Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Uninvited Guest

Su Dajiang could not be bothered with his son’s dumb appearence. “I don’t need your apology, but I must remind you that that girl is only after a job, not you. I don’t think that the marriage will last long even if it happens, so it’s fine even if the marriage doesn’t happen.”

Exactly!

Su Hanyan nodded repeatedly, thinking inwardly that the Su family finally had someone who understood the situation.

In the original novel, Lin Zhiqiu eventually ended up with Zhou Ningkai. The couple opened a hotel and earned a lot of money, reaching the peak of their lives.

Su Jingrui was at most a cannon fodder!

It was a pity that this high-level cannon fodder was still obstinate, single-mindedly wanting to be married to the female lead.

“Dad, you haven’t even met Qiu’er. How did you come to such a conclusion? She’s a kind and good lady. It’s just that her family has some difficulties, so she wants a job. If not for that, she wouldn’t even ask for anything.” Su Jingrui was really blinded by love. All he saw was Lin Zhiqiu’s good points.

“I don’t need to see to know. All I know is that true love doesn’t involve talking about so many conditions. There are many good ladies in the world. You should forget about that lady and find someone else!” Su Dajiang was very disapproving of his son’s marriage.

“Dad!” Su Jingrui was both mad and anxious when he saw that his father did not support him. He paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his hips like an ant on a hot pan. “This is prejudice! Qiu’er is a good girl who is hard to come by. I’ll marry no one but her!”

Tsk!

Su Hanyan really pitied Su Jingrui.

This high-level cannon fodder was really following his storyline and did not waver at all. As expected, his intelligence was only limited to small tricks.

“Look at how anxious you are…” Wei Guiqin’s heart ached for her third son. How could he remain a bachelor?

She was still hoping for a grandchild!

Wei Guiqin was about to persuade her son when a crisp and sweet voice came from the courtyard.

“Jingrui! Is Jingrui home?”

When Su Jingrui heard this voice, it was as if he had been possessed. He lifted the door curtain and ran to the courtyard.

He saw Lin Zhiqiu, who never waited for him at home, standing in the courtyard with a net bag in her hand. In the net bag were two boxes of maltose.

“Qiu’er, why are you here?” He was overjoyed.

She smiled at him gently and replied, “I heard that Uncle Su had recovered from his surgery, so I came to visit him and to talk about us, too.”

He tensed up and asked nervously, “Are you here to break up with me?”

Lin Zhiqiu covered his mouth and laughed softly. “Look at how nervous you are. No, I’m not!”

“Then you are…”

“You’ll find out in a while.” She smiled plainly. “Introduce me to your family.”

Seeing her smile at him, Su Jingrui acted like a bewitched boy and eagerly brought her into the house.

“Dad, mom, Qiu’er is here!”

Upon hearing that the female lead had come, Su Hanyan immediately raised her head and looked at the woman.

At this time, Lin Zhiqiu was still a pitiful white flower and was in the most difficult phase of her life. She had her hair combed back and wore a simple blue coat. She had a bashful smile on her face, and her appearance was quite lovable, like a lily blooming in a dark valley.

After all, she was the novel’s female protagonist, whom the author showered with much affection.
