Volume 1 Rebirth Return Chapter 38 Arriving at Su's House

  At this time, the streets of Beijing were not as congested as they would be in later times, and since it was nighttime, there were even fewer vehicles on the road. They soon arrived at the siheyuan that Liu Qingyun had mentioned. Du Yan went ahead and turned on all the lights, so when Su Rui followed her master into the courtyard, the entire place was already brightly lit. It was only then that Su Rui realized that the siheyuan in Qingmu County was a smaller version of this one - even the auspicious vases placed in the courtyard were identical. This surprised Su Rui greatly. "Master, was the siheyuan in Qingmu County built according to this one? Even the auspicious vases are identical! Let me see if the goldfish inside are also identical!"

  "Huh, it's really the same after all"

  Su Rui's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Liu Qingyun.

  "Cough, cough, this auspicious vase is the one from Qingmu County. Go take a look at the room prepared for you and tell Du Yan if anything is missing." Although Liu Qingyun rarely saw her own disciple's so naive and childish side, she still had to make her restrain herself in front of others, otherwise the dignity of Tianji Gate would be ruined by her.

  She caught the implicit meaning of Master's words, and when she saw Du Yan's expressionless face, Su Rui also felt a bit awkward. She suddenly distanced herself from the lucky basin, out of Du Yan's sight, and stuck her tongue out at Liu Qingyun.

  "Where is my room? Is it in the same location as Qingmu County?" Su Rui didn't wait for Du Yan's response and headed towards the backyard, passing through the Moon Gate. Indeed, she saw a similar landscape to the small quadrangle courtyard of Qingmu County. Su Rui familiarly found her own room, but when she pushed open the door, she discovered that it was completely different from her room in the small quadrangle courtyard. Unlike the simple and rustic style there, this one looked ancient and elegant, with a decoration style reminiscent of an ancient woman's boudoir. If not for seeing the bed she had slept on for several nights and was already accustomed to, she would have thought she had walked into the wrong room.

  "This is the room Mr. let me prepare for you, take a look if anything is missing, I'll go and get it ready for you." Su Rui turned around and saw Du Yan leaning lazily against the door frame, not at all like his usual elegant self.

  Su Rui looked around the entire suite and her gaze stopped at a certain point, "What is that?!" Su Rui pointed to an octagonal box, already speechless.

  Seeing the octagonal box pointed by Su Rui, Du Yan's left hand clenched into a fist and placed under his mouth, "Cough, cough, this is a needlework box." After finishing speaking, his eyes darted around, feeling extremely guilty. In order to let Mr. return to Beijing and live in the long-awaited quadrangle courtyard, he had exhausted himself to transport those things back to the capital city. If it weren't for the person in front of him, Mr. wouldn't have suddenly returned without giving him time to prepare. So, he was so tired because of the 14-year-old girl in front of him. As a grown man, he wouldn't really make things difficult for a little girl, but making her feel a bit uncomfortable was okay. Therefore, he also placed the needlework box in her room. After all, Mr. asked him to decorate according to the traditional women's boudoir style, and traditional women would do embroidery and other needlework, so it wasn't a big deal for Su Rui to learn...

  Seeing Su Rui's face turn black, Du Yan was a bit uncertain. The momentum that made him somewhat fearful was really just a 14-year-old little girl? Compared to Mr., it wasn't much better either. When he thought of the fallen Qingmu County tyrant Zhang Fumin, Du Yan shuddered. At the beginning, Su Rui had easily avenged herself using Mr.'s power. Hiss... He really wanted to peel off her skin and see if there was an old demon inside.

  Have to say Du Yan is right, now Su Rui is indeed an old fox wrapped in a 14-year-old tender skin.

  "Take it away, I don't need this thing. Get me another computer that can connect to the internet." Su Rui's expression was calm and collected. She saw Du Yan's expression and knew that this wasn't something Master had asked him to prepare, so she felt at ease. If she were forced to learn embroidery or other feminine pursuits, she'd rather die.

  "Where is my master?" Although the room was prepared by Du Yan, without her master's orders, she thought, Du Yan wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to bring back the bed she had slept in for several nights from such a faraway place.

  "The master has rested." Du Yan didn't know what she wanted to do with Liu Qingyun, but as a professional secretary, he still maintained his daytime strict and elite demeanor. "I live in the west wing, if there's anything you need, you can find me. I'm going to sleep now."

  Du Yan's eyes had been dark and sunken for some time, I reckon he'd exerted himself greatly to transport these pieces of furniture back to the capital, after all 94 wasn't as convenient as later generations.

  "Thank you," Du Yan, who had already turned around, heard Su Rui's thanks, the corner of his mouth curled up, without turning back, just waved his hand and returned to the room.

  Su Rui smiled lightly and closed the door.

  The next day, Su Rui got up early as usual and practiced with her master at home. What was different was that she saw Du Yan exercising in the courtyard.

  Su Rui saw Du Yan wearing a tank top and boxing, raised an eyebrow and smiled. She didn't expect that the usually bespectacled and suit-wearing Du Yan would be so capable. She thought he was just a pretty boy, but it turned out she had underestimated him.

  Although Du Yan was seriously boxing, Su Rui's naked gaze still made him very uncomfortable. Just as he wanted to say something, he found that the gaze on his body had disappeared, and suddenly, it made him let out a sigh of relief.

  After breakfast, Su Rui told Liu Qingyun that they would be going to Ye Ye and her maternal grandfather's house today. Liu Qingyun naturally knew this already, but seeing his apprentice ask for permission first made him feel pleased. He gladly approved his apprentice's small request.

  Su Rui was going to her grandfather's house and of course she couldn't take the bus by herself, so Du Yan could only reluctantly act as her driver. Because...

  Because she had called ahead of time to tell Su Lao, when she arrived at the door, she saw Su Yu standing upright at the door.

  "Big brother!" Su Rui got out of the car and ran to Su Yin, who was driving. Du Yan, who had wanted to say something from the driver's seat, could only rub his nose in frustration and watch as Su Rui got into Su Yin's Jeep and headed towards the big courtyard.

  The guard at the side of the big house was shocked, Su's eldest son is a well-known black face, and he just saw him smiling! Although it wasn't very obvious, for someone who almost never smiles, this was already big news. Moreover, he had just heard that little girl call Su Lao Da "big brother", when did the Su family have a daughter? Was she Su Lao Da's girlfriend? Here to meet the parents today? Shh! This is too young!

  Su Yin still didn't know that his smile had already made the security guards think he was a weirdo. But even if he knew, he wouldn't have minded anyway.

  Soon, Su Rui arrived at the Su's house.

  Su Rui got off the car and stood in front of the Su family gate, with infinite emotions in her heart. She's back! In her previous life, it was here that Grandfather had heard about Su Tan's mission to sacrifice for the country, and suddenly suffered a heart attack. Before he could be sent to the hospital, he closed his eyes forever. Thinking about her previous life, her maternal grandfather passed away, and her eldest uncle was repeatedly demoted. The entire Su family instantly fell from being a first-rate family to a second-rate one. The Ye family had no family support, and were even more miserable than the Su family. Her maternal grandfather had been in such good health, yet he was slowly dragged to death by illness!

  Su Rui closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they had become as calm as a still pond. Taking a deep breath, Su Rui stepped into the Su family home.
