Chapter 28

Emperor Wenzong of Chu pushed his wife’s hand away:

“Cooking! Then let me ask you, does that girl Kang Ning like our son?”

Fu Yunhua’s excitement suddenly fell from the clouds and he shook his head:

“From what my son said, Kang Ning doesn’t know what he’s thinking! It all depends on when he takes action!”

After saying this, Fu Yunhua smiled again and looked at his son and Kang Ning in the yard with anticipation.

Su Manzhi’s parents were stunned when they saw this scene.

Father Su had a gloomy face.

Mother Su pointed at Chu Nanzhou with a trembling hand:

“He…what is he doing? What position does he put our daughter in? We, Manzhi, have been waiting for him for so many years, and only here? Isn’t he slapping us in the face?

Who is that little goblin? Manzhi, tell me, whose daughter is that little goblin? How can she be so shameless! In broad daylight, she seduced someone else’s fiancé!”

Su Manzhi’s eyes turned red and she turned around to leave.

Stopped by Su’s father:

“Manzhi, what are you going to do? Are you going to desert? What does the Chu family mean? Is this brat Chu Nanzhou sincere to you? You have to ask clearly. If you leave, you will just push Chu Nanzhou directly to that little devil over there!

Are you willing to do that?”

Su Manzhi looked like she was hurt by Chu Nanzhou:

“Dad, stop talking, let’s go home!”

Mother Su snorted coldly, grabbed Su Manzhi’s hand and walked inside:

“Why are you leaving? Listen to your father. You have been negotiating with Chu Nanzhou for so many years, and it’s not so cheap! I don’t know where this little devil came from!”

Su Manzhi was dragged in by her mother.

Sheng Kangning saw Su’s mother coming over angrily, and quickly informed Chu Nanzhou:

“Brother Chu, someone is here! It seems like they are looking for you!”

Anyway, it’s not Sheng Kangning that she’s looking for. She doesn’t know her and has never met her.

Sheng Kangning turned around holding Xiaobao, intending to take Xiaobao to play on the swing.

Chu Nanzhou turned around and saw that it was the three members of the Su family. He did not go to greet them, but stood there, with a polite smile on his face, and greeted them:

“Uncle and aunt, you are here!”

After saying that, he grabbed Sheng Kangning who was about to leave.

Sheng Kangning was completely forced to stand in front of the three members of the Su family.

She was a stranger and it was quite awkward.

Chu Nanzhou didn’t notice it at all and introduced:

“This is Sheng Kangning, Kangning, this is Su Manzhi, Uncle Su and Aunt Su, they are visiting my home, they also live in this compound, they are our neighbors! Su Manzhi is older than you, she works in the military hospital, call me sister!”

Sheng Kangning took a look at Su Manzhi. Su Manzhi was tall, with a good figure and a round face. She had a dignified and generous appearance.

Sheng Kangning smiled and greeted them one by one:

“Uncle, Auntie, Sister Manzhi, hello! My name is Sheng Kangning!”

Su Manzhi looked at the little girl closely. Her big watery eyes were bright and pure, and her face was white and flawless, like the finest white jade.

It’s something that no old girl of her age can compare to.

In addition, Chu Nanzhou introduced her to others as just a neighbor, so Su Manzhi felt extremely aggrieved.

Su Manzhi’s eyes fell on Sheng Kangning’s loose curly hair, and her tone was light:

“Hello, you look so young? Are you fifteen?”

Sheng Kangning smiled and said:

“I’m seventeen!”

“Ah! You’re already… already seventeen? I can’t tell!”

A hint of surprise flashed across Su Manzhi’s eyes.

Seventeen years old!

It’s great to be at the blooming age!

Chu Nanzhou waited for them to finish speaking before calling out, “Mom and Dad, Uncle Su and Aunt Su are here!”

Fu Yunhua came out with a smile and welcomed the three members of the Su family in.

