At that time, he was still a spirited big boy, handsome, just knit his brows and smile, are enough to cover the whole scene of all the elegance. He was surrounded by a group of beautiful women in the center, the strange light will reflect his noble and handsome.
Obviously, they are very, very close to each other, but …
At that moment, Su Jie only felt that there was something pulling them far, far away … so far that it was like not living in the same world …
“Young Su, I heard that you found a very earthy girlfriend?”
“I’ve even seen it! It’s a girl from a poor family. I’d like to see what that girl can give you as a present in a moment.”
“I don’t have to think about it, it must be poor too, it matches the aura she has all over her!”
“You guys cut the nagging.” He, who was slightly drunk, interrupted the chittering of several women, but did not refute their words, but only asked with interest, “Where are the gifts! Where are the gifts you guys gave me!”
“Here! The jacket you were looking at in our store last time!”
“Yoohoo, 15w for that set? Tsk, not bad.” Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.
“A ten-year gold card for the Lothian Club, spend as much as you like, it’s all on me!”
“That’s enough!”
“This is the ocean view villa that my dad asked me to bring you that you like.”
“That’s pretty generous of your dad, I’ll mark it down!”
One by one, the gifts were thrown out, and Su Chen’s exuberant smile made Su Jie take a step backwards.
Dropping his head to look at the cake in his hand, he suddenly felt really more than poor, even ridiculous.
Maybe …
In Su Chen’s eyes, he also looks the same as others, poor and ridiculous, but a plaything for amusement …
Otherwise, how come he didn’t say a word to stand up for her at that time?
“You’ve been squirming with me for so many years over this?” Only after hearing Su Jie’s words did Su Chen come to a realization.
“I’m not messing with you. Since you think it’s a trivial matter, there’s nothing for us to talk about.” Su Jie’s face stiffened, “It’s just that it’s this incident that made it very clear to me that it’s not just your parents that separate us, but the entire world. We were never meant to be in the same world!”
“Xi Sujie, I forbid you to leave!” Su Chen quickly stepped up and yanked her with one hand, “What kind of bullshit is not from one world? Did you survive on Mars? Don’t give me that meaningless rhetoric. I’m telling you, you’re not allowed to go anywhere today, I’ll take care of my mom’s place, you go upstairs!”
Su Jie looked into his eyes, “Su Chen, don’t lie to yourself! If you really think that we are people of the same world, in the beginning, why didn’t you think to stand up for me? Even if you said a word in my defense, I wouldn’t be so disappointed. Because, as they say, I’m rustic and I’m poor, so you feel ashamed, don’t you?”
“Damn! Where exactly are you rustic and poor?!” Su Chen cursed. This woman was obviously beautiful and generous, so she had to demean herself so much and believe those long-winded women? But …
“That’s not the point! The point is that I’ve never felt ashamed of myself with you. On the contrary … I feel honored that you, the class flower of a class and the first in your age, could like someone like me, who is dangling and never doing anything.”
“Saying such nice words now, why didn’t you say them then?” Sujie didn’t believe him at all with these crowning words.
Su Chen uncomfortable coughed down, “line, I honestly say, at that time I was heart love you love to death, but, after all, I am still young, has not passed the age of like to make a splash. You like me, agreed to go out with me, I am proud of a mess, where can I tell the world, in fact, is my Su Chen planted in your hands, and, also a heel planted down, climb can not climb!”
Suje knew he wasn’t cajoling himself.
Men always want to save face, not to mention the past, even the present Su Chen is still the same.
Thinking about it is also considered to be said reasonably, moreover things have passed for so long, and then reopen old scores is too meaningless, therefore, Su Jie’s face eased a lot. But there is still a worried look on her face, “Su Chen, I … am actually very messed up right now, I don’t know how long I can hold on to this kind of character.”
“Even for my sake, this lack of confidence?” Su Chen’s tone darkened slightly.
Su Jie lightly bit her lower lip, looked at Su Chen, and did not speak.
Su Chen only felt his heart, bit by bit, sinking. In fact, if this matter was reversed, he knew that he would not hesitate to answer, in order to marry her, he could go up the mountain of knives and go down the frying pan, do anything, and suffer any wrongdoing!
He had known that this love between them was much deeper than hers, but now that the facts were in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed and sad in his heart.
“I don’t want to force you. Su Jie, if you really aren’t willing to make that much of an effort for me …,” Su Chen lifted his eyes to look at her, his eyes dull, “You go, the proposal, I’ll treat it as if … nothing has been said.”
This one …
Changing Suje was baffled.
His body shook slightly, and he looked at him with both eyes, but he said nothing, just turned away stiffly.
Biting her lip, she suddenly wanted to be angry a little, and a little … wanted to cry …
Why take it back when you promised to propose, when you promised to give her time?
“Son, are you guys done talking?” Outside the door, once again, Su mother’s voice resounded, “Tell Ms. Xi to go back first if you’re done talking, what we’re going to talk about is our family matter, it’s not suitable for outsiders to be present.”
