Chapter 422: The cannon fodder whose fate was changed by the heroine, she concentrates on her career
Su Hongyan happily decided to marry Feng Xiaohai, but reality dealt her a heavy blow - he might not be willing to marry her.
Just before the Feng and Liu families came to propose marriage, Su Lan secretly found Feng Xiaohai. Knowing all too well how Feng Xiaohai had suffered a tragic fate in his past life, where Su Hongyan bankrupted him and ultimately led him to jump off a building in despair, she unhesitatingly recalled this painful memory to him and earnestly advised him to stay away from the heroine, Su Hongyan.
As one of the many candidates for the male lead, Feng Xiaohai naturally possessed an exceptionally intelligent mind and keen insight. After hearing Su Lan's words, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and made a decisive decision: he told the matchmaker that he only wanted to focus on his career and had no plans to get married for at least the next two years.
This sudden change was like a bucket of cold water, ruthlessly pouring down on the ambitious Su Hongyan, instantly dashing all her plans. Furious and unwilling, she almost rushed to Feng Xiaohai's textile factory to confront him about why he refused to marry her. Fortunately, Luo Juanzi appeared in time to stop her impulsiveness.
Luo Juanzi tightly grasped Su Hongyan's arm and said earnestly, "Yanzi, Feng Xiaohai is incredibly well-off! For an ordinary family like ours, even if we wanted to, we couldn't possibly marry him. If you just run over and argue with him without caring about anything, wouldn't that be lowering your status and making people look down on you? In my opinion, we should ask Liu Po to help us find some other wealthy young men in town who might be more reliable."
"But Mom, Feng Xiaohai's family..." Su Hongyan wanted to explain something to her mother anxiously, but was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"Yan Zi, listen to your mother and stop thinking about Feng Xiaohai! At worst, Dad will give your sister's fiancé to you!" The father waved his hand and said in a firm tone.
Hearing this, Su Hongyan widened her eyes and shouted in disbelief: "Liu Deyuan? I don't want to marry that poor guy!" As she said that, she curled her lips in disdain and thought to herself that since this path with Feng Xiaohai is not feasible, she might as well change her target as soon as possible.
So, Su Hongyan began to rack her brains to recall the right man around her. Suddenly, a name jumped into her mind - Zhuang Airen! This guy had previously taken away a lot of Feng Xiaohai's business.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Su Hongyan dressed carefully and rushed out to look for Zhuang Airen. After some searching, she finally found him selling clothes on a busy street. He was busy running around, warmly greeting passersby.
Su Hongyan took a deep breath, walked quickly to the stall, and pretended to be gentle and cute and asked, "Brother Zhuang, your clothes are all very nice! By the way, I'm sorry to ask, do you have a partner?"
Zhuang Airen was busy sorting the goods, and was suddenly at a loss when asked this question. His face flushed slightly, he scratched his head sheepishly, and stammered, "Uh... no, my mother has been looking for a wife for me, but she hasn't found the right one yet."
"So what do you think of me?" Su Hongyan wore a yellow dress today, which made her look more charming.
Zhuang Airen, who had always been honest, had never seen such an open girl before. In a panic, he quickly made an excuse, saying that he had to go to the back to sort out the goods, and hurriedly walked towards the back. That look was like a frightened rabbit, which made people feel pity.
But his innocence and shyness, in Su Hongyan's eyes, became an extremely charming charm. She thought to herself: "Huh, such a simple and lovely man, I must win him over!"
So, for the next whole week, Su Hongyan took great pains and racked her brains to create various opportunities for a seemingly accidental encounter with Zhuang Airen.
As their encounters grew, their conversations became more frequent. Initially, they simply nodded and exchanged pleasantries, but later, they were able to speak freely and discuss anything. They even began to confide in each other about trivial matters and situations at home.
Just when their relationship was slowly heating up, who could have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway - Su Lan. She decided to take action herself and destroy this marriage.
She carefully prepared a mask and cleverly disguised herself as a middle-aged woman with a haggard and slightly weathered face.
Then, she quietly went to Zhuang's mother, and as soon as she saw her, she began to talk to her incessantly about all the bad things about the stepdaughter of the old Su family.
"Oh my, big sister, please listen to my advice! The stepdaughter of the Su family has serious character issues! The blind date her family introduced was almost engaged, but at the last minute, the man suddenly changed his mind and refused to get married no matter what!"
"Think about it, how could something like this happen if there wasn't something fishy going on? So, your son has to be careful and not be fooled by that woman's appearance!"
"Oh my! This is actually true? It's unbelievable!" someone shouted in surprise.
Another person chimed in, "That's right! I need to warn my son right away! If he marries a woman like this, it'll cause chaos and unrest in the family!"
Indeed! You know, according to the plot of the previous life, no matter how great Zhuang Airen's ability to make money or how fast he made it, it couldn't compare to the speed at which Su Hongyan spent it. Once the initial dividends were exhausted, Su Hongyan would definitely leave without hesitation and choose to reset time again.
It was Su Lan's kind reminder that made Zhuang's mother determined to firmly oppose her son from having any further contact with Su Hongyan. In order to completely sever the connection between the two, Zhuang's mother even resolutely moved Zhuang Airen away from their original place and moved to the town to live, and actively introduced him to other more suitable girls.
However, after Su Hongyan was ruthlessly rejected by the man, her first thought was to reset time immediately. Unfortunately, she was completely unaware that the mysterious stone that allowed her to reset time had already been secretly tampered with by Su Lan. Now, the stone only allowed her to reset time once at most. The current round of mission restarts became the key moment for Su Lan to carefully plan and prepare for a full-scale attack.
By the time the third time reset arrived, Su Hongyan finally began to harbor deep suspicions about Su Lan. After all, the Su Lan she now saw was no longer the taciturn figure she remembered. She had consistently and unwaveringly rejected every arrangement her father had made, especially regarding marriage, displaying an unprecedentedly resolute attitude.
So she thought of marrying Su Lan off, leaving her with a difficult life.
