Chapter 271
Side Story 1 (1)
The wall clock in the living room pointed to three o’clock in the afternoon. Last night, it snowed all evening, and when Su Yuanzhou woke up, he could see a vast expanse of white outside through the window, while the inside of the house was warm. Su Yuanzhou rubbed his eyes. It had been a long time since he woke up so late.
Ever since he started living with Old Master Yang, he had been waking up around six o’clock in the morning almost every day. The old master had many things to teach him, not just about business matters, but also taking him to meet old friends. The grandfather and grandson were not as distant as before, and they would even tease each other.
In the earlier days, Su Yuanzhou inevitably made mistakes, and the old master would often say, “How can my clever self have such a foolish grandson like you!” Su Yuanzhou didn’t accept it at the time, but the more he resisted, the more mistakes he made. It wasn’t until he caused enough trouble and received a tongue-lashing that he learned his lesson and began to learn real skills.
Yang Xue treated him as a tool to please the old master and didn’t care about how he was doing in the Yang family, but the old master genuinely liked him and was willing to teach him things. As he got up, Su Yuanzhou stretched lazily and habitually opened his phone to search for any recent activities.
After all, Su Qiuge had finally returned, and many places in Nanli had changed. It had been a long time since he last saw her, so it was natural to take her out to have some fun. Of course, there was no need to invite that pest, Xie Xinglin. They could just leave him there. If he dared to resist, they could bring up his past actions and shut him up.
While thinking about this, Su Yuanzhou cheerfully opened WeChat. Then, he saw 99 unread messages that almost bombarded him. He widened his eyes in disbelief. The latest message was from Gao Jing:
“What the fuck. Yuan ge, your sister and Xie Xinglin got married?”
Married? Who married whom? Su Yuanzhou almost instinctively thought he was seeing things. Or maybe he was still asleep, dreaming. And this was clearly an undeniably nightmare.
He pinched himself hard, letting out a painful cry, completely waking up from the remnants of his dream. “What the fuck, this shit is actually true!”
His sister got married, and he was the last to know!! He jumped up from the couch and fiercely slammed his phone onto the ground.
“Xie, you son of a bitch, I’m going to kill you!!!”
When Su Yuanzhou arrived for dinner, he exuded an undeniable murderous aura. Gao Jing, who had arrived early, noticed him but pretended to be dead silent. Han Ming was playing PUBG with Wen Mingming.
Wen Mingming kicked Han Ming hard and exclaimed, “You fucking hit and killed my mother with your car!! Are you stupid, Han Ming??”
Han Ming didn’t back down either and retorted, “Don’t you know I’m the king of mountain road racing? Dare to question my driving skills??”
Witnessing this chaotic scene, Su Yuanzhou slammed his hand on the table, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “What the hell are you guys messing around with?”
At that moment, Wen Mingming glanced at him, as if finally noticing his presence, and smiled, “Oh, someone has angered our Yuan ge. Look at his face, all wrinkled up.”
Su Yuanzhou choked and ignored her, turning his head towards the two individuals in their positions. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “When did this happen?” Everyone knew what he was referring to.
At that moment, Su Qiuge moved closer to Xie Xinglin, snatched the fruit he had picked for her, and said, “Just this morning. I even sent you a message, but you didn’t reply.”
Upon hearing Su Qiuge’s response, Su Yuanzhou felt completely abandoned by the world. His eyebrows furrowed, and with an expression of disbelief, he questioned, “No, you guys are just fooling around! This is all just child’s play! You’re playing house with the marriage certificate, right?”
Su Qiuge, on the other hand, calmly took out the marriage certificate from her bag, blinked at him, and said, “You probably haven’t seen it yet, have you? Take a look.”
Taking a deep breath, Su Yuanzhou put on a disdainful expression, cursed a few more times, but in the end, couldn’t resist and reluctantly accepted the certificate.
While looking at it, he sighed and said, “This is fucking sudden, it’s like you’re playing a prank on me.”
Su Qiuge then stated, “What’s sudden about it? He proposed to me last night. I said yes. The next day, we went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Han Ming then shrugged his shoulders and echoed, “Exactly, it’s a natural progression of events.”
Wen Mingming nodded in agreement, “I thought Su Yuanzhou was the most open-minded among us, but who knew he still held such conservative and feudal thoughts.”
Han Ming couldn’t help but add, “Look at you, just now. You sounded like a landlord father who found out his daughter was marrying a factory worker from Baotou, and then became indignant, saying, ‘Fooling around!’ ‘How disgraceful!’ ‘It’s just child’s play!'”
Xie Xinglin, at this point, looked at Han Ming coldly, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Factory worker from Baotou?”
Han Ming stuttered, “…”
