It was awkward for an old man like him to teach his granddaughter about romance.
Therefore, he could only entrust this important task to books.
Huh?
No, that wasn't quite right.
Perhaps his grandson could lend a hand.
Thinking of Su Xingyang, Old Master Su's face broke into a smile.
The romantic entanglements between young people should be left to them to resolve.
He just needed to give his grandson a few instructions, and that should be enough.
"Alright, Grandpa, I'll go to a bookstore nearby this afternoon and look for books on dating," Su Yuyan nodded slightly.
She really needed to take this matter to heart.
After all, the agreement between her and Zhou Yu was already half-fulfilled.
It was still unknown how far their contractual marriage would go.
Su Yuyan's father was no longer the head of the Su family, her stepmother Zhang Rufeng had died, and her grandfather was about to take over the Su family again. Her marital freedom would soon be maximally satisfied.
Even though...
She was already married.
"Right, right, I'll have that boy Xingyang go with you and help you brainstorm."
"Won't he make fun of me?"
"How dare he! I'll spank him!"
"Hehe, Grandpa, you really spoil me the most."
Su Yuyan swayed the old man's arm, her face full of a happy smile.
Perhaps, in losing her father, life hadn't turned out as bad as she'd imagined.
When had she last felt fatherly love?
Su Yuyan couldn't remember.
Perhaps it was after her mother died, or perhaps it was when she learned that Su Qishan intended to marry her off to Zhang Shaohua.
In any case.
She didn't have deep feelings for her biological father.
Of course, it was also possible that Su Qishan had never treated her as his own daughter.
...
At the same time.
Here in the main hall of the Su family.
"Achoo!"
Su Xingyang was about to eat a dessert when, for some reason, he let out a loud sneeze.
The sneeze came so suddenly that he almost fell off his chair.
It was incredibly powerful!
"Damn, who's cursing me! What bad luck, I almost fell. Brother-in-law, are you okay? Did I accidentally... injure you?"
Su Xingyang rubbed the back of his head and looked at Zhou Yu awkwardly.
He was afraid that his sneeze had hit his cousin-in-law.
Su Xingyang wanted to maintain a good relationship with Zhou Yu.
He wouldn't dare offend this powerful figure who was a master physician, a martial arts expert, and a divine calculator all rolled into one.
Yes, in Su Xingyang's eyes, Zhou Yu was undoubtedly a major player.
After all, not many men could pass Su Yuyan's test.
What happened today had made Su Xingyang redefine his understanding of a "major player."
"I'm fine."
Zhou Yu shook his head slightly.
He had instinctively moved away from the direction Su Xingyang was facing and was unaffected.
But then again, this cousin's sneeze was indeed strange.
So he asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, maybe it's like the older generation says, someone's talking about me behind my back," Su Xingyang said dejectedly.
He was usually kind to others and never got into arguments.
If there was any conflict, it was only in school when he "stole" another male classmate's girlfriend.
But that incident was purely because the girl had taken the initiative, not because he had actively pursued her.
"Is it possible that your grandfather was talking about you while he was talking with Yuyan?" Zhou Yu guessed.
Judging by the timing, his deduction was highly plausible.
"No way, why would my grandfather and my cousin talk about me..."
Su Xingyang was about to say why they would discuss him.
Unexpectedly, his father, Su Qichuan, walked over.
"Xingyang, your grandfather wants to see you. He has something to tell you."
Hearing his father's urgency, Su Xingyang looked incredulous.
He gave Zhou Yu a thumbs-up and then replied to his father, "Okay, Dad, I'm going now. What about my cousin? Isn't she going to entertain Brother-in-law?"
"Are you stupid? Does your brother-in-law need your cousin to entertain him? Am I not here?" Su Qichuan glared.
"Alright, I'm off."
Su Xingyang dared not retort and quickly made his escape.
"This kid, so slippery," Su Qichuan muttered as he watched his son's retreating back.
He turned back, smiled at Zhou Yu, and then sat in the seat Su Xingyang had just vacated.
Holy cow!
Did this unlucky kid have a heated seat cushion?
Why was the spot he sat on so warm!
"Second Uncle, you seem to have a good relationship with Xingyang," Zhou Yu said first.
Actually, this was the first time he was meeting his in-laws in a true sense.
Su Qishan and Zhang Rufeng?
Let's not even go there.
"Xiao Yu, calling me Second Uncle is too formal. Just call me Uncle Su. That way... um... that way it doesn't sound quite right..." Su Qichuan was suddenly taken aback.
Uncle Su?
Uncle?
This was intentionally making things difficult!
Su Qichuan had never realized that his name was so awkward to say.
Why hadn't he noticed it before?
"How about this, I'll call you Uncle Chuan?" Zhou Yu suggested.
"That's good, I'll go with that," Su Qichuan said happily.
He knew his father valued Zhou Yu very much.
Therefore, he naturally regarded this young man in front of him as part of the Su family.
Su Qichuan was very curious about who Zhou Yu's master was, and why Old Master Su was so fond of him.
When the old man was young, he was willing to betroth his precious granddaughter to Zhou Yu. This showed that Zhou Yu's master must be an extraordinary person.
Was the other party also a master physician?
Su Qichuan couldn't figure it out.
Because of this, Zhou Yu's background and origins seemed even more mysterious.
Su Qichuan didn't know at this moment that Zhou Yu was once part of the Zhou family in Jiangnan City. If he had known, he would have been greatly astonished.
Because during his years in Jiangnan City, Su Qichuan had heard too many rumors about the Zhou family.
"Uncle Chuan, you've been operating a clothing company in Jiangnan City for many years. Have you found any development prospects?" Zhou Yu asked casually.
Su Qichuan sighed, "Alas, Jiangnan is not like Yunhai. Doing business in clothing there is incredibly difficult. If I hadn't been a tiny bit lucky three years ago, the Su family's branch company would have gone bankrupt under my watch."
Zhou Yu's question reminded Su Qichuan of the incident three years ago.
If it hadn't been for the help of a benefactor back then, he feared he would have lost so much money that he wouldn't even be able to afford a train ticket back to Yunhai.
And that benefactor was equally mysterious.
To this day, he still didn't know the person's identity.
"Then have you heard of the Zhou family in Jiangnan, Uncle Chuan?" Zhou Yu asked again.
"The Zhou family? You mean that super-first-class family that has the potential to ascend to the ranks of top-tier families?" Su Qichuan confirmed.
Su Qichuan didn't believe that Zhou Yu's sudden mention of the Zhou family was a casual inquiry.
Wait a minute!
Zhou Yu...
The Zhou family in Jiangnan...
Could it be!
Su Qichuan finally realized how significant a detail he had overlooked!
Could Zhou Yu have a connection to the Zhou family in Jiangnan?
Su Qichuan's mouth was slightly agape, and he didn't close it for a long time.
He couldn't believe his guess.
Because it was simply too unbelievable!
His eldest brother's daughter had formed a marriage bond with someone from the Zhou family!
