Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Husband and Wife One Night (1)

Not just anyone knew about Su Yixia having an aunt.

Just as Gu Nuan’s family had a relative like Aunt Qiu, Su Yixia’s aunt was a wealthy lady whose riches far exceeded the small-scale economic status of Su Yixia’s familial bosses.

Consequently, Su Yixia’s aunt, who had taken her husband’s last name and was currently known as Ou Chunhua, never associated with Su Yixia’s family.

Moreover, although Ou Chunhua’s maiden name was Su, she was only a distant cousin of Su Yixia’s father, not a direct sibling with the same parents.

The Su family originated from Anhui, with a large family and an extensive system, from which several famed businessmen had emerged. However, when it came to current wealth, Ou Chunhua, who had married a wealthy Chinese man in her early years, was undeniably the richest and most influential.

Originally, Su Yixia was introduced to the idea of meeting the Xiao family’s young master because Lin Yishan mentioned a prerequisite.

With the wealth and power of the Xiao family, to be frank, they wouldn’t even consider the modest economic background of Su Yixia’s family impressive. It was a clear case of "unequal social status."

Su Yixia was immediately struck by an idea and put forth Ou Chunhua’s influential name.

Ou Chunhua might not have kept in touch with her former Su relatives, but that didn’t stop them from boasting about their connection to her.

Later on, after Lin Yishan did some investigating and confirmed that what Su Yixia had said was true, that Ou Chunhua’s surname was Su before marriage,

it was undeniable that if Su Yixia was indeed related to Ou Chunhua, then based on Ou Chunhua’s background, she would certainly be worthy of the Xiao family.

Because Ou Chunhua, with her husband’s estate, was now a well-known businesswoman featured on the Forbes list of wealthiest women.

Similarly, Xiao Shulan was moved by the thought of becoming relatives with the Ou family when Xiao Shuju mentioned this possibility. Now that the matter had resurfaced, Xiao Shulan undoubtedly wanted to reconfirm its accuracy.

"Mrs. Ou, doesn’t she only have one son?"

"She does have just one only son, but this young master, much like that oddball in our family, doesn’t like to make public appearances. He’s a bit younger than Yebai and should be around twenty-five years old now," Xiao Shuju explained impatiently to Xiao Shulan; it was clear she was eager to see this match succeed—for then she’d be considered a matchmaker of great merit—"The Miss Su we’re discussing is Mrs. Ou’s niece."

"To outsiders, Mrs. Ou only mentions having a son; she never talks about other relatives," Xiao Shulan still harbored some doubts.

"What of it? She has so many relatives, should she mention them all one by one?"

"What I mean to say is, if this Miss Su is just an expendable relative to Mrs. Ou, is it really of any significance?"

After hearing her words, Xiao Shuju laughed, "This bond of blood, it only becomes valuable when there’s money involved. Doesn’t Second Sister know this already? If Mrs. Ou finds out she’s going to marry into the Xiao family, she will surely see her differently. By then, the two families will naturally become closely connected. Besides, Mr. Ou is younger than Yebai, and when he looks to find a wife in the future, perhaps he might consider Second Sister’s daughter, no?"

This hit the nail on the head. If it hadn’t been for the prospect of becoming in-laws with Mrs. Ou’s treasured only son, Xiao Shulan wouldn’t have had the thought to seek out Su Yixia straightaway.

Her beloved daughter was seventeen today, just about to graduate high school and reach adulthood, and was close in age to the Ou family’s young master—she might indeed be a suitable match.

The matter was thus agreed upon for the time being.

Xiao Shuju, seizing the moment, began to discuss the arrangement with Lin Yishan.

Before long, Su Yixia received a phone call from Lin Yishan at home.
