Su Mansion, study room.
The master of the palace, Su Minghe, sat cross-legged in front of a large ancient table that was only half a meter high. He leisurely told Su Qianqian, who was sitting opposite the long table, about the immortal who suddenly visited today.
Su Qianqian was shocked after hearing this, and looked at her father, Su Minghe, who was sitting across from him with a questioning expression, "Ah, father! Are you saying that the young man just now is a descendant of the immortal?"
"What? Are you a little unconvinced?" Su Minghe asked with a smile.
Su Qianqian nodded, "I don't quite believe it."
"Oh! Dad doesn't believe it either." Su Minghe smiled bitterly. "But there is no doubt that he is a descendant of the Immortal."
Su Qianqian still didn't seem to believe it. She looked at the old housekeeper Huang Jiuping who was standing aside: "Uncle Ping, is everything my father said true?"
Huang Jiuping smiled, showing his big yellow teeth. He didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it either.
Su Qianqian's eyes widened: "Then... isn't that young man over 800 years old, but he still looks like a young man? Can people really live for that long without getting older? It's not like living at all. It seems like a long time.”
"Qianqian, please don't be rude. The matters of immortals are not something we mortals can talk about." Su Minghe scolded.
"Yes, yes, dad, you are right, it is not something we mortals can say." Su Qianqian stood up, "Then my daughter went back to sleep."
After saying that, Su Qianqian waved her hands to the two people in front of her as a salute, then turned around and headed towards the study room.
"Stop! Come back." But Su Qianqian had just taken a few steps when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her, and she stopped instantly. I also felt something bad in my heart.
Su Qianqian slowly turned around and saw a beautiful woman in orange clothes walking out from behind with a silent expression. It was Ma Sufen, "Ah mother?"
Ma Sufen walked to the garden table and sat down, looking at Su Qianqian: "Qianqian, where have you been today?"
Su Qianqian's character has always been carefree, and in the Su family, only her mother, Ma Sufen, can control her. Therefore, when Su Qianqian saw that she was her mother, she became a little more obedient. She stepped forward and took her mother's hand: "Mom, I didn't go anywhere. I just went to Dachang Street with Han Xuan. Went shopping.”
"You know how to play." Ma Sufen said in a lecturing tone, "But after all, why don't you come back with Jing Chen? Your father and I have something to do today and I don't have time to pick you up, so I sent someone to inform you. Jing Chen will pick you up. It would be better for you to leave Jing Chen there alone before leaving the ferry and leave with that kid Han Xuan. What do you want Jing Chen to think? "
"He can think whatever he wants!" Su Qianqian curled her lips.
"What did you say?" Ma Sufen frowned.
Su Qianqian waved her hands quickly and said with a smile: "Ah, Mom, no...it's nothing. I said I was sleepy, haha..."
Ma Sufen sighed: "Qianqian, you are engaged now, don't keep thinking about going out with that boy Han Xuan every day. You will get married to Jing Chen next month, don't do anything extraordinary. Let outsiders gossip about the matter."
"Getting married?" Su Qianqian was surprised, "What do you mean I'm getting married to Jing Chen next month? Why didn't I know?"
At this time, Su Minghe, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up and walked forward, saying, "Qianqian, yes, my father and mother met your Uncle Zhang when you went out to play two days ago. It turned out that it was We talked about the business between the two chambers of commerce, and then we talked about your marriage to Jing Chen, and finally decided on it. Today, your mother and I are just going to get the marriage certificate, hahaha ....”
"What?" Hearing these words, Su Qianqian's eyes were a little unbelievable. It was her father who doted on her no matter what. I thought to myself, I was only out for a few days, why did I end up getting married that I had always disliked.
Su Qianqian was a little hard to accept, and she looked at them with a pleading look on her face. "Oh! Mom, dad, I don't want to get married yet."
"Why don't you want to get married?" Ma Sufen sighed, "Qianqian, how old are you? Don't act like a child."
Su Qianqian stamped her feet anxiously, "Then I don't want to get married. Besides, father and mother, didn't I tell you that I don't like that Zhang Jingchen."
Su Minghe and Ma Sufen looked at each other, and then Su Minghe said: "Qianqian, whether you like it or not, you can cultivate it slowly in the future. You and Jing Chen still don't get along too much, and we should spend more time together in the future. Let’s have a chat, have a heart-to-heart talk, and things will get better over time.”
"Ah, Dad, if you like someone, if you don't like it at the beginning, you will never like someone. Anyway, I won't get married." Su Qianqian glanced over her head angrily.
"Qianqian." Ma Sufen stopped, "I don't want to get married now. If it's later, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married even if I want to. The wedding date has been set, so just listen to my mother's advice..."
Su Qianqian said bluntly: "Then break off the engagement."
"Cancel the engagement?" Su Minghe and Ma Sufen were both shocked, and even the old housekeeper Huang Jiuping behind them could not help but change his expression slightly.
Because they all know the consequences of breaking off the engagement.
Over the past few years, the two chambers of commerce have been relying on this marriage to balance their interests, so as not to fight bloody battles over various business matters.
If there is no such thing as this marriage, will both parties suffer in the future?
Su Minghe took a step forward and comforted: "Qianqian, your father and mother understand how you want to break off the engagement. But do you know what it means to break off the engagement? The Jidu Chamber of Commerce comes from evil forces in the world, and they have a beautiful look in their eyes. Don't let any sand. The situation has reached this point. If you want to cancel the engagement, it will be equivalent to setting yourself up for trouble. That will bring trouble to our Su family. I have nothing to do with you, mother and father. The main thing is you. What will happen in the future? What to do? Qianqian, you have to think about the long term."
"Long term? You all know the long term all day long. Have you ever considered me? I know that if I break off the engagement now, it will bring trouble to the family. I also know that my marriage to Zhang Jingchen is to restrain the relationship between the two families. But I am your daughter, doesn't my happiness matter? If you don't retreat, then I will retreat myself." After saying that, Su Qianqian turned around and ran out of the study in tears.
"Qianqian?" Su Minghe called out hurriedly, but to no avail. He just watched his daughter run out of the study sadly.
The scene fell into a bit of silence for a while.
Su Minghe sighed silently and looked at Ma Sufen: "Sufen, could it be that we didn't think carefully?"
…
After running out of the study, Su Qianqian didn't stop for a moment. She ran back to her room angrily and threw herself on the quaint bed.
In fact, it's not that Su Qianqian doesn't want to get married, she just doesn't want to marry someone she doesn't like, let alone become a tool for the two families to maintain their interests.
If the other person is someone she likes, no matter what obstacles are in the way, she will pursue it without hesitation.
It's a pity that the other party is not what she likes.
Su Qianqian tossed and turned on the bed and thought about it for a long time, getting more and more angry. Suddenly she suddenly sat up from the bed and called her personal maid Xiangni in.
Su Qianqian seemed to say something in Shanni's ear, and then Shanni ran out of the door quickly.
