The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 551: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (9)

At this point, Wu Wenyue and her son Cao Shixun successfully achieved their cooperation goals.

In the next few days, when Su Xiangran came to check on her, her attitude had obviously improved a lot.

He no longer loses his temper as easily as before, and occasionally shows his amiable side.

This is actually not difficult to understand. Wu Wenyue knows in her heart that she needs to be patient at the moment and wait for Su Xiangran to become her son's woman in the future, and then she will naturally let her do whatever she wants.

She was not worried at all that Cao Shixun would be dissatisfied at that time, because the men in the Cao family have never been loyal.

Her husband Cao Ce is like this, and her son Cao Shixun is probably no exception.

Su Xiangran naturally also noticed the changes in Wu Wenyue. After returning home, she carefully checked the timeline of her previous life. She couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart. She always felt that this aunt seemed to want to cause some trouble.

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, Wu Wenyue has been in the hospital for half a month and is finally able to be discharged.

During her hospitalization, Cao Shixun came to the ward almost every day and stayed for two hours.

Moreover, he basically came every morning when Su Xiangran was making rounds. On the surface, he seemed to be very concerned about his mother's condition, but in fact, he would ask a lot of personal questions about Su Xiangran every time.

However, Su Xiangran repelled them one by one. Later, Wu Wenyue was discharged from the hospital, and Cao Shixun no longer had an excuse to pester her, which made Su Xiangran feel relieved for a while.

Two months passed like this, and the Cao family began to send out invitations, inviting many wealthy families in Haicheng to attend Cao Ce's birthday banquet at the International Hotel.

Of course, as the in-laws of the Cao family, the Su family also received this invitation.

"Xiao Ran! It's your birthday, what should we give you as a gift?" Cao Wanning looked at the invitation and felt worried.

In fact, it was called a birthday party, but it was just an opportunity to make money, otherwise everyone in Haicheng who could be called would have received the invitation.

The situation has been bad in recent years, and people have to rely on people with guns for protection, so many people, faced with such "extortion", have no choice but to pay money.

It's just a matter of how much he contributed, Cao Ce of Haicheng is still considered good.

Marshals from other places sometimes have to celebrate their birthdays several times a year, and their family members also take turns to celebrate, so there are still many wealthy families willing to stay in Haicheng.

The tigers in the East Mountain eat people, so there may be tigers in the West Mountain. It just depends on which one is less aggressive.

Su Xiangran read the post and felt quite emotional. The Su couple could still discuss with her what gift to give. In the previous life, they had already died in Jincheng, and the original owner was helpless. Then...

Wait, a banquet? In the previous life, wasn't the original owner "tied" to Cao Shixun because of Wu Wenyue's conspiracy at a banquet?

No wonder, the last time I looked at the timeline, I always felt that something was happening. It turned out that it was waiting for me here!

No, she can't sit still and wait for death!

Su Xiangran thought of this and walked out.

But Cao Wanning suddenly said, "Xiao Ran, you're going out at this late hour?"

Su Xiangran then remembered that it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. She just smiled awkwardly and said, "I just thought about going to the party and I didn't have any new clothes, so I thought about buying some and forgot the time."

"This kid! I remember you have a day off tomorrow, right?" Cao Wanning said with a smile, "I'll go with you, and we can both buy some."

"Yeah! Okay!" Su Xiangran nodded and went back to her room.

The next morning, as soon as Su Xiangran and her mother Cao Wanning arrived at the door, they ran into Song Chengjing who came to look for Su Xiangran.

When Su Xiangran saw him, she was delighted and asked, "Brother Jing, why are you here?"

"Aren't you taking a day off today? I haven't hung out with you for a while, so I came over to take you out for a walk!" When Song Chengjing wanted to reach out to hold the other person's hand, he realized that Cao Wanning was also there. He could only put his hands behind his back to hide his awkwardness.

Cao Wanning looked at her daughter and Song Chengjing, pretending to be unhappy and said, "What's wrong? You're so unhappy about taking me with you when you go out to buy clothes!"

"How can that be possible! Auntie!" Song Chengjing quickly denied, "We welcome you to go with us!"

After saying that, he immediately opened the door of the back seat of the car and said attentively: "Come, I will be your driver today."

Cao Wanning nodded with satisfaction and got into the car first.

Su Xiangran had no choice but to follow her mother to sit in the back seat of the car. When she passed Song Chengjing, she could clearly feel his frustration.

Where her mother and Cao Wanning couldn't see, Su Xiangran pulled Song Chengjing's hand, but immediately took it back before the other party came to his senses.

This time, Song Chengjing was also happy. After Su Xiangran got in the car, he closed the door, happily sat in the driver's seat, and drove the two of them to the shop where the Song family had always customized clothes.

As soon as Su Xiangran entered, she saw two people - Wu Wenyue and Xie Wanru.
