The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 517: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (56)

What Wu Wenyue had her eyes on was the Xie family behind Xie Wanru and the dowry that she might bring to the Cao family in the future.

With in-laws like the Xie family, there is no need for "funding" from the Su family anymore.

Of course, there are other reasons for choosing the Xie family. Her son Cao Shixun also grew up with a Western education, and Xie Wanru would have more common language with her son.

At the most critical moment, Xie Wanru's father Xie Zongyao had been optimistic about the Cao family and was willing to cooperate with them.

There seems to be no more solid model of cooperation in this world than marriage.

Before this, Cao Shixun had been studying in Guangcheng, and Xie Wanru also went to study in Beicheng, so the Cao and Xie families had only reached a preliminary agreement.

The specific situation should be decided after each other's children have met each other.

Xie Zongyao and Xie Wanru's mother were in a free love relationship, so he also hoped that his daughter would really like Cao Shixun before considering getting married.

As the year draws to a close, Su Xiangran is about to return to Jincheng with her brother Su Yanqing to celebrate the New Year, but her uncle Cao Ce tells them to stay a few more days.

"Xiao Ran! There will be a dance at my uncle's house in a few days, you and your brother can come together." After Cao Ce came out of the military camp, he did not return to the Cao Mansion immediately, but came to the Su Mansion, "Your cousin is going to have a blind date that day.

If the blind date is successful, he will get engaged after a while, and your parents will also want to attend the engagement party."

"Uncle, it's almost Chinese New Year." Su Xiangran frowned slightly and said, "The time is too tight."

"It doesn't matter. We don't know whether your cousin and Miss Xie will be attracted to each other!" Cao Ce said this, but his smiling eyes showed his determination to win. The Xie family must be "tied" to the "warship" of the Cao family no matter what.

"Uncle, don't worry. My cousin is so outstanding. Miss Xie will definitely like him." Su Yanqing looked at Cao Ce and comforted him.

Seeing that they couldn't refuse, the Su siblings had no choice but to agree.

"Brother, what should we wear on the dance day?" Su Xiangran suddenly remembered that she had been in Haicheng for several years and seemed to have never attended such a dance.

Before, Song Chengjing had prepared a children's dress for her to wear to the ball, but it hadn't been worn for a few years and was no longer wearable.

And her brother is even more weird. He seems to always wear school uniform, and his casual wear is a long gown.

Just when the two were struggling over whether to go shopping for clothes, their "good friend" Song Chengjing came to their rescue.

"Don't you have anything to wear for the ball?" Song Chengjing looked at the brother and sister who were struggling face to face in the study room. "What results can you get from thinking about such a problem in your room? This is not an academic problem. Just look up the information and do some calculations."

Song Chengjing said as he pulled Su Xiangran up: "Xiaoran, I'll take you to buy suitable clothes. I guarantee that you will be the most beautiful one in the audience that day."

"You can only lie to my sister." Su Yanqing said unhappily, "The day of the dance was a blind date between Miss Xie and our cousin. Xiaoran was only ten years old, at most she was just a little girl."

"I don't care about others. In my eyes, Xiao Ran is the prettiest one." Song Chengjing looked at Su Yanqing critically, "How come you, as a brother, don't you think your sister is the prettiest?"

"That must be it!" Su Yanqing replied with a strong desire to survive.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they came to the place where Song Chengjing often ordered clothes.

I have to say that Song Chengjing is worthy of being a young master from a noble family. As soon as he spoke, the store owner expedited the order for the Su brothers and sisters.

Su Yanqing ordered a suit, but Su Xiangran did not choose a princess dress, but a classic children's cheongsam. Considering the temperature, she also added a matching woolen coat.

A pink and white base with auspicious cloud patterns made of silver silk thread, and a bright red woolen coat on the outside. This is the clothes that Su Xiangran chose herself.

Although there were no ready-made garments, after seeing the proportions of the sample fabrics, Song Chengjing praised directly, "Xiao Ran has a good eye!"

Su Xiangran, who is usually very modest, always feels inexplicably proud when receiving his praise.

Looking at the clothes Su Xiangran picked, Song Chengjing had an idea and chose a piece of cloth of similar color to Su Xiangran's to make a shirt. He also said that he would take this shirt together with the Su family, and he would also wear it on the day of the stage.

"Brother Ajing, are you going to the dance too?" Su Xiangran was a little confused at this moment. The Cao family also invited people from the Song family to the blind date party. Isn't this looking for a love rival for Cao Shixun?

Song Chengjing knew Su Xiangran quite well. When he saw the look in her blinking eyes, he knew what she was thinking.

"Don't let your imagination run wild!" Song Chengjing stroked Su Xiangran's hair, "Although everyone knows that this is a dating party between the Cao and Xie families, in order to avoid embarrassing the parties involved, other young men and women will still be invited.

Let’s not talk about the others, isn’t your brother also among the invited guests?”

"So it's a group blind date meeting!" Su Xiangran said with sudden realization, and then her eyes swept uncontrollably over Song Chengjing and Su Yanqing, the hidden meaning was obvious.

Song Chengjing couldn't help but sighed: "Your brother and I are both planning to study abroad, so we won't consider personal issues for the time being."
