453 Eldest Brother, Su Xing
“That’s enough, Daddy! How long are you going to lie to us with these ridiculous words? I want An Le. Even if I don’t have to be the eldest son of the Su family, I still want to be with An Le!” Su Xing said, the redness in his eyes still present.
His expression was firm, but his eyes were filled with pain and disappointment. “Didn’t you say it yourself? I’m not your only son, but there’s only one An Le in this world!”
As Su Xing spoke, he let go of An Le’s hand and took a step closer to Su Zheng. His eyes were moist as he looked at his father, who he had never disobeyed since he was young. He said bitterly, “Just treat it as your heart aching for me this time and let me off, alright? Dad, I’ve never begged you for anything!”
Su Zheng was originally furious at Su Xing’s previous words. He didn’t expect Su Xing to be so bold as to say that he wanted to be with An Le even if he didn’t want to be the young master of the Su family. Was Su Xing really bewitched by An Le?
However, in the next second, he looked at his eldest son, whose eyes were red, and was begging him with a heart-wrenching look. His heart ached slightly.
In fact, Su Zheng’s education of Su Xing, the eldest son of the Su family, was indeed the strictest and highest.
There were many things that Su Zheng had forced upon Su Xing, so many that he didn’t need his other sons to share some of the pressure and responsibilities of the family! Su Xing was an extremely outstanding successor, and also a very friendly and qualified elder brother. He had satisfied all the outstanding fantasies of a powerful and controlling father by himself.
He was calm and wise, and had always been successful in business. He was considerate and friendly to others, and almost no one in the business circle would praise and admire him insincerely when they thought of him! Of course, they wouldn’t forget to envy and praise Su Zheng for teaching his son well!
Su Xing’s excellence and obedience seemed to have made Su Zheng forget that he was a living person with his own thoughts, not a puppet that would be controlled and commanded by his elders.
In the six months that An Le had been sick, Su Xing didn’t tell anyone his pain. He didn’t want his beloved family to see his weakness. Apart from worrying and feeling sad for her, he couldn’t resolve anything.
However, the reason why he saw hope in the situation was because of his sister, Su Qing.
His sister was like a pure and brave angel. Oh, no! Or rather, she was like a fighter! Su Xing saw many things in her that he didn’t have, such as the spirit to resist control and oppression, as well as the courage to pursue casual desires and true joy.
When Su Xing was at Floyd’s school anniversary, he seemed to have felt something from the song “Impudent” that his sister and fifth brother were playing. Although he had never passionately expressed his love for this song, he couldn’t hide his feelings.
Su Xing slowly came to a realization. He realized that he shouldn’t live his life according to the rules. His father had always objected to his marriage with the An family. Although he had always tried to resist, he hadn’t made up his mind!
The real turning point of all of this was that Su Qing had expressed that she could do her best to help him that night. Su Xing had never felt that way before. For no reason, he chose to believe Su Qing. He didn’t want to lose An Le just like that, so he resisted!
Su Xing felt that even if he wanted to follow the rules, he could only abide by his own rules! He wanted to have An Le for the rest of his life. With An Le, he might be able to be really happy!
Su Qing naturally didn’t know that her return and appearance would have so many chain effects on her eldest brother. It was even to the extent that a fire was lit in Su Xing’s heart! A raging fire that yearned for freedom and love!
The beautiful and smart girl was only concerned about her eldest brother, who looked extremely fragile and sad, with tears in his eyes.
She echoed, “Even if there are necessary consequences to bear, that’s just Eldest Brother and Sister An Le’s matter. Outsiders like us can’t bear anything for them. Could it be that Eldest Brother’s life and happiness can’t compare to your selfishness, Daddy? All these years, don’t you feel touched and heartbroken by what Eldest Brother has done for the family and the life-and-death entanglements and pain he and Sister An Le have experienced?”
