Chapter 74 What does it mean to separate first?
Liu Nian's hand was still on Su Feng's back, and he could feel her trembling slightly.
But she kept smiling, looked at Wu Qi, straightened her back and said, "Wu Qi, no matter what, we will be together. You said it, and I believe you."
“But—” Zhang Sufeng turned to Wu Hui and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Sister, you are right. Now is the time to establish a career, not only for Wu Qi, but also for me.”
“So, let’s put aside what happened between Wu Qi and me for now. Let’s take a step back and separate.” Zhang Sufeng’s hands clenched tightly under the table, her eyes fixed on Wu Qi. “Is that alright, Wu Qi?”
"No!" Wu Qi suddenly stood up. "Retreat? How do we retreat? How do we divide the spoils?"
“We’ve come this far, there’s no going back! I don’t want to break up!” Wu Qi eagerly tried to hold Zhang Sufeng’s hand, but Zhang Sufeng gently smiled and dodged away.
She kept smiling, as if she didn't care, but Liu Nian knew how sad she was.
She understood the Wu family's attitude. She didn't want herself and her parents to be looked down upon, and she knew what she should do in the future.
That means working hard, striving upwards, and becoming someone worthy of Wu Qi.
Wu Hui's expression froze as she stared intently at Zhang Sufeng. It was quite surprising that she could say such a thing.
"Let the children handle their own affairs," Wu Hui suddenly smiled, easing the somewhat awkward atmosphere. She pulled Wu Qi aside and whispered, "Sit down first, what kind of talk is this?"
Liu Nian shook Zhang Sufeng's hand, took a deep breath, and bent down to sit down.
Seeing Su Feng sit down, Wu Qi blankly followed suit and sat back down in his seat.
They couldn't eat anymore after that; they only took a couple of symbolic bites before putting down their chopsticks.
As soon as he finished clearing the table, Wu Qi hurriedly pulled Zhang Sufeng out the door.
Zhang Suzhen hurriedly took a few steps forward, then immediately stopped and shook her head, "What would I be doing following along?"
"Go and chat with his sister." Liu Nian pointed at Wu Hui, who was holding a cup and slowly drinking tea, her eyes looking around, clearly not having anything to say to Zhang Ma who was sitting next to her.
“If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have bothered to introduce Wu Qi to Su Feng.” Zhang Suzhen sighed, wiped her hands on her apron, and glanced at Wu Hui. “What can I say to her? She’s too high and mighty for me.”
Not long after, Zhang Sufeng and Wu Qi returned. They entered the house one after the other. Zhang Sufeng kept her head down and didn't say anything, while Wu Qi's eyes were red.
Wu Hui stood up, put down her teacup, and seeing that it was time, pulled Wu Qi to leave.
When Zhang Sufeng was dropping off the Wu siblings, she stood at the back, peering through the gaps in the crowd to look at Wu Qi. Wu Qi opened the car door, his eyes eagerly searching for those eyes.
Their eyes met, Wu Qi's gaze flickered, he gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted, "Su Feng! Don't forget! I'm waiting for you!"
Liu Nian turned around and saw Su Feng nodding heavily with tears in her eyes.
It's not that Su Feng wants to wait for Wu Qi to establish his career before starting a family, but rather that Wu Qi should wait for Su Feng, in which case the initiative will be in Su Feng's hands.
Liu Nian raised an eyebrow, suddenly having a premonition that the Wu family would definitely shoot themselves in the foot.
After seeing off the Wu siblings, the Zhang family looked worried and distressed.
Mr. Zhang kept his head down and didn't say a word, just kept smoking, while Mrs. Zhang sighed repeatedly.
"Su Feng, you only have a high school diploma, right?" Liu Nian suddenly asked.
Su Feng looked up, nodded blankly, and said, "Yes."
Although Su Feng has a high level of education, she is very self-conscious about her figure and appearance. Her family protects her and has never allowed her to work.
Liu Nian nodded and said, "Do you want to prepare for the college entrance exam?"
"Huh?" The group was taken aback. "Taking the college entrance exam?"
Zhang Suzhen shifted her position and looked at Liu Nian, "Wasn't the college entrance examination canceled?"
“A friend of mine told me that the college entrance examination will be reinstated this winter,” Liu Nian said. “Su Feng should start preparing; we should hear from him in a few months.”
The group had no doubts about Liu Nian's words, after all, Liu Nian knew even someone like Chief Wu, so the information must be accurate.
