Chapter 98
So, going abroad is not an option, at least Yang Yuyan can’t think of a foolproof place to put the three of them, plus Zhang Ma, who doesn’t know any foreign language.
Also, she didn’t know if Su Chunjun would be willing to go with her.
Subconsciously, she felt that he would not be willing.
She thought what he wanted to do could only be done here. Because if he wanted to leave, he would have left long ago.
Although he never said it, she believed that in his heart he wanted to save this country.
He had the heart to save the country.
She thought that was the reason why he and Prof. Dai could be good friends.
Prof. Dai had always admired Su Chunjun, and this admiration had not diminished because he had joined the Finance Bureau.
In her classroom, many people believe that those who want to join the government nowadays are all after money, and that they become officials for the sake of corruption.
Therefore, they also thought that Su Chunjun was in the Finance Bureau because he wanted to embezzle.
Even the students on Su Chunjun’s side didn’t deny this. At most, they think that even if they are corrupt, they are only forced to do it out of necessity, or else the money will be coveted by the big officials. Big officials can be greedy, small people can be greedy a little, pay a rent, utilities, buy a little bit of food, what is wrong with this?
Only Yang Yuyan and Prof. Dai believe that Su Chunjun didn’t enter the Finance Bureau for the sake of money grubbing.
Su Chunjun is now trying to climb up the ladder, trying to seize more power, because only when his power grows bigger and bigger, he can stand on the position that can save China.
This is her idea, she has not communicated with him yet, just put it in her heart and thought about it. It was also a pleasure to imagine what kind of person the love of her life was.
That’s why she never looked down on him for being greedy for money at the Finance Bureau, it was all because she believed that his true purpose was not here.
Su Chunjun, who held such a belief, was unlikely to go with her.
But even if she had thought it through long ago, she still wanted to escape when the time came. But when she thought about Zhu Yanshu, Yang Yucan, Zhang Ma, and Su Chunjun, she had to give up this idea and think of other ways.
Su Chunjun saw that Miss Yang’s face showed a depressed color, and did not want to let her worry about it, so he quickly said, “Don’t be afraid, I have already thought about it, and after a while, I will buy a house in the French Concession, and you will all move over there to live.”
Yang Yuyan’s eyes widened, “What? Moving?”
Su Chunjun nodded, “I’ve already looked after the house, if there is a conflict, the French Concession is full of foreigners and guarded by soldiers, so it won’t be dangerous. This side of the building will be closed first, and all the valuable things will be locked up or sent to pawn first, and then just redeemed when the situation calms down.”
Hearing this solution, let Yang Yuyan head of the dark clouds all of a sudden dispersed, the sunshine through the clouds sprinkled down, her pain for so long difficult things all of a sudden solved! Compared to fleeing to a foreign country or fleeing to the countryside, moving a home obviously had a higher execution rate.
She immediately said, “Then I’ll talk to my mom!”
Su Chunjun cleared his throat, he had already finished eating, poured a cup of water and drank it in, rinsing out the residue in his mouth, he turned to Yang Yuyan and said softly, “When …… it’s a while later, we’ll go together to say it, the success rate is higher.”
Yang Yuyan smiled and nodded, “Good ah.” After saying this, she was about to pull him to stand up, and the two of them went to talk elsewhere.
Su Chunjun took her hand, pulled out the brocade box in his pocket, opened it, set it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Yang Yuyan.
In this moment, he forgot to be smooth, forgot to be clever, he became green and ignorant, like a teenager who didn’t know anything and couldn’t do anything.
Yang Yuyan looked at the ring in the brocade box and let out a wow exclamation: ”Is it a diamond? Is this ordered for your boss?”
Su Chunjun froze, then remembered that he had spoken countless times in front of Second Miss Yang about how he had ordered expensive jewelry for many lords, and as a result, he was now letting her misunderstand him!
He stammered, “No, no, this is for you.”
Yang Yuyan froze.
The ring in the box was encrusted with a diamond about the size of an icing sugar. She remembered that she used to see female celebrities displaying their diamonds on the internet, alias “sugar cubes” or “icing sugar”.
So in her mind, this kind of exaggerated diamond is only worn by actresses or celebrities, and she thought it was a piece of jewelry that Su Chunjun had ordered for one of his superiors.
He, gave it to her?
Yang Yuyan fixed her eyes on the ring again, but found that she couldn’t see it anymore.
It was as if her head had been cast under a spell, and she went blank. It was as if she had suddenly become mute, not knowing what to say.
He said, “Do you like it?”
The voice was far away and close.
She heard herself squeeze out a voice and say, “It …… it’s too big. It’s expensive, isn’t it?”
-It seems like there’s some kind of book like One Hundred Sentences on Love or something that says a girl can’t say a gift from a guy is expensive? Did she say the wrong thing?
