Shang Yanxing seemed to have lost hope.
Jiang Susu took the initiative to say, "I'll go talk to her. I'll tell her I like you and ask her to give me a chance so she won't force you to go on blind dates."
Shang Yanxing treated her very well, so it was only right that she helped him.
"Won't what you're saying cause you trouble? If Mom really misunderstands us and pressures us to have a baby, that wouldn't be good."
Jiang Susu shook her head and said, "It's okay, I don't care about these things. As long as I can help you with this, that's enough. We can figure out the rest later."
She couldn't bear to see Shang Yanxing being forced to go on blind dates, nor did she want to see him go on blind dates.
Shang Yanxing looked up, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes. "Then thank you, Madam."
"We agreed you didn't need to be so polite with me, so why do you always like to say thank you?"
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Madam." The girl he liked was always so kind.
"Then let me help you to rest. I'll take care of this. You just need to get some rest."
Jiang Susu helped Shang Yan walk to the bedside and then helped him lie down.
After covering Shang Yanxing with the blanket, Jiang Susu left the room.
Inside the living room, Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou sat with very serious expressions.
Jiang Susu mustered her courage and went downstairs, then walked up to Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou.
"Dad, Mom, I was also at fault in this matter. Please don't blame everything on Yanxing. And please don't be angry. He had no choice."
If Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou hadn't forced Shang Yanxing to get married, how could he have done such a thing?
Xie Wanjun didn't intend to blame Jiang Susu. "Susu, we don't blame you for this. I know you're a good girl, which is why you were willing to help that brat. We both like you very much and sincerely hope that you can become our Shang family's daughter-in-law, but that brat doesn't have the good fortune and doesn't know how to cherish you."
She was hoping to have a grandchild soon, but it turned out their marriage was a sham.
That brat is really something.
Jiang Susu observed Xie Wanjun's expression and, when Xie Wanjun wasn't too angry, tentatively asked, "Mom, if I said I'm willing to be the daughter-in-law of a merchant and the wife of a scholar, would you agree?"
Although she also felt that deceiving them again was not a good thing, for Shang Yanxing, it was the best outcome for him.
Xie Wanjun looked at Jiang Susu in astonishment, "Silly child, what are you talking about? Did that brat threaten you again?"
It was obvious that Xie Wanjun didn't believe Jiang Susu's words at all.
Jiang Susu shook her head. "Mom, no, he didn't threaten me. He's so badly injured now. I've applied medicine to him, and he's already asleep."
Hearing Jiang Susu say that Shang Yanxing was seriously injured, a hint of emotion appeared in her eyes.
"Is he badly injured?"
Jiang Susu nodded. "Yes, Mom. His back is swollen and bleeding. It breaks my heart to see him like this. Please don't blame him for this."
Looking at Shang Yanxing's wounds, she truly felt heartbroken.
Xie Wanjun turned her head away and said insincerely, "He deserves it. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll probably get too big for his britches."
Now they're lying to them, but who knows what they'll do in the future?
"Mom, you've already punished him, and he already knows he was wrong."
Xie Wanjun looked at Jiang Susu and felt sorry for her, always feeling that Shang Yanxing had wronged her.
"You silly child, it's clearly that brat who wronged you, why do you always plead for him?"
"Because I like him." Jiang Susu's eyes were very firm, and she didn't seem to be lying at all.
Xie Wanjun remained silent for a few seconds.
Jiang Susu continued, "I admit that at first I only agreed to help him because he saved me. But through spending time with him, I've fallen for him. He's always considerate of me, very kind and gentle, and he always appears when I need him. When I'm in danger, he's the first person to rush out and protect me."
“I originally thought we were just friends, but when you found out about us, I was terrified. I was afraid we would really break up. Later I realized that I had fallen in love with him. So, Mom, can you give me a chance to love him properly this once?”
Jiang Susu spoke very seriously, and she didn't seem to be lying at all.
She now even feels that Jiang Susu has really fallen for that brat.
Seeing that Xie Wanjun remained silent, Jiang Susu continued, "Mom, please trust me this once. I'm serious, and I really like Yanxing. I know your biggest worry is his marriage. And arranging blind dates for him is for his own good. But right now, could we please stop him from going on blind dates for the time being? We want to give it a try."
After hearing Jiang Susu's words, Xie Wanjun believed her. "Susu, do you really like that brat? How could that brat be so lucky? How could he possibly make you like him?"
She felt that Shang Yanxing was incredibly lucky, having accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune.
Jiang Susu nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I like him, I like him a lot, I like him a lot. Yanxing is very good, very good. So many girls in the capital like him, I should be lucky to be with him."
Shang Yanxing is indeed very outstanding, but he simply chooses not to like him.
A boy as outstanding as him must be liked by many girls.
Xie Wanjun seemed undecided. She turned to look at Shang Mengzhou and said, "Should we give that brat a chance? I'm afraid he won't cherish Su Su and will let her down."
But she couldn't bear to separate the two of them like that, because she still thought highly of Jiang Susu and sincerely hoped that Jiang Susu could become the merchant's daughter-in-law.
Shang Mengzhou sighed and slowly said, "Let's give them a chance. We can't break them up just because they made a mistake."
If the two are truly in love, then what they are doing is definitely inappropriate.
Xie Wanjun turned around, looked at Jiang Susu's expectant expression, and said, "Then you two should try to get along. If that brat really dares to treat you badly, just tell Mom, and Mom will definitely stand up for you."
Hearing Xie Wanjun agree, Jiang Susu smiled happily, "Dad, Mom, do you really agree?"
She could hardly believe it was real.
