When she heard Su Jinyue enter her room, Song Yiren endured the pain and got out of bed. She was out of sorts all day today and kept wondering if anything would happen between Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, while they were together. Now that Su Jinyue was back, she absolutely had to interrogate her, else she would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.
As Su Jinyue walked out of the room, Song Yiren’s room door, which was next to hers, opened at the same time. She turned her head and cast a glance at Song Yiren, before heading towards the kitchen. Nowadays, she and Song Yiren had nothing to talk about.
“Su Jinyue!” Song Yiren relied on one leg and hopped in front of Su Jinyue to stop her.
“What’s the matter?” Su Jinyue asked indifferently. Since they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, there was no need for her to be nice to Song Yiren.
“Where did you go with Big Brother Zhan today? What happened between the both of you?” Song Yiren stared at Su Jinyue intensely, looking as though she was censuring her.
Su Jinyue sneered derisively. “What does that have to do with you? What rights do you have to ask all these questions?”?What a joke. Who does she think she is, Yihan’s wife?
“Because I like Big Brother Zhan, and because I’ll become Big Brother Zhan’s wife in the future,” Song Yiren said confidently. She had already set her heart on Big Brother Zhan and would definitely marry him.
Su Jinyue scoffed. She bypassed Song Yiren and headed towards the kitchen. She said, “Big Brother Yihan will come and propose marriage tomorrow, but his partner is me. You should just give up early.”
“You’re lying!” Song Yiren shrieked in disbelief.?This is impossible, I don’t believe it!
“Believe it or not.” Su Jinyue uttered languidly and stopped paying attention to Song Yiren. Anyway, she was going to find out tomorrow.
Song Yiren’s nails dug deeply into her palm, causing sharp pain, but Song Yiren felt nothing. Indignantly gnashing her teeth, she stared at Su Jinyue’s leaving back and her gaze gradually turned vicious. “Su Jinyue, don’t be proud. I’ll never let you get away with it. Big Brother Zhan is mine.” Regardless of whether Big Brother Zhan would come to propose marriage tomorrow, she would find ways to sabotage it. She would never ever let Su Jinyue marry Big Brother Zhan.
Su Jinyue walked into the kitchen and saw Xu Tiansheng boiling water. “Teacher!”
Xu Tiansheng nodded, walked to the table and sat down. He said, “Come on over and have a chat with me.”
“Okay!” Su Jinyue walked to Xu Tiansheng’s other side and sat down.
“Jinyue, are you and Yiren having some conflict?” Xu Tiansheng asked. When they came back yesterday, he already felt that something was amiss between them. After listening to their conversation just now, he knew that he was right.
Su Jinyue pondered for a moment and nodded. She knew that Teacher would be sad, but letting him be mentally prepared earlier on would prevent him from being sadder in the future.
Xu Tiansheng’s brows knitted together as he asked, “Is it that boy from the Zhan family?” He really did not want the two sisters to fall out over a man, even though Zhan Yihan was indeed very outstanding.
“That’s not all of it. Teacher, I plan to attend night school,” Su Jinyue voiced out her decision. She did not want to face Song Yiren every day. Every time she saw her, she would recall the events in her past lives, which made her have the urge to strangle Song Yiren.
“Is it because of Yiren?” Xu Tiansheng’s brows knitted together more tightly. He had adopted both Jinyue and Yiren. To him, they were just like his own daughters. He was truly sad to see them fall out.
Su Jinyue shook her head and said, “I just want to enrich myself.” After setting up a company in her past life, she also self-studied and got admitted into university. Although diplomas were not that important in this era, she did not want to just waste time like that. Besides, she also wanted to find opportunities to make more money.
Xu Tianshang let out a long sigh. “That’s good too.”?Perhaps if the sisters are apart for a period of time, the conflict between them will vanish.
“Teacher, I want to rent a house in the city. Why don’t you come with me.” The person she was most worried about was Teacher. In her past life, Teacher had passed away out of the blue. She investigated this for a long time, but did not find the cause of it.
Xu Tiansheng shook his head. Seeing that the water was boiling, he stood up and walked towards the coal stove. “I’m used to staying here, and the villagers of Shangxin Village can’t do without me.” It had been more than twenty years since he arrived in Shangxin Village and he had already regarded this place as his home.
Su Jinyue stepped forward and said, “Teacher, let me do it.”
Xu Tiansheng handed the kettle to Su Jinyue and cautioned her, “Be careful, it’s hot.”
“Okay!” Su Jinyue took the kettle from him and went to the side. She opened the lid of the empty thermos, and poured the water into the bottle.
“Is the boy from the Zhan Family coming to propose marriage tomorrow?” Xu Tiansheng asked when he remembered the conversation between Jinyue and Yiren just now.
Su Jinyue nodded bashfully and replied to him, “That’s what he said.”
“Do you like him?” Xu Tiansheng asked.
Su Jinyue pressed her lips together and nodded shyly. “Yeah.”
“Since you like him, you should cherish him well. It’s not easy to meet someone you like in your lifetime.” Xu Tiansheng looked out the window, his thoughts drifting to the past. At that time, he had also loved a woman deeply, but because the other party’s family background was not great, his family had strongly opposed them being together. In the end, they were left with no other choice and chose to elope.
However in those days, without a referral letter, it was extremely difficult to do anything and no one dared to take them in.
Along the way, they had an accident and he fell into the river. By the time he woke up again, he was already here.
“Teacher!” Noticing the grief in Xu Tiansheng’s eyes, Su Jinyue gently patted him on the back. Teacher had never told her about his past. However, in her past life, she had read the diary that Teacher left behind. The diary was full of Teacher’s longing and love for his beloved woman, as well as a deep guilt towards her.
Xu Tiansheng shook his head and slowly walked towards his room. If he had not been so insistent back then, she would probably still be alive and well.
Looking at Xu Tiansheng’s lonely back, Su Jinyue let out a long sigh. Compared to Master, she was undoubtedly lucky. Not everyone had the same chance to have a do-over, so she should cherish her current lifetime and cherish him even more.
When Wang Meizhen saw Zhan Yihan come home, she heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the blood stains on his clothes and was taken aback. “Why are you injured? Hurry up and let me take a look.”
Zhan Yihan smiled and shook his head. “Don’t worry, it’s not bleeding anymore. I have a piece of good news to share with you.” The entire way back, he couldn’t help but be happy every time he thought about Jinyue, and he was dying to announce this piece of good news to the world.
“What’s the good news?” Wang Meizhen looked at Zhan Yihan’s chest worriedly.?The wound must be huge for him to have bled so much.?
“Jinyue accepted me already. Tomorrow, you can go to Dr. Xu’s place to propose marriage!” Zhan Yihan announced gleefully.
“Really?!” Wang Meizhen’s jaw dropped open in surprise.?My son is truly awesome.. He’s only been out for one day and already provided me with a daughter-in-law.
