Chapter 527: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (66)
"Dad, are you okay?" Su Xiangran's face was full of worry as she looked at Su Weichen's slightly embarrassed face.
Just now, he had vowed that he would never allow his daughter to learn medicine, but in the blink of an eye, he was saved by her. Such an embarrassing situation really made Su Weichen unable to speak.
However, he chose to remain silent, which made Su Yanqing anxious and uneasy.
Su Yanqing looked nervous and asked anxiously, "Dad, how do you feel? If you can't even speak, could it be that you have had a stroke?"
Hearing this, Su Weichen's expression, which had originally been slightly relaxed, turned ashen again, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily several times.
This subtle change happened to catch Su Yanqing's attention. He became more and more convinced that his father might have really had a stroke, so he hurriedly stood up and prepared to shout.
"Brother, father is safe and sound." Su Xiangran felt helpless and sighed inwardly. Although her brother was very smart in academics, he seemed to always lack some maturity in dealing with people.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cast her gaze towards Song Chengjing standing beside her, thinking that there are only a few people in the world who can be called talented and all-round talents!
"Alright, alright, let's all go!" Cao Wanning and Su Weicheng had been married for many years, so of course she could see his embarrassment, so she spoke up to help him out, "Your father is in such a bad condition now, let's talk about some things later!"
After saying that, he was about to help Su Weicheng back to their yard.
"This matter cannot be delayed!" Su Yanqing became anxious when she saw that there was no follow-up. "The recommendation letter has a time limit. If it is over, my sister's efforts will be in vain."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Cao Wanning pursed his lips and said slowly, "Your father is tired today."
Su Yanqing wanted to say something, but when he saw his father's tired expression, he swallowed his words back.
At this time, Song Chengjing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly grabbed Su Yanqing's sleeve and said softly, "Don't rush at this moment. Even if Uncle Su agrees now, the cruise ship going abroad will not depart until a month later.
By then, if there is still no result, you can leave Xiaoran to me, and I will take good care of her. When the time is right, I will arrange for her to go abroad with me to meet you."
After hearing this, Su Yanqing was very grateful.
He knew that Song Chengjing was a man of loyalty, and that he was willing to help him this time, so he must have sincerely wanted to help himself and his sister.
However, Su Yanqing was somewhat confused as to why Song Chengjing was so eager to help.
What does this person want?
But at the moment, he had no time to take care of these things. The most urgent task was to convince his parents to allow his sister Su Xiangran to study abroad with him.
The next morning, the sun shines through the curtains into the room.
Su Yanqing got up early and went to the living room after washing up.
At this time, his parents were already sitting in the hall waiting for him.
"Dad, Mom, about my sister going abroad with me to study..." Su Yanqing took a deep breath and prepared to persuade his parents again.
However, before he could finish, Cao Wanning interrupted his son and turned to Song Chengjing and said, "Master Song, this is our Su family's family affair after all. Could you please step aside for a moment?"
"Of course I can avoid it, but before that I have a few words to say to you two." Song Chengjing bowed to the Su couple, "From what I heard from you two yesterday, it was nothing more than your fear that studying abroad would delay Xiaoran's marriage.
In the end, they were just afraid that she would have no one to rely on in the future. As the saying goes, "Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run." I think the love and care that the two of them showed to Xiao Ran is very touching.
So I am willing to relieve your worries.”
"Master Song, what do you mean?" Su Weichen listened to a lot of things he said, but didn't understand what he meant.
Cao Wanning had already heard from his daughter about how the two of them got along, and after hearing what Song Chengjing had just said, he had some vague guesses in his mind.
"First of all, regarding Xiaoran's study abroad expenses, I can help her." Song Chengjing immediately explained, "It's not that I don't trust the Su family's financial resources, but my fiancée wants to study abroad, so it's only right for me to contribute."
"What fiancée?" Su Yanqing seemed to understand what Song Chengjing wanted to do. "Xiao Ran is only twelve years old. What do you want to do?"
"My meaning is very simple." Facing the anger of his "future brother-in-law", Song Chengjing was very calm. "Aren't you worried that Xiaoran won't be able to get married in the future? I can get engaged to her now, which can also be regarded as a bottom line for her.
No matter what happens in the future, I will always be her support in this life."
"Nonsense, my daughter is only twelve years old, why would she get engaged!" Cao Wanning didn't agree with this matter, "Besides, there is a ten-year age difference between you and Xiaoran, there are too many unstable factors involved."
"I know that if I'm the only one talking about this, it will seem insincere." Song Chengjing's expression began to become serious and solemn, "If the Su family agrees, I can ask the elders in my family to come and propose marriage.
Xiaoran can go abroad with me as my fiancée. I know twelve years old is a little early, but we must get engaged first.
I can wait until Xiaoran turns 18 before talking about marriage."
"Eighteen years old? Humph! By then, you will be twenty-eight. Will your family agree?" Cao Wanning didn't quite believe what he said.
