Chapter 375: Chapter 374: Lu You’s Circle of Friends

Liao Ran stood there, not knowing what to do.

Su Chenyan scratched his head when he saw Liao Ran not moving. He thought for a moment and reached out as if to carry her away, but then he felt this might not be appropriate. He said with hesitation, "You’re really in the way. Why don’t you move over there? We can talk about the drink thing later."

Having heard this, Liao Ran had no choice but to sit to the side.

She sat until six o’clock, when Gu Youyou suggested going home first and came over to say goodbye. Then Mianmian and the others also said they needed to head home.

The Su family stood together, collectively greeted Liao Ran, and then Lu Xuan took the initiative to say, "The elders at home are urging us to return, we have to go now. Teacher Liao, we’ll be leaving first."

In just a few words, Liao Ran lost her chance to follow them.

The Su family left with laughter and chatter, and Su Chenyan didn’t say another word to her.

Liao Ran looked down, disheartened.

While she was entangled with her thoughts, she heard Su Chenyan’s voice again, "Teacher Liao, let me recommend a few sports drinks to you. If you need to replenish electrolytes after exercise, drink xxx..."

Su Chenyan went on and on about the benefits and effects of various drinks, then waved at Liao Ran and turned to catch up with Mianmian and the others.

Suddenly, Liao Ran felt a surge of confidence! Could it be that Su Chenyan was still a bit different towards her?

After all, Su Chenyan had kept his promise!

With such progress on the first day, tomorrow should bring them even closer, right?

Liao Ran smiled happily, and just then, her mobile phone rang with an incoming call.

It was a call from a girlfriend, asking if she had dreamt about her Mr. Right yet, and who it was.

The caller, a married friend, made Liao Ran feel there was no need to hide anything. So, she sweetly said, "It’s Su Chenyan from the Su family, the fifth young master. We even played at the skateboarding club today."

On the other end, her friend exclaimed excitedly, "Really someone from the Su family? Let me see, I looked it up, and the fifth young master of the Su family is Su Chenyan, huh! A sportsman hunk indeed! Look at those muscles and all his sports trophies, Liao Ran, your good days are ahead."

Liao Ran shyly responded, "Not really."

After her friend finished praising, she suddenly said, "But I heard that this Su Chenyan declared in his early years that he doesn’t want to get married. That’s a bit tricky. What if he’s really just into dating and not marriage? You want to be a full-time housewife, don’t you, Liao Ran?"

Liao Ran panicked upon hearing this.

She also searched on her mobile phone and indeed found the news of Su Chenyan telling reporters in America, after winning an extreme sports award, that he didn’t want to get married.

If Su Chenyan wasn’t going to marry, what use was this marriage fate for her?

"No worries, that’s exactly why I called you," her friend said cheerfully. "I asked the customer service selling the red string about it, and they have a prop you can use in conjunction with it. It can give you a wonderful night with your destined one, and it’s a surefire tool to win over a man."

Hearing this, Liao Ran was startled.

What did she mean by a wonderful night, a surefire way to win over a man? Was there really such a prop?

"What, what are you talking about?" her voice was tinged with nervousness, yet her hand honestly flipped through the photos she had taken of Su Chenyan skateboarding. Her eyes landed on the muscles around his waist and she couldn’t look away.

Her friend’s voice was full of teasing, "I’m talking about what adults talk about, everything for the sake of your wish, right? You so want to find a good man to marry and now the fate is decreed by the Matchmaking God, and the red string is already there. Moving things forward shouldn’t be a problem."

"Anyway, I’ve bought the prop for you, I’m sending it through local fast delivery, and it should reach your home soon. We’ve been friends for so many years, I just want you to be happy. Whether to use it or not is up to you, I’m hanging up."

The phone clicked as the call ended.

Liao Ran looked at the photo of Su Chenyan on her phone and suddenly felt a tingle in her heart.

She was just advancing what was meant to happen, that shouldn’t be a problem, right? Tomorrow she could ask Little Auntie whether she was fated to have a son.

While Liao Ran was thinking about Su Chenyan, the Su family was also discussing her.

Mianmian talked about Liao Ran’s light Qi and mentioned the previous two incidents were due to her being tainted by filthy things. Then, she said that today she saw red strings on both Liao Ran and her fifth cousin.

"The red string on my eldest cousin before was black, and that was fake," Mianmian emphasized again. "This time, Teacher Liao and my fifth cousin both have red strings. I looked closely, there’s no mistake. It’s just like the ones on dad, mom, big cousin, big cousin’s wife, second cousin, and second cousin’s wife."

"If they’re the same, then it means there’s really a marriage fate. The situation now seems to be that Teacher Liao enjoys playing with my fifth cousin, but my fifth cousin still doesn’t enjoy playing with Teacher Liao, right?"

Mianmian concluded from her observations of the day.

Su Chenyi and Lu Xuan exchanged a surprised look.

Little Auntie said the red string was real, so Liao Ran really had to marry their fifth brother?

It couldn’t be, could it?

This news had to be shared with the family right away.

Once home, Su Chenyi informed everyone in the group chat about it. He also mentioned that Lu You wanted Little Auntie to help exorcise evil spirits in his home.

Mianmian found out about this from Lu Xuan before it was posted in the group chat.

She tilted her head, thinking, and then said, "If there’s a real possession, it must be because that day his son brought back the paper figure home, which can summon ghosts. His son insisted on taking it, and we couldn’t do anything about it."

After advising against it, they still insisted on taking it home; then it was their family’s own bad luck.

She certainly didn’t want to help that bad person exorcise evil! And the Lu family, who are adept at witchcraft, could surely take care of such small matters like exorcism themselves; there was no need to involve her.

The family sat down for dinner, and Su Chenjin, who had been busy with company work all day, came home.

After the meal, while digesting in the garden, Su Chenjin said, "Little Auntie, let’s think about going to the Lu family’s request."

Mianmian was puzzled, "Why’s that?"

Su Chenjin took out his mobile phone and scrolled through the social media feed.

Lu You had posted a photo of his wife on the feed, showing her with heavy dark circles, looking as if she hadn’t slept well for days. Accompanying the photo was a caption: "Darling, won’t worry, I’ve asked ’Little Auntie’ from the Su family to come and take a look for you. Whether it’s possession or illness, I believe ’Little Auntie’ will surely help you."

The comments under this post had stacked up like a skyscraper, completely filling the screen of Su Chenjin’s work phone.

Business associates that shared dealings with both the Lu and Su families expressed their surprise in the comment section, and envy for the close relationship that allowed for Little Auntie’s help.

"If Lu You hadn’t posted that, it wouldn’t have mattered if you went or not. But now that he has, it’s public knowledge. Refusing the request will also make the news," Su Chenjin objectively stated, showing the online articles.

This post wasn’t just popular in Lu You’s circle; it was also trending across all major North City news websites. Lu You’s intent with the post was clear: he wanted to pressure Mianmian into visiting his home.

The trick was simple, but effective.

Of course, Su Chenjin had a solution.

But he wanted to see how ’Little Auntie’ would handle it. If he made all the decisions, ’Little Auntie’ would not learn how to think for herself.
