Chapter 390 Don't even think about it
"Su Min'an, are you insane?!"
Xu Ying was stunned, her mind went blank for a moment and she couldn't think straight. When she came to her senses, she was so angry at Su Lao Er that she almost died. "How old am I? How old are you? I'm like a sister to your mother. You want to marry me?! That's utterly absurd!"
"...I've calculated it. You're thirteen years younger than my mother, and I'm six years younger than you. My grandmother said that a woman three years older than her husband is like holding a gold brick. If we're together, we'll hold two bricks, one for you and one for me," Su Lao Er said righteously.
Xu Ying, "..."
She glared at the microphone speechlessly, then laughed at herself in exasperation, and asked Su Lao Er, "Is it my family that's lacking those two gold bricks, or your family?"
"My family is missing it."
Su Lao Er quickly said, "My family doesn't have anyone with influence like the top leader, which is why we were schemed against by petty people like Lin Jiefang and trampled on without restraint by villains like Zheng Huaixin."
Xu Ying remained silent for a moment, then calmed down.
Su Lao Er continued, "...I just had a medical check-up in the army before my visit home, and I have no physical defects. I'm strong and healthy, so the child I give birth to will definitely be healthy. Secondly, I hate the surname Su, and I wholeheartedly support the child taking your surname. If your family feels that I'm a threat, they can leave the child after the birth..."
Xu Ying, "..."
She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
She was right; the thing this kid did today was a test of her!
"Su Min'an, did you ask your mother before making this call?"
"No."
Su Lao Er said, "If you're willing, I'll hang up the phone and go to my mom to confess and beg her to agree."
Xu Ying was speechless and wanted to slam the phone down, but the anger she had just suppressed suddenly surged up again.
He shouted, "What are you talking about? What's my relationship with your mother? Your grandfather and your mother are, in a strict sense, my saviors. Based on that alone, as long as your family members don't commit capital crimes like murder, arson, or other illegal acts, I can do everything I can to protect them. Why would I need you to climb over me to get ahead?! Su Min'an, I'm pretending this call never happened. I'm hanging up."
"Xu Ying".
Su Lao Er called out to her, "I'm serious."
"Hehe, I'm serious. To be honest, you should call me Aunt Xu!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a 'snap'.
Her mind was still a mess after hanging up the phone. She angrily slammed her hand on the small table where she had put the phone, "What the hell was that?! It was just...it was just..."
She couldn't find the right words to describe her feelings at that moment. Xu Ying clenched her little fists angrily and wanted to go back to the house. When she looked up, she met her mother's probing gaze.
Thinking about the contents of the phone call just now, Xu Ying felt a little guilty for no reason, "...Mom."
Xu's mother glanced at her, then looked at the phone and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Who called?"
"...No, no one. I'm meeting up with my girlfriends for afternoon tea. Mom, I'm going back to my room to change before heading to my appointment." Xu Ying forced a smile, quickly walked past her mother, and went back to her room.
Seeing that she seemed to be trying to escape, Xu's mother opened her mouth as if to say something, but then held back and only sighed softly.
Xu Ying fled back to the house and found that her palms were sweaty.
Although she didn't take Su Lao Er's words seriously, she really couldn't stand her mother's gaze.
She does want a child, that's true, but the thought of doing that kind of thing with someone she has no emotional connection with is something she just can't get over.
She was afraid that if she encountered another Zheng Huaixin, she would be used and betrayed again.
Just thinking about it makes her unable to stand it!
That Su Lao Er is really audacious! What's his relationship with his mother? How dare he do that?!
Xu Ying had originally planned to take some people to Li Banxia's place for tea this afternoon, but now...
Now she should go if she feels it's time. Su Lao Er is Su Lao Er, and Li Banxia is Li Banxia. She has a relationship with Li Banxia, but not with Su Lao Er...
She was muttering to herself when she remembered how Su Lao Er had appeared out of nowhere on New Year's Eve to save her and Le Bao'er.
To be honest, that kid actually looked pretty good back then.
But one thing is one thing, and another is another. She would never touch her sister's son. If she did, what kind of person would she be?!
Xu Ying pondered it over and over, and was so angry that she wished she had never received that call from Su Lao Er.
"……asshole!"
In the afternoon, I went to Li Banxia's health center, greeted her, and she prepared their favorite tea and snacks. I sat with her for a while, chatted for a bit, and then left with a smile.
Xu Ying looked around and, not seeing Su Lao Er, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a knock on the door.
He looked up and his gaze met that of Su Lao Er.
"Aunt Xu is here. My mom asked me to bring over a plate of melon seeds, the new orange flavor. You can try them..."
Xu Ying almost choked on her breath.
The girls were stunned for a moment, then they all laughed.
He spat at Xu Ying, "You got what you deserved, acting like a sister to someone else's mother!"
The man who made fun of her said, "Xu Ying, let's see if you'll still let Le Bao and his sister call you 'Grandma'..."
Xu Ying, "..."
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Xu Ying glared at them, stood up, and called to Su Lao Er, "Come out with me. I'm going to go and settle accounts with your mother. Let's see if I deserve to be called 'Auntie'."
With her back to her girlfriends, she glared at Su Lao Er.
Su Lao Er shrugged and followed her out of the room.
When the two reached the corner of the stairs, Xu Ying warned him, "Don't talk nonsense outside."
"Don't worry, I won't reveal a single word before I get your permission." Su Lao Er nodded obediently.
Xu Ying was taken aback by how obedient he was.
Thinking about his actions just now, she frowned again, "Su Min'an, do you know that what you're doing will make it impossible for your mother and me to get along like before?"
Su Lao Er paused for a moment.
He said, "I won't force you if you don't agree. I'm taking the train early tomorrow morning and will be back in about six months. If you haven't found a suitable partner by then, could you consider me?"
"There's no possibility between the two of us."
Xu Ying's attitude was very firm: "I will never consider you, and I will never find a random partner within six months because of your words. To me, you are just someone I saved together, and you happen to be the son of my savior. That's all. Do you understand?"
Su Lao Er looked at her silently.
Xu Ying pursed her lips and met his gaze.
After a long pause, Su Lao Er nodded, "...I understand."
Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
He nodded. "That's good. You can go now. I'll go back to my room..."
She started walking towards the room when Su Lao Er suddenly said behind her, "Xu Ying, you said you would try your best to protect my mother and the others if they were framed again, and I believe you would. But people naturally seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. What if our family encountered a high-ranking official like the top leader? Would you be willing, and would your parents be willing? Would the forces you rely on be willing? Nothing is absolute, is it?"
Xu Ying paused in her tracks.
