Chapter 49: Let Me Be With You
After a few days of peace, one day Su Yue suddenly received a call from her mother.
She was stunned for a moment after seeing the caller ID, since she quarreled with her father last time and broke up unhappily, she hadn't thought about the Su family again, of course she knew that she would be trapped in this dilemma now, all because of her father's self-assertion back then, and even when she got married at that time, her father agreed to it.
She was completely shocked at that time, she didn't know that all this was planned by her family, she thought it was an accident, and at this time, as the culprit of the incident, she took the initiative to marry her, at least she planned to be responsible.
And at that time, she had already heard the name of the Lu family, and knew how wealthy the Lu family was, and when she heard the man who was irritable and gloomy, but still good-looking, said that he wanted to marry her, her heart still skipped a beat.
It's a pity that Lu Nanshi's purpose of revenge was too quickly revealed, and she soon knew that she was not married to a lover, and in a marriage where she was the only one, all she could rely on was her family.
That's why I reached out again and again, gave up my self-esteem again and again, and lowered my head to beg Lu Nanshi.
She always thought that the Su family was her final destination, so she always tried her best to protect her home, but now, ......
Su Yue was confused, she finally made up her mind now, she didn't want to be shaken by her parents' persuasion, and just when she hesitated, the call timed out and automatically hung up.
She breathed a sigh of relief, this is fine, she was determined and planned to ignore her family, but she could only ignore the phone calls from her family and couldn't stop the footsteps of coming to the door.
The person who came to the door was Su Ming, maybe he deliberately looked for Lu Nan when he was away, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly, calling Su Yue's name and asking her to come out.
Su Yue was taken aback, she didn't expect Su Ming to come to the door at all, but as soon as she heard his shouting, her head reflexively hurt, she seemed to have a premonition, what did she probably do this time......
"What are you doing here?"
But the person had already found the door, and she couldn't hide, so she had to show up.
"What do you mean by not answering your mother's call?" As soon as he saw Su Yue appear, Su Ming asked with a frown.
As soon as she heard Su Ming's tone, Su Yue felt irritated, and the familiar feeling made her already know what was going to happen next.
She asked succinctly, "What are you doing this time?"
Su Ming frowned when he heard this, and of course he understood the meaning of her words.
"What's your tone, and in your heart we're just making trouble for you?"
Su Yue twisted her head to the side and didn't speak.
"Look at you, you know it's a heartless one, Dad's birthday the day after tomorrow, you forgot?"
As soon as Su Ming said this, Su Yue woke up, her father's birthday, she has been staying at home for the past few days, she hasn't been going anywhere, and the days have passed day after day, and she really hasn't noticed what day or month it is.
So, her mother called her two days ago for this?
Thinking of her unhappiness with her father, Su Yue was a little awkward, and said in a stiff voice: "No, no ......"
"Hey......" At this moment, Su Ming suddenly sighed, and his tone became serious: "Xiaoyue, you said that you have nothing to quarrel with Dad, isn't Dad also for your good? If it goes well last time, maybe you will be able to divorce this marriage at this time, and Dad is reluctant to let you go, otherwise he won't think of this way, don't blame Dad." ā
Su Yue didn't know what her father bothered to organize the bureau for last time, but she was angry that he hid it from her, two years ago, and now, since it is a family, why can't she make it clear, if the family company really comes to a dead end, why is she the one who sacrificed?
"Okay, I've brought my words too, just remember to go home the day after tomorrow. After saying that, Su Ming stood up and left.
After Su Ming left, Su Yue sat alone on the sofa in the living room for a long time, feeling guilty and confused, she did forget her father's birthday, but she didn't think about whether to go back or not.
She hadn't thought about it yet, but Lu Nanshi got the news out of nowhere, and asked her about it when they had dinner together in the evening.
"The day after tomorrow is your dad's birthday?"
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Lu Nanshi to know, and after nodding her head in a daze, she said, "Hmm." How do you know?"
"The invitations are about to be sent all over the city," Lu Nanshi sneered, and then said, "I'll ask the assistant to send the congratulatory gifts, and I won't go." ā
Su Yue was a little surprised in her heart, according to Lu Nanshi's dislike for her family, she originally thought that he would never be willing to be involved in the slightest.
"Good. "But it's just right that he doesn't go.
On the same day, Su Yue still decided to go back, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't even go back on her father's birthday.
When I got home, I found that my home had changed.
The yard is decorated with balloon petals, and even the living room is decorated more festively than usual, and it is normal to have a birthday at home.
By the time she arrived, there were already a lot of guests in the house.
There were relatives she knew, and there were living people she hadn't met.
