Chapter 691: Give me a peach, and I will give you a jade in return
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shiqiu rubbed his temples tiredly. Before he was quiet for two minutes, there was another knock on my door.
As soon as the door opened, Tang Yi came in, "Cousin, have you talked to Su Yi? What did he say?"
Xiao Shiqiu glanced at him slowly and leisurely, completely different from his aggressive look just now, and saw him say nonchalantly, "Oh, I just mentioned it to Su Yi, and he agreed to go and persuade his sister, but you shouldn't hold your hopes too high.
Su Yi has never been as favored as his sister at home. You know how much Old Madam Su dotes on this granddaughter, so Su Yao may not listen to advice. "
Tang Yi had a sad face, "Cousin, you are kidding, I just mentioned such a big thing to him?
You're telling me not to hold out too much hope? I've placed all my hopes on you. I'm your blood cousin, so you must always keep me in your heart.
If I were really forced to marry that damn girl Su Yao, what would happen to my Xiaoyi? She would definitely hate me to death."
Xiao Shiqiu looked at Tang Yi with disdain, "Tsk~ I only care about my wife. If you were as conscious as I am, you wouldn't have gotten into such trouble."
Xiao Shiqiu knew how to poke people in the lungs at any time, and Tang Yi was indeed discouraged.
I felt a little sorry for him, so I stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said to him in a comforting tone, "Ayi, don't worry, I will take good care of Tianyi.
Give me a peach, and I will repay you with a jade. When I was cheated on, I will comfort her the same way she comforted me and will not let her get too sad.
My attitude was very sincere, and Tang Yi was so moved that his eyes turned red.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shiqiu calmly pulled me back to his side and said seriously, "Ayi, you are my cousin, I will not sit idly by.
However, you must also be mentally prepared. If the Su family refuses to compromise, we may have to take legal action."
Tang Yi seemed to come back to life. He excitedly pulled Xiao Shiqiu's hand and nodded vigorously, "Cousin, no! Brother, you are my real brother. Please help me with this matter. If you have any questions in the future, just tell me and I will work like a slave for you!"
Xiao Shiqiu pulled his hand back expressionlessly and said perfunctorily, "Alright, alright. My company has thousands of employees, so we have no shortage of people. Just stop causing trouble for me in the future, and that'll be your repayment."
With Xiao Shiqiu's assurance, Tang Yi left contentedly.
According to Xiao Shiqiu, Tang Yi hasn't returned home since he returned to China because her mother helped Su Yao set him up. This was probably the most serious fight he had with his mother since he was a child.
"My aunt has been very angry with Ayi these days and even called me." Xiao Shiqiu peeled a Guiwei lychee and fed it to me.
As a northerner, I always thought that all lychees were called Feizishao. Xiao Shiqiu made me realize that lychees that look similar actually taste different.
I squinted my eyes happily, "It really tastes different, the meat is tender and has a nice fragrance.
What did your aunt say?
Maybe I changed the subject a little too suddenly, Xiao Shiqiu paused while feeding me, and I didn't notice before I took a bite. His eyes darkened, and he teased, "It tastes good with lychees and meat."
I was stunned for a moment, then I reacted, quickly opened my mouth, and coughed awkwardly: "Stop it, let's talk about business!"
Xiao Shiqiu chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Business? Isn't your business eating lychees?"
I glared at him and said coquettishly, "Hey~~ What on earth did your aunt say? Don't change the subject!"
Xiao Shiqiu rolled up his arms and said, "You suddenly did this to me, and I got goose bumps all over my body."
I pretended to pinch him, but he immediately turned serious. "Let's talk business. Don't touch me. My aunt said Ayi was too violent this time and didn't even come home. She asked me to persuade Ayi not to make things too awkward with his family."
I frowned. "Your aunt still wants Ayi to bow to her? Is this daughter-in-law for her or for Ayi?"
Xiao Shiqiu wiped his hands lazily and leaned back: "Auntie probably didn't expect Ayi to be so determined."
Xiao Shiqiu said that his aunt thought that Tang Yi was still letting her control him as before, and that the marriage with Su Yao was a fait accompli, so it would naturally be a done deal.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yi was determined to fight his family to the end this time. He said that at worst, they could get married first and divorce after having a child. If Su Yao was willing to be a widow, she could marry him. Anyway, he would never touch her again in this life. He would learn from Xiao Shiqiu and never give in to someone he didn't love.
My family can force him to get a marriage certificate, but can they also force him to sleep with me? If I use trickery to marry him, then we will be enemies for the rest of our lives.
I listened for a long time without closing my mouth. Such harsh words were not like Tang Yi at all. I always thought he was a soft-hearted person, but I didn't expect that he would bite when he was forced into a corner.
"Ayi has said this much, and your aunt still won't give in?"
"From what she said, she does have some regrets, but it doesn't seem like much. What she meant was that Su Yao is pregnant, and the two of them should spend more time together. With a child as a bond, their relationship will naturally improve over time."
I sighed, feeling a little sympathy, but not much. "So no matter how violently Yi makes a scene or how harshly he speaks, it seems his mother doesn't believe him."
Xiao Shiqiu nodded, "Yes, my aunt is a very stubborn person, but she has always been very nice to me, so I can't go against her too obviously.
So I was caught in the middle of the conflict between Ayi and his mother, and it was very hard for me."
I nodded. Xiao Shiqiu was my man, so of course I felt bad when he made things difficult for me. As the saying goes, it's better to die than to die alone. In this spirit, I sighed sincerely, "I hope Su Yi can convince Old Madam Su. Otherwise, this matter is really a headache."
Xiao Shiqiu smiled, his tone filled with confidence: "Don't worry, Su Yi is a smart man, he knows how to deal with it. If Su Yao still insists on not letting Tang Yi go, then I can only go to the Su family myself."
Huang Tianyi seemed to be unaffected by Su Yi's matter. She hadn't been to school for the past two days, and there hadn't been much chat in the group recently. Everyone seemed to be busy with their own things.
Huang Tianyi’s circle of friends is quite active. She posts photos of herself and her parents checking in at various scenic spots near City A. The family of three’s good looks have attracted countless likes.
Her trembling account, 'Happy Yitang', has seen a sharp rise in followers, perhaps because Prince Christian appears from time to time. She's almost become a small internet celebrity by sharing her daily life.
Of course, I would not take the initiative to mention unhappy things. For a while, not mentioning Tang Yi seemed to have become a tacit understanding between us.
However, Su Yao did not know what stimulated him, and instead of appearing in a high-profile manner and trying to suppress his opponent through public opinion, he adopted a more precise confrontation strategy and pointed the finger directly at Huang Tianyi.
