409 The Burden of the First Son

Kong Yue immediately sensed that something was wrong with Su Zheng. She paused for a moment and asked with a faint smile, “What’s wrong? Did things go wrong at the company? Or did you encounter something unhappy?”

Su Zheng sighed, but he didn’t complain to Kong Yue. He said in a low voice, “There’s nothing serious in the company. Without Su Xing, I can hold on alone for a while!”

As he spoke, he looked up at Kong Yue and continued to ask, “I heard from the security officer that Qingqing is back today, right? Is she in her room? Has she told you about An Le?”

Kong Yue reached out and took off Su Zheng’s coat for him. Hearing that, she replied softly, “She did say a bit, but she seemed to have something to do and went to her room after saying a few words! I’ll ask her properly when we eat later!”

As Kong Yue spoke, something flashed through her eyes when she lowered her head. She and Su Zheng had been husband and wife for decades, so how could she not understand what Su Zheng was thinking?

Su Zheng wanted to find out about An Le’s situation before asking Su Xing to break off the engagement with the An family. However, she knew her son best. She had seen Su Xing’s condition for the past half a year and really felt that An Le was a good match. If it was really the best fate for the two children, as elders, they shouldn’t interfere too much!

‘The children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.’ This was Kong Yue’s attitude towards her sons.

Ever since Su Zheng found out about An Le’s illness before the new year, he had been trying his best to get Su Xing to cancel this marriage. Su Xing was Su Zheng’s eldest son who needed to inherit his position in the Su family in the future, so Su Xing’s marriage was of utmost importance for the Su family!

Whether it was from the overall situation or from the perspective that Su Zheng thought was really good for Su Xing, he felt that An Le was no longer worthy of Su Xing!

How could the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family be a sickly woman who could die at any moment? Old Master Su, Su Ming, and him had placed high hopes on Su Xing. They would definitely not allow him to have any shortcomings.

As far as Su Zheng knew, a man’s success couldn’t be without his wife’s support. How could he support Su Xing’s career and family with his physical condition?

So, even if it went against his eldest son’s wishes and the integrity of the marriage between the Su family and the An family, Su Zheng didn’t hesitate. He had to stop Su Xing’s engagement with An Le!

Although they would be letting An Le down by doing this, Su Zheng had no choice. How could a successful person be dragged down by these romantic matters? So, he could only let An Le down.

Su Zheng sighed slightly and nodded at Kong Yue, thinking that he had to ask about the situation later so that he could treat the problem appropriately.

When Su Lu and Su Shui returned from outside, it was raining heavily. After getting out of the car in the front yard, they even had to run in, otherwise they would have been drenched.

As soon as he entered the hall, he happened to see his sister coming down the stairs from the second floor. Su Lu smiled and looked up at his beautiful sister. He teased her gently, “Doctor Su, you’re back! How was your trip to Country M? Did you bring any gifts back for your brothers?”

Su Shui also looked at his sister and smiled. He raised his hand and took his brother’s briefcase. Then, he handed it to the servant at the side and said, “Sister went there for important matters. How would she have time to prepare a gift?”

Hearing that her fourth brother, Su Shui, actually said so many words at once, Su Qing widened her eyes slightly and replied, “There’s indeed no gift, because I was really in a hurry this time! But I did a great thing!”

Hearing what his sister said, Su Lu and Kong Yue looked at each other without a trace. The tacit understanding between the mother and son was very natural and comfortable.

Su Lu stepped forward with a faint smile and pinched Su Qing’s face gently. He said gently, “Alright, it’s been hard on you, Sister. Let’s go! Third Brother and Fourth Brother will wash our hands and eat with you!”

Su Qing vaguely felt that her third brother seemed a bit strange. The next second, after seeing the look Su Lu gave her, she quietly followed his arrangements and followed behind him, wanting to leave Su Zheng’s sized up gaze behind them.

Su Zheng had something to ask Su Qing in his mind. Seeing that his third son kept sticking to his sister as soon as he came back, he shook his head helplessly and got up to sit at the head of the dining table.
