Chapter 14: The Fake Daughter of a Prominent Family
Ye Jiuzhou poured a cup of tea for Su Zhengming and said helplessly:
"I don't want Ranran to be a doctor either, but this is the result of her giving in. She originally wanted to be a battlefield doctor."
Su Zhengming firmly objected: "Absolutely not!"
"I don't agree either. That's too dangerous. I would never want to put Ranran in such a dangerous environment."
Ye Jiuzhou couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"But I just said that she couldn't leave Sucheng, and Ranran was so angry that she wanted to cancel the engagement with me... Don't worry about Uncle Su and Aunt Wu laughing at you, this sentence really scared me. I can't stand Ranran wanting to leave me."
The others couldn't help but look at Ye Jiuzhou, who had a bitter and determined look on his face:
"I have no choice but to agree to let her go to the Western Hospital in Sucheng. At least I can guarantee her safety."
Su Zhengming was holding his tea and pondering, when Su Yu suddenly said:
"Dad, Ranran is very persistent about this matter. If we all oppose it, she might really run away from home. If she really runs to the battlefield, can you rest assured? It is better to promise her first, say hello to the hospital, and try to take care of her. And..."
He looked at Wu Shuxian, who looked disapproving:
"Ranran has always been spoiled. Even though she has been abroad for a few years, Chuntao has always been by her side. She has basically never suffered any hardship. It is normal for her to have idealistic ideas. Let her go out and try. Maybe when she gets tired and suffers, she will realize how difficult it is and she will not want to do it without anyone's persuasion."
Wu Shuxian was reluctant:
"You can only know that after you have suffered. You, as a big brother, are so cruel, but I am not."
Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Has he become a cruel elder brother?
He just said this to persuade Wu Shuxian. He knew Ranran's temper. When he asked about her major yesterday, she didn't tell him. It was obvious that she was determined to do it secretly.
Instead of that, it would be better to keep it under our noses, just like Ye Jiuzhou said, at least her safety can be guaranteed.
Nowadays, Western medicine hospitals are still a new thing. Ordinary people can't afford to go to them. Most of them go to the pharmacy to get medicine and boil it themselves. How many people in the whole city of Su can afford to go to the pharmacy?
If the hospital makes special arrangements, it won't be busy at all and you may just sit in the office all day long.
Ranran has a job and feels that she is doing something meaningful. Outsiders would also praise her for her ability and capability. It is respectable, not tiring, and not dangerous, so why not agree?
Su Yu sat next to Wu Shuxian and analyzed all this with her in detail, and finally asked her:
"What do you think?"
Wu Shuxian also thought it made sense. The main thing was that if the child insisted, parents would generally not be able to persuade him. Could they really lock her up and not let her go out?
You won’t be blamed in the future!
Su Zhengming put down the teacup and made the decision:
"That's it. I'll go say hello to the people at the hospital and I'm sure Ranran won't get involved."
The next day, when Su Youran went downstairs for breakfast, she heard the news. She jumped up from her seat with joy, ran behind Su Zhengming and hugged his neck:
"Dad, Dad! You are so nice! You are the best dad in the world!"
Su Zhengming patted her with amusement: "If I don't agree, will I be the worst father?"
Su Youran chuckled, “How could that be? Dad is always the best dad.”
Wu Shuxian was upset: "Dad is good, but mom is not?"
Su Youran put one arm around Su Zhengming and the other around Wu Shuxian's shoulders, and leaned head to head with her.
"My mother is the best, too. She is the most beautiful, elegant, and best mother in the world. Oh, I am so lucky to have the best parents in the world."
Wu Shuxian's face and eyes were full of smiles, and she even complained, "You have the sweetest mouth!"
Su Yu sighed at the side:
"It seems that I, the eldest brother, have the lowest status. I put a lot of effort into your matter yesterday, but now Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't even look at me."
Su Youran made a face at him and said, “If you don’t bully me again, I will reluctantly say something nice about you.”
"How dare I bully you?" Su Yu cried out, "You are the one who bullies me, okay?"
Su Youran wrinkled her nose and ignored him. She looked around but didn’t see Su Lu.
"Where's my second brother? Did he not come back last night, or did he leave without having breakfast this morning? Is he so busy?"
Uncle Lin smiled and said:
"The Second Young Master had someone come back yesterday to pack his luggage, saying that he would be going out with the Second Master for a few days, and he specifically told him to remember to bring a gift for Miss Youran."
Su Youran curled her lips:
"My second brother is really a busy man now. I only spoke to him a few words two days after I came back."
Su Yu's sabotage:
"You're busy too. I'm at home, but did you pay attention to me? You were with Ye Jiuzhou almost the whole day yesterday. You really forget the old one when you find the new one!"
His tone was sour, and everyone laughed.
Su Youran's pretty face turned red. She picked up a piece of dessert on the table and threw it at Su Yu:
"Brother! You are so annoying. You are the most hateful brother in the world!"
