The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 125 - 129: The Creature Known as Phoenix Man (Part 11)

Chapter 125: Chapter 129: The Creature Known as Phoenix Man (Part 11)

Zheng Zhanpeng, deeply afraid that Su Li might utter something even more unbearable, hurriedly took Su Qing’s hand and bowed to Su Li, "Mom, we’ll take our leave for now, and come to visit you another day when you are in a better mood."

Seeing the clearly dissatisfied expressions of her parents and wanting to speak, Zheng Zhanpeng swiftly stepped forward, pushing and pulling the group out the door while coaxing them with low voices.

Su Qing, hesitant to speak, wanted to say a few soft words to Su Li, but she knew the other party was definitely fuming with anger, so in the end, she only left behind a sentence, "Mom, I’ll bring Zhanpeng back to see you in a few days."

Clearly, this family hadn’t taken any of the words Su Li had said earlier to heart, and Su Qing, preoccupied with a series of vexing matters, hadn’t mentioned their grandfather who had just been angered to the point of ill health.

Zheng Zhaodi and Zheng Qiudi left reluctantly, looking back every three steps; how wonderful the scenery here was, and the house was large and comfortable. If only they could live here forever.

Zheng Youli and Shi Erxiu, not having achieved their goal for today, were very displeased. Zheng Youli pulled a long face, and his attitude towards Su Qing was even more unpleasant.

It was all her fault; her mother didn’t properly persuade and put on a show of displeasure to the in-laws’ family; it really was impolite. freēnovelkiss.com

As soon as Shi Erxiu opened her mouth, knowing what kind of character her son Zheng Zhanpeng had, he immediately pulled her aside, "Mom, can’t you be a bit nicer to Su Qing? She’s carrying our family’s child, after all."

Shi Erxiu, extremely upset, grabbed Zheng Zhanpeng’s ear without mercy, "Didn’t you see what her mom said... how dare she talk about wanting to abort our family’s grandson."

"He mom is just speaking out of anger; you all could have just put up with it for a moment, now isn’t it still the time when she has to fork out money... Don’t you see how tough she’s acting now, it’s all talk, you have to know Su Qing is the only child of the Su family, in the end, she will still have to compromise. If you are a bit nicer to Su Qing, she will only treat you better in the future..."

"And there’s big sister and second sister, their in-laws have always looked down on us, saying our family sold our daughter... Later, let Qingqing buy a car for both big sister’s husband and second sister’s husband, then they will also know that our family values our daughter..."

Zheng Zhanpeng was slowly smoothing things over for Shi Erxiu, fearing that her sharp tongue would say something that would make Su Qing uncomfortable.

Frowning, Shi Erxiu pondered for a while and after a long hesitation, she finally nodded, "Alright, Mom will listen to you."

In her heart, though, the real thought was rather uncomfortable; from ancient times to the present, there was no precedent where a mother-in-law coaxed a daughter-in-law, but since her college-educated son said so, there must be a reason behind it.

Shi Erxiu reluctantly rubbed her face, pulling up a kind smile and said to Su Qing in a gentle voice, "Qingqing, don’t worry... if your mom won’t prepare the wedding, your father-in-law and I will break the pot to sell iron to organize it for you."

Zheng Qiudi also smartly quickly made a stance in front of her brother, "And me, I and Zhanpeng’s brother-in-law will help too." She had eavesdropped on her little brother planning to ask his sister-in-law for money to buy a car for her.

Thinking of this, she was beaming with happiness; after all, it was just lip service on her part, everyone knew the situation in her family — even if she were to help, at most she would do some errands, but if it came to spending money, she could only spread her hands, empty.

Talking big was hardly a difficult task; maybe with her such determination, it would make her brother and sister-in-law happy, possibly getting her some extra gifts.

Just now, she had seen for herself just how generous a rich family like her sister-in-law’s could be, surely they wouldn’t skimp on slipping something her way.

Zheng Zhaodi, knowing her second sister had always been sharper than herself, hurriedly made a stance, not daring to fall behind.

For a moment, the Zheng family exhibited unity and harmony, creating a sense of joy that warmed Su Qing’s heart, the kind she had always longed for since childhood.

"How is my dad now?"

Doctor Wang set down his stethoscope and pushed up his glasses, "The old man was overly stressed today, which caused a bout of heart trouble; he needs some time to recuperate, and during this period, emotional fluctuations should be avoided, or the consequences will be unthinkable."

Su Li: "Hmm, thank you for today..."

Doctor Wang hesitated to speak and, while tidying up his medical kit, his gaze kept drifting towards Su Li, making it impossible for her to ignore him.

Reluctantly, Su Li stopped her step towards the room. "Doctor Wang, is there anything else?"

Doctor Wang was a genteel middle-aged man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His mild temperament was quite appealing.

"I..." Doctor Wang hesitated briefly, then his gaze turned resolute. He asked, "Have you ever considered finding someone else?"

"Someone to lean on when you’re tired."

What?

Su Li looked him up and down. Had he disguised his feelings too well, or was she just not paying enough attention?

She had been acquainted with him for some time but had never realized this was what he thought of her.

"I’m quite good at my job, earn a decent income, have a good reputation outside. I’m divorced, with a daughter, living with my ex-wife..."

Before he could finish, Su Li interrupted. "Doctor Wang, you’re a good catch. Surely there are better women out there for you. I... haven’t thought about that kind of thing for now."

The life of a single person was too comfortable. Besides, she was a wealthy and powerful female CEO. Why would she want to shackle herself?

Doctor Wang’s slightly bashful expression returned to normal immediately after Su Li’s clear rejection, as if nothing had happened. He remained the serious and professional family doctor to the Su Family.

Doctor Wang’s sudden advance reminded Su Li that the body she occupied wasn’t too old—she was not yet fifty.

Moreover, with the spiritual energy she absorbed, her body’s condition remained extremely healthy. She looked as if she was just in her early thirties, and those unaware wouldn’t expect her to have a daughter in her twenties.

This led Su Li to consider another possibility...

"Cough cough cough..." The sound of Su Fugui’s coughing could be heard from inside.

"I will go in now, Doctor Wang. Make yourself at home."

Su Fugui looked dejected as he watched his daughter enter, but mustered some energy and craned his neck to look expectantly behind her.

Su Li shook her head. "Su Qing left with that family."

"Eh... How come..." Su Fugui looked devastated, which was painfully upsetting to witness.

Su Fugui could not come to terms with the cold-heartedness of his granddaughter, whom he had raised with his own hands.

"Is Qingqing truly devoted to that family? Can’t she be separated from them?"

"Did you show her all those documents?"

"Does she not even want her grandfather anymore?"

Su Fugui posed three questions in a row, not making it clear whether he was talking to himself or to Su Li.

Looking at the person in front of her, Su Li felt the thought in her mind growing stronger.

"Dad, I have a plan I want to discuss with you..."
