can’t be weak, can’t be timid, can’t be wrong
That day, Su Xiaong spent a long ti communicating with the two elders of the Yin Family.
Zhou ngqin and Yin Shaohui mostly just listened, only occasionally asking a couple of questions when they had doubts about what Su Xiaong was saying.
After Su Xiaong explained the current situation of the Yin Family and the Yin Family’s circumstances and trends to the two elders.
The two elders finally understood the purpose behind Su Xiaong’s actions.
Once she left...
Zhou ngqin and Yin Shaohui couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret deep in their hearts—
Their era was slowly passing by, the unrelenting years left them unable to bear too much sorrow.
When the news of the fourth child’s death ca, a landslide of despair overwheld them, leaving no extra strength and energy for other matters.
Su Xiaong sat by their bedside patiently, analyzing the situation when they couldn’t do so.
Zhou ngqin, who once looked down upon and constantly mocked that daughter-in-law, now found comfort in how she had grown.
But...
Two lines of tears rolled down Zhou ngqin’s cheeks.
Yin Shaohui raised his body against the bed, pulled a tissue from the side, and handed it to his wife...
"She’s only... only twenty-three years old..."
Zhou ngqin had always hoped Su Xiaong could grow quickly, to stand beside her son better and more confidently.
But today, sitting by their bedside, the innocence and naïveté associated with the label "Su Xiaong" had been completely stripped away.
The firmness in her eyes, the decisiveness in her words, the solemnity in her deanor... made Zhou ngqin’s heart ache.
"I wanted her to grow up, but I never expected that it would be the series of events happening to our family, which should never have involved her, that forced her to mature... Shaohui, I really regret... not treating her better..."
"ng Qin..."
"Treating her better, protecting her more, encouraging her more... how wonderful that would be..."
Yin Shaohui looked steadily.
In the world, there are ultimately many things that are unpredictable, many events develop unexpectedly.
..............
Shan Mingxu drove a military jeep with Su Xiaong sitting in the passenger seat.
"Aunt, why don’t you take a nap? I’ll call you when we arrive at the Yin Building."
"By the way, Ming Xu, won’t there be an issue with you not returning to the unit to report?"
Su Xiaong wasn’t very familiar with military regulations, but judging by the seven or eight calls Shan Mingxu received from his superiors, she could sense sothing was up.
In his military uniform, equipped with his weapon... he certainly couldn’t be away for too long.
"It’s fine. Right now, no one is more important to than you."
"..."
"I couldn’t save my uncle, if anything were to happen to you, Aunt, I’d seriously consider ending it for myself."
Su Xiaong gave him a quick glance,
"What do you an ’anything happening’? That’s nonsense. When I go out, I’ll always have bodyguards with . If there’s ever a real need for you, I’ll contact you."
"..."
"You’re a soldier; you have to do justice to your uniform."
Shan Mingxu continued driving, focusing straight ahead, and didn’t reply or make a sound.
Arriving outside the Yin Building, Shan Mingxu woke Su Xiaong from her brief nap.
Xiao ng checked her wristwatch.
The Yin shareholder eting was scheduled for twelve-thirty, and it was now just before twelve.
Xiao ng got out of the car, and before she could close the door, she heard Shan Mingxu say,
"Aunt, I’m headed back to the unit."
Su Xiaong raised her eyebrows slightly and then nodded to Ming Xu,
"Hmm, don’t worry about ; the bodyguards will be with . If I encounter any difficulties, your parents will definitely help with everything they can, so—"
"I’ll return after reporting to the unit. No matter who protects you, I won’t be at ease."
"..."
After saying that, Shan Mingxu closed the car door, ready to drive away, but he seed to rember sothing and rolled down the window.
"Anything else?"
Su Xiaong asked.
"Fu... Fu— never mind, it’s nothing."
With that, Shan Mingxu rolled up the window again, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.
Su Xiaong blinked, not quite understanding Shan Mingxu’s aning but didn’t dwell on it and entered the building.
What Shan Mingxu wanted to say was actually asking Su Xiaong to take care of Fu Sheng...
However, considering that Su Xiaong didn’t know Fu Sheng, and amid moving in the past few days, without having introduced Fu Sheng to Su Xiaong, it would be abrupt to suddenly ask her to look after Fu Sheng.
Moreover, knowing that Su Xiaong already had enough on her plate, asking her to also be concerned about Fu Sheng, Shan Mingxu found it difficult to bring up.
