No-1 Supreme Warrior

On the weathered windowsill lay a layer of fallen plaster and thick dust, with a worn-out soda bottle in the corner, floating a fine layer of green moss. Next to the windowsill was a bed made from a few planks of wood, which had begun to crack under the ravages of time. The once-pink sheets had been washed to a pale hue. At that moment, a frail young girl lay there, her face pale, her lips devoid of any color, her eyes, which were once bright, now staring blankly at a single point. She had not moved for a long time.

She could never have imagined that her mother would pass away so suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving her unprepared. Her heart was filled with confusion and a vague sense of resentment that lingered, not strong but persistent. She blamed herself and the Xu Family. She couldnt understand why her mother, such a kind person, had to have her life cruelly taken away by fate, leaving her all alone.

Her mind kept replaying the scene of her mother holding her and crying in her final moments, "Qingqing, will you blame mom? If mom wasnt so stubborn, if mom had taken your dads money, would things be different now? I, I cant leave you alone."

Sue Su, the Su Familys eldest daughter who had once shaken Fairtown, could not withstand the test of time. Her temples had turned somewhat gray, and her once delicate hands had grown calloused. Her arms trembled violently as she held Qing Su. Qing Su, seeing her mothers condition, immediately felt her eyes redden. She shook her head fiercely, "We dont want dads money."

Her mother, once the Su Familys eldest daughter, had been known for her beauty and excellent temperament, hailed as the most outstanding socialite in Fairtown. Countless young talents had wanted to marry Sue Su, but for some reason, she married Leonard Xu, the unremarkable second son of the Xu Family at the time. As outsiders lamented the match, Leonard Xu suddenly struck it lucky, not only becoming the head of the Xu Family but also securing several major deals, increasing his wealth exponentially. In a few years, he could rival the three major families of Su, Li, and Tang.

Originally, with her son-in-laws business growing, the Su Family was also benefiting. Just as everyone was praising the former socialites good judgment, the story of the talented scholar and beautiful woman took a divine turn.

Leonard Xus mother was eager for a grandchild, but Sue Su had not become pregnant for several years after marrying him. The family hoped and hoped, and the old lady became increasingly dissatisfied with her. But no matter how dissatisfied the old lady was, Sue Su was the Su Familys eldest daughter and their treasure. Divorce and remarriage were out of the question, so the old lady could only encourage her son to find another way, which led to problems.

Sue Su was not infertile; she just hadnt conceived yet. Later, she did become pregnant. However, at this time, by some misfortune, she discovered that Leonard Xu had a child outside. After several upheavals, the Su Family found out that the childs mother was no ordinary person; she was the sister of a senior leader in Fairtown. The story turned into the legitimate wife becoming the scheming mistress who was swept out, and the mistress became the true love who was welcomed home.

This kind of incident would have been enough for the wives in Fairtowns elite circles to gossip about for half a year, but due to the brothers influence, the wedding was even grander than when Sue Su was married.

However, Sue Su was also strong-willed; she left the Xu Family with nothing, not taking a penny from Leonard Xu, returned to the Su Family with a big belly, and against her familys objections, gave birth to Qing Su.

Originally, back in her own family, with the Su Familys status and wealth, Sue Su, even as a divorced woman with a child, was still a respectable lady in Fairtown. But it was strange that the Su Family didnt know who they had offended, and misfortunes kept happening. First, there was a death at the construction site, then it was found that there were major flaws in the project. The Su Familys second son broke the law, and the younger son took drugs. The once-great Su Family collapsed faster than the Xu Familys rise. By the time her daughter Qing Su was about to go to elementary school, Sue Su left the Su Family.

Mother and daughter were outside for ten years, during which the former Miss Su Family did all kinds of hard and tiring work to make a living. Fortunately, Qing Su was very sensible and never worried Sue Su. Just as Sue Su thought she could watch Qing Su go to college, work, and start a family, she was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. The expensive medical expenses made her decisively give up treatment but kept it from Qing Su, saying nothing. When Qing Su found out, Sue Su passed away shortly after.

"Madam, its dirty and messy here, watch your steps," a deep voice echoed in the dilapidated corridor.

"What are you saying? How can this place where Qinger lives be called dirty and messy?" A gentle and beautiful voice lightly scolded the other party.

"Yes, yes, Madam, I spoke out of turn."

The voices from outside pulled Qing Sus unfocused gaze back. Thats right, before her mother passed away, she went to ask her father. She couldnt leave Qing Su alone outside. Her mother had never bowed to the Xu Family in her life, but now she asked the Xu Family for herself. The decline of the Su Family back then had more or less the shadow of the Xu Family, but no one dared to say it.

Qing Su listened to the voices in the corridor, clenching her teeth in secret. Her mother said a lot before she died, and she knew she couldnt let her mother down. She shouldnt hate the Xu Family, but when she really had to meet them, her eyes turned red. Why didnt anyone ask when her mother was alive, and only came after her mother passed away?

Qing Su sat up from the bed, waiting for the womans arrival.

When Michelletao opened the door to Qing Sus home, the first thing she saw was an old large photo frame. The photo was of a woman with a bright smile. This smile was not the socialite smile she had practiced with chopsticks since she was a child in the Su Family, but a brilliant smile that made ones breath catch. This smile seemed to erase all the traces of the years on her face.

This woman, who had clearly passed away, was still surprisingly beautiful, just like her name. Michelletaos face froze the moment she saw the photo, her eyes flashing with strong hatred, but in the next second, she put on a smile again and called out to Qingqing warmly.

Qing Su opened the door to see a beautiful young woman with a gloomy face looking at her mothers portrait, but in an instant, she showed a happy smile to herself, and then hugged her with heartache.

"Qingqing must have suffered a lot, right? How thin she has become."

If she hadnt just seen the contempt and hostility in her eyes when she looked at her mothers photo, she might have thought she was a good person. Qing Su lowered her eyebrows, hiding all thoughts, and said in a low voice, "Hello, Auntie."

Hearing Qingqing call herself Auntie, Michelletao smiled again, "Qingqing is such a polite child. Qingqing, your mother must have told you that Im here to take you home. Now that your mother is no longer with us, we cant bear the thought of you being alone. Your dad and grandma have been talking about you for a long time, and they are all looking forward to you coming back."

Seeing Qing Sus silent and lowered head, Michelletao could only continue, "Although you are not my own child, you are after all Leonards
