Soon, they arrived at the Su Clan. Seeing her mother standing at the door from far away, Leng Xiaojia was somewhat surprised. There really was something she needed to discuss with him.
"You're here? Come in and sit down. " Mother Su took Leng Xiaojia's hand and led her into the living room. She sat her down on the sofa and instructed the nanny to bring up the fruit.
"Aunt Su, Su Ming said you have something you want to discuss with me?"
Su's mother sat beside Leng Xiaojia, holding her hand and staring at her with a smile, not saying a word.
Leng Xiaojia felt chills run down her spine, so she could only ask her first.
"Jiajia, Su Ming said that you're 22 years old this year?" His mother looked at him with a smile, as if her gaze was glued to his body.
Leng Xiaojia met her mother's gaze, chuckled dryly, and nodded. "Yes."
When his mother heard this, she seemed even happier. She gently patted Leng Xiaojia's hand and said unhurriedly, "Have you thought about when you're going to get married?"
"Pfft ~" Leng Xiaojia almost choked on her saliva as she stared at her mother in disbelief. She was speechless for a long time.
Mrs Su smiled as she touched Leng Xiaojia's cheek. With a smile, she said, "Our Jiajia is so cute."
Leng Xiaojia came back to her senses and gave a dry laugh. "Aunty, I'm still young, so I've never thought about such things."
"He's not young anymore." Su Ming's mother waved at Su Ming, indicating for him to sit down beside his.
"When I was your age, I had kids."
Leng Xiaojia, "..."
"Su Ming told me that he's already an adult, so he wants to get engaged to you first." Mother Su looked at Su Ming with a pleased expression. He sighed and said, "He said he was afraid you would run away."
His son had grown up, and the family was no longer able to keep him.
"Engagement?" Leng Xiaojia looked at Su Ming in shock. 'Boss, how old are you, and you want to get married?'
"Aunty, this …" "This won't do …"
"Why not?" Before Leng Xiaojia could finish, Su Ming interrupted her, "I already have the power to support you now."
He started a software company with his friends. He had made a lot of money by developing a game last time.
"No …"
Leng Xiaojia felt a headache coming on. How should she explain this? Right now, she was not worried about whether or not she could raise a child.
"Jiajia, your mother knows what you are thinking." Su Li's mother saw that Su Ming was excited and she cast him a glance before signalling him not to speak.
Su Ming pursed his lips and did not speak.
"Su Ming may still be young, but he has enough bearing and his abilities are much stronger than a normal grown man's. Besides, I know him." Mother Su drank a mouthful of water and said neither hurriedly nor slowly, "Since young, this is the first time he has liked a girl. He is sincere to you."
Leng Xiaojia thought for a moment before shaking her head.
"Auntie, I'm not just worried about that." She looked at Su Ming, then looked at Su Li's mother and said, "Su Ming is still young, and the future is full of uncertainty. I'm afraid that if I make a decision too soon, both of us will regret it …"
"No one's future is fixed. As long as you have confidence in Su Ming, there's nothing for you to worry about."
"I …"
Hearing her mother's words, Leng Xiaojia was at a loss for words.
"Jiajia, believe me, I will definitely treat you well." When Su Ming saw that Jiajia was not willing to agree, he explained anxiously, "I already have a plan for the future. As long as you promise me, I'll tell you everything, okay?"
Leng Xiaojia hesitated and didn't say anything. She actually wanted to marry him, but …
"Humph, it's better if you don't agree!"
As the living room fell into silence, Su Ziling's voice suddenly rang on the stairs.
Everyone looked towards the stairs. Su Ming's face was dark as he asked in a bad mood, "Zi Ling, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not spouting nonsense!" Su Ziling walked to Su Ming's side. She glared at Leng Xiaojia first, then she hugged Su Ming's arm and acted like a spoiled child, "Bro, you're still so young. Can you not get engaged?"
If elder brother is engaged to Leng Xiaojia, he will be even more eccentric in the future.
"Ziling, stop it!"
"I'm not messing around!" When Su Ziling saw how persistent Su Ming was, she screamed angrily, "What's so good about this old woman? Why do you and mom like her so much?!"
She felt like she was about to collapse.
She was unable to see how good Leng Xiaojia was.
Leng Xiaojia was angered by Su Ziling's "old lady". She quickly stood up and looked at Su Ziling with hostility, "I am an old lady, am I not? "Let me tell you, I'm definitely getting married!"
When Su Ming heard that, shock appeared in his eyes. "Jiajia, you agreed?"
"Eh …" Leng Xiaojia suddenly reacted and looked at Su Ming awkwardly. When he saw the joy in his eyes, he could not help but feel that he was just joking.
"Alright, alright, as long as you agree." Mother Su smiled and clapped her hands, pulling on Leng Xiaojia's hand as she said, "Stay for dinner tonight. We'll discuss the engagement."
Leng Xiaojia could only smile wryly as she felt powerless in her heart …
Please, her... It was just a scolding.
Leng Xiaojia returned to the flower shop dispiritedly. Gu Wan Wan and Qiao Xin were just about to leave when they saw her. They looked at her doubtfully and asked, "Xiaojia, why are you here now?"
"Wan-jie." When Leng Xiaojia saw Gu Wanwan, she pouted with a wronged expression.
"What happened?" Gu Wanwan was confused, so she held her hand and asked worriedly.
"I... I sold myself. "
"What did she sell?" Qiao Xin poured a cup of water for Leng Xiaojia and sat down beside her. She asked curiously, "You didn't leave with Su Ming, did you?"
"That stinking Su Ming!" Leng Xiaojia raised her head to drink all the water in the cup, and then threw the cup onto the table, gritting her teeth, "He wants me to be engaged to him!"
Gu Wanwan glanced at her, "Are you showing your love?"
Wasn't getting engaged a good thing? What was she crying for?
"Aiya, why are you showing me your love?" With a bitter face, Leng Xiaojia explained, "How old is Su Ming? The boy at the age of ten said he was going to get engaged, and I figured when he was twenty he would point at my nose and say, 'You old woman, I got engaged to you for being blind!'
Qiao Xin was amused by Leng Xiaojia's expression. "Xiaojia, are you that unconfident in yourself?"
"It's not that I'm not confident in myself." Leng Xiaojia shook her head, explaining seriously, "I'm not confident about the time."
She was four years older than Su Ming!
In another ten years, she would have turned 34, but Su Ming was only 20 or 9 years old, and that was the prime of his life. He did not believe he would be able to take so many girls to his doorstep.
Gu Wan Wan Wan saw that Leng Xiaojia was really troubled by this matter. She put down the work in her hands, walked to her side, sat down, and said with a serious expression, "Xiaojia, no one can be confident about what will happen in the future."
"Even if Su Ming is four years older than you, what should happen will still happen."
