Chapter 217 Angry
Watching his daughter-in-law leave, Mr. Su abandoned his son without hesitation and followed her. He eagerly helped Mrs. Su up, rubbing her back with one hand, his voice flattering: "Oh, wife, when did you get old? Aren't you still as beautiful as a flower? Wife, is your back so sore? Let me massage it for you..."
Su's mother let Su's father massage her lower back, putting all her strength into his hands that were supporting her, and said softly, "Judging from Beibei's voice just now, she seems to be in good spirits, so she should be alright."
At first, Su Xiangwan and the others tacitly kept Su Xiangbei's injury a secret from Su's father and mother.
Only after confirming that Su Xiangbei was alright did they mention it casually.
Even so, Mr. and Mrs. Su knew the truth in their hearts.
Su Xiangbei went on such a dangerous mission and survived a hail of bullets; how could it be just a minor injury?
However, since the children didn't want them to worry, they could only pretend to believe them.
Today's teasing was merely a slight "punishment" for the two brothers' deception, a display of their parents' mischievousness.
Of course, the fact that they conspired with Su Xiangbei and Su Xiangnan to deceive their daughter Su Xiangwan is something that Su's parents selectively ignored.
Su Xiangnan watched his parents flaunt their affection as they went back to their room upstairs.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the phone: "Hello..."
"Big brother, is something the matter?"
Facing Su Xiangnan, Su Xiangbei once again regained his calm and wise demeanor.
"How is your injury?" Su Xiangnan asked in a lower voice.
A hint of warmth flashed in Su Xiangbei's eyes: "It's almost healed."
What I initially thought was a fatal injury has, I don't know what mysterious method my younger sister used, has healed almost completely in just half a month.
Even the vital energy lost due to excessive blood loss was completely replenished.
Su Xiangbei now even feels that he is strong enough to kill a bull.
"It seems Mom is angry."
Su Xiangnan rubbed his temples. Whenever his mother was angry, she would deliberately call them Nannan and Beibei as a way of "getting back at" them.
"It's alright, Dad's here! He's the best at coaxing his wife."
Su Xiangbei chuckled and said, "Didn't you see how Dad turned his back on his son just now in order to appease Mom?"
"You make it sound so easy. Anyway, it's not you who's by Mom's side," Su Xiangnan sneered.
God knows how difficult it was for him to stay by his parents' side during this time.
I was afraid that I might accidentally become part of their game.
"..." Su Xiangbei suddenly felt a little guilty.
Just then, Su Xiangnan suddenly spoke up: "No matter what, don't let your family worry in the future."
God knows how heartbroken he was when he heard that his younger brother was seriously injured.
How much she regretted it when she entrusted this mission to her younger brother so that he could return to China and meet his sweetheart.
Who could have imagined that a plan that was arranged almost flawlessly would lead to multiple injuries and even the deaths of several people because of a drunken slip of the tongue by Gu Yanfeng?
If Su Xiangnan had known beforehand that this mission would be so dangerous, he would never have given the opportunity to Su Xiangbei.
Fortunately, Su Xiangbei survived.
Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to face his parents and younger sister in the future.
He will live the rest of his life in regret.
Although Su Xiangnan's voice remained as steady as ever, Su Xiangbei could still detect a deep concern in it.
His nose tingled, and a blush crept into his eyes. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, I won't make you worry like this again!"
Su Xiangnan hummed in agreement and stopped talking about the topic that they both tacitly didn't want to discuss. Instead, he said, "There are only three days left until the New Year. Please give Niannian a big red envelope for me later."
Su Xiangbei was taken aback, and before he could say anything, he heard Su Xiangnan speak up: "As for the money, just go to the house I bought in Beijing to get it. Don't try to play the poor card with me. Do you think I don't know you haven't hidden any money in that courtyard house in Beijing?"
Don't let his younger brother's harmless appearance fool you. He's a master at wearing gold-rimmed glasses to conceal his sharp, piercing eyes. In reality, he's as cunning as a fox.
"Brother, how could I dare to complain about being poor to you!"
Su Xiangbei rubbed his nose, thinking to himself, "New Year's money is easy to say, but the Lantern Festival is Nian Nian's first birthday party. I can't possibly pay for Nian Nian's first birthday gift too!"
"You don't need to worry about that. We've already bought the first birthday gift for Niannian and have it sent to China. Just remember to receive it for me."
Su Xiangnan spoke up.
Every year for his first birthday gift, he would spend a whole day shopping with his parents before they finally managed to buy everything they needed.
They personally delivered the gifts onto the ship to ensure their safe return home before they felt at ease.
Even if their grandson doesn't bear the surname Su, he should still receive the best gifts on his first birthday.
Hearing Su Xiangnan say this, Su Xiangbei felt relieved. He asked when the ship would arrive, chatted with Su Xiangnan for a few more minutes, and then hung up the phone.
"Second Brother."
At this moment, Gu Yanfei walked over with an amused expression, looked down at Su Xiangbei, and said with some surprise, "You blushed just now. What did your aunt and uncle say to you?"
She had planned to avoid him when he came in, so as not to interrupt his conversation with the Su family.
She naturally wouldn't object if Su Xiangbei asked her to stay.
After all, she and Su Xiangbei were already engaged, so there was no need to deliberately avoid many things.
Hearing Gu Yanfei ask this question, Su Xiangbei smiled and naturally wouldn't tell her about how his mother liked to call him "Beibei".
Instead, she said in a serious tone, "My mom asked me if I had proposed to you, and she also asked me when we were going to get married."
Now it was Gu Yanfei's turn to blush.
She looked away and said, "This... Auntie really asked that?"
She felt that it wasn't like that at all.
"Of course. Or, should I call them back now and have you come and ask them yourself?"
As he spoke, Su Xiangbei made a gesture as if to pick up the phone and call back.
"No...no..." Gu Yanfei quickly pressed his hand down and said, "I believe you, isn't that enough?"
It would be so awkward to call and ask.
