Su Fengfei let out a long sighed. "My father was the director of the Ge Corporation. At a company party, Xiao Guiren and I met for the first time. We were the same age and we studied in the same school. We talked to each other and found out that we had a similar way of thinking and our interest matched. We became close. Our families didnât disapprove either. My father was an honest man and so Xiao Guirenâs father liked my father. So we grew up together and became closer than ever."
Xue Lin asked, "Howâs it connected to the company and him?"
Su Fengfei recollected the old memories. "The Su Corporation is my heart and soul. It was found by me and my wife together. Although we found it, we were as good as my daughter, Su Yin. She was intelligent and she could understand the business more than us. She took our small company to the international market and our company became the rival of the Li Corporation and Ge Corporation. She was promoted to President from Vice President and I became the Chairman of the Su Corporation. At that same time, Xiao Guiren retired from the company and made his son, Chuan Li the President. Xiao Chuan Li and Yin became rivals and they enjoyed competing against each other. Yin won many international projects like that. Our company became number two. Thatâs when Xiao Guiren came up with the marriage proposal."
Xue Lin wondered, âSo thatâs how it all happened. Itâs easy to understand whatâs next.â
Su Feng continued, "Xiao Chuan Li liked Yin and Yin was... well.... She was more into business than being tied in marriage. But just like my friend, I was thinking about the company and money. So, I insisted that she had to get married. In the end, she didnât oppose it. They got married and Xiao Chen was born a year later. When Xiao Chuan Li brought his mistress and divorced Yin, she went to B City. She bought a villa there a long time ago. Maybe she was planning to stay here after shifting the company there." After finishing the tale, he lowered his head. He still has money, but his one and only daughter is now gone.
Xue Lin concluded, "So, you couldnât kick out your friend when he was living with you here, nor could you oppose him when he took Chen with him back to that mansion because you had guilty consciousness. And you still believe that Chen didnât forgive you for sending him to that family."
Su Fengfei looked at her with wide eyes. "H-how do you-"
"Understanding a human heart is my specialty." Xue Lin felt proud when she said that. She doesnât do that often but if there are powerful people, she likes to boost herself around them.
Su Fengfei chuckled. "I canât expect less from a psychiatrist, I guess."
Xue Lin said in a very serious tone, "It has nothing to do with occupation. If you want to do something, you can practice, and you can do better than me. Everything depends on your will and dedication and hard work." She looked like she was lecturing her student.
Su Fengfei shook his head slowly. He started chuckling, "You, lass, are no ordinary person."
"Iâm a normal twenty three years old." Xue Lin never understood why people said that to her. She was just an ordinary girl like others.
"You what?!" Su Fengfei almost choked. He didnât think she was so young. Since she completed her Ph.D., he thought that she was twenty seven or eight years old.
Xue Lin gazed at him. "Why are you so surprised? I thought that you already knew about it. Didnât you see the document?"
Su Fengfei couldnât understand her question. He asked back, "What document?"
Xue Lin bluntly said, "You rich people always spy on a person before attacking them."
Su Fengfei flinched. He indeed saw her profile and he felt guilty about it. "Thatâs.... harsh."
"Thatâs the truth and truth is ugly." Xue Lin didnât miss a chance to use a wise phrase.
Su Fengfei smiled. He looked at the pond and said, "Iâm glad that Xiao Chen married you. He needed someone who could support him physically, mentally, spiritually, and socially. We could never become his support. He would never do that."
Xue Lin instantly asked, "How do you know that?"
Su Fengfei blinked. He didnât understand what she meant. "What?"
Xue Lin asked him again, "How do you know that he would reject you? Have you ever asked him?"
He was confused. "No, but he wouldnât."
She questioned him, "Why are you so sure? How can you understand him when you never asked him? Are you a mind reader or a god?"
"Thatâs-" He didnât know how to answer.
Xue Lin said, "Next time before you jump into conclusion, why donât you ask people what they were thinking or feeling? Itâll help you from having extra thinking, headache, and heartache. Itâs a waste of time to think about something you cannot come up with the right solution."
Su Fengfei nodded. "Thatâs a wonderful idea." He never thought about it. He could just ask Ge Chen but maybe he was scared to face the truth. However, from her perspective, Ge Chen might not hate him. If thatâs the truth, then he wanted to try to communicate with his old grandson before he regretted it in the future.
Iâm glad you like my idea." Xue Lin was satisfied. She liked to help people like that. If she can make them happy, she feels happy too.
Su Fengfei couldnât help but say, "Lass, you are really something."
Xue Lin shook her head. "Itâs not something special. Iâm too lazy to think too deeply. So, I always go for the simple way of living. Why do I have to make my life so complicated."
Su Fengfei brushed his fingers against his chin. "No wonder Xiao Chen chose you. He didnât need a gorgeous wife, or a talented wife. He needed you. With you by his side, what else could he need? For him, you are more than enough."
