Chapter 550: Chapter 420: Hoarding Thousands upon Thousands for Natural Disasters, Raising a Child, I Let It Go 8_3
“Like a flower, as jade?” The young man’s eyes widened as he looked at Su Zhiruan, but seeing the smile play upon her lips, he knew she was teasing him, “Don’t joke around…”
Su Zhiruan glanced at her phone, ready to wait for their call and then give them a piece of her mind. Hearing Wen Qingyu’s words, she casually replied, “Okay, I’ll stop joking.”
After hearing her response, the young man became a tad flustered, stumbling over his words, “No… that’s not what I meant… I think it’s very good…”
As he spoke, he became somewhat indiscreet, his ear tips turned slightly red. He glanced at Su Zhiruan and then lowered his head, looking for an excuse to leave with the dishes.
Witnessing this series of small gestures, Su Zhiruan realized what was happening. Her eyes brimming with mirth, she suddenly grabbed Wen Qingyu’s sleeve.
In just a split second, she swiftly tousled his hair, then returned to her seat, still smiling.
“I know what you want to say; don’t be shy. I’m not some fierce beast that eats people.”
The young man nodded and, seeing Su Zhiruan’s phone light up on the table, he quickly stood up, “Your phone, I’ll go wash the dishes first.”
Watching his retreating figure, Su Zhiruan suddenly felt like she was a big bully teasing an innocent young man.
The Sons of the Plane from before, perhaps due to the power of the Heavenly Dao they carried, allowed Su Zhiruan to even discern a pattern from them.
That was to be composed, then to hold high positions of power, not to reveal too much emotion, and more often than not to be cold.
But the Wen Qingyu of this world was very pure, perhaps also due to his youth; after all, he had just turned twenty. At times, Su Zhiruan felt like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, teasing the young man and finding life relaxing and comfortable.
As for matters of the heart, they could take it slow.
After all, they couldn’t leave for the time being, and five years was more than enough to get to know each other.
Su Zhiruan picked up her phone, but to her surprise, she saw a video call request.
Without even thinking, she knew what it was about.
Their verbal defamation was nothing but a cracked defense, or perhaps they wanted to see for themselves how she was doing, whether she really took up with some old man.
Su Zhiruan no longer lived in the dilapidated old place. The Su family definitely had no idea that her current location was a mental hospital. Moreover, she had made renovations inside so that now, even with a video call, there was nothing to worry about.
She pressed the green button.
In an instant, Su Mingzhu’s face appeared on the screen.
“Little sister~” Su Mingzhu was not sure if Su Zhiruan would accept the video call. Seeing Su Zhiruan’s face suddenly, she could hardly believe her eyes.
The next second, when she saw Su Zhiruan’s face brimming with smiles, her eyes widened in shock.
In just a few short days, the once thin and somewhat dark Su Zhiruan had changed so much!
“Little sister… how have you changed so much all of a sudden,” Su Mingzhu, green with envy, lowered her voice and said, “You didn’t have plastic surgery to get close to those old men, did you?”
Su Zhiruan’s parents and Su Yaozu rushed over when they saw Su Mingzhu’s astonishment.
Once they all faced each other, Su Zhiruan’s father and mother were shocked.
“I don’t like plastic surgery,” Su Zhiruan touched her face, beaming, “Being this fair and delicate is also because I haven’t had to work these days, lounging at home, eating and drinking. Ah, three meals a day, plus afternoon tea, what if I get fat~”
After hearing her, the four members of the Su family clenched their fists at the same time.
Su Yaozu was the first to lose his patience; he smashed a plate with his hand and began to swear at the video, “Su Zhiruan! Are you shameless? Just for a few bites to eat, following some old man, without even a dowry. Now go find an old man and get my dowry!”
“Old man?” Su Zhiruan tapped on her phone and the image flipped to show the young man diligently washing dishes in the kitchen. Then, she nodded in affirmation, “Indeed, compared to you father and son, aren’t you two just old and ugly old men.”
Su Zhiruan’s mother tried to play the card of emotion, “Ruanruan… your father and I had our difficulties! We did everything for your own good. After all, you are flesh that falls from our body; you can’t just stand by and watch us die.”
Su Zhiruan’s father burst into a tirade, with Su Yaozu chiming in from the side.
But at that moment, only Su Mingzhu was completely stunned.
She held her phone, her grip tightening gradually.
As Su Zhiruan approached the young man and spoke to him from the side, Su Mingzhu got a clear view of Wen Qingyu’s face!
