Su Lenghan’s expression suddenly grew cloudy. He’d been too busy these days. So busy that he had forgotten what he felt when he started to like her. As for ng Xinyan, she had yet to contact him, and neither had she answered any of his calls. His emotion had changed from worry to disappointnt, then to unenthusiasm, and finally numbness.
It seed as though everything had changed. It was different from the beginning, fraught with problems that could not be articulated easily.
Looking at the confusion in Su Lenghan’s eyes, his mother sighed softly. “Child, you’re outstanding and intelligent, but I fear that you can’t judge matters of the heart clearly.”
His mother did not feel good about the current situation. Back then, that girl Yun Bixue had co over and begged her, and then tried to find her again afterward. However, she had avoided seeing Yun Bixue for the sake of the Su family.
In the past, Yun Bixue had won the respect of Lenghan’s father. However, he had done nothing to help the situation of the Yun family’s bankruptcy. That girl Yun Bixue was sure to be harboring so ill feelings.
“Could it be that mother wants to go and find Yun Bixue?” Su Lenghan shook his head. He believed that the only thing he felt towards Yun Bixue was guilt, and not much—if any—in the na of love.
His mother shook her head. “What I ant to say was that since you have already chosen Miss ng, then you should uphold the responsibilities of a man. You need to understand her and love her. Those are all things that won pursue in life.”
After thinking for a mont, Su Lenghan said, “Mother, there’s also a portion of won that pursue a wealthy life, isn’t there?”
His mother’s expression changed to shock. Looking intently at her cold son, she asked, “Lenghan, why do you have these kinds of thoughts?” Her shock ca out of worry that her son may never be interested in a relationship ever again. However, the Su family only had a single heir—Su Lenghan. She had been hoping to have a grandson soon and was very much invested in her son’s marriage.
Su Lenghan rubbed his tired forehead and sat down beside her. He said, “Mother, I’ve heard that the ng family has plans to arrange a marriage with Tian Jing City.”
“Lenghan, rumors shouldn’t be trusted. Miss ng does have feelings for you. From where I stand, if you don’t fight for it or put in any effort at all, Miss ng will feel neglected. Won have their pride too, so if that’s the case, she will naturally turn to soone else. If you treat her better, she will willingly want to be with you.”
That day, Su Lenghan sat and listened to his mother talk for a long ti. Afterward, he drove to the ng family ho himself and waited for ng Xinyan at the ng family’s door.
Every day he would wait at the gates of the ng family house, only to be told by the guard that Miss ng wasn’t at ho. Yet he kept waiting for an hour every day. After an hour, he would drive away. He would go there co rain or shine.
After a week, ng Xinyan almost ran out herself. She saw her love standing outside, and she desperately wanted to dive into his embrace.
“Xinyan, you must hold back. You see, Mother was right all along. You can’t treat n too well. Just look at him now, waiting for you every day. However, this is hardly enough. There needs to be more trials for him.” Chen Pei hadn’t expected Young Master Su’s patience and ability. Regardless of his background, he was an outstanding individual, and he was rich as well. However, everything he had paled in comparison to Tian Jing City. No matter how affluent Ning An City was, it couldn’t compare to Tian Jing City.
If her outstanding daughter could sohow be connected to Tian Jing City, the ng family would no longer be just another ancient family of Ning An City. When the ti ca, she would be extrely influential.
Thinking this, Chen Pei started to feel good about herself. All this was done to set the stage for her son. No matter how excellent a daughter, they will eventually marry into another family. The ones who inherit the ng family will be the sons, and naturally, she had to give more attention to her son.
However, ng Xinyan was oblivious to her mother’s sches. Her mind was only on Su Lenghan. She pressed her hand against the window glass, wanting to have a clearer look at him. She really missed him.
“Mom, I want to go out. It’s raining outside! I must go.”
“Xinyan, listen to Mother, don’t go out. Wait for one more week. Just one more week. After another week, I won’t say anything regardless of what you want to do. I’ll also let your father help the Su family.”
ng Xinyan naturally had no second thoughts. She had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and everyone doted on her. She listened to everything her mother said and believed in her words.
Not much later, Ning An City’s newspaper reported, “Young Master Su expresses his love for Miss ng. Regardless of rain or shine, he stands waiting for his belle each day... Their engagent has turned to little more than rumors... Miss ng is secretly eting with a rich young master from Tian Jing City... The ng family has plans for a marriage with a rich young master from Tian Jing City.”
Once this news had been broadcasted, it caught the public’s attention once again. Recently, the headlines had been all about the Su family. People had started to forget about what happened to Miss Su, but after the broadcast, everyone’s attention turned to the Su family again.
Those who were secretly in love with Young Master Su whispered that ng Xinyan was despicable. Those on the side of ng Xinyan said that she was a goddess who deserved much better than Su Lenghan. There were even so who guessed that the ng family were snobbish and had started to look down on the Su family.
Su Lenghan crossed the street wearing a pair of sunglasses and bought a newspaper. After looking at the headline, he pursed his lips slightly. The sunglasses covered his eyes, and his expression couldn’t be discerned clearly.
Zhao Wei, Su Lenghan’s personal secretary, said angrily, “Young Master Su, all these news reporters have too much ti on their hands! All they do is report these things with zero value or substance.”
“No matter, regardless of what they say, they are entitled to say it. Put the new batch of clothing from the Su family company on the shelves. This ongoing trend will have much a better effect than putting up advertisents.”
“Yes.” Zhao Wei couldn’t help but be impressed at Young Master Su. As a businessman, he did indeed have the sharpest mind. Since Young Master Su had taken over the Su family company, no matter how many crises they were t with, the Su family company was able to withstand them. On the contrary, their business was actually expanding gradually, so much so that they were now almost an international enterprise.
Furthermore, under Young Master Su’s deliberate control, the Su family company’s stock value had also raised trendously.
As for ng Xinyan, who had been waiting with all her heart, she had not seen Su Lenghan for a second week, and instead saw the now-trending news headlines. Her expression grew very ugly. “What is the aning of all this?” she demanded, slamming the newspaper angrily onto the desk.
Chen Pei also had a sour look on her face as she said, “These news reporters really don’t know when to stop! They even dared to talk about us, the ng family!”
“There are certain things that you don’t know, Madam. Young Master Xie is in charge of Ning An City now, and he has given ample freedom to the news outlets and the dia. As long as they have photos, they will dare to talk about anything.”
In the anti, ng Xinyan was rushing to go outside with a reckless abandon.
“Xinyan, where are you going?”
ng Xinyan had left without any hesitation and hadn’t bothered to answer Chen Pei’s question.
At a cafe sowhere.
ng Xintong entered Ya Jian’s room wearing a hat. “Miss Yun!”
“ng Xintong, you’ve co. Please have a seat.” ng Xintong was ng Xinyan’s elder sister who shared a father, but her presence was hardly—if at all—felt in the ng family now.
“Miss Yun, I’ve co to ask a favor from you. Please help cut ties with the ng family.” She was desperate enough to find Yun Bixue for help. She knew that the only one who could help her was Yun Bixue.
Yun Bixue lightly stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon, and then said calmly, “ng Xintong, you’ve done well this ti, much to my satisfaction. However, I’m curious as to why you want to leave the ng family. From what I know, they don’t ask much of you.”
