CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 274: THE WILL

Bai Sixian urged, looked around the room, and couldn’t help but ask, "Meng Meng, you’re really not afraid sleeping here alone at night?"

Su Xiaomeng raised her eyebrow, "This is Grandpa San’s house, what should I be afraid of? When Grandpa San was alive, he liked me. Even now that he’s gone, he would still protect me!"

"The ones who should be afraid are that couple living downstairs, and Su Li Hao, who doesn’t even care about his own grandfather!"

Su Xiaomeng changed her clothes and then looked at her mom, "By the way, Mom, did you come all the way here just to see me?"

As she asked this, Su’s mother remembered, when she was on the phone with Yin Shixiu earlier, she hurriedly handed the phone to Su Xiaomeng, "Here, your phone. You’re already all grown up, yet you’re still so forgetful. Shixiu just called earlier, and I answered it."

"Was it important?"

Su Xiaomeng asked.

"He said the application for University of Bath has come through, and you can take the written test in January next year."

"Really?"

Su Xiaomeng blinked, though it’s just the first step, with a written test and interview following...

But this alone made Su Xiaomeng feel so awesome!

"Alright, I won’t stay here. I need to go back to my room and sleep. Remember, whatever Su Jianyi and Zhou Wenxiu say or do, it’s their business, don’t get involved."

"Hmm, got it!"

Su Xiaomeng quickly replied with a smile.

Bai Sixian left the room, closing the door.

Su Xiaomeng leaned onto the bed and redialed Yin Shixiu...

"Uncle, what are you doing? Finished with work yet? Mom said my application to University of Bath went through? Really, don’t lie to me!"

"Uncle?"

"Did she hit you? On the face?"

"Ah... oh, you, you... how did you know?"

Su Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, her heart racing a bit, thinking Yin Shixiu might be watching her from somewhere...

"Mom heard it before she hung up."

Yin Shixiu casually explained.

"Oh..."

Su Xiaomeng responded, then touched her face...

The face no longer hurt, when her mom slapped back for her, it didn’t hurt at all.

Not to mention now... hearing Yin Shixiu’s pleasant voice, filled with a caring warmth, her heart felt even warmer.

But...

"Yes! She hit the face! Really hard! Half of my face turned bright red!"

"Hiss..."

Far away in Beijing, Yin Shixiu was startled by her intake of breath.

He had clearly heard that slap, so he didn’t expect Xiaomeng was exaggerating it for effect.

His mind was filled with the image of that red half-face, his expression cold as a glacier.

Words of concern stuck in his throat, knowing that being away from her, any words were futile.

"Uh... Uncle..."

"Hmm?"

"Do you feel sorry for me?"

Xiao Meng licked her lips, quietly asking.

Yin Shixiu thought it was a pointless question, didn’t want to answer, but still... he replied, "Yes."

"...Hehe."

"Xiaomeng, when I’m not around, you should protect yourself... How do I feel like any random person can hurt you?"

"As long as you feel sorry for me."

Xiaomeng ignored Yin Shixiu’s teasing remark, said directly, "Then you have to avenge me!"

Yin Shixiu was taken aback for a moment, avenging... of course, although it wasn’t exactly revenge, but just for that slap, Yin Shixiu would definitely make Su Jianyi’s family suffer.

But for Su Xiaomeng to bring it up so suddenly, made him curious, he asked, "How do you want me to avenge?"

Su Xiaomeng wasn’t joking at this point, although it sounded like a joke.

It was probably from this moment on that Xiaomeng felt that marrying into a wealthy family, having access to people average folks could never meet, was something worth celebrating and truly satisfying.

"Uncle Jianyi... didn’t fall hard enough, people like him don’t deserve the title of public servants."

The so-called public servants usually refer to civil servants.

With those words, Yin Shixiu clearly understood...

"You want me to end Su Jianyi’s career path?"

"...Is that not possible?"

Su Xiaomeng asked calmly, slightly clenching her fist.

"Hmm... Happy to serve, my dear wife."

Su Xiaomeng let out a small sigh...

How boring she must be to ask the extremely busy Yin Shixiu, who barely had time, to completely cut off Su Jianyi’s career path?

But she just couldn’t swallow this anger...

Maybe Grandpa San hoped more that Su Jianyi’s family would be happy and stable.

But that’s also because he was Su Jianyi’s father. That’s also because Grandpa San was especially kind and gentle.