The word ‘outsider’, Su mother bit down extremely hard, as if she was afraid that Su Jie couldn’t hear it.
Behind him, Su Chen quickly put his clothes on. Su Jie didn’t turn around, just hesitated and opened the door from the inside.
Because of his embarrassment, Su father did not look at her. Su’s mother instead laughed a little and her tone was slightly cool, ”Ms. Xi, we won’t see you off. By the way, Cheng Xue is only my son’s girlfriend, so I also hope that you won’t show up here in the future. And don’t bother them anymore.”
Suje was tempted to just take it in stride. She wasn’t lower than anyone, so why should she have to endure this? But …
But his legs were like lead, unable to take a step at all. In his mind, what echoed back and forth were the words that Su Chen had just said.
The proposal, let’s pretend, it was never said …
Today, out of this door, does it mean … that between her and Su Chen, it will really be completely broken?
“Mom, I will never marry Guo Chengxue! No, it should be that I won’t marry any woman that you and dad arrange!” Su Chen looked at Su Jie and could only see the stiff back, he pursed his lips, his voice was a little dark, “I’d rather never marry in this life!”
“Do you … you want to be angry with mom?!” Su mother’s face went white.
Su Jie bit her lip and turned back to look at Su’s mother.
“Auntie, I am the one your son loves and wants to marry.” Su Jie spoke.
Su mother was stunned, this woman, has not been a little too confident?
Su Chen looked at her, his eyes burning hot, only he knew clearly what kind of expectation he held in his heart.
“Of course, I love him too.” Su Jie looked at Su Chen, touched his glowing eyes, her nose turned sour, and she added, “Very much!”
Su Chen was stunned for a moment.
Did she mean … very much in love?
Loved it!
What’s the point of being pushed away and abandoned over and over again? All the hurt and pain, in this instant, all seem so insignificant. More sweet words, Su Chen also felt that it simply can not beat these two words at this moment.
Ignoring his parents’ reaction, he took a step forward and excitedly held Sujie tightly in his arms.
“Those angry words of mine just now, I take them all back! Su Jie, as long as you love me … anything, how can … you do whatever you want!” A sentence of ‘love very much’ immediately made Su Chen lose his stance, discard his armor, and lose his sovereignty.
But he willingly …
Wishful Thinking …
“But I want to marry you …,” Suje stretched her arms around his neck, her face buried in his shoulder, her voice muffled, “Do you still want to marry me?”
“Marry! Immediately, right away!” Su Chen was so excited that even his voice was trembling. “I’m afraid you won’t marry.”
“I marry! I’ll accept whatever kind of aggravation I have to suffer and whoever I have to please. Even if … they will never like me.” Su Jie choked and opened her mouth, her tearful eyes looking at Su Chen.
Looking at the reddened eyes, Su Chen felt that his heart was wrung to the point of pain. He shook his head and murmured, “There is no need … Su Jie, in fact, from the beginning to the end I just want to see you hold out a little bit for me, brave once.”
Let her commiserate, in fact … how can he afford to do so?
And how could they afford to, literally, let the proud one lower her voice in their house?
“All aggravation, by me. All the pleasing, also by me! I just need you to stand firmly behind me and never retreat again! Don’t say anything about us not being from the same world, and don’t push me out of your world, even if you’re really from Mars, I’m willing to accompany you to live on Mars!”
Suje laughed through her tears and whacked him, “You’re the one from Mars.”
“You guys pretend we don’t exist, don’t you?” Sue’s mother snapped again, it was a terrible feeling to be ignored.
Only then did Su Jie come back to her senses, looking at Su Chen with some worry, her body subconsciously leaned towards him, sticking closer to him. Su Chen had never been this happy before, the feeling of being relied on was surprisingly this good.
“Mom, we’re getting married.”
“Not allowed!” Su’s father and mother, answered almost immediately.
“I’m sorry, I’m not going to follow your opinions this time.” Su Chen looked firm, holding Su Jie’s hand, “I also want to respect your opinions, but the premise is that you respect me and the person I love. Once because of me, she suffered a lot of grievances, and in the … future I hope I can protect her from any grievances. If you promise us to be together, in the future, Su Jie and I will honor you well.”
Sujie stood aside, her heart full of emotion.
For the sake of this man, in fact, what was it worth if she suffered some aggravation?
“What if we don’t agree?” Su’s father stared coldly at his son.
Su Chen looked at Su Jie and replied without hesitation, “What should be yours, you take it back all the time, I never wanted it. I can open up a new world for my woman, again.”
“Are you … you trying to cut ties with us?!” Su’s father stared at his son in shock.
“Of course not. I just want to make it clear to both you and my woman that I am capable of making her happy, and I must not make her regret making this decision to ‘marry me’!”
“Su Chen, you really want to piss off your father and me!” Su mother was so angry that her lips turned white.
Su Chen didn’t say anything else, he just held Su Jie’s hand and tightened it, “Now, let’s go and register?”
“Su Chen! Don’t you fool around!” When Su’s mother heard this, she immediately shouted.
