Chapter 34
Qin Lian returned a little late, so Su Wenxing made herself something to eat first.
Su Wenxing recently learned how to make dumpling soup, so she made herself a bowl to tide her over.
When Qin Lian returned with the crayfish, he had already set out the necessary bowls and chopsticks.
While the two were eating, Su Wenxing brought up their idea of returning to their hometown to develop their careers in the future.
Qin Lian originally didn't want to speak, but he frowned when he heard him say that.
"You want to go back?"
"You don't want to?"
“I don’t like my dad’s condescending attitude, as if he wants to control me for the rest of my life. I would much rather develop my career in L City.”
Su Wenxing: "Then let's develop in L City first. Once the company here is stable, you and I can go back to inherit the family fortune."
Qin Lian stopped eating and took out a tissue to wipe his mouth.
"Your family is so rich, why don't you just inherit your share?"
"But your family is very wealthy. If you don't go home to inherit the family fortune, are you going to give it all to someone else?"
Qin Lian lives alone. If he doesn't go back, the family property will just benefit his relatives.
Among Qin Lian's relatives, quite a few are rather annoying.
Su Wenxing: "It just so happens that I still have to study, and I won't graduate for another three years. I'll study here for three years, and you can work here for three years. Three years isn't a short time, is it? Enough time for you to get the company on track. Then we can find an all-around assistant, hand over the company here to him, and we can go back to our hometown."
Seeing that Qin Lian remained silent, Su Wenxing continued to persuade him, "Going back to our hometown doesn't mean we're never coming back. We can travel back and forth between the two places in the future. If you don't want to see your father anymore, I'll come here with you."
Qin Lian nodded. "Alright, let's say that for now."
Anyway, three years is still a long time, and we don't know what will happen by then.
Qin Lian didn't really want to go back; his relationship with his father wasn't good.
His father was strong-willed and liked to control him.
Qin Lian is a strong-willed person, and the two of them being together would easily lead to unpleasantness.
Qin Lian didn't want to upset him, nor did she want to wrong herself, so she wanted to stay far away from him.
But now that Su Wenxing is here, even if his father is still very domineering, he will restrain himself a bit.
Qin Lian thought he could observe the situation slowly. If his father still had that annoying temper, he would bring Su Wenxing to live here with him.
They stayed in L City for two more days before returning to their hometown together.
This time, Qin Lian didn't stay in his hometown for too long. He came back mainly to see Su Wenxing off.
Summer vacation is so long, and he's not a student anymore, so he can't stay home all the time.
Qin Lian stayed at home for about half a month, and then returned to L City alone.
Seeing that Qin Lian had left again, the atmosphere at the Qin family became somewhat tense.
Mr. Qin said angrily, "If only they could get married sooner."
Qin's mother looked puzzled upon hearing this. "What's wrong? If we get married sooner, will he be willing to stay at home?"
"Yeah, if they get married sooner, Xiaoxing, who's so attached to her home, definitely won't want to leave. As for him, his wife is back in his hometown, how far can that brat go?"
It's a pity that Xiaoxing isn't old enough yet, otherwise they really wanted them to get married sooner.
Su Wenxing was quite unaccustomed at first, not used to Qin Lian not being by his side for such a long summer vacation.
But soon, he didn't have time to feel uncomfortable.
Because his mother took him to an orphanage, wanting him and Qin Lian to adopt a child.
To be honest, Su Wenxing had never really thought about adopting a child.
No, he hasn't even seriously thought about marriage yet.
Unexpectedly, his family not only helped him with his marriage, but also considered the issue of their old age in their old age since they had no children.
When Su Wenxing was taken to see the child, she was speechless and helpless.
"Mom, isn't this a bit too early?"
"It's not too early, not too early. Your marriage will indeed have to wait a few more years, but good children can't wait. If you miss this one, the next one might not be as good."
"But... I'm only twenty, so I can't adopt, can I?"
Su's mother said, "Your father and I are thinking that we should adopt the child first, raise the child for you, and then transfer the child to your name later."
"Oh, this won't do, will it? Is this supposed to be us adopting a child, or finding us a younger sibling?"
Su's mother said, "If we can't raise them for you, you can raise them as your younger siblings."
Su Wenxing still felt it was inappropriate, "Isn't this a bit unfair to other people's children?"
Mrs. Su: "Then tell me what is fair and what is unfair? We are providing him with a better life so that he can take care of you two in your old age. I don't think there is anything unfair about it."
If he doesn't enter the Su family's door, it's uncertain who will adopt him in the future.
Moreover, the children of wealthy families don't have to endure the same hardships as ordinary people when it comes to supporting their parents in old age.
The elderly from wealthy families often go to high-end nursing homes and have children, mainly because they worry that if they become senile, they will be mistreated by the nursing home staff.
He doesn't need to do any work, and he doesn't need to worry about anything.
Moreover, he received both families' assets, so what did he have to complain about?
In the end, Su Wenxing went to see the child, but did not let Su's mother actually take him back.
He still felt that his mother's idea was naive, and that Qin Lian should be informed about this matter, so that his family could not make the decision on their own.
So in the end, the child was not successfully adopted.
Summer vacation ended in the blink of an eye. After returning to L City, Su Wenxing told Qin Lian about it.
Qin Lian also felt that this was unreliable. If they really wanted to have a child, they should wait until they were over thirty-five.
People's personalities and thoughts can change. They may want children now, but they might not want them in the future.
Children are not a trivial matter; parents have a responsibility to care for them.
Therefore, Qin Lian's idea is to wait until they have a more mature understanding before making a decision.
At that year's Winter Games, Su Wenxing applied to participate in the sprint.
Qin Lian was taking this matter very seriously, and was very worried that his health might be compromised.
On the day of the sports meet, Qin Lian went to school early.
He has already graduated, so he shouldn't be coming to school.
However, he was a student at this school before, and he only graduated less than half a year ago.
The school gatekeeper recognized him and didn't stop him from entering.
Qin Lian watched from the audience with a worried expression, but fortunately, Su Wenxing's health had indeed recovered.
He ran the entire sprint without any problems.
Because Qin Lian was worried, she later took him to the hospital for a checkup.
Su Wenxing was in a better mood than ever before. When he and Qin Lian came out of the hospital, they chattered excitedly the whole time.
Su Wenxing: "Qin Lian, am I super awesome?"
Qin Lian: "Yeah, super impressive."
Su Wenxing: "So this is what it feels like to run?"
Such freedom, exhilaration, and ease...
