The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 492: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (31)

"Madam Su, don't worry." Song Chengjing was the first to break the silence and explained to Cao Wanning, "Today I took Xiaoran out for a stroll.

I originally wanted to help Brother Yanqing tidy up his dormitory, but when I got there, I found that his room was almost full of manuscripts and other items.

I'm afraid only he can keep these personal belongings in good order. If someone else messes with them, it will easily mess them up."

After hearing this, Cao Wanning stopped asking the reason and just smiled and thanked Song Chengjing: "Thank you for taking good care of my Xiaoran today, Mr. Song. I hope she didn't cause you any trouble."

"Mrs. Su, you are too kind. Xiao Ran is very well behaved and lovely." Song Chengjing responded with a bright smile on his face, "During this trip, Xiao Ran listened attentively to me talking about the rules and regulations of the academy without crying or making a fuss. Her manners are much better than those of ordinary girls."

"That's great." Cao Wanning knew her daughter Su Xiangran's personality very well, so she believed what Song Chengjing said.

At this time, Song Chengjing quietly winked at Su Xiangran and gently stroked his clothes.

His meaning was very clear: buying new clothes was a secret between the two of them and Cao Wanning must not be told about it.

Su Xiangran understood what she meant, and immediately looked at her mother with innocent eyes and said, "Mom, Brother Song and I had a great time today!

Brother Song also told me a lot of things about school!"

Cao Wanning smiled and nodded, then turned to Song Chengjing and said, "Mr. Song, thank you for playing with Xiaoran. If you are free in the future, I hope you can come to our house often."

"Of course, of course." Song Chengjing agreed readily, and after a few more pleasantries, he stood up and said with a smile, "Time flies so fast, it's getting dark. Brother Yanqing should have packed his things, I'll go in and call him out.

Besides, I will arrange for someone to escort you to your new residence, and it is a good opportunity for me to go with you and get familiar with the place."

Cao Wanning smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement: "That's great. I'll have to trouble Master Song once more."

After Song Chengjing turned and left, Cao Wanning cast his gaze towards Su Xiangran beside him, his eyes full of doting and love: "Xiaoran, what do you think of this Mr. Song?"

Su Xiangran blinked her big, lively eyes, thought for a moment, and then replied in a sweet voice: "Brother Song is great! He is handsome, gentle and kind, and he is also very good at telling stories! Every time I listen to him tell those strange stories, I find it so interesting~"

Cao Wanning was secretly delighted when she heard this. It seemed that her daughter had a good impression of Song Chengjing.

It’s a pity that Song Chengjing is about the same age as his son Su Yanqing, which means he is about ten years older than Su Xiangran.

By the time Su Xiangran gets to the point of getting married, Song Chengjing might have already married.

I'm afraid my daughter is not lucky enough to have such an excellent son-in-law!

Thinking of this, Cao Wanning couldn't help but sigh softly.

Su Xiangran didn't know what her mother was thinking. She could only think that she was sighing because she was going back to Jincheng soon and was reluctant to leave them.

Not long after, Su Yanqing, Song Chengjing, and the people who had helped them carry their things arrived at the school gate together.

"Mother, Xiaoran, I have already packed everything here, let's go!" Su Yanqing said.

Song Chengjing followed him, found a few rickshaws and let them get on. Of course, the people who carried the luggage also got on the rickshaw with Dongxi.

The group of rickshaw drivers were not very willing to take them because the journey was too short. They would arrive at the destination before they even started running, so they would not be able to earn much money.

But there were more of them and they wanted more cars, so we finally agreed.

Several people got in the car and set off for Su Xiangran's new home.

What they didn't know was that not long after they set off, Cao Shixun, who had received the news, also came towards the school gate, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only see the shadow of their rickshaw.

And because of the restrictions of school rules, he didn't even leave the school, let alone things like seeing him off or going together.

Although he knew that Song Seung-kyung was helping his aunt's family, Cao Shixun couldn't help feeling inexplicably angry.

Besides, Su Yanqing stood at the door of the newly built "Su Mansion" and felt a little bit unbelievable. He thought the house his mother found would be a Chinese-style courtyard, but he didn't expect it to be a three-story building.

"Do you like it? This is a gift from your uncle." Cao Wanning asked his son Su Yanqing with a smile, "Your uncle also gave you a small building, but it's for your sister."

"It's what she should do." Su Yanqing did not have the idea that women should not have property. Instead, he felt that having a property under Su Xiangran's name was the best protection for her.

The well-informed Song Chengjing already knew that Cao Ce had given each of the brother and sister a house, so he was not too surprised.

"Congratulations, Brother Yanqing, on moving into a new house." Song Chengjing looked at the house and said, "This three-story building is big enough for you and your sister to live in, but you will need to hire some more servants."

Fearing that Song Chengjing would ask to send someone over, Su Xiangran hurriedly said, "Brother Song, my mother has made arrangements. In a few days, Nanny Hong from our hometown will come over to help take care of us brothers and sisters."
