Chapter Twenty Handling Opinions

  Rubbing her eyes, Cheng Shui saw Su Yifan get into the Porsche, and then the car slowly backed up to her side, with Su Xiaoqing removing his sunglasses and smiling at her from the driver's seat.

  "Where is Shuixin going? I'll give you a ride since it's on my way."

  Cheng Shui Xin was stunned, she remembered that just a few days ago when she saw Su Xiao Qing, she was still driving a black BMW, now it had changed to a Porsche, wasn't this a bit too dreamy?

  The Porsche 911 can theoretically seat four people, but the space is pitiful. Cheng Shuiying hesitated for a moment and forced a smile at Su Xiaqing: "Thank you, sister, no need, I'm going to a place that's very close."

  Su Yifan had already sensed that Su Xiaqing's aura was very intimidating today, so he silently opened the car door and got out, letting Su Xiaqing remotely adjust her seat to make space. This way, Cheng Shuiheng didn't have an excuse to refuse anymore, so she reluctantly got into the backseat.

  The Porsche 911 attracted a lot of attention, with envy and jealousy. Su Xiaqing put on her sunglasses nonchalantly and sped off to send Cheng Shuiying to the door of a very nostalgic cafe.

  Cheng Shui Xin bid farewell to Su Xiao Qing politely and waved goodbye to Su Yi Fan: "Don't forget tomorrow's club activities."

  After leaving the cafe, Su Xiao slowed down the car and asked, "What did the person who made a move look like? Can you remember?"

  This was the first time Su Yifan had heard Su Xiaqing speak in such a cold voice, and he even felt a little scared. Su Yifan wasn't surprised at all that Su Xiaqing knew about this so quickly, she seemed to understand this school better than himself.

  "I can only remember one." Su Yifan replied truthfully, "But if I see them, I can recognize all of them."

  Su Xiaoqing found a place to park, and only then did she take off her sunglasses to touch the wound on Su Yifan's face, with a look of heartache in her eyes. Su Yifan felt that his sister seemed to be carefree about everything, but at this moment he saw that Su Xiaoqing's eyes were about to well up with tears.

  Su Yifan was suddenly panicked, in his heart Su Xiaqing was almost all-powerful. Seeing Su Xiaqing about to cry, Su Yifan was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead.

  Perhaps it was because of Porsche's air conditioning that Su Yifan felt Su Xiaqing's hand on his face was very gentle and warm.

  "Why didn't you tell me?" Su Xiaoqing's tone was reproachful, but not severely so, rather it was tinged with more sorrow.

  Su Yifan felt a bit embarrassed as his sister touched the wound on his face, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know, from yesterday onwards I've been thinking, thinking for a long time... I need to be strong myself, can't always rely on you."

  Su Xiaojing listened quietly, Su Yifan's speech was very slow, but she listened very carefully.

  "Sister, you're right. I've always been unable to overcome my psychological barriers, that's why I feel useless and lack confidence." Su Yifan had never been so honest with anyone before, but facing Su Xiaqing, he felt it was very natural to express his inner thoughts. "I've always thought that what I lacked was courage. Because of fear, I didn't dare to face it, which led to the situation today."

  Su Xiaqing blinked her eyes, and the tears in her eye sockets were dispersed without falling.

  Su Yifan was even calmer than usual at this time, probably that legendary state of "being able to face the real self"? Anyway, Su Yifan felt that calmly analyzing his own problems wasn't embarrassing at all, especially in front of Su Xiaqing.

  "I had expected that someone would come to bother me." Su Yifan said seriously, "Qing Jie, I can't always be protected by you. Today's matter is actually nothing to me, I feel like I'm not afraid anymore, this is better than anything."

  As Su Yifan analyzed his own heart, a smile slowly appeared on Su Xiaqing's face. She quickly hugged Su Yifan and said softly: "Actually, it doesn't matter, even if you never change for your whole life, it's okay. I've already said it, I'm your goddess, whatever wish you want, I'll make it come true."

  "But I don't want to be like that." Su Yifan looked at her sister, who had almost changed the trajectory of her life from the moment she appeared, and said, "I remember what I said myself. One day, I will make you proud of me."

