Li Shuguang?
How could that boy from the Li family have taken a liking to Su Shuang?
Although Old Lian had no children, he had some understanding of the younger generation in the compound.
Unlike Huo Dongfang and Zhan Beiwang, Li Shuguang was not single-minded in his studies, nor was he upright and kind.
Li Shuguang's relationships with women were exceptionally chaotic, and the Li family had to clean up his messes countless times.
Logically speaking, Su San should know Li Shuguang's character very well, so why would Su San still be willing to let her daughter Su get engaged to Li Shuguang?
"Su Sangeng, how much do you know about Li Shuguang?"
As an elder, Lian Lao still had an obligation to remind Su Sangeng.
Li Shuguang is not a good match.
As a father, Su Sangeng still needs to seriously consider Su Shuang's happiness.
"Old Lian," Su Sangeng said with a bitter look in his eyes, "I understand your concerns, but the child is grown up and doesn't listen to me. I can't just lock her up."
Su Shuang is someone that even the elders have watched grow up. When she was little, she was very well-behaved and obedient.
As we grew up, we saw each other less often.
Even though he's soft-hearted, he still hopes Su Shuang can marry a good man.
"When are you getting engaged?" Old Lian asked.
Su San said helplessly, "Su Shuang wants to get married directly, but I want to observe Li Shuguang for a while longer. I thought we should get engaged first. Before I came, I looked up the almanac and picked a few dates."
If it's Su Sangeng's business, even the old man won't care or ask about it.
But when Su Shuang was little, she was well-behaved and adorable, and she would sweetly call him "Grandpa".
He couldn't just stand by and watch Su Shuang's later years fall into the hands of a playboy like Li Shuguang.
"You should discuss the engagement date with the Li family and then let me know."
Old Lian understood Su San's true intention in insisting that he attend the engagement banquet: to put pressure on the Li family.
For Elder Lian, simply showing his face is nothing more than a small matter.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away."
Su Sangeng expressed her deepest gratitude.
Old Lian waved his hand.
Yin Zhongzheng coldly observed Su Sangeng's actions until Su Sangeng left, then asked, "Knowing that the other party is not a good person, Su Sangeng still agreed to marry his daughter to him. Is he trying to establish a marriage alliance?"
The people Yin Zhongzheng despised most were parents like Su Sangeng who used their children's happiness as bargaining chips.
Old Lian: "Su Sangeng has always been selfish, so I'm not surprised that he would do such a thing. Li Shuguang is a man of his word, so it's not surprising that Su Shuang would be captivated by him."
Yin Zhongzheng asked, "So you plan to go to Licheng after your engagement?"
"It depends on the time."
Yin Zhongzheng: "Alright, if it's still early, you can go to Licheng for recuperation first."
After leaving Elder Lian's courtyard, Su Sangeng changed his previous cautious demeanor and walked into the Li family with an extremely frightening appearance.
As soon as Li Shuguang saw Su Sangeng, he casually tossed him a pack of cigarettes.
"Uncle Su."
Su Sangeng sat down in front of Li Shuguang and said calmly, "You and Su Shuang should get engaged soon."
"Sure."
Li Shuguang had also been in the military before, but he wasn't as hardworking as Huo Dongfang and Zhan Beiwang.
He had been preparing to go into business for a long time, and with the support of his ancestors, his business was thriving.
"I've picked a few dates, take a look."
Su Sangeng placed the almanac in front of Li Shuguang.
Li Shuguang said dismissively, "Just pick the nearest day. By the way, Uncle Su, don't forget what you promised me."
"I never go back on my promises."
In no time, Su Sangeng set the date for Su Shuang and Li Shuguang's engagement.
Once the engagement date was set, Li Shuguang picked up the phone on the table and called Li Xiaoman, who was far away in Shanghai.
"Xiaoman, I'm getting engaged."
After Li Shuguang made the phone call, Su Sangeng handed Ye Fanxing's photo to Li Shuguang.
“She’s a student at Licheng Military Medical University. Try to find a way to deal with her.”
Li Shuguang took Ye Fanxing's photo and looked at it carefully. Ye Fanxing in the photo still looked like she did when she was in the Cheng family, timid and insecure.
"How should we handle this?" Li Shuguang asked with a smile. "We can't exactly kill him, can we?"
Ye Fanxing's existence is a thorn in Su Sangeng's side.
He never expected that Ye Fanxing would get in touch with Huo Dongfang. Ultimately, it was Cheng Jianshe's incompetence that caused the problem.
“No need to kill anyone.” Su San said calmly and indifferently, “There are many bachelors in the mountains who can’t get married. Let’s do a good deed. Let’s give him a wife!”
Holding Ye Fanxing's photo, Li Shuguang asked with a smile, "Uncle Su, you're a bit heartless!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Su San said calmly. "This is something you and I should know, but no third party can know about it."
"OK."
Li Shuguang and Su Sangeng are now in the same boat.
If Su Sangeng gets into trouble, Li Shuguang will not fare well either.
"I'll arrange it."
Su San thought even more strongly that he didn't want Ye Fanxing's life.
By the time the rumors die down in three to five years, even if Ye Fanxing is found, she will have already had someone else's child.
What will Ye Fanxing be able to do then?
I believe that no matter how hard the Huo family investigates, they will not be able to trace it back to him.
The news that Li Shuguang and Su Shuang were getting engaged spread throughout the compound.
To win Su Shuang's heart, Li Shuguang spent both money and effort. Su Shuang, a novice in love, was no match for a playboy like Li Shuguang, and she naturally fell into this "sweet trap" long ago.
Because the engagement was so close, Lian Lao and Yin Zhongzheng stayed in the capital.
The Li family had raised Li Xiaoman, and when her brother Li Shuguang got engaged, Li Xiaoman returned to Beijing, no matter how busy she was with her business in Shanghai.
On the day of the engagement, both the Li and Su families were overjoyed.
Since both families lived in the same courtyard, the engagement ceremony was held in the courtyard's auditorium.
Li Shuguang made a lot of money in business, and this engagement banquet was extremely lavish.
Old Lian sat in the main seat and looked at Li Shuguang and Su Shuang. The two were dressed very festively, and their young faces were filled with happy smiles. They received so many red envelopes that their hands were sore.
"Grandpa Lian," Su Shuang said, holding a wine glass, as she walked up to Grandpa Lian. "Thank you for coming to my engagement banquet with Shuguang."
Li Shuguang quickly pledged his loyalty, saying, "Grandpa Lian, I will be good to Xiaoshuang for the rest of my life."
Old Lian took out a red envelope he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Su Shuang.
"Xiao Shuang, congratulations on your engagement."
Holding the light red envelope, Su Shuang was quite surprised and thought to herself: Isn't it a gold bar?
She clearly saw that Cheng Xu took a lot of gold bars, but she thought they were an engagement gift from Lian Lao.
Seeing that Su Shuang's expression was off as she held the red envelope, Li Shuguang quickly took it from her and said respectfully and humbly, "Thank you, Elder Lian."
Su Shuang's smile froze on her face.
Gold bars turned into red envelopes.
She couldn't be happy.
Since Li Shuguang had already given that subtle hint with his hands on his hips, Su Shuang could only reluctantly thank him.
"Thank you, Mr. Lian."
