Chapter 231 Deliberately to please
Su Chen comforted Bai Shouren and his wife in the room, then ended today's medical consultation in Bai Mansion and said goodbye.
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Ning asked Bai Susu to send him off in person so as not to neglect the talented and famous Mr. Su.
Of course, the matchmaking meaning is also obvious.
Today, Su Chen is simply a money tree and a life-saving herb to the Bai family. He is too important.
If he hadn't appeared, the Bai family might have faced the fate of disintegration, turning from a first-rate family in Jiangzuo to a second-rate family. It was even possible that Bai Susu would eventually sacrifice her personal happiness and marry the Ding family in order to make things better.
All of this was due to Su Chen's help, which saved the day and stabilized the Bai family's situation. It even pushed the Bai family's strength a step further and headed toward the top of the nine major families.
Bai Susu accompanied Su Chen through the courtyard and towards the door of the mansion.
The domestic servants, long-term workers, part-time workers, maids, and mothers-in-law along the way all bowed respectfully when they saw Miss Bai. Bai Susu's face was indifferent and she never took a look, because she only had Su Chen in her eyes at the moment.
Su Chen glanced sideways and asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?"
Bai Susu said without hesitation: "Susu was thinking, why did you always hide your clumsiness in the past? You have so many abilities, but why were you so miserable in the first place?"
Su Chen thought about it and felt that this question was really difficult to explain.
In the past, he could make excuses, claiming that he was worried about being targeted by the court, and that as the son of a criminal, he had to keep a low profile because they didn't understand each other well. But now, the more Bai Susu knows about his abilities, the more he feels that the gap between Su Chen before and now is too big.
, not like the same person.
Su Chen said with a half-smile, "I don't want to pretend anymore!"
"What do you mean?" Bai Susu asked.
Su Chen smiled and said: "In the past, I just wanted to live the life of an ordinary person, taste the sufferings of the world, let myself take root in the working class, disperse the family wealth, and then start from scratch, and then gain wealth through my own efforts.
And fame, this kind of life is full of legends!"
"Is there such a person?" Bai Susu felt puzzled.
Su Chen laughed and said: "Why not? Li Taibai, the poet of the former dynasty, wrote in his poem, 'The talents I have given me will be useful, and I will come back again after all the money I have spent.' In this rolling world of mortals, life is a game, if a young man does not experience troughs,
If you don’t go through some ups and downs, your will will not be hardened. This is a road of self-grinding! There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, underestimate me, despise me, hate me, and lie to me. I can tolerate them all.
It’s a method of experience!”
Bai Susu was stunned for a while as she listened, as if she felt that Su Chen's words were a bit mysterious, like a Buddhist meditation.
Seeing that she had been deceived, Su Chen secretly laughed in his heart, but said seriously: "By the way, you have to be prepared for the medical fee of 100,000 yuan. Once your father is cured, the silver reward will be cashed in!"
Bai Susu glanced at him and suddenly said: "I kind of regret paying so much for the consultation."
Su Chen said nervously: "That won't work. A gentleman's words are hard to follow, so you can't go back on your word!"
"I'm a little girl!" Bai Susu smiled.
Su Chen shook his head and smiled. He was not worried that she would regret it, because the Bai family, the old school and the middle school were all waiting for him to save her, and there were also some business dealings. Bai Susu would not be stingy with the one hundred thousand yuan, which would lead to a crisis in mutual trust.
"I believe Susu is an honest leader!"
Bai Susu snorted lightly and said nothing. She was probably thinking about which one was more important, the hundred thousand coins or integrity.
When Su Chen approached the gate, he suddenly asked: "Tell me, if I really marry you, how much dowry money can the Bai family give you? Is it hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
When Bai Susu heard this, she was extremely shocked. She didn't expect that Su Chen would make this joke to tease her.
When she really thought about the possibility of marriage, Bai Susu, who had always been calm and indifferent, couldn't help but flush her cheeks. With a hint of shyness and resentment, she rolled her eyes at him and hummed: "If you don't have a penny, you can marry me or not!"
"Haha, then I'll think about it again!" Su Chen was a little dumbfounded.
"Consider it again?" Bai Susu said with a cold face: "Humph, I still have to consider whether to marry or not. Besides, who would want to marry you?"
The two bickered happily and soon arrived at the gate of Bai Mansion. Su Chen waved goodbye to her, then got into the carriage and went to Su Mansion under the protection of several servants.
Since Su Chen was currently at odds with the Ding family, Su Chen always brought a driver and bodyguard with him when traveling to prevent further attacks and kidnappings.
Bai Susu stood at the door, looking at the carriage that was getting away. Thinking about the topic she just talked about, she felt a little incredible. She would start a quarrel with him over the issue of marriage. Is this still Bai Susu, who is always known for being calm and wise?
………
Not long after Su Chen returned to the mansion, a carriage drove outside the door, and Xu Qingwan and Zhou Jiamin came to visit.
Seeing this pair of talented women, Su Chen really had a headache. It was difficult enough to communicate with Xu Qingwan, a beautiful and talented woman. He racked his brains to answer her various communication questions, and now there was an eccentric person.
, Zhou Jiamin, who is full of romantic feelings, makes him even more distracted!
The key is that Su Chen can't ignore them like he did before, because he wants to keep Zhou Jiamin and make her like living in Runzhou, using romance, poetry, songs, and novel things to seduce her.
She, don't let her go back to the Jinling Palace. : :
He understands the development of history and knows very well that now that Zhou Jiamin has returned to the Jinling Palace, she and Li Yu will be a raging fire, which will aggravate the condition of the seriously ill Zhou Empress and kill her!
Therefore, Su Chen now treats Zhou Jiamin as if he were his girlfriend, taking special care of her and trying his best to satisfy her requests.
"Mr. Su, at dusk, there will be a scene of the Peony Pavilion in the Xiangyun Pavilion. Du Lijuan's soul wanders to a foreign land and she meets the scholar Liu Mengmei by chance. Let's watch it together!"
Zhou Jiamin smiled and extended the invitation.
Since Su Chen's identity was exposed, he has not been to Xiangyun Pavilion, nor to other brothels, nor to the gifted banquet. He has stayed at home completely, and refused to see guests for the reason of preparing for the imperial examination in autumn. However, he was invited by Zhou Jiamin today.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and decided to make an exception for her.
As long as Zhou Jiamin is happy, he will risk it all.
Su Chen responded: "Well, I haven't seen the Peony Pavilion's performance with my own eyes. I just want to go watch it today. By the way, I will take you behind the scenes to meet Liu Huadan."
"That's great!" Zhou Jiamin clapped her hands and smiled, very satisfied with Su Chen's cooperation.
Xu Qingwan looked at Su Chen from the sidelines and felt that his attitude towards Zhou Jiamin was obviously higher than towards her, and there was something almost flattering about him.
This has never been seen in the treatment of other women. Is it possible that Su Dacai, who has always been indifferent to emotions, is attracted to the second young lady of the Zhou family who is only fourteen years old this time?
It shouldn’t be!