  Su Xiaoqing finally smiled openly this time, her expression much more relaxed than before. However, when she saw the wound on Su Yifan's face, that fierce aura returned to her face once again.

  "This matter cannot be left as it is."

  Su Yifan knew that Su Xiaqing was not an ordinary person, her several cars were enough for many young people to struggle for a lifetime, but he felt that this matter should not be let Su Xiaqing show up.

  "Qing Jie, this is between me and Chen Xin." Su Yifan thought for a moment before saying, "I think I can still handle it myself."

  "How many days has Ou La taught you?" Su Xiaoqing reproached with a bit of heartache, "Can you compare to those who have been doing physical labor for years? I'll find two professionals for you and make them regret what they did to you."

  Su Yifan's emotions had completely adjusted, and he smiled at Su Xiaqing: "Really no need. I think these few people are not as terrible as you thought, look at me fighting them, didn't suffer too much, that short guy was even beaten badly by me...... If Chen Xin can only find this kind of person to deal with me, then this matter really isn't anything."

  "But I don't want you to get hurt again." Su Xiao shook her head, "This is the bottom line."

  Su Yifan wiped his mouth with his hand, where there was a small wound: "Isn't it said in the comic that scars are the medals of men?"

  Su Xiaoqing laughed: "What's a medal? Is it that every boy has a heroic dream in his heart?"

  "Maybe," Su Yifan said in a low voice, looking at the road ahead. "Anyway, I think Chen Xin is not that scary. The things he relies on are not his own, and I don't want to become someone like him."

  "What you said makes sense." Su Xiaoqing reached out to touch the wound on Su Yifan's face again, "But thinking that you might be in danger still makes me feel uneasy."

  "That's it then." Su Yifan thought for a moment and felt that he should consider Su Xiaqing's feelings more, so he compromised and said, "Xiaqing, if you can think of a way to let me and Chen Xin resolve our issues on our own abilities, that would be great."

  "It's too simple." Su Xiao said lightly, "You got into a fight at the school gate today, isn't there some trouble on that side of the school?"

  As soon as he mentioned Su Yifan, his face was no longer as determined as before, and he quickly slumped down and said: "Yes... our class teacher asked me to go back and find my parents."

  Su Xiaoqing smiled: "Let me help you solve this matter, I guarantee that you won't need to find your parents."

  Although Su Xiaqing was already quite impressive in Su Yifan's eyes, this revelation still surprised him. Although he had guessed many times about Su Xiaqing's identity, Su Yifan still dared not imagine what kind of background and connections a person who could easily make Chen Xin, that kind of rich boy, yield would have.

  Su Xiaqing drove with Su Yifan to a physiotherapy center and only felt at ease after re-examining his injuries. Along the way, they talked about Yang Bingbing's surprising performance today, and Su Xiaqing meaningfully teased Su Yifan: "Look at you, now you can attract even Yang Bingbing, a beauty who has no interest in boys."

  Su Yifan didn't think so: "No, I always feel that Yang Bingbing is a bit different from what we usually see, as if there's a layer of disguise."

  "You're quite perceptive." Su Xiaoqing didn't know if she was praising Su Yifan or teasing him, "It seems Yang Bingbing has a good impression of you, and as you get to know her better, you'll understand her more."

  Su Yifan felt like covering his face, Su Xiaqing was again leading the conversation in a terrible direction, this kind of talk made him feel that the courage he had just gained was immediately insufficient.

  It was probably Su Yifan's painful expression and the wound on his face that had a great effect, so Su Xiaqing didn't continue to speak, but instead changed the subject and asked: "What club activities do you have tomorrow?"

  "International Literacy Day." Su Yifan explained, "Cheng Shuiyan arranged for us to visit the exhibition of paintings by Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp."

  "Brazenly skipping class, everyone must be very happy." Su Xiao slightly furrowed her brow, "With Cheng Shui's abilities, it's impossible to get that many complimentary tickets. If they paid out of their own pockets, the expenses would be too great...... Did Chen Xin help get the tickets?"

  "Yes." Su Yifan nodded, "So today Cheng Shuiyan followed me after school, just to confirm if there's any conflict between Chen Xin and me."

  "What a terrible thought." Su Xiao Qing sighed, "If you admit that the fight was because of conflicts with Chen Xin, what would she do?"

