My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 614 - 608 Li Family Visitors Are Here
Chapter 614: Chapter 608 Li Family Visitors Are Here
Su Xuan force-fed Qiuyue the remaining third of the Snow Lotus, which not only did not cause any aversion in her but also deepened her feelings for him.
Qiuyue couldn’t figure out why it was because of her that both Su Xuan and Li Yuanyuan were poisoned, and now Su Xuan had saved a portion of the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus for her; his heart was just too kind.
Su Xuan and Qiuyue came to the Song Family again, and only now did Su Xuan realize that they had each eaten a third of the Snow Lotus, which could only sustain their lives for another week. A person would need a complete Snow Lotus to fully recover.
"A week should be enough,"
Su Xuan thought to himself. Although he had heard that the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus was rarely encountered on Mount Everest, he had a stubborn belief that he was destined to find one.
"Get ready. We’ll set off tomorrow morning, but you can choose not to go,"
"I’m going!"
Su Xuan said to Qiuyue. After all, the quest for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus was fraught with danger, but he didn’t expect Qiuyue would agree outright; she wanted to accompany him.
Because Su Xuan had left a portion of the Snow Lotus for her before, Qiuyue was particularly moved. Now that Su Xuan was preparing to search for more Snow Lotuses, she could not let him go alone; she insisted on following him.
Su Xuan arrived at the Song Family to stay, and when Song Tianbao found out about his return, he didn’t interfere too much. For the Song Family, the most important task was to prepare for the arrival of the Li family to propose marriage.
Until now, Su Xuan was still in the dark about Song Shuangshuang trading her happiness for a Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to help him. She was truly foolish, foolish to the extreme.
Qiuyue, a former assassin, still maintained her excellent ability to gather intelligence. The affairs of the Song Family did not escape her ears; she overheard this from the family servants and was considering whether to tell Su Xuan.
In the end, she decided to tell him.
Su Xuan was completely stunned and stood frozen in place for a long time before regaining his senses.
"Is what you said true? If so, then Song Shuangshuang is too foolish. How could she treat her own happiness like a joke? Marriage is a lifelong matter for a person. She’s too childish!"
Su Xuan agonized internally, knowing that Song Shuangshuang did it to exchange for a Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus for him, which only extended their lives by a week. At that time, Song Shuangshuang wasn’t aware that more than one person had consumed it. Oh, this matter was quite poorly handled.
"When will the Li family come to propose?"
Su Xuan asked Qiuyue. He knew Song Shuangshuang must not like the Li family’s son, but Song Tianbao was adamant about his daughter marrying into their family.
Su Xuan didn’t understand Song Shuangshuang’s thoughts and wanted to talk to her personally.
"Qiuyue, let’s put the search for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus on hold for now, until I find out more about Song Shuangshuang’s situation."
Su Xuan and Qiuyue discussed. If the matter of Song Shuangshuang couldn’t be resolved satisfactorily, he wouldn’t be able to rest easy even if he went searching for the Snow Lotus.
Knock, knock, knock!
Because Su Xuan was still known as Song Shuangshuang’s Study Companion, no one dared to stop him when he came to see her.
The door opened, and when Song Shuangshuang saw it was Su Xuan, her mood gradually improved. She quickly hid the tear streaks on the corners of her eyes, fearing that Su Xuan would see them.
"I heard that Li Tianming from the Li family is coming to propose marriage tomorrow?"
Su Xuan asked bluntly.
Song Shuangshuang didn’t expect Su Xuan to find out so quickly. She nodded vigorously; she had already agreed on the day she sought the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus for Su Xuan that she would marry Li Tianming, the son of the Li family, if she could get the Snow Lotus.
"Yes, they’re coming tomorrow. You don’t have to worry; I’ve heard Li Tianming is a decent person, and my father thinks highly of him," ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Song Shuangshuang said, feigning strength, yet tears of grievance still uncontrollably flowed from her eyes.
"Don’t torment yourself anymore. I can find a way to send you to Qiutian City so you can leave the Song Family immediately. Besides, the outside world is much more advanced than here; you’ll definitely like it outside." This idea had been brewing in Su Xuan’s mind for a long time. Taking Song Shuangshuang away might be a good thing indeed. Living a secluded life on Mount Everest was too dull. It’s a wonder how Song Shuangshuang had endured the past days, no surprise that even fishing could make her happy for half a day.
"I can’t leave. My father is getting old, and I can’t leave him alone,"
Unexpectedly, Song Shuangshuang was quite a filial girl.
"Still, you can’t sacrifice your own happiness. You’re only eighteen years old, and at such a young age, you should be going to university. Sigh..."
"What’s going to university? Is that some kind of school in the outside world?" Song Shuangshuang asked curiously. With no smartphones around and long cut off from the world, Su Xuan really wanted to take Song Shuangshuang outside.
"I won’t let you jump into the fire pit!"
Su Xuan didn’t know what to do at the moment and could only play it by ear. He wouldn’t ignore Song Shuangshuang’s situation. Since tomorrow was the day the Li family was coming to propose, Su Xuan couldn’t go searching for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and instead decided to stay to see what the Li family was like.
If Li Tianming was a decent man, that would be fine, but if he turned out to be utterly despicable, Su Xuan was determined to break them up personally. Although it’s usually better to counsel union than separation, the actual situation must be considered. Song Shuangshuang’s case was an exception.
