Duan Rulan followed Siyu into the house. As soon as she walked through the front door, she could smell the strong astringent scent of medicine. She instantly frowned and the disgust in her eyes could barely be concealed.

It’s the smell of Chinese herbal medicine again. The smell was so awful that she was fed up with it twenty years ago! She didn’t expect that this short-lived money-sucking thing was actually still living well and even came to Jiang City….. Duan Rulan looked at Siyu’s thin back and thought scornfully: if she hadn’t heard that recently her son had been close with this money-sucking thing, and rush over to find this girl in fear that Ji Lin might do something wrong and that her current husband would hear something, she wouldn’t want to see this daughter ever again in her life.

This sickly looking daughter…. was a stain in her, Duan Rulan, life!

Duan Rulan’s makeup was exquisite. Perhaps it was because she had lived in comfort all year round and took proper care of her skin, she looked like she’s only in her thirties. She still had the graceful demeanor of her youthful times, one could vaguely discern from her features that she and Siyu bore some resemblance.

It’s a pity that Duan Rulan’s expression was too vicious when she looked at Siyu, causing her face to be twisted for a moment.

But when Siyu invited her to take a seat and chat, Duan Rulan immediately restrained her expression, sat upright on the sofa, and took up a madam’s attitude again.

“Xiao Yu, how are you doing after all these years?” Just listening to her voice, Duan Rulan sounded like a sincere loving mother. She looked at Siyu and said affectionately, “I know, in your heart, you must be blaming mom. But at that time mom had no choice either. You were still a child at the time, you wouldn’t understand the circumstances. With your dad’s death, we didn’t have a pillar to support the family. There were only two elders in their seventies, a widow, and her child. How could we go on? It was also for your good, that I found another way out. You see, now when mom’s life is better, didn’t I  come back to find you?” {T/N: Bullshit!!]

Duan Rulan said it ‘sincerely’ but when Siyu heard it, she only found it a joke.



For her good? Cut the crap! In the manhua of 《Superstar Pampered Marriage》, the supporting female character Zhou Siyu’s viciousness and craziness were partly caused by her family background. Her mother, Duan Rulan, was a girl from the countryside. She used to work in a factory. However, Duan Rulan was born with a good appearance, she was an outstanding beauty. For this reason, she was recommended to marry Zhou Siyu’s father and became a full-time housewife.

The supporting female character’s family wasn’t well-off, but at least their basic necessities were covered. However, after Zhou Siyu was born, the family soon discovered that she was naturally frail and sickly.  Zhou Siyu basically grew up bathing in medicine. The money spent on medicine was like flowing water. The originally not-so-rich-family was quickly strapped for cash. In the end, Duan Rulan had no choice but to work as a waitress in a hotel to lighten the burden on the family.

At first, it wasn’t that Duan Rulan did not take kindly to this daughter of hers. However, her sense of conceit was very strong. Whether it was leaving the countryside or marrying into a good family using her beautiful looks, it was all to make her life better. In the beginning, she still had tender affection for Zhou Siyu. Yet when she discovered that the family’s savings vanished because it had been used to buy her daughter’s medicine– thus not only was it no longer enough to fulfill her usual large-scale expense, she had to work hard every day to subsidize the family–, this woman who has to maintain her bright and beautiful appearance turned resentful.



She blamed this medical container of a daughter. She resented her husband for putting this daughter first and ignoring her. She hated that the family she married into was not rich enough. She felt that the end of her life could be seen at one glance. What good there was to have this kind of child at home?

In the first place, she married for the sake of improving her life. Now you want her to stay like this for the rest of her life? Not a chance!

At that time, Ji Lin’s father, Ji Wenhan, came to have a business meeting and stayed in the hotel where Duan Rulan worked. Duan Rulan’s beauty was outstanding. In the course of time, those two people hooked up together and Duan Rulan got pregnant. When Zhou Siyu’s father passed away in an accident, Duan Rulan resolutely abandoned this family and followed Jiang Wenhan to Jiang City. After giving birth to a son, she successfully rose up to the position of Madam Ji.

Duan Rulan became a rich madam as she wished for.  Because of this, Zhou Siyu’s grandfather fell gravely ill in anger and finally departed from this world, leaving behind Zhou Siyu and her grandmother. They could only depend on each other for survival. The words from Duan Rulan’s mouth sounded beautiful, she left for the sake of her daughter. However, almost twenty years have passed since then, has Duan Rulan ever remembered that she still had a daughter?

Never! She was really enjoying her life as madam from a rich and powerful family, and wanted more than anything to bury her previous marriage into the soil.

