Chapter 554: There are always people who have fantasies

Tang Zikai looked at her and shook his head. "We're just going out to buy some food. We don't need too many people. You can do whatever you want."

He knew this lady well. She never touched women's houses. Her hands were used for calligraphy. The kitchen had nothing to do with her.

As a childhood friend, he understands this very well.

In response, Su Qi did not refute and nodded.

"All right then."

Just after sitting in the yard for a while, I saw Cui Keke coming downstairs in a pure white dress, "Brother Zikai, let's go."

When he saw Su Qi, he immediately asked with a smile,

"Sister, do you want to eat anything? I'll bring it to you."

"No, just buy whatever you like."

Suki looked her up and down, especially the crystal bow on her hair, which sparkled in the sunlight.

"Tang Zi just said that the market was a bit dirty and messy. I'm afraid your clothes are not suitable for it."

Hearing Su Qi's reminder, Cui Keke pinched her skirt with both hands, turned around in front of her and blinked.

"Really? I think this skirt is pretty."

Humph~, she just wants to appear beautifully in front of Brother Kai, and no one can stop her.

"As long as you like it."

Su Qi curled the corner of her mouth, went into the house to pour herself a glass of water to moisten her throat.

When Ge Tong and Dai Qing came back, they saw her sitting quietly on the sofa, frowning and looking deep in thought.

"Why are you so sad? We are here for vacation, not to worry."

Ge Tong walked over, patted her on the shoulder, and sighed. Her sister was too passive and didn't know how to fight for herself at all.

"If you like someone, just work hard for him. Why bother to be upset?"

Dai Qing also agreed with this.

"Frequent frowning will form hanging needle lines, which is not auspicious. It is better to be cheerful."

After listening to the two people's advice, Su Qi chuckled, stood up and poured them a cup of tea.

"I'm fine. I just thought that my vacation will be over soon and I should book a flight back home."

"Yeah, the vacation is over so soon. I'm really reluctant to let it go."

After the New Year holidays, they have to go back to work. As women, if they want to achieve something, they must work harder than men.

"When Tangzi and the others come back, ask them if they want to book tickets together. As long as it doesn't delay our flight the day after tomorrow morning, it'll be fine."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

Ge Tong had no objection and turned to look at Dai Qing.

"What are your plans? Do you want to go back with us? If you go back to the capital, I'll treat you to a meal and we'll keep in touch in the future."

"I have more free time, so if we have to go back, we will definitely go together. I have fun wherever I go anyway, so it doesn't matter to me."

She is a freelancer, so she can do whatever she wants.

"You know what, I'm a little jealous of you because you don't have to work nine to five or overtime. It's really nice to sleep in and wake up naturally every day."

"No pain, no gain. You don't have Xiaoqing's ability. If you want to be as idle as her, you can only go home and wait to get married."

Seeing her envious tone, Su Qi gave her a direct reminder.

They both started their own business because they didn't want to be manipulated by their family members. They wanted to prove to their parents that besides family marriage, they could also create value and that getting married was not the only way.

With the same goal, the two hit it off and joined forces to start a business. Fortunately, their luck is pretty good, and so far, the company's profits are quite considerable.

The three of them sat in the living room, chatting intermittently, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

It was not until Cui Keke's cheerful laughter came from the yard that Dai Qing turned to look at Su Qi. Seeing that her expression did not change much, she could not help but raise her eyebrows.

"I can see that you like Tang Zikai. If that's the case, why don't you take the initiative? At least show your feelings."

"She definitely can't do this. The Su family is a family of scholars with strict rules. She was taught to be well-educated, gentle and virtuous since she was a child, but it was still a feudal way. She was constrained in such an environment since she was a child. It is impossible for her to take the initiative to show her affection to a man."

"Fortunately, we studied abroad together for three years and were influenced by foreign culture. We have changed a lot. Otherwise, you would have seen a classic lady from a noble family, talking about virtue all the time."

When talking about her good sister, Ge Tong shook her head repeatedly.

"Her gentle and virtuous ideals have penetrated into her bones and blood. If you want her to change, you have to steal her away from the Su family when she is young."

Dai Qing was a little surprised to hear this. Families that pass down their traditions through books have a high level of cultural accomplishment and a much higher level of thinking than ordinary people. But she didn't expect that they still retained the old rules in private.

"Why isn't Cui Keke influenced by the Su family?" Dai Qing said, pointing outside.

"She is the daughter of her stepmother and she has not changed her surname. In principle, the Su family will not restrict her."

There is also her stepmother, who, although she follows the family rules and regulations on the surface, does little to discipline Su Keke in private. Moreover, she allows her to choose her own boyfriend.

Her family knew all this, but they turned a blind eye to it, after all, her surname was Cui.

Dai Qing nodded. So that's how it is.

"Then you also know that she likes Tang Zikai, right?"

Su Qi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then nodded.

"If the Su family and the Tang family were to marry, it would only be Tang Zikai and I. Su Keke is not qualified to marry on behalf of the Su family."

Marriages between families are based on mutual interests, and Aunt Tang would never allow an unrelated person to marry into the Tang family.

She knew this, and Tang Zikai also understood it.

But the old man of the Tang family was very open-minded and did not particularly care about family background. As long as his grandchildren liked something, he would not object. Having said that, if Tang Zikai really wanted to find a vase to put at home, he would definitely encounter many twists and turns.

The other half of one's children and grandchildren is directly related to the prosperity and decline of the family, so it is impossible not to care. Therefore, no matter how romantic some people are outside, they must marry a wife who is of equal status and complements each other.

Therefore, Tang Zikai's other half may not have a good background, but must be smart and capable, and be able to hold up half the sky on her own.

As for someone like Su Keke, she is not at all worthy of Aunt Tang's attention.

That's the fact, and it won't change just by saying a few coquettish words or acting cute.

Normally, the stepmother had been in the Su family for so many years, and she should have understood the rules of the wealthy family. But she still had illusions, thinking that as long as she let her daughter go out more and make more friends with the rich and powerful, she could have a future for herself.

Unfortunately, those wealthy families only care about profits.

If Cui Keke had recognized the reality earlier and used the Su family's power to find herself a husband from a lower family but who was good to her, and lived a stable life, that would have been the best outcome.

If you have too much ambition and nothing to match it, you will end up with nothing.
