Su Xing was still as willing as ever to give her all to help her younger brother. If it weren't for her strong inner self and sufficient ability, she probably wouldn't have had the confidence to say such words out loud!
She continued her usual lecture: "Su He, this is the last time I help you. You should grow up now. From now on, you need to earn money honestly, understand?"
Shen Jingyu scoffed inwardly: "Who would believe this is your last time helping him?" However, he also had the means to assist, and as long as he didn't make any major mistakes or cross any lines in the future, he would be there to support him.
What Shen Jingyu never expected was that Su He had just called him brother-in-law for a day and was already seeking his help.
This time, it wasn't about money!
Su He glanced over and met the indifferent gaze of Shen Jingyu.
Du Meng chimed in, "Sister A Xing, I don't need anything extravagant for the betrothal gifts; a symbolic gesture will suffice. I can't let my sister empty her family's coffers for us."
Otherwise, wouldn't I and Xiao He Ge be nothing but vampires?
Su Xing genuinely felt optimistic about this future sister-in-law. If Su He had such a capable partner by his side, perhaps he could grow up after all!
Sister likes you; what should be given will still be given.
Su Xing made a promise, but in the next moment, she shot a dangerous look at Su He.
"Su He, you better be serious when you speak! Don’t blame me for embarrassing you in front of your wife!"
How could she not see that he had his eyes set on Shen Jingyu?
Stars, does this mean you don't consider me family?
Shen Jingyu's displeasure reached its peak.
Su He boldly said, "Right! Brother-in-law is just like family!"
Besides, I'm not trying to make things difficult here!
So? Shen Jingyu accepted Su He's timid gaze that dared not speak up.
He looked at him deeply: "Speak."
Su Xing's fists instinctively clenched tightly.
Su He feigned nonchalance and said, "Oh, it's really nothing major. It's just that my future father-in-law wants me to invite brother-in-law to meet someone; it's just a meal or something."
And I guarantee it won't be difficult for brother-in-law and there won't be any unreasonable requests.
Upon hearing this, I thought it wasn't complicated at all, so I agreed right away.
As Su He finished speaking, he clearly appeared lacking in confidence.
What gives you the right to agree on behalf of others? How unreasonable is that? Do you think you have such a big face? Huh?
Su Xing slammed her palm on the solid wooden dining table in anger, causing the spinning tray on it to shake several times.
The clattering sound of dishes and bowls was exceptionally crisp.
Seeing this, Du Meng silently began to clean up the few broken plates and spilled food.
Indeed, a Sister-in-law like her is not to be trifled with, especially one who is wealthy and capable. Fortunately, she doesn't seem to dislike me.
Du Meng quietly tidied up, while the others remained silent. The atmosphere became awkward, thick with tension. Shen Jingyu didn’t need to guess; he already knew who Du Gang had arranged this meeting for. Shen Huai Min probably didn’t even realize he had such a good subordinate!
"Brother-in-law, do you feel put on the spot?" Su He directed his question at Shen Jingyu. This action only made He Xiaoqing feel more embarrassed.
"Su He, do you really want to be a useless mess? You can’t even handle your own wedding, and now you’re dragging your sister and her unmarried boyfriend into this? I’ve really raised you to be useless!" He Xiaoqing gritted her teeth in frustration. She felt utterly humiliated and often found herself resenting that man who abandoned his family.
Su Xing scolded directly, "Su He, if you had any common sense, you would realize that Du Gang is trying to use you to get to Shen Jingyu. How could that not be putting you in a difficult position?!"
Su He’s face lost its ingratiating smile as he shifted his gaze to the silent Shen Jingyu. Whether or not my wedding can proceed may very well depend on this encounter. Brother-in-law, please don’t abandon me.
"Just go," Shen Jingyu suddenly said. "My family has nothing to do with you. If you agree to this, we’re done."
"Su Xing, I’m giving you another chance to speak!" Everyone could hear how cold Shen Jingyu's voice was. They had only just established their relationship, and here she was making a fuss over something trivial.
Shen Jingyu’s temper flared! Even if he repeated it a hundred times, she shouldn’t interfere with my family; otherwise...
Su Xing never imagined that Shen Jingyu would kiss her right in front of her mother, brother, and sister-in-law.
Cough! Cough! He Xiaoqing felt completely at a loss for where to hide. Cough! Su He felt as if he had choked on his own saliva.
Only Du Meng, aside from feeling a bit awkward, thought this scene was so beautiful and romantic!
Due to the large number of onlookers, Shen Jingyu didn’t go overboard. After the kiss, he looked at Su Xing with a threatening gaze and said, "If you dare bring up that topic again without reason, I’ll drag you out onto the street and kiss you in front of everyone so they all know you’re going to marry me."
"You! Are you out of your mind?" Su Xing was flustered, her face burning red as she lowered her head and avoided looking at anyone else. Wasn’t she trying to protect him?
That old fox, Du Gang, how could he possibly let things go so easily without thoroughly extracting the value from Shen Jingyu?
I must have looked foolish; my girlfriend was throwing a tantrum at her family home, and I was left feeling helpless.
Shen Jingyu completely ignored Su Xing's remarks. He spoke to Su He, "Tell Du Gang that I agree. There’s no need to delay your wedding; let him put it on the agenda and handle it personally."
Su He’s eyes lit up, her expression instantly brightening. "Should I have him contact you? What’s the best way to reach you?"
Shen Jingyu opened his mouth and recited a string of numbers.
Su Xing was so furious that she stood up to leave. "Mom, if that person contacts you again, please let me know! If necessary, I’ll arrange for you to hide somewhere else."
With that, Su Xing slipped on her shoes and slammed the door behind her, not even glancing back at Shen Jingyu. It was as if he wasn’t the boyfriend she had brought along.
Shen Jingyu rubbed his nose awkwardly. His sister had such a temper; she was a devoted sister but wouldn’t allow anyone else to help!
But wasn’t he someone else? In the end, she still excluded him from her troubles!
If one day Su Xing could rely on him without reservation and throw all her mess onto him, that would mean she truly accepted him from the bottom of her heart and would never leave him again.
However, it seemed like that day was still far off.
“Auntie, I’m leaving now. You have my WeChat; feel free to contact me anytime.”
He Xiaoqing understood that Shen Jingyu meant more than just his home. She nodded lightly in acknowledgment.
She then explained, “A Xing has been independent for so many years; if you want to be her boyfriend, there will be some adjustments needed. However, if you can help temper her fiery personality, I would be willing to support you.”
Shen Jingyu replied calmly, “I love her, which means I love all of her. I won’t try to change her; her standards are my standards for choosing a partner.”
He Xiaoqing understood; her daughter had firmly captured this man’s heart. There was nothing more for her to say.
