"If you all don't mind, then I will agree to marry Brother Xiao Su!"
Du Meng had actually struggled with this decision for a long time. He felt guilty towards Su Xing and Shen Jingyu. As for his relationship with Su He, it was a battle of emotions, and it didn't matter who owed whom. However, the involvement of their families made Du Meng uncomfortable.
"You finally agreed? So my marriage depends on my sister's approval!" Su He felt a pang of discomfort upon hearing his future wife's words.
"I proposed once, and you just agreed to my sister today? Is this a form of disrespect towards me?" Su He was feeling overwhelmed.
Du Meng looked at Su He slyly. "That just proves your sincerity in wanting to marry me; you need my sister and brother-in-law to witness it!"
Shen Jingyu raised an eyebrow lightly. "Du Meng, you really call your brother-in-law quite smoothly!"
Su He knew that he still held a low status at home, but this matter was finally a significant relief, like a heavy stone that had dropped.
"Sister, about my marriage! What are you planning to do? You know I haven't saved any money."
I think my Lord Yue is quite concerned about appearances. How about you lend me some funds?
Ms. He stood up in anger, unable to eat any longer. She had already given her son a substantial amount; now he was coming here to drain his sister's resources!
"Mom has already given you money. Just prepare for the wedding yourself; it should be something from your heart, not relying on others."
"I'm just here to assist from the side. Whether it's good or bad, your father has already agreed to let you marry his daughter."
He isn't someone you can just charm into submission. Think about it!
Du Meng felt her silly man was a bit dazed again. She smiled brightly at Su Xing. "Sister-in-law, you're amazing!" She made a fist with four fingers and raised her thumb high. Du Meng really liked Sister-in-law's unassuming yet confident demeanor!
At that moment, Shen Jingyu made a suggestion: "You can choose between Shenghao Yujing and Wangyue Tower. It's on our turf, so no charge."
Su Xing looked at the man beside her with a hint of amusement. "What’s this? Showing off your capabilities?"
"No! I'm just using my own connections! I haven't even tapped into my capabilities yet! This isn't Shen Group's resource; Shenghao Yujing is private property, while Wangyue Tower belongs to my brother!" Shen Jingyu clarified.
Su Xing nearly rolled her eyes to the back of her head! Wasn't this still showing off?
Su He quietly suggested, "Then how about we symbolically settle the accounts? And I can take my sister along as a bonus—packaged deal with my brother-in-law—how does that sound?"
"Not at all!" both Su Xing and Shen Jingyu replied simultaneously.
"Very well! It's all over the top! Worth every penny!" Shen Jingyu thought that if this reward came from his future wife, he would surely be overjoyed.
Ms. He had been hiding in her room for quite some time alone. Meanwhile, the four people outside had managed to finalize the framework for the wedding arrangements in less than two hours over a meal.
On the wedding date, Xiao Meng suggested asking your parents. If they don’t provide a date, then let Mom consult the master on the mountain; finding an auspicious day is essential!
Su Xing finally addressed this matter and exchanged a glance with Shen Jingyu before heading to Auntie’s room. As for Lawrence, He Xiaoqing chose to remain silent.
Unable to hold back any longer, Su Xing directly asked, “Does he know about my father? Is it possible that my father is still alive? Is he using this against you?”
“What are you talking about?” He Xiaoqing didn’t admit anything, but her hesitation was evident to Su Xing.
“Mom, wake up! How could someone who’s being hunted still be alive?”
“My father was exceptional, but he wasn’t a god, nor did he have nine lives. Lawrence is just a codename for Zhan Ying; he might have more names.”
“But one thing I can be sure of is that he has insight into your heart and is threatening you with what matters most to you.”
“I don’t know what his true intentions are, but if you really get involved with him, that would be a grave mistake! Our family will never find peace again!”
He Xiaoqing replied, “Is there peace now? Do you think Du Gang suddenly urged them to marry for no reason? Don’t you think someone is stirring things up behind the scenes?”
Su Xing raised an eyebrow in shock; her mother certainly had more experience than she did.
“I will send someone to keep an eye on you. Be careful not to hurt your own people.”
“I will also carefully prepare for their wedding! Mom! Don’t put yourself in danger!”
“I hope that on my wedding day, I won’t be the pitiful one who has lost both parents.”
“Stupid girl, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you cursing your mother to death?” Ms. He raised her hand as if to hit her, but some hidden kindness in Ms. He prevented her from acting harshly in front of her daughter.
Su Xing had always been direct when talking to her mother; this was the first time she felt such convoluted communication.
She could sense that her Auntie was hiding something from her. However, Su Xing wasn’t a child anymore; she could investigate things herself.
Night fell, a cradle of sins.
Su Xing and Shen Jingyu drove towards Xing Yu Mansion.
“A Yu, what do you think Du Gang is really up to?”
Shen Jingyu sensed the confusion from the woman beside him and a hint of unease in his heart.
Whatever he intended to do, they would face it head-on. According to his words, the truth would be revealed at Su He’s wedding in half a month!
Su Xing couldn’t shake off an unsettling feeling ever since she met her Auntie today.
The trees desire calmness, yet the wind does not cease. This is an unavoidable reality. But always remember, I am by your side.
You really are a multifaceted man, both insightful and stubborn! Who would have thought that one day it would be Shen Jingyu, the one who constantly talks about suicide, discussing philosophical questions with him?
I’m really curious, why did you write those suicide notes back then?
Shen Jingyu: Is this bringing up my dark history?
Do you know I still have those notes saved? Want to take a look at them? Your current mindset is really different from back then.
Shen Jingyu felt a bit embarrassed at Su Xing's words, his heart racing. No one wants their dark history to be dug up. So that night at home, he had to make sure Su Xing had no time to look for those old scraps!
As soon as Su Xing stepped through the door, he was roughly pinned against the doorframe by a man and kissed fiercely. It was unclear whose alcohol breath affected whom, but once they stumbled into the room, they never came out again.
Outside, the neon lights flickered while inside, soft gasps and moans intertwined endlessly.
The next day, as the sun rose and bathed everything in golden light, on the soft bed, Su Xing's rounded shoulder peeked out from under the covers. His back bore some mottled bruises—marks of their intimate encounter.
Shen Jingyu? That dog of a man? What time is it? Su Xing kept his eyes closed and reached out to feel around him; the pillow was still there but had lost its warmth.
