Su Zhanpeng took a sip of the hot tea served by Xiaodong, savored it carefully, and then praised: "It is mellow and refreshing, with endless aftertaste. My sister really has good tea here!"
Su Lingfeng seemed to be coping and asked casually, "Does Third Brother know about tea?"
"No, I just drank casually..." Su Zhanyan smiled sheepishly.
"Third brother, what do you want to say to Lingfeng? Just tell him." Su Lingfeng didn't want to waste time on meaningless topics, so he went straight to the topic.
"Uh..." Although Su Zhanyan already had a little understanding of Su Lingfeng's younger sister's temperament, he was still a little uncomfortable with her straightforward way of speaking.
Su Lingfeng didn't care how embarrassed Su Zhanyan was, she just stared at him quietly, waiting for his next words.
"Ahem..." Su Zhanyan coughed slightly to ease the awkward expression on his face, then put down the tea cup, looked at Su Lingfeng, and said seriously: "Fifth sister seems to be very prejudiced against the Su family?"
"Yes." Su Lingfeng gave Su Zhanyan a positive answer without hesitation.
She thinks that Su Zhanyan's question is nonsense, and her rejection of the Su family is obvious, and anyone with eyes can see it.
Su Zhanyan sighed softly, "The Su family... used to neglect my sister and owe me too much..."
Su Lingfeng said coolly: "I, Su Lingfeng, am not the only one that the Su family has neglected. The situation of other Su family members who have no use value to the Su family is not much better than mine." Su Lingfeng paused, and then
He continued: "Of course, this is the survival rule of a big family. I don't mean to complain about anyone, and I don't want to break this rule. It's just that others are others and I am me."
Su Zhanyan frowned, "What do you mean...?"
Su Lingfeng told Su Zhanyan clearly: "I will not be used by the Su family. I couldn't before, I don't want to now, and I won't even do it in the future."
"Do you want to leave the Su family?" Su Zhanyan's frown deepened.
Su Lingfeng did not deny it, "When I have this opportunity, I will seize it." Su Lingfeng looked into Su Zhanyan's eyes and added: "So, if you are here to advise me how to get along well with the Su family, how about
If you are well used by the Su family, there is no need to speak up."
"..." Su Zhanyan was choked and couldn't speak for a while. After a long while, she smiled bitterly and said: "I want to persuade my sister to get along well with the Su family, but I have no intention of letting my sister accept use..."
A faint sarcastic smile appeared on Su Lingfeng's lips, "Third brother, don't you think this is contradictory? If I were a useless person to the Su family, I might not even be able to open the main door of the Su family in any direction.
Don’t you know? Why do you think the head of the family and my father wrote letters urging me to come back? If I don’t do things according to their wishes, do you think I can get along well with the Su family? "
"This..." Su Zhanyan was silent for a moment, and then she said with some uncertainty: "Maybe...my grandfather and my father will not make a decision that my sister doesn't like..."
"Third brother should know that my sister is a high-level alchemist." Su Lingfeng said suddenly.
"Yes, I know," Su Zhanyan nodded and said seriously, "I am proud to have a sister as talented as Lingfeng."
After hearing Su Zhanyan's words, Su Lingfeng put down the question he wanted to say for the time being, raised the corners of his lips, and picked up Su Zhanpeng's words, "Oh? Really? What about before? I'm afraid the third brother is as ungrateful as Lingfeng.
Are you ashamed of your useless good-for-nothing sister?"
When Su Zhanyan heard this, his face turned red immediately and his expression was very uncomfortable, but he still said truthfully: "Although I have never met my sister before, I have heard some things about my sister. I just felt that my sister at that time... was too...
It’s too ridiculous…”
"I know that anyone who has such an unbearable sister would feel very embarrassed." Su Lingfeng smiled indifferently and continued the topic he mentioned before, "Are there any other senior alchemists in the Su family?"
"No..." Su Zhanyan laughed, "My sister is joking. There are not many senior alchemists or above in the east and west continents where the human race lives. I don't know if the Su family has such a senior alchemist as my sister."
How many pairs of eyes are staring at the Su family."
"Then third brother said, will the head of the family and father ask me to serve the family and improve the overall equipment of the Su family?" Su Lingfeng asked.
"This... I should be able to..." Su Zhanyan said.
There was a senior alchemist in the family. As the head of the family, my grandfather, and my father who wanted to compete with his eldest and second uncle, how could they allow Su Lingfeng to idle here and waste her alchemy abilities?
"Then... what if I don't want to?" Su Lingfeng asked again: "What will the head of the family, father, and other Su family members think of me? How will they treat me?"
Su Zhanyan looked at Su Lingfeng and asked puzzledly: "Why is my sister unwilling to alchemy for the Su family?"
Su Lingfeng's lips showed a sarcastic smile again, "Why should I be willing? Because my surname is Su? So I must be used by the Su family unconditionally?"
Su Zhanyan was speechless again. The topic had returned to the previous one, about whether he was being used by the Su family or not.
Who would be willing to let a person who has been abandoned by the Su family for more than ten years come back to work for the Su family because he has value?
Su Zhanyan asked himself, if he were Su Lingfeng, would he be willing to do it? With this kind of hypothetical question, he really didn't know whether he would accept the Su family in the end, but there would be resentment in his heart, that was for sure.
"I want to ask Third Brother another question." Su Lingfeng said again.
"you say."
"In more than half a year, I will be seventeen years old, but I have already reached the age to get married. Do you think the Su family will allow me to make the decision on my own regarding this marriage?" When talking about his life-long events, Su Lingfeng said:
His face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, and he didn't look shy at all.
Su Zhanyan was very surprised by this. She looked at Su Lingfeng blankly for a long time before replying: "My grandfather makes the decision on the marriages of sisters in the family. How could my sister make the decision on her own...
…”
Speaking of this issue, Su Zhanyan sighed in her heart again, let alone the marriages of sisters in the family, even boys like them, who can choose their lover by themselves...
