Chapter 2409

Su Shoudao, with complicated feelings, hesitated again and again before sitting opposite He Yingxiu.

Seeing him come, He Yingxiu smiled slightly and asked him: "How did you sleep?"

"Pretty good." Su Shoudao responded, looked out the window, then looked at He Yingxiu, and asked her: "Why didn't you go in to rest?"

He Yingxiu was slightly stunned. The interior of this Gulfstream plane had only been modified with one bedroom. Although Su Shoudao had said from the beginning that the two could rest in the bedroom together, she still felt it was a bit inappropriate.

Su Shoudao was afraid she would misunderstand, so he specifically emphasized at the time that he didn't mean anything else, just that the journey was long, and the two could share the big bed in the bedroom, so that both could get some rest during the journey.

He Yingxiu didn't commit, just let Su Shoudao rest first, but she sat outside for more than ten hours.

Hearing Su Shoudao's inquiry, He Yingxiu said somewhat unnaturally: "I am a martial artist, I'm not tired, and I don't want to disturb your rest, so I just looked at the scenery outside."

Su Shoudao muttered: "Flying from night to night, there is no scenery to see."

He Yingxiu smiled unnaturally, then intentionally changed the subject and muttered: "I don't know why Mr. Ye suddenly asked us to go to the United States. I asked Ruoli, and she didn't explain it to me clearly, just saying that there might be a great good thing, and asked me to go over with you as soon as possible."

Su Shoudao muttered with some resentment: "What good things can happen with Ye Chen? Since the day I knew him, I haven't encountered any good things..."

He Yingxiu looked at him and said seriously: "Eldest Young Master, you still need to adjust your attitude toward Mr. Ye. Given the grievances between the Su family and Ye Changying back then, as well as the actions of the old man and Wan Pojun killing their way to Mount Ye Ling, Mr. Ye's ability to spare the Su family is already very merciful."

For Su Shoudao, He Yingxiu still maintained the original form of address in private. Even though the He family no longer relied on the Su family, and even though Su Shoudao became the object she needed to keep under house arrest, she still called him Eldest Young Master.

In He Yingxiu's view, this form of address was respect for Su Shoudao, but in Su Shoudao's view, this form of address had a sense of distance.

However, he also knew that what He Yingxiu said was the truth. Disputes between wealthy families, once one side has the intention to kill, it is bound to be a life-and-death struggle. The Su family hoped to join forces with the Wanlong Palace to wipe out the Ye family in one fell swoop, but Ye Chen could still give the Su family a way out, which was indeed benevolent.

At this time, He Yingxiu added: "Eldest Young Master, don't forget, Mr. Ye not only spared the Su family, but he also saved the lives of Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Lady, and Ruoli in Japan. If it weren't for him, you might have no descendants."

Su Shoudao's expression tightened, then he sighed and said sincerely: "You're right, I'm actually quite grateful to Ye Chen in my heart, I'm just being stubborn in front of you. After all, you're not an outsider. If I really see Ye Chen, I will definitely be polite."

He Yingxiu was moved when she heard him say she wasn't an outsider.

During this period, she could also see the gradual change in Su Shoudao's attitude toward her, and sometimes she could even feel some different tenderness.

But she never dared to give any response. Besides inferiority, she also felt that Su Shoudao's current situation was at the bottom of his life. Men in this situation are prone to lowering their spirits and developing good feelings for people and things they originally looked down on.

However, once such a man's life begins to bottom out, his spirits will also rise with the rise of his situation. By then, those people and things that originally attracted him in the trough will definitely make him feel repulsive, or even disgusted.

He Yingxiu had loved Su Shoudao for many years and raised Su Ruoli alone. She was used to being alone in terms of feelings, so she didn't want to have any emotional entanglements with him while he was in the trough of his life.

Maybe one day Ye Chen is in a good mood, or Su Zhiyu and Su Ruoli can say a few more good words for Su Shoudao in front of Ye Chen, then Ye Chen might pardon his punishment. At that time, he would definitely be impatient to leave Jin Ling and regain the life that belongs to him.

After all, the Su family is now managed by Su Zhiyu alone. When Su Shoudao regains his freedom, Su Zhiyu will definitely ensure that her biological father has no worries about food and clothing, and may even hand over part of the Su family's business to Su Shoudao to be responsible for.

By then, he will usher in a rebirth and will definitely be able to find another half that truly meets his requirements.

So, she adjusted her mindset and said very seriously to Su Shoudao: "Eldest Young Master, it is a rare opportunity to meet Mr. Ye. You must try your best to seize the opportunity to leave a good impression on Mr. Ye. Maybe he will show mercy to you."

Su Shoudao saw that her expression and tone were full of distance, and couldn't help but say: "Yingxiu, it's just the two of us here, you don't have to call me Eldest Young Master every time..."

He Yingxiu said: "But I have been calling you that for so many years."

Su Shoudao nodded and mocked himself: "That's all in the past. When the old man was in charge of the Su family, I was naturally the Eldest Young Master of the Su family. But now the old man is feeding giraffes in Madagascar, and I am under house arrest in Jin Ling. How can I still be the Eldest Young Master..."

He Yingxiu smiled slightly and said with some respect: "The He family has been working for the Su family since my father's generation, and I have also worked by your side for many years. These forms of address have long been a habit, and it's not something that can be changed just by saying so. If my father hears that my form of address for you is not respectful enough, he will definitely blame me."

Su Shoudao knew very well that He Yingxiu said these things not because she really had this concern, but because she didn't want to accept his goodwill.

He had experienced such setbacks more than once or twice during this period. Seeing He Yingxiu defend herself flawlessly again, he felt a bit dejected, but he didn't give up.

During this period, Su Shoudao had figured it out. He had spent so many years with Du Haiqing, the woman he once loved deeply, but in the end, it was all in vain. Feelings, if not mutual and with each other in mind, are meaningless even if the other party is good.

Thinking of He Yingxiu's dedication to him over the years, Su Shoudao firmly believed in this woman's feelings for him on one hand, and on the other hand, looking back at the past so many years, he gradually felt that He Yingxiu was actually the woman most suitable for him.

Although He Yingxiu was disabled, Su Shoudao knew in his heart that He Yingxiu's disability was also to save his life, so in his eyes, he had no resistance to He Yingxiu's disability.

The current Su Shoudao, after experiencing so much pain and struggle, no longer had the ambition and desire for wealth and status, and only wanted to live a stable and plain life, finally returning to the prodigal son.

Therefore, even though he had been rejected many times, Su Shoudao was not discouraged at all.

He felt that since Ye Chen had arranged this one-on-one house arrest for him and He Yingxiu, he would have plenty of time in the future to fight for it slowly.

In his view, He Yingxiu had waited for him for so many years, so what if he waited for her for a few years?
