This was not the first time Su Xiangwan said such words to himself, but he had never been so solemn, let alone so domineering.
The same goes for Qin Chuan. In his life history, he has always been the one to protect others. Has he ever experienced being protected by others?
Now a woman stood in front of him and told him seriously: You are my man, so I want to protect you.
Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing when he saw the firmness on Su Xiangwan's pretty face without any hint of joking.
So cute!
"Let's go out for a meal together? Let's celebrate!"
After the reception, Su Xiangwan took the initiative to invite Qin Chuan.
"Is it just the two of us?" Qin Chuan asked Su Xiangwan.
"Asking knowingly!" Su Xiangwan rolled his eyes at Qin Chuan angrily.
Qin Chuan laughed dryly: Why did I ask questions knowingly? I didn’t know at all!
After all, since they got married, Su Xiangwan and she had not spent much time alone together.
"I'll take you somewhere!" Su Xiangwan said to Qin Chuan.
…
In the afternoon, Su Xiangwan got in the car and took Qin Chuan to a place.
This is a seaside villa area, and it is a single-family three-story seaside villa. It is relatively old and should be one of the few old-fashioned western-style buildings in Longhai.
However, the number of such old-style buildings is limited, and due to their historical value, they are often expensive.
"Invested in an old foreign-style building?" Qin Chuan asked Su Xiangwan.
"If you really know me, you should know that I have no interest in real estate speculation." Su Xiangwan said angrily, opening the door with the key and entering the yard.
The courtyard is simple and elegant, and it seems that it has maintained its original style. Every corner is neat and tidy, and there is not even dust on the stone table.
Could it be that there are still people living here?
While I was wondering, the door of the foreign-style building opened, and then a man and a woman came out. They were both in their fifties and looked like a couple.
"Miss, are you here?" the two said enthusiastically when they saw Su Xiangwan.
Su Xiangwan smiled and introduced him.
"This is Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan, and this is my husband, Qin Chuan!"
"Oh! Hello, Mr. Qin!" The couple saw Qin Chuan's extraordinarily warm and polite greetings, as if they were meeting their own relatives.
"Hello!"
"Miss, I know that you are married, but I have never seen you bring your uncle here. Lao Yan and I are trying to figure out what kind of person our eldest lady is looking for. Today, I saw that he is really impressive and talented!
"Aunt Yan said.
"Yes! Yes! Can the eldest lady's taste be bad? She is a fairy that only princes and generals can marry. Of course my uncle is not an ordinary person."
"Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, thank you!"
Qin Chuan smiled: These two people are telling the truth!
Su Xiangwan continued to introduce: "Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan, like Aunt Mei, have helped my Su family for many years. They have watched Xia Xia and I grow up."
"This is the ancestral home of the Xia family. It can be regarded as my mother's dowry!"
"So that's it!" Qin Chuan suddenly realized that your mother's dowry was quite rich. Although the old foreign-style houses more than 20 years ago were not as expensive as they are now, they were definitely a considerable fortune.
Qin Chuan knew very little about the situation of Su Xiangwan's mother. After all, Su Xiangwan never mentioned it and only occasionally learned a few things from Aunt Mei.
It seems that her mother also comes from a wealthy family.
"This house is my mother's dowry, and of course it is my father's property. But he lost it in gambling a few years ago, and I only bought it back for a month." Su Xiangwan said to Qin Chuan again.
"Yes! The eldest lady has feelings for this place. This is where she grew up. She also has feelings for us. After a few years, she even brought us back together and paid us wages every month."
Aunt Yan said with a grateful face.
Su Xiangwan smiled and nodded, then invited Qin Chuan inside the foreign-style building and visited the foreign-style building.
It can be seen that Su Xiangwan does have a deep affection for this place. To be precise, he has a deep affection for her mother.
When the Su Group was in difficulty and short of funds, Su Xiangwan was in a bad mood and was very angry. Qin Chuan now knows: the main reason why Su Xiangwan was angry was not the Su Group, but her inability to put this into practice.
The house was bought from someone else.
The home in Su Xiangwan's heart has always been here!
"Can I see your mother?" Qin Chuan asked Su Xiangwan.
Su Xiangwan nodded, and then took Qin Chuan to the room on the second floor. This was a studio with many paintings, all signed: Zhixing.
Qin Chuan knew that Su Xiangwan's mother was named Xia Zhixing, so these paintings were all painted by her mother.
What a talented woman!
Su Xiangwan opened a drawer and carefully took out a photo album and turned it over to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan saw a large photo of a woman at a glance, gentle and dignified, noble in temperament, delicate and beautiful.
"A beautiful woman!" Qin Chuan blurted out.
In fact, it is expected. After all, Su Xiangwan and Su Xiaxia are the well-known sisters of the Su family. They are outstanding in appearance. There is no need to doubt their mother's appearance.
Qin Chuan had heard that Xia Zhixing was a famous beauty in Longhai back then, and the wealthy children who pursued her were like crucian carp crossing the river.
So? Why did the dandy Su Zhaomin of the Su family succeed?
"It's been quite a few years, isn't it? Is there no news at all?" Qin Chuan asked Su Xiangwan seriously.
Xia Zhixing is the woman that the Su family's matchmaker is marrying. She was just kicked out of the family by the Su family. In terms of fate, her fate is much better than that of Gu Xinyan's mother. At least she is still alive in this world.
With Su Xiangwan's personality, she would never give up looking for her mother.
Su Xiangwan shook his head, feeling sad.
"In my opinion, she is not a competent mother!" Qin Chuan actually attacked Xia Zhixing.
"Qin Chuan, what do you mean? Why do you blame my mother!" Su Xiangwan became angry on the spot when she heard Qin Chuan pouring dirty water on her mother.
Qin Chuan said: "She is a mother, so she shouldn't have not seen you for so long. You are parting, not separated. You and Xia Xia don't know where she is, but she knows where you are."
"I haven't even seen you for so many years. Is this what a mother can do?"
"Shut up!" Su Xiangwan was furious.
In any case, Qin Chuan's blasphemy against her mother was absolutely intolerable to her.
"I didn't bring you here to hear you gossiping about my mother. If you don't understand her difficulties, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm just grudged against Xia Xia for you!" Qin Chuan apologized with a chuckle.
Su Xiangwan said: "My mother told me when she left the Su family: She would come to see us every year on my and Xia Xia's birthday. Although we have not seen her on our birthdays in these years, she must have been here!"
"Yes! I believe it!" Qin Chuan said.
He did not doubt this. Xia Zhixing was definitely not a cold-blooded woman. How could she have ignored her own flesh and blood for so many years?
What he was unhappy about just now was, why didn't Xia Zhixing appear directly in front of their sisters?
"I know what you are thinking. You are wondering why my mother doesn't appear in front of us." Su Xiangwan looked at Qin Chuan and said with certainty.
"right!"
Su Xiangwan continued: "She promised me back then that she would appear at our sisters' wedding, and she would personally send us off to get married!"
"Can you lend me something?"
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment. Speaking of which, how could he not know what Su Xiangwan wanted to borrow?
