For three years while Xie Qinghui was abroad, Su Ruowan respectfully cared for his elders at home and even subsidized his living expenses with her own money. However, upon his return, he proposed a...
After the grandparents came out, Fu Mingyue was the only one left in the living room, cleaning up the leftover tea. Huo Jingbang drove out.
"Mingyue, why are you alone here? Where are they?" asked Mr. Huo.
"Dad, the old lady went out to visit the garden with my mother-in-law and Su Ruowan. Jingbang received a call and said he had something to do and he probably won't be back at noon."
"Is that so? Then do your grandpa and the others have time to come over later?"
"Well, my cousin brought my grandpa over."
"good."
Just as he agreed, the housekeeper came over to report that the old man of the Su family and the young master Su He had arrived.
Old Master Huo was beaming with joy. Just now, Old Man Su had really missed the wonderful process of Su Ruowan giving him acupuncture.
"Please ask them to come in, Mingyue, and call them and ask them to come back quickly."
"I'll go find them." Fu Mingyue's eyes flashed slightly. She put down the cup in her hand and turned to leave.
On this side, Huo Shengnian had already contacted Su Ruwan via mobile phone.
Su Ruowan told the two old ladies about Mr. Su and Su He coming to the Huo family. Liu Cai wanted to talk to Liu Hong alone, so she said to Su Ruowan, "How about this, Wanwan, Mr. Su came here to see you too. You go over first."
"I have a few words to say to your grandma alone."
Su Ruowan didn't listen to Liu Cai. She looked at Liu Hong until Liu Hong nodded at her, indicating that everything was fine and told her to go ahead without worry. Only then did Su Ruowan leave.
Return along the original route.
Su Ruowan met Fu Mingyue halfway through her journey.
"Aunt." Su Ruowan took the initiative to greet Fu Mingyue, who was her elder.
"Su Ruowan, my grandpa and my cousin are here, where are the two old ladies?"
"They said they'd come over later."
"Is that so? Okay, let's go first."
"good."
Fu Mingyue turned around and took the lead, walking very slowly.
Su Ruowan didn't want to move too fast.
"Su Ruowan, how did you get to know Shengnian?" Fu Mingyue asked the question she wanted to know most.
"We met by chance."
"I heard that you have an ex, right?" Fu Mingyue knew that Su Ruowan probably didn't want to talk about the details of her acquaintance with Huo Shengnian.
"Yeah, I got dumped on the day I met Huo Shengnian. He pretended not to see it and was rejected by the girls he went on blind dates with."
"If he hadn't pretended to be blind that day, would you still be with him?" Fu Mingyue couldn't help herself again.
"If he hadn't pretended to be blind, we wouldn't have met that day. Maybe, on that day, we wouldn't even have had the chance to meet. Unfortunately, there are no ifs in life. We just happened to meet, and unexpectedly got married."
“…”
Yes, there are no ifs in life.
How she wishes there were ifs in life.
If she could live her life over again, she would definitely try her best to prevent the car accident from happening, or take Huo Shengnian abroad, or persuade Huo Shengnian to give up the fight for the head of the Huo family. The two of them would fly away, away from the imperial capital, and live a carefree life.
Unfortunately, there is no if, and life cannot be repeated.
She was too greedy for the position of mistress of the Huo family. She didn't think it through at the time because she stubbornly believed that Huo Shengnian would definitely defeat Huo Jingbang and become the head of the Huo family.
And when she married Huo Shengnian, it was natural that she gained both love and status.
She didn't expect that a car accident would ruin everything.
What she didn't expect was that a third party would come between her and Huo Shengnian so soon.
She originally thought that she had a lot of time left.
In the past years, apart from her, no other woman of the opposite sex could get close to Huo Shengnian, right?
"Aunt, I actually know that you are Huo Shengnian's ex. Although I don't know why you don't cherish him, I think you will regret it in the future."
“…”
After saying that, Su Ruowan turned and left, leaving Fu Mingyue standing there alone.
Fu Mingyue was completely stunned. Su Ruowan actually knew that she was Huo Shengnian’s ex?
How would she know?
Was Huo Shengnian honest with her?
Is their relationship so good that they can tell each other anything?
Su Ruowan was right about one thing, which was that she would definitely regret it.
There's no need to wait until later, she regretted it a long time ago.
After being stunned for a long while, Fu Mingyue took a step forward and followed.
When she rushed back, Mr. Huo had already given Su Ruowan the thick red envelope he had prepared. Fu Mingyue missed the scene where Su Ruowan politely declined.
At this moment, Su Ruowan was sitting next to Mr. Su and talking to him.
Both of them felt that they had met too late. Old Master Su was never a talkative person, especially in front of the younger generation. What he said was basically the essence.
He doesn't like nagging, and he doesn't like repeating himself, except when he is teaching.
However, in front of Su Ruowan, Old Man Su started nagging unconsciously. He repeated several times how much he regretted that Su Ruowan had not come to the capital for her so-called boyfriend and had disregarded her own future.
In front of Huo Shengnian, Old Master Su did not forget to remind Su Ruowan not to fall in love.
She was told that she had hands that could achieve great things if she set her mind to something, and that she should never give up.
Su Ruowan nodded and agreed.
Huo Shengnian sat on the other side, drinking tea and chatting with Su He.
Su He is her cousin, and Old Man Su is her grandfather. Logically, all of this harmony should belong to her, but now, it has been taken away by Su Ruowan, an outsider.
Fu Mingyue was unwilling to accept this.
She had been in the house for such a long time, but Old Man Su didn't see her. Fu Mingyue was very dissatisfied with being ignored by her own grandfather, but she had no way to deal with the old man.
She could only step forward and join in, "Grandpa."
"Mingyue." Old Master Su looked up at Fu Mingyue and called her as a greeting. Then he said to Su Ruowan, "After lunch, I'll take you to our Su's Chinese Medicine Clinic."
"good."
Su Ruowan did have this idea.
"Butler, clean up two spacious and unique rooms." After giving the order to the butler, Mr. Huo said to Huo Shengnian, "Since you are home, just stay at home. Staying in a hotel is ridiculous."
"If you can stay longer, you can hire a housekeeper to clean your house properly and allow us to stay here."
Huo Shengnian glanced at Su Ruowan, and Su Ruowan was also looking at him, as if she was willing to listen to his arrangements.
Huo Shengnian gave her a reassuring look and said, "I'll listen to grandma on this matter. If she wants to stay, then we'll stay. If she doesn't, Wanwan and I will definitely accompany her."
"Don't worry, I'll tell your grandma that your uncle and aunt's wedding is imminent, and there are still many things that need your grandma's decision. She will stay."
“…”
Huo Shengnian didn't say anything, he just felt that his grandfather was too blindly confident.
