Chapter 1208: Chapter 1209: Were You Relatives in a Past Life?
After the dinner welcoming Cheng Yaozu, Xiao Ya took him to the hotel to settle in, while Cheng Su sat on the back of Qi Taiguo’s bicycle on the way home, chatting about the dinner.
"... Why does it seem like Xiao Ya and this Fourth Young Master are quite familiar with each other? Doesn’t Xiao Ya have a boyfriend?" Qi Taiguo asked.
"They broke up!" Cheng Su replied, holding his waist.
"Ah? Broke up?"
"I never thought they would last. Breaking up is actually for the best. With Xiao Ya’s temperament, even if she can accommodate and get along with Xiao Pinshan’s daughter for a while, what happens in the long run? Besides, their family backgrounds are worlds apart," Cheng Su said.
In marriage, while love between two people matters, there’s also something to be said for well-matched backgrounds, which makes sense.
If Xiao Ya were to be wronged, Mr. Ying and his family wouldn’t just stand by; they would definitely step in. With too much interference over time, the couple would start to have conflicts, and eventually, divorce wouldn’t be surprising. It’s better to break up now since they aren’t married yet.
It’s good that even after dating for so long, they didn’t reach the final step. Xiao Pinshan has been patient; his character is somewhat acceptable.
"So what about her and Cheng Yaozu?"
Cheng Su smiled slightly and said, "It depends on whether they have fate together. If they do, they could be quite a match!"
While talking, they returned to the courtyard, locked the bicycle, and went upstairs, where it was quiet.
"Hualing gave birth. I’ll go see her tomorrow. She went straight from the hospital to her mother’s house to rest," Cheng Su said as they passed by Hualing’s place.
"All right!"
Once they opened the door, Qi Taiguo, remembering the scrutinizing look Cheng Yaozu had given him today, pulled Cheng Su to sit down.
"Sit down first, I have something to say!"
Cheng Su found it amusing, "Just say what you have to say. What’s with the seriousness?"
"I felt like Cheng Yaozu was looking at me in a weird way today, similar to the way my father-in-law looked at me back then, scrutinizing. Is it just me being overly sensitive?" Qi Taiguo seemed doubtful.
Cheng Su chuckled and said, "Do you want to know why?"
Qi Taiguo nodded.
"It’s because he was looking at his brother-in-law through a brother’s eyes!" Cheng Su said.
Qi Taiguo felt even more puzzled; he couldn’t quite grasp what that meant.
Cheng Su explained about Old Master Cheng wanting to acknowledge her as his goddaughter, "Wouldn’t that make him somewhat like a brother if the relationship were recognized?"
Qi Taiguo was a bit stunned, "Recognize as a goddaughter?"
"It’s quite a surprise, right?" Cheng Su laughed lightly. "I also think so. Do you think this is a blessing from Heaven? Somehow, it doesn’t feel very real to me, being acknowledged by such a prestigious family feels like something out of a drama!"
"So what do you think?"
"I honestly don’t mind. In my heart, Old Master Cheng is just a lovable old man, a grandpa, and of course, I respect him as an elder," Cheng Su said.
"Old Master Cheng must have seen the kindness in your nature and how you resemble his long-lost sister," Qi Taiguo mused. "Hey, do you think in your past life you were an orphan, possibly a descendant of that lost lady from the Cheng family? You might have been relatives in a past life, so you have such a connection in this life?"
Cheng Su laughed at that, "You really have a vivid imagination. I chose my name, Cheng Su, myself."
"But maybe not in a past life!" Qi Taiguo looked at her.
Cheng Su felt a bit strange inside but quickly dismissed the thought. It’s impossible. If it were true, given the power of the Cheng family, how could they not have found an orphan like her!
