Su Lenghan's expression suddenly grew cloudy. He'd been too busy these days. So busy that he had forgotten what he felt when he started to like her. As for Meng Xinyan, she had yet to contact him, and neither had she answered any of his calls. His emotion had changed from worry to disappointment, then to unenthusiasm, and finally numbness.
It seemed as though everything had changed. It was different from the beginning, fraught with problems that could not be articulated easily.
Looking at the confusion in Su Lenghan's eyes, his mother sighed softly. "Child, you're outstanding and intelligent, but I fear that you can't judge matters of the heart clearly."
His mother did not feel good about the current situation. Back then, that girl Yun Bixue had come over and begged her, and then tried to find her again afterward. However, she had avoided seeing Yun Bixue for the sake of the Su family.
In the past, Yun Bixue had won the respect of Lenghan's father. However, he had done nothing to help the situation of the Yun family's bankruptcy. That girl Yun Bixue was sure to be harboring some ill feelings.
"Could it be that mother wants me to go and find Yun Bixue?" Su Lenghan shook his head. He believed that the only thing he felt towards Yun Bixue was guilt, and not much-if any-in the name of love.
His mother shook her head. "What I meant to say was that since you have already chosen Miss Meng, then you should uphold the responsibilities of a man. You need to understand her and love her. Those are all things that women pursue in life."
After thinking for a moment, Su Lenghan said, "Mother, there's also a portion of women that pursue a wealthy life, isn't there?"
His mother's expression changed to shock. Looking intently at her cold son, she asked, "Lenghan, why do you have these kinds of thoughts?" Her shock came out of worry that her son may never be interested in a relationship ever again. However, the Su family only had a single heir-Su Lenghan. She had been hoping to have a grandson soon and was very much invested in her son's marriage.
Su Lenghan rubbed his tired forehead and sat down beside her. He said, "Mother, I've heard that the Meng family has plans to arrange a marriage with Tian Jing City."
"Lenghan, rumors shouldn't be trusted. Miss Meng does have feelings for you. From where I stand, if you don't fight for it or put in any effort at all, Miss Meng will feel neglected. Women have their pride too, so if that's the case, she will naturally turn to someone else. If you treat her better, she will willingly want to be with you."
That day, Su Lenghan sat and listened to his mother talk for a long time. Afterward, he drove to the Meng family home himself and waited for Meng Xinyan at the Meng family's door.
Every day he would wait at the gates of the Meng family house, only to be told by the guard that Miss Meng wasn't at home. Yet he kept waiting for an hour every day. After an hour, he would drive away. He would go there come rain or shine.
After a week, Meng Xinyan almost ran out herself. She saw her love standing outside, and she desperately wanted to dive into his embrace.
"Xinyan, you must hold back. You see, Mother was right all along. You can't treat men too well. Just look at him now, waiting for you every day. However, this is hardly enough. There needs to be more trials for him." Chen Pei hadn't expected Young Master Su's patience and ability. Regardless of his background, he was an outstanding individual, and he was rich as well. However, everything he had paled in comparison to Tian Jing City. No matter how affluent Ning An City was, it couldn't compare to Tian Jing City.
If her outstanding daughter could somehow be connected to Tian Jing City, the Meng family would no longer be just another ancient family of Ning An City. When the time came, she would be extremely influential.
