Chapter 170: Where

~8 min read 1,490 words

Although she would become a stray dog, Rou Huiqing was actually quite happy. She was a little worried that Qin Zhenzhong might persuade her to return to her parents' side. He was actually quite traditional.

"I told him! I don't know what Eldest Uncle said, but he agreed!"

Rou Huiqing stole a glance at Su Xi, who was driving steadily up front, feeling very grateful.

"Thank you all for being willing to help me like this!"

Su Yu said fiercely to Su Xi, "Hurry up and say something!"

【Gone mute? When it's your turn to take a wife you don't lift a finger — do you want to watch the person you like marry someone else?】

"What I told you before still holds. Right now it'll probably be the Qin family who receives the betrothal gifts. I'm very petty — I can be filial to Uncle Qin, but you can't have any entanglement with Qin Yuanjun."

Rou Huiqing froze for a moment, recalling the conditions Su Xi had stated, her earlobes reddening slightly.

She felt a bit awkward!

She didn't know how to respond!

Did this count as a proposal? But it didn't really sound like one! They had only known each other a short while! Yet his whole family had helped her a lot — would refusing be too heartless?

But Su Yu was still muttering beside them, "Aiya, Eldest Uncle is really useless — he clearly likes her but pretends to look completely indifferent. If you weren't stealing glances at her from time to time, I'd have thought you didn't like her!"

Wulongcha waited for quite a while; it only noticed that the atmosphere in the car was strange.

【Host, didn't you tell me to wait?】

【Yes, isn't that obvious? I told Rou Huiqing that she still has my Eldest Uncle as an option. If even this can't snap her out of it and she insists on throwing herself against that wall called Qin Yuanjun, then there's no need for me to play little matchmaker! She won't have trouble finding a husband, and my Eldest Uncle won't have trouble finding a wife either!】

Su Yu was playing matchmaker between Rou Huiqing and Su Xi because she knew Su Xi liked Rou Huiqing. If Rou Huiqing were the kind of person who wasn't very clear-headed, then of course she should stay as far away as possible!

The car drove back to the villa; Qin Zhenzhong was sitting in the courtyard waiting.

"Uncle Qin!"

"Grandpa Qin!"

"Uncle Qin!"

"Huiqing's here. I plan to take you in as my goddaughter. From now on, your household registration can be transferred to my side under the pretext of work. How about it?"

"That's wonderful! Thank you, Uncle Qin!"

With her household registration transferred to the compound, Rou Huiqing was so moved her eyes brimmed with tears!

"Xiao Fu, take Huiqing to get the paperwork done."

Rou Huiqing knew the compound's methods and efficiency.

"Since I'm your goddaughter, why don't I take your surname?"

Rou Huiqing deeply loathed her name. Her parents had chosen it with the intention that she should benefit her own family and, moreover, be virtuous herself. She urgently wanted to sever ties with her past. Even if others regarded her as an ungrateful wretch, she didn't care. She was afraid that after tonight, Qin Zhenzhong wouldn't help her change her name again!

"Whatever name you like, have Xiao Fu change it for you."

Rou Huiqing knew when to quit while she was ahead, and followed the orderly to change her name and process the paperwork.

Su Xi and Su Yu stayed where they were.

"Do you want to go inside and keep an old grandma company? She's very kind!"

"No!"

Su Yu held Su Xi's hand, shaking her head vigorously.

"I'm sleepy! You adults hurry up and say whatever you need to say — going to bed too late will make your hair fall out!"

Su Yu was telling the truth! She would normally have bathed and gone to sleep long ago. Staying up now was all to help Su Xi chase a wife!

【My sacrifice is too great! If Eldest Uncle and Rou Huiqing get together and the babies they have are disobedient, I will definitely spank the kids!】

Su Xi: Heh, that's a long way off!

"Keep him confined — he won't behave himself otherwise!"

Qin Zhenzhong hadn't expected Su Xi to have someone send Qin Yuanjun home!