Today, the Song Family had already started to decorate with lanterns and streamers, getting ready for the marriage proposal ceremony tomorrow. Song Tianbao even purposely sent someone to relay a message to Su Xuan, telling him not to come over to study with Song Shuangshuang for the next few days. Su Xuan understood; he was afraid that when Li Tianming arrived, seeing Su Xuan and Song Shuangshuang too close might cause discomfort to the visitor.
Su Xuan didn’t believe in this superstition and was curious to see what kind of person Li Tianming really was.
Time passed quickly, and Su Xuan and Qiuyue stayed at the Song Family’s house waiting for the Li Family’s people to arrive. The next day, the Song Family’s logistics plane left early, probably to pick up the Li Family’s people.
The Song Family’s home was abuzz with festive decorations, a joyous scene throughout. At her father’s request, Song Shuangshuang also changed into new clothes, donning a snow-white mink coat and wearing a red headband, which made her quite noticeable. Coupled with her beautiful face, she was adorable to the extreme; her delicately featured face would make anyone want to kiss her on sight.
But Song Shuangshuang couldn’t feel happy, fiddling non-stop with the hem of her clothes, feeling quite uneasy in her heart.
"Shuangshuang, today is a good day, cheer up. Otherwise, the Li Family might think I’m mistreating you," said Song Tianbao as he too changed into a fur cloak that day, exuding the full air of a Family Head.
The entire Song Family, after a day of busyness yesterday, was all for today’s moment.
Suddenly, someone outside reported that the Li Family’s people had arrived on a plane!
Everyone was invigorated by the news, except for Song Shuangshuang, who felt a tightness in her heart, unsure of what the Li Family people were like. She felt uneasy about agreeing to this marriage, especially when she knew that the poison in Su Xuan’s body had not been cured yet.
But it was already too late for regrets.
Su Xuan and Qiuyue also came to the front to join in the excitement. Although it was said to be for fun, in reality, Su Xuan was there to watch out for Song Shuangshuang. If Song Shuangshuang and Li Tianming, the Li Family’s son, fell in love at first sight, it would save Su Xuan a lot of trouble, and that would be a good thing too.
Finally, the Li Family’s people arrived, a group of five or six people led by a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in branded clothing and wearing a limited edition watch on his wrist that Su Xuan knew was worth at least a million.
The young man curiously looked at the Song Family’s residence, surprised to find such primitive housing here, his curiosity piqued. Of course, he was even more concerned about whether Song Shuangshuang was good-looking.
"How does it feel?" asked Qiuyue to Su Xuan, as they had both seen what Li Tianming looked like. It was not easy to discern his character just by appearance; they would have to judge from his speech, expression, and demeanor.
"Let’s go and have a look. I always feel that he’s not suitable for Song Shuangshuang," said Su Xuan.
It was unclear whether Su Xuan was jealously speaking from the heart or genuinely by intuition.
Soon, everyone gathered in the Song Family’s reception hall. This time, only Li Tianming and his entourage from the Li Family had come, bringing several boxes of valuable gifts as a marriage proposal.
Seeing that Li Tianming, though young, already possessed some of his father’s aura, Song Tianbao was overjoyed. The Song and Li Families had been friends for generations, and naturally, he hoped the younger generation could come together.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad!" Song Tianbao remarked with satisfaction upon seeing Li Tianming.
Li Tianming was very polite to Song Tianbao, actively serving tea and water, much like a son taking care of his own father!
After sitting for a while, Li Tianming took the initiative to ask, "Where is Shuangshuang right now? Since I’ve come, let’s have her come out and meet.
This marriage proposal visit had Li Tianming nervous to death. He feared that Song Shuangshuang might be extremely ugly. If she really was too ugly, he would find excuses to call off the marriage, even if it was arranged by his own father.
"Right, I almost forgot the main business. I will call for Shuangshuang. From the first glance I saw you, I felt like you and my Shuangshuang were a match made in heaven," Song Tianbao said, seemingly eager to marry off his daughter.
To Su Xuan, Song Tianbao had the aura of someone desperate to marry off a daughter.
Hearing Song Tianbao’s words, Li Tianming gave an awkward smile. If Song Shuangshuang turned out to be an ugly girl, he wouldn’t marry her. He arrived at the Song Family residence with the mindset of being on a vacation. After all, with the family business back home, he didn’t need to be involved. They would make money for him to spend, living a life of ease every day. Aside from Mount Everest, which he hadn’t climbed, Li Tianming had visited many of the world’s mountainous tourist attractions.
"Go and call Shuangshuang out, tell her that the Li Family’s people have arrived," Song Tianbao instructed the butler, urging him to fetch Song Shuangshuang quickly.
Song Shuangshuang was in her boudoir at this time, waiting anxiously. She did not want to marry Li Tianming at all, but having just agreed to her father’s wishes a few days before, she could not refuse to meet the guests now. At last, she mustered up the courage, took several deep breaths, and stepped out the door.
At that moment, Li Tianming silently prayed, hoping she wouldn’t be an ugly girl.
Song Shuangshuang had made an effort to dress up that day. Naturally stunning, her adornments only added to her allure, and it could be said that no man would find reason to refuse her.
"She’s coming."
Song Tianbao said happily to Li Tianming.
"Whoosh!"
The moment Li Tianming saw Song Shuangshuang, his eyes fixated on her, and he was so entranced that he didn’t even notice the tea cup slip from his hand and shatter on the floor.
