Chapter 394 Within Three Years, I Will Take You to See the Scenery in the Capital
After that, Chen Xuan parted ways with Doctor Lu and drove back to the Su family villa.
As dinner approached, Su Yunxi returned from outside, her brows furrowed, appearing unhappy.
Jiang Biyun sat at the dining table, her face stern. "Yunxi, has any bank agreed to give you a loan?"
"I went to a few banks. They said tens of millions were fine, but anything more is not possible," Su Yunxi shook her head, sighed, and looked troubled.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Biyun slammed her chopsticks onto the table and glared fiercely at Chen Xuan. "Your father has always been sharp. How could he have chosen such a son-in-law for you!"
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
However, Jiang Biyun had been under a lot of pressure lately, and he couldn't be bothered to argue, lest Su Yunxi be caught in the middle and made uncomfortable.
He turned and smiled at Yunxi, comforting her, "Yunxi, you don't need to be troubled. In a few days, I'll give you the money."
Su Yunxi was startled and looked at Chen Xuan in surprise. Before she could speak, Jiang Biyun was the first to say, "What big talk! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough already? Do you want to make a spectacle of yourself again? Where will you get the money?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly. "We'll see in two days!"
Jiang Biyun seemed to recall something and smiled. "Two days it is. If you can't get the money in two days, the engagement is off!"
After dinner, Su Yunxi found Chen Xuan and comforted him, "Chen Xuan, don't worry. I've already leveraged Dad's connections to find two banks. Those two banks have loosened up. Even if we can't get three billion, we can solve the current difficulties."
Chen Xuan understood. So Su Yunxi didn't believe he could come up with three billion either.
It was understandable. After all, just six months ago, he couldn't even afford his mother Song Ping's medical expenses and had relied on Su Yunxi's support.
"By the way, Chen Xuan, my mom said Grandpa has been coughing severely these past few days. Mom even said he's started spitting blood. Let's go see Grandpa. Don't you know medicine? You can treat Grandpa's illness while we're there."
Su Yunxi thought of her grandfather, whom she hadn't seen in half a year, and a trace of nostalgia and worry appeared on her face.
"Okay!" Chen Xuan readily agreed.
The next morning, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi loaded bags of nutritional supplements into the car, preparing to leave. Guo Yulong had also sent 999 roses to Su Yunxi from the flower shop staff. As usual, Chen Xuan accepted them all.
However, he promptly used them as air freshener in the toilet.
On the way to Su Yunxi's grandfather's residence, Su Yunxi laughed until her sides hurt. "If Guo Yulong knew you put his flowers in the toilet, he'd probably be furious enough to explode."
Earlier, when Chen Xuan wanted to keep the roses, Su Yunxi had found it a bit surprising but didn't think much of it. She never expected Chen Xuan to do something like this.
"Making the best use of everything," Chen Xuan chuckled.
Su Yunxi, hearing this, laughed so hard her stomach hurt.
Chen Xuan suddenly asked, "Are we going to see Grandpa just to visit him?"
Su Yunxi hesitated for a moment before explaining, "My grandfather used to be in charge of Jiangnan Province when he was in the Su family in the capital. He still has some connections, especially in the banking sector."
Chen Xuan understood. So Su Yunxi wanted to leverage Grandpa Su's connections.
Following the navigation, Chen Xuan drove to a villa at the foot of a mountain.
The villas here were all detached residences, with only about ten on the entire mountain.
The scenery was beautiful, and the air was fresh. From a feng shui perspective, it was a treasure land.
Each villa was worth a considerable sum and extremely precious.
Logically, Old Master Su, being elderly, should have lived with his family. However, due to his poor health, he came here to live alone for recuperation.
Upon arriving at the villa entrance, a servant was already waiting. The servant greeted Su Yunxi with a smile. "Miss, you're finally back! Old Master Su has been thinking of you since New Year's Eve!"
"Now that you're here, Old Master Su can finally rest easy!"
Saying that, the servant quickly welcomed Su Yunxi and Chen Xuan inside.
In the villa's living room, a white-haired elder in a Tang suit sat on the sofa.
He had a tall and thin physique, a hint of frailty in his brows, and an aura of authority emanated from him.
This elder was Old Master Su!
"Grandpa!"
Seeing Old Master Su, Su Yunxi became emotional, her eyes filling with tears.
"Yunxi, Grandpa thought you had forgotten this old man and run off with some brat."
Old Master Su pretended to be angry, his face stern.
"Grandpa...!"
Su Yunxi's face turned red. "If you say that again, I'm going back to Jiangzhou."
Su Yunxi, a strong woman, likely only showed her girlish shyness in front of her grandfather.
"Hahaha, no more, no more! It's good that you're here!" Old Master Su laughed heartily.
"Grandpa, this is Chen Xuan."
Su Yunxi gestured to Chen Xuan, who was carrying bags of gifts, and introduced him.
"Hello, Grandpa!" Chen Xuan quickly greeted him.
"So you're Chen Xuan. Sit, sit here." Old Master Su warmly patted the sofa beside him, showing no airs.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Chen Xuan sat down next to Old Master Su.
Su Yunxi sat close to Chen Xuan.
Su Yunxi and Old Master Su chatted, while Chen Xuan mostly observed.
"By the way, Yunxi, go make a pot of tea. Grandpa's tea doesn't taste as good as yours," Old Master Su suddenly said.
Su Yunxi stood up and then paused, giving Old Master Su a knowing smile. "Grandpa, you're not going to try to pressure Chen Xuan while I'm away, like those snobbish relatives, are you?"
"Yunxi, what kind of person do you think Grandpa is?" Old Master Su stroked his beard and laughed.
"If you dare, I'll pull out all your beard."
In front of Old Master Su, Su Yunxi was like a child who never grew up.
Old Master Su's expression stiffened, and it seemed likely that Su Yunxi had indeed pulled his beard before.
Su Yunxi turned and left.
"Chen Xuan, I have a few things I need to say to you." Old Master Su looked at Chen Xuan, his gaze becoming a bit more serious.
"Grandpa, please speak freely," Chen Xuan said calmly.
"Then I'll be direct. Honestly, I'm not very optimistic about you."
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. Was this going to be another melodramatic scene like yesterday at the Su family?
However, Old Master Su was clearly rational. "But since Su Gan chose you, he must have his reasons. And since Su Gan chose to let you leave Jiangzhou and come to the provincial capital, he must believe you have the strength to be here.
"However, since Yunxi also likes you, I have no objections. But I hope you can protect Yunxi well and not let her get hurt."
Chen Xuan understood. So Old Master Su didn't believe in his strength.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect Yunxi well, and I will prove myself to you," Chen Xuan smiled calmly.
Old Master Su looked at Chen Xuan with a strange expression and sighed deeply. "If you can't stay in the provincial capital, go back to Jiangzhou. Staying in Jiangzhou might not be a bad thing for the Su family; at least it guarantees safety."
"Don't you also want to see the scenery in the capital, Old Master Su?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
Old Master Su sighed, a hint of nostalgia appearing on his face. "Yes, it's been a long time since I last saw the scenery from the Great Wall in the capital."
"Within three years, I will take you to see the scenery in the capital," Chen Xuan smiled.
