Chapter 525: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (64)
Su Xiangran had never expected that the secret in her hands would soon be discovered by her mother Cao Wanning. She stammered and wanted to say a few words in defense.
However, before she could say anything, she heard Cao Wanning say in an unusually calm tone: "Don't try to deceive me."
"No, no, I will never lie to you, mother." Su Xiangran quickly overturned the few excuses that had just flashed through her mind.
"In addition to shooting, you can also ride a horse, right?" Cao Wanning's eyes were full of insight. "No wonder your uncle always wrote to say that you performed very well."
Cao Wanning didn't even give Su Xiangran a chance to respond, and immediately threw out another sentence: "Not only do they look alike, but even their abilities are exactly the same.
If I didn't know clearly that you were indeed my biological daughter who I carried for ten months, I would probably suspect that you were switched."
"Mother, who are you talking about?" In fact, Su Xiangran was full of curiosity about the person Cao Wanning mentioned.
Because her uncle Cao Ce had once said similar words to her, especially when she was able to successfully shoot the bullet and hit the bull's eye accurately.
"Who is it? I won't tell you. You don't know her anyway." Cao Wanning looked his daughter up and down again. "Does your brother know about these things?"
"I don't know." Su Xiangran shook her head. "It was my uncle who picked me up to go to the military camp every time. My brother only knew that my uncle took me out to play."
"Does anyone else know about this?" Cao Wanning decided to ask more clearly.
"My aunt probably knows something." A figure appeared in Su Xiangran's mind. She hesitated a little, but finally said it out loud, "Brother Jing also knows."
"Song family's young master, Song Chengjing?" Cao Wanning's expression became a little strange, "How did he know? Did he persuade you to give up?"
"No! Brother Ajing said that he supports whatever I want." Su Xiangran said happily.
Cao Wanning felt even more strange. Suddenly, she thought of a possibility and said, "The young master of the Song family is about the same age as your brother. Has his family arranged a marriage for him?"
Su Xiangran frowned. She didn't like this topic a bit, but she still answered truthfully: "Brother Jing said that a good man has ambitions, and he is not in a hurry about this matter."
Well! This is also a fool. I guess Song Chengjing is really targeting someone.
"It seems that you have a very good relationship with the young master of the Song family! You actually told him something that your brother didn't know." Cao Wanning mentioned tentatively.
Su Xiangran said somewhat awkwardly: "I didn't tell him. He discovered it on his own initiative. When I first started learning, I always got a few minor injuries. Speaking of which, he found all those medicines for me."
After saying this, Su Xiangran couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Su Xiangran has the skills of horse riding and archery, but this body has never been exposed to these before.
When you first start riding a horse, although it is not difficult, you don’t have enough physical strength. Moreover, after riding for a long time, some parts of your body will inevitably become broken and swollen.
This affected her walking posture, and Song Chengjing noticed it after a few times. He felt very distressed, but he also knew Su Xiangran's determination to learn horse riding.
Therefore, he would get the best medicine for the wound and encourage Su Xiangran, but he would not persuade her to give up.
Fortunately, after the body adapted, it gradually got better and the need for medicine was not as great as it was at the beginning.
Seeing his daughter acting like a little girl, Cao Wanning's heart moved and he couldn't help but think: Maybe I don't need to worry about her marriage anymore.
Time at home always passes quickly. In a blink of an eye, the Su brothers and sisters have lived in Jincheng for a month. At the end of the vacation, the two need to return to Haicheng to continue their studies.
But this time, their parents, the Su couple, were also accompanying them.
Because after the New Year, the Cao family and the Xie family will hold an engagement ceremony, and as Cao Shixun's elders, they still have to attend.
The engagement ceremony went smoothly, and not long after, Cao Ce received the "first payment" from the Xie family.
After completing their "mission", the engaged couple Cao Ce and Xie Wanru returned to their respective schools to continue their studies.
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed. Su Yanqing's excellence impressed the teachers at school. They recommended him to study abroad. Although he was only an exchange student for two years, it was already a rare opportunity.
At the same time, Song Chengjing also received a letter of recommendation from the school, and he was also going to study abroad. Their destination this time was the UK.
"Studying abroad is a good thing, but I'm worried about Xiaoran." Su Yanqing complained to his good friend Song Chengjing that day, "Xiaoran is already twelve years old, and my father mentioned before that he would find a family for her when she turns fourteen.
Although I will only be away for two years, studying abroad is not easy. What if I come back too late and she doesn't like the man her parents found for her? "
Song Chengjing raised his lips and offered another idea: "Have you ever thought about taking her abroad with you?"
