Chapter 312: Cold Expression
Ling Sheng liked this relaxed family atmosphere a lot. There was no unfamiliarity at all. It felt as though they were all at home. They really treated her as one of their own.
No wonder Grandma had said that Father liked to come to the house where the old folks stayed the most. He would visit them when he had time. With such a group of adorable people around, it would be strange if he did not want to come.
The juniors greeted them in the parking lot. The three big boys helped carry the items and surrounded Ling Sheng while chatting and laughing.
Su Chi was a student at the Imperial Capital University. Upon hearing that Ling Sheng was also going to the Imperial Capital University, he said, “I heard that a girl joined the junior class. That bunch of brats started calling her a goddess every time they saw her. No one believed them. So that was you!”
The other faculties even made fun of the students in the junior class by saying that a female dinosaur must have joined the Math Department instead. They would punish those crazy fools when they got back.
“Yes, I’ll be there for a month to experience the academic atmosphere.” Ling Sheng smiled. “Don’t tell me the whole school knows that someone has joined the Math Department!”
“Why not? You don’t know how smug those brats are. Every time they meet someone, they say that a goddess has joined their class. You have to know that the male-to-female ratio in the entire science school has reached 20:1. Everyone knows the quality of these girls. The whole school knows thanks to their clamoring.” Su Chi looked at Ling Sheng. The bunch of guys from the Math Department really had not lied. This relative of theirs was a true goddess.
If the school belle faced her, she would be easily defeated.
Ling Sheng knew that the Su Family included a lot of people, but when she saw a group of people coming over from the opposite side, she was still shocked.
She had to admit that looks and temperament were definitely hereditary. When handsome men and beautiful women stood next to each other, it was pleasing to the eye.
Su Chi pretended to be afraid and took a step back, hiding the gifts in his hand behind him. “Sister Sheng Sheng, come behind me. I’ll protect you.”
Ling Sheng was speechless.
Su Chi did not appear awkward. “Why do you think they’re here? Do you think they’re here to fight?”
Ling Sheng shook her head. Brother, you’re exaggerating. How could such good-looking people be involved in a gang fight? “I’m a little confused.”
“Let’s not talk about you. I’m confused too. It’ll be fine after some time. After all, our family is prosperous!” Su Chi let out a dull sigh and looked up at the crowd. “You’ve scared Sister Sheng!”
That was too much!
Too many people had run out. Who would keep the old folks company?
Then, he complained to Ling Sheng in a low voice. “Look at my grandparents. They’re already really old. Why are they acting like children? They even came out to join in the fun. It’s not like you can’t enter the house.”
The two sides met very soon. Regardless of their status or seniority, everyone surrounded Ling Sheng and pushed the others away.
Su Chi seemed like a white knight as he protected Ling Sheng. “Can you not be anxious? Come one by one. The fright you cause can scare one to death.”
Ling Sheng had no choice. They were really passionate, so she did not know what to do. She just greeted them one by one warmly.
Su Yan looked at Ling Sheng, who was surrounded and about to wither away. She immediately hurried over to pull her away. “Father, can you control yourself? We’ll talk when we go in. You scared Sheng Sheng.”
Only then did the crowd disperse. When it did, Huo Ci finally had the chance to greet them one by one. His uncles and brothers nodded, giving him a cold look that said, We heard you. Why are you so annoying? Compared to the passion they had shown Ling Sheng just now, their reaction made him feel uncomfortable.
Chapter 313: A Girl Is A Treasure
Huo Ci held back his anger. Look, look! This is a bunch of dogs with double standards! That’s my daughter! My daughter!
Ling Sheng looked at Su Yan gratefully and said carefully, “Aunt, I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was you at dinner last time.”
Su Yan looked at her and smiled. She whispered into her ear and said in a teasing tone, “Don’t worry, I didn’t say anything.”
Only then did Ling Sheng relax. When she saw her grandparents talking to her uncles and aunts behind her, her father’s cold face as he spoke to his uncles and brothers made the corners of her lips curl up in joy.
“Sheng Sheng, where’s Xiaoqi?” Her eldest cousin’s wife, Ye Chuqing, was the first to recall that she had a son!
Su Yan could not help but laugh. She tugged at Ling Sheng and said, “You’ve seen it for yourself. We have plenty of boys. Girls are treasures, and boys are like weeds. Remember this.”
“Aunt, Xiaoqi went to have fun with Cece and the others.” Ling Sheng knew that the Su Family was full of boys and there was only one girl in their generation. They all treated her like a gem.
Her grandma was the only girl of the older generation. In the younger generation, there was only Aunt Su Yan. In Su Chi’s generation, there were only boys. Only when she appeared did a girl finally appear.
The younger generation was Su Ce and Su Shi’s generation. There was also Xiaoqi, who was a boy.
Ye Chuqing nodded and ordered a servant to look for the child. After all, he was young. The servant would go and find him.
Ling Sheng had really seen it for herself. Boys were indeed like weeds. This was not wrong at all. However, although they had not seen her Xiaoqi yet, they already didn’t want to meet him?
The small bridge, flowing water, and winding corridors of the manor were very intricate. It felt as though they were in a southern garden. While walking in the manor, one could feel a very rich, comfortable, and gentle aura. Even the wind seemed different from the outside.
One could not help but have a wonderful illusion. Perhaps if one turned to the next corridor, one would see a scholar walking and reading or one would suddenly hear the sound of reading coming from somewhere.
The Su Family members had a long lifespan, and the old folks were already 90 years old. This also had a lot to do with their family upbringing and personal upbringing. They were magnanimous and didn’t do anything to harm others. As people, they had a clear conscience. Naturally, their thought level was higher than that of others.
“Do you like it here?” Su Yan’s eyes lit up when she saw her. She smiled and encouraged her. “If you like it, you can stay for two more days.”
She would only go back after half a month. Her family would not let her go. Sheng Sheng’s arrival might change her helpless situation.
“I like it.” Ling Sheng nodded. Jiangnan Garden was a good place to vacation and retire. The air there was nice, and there was plenty of spiritual energy. She had to stay there for some time next time.
“Then stay for a few more days to keep the old folks company.” Su Yan wanted to find someone to keep them company.
“I don’t have time.” Ling Sheng felt helpless. “I’ll be joining my production team next month. I have to improve my cultural upbringing during this period.”
“You’re doing very well already. How much do you want to improve?” Su Yan smiled. “I heard from your father that you’ll be taking the college entrance examination next year. You’re squeezing yourself dry. Do you have time?”
Ling Sheng smiled. When she spoke, she seemed to have endless energy. “I won’t take any jobs after filming my next movie. I will study hard and wait for the college entrance examination next year.”
Su Yan looked at the girl beside her. Under the sunlight, her delicate face was full of confidence and a dazzling smile. She was indeed a member of their family. Girls should be exactly like this. Not only did she have countless merits, but the young girl’s mouth was also sweet. She would definitely make the whole family happy.
