Xia Yun could not help but lower her head, avoiding Su Jinxiu's anticipating gaze, and asked softly: "Embroidery, do you love Lu Fengting a lot?"
"Right."
Su Jinxiu firmly nodded, and said: "When I first saw Brother Feng Ting, I was eleven years old, but at that time, I fell for him. After he always came to my house, I always saw him, and even though I knew that he always went there for big sister Yu Xin, I was still very happy to see him."
"Sister Yan'er, I know that the Brother Feng Ting loves you. He looks at you the same way he looked at Sister Yu Xin. I can tell that he loves you even more than Sister Yu Xin did."
"Big Sister Yan'er, although I love Brother Feng Ting, and also want to get rid of the Su Family, I won't try to rob someone of their love. If you weren't about to get engaged to Xiao Jingyan, I definitely wouldn't have come to beg for your help."
Su Jinxiu pleaded: "Big Sister Yan Er, can you help me?"
Xia Yun lowered her head.
There was no response.
In her mind, she kept recalling Su Jinxiu's words: He loves you, even more than when he loved Big Sister Yu Xin.
Is this true?
If he really loved her that much, why had he been unwilling to tell even a single lie?
"Big sister Yan'er." Su Jinxiu called out.
"Huh?"
Xia Yun recovered from her shock.
"Elder sister, you … Do you like the Brother Feng Ting too? " Su Jinxiu asked nervously.
Xia Yun was stunned.
How would she answer?
Should he answer with his own heart, or with the reality of today?
Su Jinxiu's eyes flashed, and immediately followed up with a smile: "I'm really silly, big sister Yan'er definitely doesn't like Brother Feng Ting, otherwise why would I get engaged to Xiao Jingyan."
Xia Yun felt something clogging up her chest, making him unable to breathe.
Liu Kai walked over and smiled: "Little sister brocade, I think it's best for you to leave this matter to fate. It's not something that can be forced, even if someone else wants to help you, it's not possible."
"But, I really have no other choice now." Su Jinxiu's tears were already falling down.
Looking at Su Jinxiu's pitiful face, Xia Yun's heart felt like it was twisted into a fried dough twist. It was painful and sour, and was extremely uncomfortable.
"Also, thank you for your gift." With that, Xia Yun turned and walked upstairs.
Liu Kai looked at Xia Yun's back as he went upstairs and smiled.
She knew that there was a chance of bringing the two of them back together.
In the end, Su Jinxiu could only wipe her tears and leave.
Steward Lin asked someone to send Su Jinxiu down the mountain, but Su Jinxiu was still crying along the way, causing her to feel sorry for him. At the foot of the mountain, Su Jinxiu got off the car and sat in the Su Family's carriage.
"Miss, where are we going?" the driver asked.
Su Jinxiu's face instantly darkened. After wiping away the tears that didn't match her expression, she lightly said, "Let's go home."
"Yes." The driver stepped on the gas and left.
Through the window, Su Jinxiu looked at the faintly discernible Lin Family Castle halfway up the mountain, and a sharp light flashed past her eyes.
After returning to the Su Family residence, just as Su Jinxiu was about to go upstairs, she heard Su Li's voice from the living room: "How's the effect? Does Lin Yuyan agree? "
"Nope." Su Jinxiu replied indifferently. After which, she prepared to head upstairs.
A demonic smile appeared on Su Li's face, and he said: "Little sister, it seems like your act of acting poor is useless. Yesterday I helped you put on a show, but it did not work on Lu Fengting, or on the Lin Family."
Initially, I promised you that as long as you marry Lu Fengting and get the support of the Lu Family, you wouldn't need to marry into the Middle East. However, this agreement has a time limit, and you don't have much time left.
Su Jinxiu laughed coldly, she turned and looked at Su Li, her red lips opened and close, and her voice cold: "You do not need to remind me of this." After which, he walked up the stairs.
Lin Clan.
Right after Xia Yun returned to her bedroom, she heard someone knocking on her door.
"Who is it?"
she asked.
She wanted to be alone for a while.
"Me."
Liu Kai's voice.
Xia Yun hesitated for a while, but still stood up and opened the door for him.
After opening the door, Xia Yun turned around and continued to lie on the bed. "If you want to bring up that person's name, then go out. I don't want to hear it for the time being."
She really wanted to be quiet.
Liu Kai knew that he couldn't rush it, so he spread out his hands and said: "I just want to call you down to eat breakfast. Also, it's good for the baby to take a walk."
"I don't want to go out." Xia Yun felt that she was becoming lazier and lazier.
"If you do not exercise, it will be difficult to have a baby. Of course, you can have a cesarean section, but it will leave a scar on your lower abdomen." Liu Kai explained the truth.
Xia Yun weighed the pros and cons a bit before standing up and saying: "Alright."
Xia Yun spent the entire day exercising as much as she could under Liu Kai's urging, but Steward Lin didn't care about this. Everyone knew that a pregnant woman who was nearly four months old wouldn't be able to sleep in a good home.
At night, Lin Zhi returned.
During dinner, Lin Zhi said, "Yan'er, today Xiao Tianya will be going to the company."
"Right."
Xia Yun looked at Lin Zhi, waiting for him to continue.
Lin Zhi drank a mouthful of soup, and said with a relaxed tone: "He came to ask me about the date of your engagement with Xiao Jingyan."
Xia Yun's chopsticks stopped in mid air.
Lin Zhi saw all of Xia Yun's expression and actions, and immediately followed up: "I will reject him, but the news has already been announced, it won't drag on for long."
"Yan'er, I told you that night that you must take responsibility for your actions."
"I know." Xia Yun said.
Lin Zhi looked at Xia Yun and said indifferently: "Yan'er, Xiao Jingyan will be coming to discuss the engagement with you very soon. What father wants to tell you is, as long as you are willing, father will give you a chance to choose anew. As for the consequences, father will bear it for you."
With that, Lin Zhi stood up, walked to Xia Yun's side, and lightly patted her head, and said gently: "Think about it carefully."
Lin Zhi went to the study room to take care of some group affairs. Ever since Xia Yun returned, in order to stay at home and accompany Xia Yun for dinner, Lin Zhi moved all the work he could do at home to his family.
Xia Yun was deep in her thoughts. She stood in her bedroom and looked at the cold moon through the window, secretly lost in thought.
Liu Kai walked over and asked: "You haven't eaten much dinner, aren't you hungry?"
Xia Yun shook her head.
"Even if you weren't hungry, the little guy in your stomach would be hungry, right?" Liu Kai looked at her bulging stomach, and said earnestly: "Xia Yun, right now, you have the identity of a stepmother, you can't just think of yourself, understand?"
Xia Yun sighed, and rubbed her stomach. Ever since this child followed him, she had been living a miserable life, and had suffered a lot.
As a mother, he definitely wasn't qualified.
The silent atmosphere lasted for a few minutes, before Liu Kai finally asked: "Xia Yun, what did you plan to do?"
Xia Yun replied: "Engagement."
