Chapter 710: Chapter 711: Lin Su’er’s Thoughts

The next morning, Su Qingmiao’s father, Su Tongda, came to Song Xiaodong’s place.

Su Tongda first glared at Su Qingmiao before saying to Song Xiaodong, "Family Head, this boy is really too much of a scoundrel. I’ve brought him here to apologize to you. As the Family Head, you may punish him as you see fit, and I will have no complaints."

Song Xiaodong looked at Su Qingmiao and then smiled slightly, "You haven’t revealed my identity, have you?"

Su Qingmiao quickly responded, "No, no, Family Head. You had instructed me, and I’ve always kept it in mind, daring not to speak carelessly."

Song Xiaodong nodded, "That’s fine. Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s normal for young people to be a bit brash, as long as they are not abusing their power to bully ordinary people. That’s acceptable."

Su Qingmiao was stunned for a moment, "Family Head... you’re not going to punish me?"

"If you can remember to rely on your own charm to woo girls, that’s quite good. ’For a lovely lady, a gentleman’s suitor,’ this is also human nature. I’ve seen many who abuse their backgrounds just to bully girls. What you did is quite commendable, and it doesn’t tarnish our Su Family’s reputation. Well done," Song Xiaodong commended.

Upon hearing Song Xiaodong’s praise, Su Qingmiao felt somewhat elated and stammered, "Thank you for your compliments, Family Head."

Su Tongda breathed a sigh of relief in secret. He always had the impression that Song Xiaodong, always at odds with the Su Family, was fierce and tyrannical; he hadn’t expected him to be so agreeable.

"Thank you, Family Head, for not blaming him. I will certainly discipline him properly in the future and won’t allow him to run amok."

Song Xiaodong said, "Hmm, that’s your family matter, so I won’t get involved."

As Su Qingmiao followed his father out, just as they reached the doorway, he suddenly turned around, "Family Head, thank you for not blaming me. I know I don’t have much skill, but if you ever need me in the future, I will definitely serve you with unwavering loyalty."

"Ha... there will be an opportunity."

With his son, Su Tongda left. Still echoing in his ears were Song Xiaodong’s last laugh and his words. After they got into the car, he turned to Su Qingmiao and said, "Son, this might be your chance."

"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Su Qingmiao asked.

Su Tongda said, "Although Song Xiaodong is now the Family Head of our Su Family, apart from your Aunt Su Yuya who supports him, the rest of them still have their own agendas, so his foundation is not that solid. He also needs some members of the Su Family to support him. Generally, people who are overly shrewd, he doesn’t trust, but you might just meet his requirements. Very likely, he will make use of you in the future."

"Really?" Su Qingmiao instantly became excited, his eyes widening.

"I feel it might be right. During this time, whenever you can, come to the mansion here. You don’t need to aim for anything big, just make sure you show up regularly in front of him. I will also find opportunities to bring you along. As long as you appear before him frequently enough; that will acquaint you well. When he needs people, he will surely think of you."

Su Tongda, being the fourth elder of the Su Family with three elder brothers above him, thus had limited opportunities to show himself. His son was also not very promising, so his own status wasn’t very high. However, he naturally wouldn’t let go of a finally arrived opportunity.

Su Qingmiao hurriedly responded, "Sure, sure, I will definitely work hard. I still admire the Family Head. If he really uses me, I will definitely serve him loyally."

Under Song Xiaodong’s leadership, the Su Family’s affairs were all handled in their large mansion. The villa where he stayed was his office. These days, the most frequent visitor here was Su Yuya, and Shui Qingyue, who was also able to lend a helping hand in financial matters, was very busy every day.

Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, both of whom were very playful, had no real ambitions in their careers. The Su Family’s mansion was extremely large, with many places suitable for entertainment. With Song Xiaodong also at home, they could always involve him, so they were never lonely.

Lin Su’er had only been here for a few days and could play with Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying. However, as time went by, she started to feel somewhat idle. Although she wasn’t a career-driven woman, she was not the type who only thought about playing. She wanted to find something to do. In this mansion, where maids did all the cleaning every day, she found she really didn’t have much to do, making her the only one who seemed a bit bored.

After dinner that day, everyone went for a walk together. Miao Xuanxuan, Xiao Yingying, and Shui Qingyue went to feed the fish by the small bridge, while Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er stood on the bridge.

Song Xiaodong asked with concern, "Su’er, these past few days you seem a bit down. Are you not adjusting well here?"

Lin Su’er hurriedly responded, "Not at all..." But facing Song Xiaodong’s gaze, she lowered her hand and said softly, "I just feel I’m doing nothing, and it makes me uncomfortable inside; I feel like I’m just a freeloader."

Song Xiaodong paused for a moment, "I really overlooked this. You are not like Xuanxuan and Yingying; they are satisfied just playing, but you are someone who can’t sit still."

Lin Su’er bit her lip, "Yeah, even if I just cleaned a room or cooked a meal, I would feel more presence; now, I... I really feel useless."

Song Xiaodong thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I know there’s a large hospital among the Su Family’s properties. Why don’t you find something to do there?"

"Really?" Lin Su’er exclaimed excitedly, "I have two classmates there."

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, "Did you figure this out a while ago and just didn’t dare tell me?"

Lin Su’er, having spent a long time with Song Xiaodong, wasn’t afraid of him. She stuck out her tongue and said, "I didn’t want to bother you because I saw you were busy."

"Right, that settles it. I’ll arrange for you to work in that hospital. That way, you’ll have your social circle, and since you have classmates here, you can also meet up with them for meals instead of staying at home all the time."

Lin Su’er nodded eagerly, "Great, great, they should be off tomorrow, I’ll call them out to have a meal together."

Song Xiaodong wrapped an arm around Lin Su’er’s slender waist, "From now on, don’t be so silly. Whatever you want to do, just tell me directly, otherwise, if I neglect you and you’re unhappy, it will create a rift between us. Then if you run off with someone else, where would I go to cry?"

Lin Su’er laughed out loud, "Who dares to compete with you, the Family Head, for a woman? That would be asking for trouble." Her charm was truly indescribable.
