Chapter 532: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (71)

"Yes! My little miss is very good, and she will go abroad with Young Master Song!" Aunt Hong smiled with a proud look on her face, "The little miss has passed the exam and successfully got a letter of recommendation. She will go abroad with the eldest young master to study medicine."

After listening to what Nanny Hong said, Cao Shixun's mood gradually became heavy.

Originally, he thought that even if his cousin was engaged to Song Seung-kyung, he was about to study abroad, and there was a full ten-year age gap between them.

Who knows, when Song Chengjing returns from his studies, perhaps the situation will have changed!

However, what he never expected was that this shrewd guy had already planned it, and Song Chengjing had never intended to keep Su Xiangran in the country.

Even the recommendation letters needed for studying abroad have been carefully planned and arranged.

When Cao Shixun thought of this, he gritted his teeth in anger.

At this moment, Su Xiangran's voice suddenly came: "Cousin, why are you here? Aren't you busy preparing for the wedding recently? You actually have some free time to come to my house!"

Cao Shixun turned his head to look at Su Xiangran who had just returned home. When he was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of Song Chengjing standing behind her.

Song Chengjing looked at Cao Shixun and smiled, "Brother-in-law, great! We have been too busy recently and haven't had time to congratulate you on your upcoming wedding!"

Cao Shixun felt suffocated, but he suppressed his anger and said with a fake smile: "Thank you for the blessing of my future brother-in-law. We will be a family in the future. I will have to rely on my brother-in-law to take care of my cousin."

He emphasized the word "future".

Song Chengjing seemed not to notice his displeasure and replied with a smile: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Taking care of Xiaoran is what I should do."

Su Xiangran noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a little subtle, but she was still polite to Cao Shixun as always: "Hey, you two should stop being polite to each other.

"Cousin, what are you doing here today? If you're looking for my brother, he hasn't come back yet. There are a few experimental data that need urgent attention recently, so he often leaves early and comes back late."

Cao Shixun looked at Su Xiangran, then at Song Chengjing, gritted his teeth, and finally said nothing, but forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I just came to see you and congratulate you.

Since you are all busy, I won't bother you anymore and will leave first."

After saying that, Cao Shixun turned and walked out the door.

Looking at Cao Shixun's departing back, Su Xiangran couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Brother Jing, what happened to my cousin? He seems a little unhappy."

Song Chengjing smiled nonchalantly and said, "Maybe it's because the wedding is too tiring. You don't have to worry about it."

Su Xiangran nodded, and without thinking any more, she went into the house with Song Chengjing.

But they didn't notice that the person who should have already left was now standing at the door, facing them. He watched Su Xiangran and Song Chengjing disappear from his sight before leaving the Su Mansion.

After leaving the Su family, Cao Shixun still did not return to the Cao Mansion. Instead, he came to the place where the Cao family’s army practiced shooting and fired many shots at the target.

The soldiers who were watching him "practicing shooting" thought that Cao Shixun's shooting skills were good, but he had hit the bull's eye several times and had no intention of stopping, so they felt that something was wrong.

He immediately told the people around Cao Ce about this matter.

Cao Ce happened to be in the military camp right now and had not returned yet. Seeing his adjutant's embarrassed expression, he asked him to tell the truth.

"Marshal, it's nothing." The adjutant said hesitantly, "Young Marshal, I was practicing with my spear, but something seemed a little off, so the people below came over to talk to me."

Cao Ce has made good progress in recent years and has "changed" his title of military governor and was officially appointed as the commander-in-chief.

He frowned slightly and decided to go over and take a look.

As soon as we arrived at the training ground, we saw a target full of bullet holes and a bullet shell at Cao Shixun's feet.

Seeing his son about to reload his gun, Cao Ce spoke up: "Your shooting skills are already pretty good, so don't waste bullets like this. Although these weapons were given by the higher-ups, your future father-in-law also gave some support.

It's not good for you to waste it like this."

Cao Shixun paused while loading the bullets, turned back to look at his father, and said in a somewhat grim tone: "Dad, did you know that my cousin and Song Chengjing will go abroad after getting engaged?"

"I know!" Cao Ce said calmly, "I was there on the day of the engagement. I am Xiao Ran's uncle, but I sat in the guest of honor seat. Xiao Ran is a very capable girl, both civil and military, she can ride a horse and shoot a gun, and her studies are also good. In this respect, she is much better than you brothers and sisters.

You said, how come such a powerful person is not my biological daughter! "

"Dad!" Cao Shixun interrupted Cao Ce. When he wanted to say something else, he was stared at by the other party with stern eyes.

Cao Ce looked at his son like this, and then slowly said: "Xiao Ran is your sister. You are smart, beautiful, and capable, and she can coax the future head of the Song family to get engaged to her. The Xie family is already tied to our family.

If I have such a relationship with the Song family, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. A good man has ambitions. Just look at the things that are just passing by. If you pay too much attention to them, they will all be in vain in the end. "
