Love You Till the End-Chapter 935 - 934: How Long Is "A Long Time"?

"How could it be? Our Man Ning is obedient and sensible. The Song Family quite likes her, and you can tell from the way Zhike looks at Man Ning. Let the two children spend more time together, and their feelings will deepen."

"Let’s hope it develops the way we hope." Su Zhenxiong picked up his chopsticks at the head of the table, "Guess who I saw today?"

"Who?" Zhao Shuya helped him serve some food.

"Shi Aoju."

Zhao Shuya’s eyes lit up: "Can we reach a cooperation?"

Su Zhenxiong showed a cunning smile: "With Song Zhike helping to make connections, there’s an eighty percent chance."

Zhao Shuya was delighted: "I think it’s doable. This way, we’ll have many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"However, the Shi Family isn’t easy to deal with." Su Zhenxiong sighed, "Shi Aoju is young but has already shouldered such heavy responsibilities. There must be a lot of underground dealings behind him, but we can’t find out."

"Also the Qin Family, they are the only ones who can stand toe-to-toe with the Shi Family in business."

Zhao Shuya leaned closer and whispered, "If we were able to get some evidence, wouldn’t we be able to crush those two families? Then we could profit greatly from the cooperation."

"You’re thinking too simply. This concerns the lives of everyone in our family. It’s better to avoid provoking someone like Shi Aoju, who is not afraid to use force."

"But when you’re negotiating, don’t be too submissive," Zhao Shuya demanded aggressively, "we are elders after all."

"He doesn’t care about elders. When he spoke to me today, his tone was very arrogant. Tomorrow, I’ll go golfing with Song Zhike to further cement the cooperation."

But Su Zhenxiong never anticipated that a single comment from his daughter Su Jiuyi would cause him to lose billions in revenue.

Night, deep.

Su Jiuyi carried her bag as she strolled outside with Shi Aoju, the gentle breeze rustling through the plane trees lining the street. The moonlight spread across the ground like a layer of transparent veil.

At KFC, she finished the kid’s meal, and finally Shi Aoju had someone deliver a birthday cake, helping her light the candles and make a wish.

All of it made Su Jiuyi deeply thank this man who always considered her feelings.

She didn’t dare ask him about the seafood incident yesterday, worrying it might lead to awkwardness.

But today’s events made her want to embrace him.

Her world had been dark for too long, and Shi Aoju’s cold yet warm light entered it, leaving her heart restless.

"The weather is really nice today." She looked up at the night sky, filled with stars, their brilliant light speckling the dark canvas, "It’s been so long since I’ve had the chance to relax and watch stars."

"How long is ’so long’?"

"About twenty years." She smiled, a strange sadness in her tone, like walls soaked with moisture year-round. Even if they’re made of indestructible concrete and steel, they’re still stained with tears whenever heavy rain approaches.

Shi Aoju remained silent.

"Do you think my mom is up there watching me?" She looked up, searching, "Isn’t there a saying that people who’ve passed become stars and watch over the ones they love, silently protecting them?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The breeze gently blew through Su Jiuyi’s hair, her subtle fragrance wafting into Shi Aoju’s heart.

"Definitely." He looked at her, his expression gentle and affectionate.

Su Jiuyi softly nodded, and murmured, "Yes..."
