Chapter 392: Chapter 391: The Happiest Thing for Fifth Grand-nephews
Mianmian thought of the reincarnation of gods again.
Yang Xian might be the reincarnation of Erlang Shen, so he could use the Heavenly Eye. Situ Zha might be the reincarnation of Nezha, hence his strength far exceeds that of ordinary Little Friends, able to kill evil spirits with a single punch.
By extrapolation, Little Bun quickly thought of the reincarnation of the Matchmaking God.
This red thread might have come from the reincarnation of the Matchmaking God, which is why it looked exactly like a real one.
Hadn’t Situ Zha mentioned it before? Even the Matchmaking God might tie the wrong red threads when he’s drunk; to find out where Hu Yingying got the red thread from, they’d need to start with Hu Yingying herself.
Thinking of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, specifically "using the enemy’s own strategy against them," to find out the source of the red thread, perhaps they should let Hu Yingying slip up.
However, to use the stratagem of "using the enemy’s own strategy against them," it’s not just about needing Liao Ran’s cooperation, but surely also that of her grandnephew.
Her grandnephew is so heartbroken now, and she’s asking for his help—wouldn’t she be a terrible Little Auntie? It seems like being an elder who doesn’t consider the younger generation’s feelings.
So, better think of another method.
"Little Auntie mentioned a red thread? What red thread?" Su Chenyan, with reddened eyes, asked Mianmian.
Mianmian covered her small mouth.
She’d just been chatting with Phoenix Fairy, and let slip about the red thread. Now her grandnephew was asking her about it.
If her grandnephew knew about the red thread, would he be even more heartbroken?
Witnessing his Little Auntie’s reaction, Su Chenyan instantly understood that she was worried and hence didn’t want to tell him. He fell silent for a while, scratching his head, "Tell me, Little Auntie, I want to know the truth."
Mianmian lowered the hand that was covering her mouth and hesitated a bit before saying, "Well, it happened like this, that day we went to the Kindergarten..."
She recounted the first time she saw the red thread on Su Chenyan and explained the difference between the red and black threads of marriage. She also talked about Hu Yingying selling red threads, and the results of the investigations aided by Phoenix Fairy and Rose.
After listening, Su Chenyan became despondent, his head drooping for a long time without uttering a word.
Mianmian was extremely worried.
Her grandnephew was the person with the strongest Yang Qi in the family, but now, due to heartbreak, his Yang Qi was engulfed by weakness, significantly diminished.
Her grandnephew must be feeling incredibly sad, right?
Little Bun stretched out his little hand to pat Su Chenyan’s shoulders and back, both small hands busy at work: "Don’t be sad, grandnephew, don’t be sad, Mianmian will do her best to find the mastermind behind all this."
Su Chenyan felt the comforting pats on his back from his Little Auntie’s hands. After a long time of thought, when he lifted his head again, the fragility in his eyes had vanished, replaced by determination.
"Alright, after finding that person, I’m going to give them a good beating. How dare they sell such a thing, isn’t it just harming others?" As he spoke, Su Chenyan clenched his fists, his veins bulging on the back of his hands. He had thought he had fallen for Liao Ran suddenly, even having thoughts of spending a lifetime with Liao Ran. Yet, this fondness came about through artificial means.
Angry Su Chenyan gave Mianmian quite a scare!
Just moments earlier, her grandnephew had been like a wilted flower, but now he suddenly regained his vigor, his Yang Qi breaking through once more, shining so brightly it almost dazzled her Heavenly Eye.
Mianmian’s eyes sparkled: "Grandnephew, I’m so happy that you think this way. As a good grandnephew, act well in our play, and by using the enemy’s own strategy against them, we’ll be able to catch the mastermind."
"Ah, acting?" Su Chenyan latched on to the key point in Mianmian’s words. A muscular man of one meter eighty-eight flushed with embarrassment, sheepishly looking at Mianmian, "Little Auntie, I, I’m not great at acting. Is there another way that doesn’t require acting?"
