Chapter 474: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (3)
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. Song Seung-kyung and Cho Se-hun set out on the journey to the Su family together.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward because the two had no common topics. Fortunately, the road was not far and they arrived in a short while.
When they arrived at the Su family, the servants at the door were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
After all, although the Su family is quite famous in Jincheng, its strength is far behind that of the Song family or the Cao family.
Since ancient times, merchants were rich but had low status, so many wealthy businessmen would send their children to school in order to change the family's destiny.
Everyone in the Su family was both surprised and frightened by the arrival of the two distinguished guests.
Even Old Master Su, who usually didn't care about worldly affairs, made an exception today and came out to greet them personally, and drank tea and chatted with the two of them.
This honor makes the entire Su family feel honored.
After some pleasantries, Song Chengjing finally stated his purpose. He looked at the Su family with a sincere tone and a firm gaze and said, "This visit is to inquire about Brother Yanqing's injury. I wonder how he is doing now?"
Because Cao Shixun is related to the Su family, his words are more intimate: "Yes, aunt! Has my cousin's injury healed?"
This person changed his previous nonchalant attitude, his face was full of concern, and he was eager to know the answer.
Cao Wanning wanted to take them to Su Yanqing's room and let them reminisce about the past.
But before she could open her mouth, "someone" had already made other arrangements.
Su Weicheng quickly asked someone to call Su Yanqing over.
After a while, a pale young man came slowly towards them. His steps were a little unsteady and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered yet.
Seeing Su Yanqing's look, Song Chengjing and Cao Shixun both frowned.
Song Chengjing asked with concern: "Brother Yanqing, your injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you take a good rest?"
Su Yanqing smiled and shook his head, but the amplitude was a little too large, and he couldn't stand steadily for a moment, and the servant beside him had to support him. After a long time, he slowly said: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Song, I am much better now.
I just heard that you were coming, and I couldn’t wait to see you.”
Cao Wanning felt a pain in his heart as he looked at his son lying on the hospital bed, his face pale and his breath weak.
She couldn't help but take a step forward and wanted to touch the child's forehead, but at this moment, Su Weichen on the side spoke first.
"Yanqing, since your classmates and cousin have come to visit you, you can accompany them to walk around and have a look these days." Su Weichen's voice was gentle and kind, but there seemed to be a subtle deeper meaning hidden in it.
"But..." Cao Wanning was about to retort, but when she met her husband's smiling eyes, she swallowed the rest of her words back.
She knew very well in her heart that although Su Weicheng usually did not dare to interfere too much with her actions because he was afraid of her brother's power, this man would never show any mercy as long as it involved his own vital interests.
At this time, Cao Shixun didn't notice the strangeness in the atmosphere at all. He strode to Su Yanqing's side, patted his shoulder, smiled brightly and said, "Cousin, you must get well soon! When you are well, we will have a drink together!"
Witnessing everything that was happening before his eyes, Song Chengjing couldn't help but feel deeply worried about Su Xiangran's future.
It is too dangerous to grow up in such a complex and contradictory family environment.
He secretly made up his mind to protect her at all costs.
"Uncle, aunt, don't take Shixun's words seriously." Song Chengjing explained, "We are here to visit Brother Yanqing's injury. If we cause him to prolong his recovery time, it would be our fault.
Besides, the school has only closed for a few days, and we have to go back to school tomorrow at the latest. We don’t have time to stay in Jincheng for long, but we still want to thank you for your kindness.”
After hearing what Song Chengjing said, Cao Wanning's expression improved a little, but Su Weichen looked a little regretful.
Then he took out the class notes he brought for Su Yanqing and said, "Brother Yanqing, I know you must be worried about your studies. Here are the key points of knowledge I copied. You can study on your own while you recover from your injury."
Su Yanqing took the booklet he handed over, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he saluted to Song Chengjing: "The one who understands me is Brother Chengjing. This is exactly what I need."
Song Chengjing waved his hand and said, "It's okay. This is what I should do. I also brought some gifts."
As he said that, he asked the driver to take out the gifts from the car. He took out the snack box he had bought earlier and said, "I heard that you have a younger sister at home, so I brought some gifts for her as well."
Seeing this man carrying a lot of bags while he himself had nothing, Cao Shixun felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Shixun is one of us, why would he bring any gifts to his aunt's house!" Cao Wanning was naturally good at observing people's expressions. Seeing his nephew's embarrassment, he spoke up to help him out.
At this time, Su Weicheng also spoke up: "You two gentlemen are very thoughtful. It is a blessing for my son to have friends like you. If you need any help in the future, just ask."
Song Seung-kyung and Cho Se-hun both said politely, "Thank you very much, uncle."
