Chapter 26 Questioning
Upon hearing Su Pu enter, Su Fengxian went into his study and adopted the demeanor of a strict father.
But after waiting for a long time, Su Pu still didn't come in to look for him.
The anger that had subsided slightly began to burn fiercely again. Su Fengxian stood up, his eyes darting around, looking for a suitable tool for himself.
His gaze settled on a loose picture frame in the corner, and he picked out the longer one.
Leaving the study and going down the stairs—
Then, he saw Li Jichuan sitting directly opposite the stairs.
The real Li Jichuan!
So surprised, Su Fengxian was still holding the stick he had used to discipline Su Pu in one hand when he walked downstairs and stood in front of Li Jichuan.
Li Jichuan looked at him, then at the thing in his hand, his brows relaxed, and he let out a laugh.
"Father-in-law, what's going on...?"
“Dad…” Su Hui whispered a reminder, then touched the back of his hand.
Su Fengxian was covered in sweat, his brain working slowly and stiffly. After a long while, he seemed to suddenly wake up and hid the wooden stick behind his back.
"Oh, what brings you here, Xiao Li?"
Su Fengxian tried his best to appear calm, after all, logically speaking, he was Li Jichuan's elder.
But how can it be that on a first meeting, the elders stand awkwardly while the younger generation sits comfortably in a chair...?
A wheelchair is also a chair, isn't it?
Su Fengxian coughed and glared at Su Pu, who was standing on his other side.
"Xiao Pu, since you were going to bring your husband along, why didn't you tell your father beforehand?"
Su Pu's eyes were vacant; he himself hadn't expected Li Jichuan to come.
Seeing that Su Pu did not respond, Su Fengxian coughed awkwardly twice more and said to them:
"Don't stand at the door. Xiao Li has come all this way. Come to the reception room and have a cup of tea."
Li Jichuan nodded and remotely controlled the wheelchair to follow behind Su Fengxian and his son Su Hui.
Su Pu seized the opportunity to come to his side, her gaze blank and astonished.
It's as if it's asking, "Why are you here?"
Li Jichuan couldn't help but chuckle.
How could he not know that teasing Su Pu and catching her off guard was so interesting?
The main thing is that Su Pu's expression is just too cute right now, like a character who came out of an animated film, with a pair of round deer eyes full of question marks.
She really can't hide her thoughts at all...
Li Jichuan glanced at the two people in front of him and lowered his voice.
"You're allowed to be friends with Ouyang, but I'm not allowed to have another mobile intelligence station?"
In an instant, the symbol in Su Pu's eyes turned into an exclamation mark.
This amused Li Jichuan, filling his eyes with tenderness.
Upon entering the reception room, Su Fengxian naturally sat in the center of the three-seater sofa, leaving a two-seater sofa and a single sofa on either side.
Su Hui followed closely behind and plopped down in the middle of the two-seater sofa.
Only a single sofa was left for the remaining two people.
It was obvious they wanted to trick Su Pu.
After all, "Su Pu," the title he had been calling "Su Pu" since he was a child, was the title he had used to address the Su family's servants.
Do you really think that getting married will change you?
However, no matter how well he calculated, he couldn't stop Li Jichuan from bringing his own chair.
They don't need to sit on his sofa at all.
Li Jichuan's wheelchair was parked next to the single sofa, separated from Su Pu by only an armrest. The two of them were sitting almost touching the armrest, whispering to each other for a long time.
Li Jichuan said something, and the little mute's cheeks instantly turned red.
The sight of the two so deeply in love made Su anxious.
Isn't it said that Li Jichuan has a strange personality and only targets young boys to "torture"?
Why do I feel like he and Su Pu are chatting and laughing, and they seem to have a very good relationship?
Could it be that Su Pu really managed to win over Li Jichuan?
"Xiao Li, you're so busy with work, I didn't expect you to still remember these etiquette rules."
Su Fengxian, who was sitting in the main seat, finally couldn't hold back and interrupted the two people's whisper.
"But I didn't see you come the day after Su Pu moved in. Why did you come here today...?"
Su Fengxian's words were veiled in barbs, subtly implying that Li Jichuan's attempt to mend the fence after the sheep were lost was ill-considered and lacked proper manners.
Li Jichuan naturally heard his complaint, but he remained as composed and easygoing as ever.
“I was really busy before, and my grandfather is not in good health, so I try to visit him whenever I have a spare moment. For example, I wanted to go to your company’s anniversary party a couple of days ago, but something unexpected happened at work, so I couldn’t get away.”
Li Jichuan's voice was deep, and he always spoke in a strangely serious and earnest manner.
It seemed that whatever he said made perfect sense.
After listening, Su Fengxian nodded unconsciously, going along with his words to smooth things over for him.
"I understand, after all, you have such a large group to manage, and you have to prioritize things."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Dad..."
When Li Jichuan uttered the word "Dad," everyone present was astonished.
Su Fengxian's eyes immediately crinkled with laughter, flattered and overwhelmed.
"We're all family, no need for thanks... But we'll have to trouble you to take good care of our little Pu!"
With that "Dad," Su Fengxian instantly forgot the embarrassment and awkwardness of the anniversary party.
After all, being related to the Li family by marriage is a great honor for the Su family!
Li Jichuan smiled modestly and shook his head gently, saying, "He took care of me more."
Su Pu pursed her lips and glanced at him quickly.
I can't help but feel happy.
Meanwhile, Su Hui, who was opposite them, was even more consumed by jealousy.
What gives Su Pu the right to do this?
Shouldn't everything he has now belong to him?
He had given it away to Su Pu because he didn't want it anymore, but unexpectedly, he stumbled upon a good marriage.
What gives him the right?!
Meanwhile, Su Fengxian was completely unaware of his youngest son's intentions, busy currying favor with Li Jichuan and mentioning several projects that were currently being bid on.
Li Jichuan readily agreed and promised to "take a picture" with them.
If all these projects are successfully implemented, the Su family's company will achieve a leap in social class.
He won't have to do anything; he can just lie there all day and a flood of money and resources will come his way...
Just thinking about it makes Su Fengxian laugh out loud.
"Xiao Li, are you busy tonight? Why don't you stay for dinner?"
Su Fengxian laughed so hard his eyes disappeared.
"Our chef is quite skilled; he knows a little bit of everything. Look at Huihui, she always gains weight every time she goes back to China for vacation..."
Li Jichuan subtly changed the subject.
"Since your chef is so good, why is Xiao Pu so thin from hunger?"
"ah?"
Su Fengxian was immediately stunned, and the smile that had been on his face gradually faded away.
“Xiao Pu, he, he doesn’t live with us…” Su Fengxian stammered.
However, Li Jichuan had no intention of letting him off the hook and pressed on, asking:
"Is it that I don't want to live with you, or that I can't live with you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Pu suddenly clenched his drooping hand.
This house is so big, yet there isn't a single place big enough for him.
"When Su Pu came into my life, she didn't like to eat, couldn't sleep well, and was always very cautious. Did you know all this, Dad?"
That "Dad" was called so clearly, like a slap in Su Fengxian's face.
Li Jichuan finally revealed his true intentions.
He didn't come to pay respects to his elders; he came to demand an explanation.
How did your family raise my perfectly good wife to be like this?
