached out again, "I said, give it to me!"

The last word almost turned into a roar. Chen Mei was so scared that she cried out. She quickly snatched the thing from Su Zeqi's hand and threw it into Su Heng's hand in fear, "Take it away! Take it away quickly!"

Su Heng clenched his fists tightly, his fierce gaze sweeping over the two of them before turning and walking towards Xuanxuan. Seeing his swollen, red face, he felt so distressed he almost suffocated. Immediately, hatred for Su Zeqi and self-blame for Xuanxuan surged over him.

He gently stroked Xuanxuan's little face and whispered his name: "Xuanxuan?"

Xuanxuan's stiff gaze slowly turned, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he suddenly burst into tears, then threw himself into his arms, hugged his neck tightly with his little hands, and just cried.

Su Zeqi also came back to his senses at this moment. His chest was heaving violently with anger, and his breathing became rapid. He pointed at him and cursed: "Do you want to piss me off to death? You actually gave such a precious thing to that little bastard! You rebellious son... cough cough..."

He was so angry that he kept coughing. Chen Mei hurried to comfort him, "Zeqi, don't be like this. Just give it to him, no matter what it is. As long as you and your son don't quarrel..."

"What do you know?" Su Zeqi stared at her and said bitterly, "Those are precious diamonds! They are diamonds!"

Chen Mei was stunned. She had never imagined that the thing she had just helped Su Heng snatch would actually be a diamond!

Her brows gradually furrowed, her face filled with confusion and surprise.

In other words, her mother-in-law would rather give these priceless things to an unrelated child than give one to her, the daughter-in-law who had served her for more than ten years! What's more, she gave birth to a child for the Su family, but in the end, she didn't even get the surname Su!

Is this the result of her silent efforts over the years?

Chen Mei's expression began to change, from disappointment to sadness and then to resentment...
