Chapter 128 Birthday Surprise
Perhaps the title of "old man" irritated Father Li. His face turned red with anger and he began to speak without thinking: "I am an old man, how can you be better? If I were not rich, how could you have lived such a good life these years?"
The two people were cursing at each other, neither of them was willing to say a word. The two children watching cartoons next to them were trembling with fear. Li Qiao was even more so that he couldn't rest. Finally, Su Minghui couldn't stand it anymore: "Why are you quarreling in front of the children? Go out and talk it out!"
Father Li then remembered that there was a patient nearby and pulled his stepmother outside. After a while, Father Li's scolding could be heard again.
Su Leyun patted Li Qiao on the shoulder and comforted him: "Your most important task now is to take good care of your body. Don't think too much."
Li Qiao nodded, looking very calm: "Don't worry about me, I'm used to it. Our family is just special."
Li Qiao paused and said sincerely, "Also, thank you so much for saving my life."
Although he was unconscious at that time, from the voices he heard and the pictures on the news, he knew that Su Leyun and Chu Yanxiao must have experienced a fierce battle and risked their lives to enter that place. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't know if he would still be alive now.
It's funny that in times of life and death, friends are more reliable than family.
Chu Yanxiao smiled: "Friends don't talk about these things. Get well soon, and we'll play together again."
Su Minghui, Fu Siwen and the others were unwilling to continue watching other people's embarrassing moments, so they simply said goodbye and left together.
When I left, Li's father and stepmother were still arguing, and it seemed that they had no intention of continuing to live together.
The facts were just as they had guessed. Not long after, the two divorced at the insistence of Li's father. Li's father was also very smart and did not let the stepmother get a penny.
Naturally, the stepmother was not convinced. She threatened him with the child several times but failed to change his mind. She only agreed to give him child support every month and refused to give him any other money.
Li Jiao's life seemed to be framed in that summer. When school started in September, he did not report to the university and directly applied for leave of absence. After a full year of rest, the trajectory of his life slowly returned to normal.
Although the trauma was not as severe as at the beginning, but when we met again, his personality seemed like a different person. He used to be playful and joking, but now he is taciturn and introverted. However, he always remembers the kindness of Chu Yanxiao and Su Leyun, and has kept in touch with them.
Of course, all this is a story for later.
Not long after returning from Country Y, it was Su Leyun’s birthday, and everyone gathered together as usual, but this time the party was a little special. The little birthday boy Su Leyun was no longer the only protagonist, the real protagonist was someone else.
On the birthday, Su Leyun walked into Su Minghui's room holding a big gift box. Su Minghui quickly went up to catch it and said, "Who gave you such a big gift?"
Su Leyun blinked her eyes: "Mom, this is a gift I gave you, come and see if you like it!"
Su Minghui was surprised when she suddenly received the gift. Although she said, "Why are you giving me a gift on your birthday?", she did not slow down at all when she opened the lid of the gift box, and inside was a pink velvet dress.
There seemed to be little stars in Su Minghui's eyes: "It's so beautiful! I like it very much!"
"Then wear this today!"
"Today?" Su Minghui hesitated: "Wouldn't it be too grand? This is your birthday."
Su Leyun's birthday was a simple family gathering and there was no dress code required, but the dress in front of her was obviously a party dress. Su Minghui was worried that it would be too much and would steal Su Leyun's limelight.
"It's my birthday, so you have to dress up nicely," Su Leyun came behind Su Minghui and held her shoulders with both hands. He didn't know when he had surpassed Su Minghui in height. His mother, who used to be so tall, now had to look up to talk to him. Su Leyun pushed Su Minghui into the room and motioned her to change clothes: "Because my birthday wish is for you to be happy, mom."
While Su Minghui was changing her clothes, Lin Zhiyan walked in from the door. He was not as calm as usual, but was as nervous as a young boy. He asked, "Is everything arranged?"
Su Leyun patted his chest: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
He breathed a sigh of relief. Su Minghui pushed the door open and his heartbeat, which had just calmed down, started to beat faster again. He couldn't even speak.
Su Minghui is already over 50 years old. Although she looks no more than 40 years old, she rarely wears pink clothes. At this moment, she feels uncomfortable: "Why are you looking at me? Is it weird? Or I should change."
She turned around and wanted to go back to the room, but Su Leyun quickly stepped forward and pulled her back, signaling with his eyes to Lin Zhiyan to speak.
Lin Zhiyan's Adam's apple rolled and his voice was deep: "Very beautiful, especially suitable for you."
The comment was brief but full of sincerity. Su Minghui's cheeks turned red, and she looked shy like a teenage girl.
Lin Zhiran extended his hand, and Su Minghui understood and extended her hand. The two walked outside together. The lawn was filled with flowers and balloons, and it was very beautifully decorated.
It's just... it doesn't look like a birthday outfit, it looks more like a proposal...
As soon as this thought popped up in Su Minghui's head, Lin Zhiyan, who was so nervous that he was a little stiff, suddenly turned to face her. Friends and relatives also gathered around. Grandma Li stood in the front with a happy look on her face.
Lin Zhiyan finally took out a small pink box from his pocket. He was so nervous that he almost dropped the box on the ground. Fortunately, he caught it and the onlookers also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he knelt on one knee, not willing to let go of her hand, and looked up at Su Minghui affectionately.
"Minghui, life is long. We met too late, so I don't want to miss any of your days from now on. Will you marry me?"
More than ten years ago, the Su and Lin companies reached a cooperation, and the contacts between Su Minghui and Lin Zhiyan became more frequent. The more they got along, the more Lin Zhiyan discovered that Su Minghui had a charm that was unique to mature women. She was like a plum blossom in the cold winter. Although it was windy, snowy and icy, she could always find a glimmer of hope.
At first he didn't think too much about it and just treated them as ordinary friends. However, it was obvious that he was not the only one who could see Su Minghui's goodness. The boss of the cooperation partner also had a good impression of her and repeatedly invited Su Minghui to travel and have dinner together. Su Minghui couldn't refuse for the sake of cooperation, but in Lin Zhiyan's eyes, this seemed like a love story.
