Chapter five hundred and ninety first: I believe in Aning
Su Qingchen walked out angrily and slammed the door. As she turned around, she almost bumped into someone. She suddenly raised her head and saw her eldest brother's handsome face.
"Brother..." Su Qingchen's heart skipped a beat and she felt so weak that she didn't know if he heard the conversation between her and Xia Ning in the room.
Su Ye helped her and pulled her downstairs.
"Brother, why aren't you down here playing cards with grandma?" Su Qingchen tentatively asked Su Ye, hoping for a chance.
Su Ye didn't answer her question, went down to the second floor, and pulled her into her boudoir.
Su Qingchen thought it was over, he must have heard this gesture.
Su Ye closed the door with his backhand and walked straight towards the small living room.
Su Qingchen followed weakly, speaking in a low voice: "Brother..."
"Sit." Su Ye raised his finger and pointed at the small sofa.
Su Qingchen sat down obediently like a child who had done something bad and was caught by an adult.
"What are you arguing with Aning?" Su Ye just came up and only heard the last two sentences. He didn't know what they said before.
"My sister-in-law and I didn't quarrel." Su Qingchen resisted stubbornly, feeling that she could still save her. Her brother seemed not to have heard the previous conversation.
Su Ye's gentle eyes reflected a touch of sharpness, and his voice was not as normal as before: "Do you want to say it yourself, or should I check it out?"
Su Qingchen felt a little scared when she saw Su Ye's eyes darkened. Although her brother doted on her, as long as Xia Ning was involved, her status would have to be moved to the back.
Su Qingchen, who knew that his status was not as high as that of Xia Ning's, chose to tell the truth, hesitantly telling the story about Zuo Ang being parachuted into the Procuratorate's Enforcement Section as section chief, and deliberately concealing the scene between Xia Ning and Zuo Ang in the teahouse.
Zuo Ang...
Su Ye had not heard this name for seven years. It seemed as far away as a lifetime ago. It came out of Su Qingchen's mouth again suddenly. Su Ye felt that his mind was confused, just like when he learned from Su Qingchen that Xia Ning had a boyfriend.
Similarly, knowing that my sister would not joke about this kind of thing, there will be an instinctive resistance deep in my heart.
Su Qingchen was very worried about his brother and asked weakly: "Brother, are you... okay?"
Su Ye shook his head stiffly.
Su Qingchen felt sorry for her brother and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
"What to do?" Su Ye asked, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
"Should we transfer Zuo Ang or my sister-in-law?" Su Qingchen said, "Is it possible to let them work together?"
Su Ye suddenly realized that this was what his sister was asking about. He shook his head slightly: "No need."
"It's useless!" Su Qingchen glared: "Are you relieved?"
"I believe An Ning." Su Ye said.
"I don't believe it." Su Qingchen muttered softly.
Su Ye glanced at her with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "You are not allowed to interfere in the affairs between me and Aning anymore."
Su Qingchen lowered his head and said nothing.
"Did you hear that?" Su Ye's voice became a little deeper, with a somewhat commanding tone.
Su Qingchen raised his head and said, "I know, brother, that you are afraid that your sister-in-law will be angry and don't want to do anything that would make her hateful, so let me do it. Anyway, I already did it once seven years ago, so I might as well do it again.
"
"Didn't you hear I said no?" Su Ye's face turned cold now.
Su Qingchen was so aggrieved that she almost cried: "Brother, you are cruel to me, and you are cruel to me. I am not doing it for you."
As soon as Su Qingchen's voice changed, Su Ye couldn't bear to look coldly at her. He softened his face and voice slightly and said, "This is the relationship between Aning and I. The more you interfere, the more chaotic it becomes. I have a sense of propriety, you
Don't make trouble, okay?"
Su Qingchen pouted, as if he was being criticized.
Su Ye stood up and walked over, gently rubbing her head twice: "Good boy, whether it's a relationship or a marriage between Aning and I, I have always been the one taking the initiative and forcing it. I want to see it this time too."
Who will she choose?"
Su Qingchen was surprised. She raised her head and looked at her brother. She really wanted to ask him, are you serious? Don't you know that if you give Xia Ning a choice, the last person she will choose is you? How fragile is the relationship between you?
, don’t you have any idea in your mind?
Brother, are you overestimating your position in Xia Ning's heart?
Su Qingchen was complaining crazily in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything for fear of hurting her brother's heart.
Su Ye didn't say anything more to his sister, patted her on the head and went out.
After coming out of Su Qingchen's room, Su Ye looked down from the second floor and saw Xia Ning playing cards with her grandma. When her grandma talked to her, she always had a smile on her face and looked the same as usual.
.
Su Ye looked at Xia Ning's smiling face, and her heart felt as if a bottle of five flavors had been knocked over. It was indescribably complicated.
Xia Ning played a few rounds of cards with Grandma Su downstairs and deliberately lost a few cards to Grandma Su. Grandma Su was the big winner tonight and was happily helped by the servant to rest.
After Grandma Su went to rest, Mother Su took Xia Ning and gave her all the cash in her and Father Su's drawers.
"Mom?" Xia Ning was puzzled.
"Mom knows that you lost to grandma on purpose, so your dad and I will make up for you." Mother Su said with a smile.
Su's father also said: "Take it."
Xia Ning didn't answer and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, all I lost was Aye's money. He is not short of pocket money."
"Mom knows." Su Mufei wanted to give her money: "You, don't just focus on work, go shopping with your friends on weekends. It's summer, you should also buy some new clothes and jewelry."
Xia Ning couldn't refuse the kindness, so she had to accept the money, nodded and said, "I'll ask mom to go shopping together when I have time."
Su's mother said hello: "It's getting late, go and have a rest."
"Good night, parents." Xia Ning said good night to her parents-in-law before going upstairs.
When Xia Ning returned to the room, she didn't see Su Ye, and she didn't care. She thought Su Ye had gone to the study, so she went to take a bath first. She didn't see Su Ye when she came out, so she simply went to bed first.
When Xia Ning slept until midnight, she turned over and tilted her long legs up to Su Ye's body out of habit. As a result, she tilted her legs up in the air and was suddenly woken up. She opened her eyes in a daze but did not see Su Ye.
The other half of the bed was still neat and tidy, and it didn't look like someone had slept on it.
She raised her eyes and looked at the small clock on the bedside table. It was already half past one in the morning.
"It's so late." Xia Ning muttered, feeling very sleepy, but still struggled to get up and shouted: "Su Ye."
The room was empty except for her own echo, not Su Ye's shadow.
Xia Ning felt a little strange. She opened the quilt and got out of bed. She searched around the room but couldn't find anyone. After thinking about it, she walked out of the room and went to the study.
The door to the study room was not locked, so Xia Ning opened it with just one twist. She pushed open a crack and poked half of her head inside. The study room was also dark, but there was a desk lamp emitting a slight light.
In the bright light, she could see Su Ye sitting behind the desk, with her back to the door. She didn't know whether she was asleep or thinking about something.