Her mother's eyes were sharp, and she saw her at a glance, and immediately came up to hold her hand, full of relief: "Yueyue, fortunately, you're back, you haven't answered your mother's call, I thought you were still angry with your father." ā
Su Yue really hadn't forgiven her dad yet, so she didn't speak, and her mom laughed helplessly when she saw her like this, and said, "No matter what, today is your dad's birthday, go and say hello to him." ā
As he spoke, he had already pushed her in front of her father, who had been talking to someone else, but when he saw her coming, his face changed slightly, and then he apologized to the person who was talking to him, and the man walked away.
"It's not that you don't answer the phone, what are you doing when you come back?" her father's tone was not good, and Su Yue saw that her father had no intention of repenting, and almost wanted to turn around and leave again.
"Okay, what are you doing with this stinky face when your daughters are back, there are still so many guests. Her mother hurriedly came out to be a peacemaker.
As soon as he said this, Su Qizhi's face looked a little better, but his tone was still cold: "Okay, just know to come back." Then he frowned again, "Why are you alone?"
Su Yue almost laughed, as far as her relationship with Lu Nanshi was concerned, he still expected her to bring Lu Nanshi over?
"He didn't come, he said he didn't want to come. ā
Su Qizhi frowned and looked at her for a while, then finally sighed and said, "If you don't come, don't come, I still have guests." ā
After saying that, he left, and when he walked away, Su Yue remembered that he hadn't had time to say happy birthday to him.
She laughed inwardly, maybe he didn't need it.
"Your dad is actually happy in his heart, don't look at him like that," her mother hurriedly came out to explain, and Su Yue smiled at her mother, telling her that she didn't need such a cover-up.
Seeing that Su Yue was still unhappy, Su Mu took her hand and said, "You come with your mother, there is still someone here who wants to see you." ā
Someone wants to see her?
Su Yue was a little curious, who could it be?
"You come with me. ā
Her mother took her to the back garden, which was more secluded than the bustling antechamber, and it was the same as before, and it was probably not intended to be used to entertain guests in the first place.
What did her mom bring her here for?
Before she could ask, she saw a man among the flowers.
It's Shao Dongqing.
Her mother smiled happily: "Dongqing specially instructed me, if you come, I must take you to meet him, Mom won't bother you, you can have a good chat." ā
After saying that, her mother slipped away, Su Yue didn't have time to stop her, yes, her mother probably thought she and Shao Dongqing were together at this time.
Su Yue hadn't contacted Shao Dongqing since the last call, and she had already made it clear to him on the phone.
But when she saw Shao Dongqing's real person, she felt that something was different.
"Long time no see. ā
In the end, it was Shao Dongqing who broke the silence between the two.
Her throat was dry, but she didn't know what to say.
The last time we saw him was at the funeral, he looked obviously haggard, and now he looks more energetic, and a well-fitting black suit makes him more upright.
just persuaded him not to go against her and Lu Nanshi, and he couldn't even say anything more, so Su Yue let himself speak: "Well, long time no see, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, what about you?"
"I'm also fine," Su Yue smiled, the relationship with Lu Nanshi during this time was indeed unexpectedly smooth, no matter how many tricks Lu Nanshi had, it didn't get to the point of having new tricks every day, although he was very tired, he also had enough time to rest.
"Really?" Shao Dongqing looked obviously unconvinced, and then followed her face, and his eyes fell on her stomach.
She felt his gaze and turned to the side a little awkwardly, her face a little ugly.
Shao Dongqing had already walked up and said, "Is there already his child there?"
Su Yue was instantly embarrassed and ashamed, not knowing why Shao Dongqing would talk about this, and said in a panic, "What are you talking nonsense", while hiding back in a hurry.
But Shao Dongqing's steps were big, and he came to her in a few steps and hugged her.
Then the voice said eagerly in her ear: "You don't know, you don't know at all, I can't even sleep these days, I can't even sleep these days, I am so anxious when I think of you, but I really can't do anything, Yueyue, I thought that when I took over the Shaw Brothers, something would change......"
Su Yue originally wanted to struggle, but finally calmed down in his words, so she just let him hold it.
Shao Dongqing's hand pressed on her stomach again, and the movement was light, as if she was afraid of hurting something.
"Tell me, is there already his child here?"
But no matter what, Shao Dongqing's words still embarrassed Su Yue, she broke free from his arms, the night wind blew, and her face was hot like a fever.
Now she also stammered: "IāI don't know, don't ask me like that, okay?"
