After shaking off Zhou Yuanqing, Su Yan went to Tang Li's office to find Jiang Jingxing.
Upon seeing her arrive, the two immediately stopped talking.
She couldn't help but say, "Every time I appear, you two fall silent. Are you talking about some important national affairs?"
Tang Li smiled and said, "It's not about national affairs, it's just about the thousand-year-old ginseng. The people in the capital are already urging us to send it over. I haven't told them I found it yet, and I plan to have the two of you take it over."
"But isn't that important person you're talking about waiting to be saved? What will you do if there's a delay?" she asked, puzzled.
“Before I came to Lanzhou, I took another doctor to see him. Actually, his condition wasn’t as bad as the rumors suggested. I suspect there’s a mole among the doctors, and I’ve already sent people to investigate,” Jiang Jingxing explained.
Su Yan frowned. If her framing of a powerful figure was discovered, she would only face death. Her enemies were far too audacious.
However, the security at this time was not as strict and comprehensive as in later times, and it only took a little effort to place people.
"Then they must be after the ginseng," she said slowly. "A thousand-year-old ginseng has powerful effects; it can really save lives. In a place like the capital, it could sell for six figures."
"You've never been to Beijing, let alone know anything about the situation there, yet you act like you know it all too well," Tang Li chuckled.
Su Yan blinked, lying without changing her expression: "How can you know if you haven't been there? Although I'm a country bumpkin who's never seen the world, a big city like the capital of the country can't be that bad. Maybe all the rich people are hiding there. After all, who doesn't yearn for Beijing? Brother Jiang, don't you think so?"
Her cunning look was like that of a mischievous kitten. Jiang Jingxing smiled slightly and echoed, "Yes, are you going to Beijing too?"
Su Yan paused, thought about it carefully before answering, "I haven't decided where I want to settle down yet, but I will buy a house in Beijing. If I have the money, it would be best to buy houses all over the country, so that I won't have to stay in hotels when I do business in the future."
Tang Li gasped upon hearing this, "You're young, but you've got quite the ambition. You dare to say something like that."
“Everyone needs an ultimate goal to strive forward.” Su Yan felt it was nothing. “I can’t stay idle. I feel insecure when I’m idle. It seems I can only live a busy life.”
After saying that, she asked Jiang Jingxing, "How about we go to Beijing tomorrow? I feel fine now, and my foot is okay..."
“No way!” Jiang Jingxing refused sternly: “Your foot is in a nail, how can it heal so quickly? If you want to go quickly, don’t run around these next few days.”
Su Yan: "..."
She didn't feel any pain; it just looked terrifying.
However, for the sake of her health, she silently chose to obey.
Watching how the two of them interact is so pleasing to the eye; they seem like...brother and sister.
Tang Li raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards Jiang Jingxing carrying a meaningful meaning.
This kid is very sparing with words when he's with himself, but in front of Su Yan he's like a worried old mother, completely unlike his former self.
When Su Yan and Jiang Jingxing returned home, an uninvited guest arrived.
Su Changcheng acted as if he were at home, lying comfortably on the sofa and shaking his legs without even taking off his shoes.
Grandma Li and Grandpa Li were holding Tiger to one side, their faces extremely grim.
"Who let you in? Get out!" Su Yan said coldly.
Upon hearing the sound, Su Changcheng reflexively sat up. Seeing Su Yan, he immediately put on an exaggerated expression, squeezed out tears, and sincerely said, "Ah Yan, Dad misses you and Xiao Lei so much. Dad knows he was wrong. Dad will listen to you from now on and treat you and the three of you well, okay?"
In Su Yan's eyes, his behavior was utterly hypocritical!
She couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said sarcastically, "Su Changcheng, you should go back and learn from your father with your terrible acting skills. Come back to my place to perform after you've learned them, and I'll give you free feedback. Now, please get out of my house, or I'll call the police."
Hearing this, Su Changcheng felt a tightness in his chest and almost lost his composure, but he still continued, "Yan, I know you hate me now, but you have to give me a chance to make amends. I really know I was wrong. Xiao Lei is still so young and needs his father's love."
"I'll ask him when he gets home from school," Su Yan said nonchalantly. "If Xiao Lei wants it, I can just find a man ten times better than you to pamper him, right? You're not wrong, my mother is still so young, and if she takes good care of herself, she'll be a beauty. She's rich and beautiful, and I don't know how many outstanding men will flock to her and Xiao Lei to be our stepfather. You're so useless. If you really care about us, just get lost and go far away from us. I'll thank you then!"
Su Changcheng: "..."
Others: "..."
Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!
Grandma and Grandpa Li were initially quite angry, but now they're laughing so hard they're practically dying!
Jiang Jingxing was holding it in a little, worried that he might burst out laughing.
At this moment, Su Changcheng's expression changed drastically, like a dye shop in operation.
But he endured it for the sake of his university acceptance letter!
His words were squeezed out through clenched teeth, “Ayan, I know you’re just saying these things in anger. It’s okay if you don’t forgive me. I’ll behave well and wait until you and your mother forgive me. It’s getting late. I need to cook and take it to your mother now. I’ve rented a place near the hospital and will take care of your mother every day. You can stay at home.”
Without waiting for Su Yan's reply, he put on his shoes and ran off, turning back every few steps as if waiting for her to stop him.
Grandpa Li was completely bewildered. "When did he become so kind?"
Su Changcheng and Juanzi have been married for decades, and he has visited his father-in-law no more than five times. Every time he comes, he acts like an emperor.
Su Yan curled her lips and said in a voice that Su Changcheng could hear, "Since he loves to pretend so much, let him pretend to his heart's content and see how long he can keep it up."
really.
Upon hearing her words, Su Changcheng did not turn back and hurried away from there.
Grandma Li scolded, "The weasel is offering New Year's greetings to the chicken—he's up to no good! Ah Yan, you must tell your mother, lest she make a fool of herself and be deceived by Su Changcheng again!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan said, "Grandma, my mother is completely disappointed in Su Changcheng. She will never jump back into that fire pit, so please don't worry."
"I hope so." Grandma Li thought for a moment, then suddenly grabbed her hand. "Do you think it was arranged by that old hag from the Su family? They're still eyeing your college acceptance letter."
"Besides the admission notice, they also still remember the recipe for braised food."
"Those wicked bastards! They're not even human! You must hide these two things well, and make sure they don't get their hands on them!" Granny Li instructed.
Now that the Su family has come out, they will definitely be more cautious in their actions and won't be as easily fooled as they were the first time.
Su Yan patted her hand, "I know what I'm doing."
