460 Weakness and Nemesis
“How complicated can this be? Anyway, Lin Ying and Eldest Brother are just strangers now. There’s no need to sacrifice her happiness so easily for those superficial reputations and benefits,” Su Qing said calmly with a frown.
When Su Zheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He said loudly, “That’s right! I was overthinking things. If I had bypassed the Old Master and faced the Lin family’s child directly, things would have been much simpler! Qingqing, you’re still the smartest. You’re so quick-witted!”
Su Qing looked at Su Zheng, who had suddenly praised her, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly. It wasn’t obvious, but she retorted, “This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with being smart, right? This isn’t something difficult to think of.”
As Su Qing spoke, she heaved a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but retort, “I think as long as you’re not someone who’s especially stubborn and follows the rules, you’ll have such a reverse thought process! I think Daddy, you’ve been suppressed too badly by Old Master usually, so you simply agreed for Eldest Brother. You can’t be such a pushover!”
Su Lu looked at his father’s depressed expression and couldn’t help but laugh. Fortunately, his father’s gaze wasn’t in his direction, so he didn’t notice it in time. Su Lu composed himself and echoed, “Sister’s idea is not bad. It’s very simple and easy to implement. I think we can give it a try.”
At this moment, Su Qing and Su Lu still didn’t know how much trouble they would cause the Su family in the future!
It would especially cause a lot of trouble for Su Qing.
Su Qing shrugged at her third brother indifferently. After taking a deep breath of fresh air, she said, “Since this matter has been decided, let’s go back quickly. I haven’t had lunch today! I’m so hungry!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately stood up from her chair and turned to look at her father and third brother, who were still sitting on the chair, her eyes filled with urging.
Su Lu stood up and looked at Su Zheng’s side profile. “Since we’ve already thought about how to resolve the matter, let’s hurry back! It doesn’t seem appropriate to keep ignoring Eldest Brother and Sister An Le.”
Su Zheng heaved a deep sigh of relief. He glanced at Su Lu, then turned to look at Su Qing and nodded. “Let’s go.”
Actually, while they were sitting outside talking, Kong Yue and Su Qian had been talking to Su Xing and An Le.
Kong Yue’s gentleness and determination comforted An Le a lot. In the past, when she and Su Xing were studying together, she had already liked Auntie Su very much. She felt a feeling similar to her mother from Kong Yue, which was that they were equally magnanimous and tenacious, as though they could always be her last safe haven.
“Thank you, Auntie. I can actually understand what you’re saying. Don’t worry, I won’t hate Uncle,” An Le said gently.
When Kong Yue heard this, she nodded and gently patted the back of An Le’s hand. She said, “It’s good that you understand. I know you’re a very smart child! Your Uncle Su isn’t that unreasonable usually. I wonder what’s wrong with him today?”
After Su Qian sighed, he turned to look at Su Xing and said softly, wanting to make his eldest brother happy. “Eldest Brother! Don’t be unhappy. I keep feeling that Dad will definitely give his blessings to Sister An Le and you in the end! Look, Sister and Third Brother have been out with Dad for so long, but he didn’t chase them back. I think there’s a chance! You can choose not to believe that it’s Third Brother’s ability to persuade others, but you have to believe in your sister’s wit. She will definitely think of a way to get Daddy to agree! Didn’t she also coax you very well the last time I asked her to help me? She’s very good at this!”
When Su Xing heard his youngest brother, Su Qian, comforting him patiently and cutely, his heart warmed. It wasn’t in vain that he doted on Su Qian so much.
