Chapter 646: Unattainable, Unreachable
“Grandpa, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry,” Su Yingxue said, sitting obediently beside Su Qingzhi. She knew that she had made Su Qingzhi worry again, which was why he had come to see her so nervously.
“You are still young. You have your mother’s abilities, but you may not have her experience in dealing with people. Grandpa has to watch over you more and give you more advice. Tell me what happened in the past two days.”
Su Qingzhi didn’t plan to leave so easily after sitting down.
Su Yingxue had no choice but to tell Su Qingzhi everything about the palace and the Xiao family, including her plan to cooperate with Xiao Yu to open a clinic.
After Su Qingzhi heard this, he frowned deeply, and his distinct eyebrows were raised.
“Working with the Xiao family is extremely risky. Xiao Yu is the heir of the Xiao family, but someone dares to poison him. By doing this, you are getting involved in the Xiao family’s grievances.” Su Qingzhi’s tone was heavy, clearly disapproving of this matter.
“Grandpa, I’m already at the cusp of the storm. If I don’t strengthen myself, I’ll become a fish on the chopping board of others. Instead of that, I might as well take a gamble.”
Su Yingxue was proud and confident. It was as if Su Qingzhi saw Long Shuli from back then.
“It’s exactly the same…”
Su Qingzhi sighed softly. “I can’t stop what should come. Your mother was the same back then. I couldn’t stop her either.”
Long Shuli was in the limelight. Back then, she was famous all over the world.
But in the end…
Su Qingzhi waved his hand. “Forget it. Grandpa won’t stop you from doing what you want to do, but I’m concerned about your marriage. Don’t delay it.”
Su Yingxue was stunned. “Why did Grandpa suddenly mention this?”
“You’ve already reached adulthood for a year. How long do you want to delay? The sooner you have someone to rely on, the sooner Grandpa can rest assured. Your husband can protect you, and I won’t be worried about you, just like what happened to Han’er.”
Su Qingzhi was especially sincere. He even patted Su Yingxue’s shoulder and reminded her, “Husband is someone who wants to support each other and hold hands with you for the rest of your life. If that person is someone you can’t reach, you should give up on this idea as soon as possible. Grandpa doesn’t want you to be in danger.”
On the surface, Su Qingzhi’s words sounded like the advice of a normal old man.
However, in his words, it was unattainable and unreachable…
These words pierced into Su Yingxue’s heart.
Grandpa, he… He seemed to know something.
“General, you should go back and rest early,” Su Wei looked at the sky and reminded him.
Su Qingzhi nodded and left with Su Wei.
Zhilan had already prepared hot water for Su Yingxue. “Miss, it’s all ready. I will serve you to bathe.”
Su Yingxue did not move.
“Miss?”
Zhilan called her again.
Only then did Su Yingxue move her hand and let her go to the bathroom to prepare.
Zhilan didn’t notice anything strange in the bathroom, and Chu Yihan was no longer hiding there.
Su Yingxue searched the entire house again, but no one was there.
However, her heart instantly felt empty.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Zi Wei landed in front of her and told her, “He left with your grandpa.”
Su Yingxue’s lips twitched. “Really?”
Unlike usual, he didn’t even tell her when he left.
Did he hear Grandfather’s words?
Su Qingzhi brought Su Wei out of Su Yingxue’s courtyard. They did not go back directly but went to the temple hall..
