The soft jade in his arms, how reluctant he was to let go.
But breaking the ice wasn’t urgent, whether bla or hatred, where else could she escape to? He should give her more ti.
Suppressing the agitation of reunion, Fu Yinli picked up the guiding cane from the ground and asked her, "With , or back to the Su Family?"
"The Su Family."
Without any hesitation.
Fu Yinli’s brows slightly furrowed, he led her out of the hotel.
By this ti, all the guests had left, and the Su Family mbers had also left earlier; only Du Qin was waiting at the door.
"Auntie."
A gentle and kind gaze looked over at the two of them.
At this mont, the words Su Lingzhi had originally prepared suddenly vanished from her mind, and she ekly followed Fu Yinli’s voice to call her, "Mom."
Du Qin didn’t feel quite right, "Let’s go ho first."
Then, Du Qin took Su Lingzhi over and said goodbye, "Drop her off here, we’re heading back first."
After speaking, Du Qin closed the car door, bypassed the other side of the car, and sat inside.
Watching that car disappear into the night.
Housekeeper Zhao then walked over to Fu Yinli’s side, "Sir, back to the old house?"
"Back to Jing Garden."
...
On the way back, Du Qin suddenly spoke, "Is he from the Fu Family?"
Su Lingzhi was slightly stunned for a while. Back then, when she learned that Fu Yinli was from the Fu Family, she didn’t have much of a reaction and didn’t tell anyone. "Did Grandma Jiang tell you?"
Du Qin nodded, "When you were hospitalized, he had people looking for you. Madam Jiang also told us everything."
Upon hearing this, Su Lingzhi held her hand and explained, "Mom, about the Jiang Family, he indeed went too far, but it was because there was a misunderstanding between us. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, could you forgive him..."
Her voice grew weaker and weaker, increasingly lacking confidence.
But Du Qin didn’t care at all about what happened between them; she was more concerned about her future life.
"Our family is not a prestigious clan and is not comparable to the Fu Family, moreover..."
Moreover, she was not her biological daughter, not a real Su Family mber.
This sentence, Du Qin didn’t say, not wanting to hurt her heart.
"Those in high positions have no hearts, the Fu Family might not necessarily value our Su Family, he may be coaxing you now, but once a conflict of interest arises, he can kick you away without hesitation."
Du Qin continued to persuade, "The Jiang Family is on good terms with us, Chenglin treats you well too. I don’t want to see you miss such a good person, nor do I want you to regret in the future, getting caught in the deep enmity of the Fu Family’s household."
"Mom, I just turned twenty-two, marriage is still early for , after this whole ss, I just want freedom in marriage. Besides, I haven’t been dating Fu Yinli for long, if he really treats badly, I am not bound to him."
Seeing her stubborn, Du Qin suddenly had no idea, and decided to drop it for now.
Currently, the Su Family hasn’t encountered any difficulties, marriage alliances are just the icing on the cake and not urgent.
Su Lingzhi continued, "In the future, no matter what happens, I can bear it, you don’t have to worry about it."
"You had a car accident, and he wasn’t by your side promptly; it was Chenglin who accompanied you for these two weeks."
To this, Su Lingzhi had nothing to say.
Because it is a fact, nothing can change it.
Seeing her in low spirits, Du Qin ended the topic, "Alright, since you have made a decision, Mom won’t interfere."
Su Lingzhi felt slightly relieved, "Thank you, Mom, for understanding."
Suddenly thinking of sothing, Su Lingzhi asked, "By the way, Mom, did Brother Chenglin go back?"
"He should have gone back, I haven’t seen him all night."
"What about Grandma Jiang?"
"Your grandparents sent her."
...
Arriving at the Su Family Mansion.
Just as she got out of the car, a maid greeted them, passing on the ssage, "The master is looking for the young lady, waiting in the garden."
Then, Du Qin supported Su Lingzhi directly towards the garden.
The lake surface reflected the shimring lights, at this mont, an old man in a black cheongsam sitting alone, playing chess, stopped his move upon hearing the sound, and turned to look over.
"Dad."
"Grandpa."
Du Qin and Su Lingzhi called out in succession.
"You’re back." The old man’s voice was kind, his eyes radiating benevolence, his gaze on them shining with light.
"Dad, it’s so late, why aren’t you asleep yet?"
"Can’t sleep, waiting here for Zhizhi to co back and play chess with ."
"But, Zhizhi can’t see..."
Su Lingzhi then said, "Grandpa, I’m a bit confused right now and want to calm down, let’s play chess tomorrow."
The old man was not willing, "Put your thoughts aside for a while and play this ga with first."
Su Lingzhi had no choice but to sit down.
In this house, she didn’t have deep feelings with her grandparents, but often got along well with her grandfather and grandmother, being with them was naturally relaxing.
Grandpa and Grandma were different from her Grandparents, her Grandparents didn’t have high expectations for her, as long as she could get married it was fine, while her Grandfather and Grandmother had very high demands, teaching her from a young age that girls are not weaker than boys, they should be strong and independent.
She also knew that Grandpa calling her over, was probably not just for a simple ga of chess.
"Mom, you can go ahead with your work, I’ll stay here with Grandpa."
"Then go easy on your Grandpa."
The old man imdiately beca displeased, "What do you an go easy on ."
Du Qin smiled, "Then don’t stay up too late, I’ll go accompany Mom, and make you so supper in the anti."
The old man said, "No need for supper, you go do your own thing, don’t interrupt us grandfather and granddaughter."
Du Qin helplessly.
The old man has always been fond of Zhizhi, naturally he wasn’t worried about anything.
Leaving only a maid to guard from afar.
After everyone left, Grandpa Du said to her, "White or black?"
Su Lingzhi: "Black."
Following that, ca the unhurried sound of arranging the chessboard.
From childhood to now, she played many gas with Grandpa, rarely winning, her chess skills were all learned from Grandpa.
Su Lingzhi felt the chess pieces in the bowl, and said, "Grandpa, can you let have a bit of an advantage?"
"Can’t see doesn’t an your brain’s broken, as long as your brain can function, that’s enough." His voice, though old, carried a deep aning.
"At least let correct two mistakes. I can’t see, if I accidentally place a wrong piece, wouldn’t that be an unworthy victory for you."
Grandpa Du indulged her, "Alright."
Su Lingzhi smiled, tracing the chessboard’s lines with her hand, found a spot, and placed a piece.
Seeing her like this, Grandpa Du felt a pang of sympathy, his eyes glistening with tears as he looked at her.
Grandpa Du followed her move by placing another piece.
Initially, the ga moved smoothly, but for Su Lingzhi, not being able to see made playing chess not only a test of her layout skills but also her mory.
Every ti Grandpa Du made a move, he would tell her where he placed the piece and describe the current black and white situation on the board.
The more pieces placed, the more complex the ga beca.
Grandpa Du wasn’t in a hurry, patiently waiting for her to make her move.