"Tomorrow someone will deliver Guan Xianxian's whereabouts to Qin Yuanjun. Uncle Qin, if you want grandchildren, start preparing during this period. Once you're fully prepared, you can give him a sum of money and let him go find Guan Xianxian.

If he's truly willing to give up everything to be with Guan Xianxian, why not simply let him have his way?

You could also cultivate a few more children to inherit the family business!"

If Qin Zhenzhong could have given up that easily, Qin Yuanjun wouldn't have kept making trouble until now.

"Let me think it over carefully!"

On the way home, Su Yu couldn't hold on and fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, Su Yu realized she had overslept!

"Aaaah, why didn't anyone wake me? I'm going to be late for work!"

Su Yu sprinted downstairs in her slippers, planning to grab something quick and head to the company. Ji Yan, who had heard the commotion from Su Yi's room, quietly reminded her daughter, "Today is Saturday — no need to go to work!"

"Oh!"

Su Yu's expression relaxed, and she ran back upstairs!

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going back to sleep!"

Ji Yan stepped forward quickly and picked Su Yu up. "No, you don't! You have to eat your breakfast properly!"

Su Yu was set down on the dining table and finished her breakfast while yawning.

She wasn't sleepy anymore!

"Uncle Butler, where's Eldest Uncle?"

"Eldest Young Master is still resting."

"Oh!"

Su Yu was so bored!

"Mom, I want to go play with Huo Huo, can I?"

【Go play with Liang Yan and have Zhu Xueheng take us over to the Qin family to see Rou Huiqing — I'm so smart!】

Ji Yan smiled slightly, "No way, Huo Huo needs to study; you can't disturb her!"

"Then can I look for Can Can?"

"Ren Tiandu really didn't want to keep bringing Tang Can to find them, so he asked Su Xi for contact information, letting Tang Tang get in touch with Ji Yan."

"Also not possible, Tang Can's family seems very busy!"

"What is she busy with? I'll ask!"

"Ji Yan hesitated for a moment, opened her phone, and had Su Yu send a voice message."

"Soon, a clear child's voice came from the other end."

"Ruhuhu, our family has been busy persuading that girl from last time not to commit suicide! She absolutely must get married, but her family won't agree, so she wants to kill herself!"

"Ah?"

【It's been two or three days, right? Still not persuaded?】

"Ruhuhu, why aren't you speaking?"

"Ruhuhu, I'm so bored alone; do you want to come play with me?"

"Aren't you busy persuading people?"

"Tang Can held the phone, hearing this, she broke into a happy smile."

"No, I'm persuading her with Ren Tiandu; every time we say a sentence, she cuts herself with a knife, scaring the family!"

"Su Yu was extremely shocked after hearing that!"

【It's that bloody? That guy gave her a poison, using his life to exchange for the family's consent?】

"If she loses too much blood, won't she die?"

"Tang Can, hearing Su Yu's question, instinctively wanted to ask an adult for help. She held the phone and moved closer, then heard her great-grandmother and great-grandfather say, 'Even if you die, you can only die in our house! At worst, we two old things will go to jail!'"

"Tang Can blinked her eyes repeatedly and repeated those words."

"Tang Can saw that Su Yu hadn't replied, so she curiously made a phone call."

"Hey? Ruhuhu, why are you ignoring me?"

"Can Can, I haven't figured out what to say."

"You can say whatever you want!"

"I think that aunt is like Uncle Qin Yuanjun!"

"Qin Yuanjun, a well-known sycophant and prodigal in the circle!"

"The woman holding the knife was so angry her hands shook!"

"How could she be the same as Qin Yuanjun? Hers is true love, his is an accident! She is a mutual pursuit of love, while he is a sycophant who licks to the end, getting everything he deserves!"

"They are on different tracks!"

"Tang Can didn't know who Qin Yuanjun was, 'How are they alike?'"

"Su Yu wasn't in a hurry to answer that question, 'Can Can, do you know where your aunt's lover is?'"

"Tang Can didn't know, but she turned her head and saw the adults all staring at her, so she nodded confidently, 'I know!'"

"Where is he now?"

"Good night, babies~"