Su Yu took the snack that was thrown at him and threw it into his mouth. He ate it with relish while commenting:
"Mm, sweet but not greasy, fragrant and soft in the right amount, really delicious."
Su Youran was so angry that she threw another one at him: “It’s so delicious, I’ll give you another one!”
For a moment, the dining table was unusually lively. Su Zhengming couldn't stop laughing. He felt that since You Ran came back, not only had the atmosphere at home become much more cheerful, but his mood had also been very good.
Wu Shuxian was also feeling relaxed physically and mentally, but she still advised:
"Okay, let's eat. What are you doing with all the fighting? Ah Yu, stop teasing your sister. Eat quickly. Don't you have to go to work?"
The brother and sister finally stopped arguing. After Su Zhengming finished laughing, he instructed Su Youran:
"I did agree to it, but it has to wait until after the party at home. I'm going to send out the invitation in the next two days. Last time I asked you if you wanted to invite anyone, have you decided?"
Su Youran thought about it and shook her head:
"I don't have anyone in particular to invite. I've been abroad for a few years, so I probably don't recognize some people anymore. Besides, I only know a few people, so Dad will definitely invite them. It's up to you."
She suddenly seemed to remember something and said:
"I saw the second young master of the Huo family on the street yesterday. Dad, do you want to invite them?"
Everyone at the table couldn't help but look at Su Youran. Su Zhengming frowned slightly and asked:
"Second Master Huo?"
Su Youran didn’t seem to understand why everyone was paying so much attention to such a simple sentence. She tilted her head in confusion:
"What's wrong? I heard Ye Jiuzhou call him Second Young Master Huo, but I've never seen him before, so I don't know if it's true. The two don't seem to have a good relationship."
Wu Shuxian said to her, "If Jiuzhou said it was him, then it must be him. How could he have mistaken someone for someone else?"
Su Youran drank a mouthful of porridge:
"That's not necessarily true. People look alike. I think the second young master Huo looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere. But I've definitely never met any of the Huo family."
Su Yu seemed to agree with this:
"I think the Ah Da you brought back looks familiar to me."
Su Youran couldn't help but laugh: "Is it because they all look too ordinary?"
Su Zhengming's frown did not relax, but tightened instead, and he instructed Su Yu:
"We should investigate that Ah Da carefully. I feel uneasy if I don't know his background. Now you say he looks familiar. Is he originally from Sucheng? It's better to investigate."
Su Youran shouted in dissatisfaction, “Dad! Ah Da is a good man!”
Su Zhengming looked at his daughter helplessly: "Everyone you see is a good person."
Su Youran muttered, “That’s how it is.”
Su Yu agreed with Su Zhengming's words, and he also felt that he still had to investigate. He had only met that Ah Da once, but he always felt that the face was very kind, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Su Yu knew that Su Youran had a kind heart and didn't want to think the worst of her, so he consoled her:
"Ada has no memories, doesn't he wonder if he still has family? If he does, then he has no memories, but his family must be waiting for him to return. I found out that this is also to help their family reunite, don't you think?"
Su Youran stopped talking. Of course it would be great if she could help Ah Da find his family. But she still emphasized:
"If Ah Da has no family, or his family is not good, and he doesn't want to go back, then I will still keep him at home."
Su Yu promised readily that if there was no problem with Ah Da, then Ran Ran could keep him if she wanted to. The Su family didn't mind supporting one more person.
Wu Shuxian worriedly told Su Youran:
"Whether there is a problem or not, you should keep some distance from that person. After all, you are a grown man."
Be careful not to let people gossip about you or make Jiuzhou take it to heart.
Su Youran quickly finished her breakfast and said perfunctorily:
"Okay, okay. I'm done eating. I'll go ask Ah Da if he remembered anything."
Wu Shuxian looked at her running away and sighed, "How can you say that wind means rain?"
Aunt Wei smiled and said, "Ms. Youran has a pure heart."
He wants to be a doctor, cure diseases and save lives, and he is willing to take in even an unrelated stranger for several years. What else can he do but have a pure heart?
Of course, all of this is based on the fact that she has the conditions and ability to help others.
Aunt Wei sighed in her heart, it was because of her good family background.
She looked at her well-maintained hands. She once had an ideal, to paint the magnificent mountains and rivers of this country with her own brush...
But all this was buried when the family fell into poverty.
Aunt Wei was a little absent-minded. How long had it been since she picked up a paintbrush? Now she was not in the mood to paint.
Su Youran asked around and found out that A-Da was in the stable. She ran over to see A-Da busy tending to the horses and called out,
"Ada!"
When Ah Da heard this familiar voice that often appeared in his dreams, the brush in his hand fell.
He quickly turned around, looked at his surroundings, and then looked at the water stains on his hands, feeling somewhat at a loss:
"Miss... why are you here?"
Su Youran went over to pull him:
"Who ordered you to do this? Who acted on your own initiative? Ah Da, you are the guest I brought back, you don't need to do this!"