"I thought about it," at this moment, Shao Dongqing suddenly said with a serious face, "I can wait, wait for you to give birth to a child, I can't leave you at this time, if you are still alone when you give birth to a child, it will be cruel to you, so I am willing to wait." ā
Su Yue was completely stunned, she opened her mouth speechless, but hot tears poured out first, "But, but ......"
"No need," Shao Dongqing hugged her again, and said, "And didn't Lu Nanshi also agree, he can have a new girlfriend, why do you want to be alone, let me accompany you, okay?"
Holding his arms is so powerful, and his arms are so warm, as if he can block all the cold wind, and the greed of the moment made Su Yue not push away this embrace.
"Sorry to excuse me......"
But just when they were holding each other and couldn't give up, a hesitant female voice came from not far from their side.
"I seem to be lost, can you tell me the direction of the bathroom......"
Su Yue was awakened by the voice, and hurriedly got out of Shao Dongqing's arms, just about to answer the man's question, but was stunned after seeing the owner of the voice.
And Lin Man's eyes widened, looking at Su Yue with surprise.
Su Yue's face flushed instantly, she didn't think about why Lin Man was here at all.
At this time, Shao Dongqing also recognized Lin Man, and compared to Su Yue's panic, he was much calmer: "Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ā
Lin Man also met Shao Dongqing at the Shao family's cocktail party, and it was not easy to ignore Shao Dongqing when she said hello like this, but her surprise was revealed in her voice: "You, hello, you are ......"
"Ah, I see," after only a moment's pause, Lin Man said in a tone of sudden realization, "The last statement was false, right?"
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, and didn't react to what she said, but Shao Dongqing seemed to be clear, and directly admitted: "Yes, that statement is just a stopgap measure." ā
"Haha, I'll just say it," Lin Man quickly laughed, with a bright smile, "But at that time, I had to use this method, you were too careless, and you were photographed, so you had to make this kind of statement," and then showed a puzzled expression, "So what are you now?"
Shao Dongqing stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Su Yue's waist and swore sovereignty with full meaning: "Yes." ā
Lin Man's face flashed a hint of understanding, and then there was a full smile, "I have long heard that Nan Shi and your marriage is not out of true love, but now it seems that it is not bad, you have your knight, I have my prince charming, I can also understand Oh, women, there must be a man to love to be beautiful." ā
Rao is Su Yue was mentally prepared, and she was also shocked by her words, she asked in disbelief: "Don't you feel disgusted?"
"Disgusted?" Lin Man's face was full of confusion, "Why? Anyway, you and Nanshi have no relationship, isn't it your freedom to fall in love with whom?"
Lin Man said it so naturally, but it left Su Yue with nothing to say.
"Oh yes, I still have to go to the bathroom, Yueyue, this is your home, you know where the bathroom is, can you please help lead the way?"
"Forehead......" Su Yue hesitated a little, glanced at Shao Dongqing beside her, Shao Dongqing gently pulled her, as if she was still worried about her being alone with Lin Man, so she said, "I'll take you back to the front hall and find a nanny at home to take you there." ā
"So reluctant?" Lin Man couldn't see what Shao Dongqing was thinking, and said with a smile: "Afraid that I will bully your girlfriend?"
Shao Dongqing's face sank, obviously not believing.
"Don't worry," Lin Man continued, "I still expect her to give birth to a healthy child, how can it hurt her, if you don't feel at ease, let's go together." ā
In fact, Su Yue couldn't tell whether what Lin Man said was true or false at this time, but obviously Lin Man hadn't noticed that his words revealed a more shocking fact.
Shao Dongqing frowned, "You also know that she is going to give birth to Lu Nanshi?"
Shao Dongqing asked this, but Lin Man showed a surprised expression first, looked at Su Yue and said, "It turns out that you haven't explained it to him yet?"
Su Yue had a headache, and Shao Dongqing's gaze made her feel heavy.
In the end, Lin Man came out to explain: "That's the case, I'm a dancer, and I don't want to destroy my body because of having children, so I don't plan to get married and have children until now, but who knows that there is such an opportunity, Nanshi is also an excellent man, so I plan to try it with him." ā
Seeing that there was still some confusion, Lin Man said: "Otherwise, I'll come to pick me up later, and the four of us will talk about it together, I think for the future, we really need to make some rules." ā
Shao Dongqing's brows furrowed when he heard this, as if he couldn't accept such a fact, and Lin Man couldn't wait any longer, "So can you take me to the bathroom now?"
Anyway, Lin Man was also a guest, so Su Yue had no choice but to say hello to Shao Dongqing, ask him to wait for her, and then take Lin Man to the bathroom.
"Very nice man," when Su Yue took Lin Man to the bathroom, Lin Man suddenly spoke, Su Yue was stunned for a moment, couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong." ā
"What misunderstanding? Could it be that you still want to lie to me, and you accidentally fell into his arms?"
