This situation was indeed instigated by the Xu family, and blaming Zishan for stirring up trouble wasn’t entirely fair. By refraining from making things difficult for the Su family in front of everyone the next day, the Xu family was already extending a courtesy. However, could Zishan refrain from causing a scene tomorrow?
“What’s going on? Did you two argue?” Zhou Yan inquired softly.
“Auntie, Song Zishan is here to cause trouble,” Xu Huihui whispered as she led Zhou Yan into the kitchen, recounting the events from the hotel in hushed tones.
Zhou Yan was taken aback. ‘You mean… Su Sixth Sister and the others are
Professor Su’s daughters?”
“I thought you knew, Auntie. It was Song Zishan who mentioned it, and Cousin lost his temper immediately. He neither confirmed nor denied it. I a.s.sumed you were aware, considering it’s such a significant matter. The Song family must be embarra.s.sed that Uncle accepted Professor Su’s daughter as his adopted daughter. Uncle dealt them quite a blow.”
Zhou Yan was at a loss for words. Weren’t the Su sisters from an ordinary rural family? How could one of them be Professor Su’s daughter?
“It can’t be true, right? I’ve been to their hometown. They’re just ordinary villagers,” Zhou Yan admitted guiltily.
Raising an eyebrow, Xu Huihui challenged, “Ordinary? Are Su Yao and Su
Duoduo ordinary? Is the eldest Big sister of the Su family ordinary?”
Zhou Yan persisted stubbornly, ‘Yes. The eldest sister of the Su family is ordinary.”
With a cold laugh, Xu Huihui remarked, “I’ve seen her, and she’s extraordinary. I dare to say that she’s even prettier than Song Zishan.”
Zhou Yan nodded proudly. “That’s for certain.”
Xu Huihui was left speechless.
“Auntie, what are the other Su sisters like?” Xu Huihui inquired curiously.
“You’ll find out tomorrow.”
“Will they all be there?”
“Fifth sister Su Jun won’t be coming. She is busy with her studies.”
“After coming all this way, why wouldn’t she come? Can she possibly be busier than us?”
“How about you? Busy playing around?”
Xu Huihui pouted playfully. “Auntie, you’re biased.”
“It’s not favouritism. Su Jun is destined to become the next Professor Su,” Zhou Yan concluded matter-of-factly.
“Su Jun? From Capital University?” Xu Huihui exclaimed. Though she didn’t attend Capital University herself, her family had connections, and she’d heard of the remarkable individuals from there.
‘Yes, that’s her.”
“And you still think they are some ordinary villagers?” Xu Huihui teased.
“The noodles are ready. No more excuses, ” Zhou Yan announced, bringing out the noodles and setting them on the dining table. After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them began eating, but Song Zishan remained motionless, holding her chopsticks.
“Auntie Zhou, I have a small request. Can you consider it?” Song Zishan spoke gently and sincerely, her eyes imploring Zhou Yan with a hint of helplessness.
It was a poignant sight.
“Tell me,” Zhou Yan prompted.
“That depends on the request, ” Zhou Yan replied cautiously.
“I hesitated before asking, but I couldn’t ignore it. Auntie Zhou, please, for my father’s sake, could you cancel tomorrow’s banquet?” Song Zishan requested, her tone hesitant.
