Chapter 729: Chapter 729: You’ll keep it a secret for me, right? Chapter 729: Chapter 729: You’ll keep it a secret for me, right? South Market?
There aren’t many shops in South Market, but there are more residences. Most of the wealthy families live there, as Su Yunjin seemed to recall Gu Ya mentioning.
He said that Wu Xinxin’s family home was also in South Market. Hongyun Building is the Wu Family’s restaurant, yet the Wu Family’s residence isn’t on this street–it’s in South Market where Wu Xinxin’s home is.
The more Su Ningxiu spoke, the more Su Yunjin felt that the man surnamed Wu must be related to Wu Xinxin’s family. Besides, the fact that the other man didn’t specify where his home was to her second sister Su Ningxiu was certainly fishy. Her sister Su Ningxiu might be gullible, but Su Yunjin was not so easily fooled.
Once Gu Ya returned, Su Yunjin planned to ask him to help her inquire about the man surnamed Wu to see which family in town he truly belonged to,
and whether he really was connected to Wu Xinxin’s family.
“Little sister, you would be happy for your second sister if she found someone she likes, right?” Su Ningxiu asked Su Yunjin with a hopeful expression.
At this point, Su Yunjin couldn’t say anything unpleasant and simply nodded with a forced smile, “Of course,” if her second sister Su Ningxiu really had found someone who liked her.
If that man truly was dependable and treated her second sister well, Su Yunjin wouldn’t need to say anything–she would definitely be happy for her sister Su Ningxiu. However, if the man had ulterior motives,
or different designs, Su Yunjin would not be able to be happy for her sister Su Ningxiu. Judging from the situation her sister Su Ningxiu had described, Su Yunjin felt that the man didn’t genuinely care for her sister. If he did, he wouldn’t have been vague about even his place of residence,
without telling her second sister.
The matter between Su Ningxiu and that man was not yet settled. Before Mr. Wu formally proposed to the Su Family, Su Ningxiu hoped that her little sister Su Yunjin would keep it a secret.
That was also why Su Ningxiu had come to see Su Yunjin alone today–she didn’t want others to know about Mr. Wu’s interest in her.
Otherwise, without an official betrothal, such private interactions between the two would attract gossip if they got out. Plus, there were her parents, Su Zhongshi and Mrs. Shen. Su Ningxiu knew they were honest farmers with traditional, conservative views, and after the scandal involving Su Xiaofu and Fan Wenxuan,
her parents would certainly see Mr. Wu as a frivolous and wasteful rich playboy
and would never agree to their union.
“Little sister, I’ve only told you about this, so you’ll keep it secret for your second sister, right?” Su Ningxiu and Su Yunjin had been close since childhood; there were things Su Ningxiu didn’t want to tell others but was always willing to tell her little sister.
Plus, last time Su Ningxiu had promised her little sister that if she found out who the man was, she would tell her. Su Ningxiu had confirmed that the man who had sent something to their home was Mr. Wu.
Thinking of her little sister, Su Ningxiu went to Su Yunjin’s house. Initially, Su Ningxiu didn’t know that Su Yunjin had opened a stall in the market; it was neighbor Auntie Song who had told her.
Only then did Su Ningxiu find her way here.
Su Ningxiu’s face flushed with shy embarrassment. Since the issue concerned her second sister’s reputation, Su Yunjin definitely wouldn’t recklessly spread the news before the matter was clarified.
She would wait until she and Gu Ya had investigated the true situation and learned the specific identity of Mr. Wu. Only then would she consider other plans for her second sister Su Ningxiu.
