Jiang Sui transmigrated into a historical romance novel as a background character, so insignificant that she didn’t even deserve a name in the original story. But the moment she heard the name Xiao...
The lunch prepared by the medicine pavilion was also very sumptuous, with a total of sixteen dishes, covering the most comprehensive specialties and cuisines of the entire Jeju Prefecture.
At the dinner table, Mr. Su expressed his sincere gratitude to Xiao Hechuan and his wife, as well as Xiao Lanlan, thanking them for rescuing Su Yanqing at the time and for going to great lengths to help him find a doctor, which saved his life and spared his leg.
If it weren't for them, even if Su Yanqing could survive, he would probably end up disabled.
When you are a guest at someone's home, you have to leave after noon. According to the rules in Jeju, you will not stay for dinner. If you come in the morning, you have to leave in the afternoon, unless you come in the afternoon, then you can leave at night.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Su actually prepared a gift for Xiao Lanlan alone.
She treated Su Yanqing differently, so she was also different with Old Man Su. Even though they hadn't said a few words and it was only their first meeting, strictly speaking, she was also meeting his parents.
Old Su felt that he should support whatever his grandson liked and should also show the girl his attitude.
He prepared a jade ruyi for Xiao Lanlan. Although it was flashy, it was elegant and satisfying, showing that he valued her and supported her relationship with Su Yanqing.
Before leaving, Xiao Lanlan found that she had received a separate gift. She was a little flattered and did not dare to accept it easily.
"Mr. Su, this gift is too valuable. I cannot accept it. Besides, I am here as a guest. How can I take away something from the host when I leave?"
Before this, Xiao Lanlan didn't know what was in the box.
"Good boy, you have to take it. It's not a valuable thing. You will know it after you go back. Don't let me down."
Old Mr. Su spoke to Xiao Lanlan very lovingly.
Xiao Lanlan had no choice but to look at her fourth brother and ask for his opinion.
Xiao Hechuan knew what Mr. Su meant. He was acknowledging Lan Lan, so it was a kind of attitude, so he could accept the gift.
"Since Mr. Su prepared it specially for you, then accept it!"
Since the fourth brother had spoken, Xiao Lanlan shamelessly accepted it. However, as smart as she was, she held the gift and bowed to Su Lao in a serious manner again:
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your kindness."
Seeing this, Mr. Su nodded with satisfaction and asked Su Yanqing to personally see them out.
He was old and had limited energy. He was also very tired at the moment and wanted to go back to his room to rest, so he asked the housekeeper to help him go back to the yard first.
Su Yanqing personally helped Xiao Lanlan into the carriage. He was very gentlemanly and did not do anything beyond the rules. In fact, he was also very curious about what gift his grandfather had prepared for Lanlan, and he would ask the butler later.
The carriage started off and headed home. Xiao Lanlan held the box and couldn't wait to open it and take a look. Jiang Sui was also curious. When she saw the small jade ruyi lying inside, she knew that at this point, Lanlan and Su Yanqing were already halfway successful.
"As expected, as expected. It seems that Mr. Su thinks highly of you. He is optimistic about you and Mr. Su II!"
Xiao Lanlan was already surprised by the jade ruyi, and after Jiang Sui's explanation, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
He buried his head low and smiled shyly.
When Xiao Hechuan saw her like this, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. As long as Lanlan was truly happy from the bottom of her heart, he felt that everything he did was worth it, and it seemed that he would feel less guilty towards her.
No matter what the process is, isn’t it all about the result?
As long as the result is good.
It's just that this matter probably can't be hidden from Xiao's mother and the others after returning. However, Xiao's mother and the others are so smart that they have already figured out something. It's just that Xiao Lanlan refused to admit it before. There is no evidence for this kind of thing, so who dares to speak it out openly?
Now, the two young people have already secretly decided to spend their lives together.
But Xiao's father and mother were still very worried. They felt that they were not a good match for the other party and were afraid that Xiao Lanlan would be wronged.
But Xiao Hechuan will take action, and with him around, they will be able to put their minds at ease.
…
The news that Mr. Su held a grand banquet for the Xiao family soon reached Mrs. Su's ears. She knew every move, even the matter of Yu Ruyi.
Mr. Su did not deliberately conceal it because he knew that many things would have to be revealed sooner or later.
In that case, it’s better to talk it out sooner rather than later.
Sure enough, Mrs. Su was very impatient, so she came to the medicine cabinet to talk to Mr. Su in person the next day.
When Su Yanqing heard that she was coming, he naturally tried to hide as far away from her as possible.
When Mrs. Su arrived, she refused to drink tea and looked unhappy, but she still greeted and offered tea in a proper manner.
"Hey, how come you have time to come and sit here with me today?" Old Su looked relaxed.
"Father, you know why I came here. Why are you asking me questions when you already know the answer?" Mrs. Su's tone was calm, but a little aggrieved.
She has a good relationship with her father-in-law, but they have spent less time together in recent years. However, she still shows the proper filial piety and respect to him.
"Then just say what you want to say. Today I will have a good talk with you!"
We are all straightforward people, without hiding anything.
Mrs. Su also said whatever she wanted to say:
"I heard that father invited several young people from the Xiao family to the medicine pavilion yesterday. This is your mansion. I have no right to ask who you invited. But you actually gave the little girl of the Xiao family a jade ruyi. Do you know what giving a jade ruyi means? Isn't this equivalent to treating her as your future daughter-in-law?
