Chapter 698 Phoenix Fate (1)

Luo Xueyan was startled, not knowing why Madam Su suddenly said such a terrible thing. She thought to herself, isn't it just that they haven't married yet? It's not like women are afraid of wasting their youth. Su Mingfeng's talent and appearance are there for everyone to see, so it's natural for him to be picky. However, seeing Madam Su's distress, she still comforted her, "What's the big deal? Madam, don't worry too much. Look at our Qiu'er, he still hasn't married yet. You have to be careful when choosing a wife. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you hastily choose someone for him and find out later that he's not suitable, it will hurt both you and others."

"Madam, you're absolutely right." Madam Su took Luo Xueyan's hand and said with a smile, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. That's what I originally thought. But Mingfeng is a very quiet kid. He never tells me anything. I have no idea what he's thinking."

Luo Xueyan listened perfunctorily. She had met Su Mingfeng before, and he was quite eloquent, even engaging in debates with students. Madam Su was a man of few words, and she was quite outspoken. She really didn't want to continue discussing other people's family matters with Madam Su, so she changed the subject and asked, "Madam Su, don't you want to know how you raise this sparrow?"

Madam Su glanced at the two birds in the cage, but pretended not to hear and continued, "Let's talk about my good-for-nothing son."

Luo Xueyan: “…”

"When Mingfeng was a child, he loved a painting his father found. Later, he couldn't find anything else to his liking. He wouldn't even look at anything others gave him. But after his father gave that painting away, Mingfeng thought about it for many years." Madam Su sighed, "Mingfeng is a very loyal person. He only likes the best things. Because of this, once he likes something, he won't compromise on anything else."

Luo Xueyan was just wondering when she heard Madam Su's voice: "It's the same with this girl. He fell in love with one girl, and no other girl would ever enter his heart again."

Luo Xueyan suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So Young Master Su already has a sweetheart. I wonder which girl is so lucky."

This was originally a polite remark, but Mrs. Su had been waiting for this very sentence. She clapped her hands and said, "It is the girl from your house!"

Luo Xueyan's face suddenly turned pale and then blue.

It felt like this was coming to her door, but she was beating around the bush. Luo Xueyan said that the other party had brought two bird cages but didn't ask a single question about the birds, and kept boasting about her son. Now she suddenly understood.

He wants to get married!

Madam Su saw that Luo Xueyan didn't look particularly happy, and she felt anxious. She knew that the Shen family was wealthy and powerful, so there was really no need to take the Su family's small fortune seriously. There were many families like the Su family in Dingjing who were willing to marry into the Shen family. In addition, after seeing Shen Miao with her own eyes today, she didn't see any of the cowardly and foolish daughters of wealthy families that were rumored. Such a dignified and well-mannered girl, marrying her home as the mistress of the household would be the best way to keep the family in check. If everyone was satisfied, it would all depend on the attitude of the Shen family.

Luo Xueyan's expression turned cold. "Is this why Madam Su came here today?"

Madam Su was a little embarrassed. She knew it was wrong to come to see her daughter-in-law under other pretexts, but she still said, "Madam Shen, please don't be angry. I know I was abrupt today, but you are also a mother, so you should understand my feelings."

Luo Xueyan's expression relaxed slightly. When Madam Su came today, her attitude was indeed good. She said, "Why would Madam Su come to tell me this for no reason?" Luo Xueyan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Shen Miao and Su Mingfeng had secretly made a promise? Although the customs of Mingqi were relatively open, it was not a glorious thing to secretly make an alliance without the knowledge of both families.
