Chapter 8: The Fake Daughter of a Prominent Family
Ye Jiuzhou looked at the dazed Su Youran seriously:
"I know Miss Su doesn't like this engagement. After all, we haven't met before. You don't know what kind of person I am. It's normal for you to be dissatisfied. I just want to ask Miss Su to give us a chance to get along. If after getting along, Miss Su still wants to cancel the engagement, I will respect Miss Su's decision."
No way!
He would never agree to cancel the engagement.
What An Su Youran said now was just what she wanted, and she also wanted her to stop looking at him with resistance.
Everyone looked at Su Youran. Ye Jiuzhou's attitude could be said to be very sincere.
Wu Shuxian patted her and said, "Speak up. You don't want to marry someone you don't like. Now he has taken the initiative to say that we don't need to talk about marriage yet, but just want the two of us to try to get along. Isn't that okay? For someone of his status to be so serious, it means he cares about you very much."
Su Youran's eyes flickered, and she turned her face away, not looking at anyone else:
"It was agreed before the horse race that the winner could ask the loser to agree to something. Even if you won just now, you can certainly make this request."
There was a hint of smile in Ye Jiuzhou's eyes, but he was still a hypocritical and proud little girl.
Su Zhengming glanced at Su Youran helplessly and said to Ye Jiuzhou, “You guys must be tired now. Go back to the house. We can have dinner soon.”
Ye Jiuzhou nodded but did not move. He just looked at Su Youran.
Su Youran felt embarrassed by being stared at, so she shook her sleeves and walked forward first. The others followed.
After they returned to the main building, Su Youran went upstairs again: “I’ll come back later.”
She needs to wash up and change her clothes.
Wu Shuxian shouted from behind: "Slow down, be careful not to fall."
She was responded with an "OK" and the sound of a door opening and closing.
Su Youran returned to her room and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Today's experience was extremely dangerous.
She stood by the window, hidden behind the curtains. Her room had a balcony that looked out onto the lawn behind.
I saw several servants carrying Zhuifeng to the stable. Ah Da stood there, looking in the direction of the main building, not knowing what he was thinking, and then he also went to the stable.
Su Youran raised her palm, and inside was a small piece of glass. She had prepared two such pieces today.
I think the other piece will be taken out from Zhuifeng's horse's leg soon.
At that time, everyone can only conclude that the servants who were cleaning the lawn were careless and did not notice that there were fragments falling on the ground.
After all, today's horse racing was just Su Youran's sudden idea. There was no deliberate murder in advance. This was just a simple accident.
However, this "accident" brought Su Youran a lot of benefits.
The engagement certainly couldn't be cancelled, but she couldn't bring it up on her own initiative. On the contrary, she had to act extremely unhappy.
Look, isn’t Ye Jiuzhou the one who is trying not to cancel the engagement?
Of course, this also gave Su Youran a reason to change her attitude towards Ye Jiuzhou. After all, he was her lifesaver.
It's normal for a beauty to feel a little moved when a hero saves her.
Su Youran smiled slightly and prepared to step out from behind the curtain. If she stayed there for too long, Wu Shuxian would probably come to call her soon.
Suddenly she paused and looked to one side of the lawn. A young girl was supporting a woman and walking slowly. Judging from the direction they were heading, it should be the small building at the back where the servants lived.
The woman seemed to have some difficulty walking, so the girl helped her very carefully.
Su Youran's eyes narrowed. This woman was her original mother, Qin Mingyue. Back then, Wu Shuxian had just given birth and was in a weak state. She had no milk, and the baby was crying from hunger.
Qin Mingyue's mother-in-law gave the child to Qin Mingyue and fed her. However, Qin Mingyue looked at the servants coming and going in the yard and the dozen boxes of luggage, and she became interested and secretly changed the clothes and quilts of the two children.
When Qin Mingyue's mother-in-law came to pick up the child, she took her own daughter over.
Newborn babies all look the same, with red faces hidden by blankets so no one can tell.
Thanks to the chaos at the time, Wu Shuxian didn't even have a good look at the child she gave birth to.
Afterwards, Su Zhengming rushed over and took the mother and daughter back home, and no one knew anything about it.
Qin Mingyue's mother-in-law may know, or may not know. But she is no longer around.
Qin Mingyue's man had an accident while hunting in the mountains, so she brought her child to Shanghai. I don't know what method she used, but she was actually allowed to work as a servant in the Su Mansion.
Qin Mingyue had met Su Youran twice before she went abroad. Every time she met her, she couldn't hide her excitement.
She knew there must be something wrong with this person. After secretly asking around, she found out Qin Mingyue's hometown. What else did she not understand?
After that, she rarely went outside the main building and even went abroad. Now that she is back, if Qin Mingyue is still like that, it will be discovered sooner or later.
besides……
Su Youran’s eyes fell on the young girl, and she recalled the face she had caught a glimpse of at the racecourse before. Although not very eye-catching, she seemed to resemble Wu Shuxian a little bit?