T/N: Hello readers (´ε` )♡ ~ Sorry for the late posts. It had been a hectic week for me as I’m in my midsemester hell period. The deadlines for my school projects are everywhere (╥╯﹏╰╥)ง and if I cross the line I’ll be dead (﹏). Therefore the updates for this novel will be irregular until I finished up this piling assignment.

P.S. Starting March everything should have been unter control (hopefully)
And I’m an art student, that’s why instead of written exams, my mid-semester are filled with projects

Thus, Siyu treated those words from Duan Rulan as bullshit. She laughed and said: “ What are you talking about? I haven’t had a mom since I was little. So where did this extra mother come from?”

When she was the author, Siyu didn’t feel anything. However, when she truly came face to face with Duan Rulan, she felt disgusted——how could such a person be a mother?

Duan Rulan had a strong mentality. She didn’t mind Siyu’s sarcasm.  She looked at Siyu as if she was a naughty kid who refused to listen to the elder and continued to advise: “Xiao Yu, I know you have many grievances. That’s why mom came here to compensate you….”



“Stop right there. I don’t plan to carelessly pick up a mother, nor do  I need any compensation,” Siyu interrupted her. “Look, Madam, from the beginning to the end, I don’t understand a single thing that you said. I’m afraid you got the wrong person. Goodbye, I won’t see you out.”

Facing this kind of person, Siyu didn’t bother being polite. However, one thing that made her feel regretful was the fact that Duan Rulan’s fate was still good. Yes, after all, in the manhua Duan Rulan was Ji Lin’s biological mother. When the supporting female character began crazily trying to get revenge, Duan Rulan even stood on the “righteous” side and went against her own daughter. Then she enjoyed the wealthy lifestyle for a lifetime.

Siyu thought self-mockingly. She had set up the life history of the supporting female character to be so miserable and as a result, she was met with her own retribution—— she transmigrated into Zhou Siyu and received everything that the supporting female character had.

However, what made her and Zhou Siyu different was the fact that she didn’t really care about Duan Rulan’s attitude, nor did she harbor any thoughts of taking revenge on the Ji family. She only wanted to live a steady, simple life. Therefore, no matter what Duan Rulan said, Siyu didn’t pay any attention to it.

“It’s almost time for me to drink medicine. Madam, my body is not very good and I might faint if I get overstimulated. You wouldn’t want to bear the medical expense, would you?” Siyu’s gaze turned cold and she pointed to the entrance, “I’m feeling a little dizzy, so I won’t send you out.”



“You—— how could you speak of mom like this!” Duan Rulan didn’t expect to encounter such a hard wall. The very long excuse she had prepared was all directly blocked by Siyu and she felt suffocated.

With their words spoken to this extent, Duan Rulan’s affectionate facade couldn’t be carried on any longer. She had already reached her limit to be able to speak so well to her loathsome daughter for so long. So, Duan Rulan forced out a smile and said, “You should calm down a bit. Mom will come and see you next time”, then she hurriedly left. However, the departing figure revealed a sense of exasperation and fury.

After Siyu saw Duan Rulan leave, her expression slowly returned to normal.

This mother of hers suddenly appeared. She must have heard that Ji Lin intentionally approached her and thus panicked, didn’t she?

After all, “dumping husband and abandoning child, eloping and marrying another” wasn’t a good reputation. If this were brought out, Duan Rulan would be criticized by the whole upper-class society. How could she tolerate such a situation when she paid so much attention to her reputation?

 

Therefore, Duan Rulan came here this time to  1) block her daughter’s mouth using the family card, and 2)….. Siyu sneered, probably to force her to leave Jiang City and go back to her hometown. Only when she’s out of Jiang City could Duan Rulan rest assured.

If she wasn’t wrong, then Duan Rulan came prepared today. And perhaps she also prepared money to send her away. Unfortunately, she was cut straight off and was unable to finish her speech.

Siyu didn’t take this matter to heart. In any case, she never planned to walk on the same path as the supporting female character and never intended to retaliate against Duan Rulan and Ji family. If Duan Rulan bumped into several walls, then she will naturally back off.

Originally, this was how Siyu had thought, but she underestimated Duan Rulan’s hate of her. As the madam of the Ji family, if bribing and manipulation failed, Duan Rulan could immediately find another means.

Within a week, Siyu suddenly received a notice from the modeling company. It said that she breached the contract and demanded her to pay twenty million penalty fee and to leave immediately!

Riel: Freak! What kind of heartless mother is this?! 

Daed: Mn. At least she gave us Siyu and Ji Lin. Everything will be better soon~
