Su Ruixin was stunned upon hearing this. It took her some time before she snapped out of her trance. Su He’s incident might have been sealed off by Su Jifeng. Therefore, apart from Ye Yan and the rest of his group, Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong are the ones who had context about it.
Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong were not gossiping. They naturally would not take the initiative to mention Su He’s incident. Or perhaps, they thought that Su Ruixin already had knowledge about it. Therefore, they found it rude to bring up the topic. After all, it was not something good.
Regardless, judging from this situation, it was clear that Su Ruixin did not have the slightest bit of knowledge regarding Su He’s incident. As such, Zhao Youlin hesitated. The next moment, she quickly said, “It’s nothing. I left my belongings with Xiao He and have not collected them. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to reclaim it.”
Su Ruixin did not suspect her. She breathed a sigh of relief before she smiled and said, “Oh, that’s how it is. That’s great. Tingfeng should take you out to have a look. The Su family and the Mu family are a family. We often interact with each other.”
As Su Ruixin was saying this, she heaved a sigh and lamented, “Unfortunately, the wedding date was set too hastily. Your cousin, aunt and uncle happened to go outstation to handle some business, and could rush back in time. Furthermore, the Su family’s businesses are handled by Xiao He’s eldest brother so he was fully occupied and could not attend your wedding. You could go with Tingfeng and get to know the elders. By the time the rest come back, we’ll pay a visit to them.”
Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh of relief after learning that Su Ruixin did not plan to go with them. Given Su He’s current health condition, if Su Ruixin were to make a trip down there, Su He’s baby bump could not be hidden from her.
However, she found some clues from Su Ruixin’s words. It happened that the elders of the Su family were not at home. It was no surprise that the Su family and the Ye family remained so calm and peaceful on the surface at this period of time instead of fighting with each other.
On second thought, if the elders returned home, could they… In other words, could this be considered the calm before the storm?
While Zhao Youlin was thinking nonsensical stuff to himself, Su Ruixin had already called her several times, “Youlin… Youlin…”
“Huh, what?” Zhao Youlin snapped out of her daze.
“What are you thinking about? I’ve called you many times, and you didn’t respond to me.”
Zhao Youlin smiled. She casually found an excuse to put the matter off. “I was thinking about what type of gifts to bring to the Su family tomorrow. I’m sorry that I didn’t hear what you said.”
“So that’s how it is. You don’t have to be concerned about this. They don’t really care about this.” When Su Ruixin was saying this, she looked like she remembered something and added, “If you are really concerned about this, let Tingfeng prepare it on your behalf. They grew up together and understood each other’s hobbies very well. Ask Tingfeng to assist you with the preparation and I’m sure he won’t put you to shame.”
Zhao Youlin gave a nod, and they put aside the matter.
The next day happened to be Monday, Zhao Youlin went to the Su family after sending Joy to kindergarten.
The Su family’s main residence was situated on a relatively isolated mountainside, just like the Song family’s main residence where Su Qing currently resided.
The villa was gorgeous and spacious. Hard, steel wire fences surrounded it. These fences were engraved with elegant and beautiful patterns. It looked like a beautiful painting from afar.
Most people thought that the wire fences were purely for ornamental use. However, Zhao Youlin, who was an insider, noticed that the wire mesh was different from the general household kind of security net.
At the very least, the general household kind of security net was a burglar-proof network which could prevent burglars from barging in. However, it could not prevent high-tech tools. Meanwhile, the Su family’s outer layers of barbed wires were invincible to high-tech types of high-temperature fusion tools.
The large number of security guards outside the house were not inferior to those of the Song family. The villa was as safe as houses that not even a fly could penetrate through.
When they saw the car drive in, the people guarding the house outside remained expressionless. Zhao Youlin, on the other hand, could clearly see their tense bodies. Zhao Youlin was certain that if they discovered something unusual inside the car, these people would undoubtedly rise up and attack. They would kill the unknown danger in the cradle.
The driver’s window was slowly lowered. The person standing in the forefront immediately turned his head around and waved his hand at his companions, signaling them to open the door and let them in.
Zhao Youlin saw everything. She finally understood why Ye Yan looked so dejected when he mentioned that Su He had been taken back to the Su family. With this level of security, Ye Yan could not possibly sneak in, much less barge in.
The car slowly drove in for another fifteen minutes before Zhao Youlin finally saw the Su family’s main residence.
The Su family’s main residence was twice as big as the Zhao family. It looked more ancient, gorgeous with a touch of strong ancient charm. It was very different from the type of exaggerated and nouveau riche mansions that Zhao Youlin had imagined.
The car drove into the Su family’s private garage before it gradually stopped. Zhao Youlin exchanged glances with Mu Tingfeng and was not in a hurry to get out of the car.
Silence spread between them with a slightly abnormal taste. The uneasy atmosphere continued until Zhao Youlin took the initiative to speak.
“Tingfeng, don’t you think that this car is unusually heavy when it’s clear that there are only two people coming today?”
Mu Tingfeng turned his head around and looked at Zhao Youlin. There was a hint of a helpless smile in his eyes. “Perhaps, we have brought too many things over.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.” The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips curved upward and she looked like she had been enlightened.
After the baffling conversation, they reluctantly got out of their car.
By the time the couple walked out of the garage with piles of gifts, Su Jifeng had already rushed to them. Mu Tingfeng naturally stuffed the things which he carried in his hands into Su Jifeng’s arms.
Su Jifeng was taken aback. He carried the stuff in a flurry of motion and took two steps back before he asked quietly, “What’s going on?”
“Gifts for you.”
“Gifts?” Su Jifeng looked like he had run into a ghost. He had known Mu Tingfeng for many years, but he had never given him a gift.
In fact, they had once fought over a toy when they were younger. He unexpectedly lavished him with gifts today. Was this guy a different person now?
Su Jifeng was caught by surprise and cast a glance at Mu Tingfeng. Mu Tingfeng then gave a glance at Zhao Youlin standing behind him and Su Jifeng immediately understood everything.
He knew that Mu Tingfeng was a cold person in nature and wondered why he abruptly gave him and Xiao Xi gifts. When he saw Zhao Youlin, he knew that it was her idea.
Su Jifeng did not hesitate. He took over the gifts and stuffed them into the hands of the two subordinates behind him and instructed them, “Place them well in the young lady’s room.”
Zhao Youlin gave a smile. The fact that Su Jifeng was willing to receive her gifts also indicated that he had acknowledged her status as the current daughter-in-law of the Mu family..