  "Probably will refuse Chen Xin's sponsorship." Su Yifan analyzed based on his understanding of Cheng Shuiyan, "Once a certain clue is revealed, Cheng Shuiyan will definitely refuse Chen Xin's."

  "Hmm, this is indeed in line with her character." Su Xiaoqing hummed, "But I suppose this counts as progress? Cheng Shuiyan at least knows to care about you now."

  Su Yifan was already able to discuss these things with Su Xiaoxiao in a very calm manner, and he smiled wryly: "It's just that it has been upgraded to the point where we need to pay attention to it, there's nothing to be happy about."

  "Take your time, what are you afraid of?" Su Xiaoqing encouraged her brother, "Cheng Shuihua is still on the long road of cultivation, it's actually very easy to defeat her."

  Su Yifan shook his head gloomily: "Let's not talk about this for now... I won't go back and tell my family about what happened today, is that really okay?"

  Su Xiaqing put on her sunglasses: "Don't worry, if Wang Qin dares to shout at you tomorrow, I'll give you this Porsche."

  "I can't afford it." Su Yifan was also relaxed by Su Xiaqing's calm demeanor.

  For Chen Xin, everything today was still satisfactory. Of course, if Yang Bingbing hadn't intervened at the end, it might have been even more perfect.

  However, Chen Xin still had some minor complaints about Chuan Ge's arrangement. If they hadn't chosen to make a move at the school gate, those young people wouldn't have just persisted for a few minutes and then run away. After all, this was just a small matter that didn't warrant contacting the police station yet.

  Chen Xin called Xiang Ge to thank him, but subtly expressed his dissatisfaction. He felt that Su Yifan's gaze at him today was very annoying, and this lesson was not over yet.

  There are too few examples of being convinced at once, and every time they have to wrestle with each other. Struggling for connections, struggling for background, struggling for family, struggling for money... Anyway, all kinds of struggles, the most inferior thing is that only a fool would do it with bare hands. Thinking of Su Yifan's injuries today, Chen Xin felt a little more comfortable. No matter how strong Su Yifan's eyes were, he was still hurt after all.

  Physical harm is far more direct and effective than spiritual insult.

  Kan Ge on the other end of the phone was snickering, not knowing what he was doing. After listening to Chen Xin's tactful expression that they shouldn't fight at the school gate, he chuckled: "Chen Shao, you just don't get it. Do you think my brothers beating him up today would make him suffer more, or being beaten up by us in front of all your classmates at the school gate?"

  Chen Xin had also thought about this problem, and he even hoped that Su Yifan's beating was in front of Cheng Shuiyan, which would be even better. Unfortunately, Chen Xin did not dare to try, fearing that Cheng Shuiyan would rush over to help Su Yifan out of the siege, or that her maternal instincts would flare up and she would want to protect Su Yifan, and he would end up losing everything.

  It is well known that women have a natural tendency to worship the strong and care for the weak, and Cheng Shui'an may not be an exception.

  Chen Xin wanted to say something, but Chuan Ge had already spoken up on the other end of the phone: "Chen Shao, to be honest with you, this kid is even more ruthless than I imagined. My younger brother was also injured, and it's probably not much lighter than that kid..."

  Chen Xin couldn't help but understand the underlying tone, so he quickly interrupted Brother Chuan and said: "Brother Chuan, we don't need to say anything else. The medical expenses, lost wages, and nutrition fees for your brother's illness will all be covered by me. You just let your brother give me a number, I'll take care of it without saying another word."

  Hehe, Brother Chiang chuckled twice and said hypocritically: "Alas, can't calculate like this when doing things for Young Master Chen? But these old brothers of mine also need to save some face, just show some courtesy... What does Young Master Chen mean next, continue to fool him?"

  "Uh, next time don't do it at the school gate." Chen Xin recalled the scene of those young men beating up Su Yifan and still felt that they didn't get enough punishment. "We need to let that kid know who's boss."

  These requests are nothing, Brother Chuan naturally agreed readily. Chen Xin hung up the phone and his mood was slightly improved. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone again and dialed another number: "Is my brother Huang free tonight? How about going to Xintiandi to have some fun?"
