Chapter 2411
Just as Su Ruoli was impatiently arranging for her mother to go to the bathroom and prepare to take the Reshaping Pill, Su Shoudao in the living room of the suite looked at Ye Chen and asked tentatively: "Mr. Ye, can I ask you a favor?"
Ye Chen said indifferently: "Mr. Su, just say it, no need to be so polite."
Su Shoudao had no bottom in his heart, chuckled and said: "I want to ask you for a day of freedom, even half a day is fine."
Su Shoudao knew very well that although he had followed He Yingxiu to New York, he was essentially still under house arrest by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen asked curiously after hearing his request: "What does Mr. Su want to do with a day of freedom? You can tell me first. If it is reasonable, this matter is not impossible to discuss."
Su Shoudao suddenly looked embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage and said: "I want to buy a gift for Ruoli's mother, and if conditions permit, invite her out for dinner."
Ye Chen became interested when he heard this. He looked at Su Shoudao and asked straight to the point: "May I ask, are you planning to take a step further with Ms. He?"
Su Shoudao's expression was a bit flustered, and he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Ye, don't misunderstand, I don't have any ulterior motives, and I definitely don't want to use this method to influence your punishment for me. I made this request entirely based on my personal feelings."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh and lamented: "Mr. Ye, actually, during the time in Jin Ling, I have reflected on myself very seriously. My life is indeed quite a failure. I chose an opponent I could never defeat, and chose a woman I could never move. I thought I was at the peak of many families in the country, but I didn't expect that my three children would repeatedly fall into crisis..."
At this time, Su Shoudao looked at the bathroom with a shameful expression and muttered: "And, I also let a woman who loved me pay for me silently for so many years. Every time I think of it, I feel ashamed..."
Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded lightly, and his attitude toward Su Shoudao couldn't help but change.
In Ye Chen's eyes, there are two kinds of enemies: one is heinous and must die, and the other is not yet at the point of death and can still be saved.
If the Su family was really the mastermind behind the death of his parents back then, Ye Chen would definitely let all the Su family members involved be buried with his parents.
Fortunately, the Su family didn't actually participate, so there was still a chance to save them.
So, Ye Chen pretended to lament: "Ms. He has indeed paid a lot for you, not just her, even Ruoli has paid a lot for you and the Su family, and has been betrayed by the Su family repeatedly."
Su Shoudao said shamefully: "You're right... The previous Su family members were too cold, including me..."
As he spoke, Su Shoudao couldn't help but say sincerely: "So I have been thinking during this period of time, hoping to have a chance to make up for the mother and daughter."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "How do you plan to make up for it?"
Su Shoudao hesitated again and again, but still said what he was thinking. He looked at Ye Chen and said very firmly: "Mr. Ye, to tell you the truth, I want to buy a ring tomorrow, book a high-end restaurant, invite Ruoli's mother to have dinner together, and then propose to her at the banquet..."
"Propose?" Ye Chen frowned and looked at Su Shoudao, saying seriously: "You are the eldest son of this generation of the Su family. Although Ms. He gave birth to Ruoli for you, her status is a hundred thousand miles away from yours. What's more, she is a disabled person. Of course, I don't have any discrimination against disabled people, I just want to ask if you have carefully considered the gap between you?"
Seeing Ye Chen frown and say some questioning words, Su Shoudao thought Ye Chen was questioning him, so he said without hesitation: "Mr. Ye, you don't have to doubt my motives. I really want to walk through the rest of my life with Ruoli's mother. I know she has always had me in her heart, and during this period of time, my own heart is also hoping for this. And don't worry, I want to marry her, not to seek so-called freedom. If she agrees to marry me, I am willing to continue to be under house arrest by her in Jin Ling. You only need to give me one day of freedom. After this day of freedom, I will continue to obey all your previous arrangements."
As he spoke, Su Shoudao said very seriously: "As for the gap you just mentioned, it no longer exists in my eyes. I am no longer the Eldest Young Master of the Su family, nor the heir of the Su family. And her arm was lost to save my life. I owe it to her. So if there is a gap, it is the gap between her being high and me being low. It is me who is a hundred thousand miles behind her."
Seeing Su Shoudao's sincerity, Ye Chen knew that everything he said came from his heart, and he felt a bit moved in his heart.
In fact, from a certain perspective, Ye Chen also had some sympathy for Su Shoudao.
Not to mention anything else, he loved Du Haiqing deeply for so many years but couldn't get Du Haiqing's true heart back. This point is indeed sigh-worthy.
Besides, the old man Su Chengfeng was strong and vicious, and Su Shoudao had been suppressed, and at the critical moment, he was kicked to Australia by the old man, and even his biological daughter was betrayed by the old man and he was powerless to change it. This eldest son's life was indeed suffocating.
If he could really get together with He Yingxiu and live a down-to-earth life, he would also be willing to end his punishment and even send his blessings.
However, Ye Chen couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Su, every successful man, when he is in trouble, will reflect on himself and criticize himself. Zhu Yuanzhang also regarded the porridge made from leftovers as pearl, emerald, and white jade soup when he was in trouble. But the problem is that some people can truly reflect, and even if they regain success in the future, they can remember the lessons. But some people's reflection will only stay in the trough. Once they get rid of the trough, those reflections will naturally be thrown behind. If you regain your freedom in the future and regain control of hundreds of billions of wealth, will you still insist on your current decision?"
Su Shoudao chuckled and said: "What hundreds of billions of wealth, it's all just passing clouds. The Su family used to have mansions all over the world. I have lived in many good villas, manors, and even castles, but to tell you the truth, none of them are as settled as the time in Jin Ling."
"During the time in Jin Ling, I don't have to rack my brains to show myself, I don't have to care about my father's opinion of me, I don't have to worry about the intrigue, fighting, and grabbing between brothers, and I don't have to worry about whether Zhiyu's mother is thinking about other men behind my back..."
"Besides, there is Ruoli's mother's careful and thoughtful care every day. Life is much easier than I don't know how much. To use a sentence often said by young people now, this is the happiness of lying flat..."
Speaking of this, Su Shoudao looked at Ye Chen and said solemnly: "Mr. Ye, I know what you are worried about. What you are worried about is definitely not whether I will regret it in the future, but whether I will regret it in the future and make Ruoli's mother sad again, and make Ruoli disappointed in me. I, Su Shoudao, guarantee to you with my personality today that from now on, until I pass away, I will never let down the mother and daughter. Please fulfill it, Mr. Ye!"