Soon, the food was served.

Sheng Kangning looked at the table full of dishes and was honestly shocked.

There were chicken stewed with mushrooms, fish cubes with pickled cabbage, mapo tofu, two vegetarian dishes, and one with sugar-coated tomatoes.

Sheng Kangning particularly likes to eat tomatoes mixed with sugar, especially in this hot summer.

Sheng Kangning held Xiaobao and wanted to sit beside him.

Before his butt even touched the stool, Chu Nanzhou pulled him over and placed him next to him.

Sheng Kangning wanted to refuse, but when she looked up, she found Su Manzhi looking at her with cold eyes. When Sheng Kangning looked over, Su Manzhi suddenly smiled, which made people feel strange.

Su Manzhi smiled and said:

“Xiaobao likes you very much!”

Sheng Kangning nodded:

“Xiaobao is very well behaved, I like him too!”

Su Manzhi pulled the corner of her mouth, and the smile looked particularly forced.

Sheng Kangning subconsciously felt that he should not be sitting here and wanted to return to his previous position.

Fu Yunhua came over and pushed Sheng Kangning onto a stool: “Hurry up and sit down and eat! It will get cold soon!”

Sheng Kangning’s position is right opposite Su Manzhi.

Sheng Kangning clearly felt that since she sat down, the eyes of the three members of the Su family opposite her were all on her.

This made Sheng Kangning feel strange and a little nervous.

Soon, Sheng Kangning knew the answer.

Uncle Su looked at Chu Nanzhou and said in a cold and hard voice:

“Nanzhou, you finally came back, don’t you plan to stay a few more days?”

Chu Nanzhou: “I originally planned to stay a few more days, but plans can’t keep up with changes, so I have to leave tomorrow.”

Father Su’s eyes swept over the Chu family members one by one, and then he said:

“Nanzhou, my Manzhi is not young anymore. I heard from your mother that you will be gone for several years. How about settling your marriage with Manzhi before you leave?”

Sheng Kangning finally understood that Brother Chu was talking about something with this sister named Manzhi. No wonder when sister Manzhi saw him and Brother Chu standing and talking together, there was hostility in her eyes when she looked at him.

It turned out that he regarded her as an imaginary enemy.

Sheng Kangning thought that if he had the chance later, he would still clarify it.

There was nothing wrong between her and Brother Chu.

After Uncle Su finished speaking, the air was quiet for a while.

Then I heard Chu Nanzhou’s calm voice say:

“Su Manzhi, won’t you explain?”

Su Manzhi’s face froze for a moment, and she looked up at Chu Nanzhou, the muscles on both sides of her mouth trembling slightly:

“Nanzhou, have you ever thought about it? We are not young anymore! If you think it’s appropriate, we…”

Chu Nanzhou laughed softly and looked at Su Manzhi with cold eyes:

“I think it would be better if you explained this to your uncle and aunt yourself. If I say it, it won’t sound good. You decide!”

Chu Nanzhou didn’t actually say anything, but his meaning was clear enough.

Su Manzhi’s parents were embarrassed. Su’s mother pinched her thigh, calmed down, and asked Su Manzhi in a low voice:

“Manzhi, what’s going on?”

Su Manzhi looked at Chu Nanzhou with shame and anger, then stood up and ran out.

When Su Manzhi ran away like this, Su’s father’s face became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

Looking at Chu Nanzhou:

“Nanzhou, what’s going on? Tell your uncle the truth!”

Chu Nanzhou glanced at Father Su and then Mother Su, and said:

“Let me tell you this, over the years I have said no more than ten sentences to Su Manzhi. Today I said a lot more because I had to explain, so it doesn’t count.”

After hearing this, Su’s father’s face turned pale. He was so embarrassed that he stood up and said, “We are the ones who failed to teach our daughter well!”

He left with a face full of shame.

Sheng Kangning was shocked.

This is too outrageous!