Su Yue's face was flushed, she was seen by Lin Man, and she probably couldn't hide it, and Shao Dongqing had already generously admitted it.
She had no choice but to remain silent.
"I don't mind," Lin Man continued, his voice sounding sincere, "as long as you give birth to Nanshi's child, and if you don't give birth to a child, you can't divorce Nanshi, right?"
She was stunned, and in Lin Man's light tone, she didn't think that she already knew everything.
"Is the bathroom here? Can you wait for me, I really think the four of us need to have a good talk. ā
Su Yue didn't leave, she felt that Lin Man was right, the four of them needed to talk, if they really planned to go on like this in the future.
In just a few minutes standing at the door of the bathroom, Su Yue herself felt amazing, obviously saying that she wanted to give birth to a child, she was still defeated by Shao Dongqing's gentleness, it was she who was despicable, and Shao Dongqing was persistent.
And if it can go smoothly and have a good result, it is also an attempt.
Later, Lu Nanshi really came to pick her up as Lin Man said, Su Yue felt ridiculous, he said that he couldn't come to her father's birthday banquet, but he could come over because of a woman's phone, it seems that he really took Lin Man to heart.
After Lu Nanshi arrived, he was slightly surprised when he received Lin Man and saw Su Yue beside her, but he only said hello: "You are also there." ā
"Hmm," she nodded.
Here, Lin Man naturally put his arm on Lu Nanshi's hand and smiled at him.
Lu Nanshi immediately noticed her strangeness and asked her, "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Man was still grinning and said, "What do you guess I just saw?"
"What?"
"Just now," Lin Man said with a smile, as if drunk, and spoke like a song, "I saw Yueyue hugging a man. ā
Su Yue was taken aback, she didn't expect Lin Man to use such a disturbing statement, she hurriedly said, "It's Shao Dongqing." ā
But he didn't expect Lu Nanshi's brows to furrow: "Shao Dongqing?
"You already knew?" Lin Man exclaimed before Su Yue, "I thought I was the first to know." ā
Lin Man's voice was coquettish, and he immediately diverted Lu Nanshi's anger, and asked her softly, "What else do you see?"
"I want to discuss something with you," but at this time, Lin Man's voice became serious, and Lu Nanshi also listened to her words with a serious face.
"I think we're all together, we can't bully Yueyue, anyway, you have no relationship with her, it's too pitiful to bind her, and she also has the right to find her own happiness. ā
Su Yue didn't know how to put her expression for a while, Lin Man was really thinking about her, and she really forgot to tell Lin Man, she had already obtained permission from Lu Nanshi.
And Lin Man's tone sounded like it was really for her to negotiate with Lu Nanshi.
"You mean you can accept them as well?"
"Right...... Uh, what do you mean? You already know?"
"So that means you're agreeing too?" Lin Man finally asked.
Lu Nanshi nodded.
Then Lin Man returned to Su Yue's side and said, "It's okay now, Nan Shi also agreed, you go and call Shao Dongqing over, and the four of us can have a good chat." ā
Su Yue still felt a little weird, as far as Lu Nanshi and Shao Dongqing broke up unhappily last time, it was best not to let them meet at this time, she was a little hesitant, at this time Lu Nanshi said: "You go, we really need to have a good chat." ā
Su Yue had no choice but to call Shao Dongqing over, Su Yue still felt awkward about such a development, but Shao Dongqing looked eager to try, and later he told Su Yue that he had wanted to talk to Lu Nanshi for a long time.
So the four of them gathered together, but the occasion was still a little inappropriate, the birthday banquet was just halfway through, and it was not yet time to leave. Originally, Lin Man just wanted to sneak away, so he secretly asked Lu Nanshi to come and pick him up, but Lu Nanshi's face was so popular that he couldn't stay longer.
"I know of a secluded place, a bar owned by an old friend of mine, with a private room that won't be disturbed and has a lot of privacy. ā
Lin Man deliberately mentioned privacy, I don't know if he was talking about the last time they were eating out and was photographed.
After deciding on their destination, the group was about to set off, but there was an argument over which car to take.
Lu Nanshi came to pick up Lin Man, and the car seat was naturally reserved for her, and Shao Dongqing didn't want Su Yue to get into Lu Nanshi's car.
In the end, Su Yue sat in Shao Dongqing's car, and Lin Man sat in Lu Nanshi's car.
"I'll see you later. Lin Man beckoned to them.
Su Yue may still be hesitant, but Shao Dongqing is already imperative, and soon followed Lu Nanshi's car and arrived at the destination.
