Chapter 49：Meeting The Sus (3) (1/2)

Su Feng's relatives appeared to be Chinese, as Su Feng and Su Yuying possessed some similar traits to them, but not all.

The dining hall neatly arranged and decorated with fine cutlery and silverware. Many of Su Feng's cousins chatted, stealing glances at the two of them. Su Feng appeared to be uncomfortable, and Song Ren could not quite grasp why.

When he granted her a reassuring gesture, she squeezed his hand back. And she wondered, why did the air feel so thick?

Giving him a side-eyed glance, despite the tension, he was smiling to himself. And she wondered how this jerk change so much since over the years? He beamed just by touching him back. Her cheeks heated.

Song Ren began to chat with Su Yuying who told her about the countryside and nearby city. The Su's liked to live in a vast open space and owned broad acres of lands; thus, explaining why they lived so far. The neighbouring homes also belonged to the Su's, but Su Feng moved to her city and lived in a large house alone.

A young man who appeared to be the same age as Su Feng sat in front of her. He turned to face her and said, ”Hello, I am Su Guiren.”

Su Guiren was tall from the way he sat with copper dyed-hair, but he was not particularly handsome.

Song Ren gave him a curt bow of the head, ”Nice to meet you; I am Song Ren.”

”I know who you are,” he began to say with a smirk of a smile, ”You're the eldest daughter of Song Rui.”

Song Ren straightened her back, slightly exhaling before saying, ”Yes, I am.”

”I heard you knew Feng since you two were in senior high school. Is that true?” He curiously asked while forking one of the potatoes from his plate.

”It's true,” she answered bluntly, but none too harshly.

”You two were rivals then?” Su Guiren asked while chewing his food.

Song Ren maintained a reserved expression, ”Yes,” she said calmly, ”He was also a pain in the ass; a persistent piece of shit.”

Su Guiren barked a laugh, and Song Ren smiled amusingly.

”I like her,” Su Guiren said to Su Feng, as he pointed at her. Su Feng appeared to be crestfallen.

Song Ren leaned forward on the table, with her hands propped underneath her chin. ”But his persistence and determination were what motivated me to work harder,” she began. ”Without his character, I may not have received the challenges that I needed to get to where I am today. Su Feng is an intelligent and resourceful man and our rivalry always matched back then, even now.”

Su Feng gazed at her, unbelievably. He wondered, why did she agree to be with him? She had the opportunity to refuse, and despite hating him, loathing him, she decided to marry him. Su Feng curled his fists, knowing that he would have to work hard from now on to be with Song Ren.

Su Guiren's opened his mouth in light shock, but he quickly smiled. ”Feng, I had no idea your fianceé was so intriguing.”

Su Feng's narrowed his eyes as he looked toward Su Guiren. It's no mistake that many men will be conscious of Song Ren. She was everything any man would hope for, beauty, intelligence, and wittiness. If it were ancient times, men would challenge him for her.

Su Feng reached out and swung his arm over Song Ren greedily, and surprisingly, she did not protest. It amused Su Guiren.

”Song Ren, what did Feng offer you to agree to be his wife? I'm sure a smart girl like you would not marry him because you fancied him,” he stated sure of himself.