He has always been a straightforward person, which is why he went to ask Liao Ran directly after finding out that his drink had been drugged.
Now, with the plan to expose the mastermind requiring an act, Su Chenyan was extremely troubled; he was afraid his poor acting skills would cause Little Auntie’s scheme to fail.
"During my school days, even in class performances, I would only play roles like flowers or trees where I didn’t have to show my face because I’m not good at controlling my expressions," Su Chenyan explained further, afraid to disappoint his dear Little Auntie.
He still liked to see Little Auntie’s happy face and didn’t want to see her upset about anything.
"Then we won’t proceed with the plan. I’ll cut the red thread between you two first, and then we’ll think of another way," said the considerate elder Mianmian, wanting to respect Su Chenyan’s feelings.
If Su Chenyan felt uncomfortable acting, then he wouldn’t have to act, lest it trouble him.
When Mianmian spoke, she also made a point of patting Su Chenyan’s shoulder.
Since Su Chenyan was much taller even while sitting, Mianmian had to stand up and tiptoe to reach his shoulder.
Su Chenyan obliged, deliberately leaning one shoulder towards Mianmian for her to pat, and scratched his head, saying, "The other party will notice if we cut it; wouldn’t that startle the snake? Although I’m not very skilled at it, I’ve still taken these kinds of courses."
After all, with a family fortune as vast as theirs, apart from receiving some necessary training to avoid danger, children of the Su Family would also learn the ancient teachings passed down by Elder Su.
Su Chenyan wasn’t the best student, but he could still apply these teachings to his life and various situations.
If they wanted to find out the source of the red thread, cutting it would surely alert the enemy that they knew the truth. Maybe the enemy would stop their plans and just run away?
"It’s okay, it’s okay; your happiness is the most important," Mianmian said, aware of the consequences of startling the snake, but she still placed more importance on her relative’s feelings.
If the red thread was cut, so be it. After all, Hu Yingying couldn’t escape, and they would definitely be able to find out through continuous investigation. Worst case, she would take time off and not go to kindergarten until everything was resolved.
"Little Auntie, you’re really wonderful," Su Chenyan said, moved by Mianmian’s words, his smile as bright as before, "Since this matter involves me, I shouldn’t always rely on you. I want to settle it on my own. Is that okay?"
"Of course," Mianmian tilted her head, asking curiously, "But how do you plan to do that, my fifth nephew?"
Su Chenyan chuckled, "You’ll know tomorrow."
A straightforward person has his straightforward methods.
Because Su Chenyan didn’t say, Mianmian didn’t ask further; she got up from the ground and dusted the dirt off her buttocks, "Well, let’s leave it at that for now; we should be heading home, your elder cousin and his wife must be missing us."
In fact, Elder Su and Old Lady Su had already been waiting in the hall for some time.
There were surveillance cameras at the entrance to the Su Family property. The Little Auntie and the fifth child were chatting, and they weren’t intentionally eavesdropping, just watching the screen closely.
As they were watching, Elder Su suddenly brought up Su Chenyan, "When will the fifth child break this habit? Whenever something comes up, he just sits outside at the door rather than coming in, and now Little Auntie is sitting on the hard ground with him, it must hurt a lot."
Old Lady Su smiled softly, "I know you care for Little Auntie; I do too. With the fifth child’s personality, isn’t that the result of the incidents from his childhood? Yueyue complained about him too many times, and we always criticized him for not knowing his strength, causing him discomfort and leading him to form the habit of sitting outside the door until he figured things out."
Old Lady Su knew his personality all too well. He was very straightforward and not suited for any kind of subterfuge.
With his strength that he couldn’t control, he often hurt little girls by accident and got told off, then came home to criticism. So he preferred squatting at the door until he was ready to go inside.
But today’s frustration was quickly resolved with the company of Little Auntie.
So it really was a blessing for Little Auntie to join the Su Family.