When she went downstairs again, she had changed into a mint green dress and had braided her hair into two small braids that hung in front of her chest. She looked fresh and refined instead of heroic.
Wu Shuxian was satisfied with what she saw, and pulled her to sit down, just in time to face Ye Jiuzhou. Seeing her take some snacks to eat, she said angrily:
"Eat less. Dinner will be served soon."
Su Youran ate each soft, sweet snack and praised, “This snack is good. Auntie Pang’s cooking skills are even better.”
Aunt Pang is the cook specializing in dim sum at Su Mansion.
Wu Shuxian glanced at Ye Jiuzhou, who had never taken her eyes off Su Youran since she appeared, and said with a smile:
"It was brought by Jiuzhou. If you like it, ask Jiuzhou where he bought it and ask someone to buy it for you more often in the future."
Ye Jiuzhou's eyes were filled with amazement. Every time he thought he knew Su Youran well, she would appear in front of him in a different appearance, making him love her even more.
He looked at the snack:
"No need to be so troublesome. Miss Su, if you want to eat it, just tell me and I'll go buy it."
Su Youran paused as she held the snack in her hand. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face. “I can buy them myself.”
Ye Jiuzhou subconsciously replied: "Then I'll go with you."
Su Youran’s cheeks flushed. “Do you really have to talk like that?”
I promised you to give us a chance to get along, but aren't you a little too eager now?
Ye Jiuzhou coughed lightly: "I'm sorry, I can't help myself..."
Even Su Zhengming, who was concentrating on sipping tea, almost choked. Who said that Ye Jiuzhou was not good at speaking and was serious?
Who is this person saying sweet words to me?
Ye You looked at the ground, well, this must not be the cold-blooded guy he knew.
Love can really change a person beyond recognition.
Wu Shuxian's face was full of smiles. Ye Jiuzhou's family background, ability, and appearance were all good. If he was also good to Ranran, then he would be the perfect candidate for son-in-law.
The more she looked at Ye Jiuzhou, the more satisfied she became. She couldn't help but lend a helping hand and said to Su Youran:
"You just came back and haven't been out for a walk yet. Sucheng has changed a lot in the past few years. How about letting Jiuzhou take you out for a walk this afternoon?"
Ye Jiuzhou glanced at Wu Shuxian with gratitude, then looked at the silent Su Youran:
"Miss Su, if you don't mind, I'd like to be your flower protector for once?"
I heard this word from Ye You before, and now I am putting it into practice.
Su Zhengming also said:
"Go ahead, go out for a walk, see if there's anything you want to buy, and bring it back directly. Dad will pay for you."
Ye Jiuzhou thinks his mother-in-law is so nice, but his father-in-law is a bit unreasonable. I accompanied him shopping, so can't I afford to pay?
"No need, Uncle Su, I'm here."
The Ye family has a strong financial background and can definitely afford to support his darling child.
Su Youran felt a little thirsty after eating a few snacks, so she picked up the teacup and took a sip, watching them talking happily.
After lunch, Wu Shuxian sent Su Youran out, “Go ahead, and come back early.”
Su Youran responded slowly with an "Oh" and walked out slowly, which made Wu Shuxian angry and amused.
Why are you being so weird? I'm doing this for your own good. Relationships need to be nurtured. Since the other person is willing to put in the effort, you can keep trying.
Ye Jiuzhou opened the back door first. Su Youran looked at him and suddenly asked, "Can you drive?"
Ye Jiuzhou was stunned and nodded: "Yes."
And he drives very well. But he is busy most of the time, and even when he goes out to use the car, he always has a full-time driver.
Su Youran put her hands behind her back and gave him a sly smile:
"Didn't you say we should spend more time together? How can we get along with so many people around us? Do you want me to drive and take me around alone?"
Ye Jiuzhou's eyes lit up: "I couldn't ask for more."
He just didn't mention it because he was afraid she would feel uncomfortable. He really wanted to be alone with her.
Ye You stepped forward, a little hesitant, is it not safe? Ye Jiuzhou waved his hand:
"It's okay. If there were dangers everywhere, I wouldn't have to go out."
Ye You thought so too, so he said nothing more. He just watched Ye Jiuzhou carefully escort Su Youran to the passenger seat. He turned around and walked around the front of the car to the driving seat, thinking:
It's rare that his young master has shown some worldly desires, so they should understand the situation and make room for them.
Otherwise, if he wanted to pull Miss Su's hand, or... do something, it would not be convenient.
Ye You gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, thinking, I am so thoughtful.
Over there, Ye Jiuzhou started the car and slowly drove away from the Su Mansion. Su Youran looked outside the car for a while, then turned to look at Ye Jiuzhou who was concentrating on driving.
Ye Jiuzhou remained expressionless, but his hands gripping the steering wheel were already sweating:
"Ms. Su?"
Looking at me like this, I feel both excited and nervous.
Su Youran suddenly asked, "Do you like me?"
