The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 581: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (12)

Although Xie Wanru believed deep down that Su Xiangran marrying into the Cao family might be a good thing, at least it could make Cao Shixun more well-behaved.

However, whenever Xie Wanru learned that Cao Shixun had hit a wall with the other party, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Great! I never thought that Cao Shixun would get what he wanted. God is really merciful.

Since he couldn't be with the one he loved, he deserved to suffer as much as he did.

However, sometimes when Xie Wanru was forced into a corner by Cao Shixun, she had to bring her children to the Su family to test the Su couple's attitude and even create some opportunities for Cao Shixun.

"My cousin is here!" Su Xiangran greeted her with a fake smile, and said stiffly, "The situation outside is turbulent at this time, so it's best to reduce going out as much as possible."

How could Xie Wanru not know that Su Xiangran was dissatisfied with her behavior just now, but she could only respond with a thick face: "There is a special car to pick us up, there is absolutely no problem with safety, and the young commander will come to take us home later."

When Su Xiangran heard that Cao Shixun was coming, her mood became even worse.

Xie Wanru pretended not to notice Su Xiangran's expression and enthusiastically wanted to pull her to chat: "Xiao Ran! How is your work in the hospital recently? Are you busy?"

Su Xiangran answered a few perfunctorily, then said that she was going back to her room to change clothes, then got up and left the courtyard garden.

"This child is probably tired after a day's work." Seeing that his daughter was not giving Xie Wanru face, Cao Wanning quickly tried to smooth things over, "Not to mention being with you, she doesn't even come back often. Since the Song family gave her a small apartment near the hospital,

Sometimes she gets so busy that she doesn’t come home for a few days. Last time I didn’t see her for half a month. I only saw her once after I went to the hospital to make an appointment with her.”

"Madam, you are exaggerating a bit." Madam Hong joked, "It was obviously you who felt unwell last time, and you said you didn't trust anyone but Miss, so you went to make an appointment with her."

Seeing that he was exposed, Cao Wanning was not annoyed, but looked proud: "What's wrong, my daughter is a famous doctor, I trust her."

"Yes! Everyone knows how capable cousin Xiaoran is." Xie Wanru also followed Cao Wanning's words and said, "Cousin is almost 20 years old, what plans do you have, cousin?"

Cao Wanning knew what the other party was thinking, but she didn't want to marry her daughter into the Cao family.

Who could understand the men of the Cao family better than myself!

Before you get it, everything is great, but once you get it, it is common to discard it like a worn-out shoe.

The most important thing is that given his daughter's appearance and her increasingly strong temperament, even if Cao Wanning agreed, her brother Cao Ce would not agree.

Who would like to have a "ruler" hanging over their head for no reason, even if they just look like them?

Su Xiangran lingered in the room, and only came out when it was almost dinner time.

At this moment, she had changed out of her usual modern clothes of shirt and trousers that she wore to work and put on a loose round-neck cheongsam in Chinese style.

As soon as she walked into the restaurant, Su Xiangran felt a passionate gaze. She raised her eyebrows and saw that Cao Shixun, the "romantic young marshal", was sitting at the dining table of his home with a happy face, as if waiting for dinner.

"Cousin, are you at home today?" Cao Shixun was not polite at all. He patted the seat next to him and said directly, "Sit here! We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's chat."

"Cousin, you are joking. How can I sit next to you?" Su Xiangran laughed, "Your wife and concubine are here. I dare not sit next to you."

After saying this, Su Xiangran sat in the seat farthest away from him. Because it was a big round table, they were really far apart.

Cao Shixun obviously didn't want to see such a result, so he wanted to get up and move to the position next to Su Xiangran.

But as soon as he stood up, he saw Su Xiangran also stood up.

There seemed to be a sense of "if you change, I will change too". Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly awkward, Cao Shixun sat back reluctantly.

After an ordinary family dinner, both the host and the guests were basically happy. However, Cao Shixun wanted to bring up Su Xiangran's marriage several times, but the other party cleverly avoided the topic.

Such a development made Cao Shixun very regretful.

After dinner, Nanny Hong sent the Cao family out on behalf of the Su couple. Cao Shixun looked behind her several times, but did not see the person he wanted to see, and felt even more disappointed.

Seeing her usually cold and self-restrained husband looking distracted today, Xie Wanru couldn't help feeling a little pleased.

If you ask what love is in this world, it must be "one thing conquers another".

Live it!

But even though she thought so, she still had to do her part, so she reminded Cao Shixun, "Young Marshal, it's getting late, let's go back."

Cao Shixun then looked at Xie Wanru reluctantly, took them and his three children into the car, and went back to Cao's house.
