Su Xiangyang blurted out what was on his mind, his eyes fixed on Deng Jiaqi.
Upon hearing this, Deng Jiaqi felt a little relieved, feeling both happy and disappointed.
However, she also knew in her heart that Su Xiangyang had not lied to her, nor had he deliberately concealed anything out of greed for wealth.
At least their relationship has taken a step forward.
"Okay, I'll give you time. If you still don't like me after a year..."
Before Deng Jiaqi could finish speaking, Su Xiangyang's expression suddenly changed drastically. He grabbed Deng Jiaqi's shoulder, fell onto the bed, and covered his head with the blanket.
Deng Jiaqi was completely bewildered by this sudden action. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she heard Su Xiangyang explain in a low voice:
"There are two children's heads hanging from your window. I saw it clearly. They are your twin nephews. They are peeking on purpose!"
Upon hearing this, Deng Jiaqi couldn't help but chuckle. She nestled in Su Xiangyang's arms and whispered, "Okay, let's wait a bit then."
The next day, Su Xiangyang was summoned to the study by Deng's father.
With a smile on his face, Deng's father asked him what his plans were for the future.
Su Xiangyang didn't mince words and bluntly said, "Make money, make lots and lots of money."
"Good, that's ambitious, just like I was back in the day. I like people who make money. Here's what I'll do: I can invest 100,000 yuan in you, but..."
Deng's father changed the subject, a sly glint in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangyang's eyes lit up instantly. Regardless of what the "however" meant, he was determined to agree.
This 100,000 yuan can be used to help Su Xiangnan in case of emergency.
Su Xiangnan is so smart, it would be a piece of cake for him to lead me to make money.
By the time of the Chinese New Year, Su Xiangnan was already driving a car!
“If you can’t pay back this 100,000 yuan a year from now, there’s an unwritten rule in the Deng family. But I believe you can do it.” After saying that, Father Deng patted Su Xiangyang on the shoulder.
Although Su Xiangyang didn't understand what the rules were, he felt a heavy weight in his hands once he received the money.
The two set off back to Guangzhou the next day.
As soon as I got back to the hotel, I saw Zhou Xianye waiting for me there.
Zhou Xianye told them everything, and that very night, they bought tickets for the last train and hurriedly embarked on their journey.
Zhou Xianye, Su Xiangyang, Deng Jiaqi and their group had just boarded the green train and left the station.
Shortly after, Gu Ling arrived at the train station in a hurry.
At this moment, she was wearing a large hat with the brim pulled down very low, almost covering most of her face.
The fierce conflict with the elderly couple a few days ago had caused her a lot of suffering. Her once delicate face was covered in scratches and bloody marks, but she still looked ferocious and terrifying.
Not only that, but all her belongings were also lost in the chaos – her watch, wallet, and jewelry were all gone.
She wanted to call the police to retrieve her lost items, but the elderly men and women were crying and making a scene at the police station, insisting that they were innocent and even cooperating with the body search. Naturally, she found nothing.
Gu Ling was filled with resentment and had nowhere to vent it, so she had no choice but to call the Gu family for help, but no one answered the phone and there was only a busy signal.
Finally, it was her bodyguard who took out his meager savings to buy her a train ticket back to Beijing, which allowed her to embark on her journey home.
“Miss, we’ve heard that Su Xiangnan has a father who is currently detained in a detention center. Do you think we should try to get him out? After all, he’s family, and he might come in handy in the future.”
A bodyguard cautiously approached Gu Ling and whispered, his eyes filled with a hint of flattery.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ling's already gloomy face instantly turned even more unpleasant.
She turned her head sharply, her eyes wide with anger, and without saying a word, she kicked the bodyguard hard in the stomach.
"Why didn't you tell me this sooner? You made me go through all this trouble and ended up looking like this!"
She roared at the top of her lungs, her voice sharp and piercing, still clearly audible in the noisy environment of the train station.
The surrounding passengers cast strange glances at her, but Gu Ling was filled with anger and didn't care about other people's opinions.
“It’s not easy to get someone out of the police station, but don’t worry, miss, I’ll find a way right now and bring her back to Beijing.”
The bodyguard clutched his stomach, wincing in pain, but still forced himself to respond and hurriedly left to retrieve Su Dahai.
Inside the dark and damp detention center, Su Dahai sat listlessly in his cramped cell.
Since Su Xiangnan started sending his monthly allowance on time, his life has become much more comfortable than before.
With hot meals every day and no longer having to struggle for a living under the sun and wind, he even secretly thought that the detention center was a good place to retire. He couldn't help but feel proud, thinking that he had raised a promising son.
"Su Dahai, you can leave now." Suddenly, a loud shout broke the silence in the cell.
The prison guard strode to the cell door, knocked loudly, and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Su Dahai was first stunned, then his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He subconsciously assumed that Su Xiangnan must have used his own abilities to get him out ahead of time.
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself, "My son is so filial. My daughters are all heartless. They've never come to see me even once."
Su Dahai walked out of the detention center with great joy, expecting to see Su Xiangnan's familiar figure, but when he looked around, he only saw a black car quietly parked on the side of the road.
The car body was gleaming, reflecting a cold light under the sunlight, clearly indicating its high value.
At this moment, the car door slowly opened, and a bodyguard in a sharp suit stepped out of the car and walked steadily towards Su Dahai.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Su Dahai, Su Xiangnan's father?" the bodyguard asked.
Su Dahai looked at the impressively dressed bodyguard in front of him, and then at the luxury car, and couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Without a second thought, he concluded that Su Xiangnan must have become successful and specially sent a car to pick him up to enjoy his newfound happiness.
"I am Su Xiangnan's father, Su Dahai. Su Xiangnan sent you to pick me up, right? Quickly, take me to see my son." As he spoke, he couldn't wait to step into the car.
Seeing this, the bodyguard raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. Then, without making a sound, he opened the car door, gestured for Su Dahai to get in.
Perfect timing! The old man got on the bus voluntarily, saving us the trouble of doing anything. Judging from his eager appearance, he's only thinking about enjoying the riches, so how could he possibly run away?
