CHAPTER 760: 760 THINKS CLEARLY

Once she understood, she suddenly felt much lighter, both in her heart and body.

The next day, the three generations of the Zeng Family, along with Su Yuanyuan, noticed a change in Zeng Hongling.

She seemed more radiant and gave off a more approachable vibe.

Su Yuanyuan thought to herself, maybe this girl has figured something out? It’s actually quite nice like this.

After breakfast, Su Yuanyuan went to the study to read, thinking it was probably a family matter from yesterday, so it would be best if they resolved it themselves. As an outsider, it was better for her to steer clear.

The family sat in the living room, with a smile on Zeng Hongling’s face.

"Grandpa, Dad, Yixin, I finally figured it out. Yes, I was born into the Zeng Family, raised in the Zeng Family. It is the Zeng Family that has afforded me a privileged life and taught me life skills.

I used to overthink things, but Yixin’s words made me understand. In the future, I will work with Yixin to make the Zeng Family flourish."

"Hongling, it’s great that you have clarity now. Neither your father nor I will force anything between you and Yixin. We’ve figured it out now. Nothing is more important than people. As long as you two are happy, that’s all that matters."

"Grandpa, give me three years. I’ll return in three years, and if there’s someone I like or someone you approve of, I’ll get married. Of course, taking a live-in son-in-law is also an option."

"Hongling, don’t you want Xiao Su to join you?"

"Yes, I still have three years. Whether we’re together or not, we’ll still think of each other often as friends.

Plus, even when I come back, I won’t sever ties with Yuanyuan. I think I’ll still need her help if I want the Zeng Family to rise."

The three men of the Zeng Family saw that she truly figured it out and weren’t imposing anything, which reassured them.

"Sis, I’m sorry."

"Yixin, you’re right. I understand now, that living in this world isn’t just about oneself; there are many words to value and cherish."

The family all wore smiles. They believed that only through joint effort could they succeed.

At the Yang Family, Yang Liulang sat in the study, staring at the phone. He’d been waiting since breakfast, and it was almost time for lunch.

Having experienced much already, this time he felt like a teenager, not really anxious but with a sense of urgency.

He knew that even if he learned about Su Yuanyuan’s whereabouts, success wasn’t guaranteed, but he wanted to analyze it and increase his chances of success.

The phone on the desk rang. Yang Liulang paused before answering.

As he listened to the report on the other end, his heart sank deeper.

Five minutes later, he hung up the phone. Yang Liulang picked up the pen next to him, doodling random lines on paper, reflecting his current mood.

He stood up and decided to visit the Zeng Family. He thought it best to be straightforward with the woman who seemed to see right through things. Small tricks meant nothing to her.

"Sixth Brother, where are you going?"

Yang Liulang looked at his youngest brother. He never cut corners with lies. "I’m going to the Zeng Family."

"I want to go too, I want to go too." Yang Jiulang, being the youngest in the family, had some childish whims.

"Alright, let’s go together."

The brothers received strict upbringing since childhood, so visiting someone’s place meant bringing gifts.

However, given the good relationship between their families, it wasn’t too formal, and they just stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruit.

"Sixth Brother, why are you going to the Zeng Family? Because of that Su Yuanyuan?"

"Yes."

"Why? To make her my Sixth Sister-in-law?"

Yang Liulang didn’t respond. He wasn’t thinking along those lines; it was more about interests.

"Sixth Brother, that woman is really pretty."

Yang Jiulang was used to Sixth Brother’s quietness, ready to chatter on his own.

It wasn’t far between their places, and within fifteen minutes, they reached the Zeng Family home.

Zeng Yixin opened the door.

"Sixth Brother, Old Nine, you guys are here? Come in and have a seat."

"Sorry to trouble you."

"Sixth Brother, you’re too polite. My grandpa and dad are in the living room."

Why are these brothers visiting today?

After entering the living room, they dutifully greeted the two elders of the Zeng Family, following the ancient etiquette they were raised with.

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Jiu, you came at the right time. Hongling is cooking a meal with ingredients brought from the north. Stay and try it today."

"Thank you, Mr. Zeng."

"Ingredients from the north? Sister Hongling knows how to cook this?"

"You’ll understand once you taste it later."

The two sat in the living room, chatting with the elders.

The Zeng and Yang Families had a good relationship spanning several generations. Without conflicting interests, their bond had grown even stronger over these two generations.

"You guys chat, I’m going to the kitchen to help my sister cook."

With guests for dinner, it’s customary to inform them; otherwise, it would be bad to prepare too little.

"Yixin, I’ll go with you." Yang Jiulang took the opportunity to run off; he disliked being questioned by the elders.

Now, only three remained in the living room. "Mr. Zeng, I came today mainly to speak with Mr. Su."

"Xiao Su? What’s the matter, Xiao Liu?"

"Uncle Zeng, I just want to get to know Mr. Su, and I also want to go out and gain some experience with Mr. Su."

The Zeng family father and son felt a sudden thud in their hearts. What does the Yang Family mean by this?

"Mr. Zeng, I really just envy Yixin and Hongling."

Zeng Zhixuan nodded, though somewhat troubled. Xiao Su was a guest at their home, just as the Yang Family’s Xiao Liu was their guest. But he felt it necessary to discuss the matter with Xiao Su.

"Xiao Liu, please sit. Normally, there’s no issue with you meeting Xiao Su here, but she’s, after all, a woman. I’ll go talk to her first."

"Alright, Uncle Zeng, I understand."

Zeng Zhixuan also went to the kitchen. He didn’t find Su Yuanyuan there, as she had gone to the study.

"Uncle Zeng? What’s the matter?" Zeng Hongling didn’t need to cook herself, so she was engrossed in reading an autobiography of a Zeng ancestor in the study.

"Xiao Su, you met the Yang Family’s Xiao Liu, Xiao Jiu yesterday when you went there.

Today, the two brothers are here. Just now, Xiao Liu mentioned wanting to see you to talk."

"Talk to me about what? We only met for the first time yesterday, didn’t we?"

"He just mentioned wanting to go out with you."

"Go out? That’s not necessary, is it? Uncle Zeng, I understand the predicament you’re in. It’s okay, let him come to the study to see me."

Zeng Zhixuan nodded, "Alright, rest assured, the Yang Family people are of good character."
