Supported by the Father and Daughter of the Su Family

What seemed like words of comfort were the truest thoughts in Su Xiyan's heart.

With Chen Shuo, she never expected him to possess anything.

It wasn't because she lacked anything, but in her eyes, Chen Shuo had potential. Together, they could work hard and create together.

Only what is obtained through joint efforts can bring the greatest happiness.

Even if it's eating coarse food and drinking plain water, as long as it's with Chen Shuo, it's enough.

The world always says that poor couples face endless sorrows. Perhaps there are hardships, but as long as two people love each other enough, even the hardest days can be sweet.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be sayings like "finding joy in adversity." If you imagine something to be sweet, it will be sweet.

Su Xiyan doesn't know if others think this way, but at least in her mind, she believes so.

Su Xiyan shared her thoughts with Chen Shuo. After hearing these words, Chen Shuo felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

He didn't know what kind of fortune he had accumulated over several lifetimes to meet a woman like Su Xiyan.

She possessed a pride that other young ladies of noble families lacked, and she didn't have the stubborn temper of those ladies.

In the face of right and wrong, she upheld justice, but in matters concerning him, she showed a different kind of partiality.

Even if it meant standing against justice and the world, she would stand by his side without hesitation.

"So, go ahead with confidence. No matter the outcome, I'll be behind you! Go for it!"

Faced with Su Xiyan's encouraging smile, Chen Shuo couldn't help but feel a bit teary-eyed.

For the first time, he felt a bit of moisture in his eyes. He couldn't describe the feeling, but meeting Su Xiyan, he felt, was the greatest fortune of his life.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Shuo exhaled heavily, trying to suppress all emotions.

But all these actions were observed by Su Xiyan. When she saw Chen Shuo's teary eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle: "What? Did someone cry? I know people cry, but do vampires cry too?"

In response to Su Xiyan's teasing, Chen Shuo quickly retorted: "Who said I cried? I didn't cry. It's just that a brick accidentally got into my eye, so..."

Hearing Chen Shuo's weak explanation, Su Xiyan didn't say much, just kept smiling.

She knew how heavy the burden Chen Shuo was carrying.

And she didn't want everything to be shouldered by Chen Shuo alone. Although she could help very little, all she wanted to do was stand quietly by his side, facing whatever outcome together.

"Alright, let's rein in our emotions and get down to business. I've already contacted my father, and Elder Xu is in the residence. You'll go there alone, and I have something to take care of, so don't blame me for not accompanying you!"

Su Xiyan's tone had a hint of coaxing a child, which lightened Chen Shuo's somewhat heavy mood.

Chen Shuo glanced at Su Xiyan helplessly: "Do you really think I'm a three-year-old? I can go alone, you go and take care of your business."

"Alright, let's part for a while, and wait for your good news." After saying that, Su Xiyan got out of the car and headed towards the side hall.

Watching Su Xiyan's retreating figure, Chen Shuo adjusted his emotions briefly.

He had already thought about how to talk to Elder Xu last night. Although the topic was well-rehearsed, he still felt a bit uneasy about the actual meeting.

After getting out of the car, Chen Shuo saw Su Yuanying waiting for him at the main hall's entrance.

"Uncle Su, why are you here in person?" Chen Shuo hurried over, feeling a bit surprised.

"What's the problem? I'm here to welcome my future son-in-law of the Su Family."

Behind Su Yuanying's serious demeanor was a humorous and witty side. His light-hearted words calmed Chen Shuo somewhat.

"No, no, that's not what I meant, it's just that..."

"Alright, alright, big men, no need to explain so much. As someone who's been through it, let me tell you this: don't care about what others think of you, just be yourself. That's the essence of being a person."

Before Chen Shuo could finish, Su Yuanying interrupted.

Chen Shuo could sense the meaning behind Su Yuanying's words. To his surprise, Su Yuanying was also standing by his side.

"Uncle Su, I..."

"Look at you, what did I say? Some things don't need to be said. Since my daughter believes in you, I believe in you too. Even if it costs me my old life, what's right is right."

These words, like a spring stream, flowed through Chen Shuo's heart, warming it immensely.

"I understand, Uncle. I'll do my best."

Chen Shuo's eyes were firm. With the continuous support of the Su Family father and daughter, he was now full of confidence.

Although he had prepared everything and considered some unfavorable outcomes, deep down, he still felt uncertain. But after the support of the Su Family father and daughter, he was now extremely confident.

"Alright, go ahead and have a good talk."

Su Yuanying's strong hand patted Chen Shuo's shoulder heavily. Feeling the strength on his shoulder, Chen Shuo nodded firmly.

Just as Chen Shuo was about to step forward, Su Yuanying's deep voice came from behind: "Relax, even if it doesn't work out, I'll back you up. If this old man doesn't agree, I won't let him leave the Su Family."

"After all, not many people can refuse the Su Family. To refuse my son-in-law is to refuse me, Su Yuanying."

These words stirred a myriad of emotions in Chen Shuo's heart.

Turning back, Chen Shuo bowed deeply to Su Yuanying.

"Alright, alright, go ahead, men shouldn't be so indecisive."

Su Yuanying waved his hand at Chen Shuo, signaling him to go.

This time, Chen Shuo didn't look back. He straightened his chest and walked into the main hall.

Inside the main hall, there were two floors. Su Xiyan had told him before that Elder Xu's room was on the second floor.

So, without further delay, Chen Shuo headed towards the second floor.

But as soon as he took the first step on the stairs, a powerful pressure surged from all around, as if an invisible and enormous force was preventing him from moving forward.

Chen Shuo knew that this force came from Elder Xu on the second floor.

Perhaps Elder Xu already knew the purpose of his visit. However, Chen Shuo had made his choice. No matter how difficult the stairs were, he had no way back.

Because he had parents to save and unconditional support from the Su Family father and daughter.

He had to meet Elder Xu and live up to their expectations. Chen Shuo didn't use his own strength to resist; with his flesh and blood, he resisted the immense pressure and moved forward...