Su Chunjun realized that he had scared his second young lady, seeing that she was frozen there, at a loss for words, and her tongue looked as if it had fallen out of her mouth, he hurriedly took hold of her hand, and took the ring out first and put it on her finger.
“It’s not expensive, diamonds are guaranteed.” He said, “Look, isn’t it pretty?”
The diamond shone with a gentle light on her finger, not as exaggerated and inappropriate as she had imagined. Maybe because the design of the ring was simple, it didn’t have any other broken diamonds or extra settings, it was just that one diamond set in a circle, because the clarity was enough and the cut was perfect enough to make the diamond even more pure and moving.
The charm of gemstones is that it is beautiful enough to set people off as well.
This diamond was a bit big, but not exaggerated, worn on the hand of a young girl like Yang Yuyan, it only made her look more fashionable and noble.
Su Chunjun held her hand, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was, “This ring can be worn by you in a dress, or in a cheongsam, and it’s also very suitable for men’s shirts, so you don’t have to take it off. Don’t you think so?”
Letting him say this, Yang Yuyan also felt that this ring can indeed cope with multiple occasions.
She said, “But you still can’t wear it during the week, you have to put it in the safe.”
She was just about to take it off when she suddenly reacted, “You gave me the ring as a ……”
It’s not an ordinary gift! It was to signify something! If it wasn’t after dinner, at the dining table, with dirty plates and dirty bowls next to it, she would have reacted long ago.
Su Chunjun also felt that this time and place was indeed not appropriate, but he just couldn’t bear it anymore.
He continued to hold her hand, “Are you willing to marry me?”
Yang Yuyan unconsciously became more ladylike, she hung her head and said in a thin voice, “I …… am willing.”
Su Chunjun held her hand and smiled contentedly, and a big stone fell down.
Yang Yuyan smiled face to face with him for a while, pulled his hand and stood up, “Let’s go, let’s go tell mom.”
The two of them came out hand in hand and walked to the living room, Zhu Yanshu had already finished her massage and was flipping through the pictorials to read it, Yang Yuyan went to wash her hands, while Zhang Ma came out of the kitchen and went to the dining room to collect things.
Yang Yuyan took Su Chunjun’s hand and said, “Mom, he proposed to me.”
While doing so, she held out her hand with the ring on it, showing it off!
Upon hearing this, Yang Yucan and Zhang Ma rush over, and Yang Yuyan puts her hand out to them again, still pulling Su Chunjun with one hand and not letting go.
She couldn’t stop smiling.
Yang Yuchan saw the ring, glanced at Su Chunjun, and said calmly and reasonably, “Congratulations then.”
Zhang Ma smiled a little more happily, “Congratulations!”
But that wasn’t enough.
Yang Yuyan felt that they should have been a little more surprised, a little more shocked.
She lost her voice for a few minutes when she saw the ring.
Yang Yuyan simply sat next to Zhu Yanshu and stuck her hand under her nose, “Mom, look.”
Zhu Yanshu held her hand and gave it a facetious look, quipping, “It’s quite nice, quite big.” Turning her head, she asked Su Chunjun, “It cost a lot of money, right?”
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “I know that jeweler, it didn’t cost much.”
Yang Yuyan stares wide-eyed, then her own ring, then the people in the room.
Zhu Yanshu didn’t even put down the pictorial in her hand.
Zhang Ma still went to collect the plates and took them to the kitchen to wash.
Yang Yu Cicada went back to her bedroom not knowing what to write or count, she had been like this for a while.
She has a diamond ring this big ah!
Why isn’t everyone surprised!
Yang Yuyan drops the bomb, “Mom, Mr. Su proposed to me!”
You guys aren’t surprised?
Su Chunjun hurriedly says, “You can get engaged first, first, Yang Yuyan still has to go to school.”
Zhu Yanshu now finally put down the pictorial and said with a smile, “Good, I think it’s the fifth of next month, the auspicious day of the zodiac, first give you an engagement, and get married after two years.”
Zhang Ma stuck her head out from the kitchen, “Let’s say it’s that day, right, I won’t cook on that day?”
Zhu Yanshu smiled and said, “No need to do it, we’ll go out for a banquet.”
Yang Yuyan was dumbfounded, thinking that the timeline had shifted and she had skipped an entire month.
“Wait, May 5th?” Next month? A proposal just today, and an engagement ceremony next month?
Yang Yuyan was bewildered and at a loss.
Zhu Yanshu held her hand and held the ring up for her to see for herself.
“You’ve collected the ring, you still want to renege?”
No, what does accepting the ring have to do with engagement?
Yang Yuyan opened her mouth and couldn’t say the words it doesn’t matter no matter what.
The main thing was that Mr. Su had been watching her.
He was so happy, if she retorted and said she didn’t want to get engaged, he would definitely be sad.
But, but ……
She looked at the ring and then at her family as if this was already a done deal.
She still felt as if things weren’t quite right!
