When Su Manning returned ho, the atmosphere in the living room was heavy. Su Zhenxiong was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar, and Zhao Shuya was sitting next to him in silence.
"Man Ning is back," Su Zhenxiong noticed Su Manning.
Su Manning had just reached the staircase when she heard Su Zhenxiong calling for her, so she had no choice but to brace herself and walk over.
"Dad, Mom," she called out.
"Hmm." Su Zhenxiong extinguished his cigarette and asked, "You’ve been engaged to Zhi Ke for quite a while now. How are things going between you two?"
"It’s okay," Su Manning answered truthfully. "He’s good to and willing to engage with , but I’m not sure what’s on his mind, as he hasn’t shown any signs."
What Su Manning ant by signs were things like "holding hands," "hugging," or "kissing."
Although she and Song Zhike were in an arranged marriage between families, it could be said that they were formally dating now. No one would likely gossip even if they were lying in the sa bed.
However, she and Song Zhike were still quite distant, not even holding hands in the most basic sense. Their interaction mode was more like that of two familiar strangers rather than lovers.
Su Zhenxiong nodded and said aningfully, "Sotis girls need to learn to be a bit more proactive. Zhike is quite a talent, and it’s great that you can marry him. Both Mr. and Mrs. Song are very satisfied with you. Once you move into the Song Family, they will surely treat you well, and our Su Family will also benefit from your connection, which will help us establish a stronger footing in the business world."
"I understand." Su Manning was a well-behaved girl, always obedient from a young age. Even if she was dissatisfied with her father having affairs with other won, she wouldn’t go against his wishes.
"Man Ning has always been sensible, unlike your precious daughter, who never cos ho at night. Who knows where she’s out ssing around," Zhao Shuya spoke with innuendo, as if she had to pull Su Jiuyi out for ridicule to show how noble her own daughter was.
Su Zhenxiong glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Just mind your own affairs. I know how to handle that rebellious daughter. I’ve already sent soone to investigate, and we’ll soon have news of her."
"Having news is best. At least it proves she’s still alive. She’s such a grown-up, why can’t she learn anything good and insists on running away from ho. Truly, young won are hard to keep at ho!"
"Jiuyi didn’t run away from ho," Su Manning suddenly spoke up.
"Man Ning," Su Zhenxiong’s tone beca stern, his deep voice sowhat somber, "Do you know where she is?"
"I do."
Actually, this matter had been weighing on Su Manning’s mind for a long ti. She had wanted to speak up several tis but held back at the last mont. After hearing the conversation between Su Zhenxiong and Zhao Shuya just now, she felt that she could no longer keep it hidden; otherwise, it would eventually lead to trouble.
Now, sending people to search was fine, but if they couldn’t find her, her father would definitely file a report, which would be a real embarrassnt.
After careful consideration, Su Manning decided to reveal the truth: "My sister is with Shi Aoju, and it seems like there’s sothing special about their relationship."
Rembering the events that happened during their previous mountain trip and the Truth or Dare ga when Qi Jingren asked Shi Aoju the question, "Do you actually like Su Jiuyi?"
If there was nothing between them, Qi Jingren wouldn’t have asked such a question, after all, those kinds of questions aren’t asked frivolously.
