Volume 1 Rebirth Return Chapter 54 The Family Recognition Banquet
Su Lao and Ye Lao heard the sound of the door opening, their sharp eyes turned towards the entrance, wondering who was so reckless as to disturb them. But when they saw it was their beloved granddaughter, Su Rui, they immediately put away their stern expressions and their faces softened. The way they looked at Su Rui was full of affection and love.
As soon as Su Rui came in, she felt that the quiet atmosphere was a bit eerie. However, when she saw her grandfather and uncle looking at her with kind faces, she threw off the strange feeling and called out to them sweetly.
Su Lao Ye Zi heard his granddaughter come in and immediately called out "Grandpa", then glanced at Ye Lao with a provocative look, his intention to show off was very clear.
Ye Lao had a mind to blow up, but in front of his granddaughter, he was afraid of scaring her. If he let his granddaughter be afraid of him, it would not be worth it. So he just gave Su Lao a subtle glare and turned to look at Su Rui with affection as she walked over.
Su Lao and Ye Lao's interaction, how could Su Rui not notice, with a smile in her heart, she was also deeply moved. To be reborn and experience the love of family again, it's really great.
Liu Qingyun sat down beside him, Su Rui poured a cup of tea and handed it to her own master. She saw Old Man Su and Old Man Ye blowing their beards and staring with wide eyes. Their precious granddaughter was actually serving tea to someone else, even if that person was Liu Dage who had saved their lives!
Su Er Ye stood aside holding his tea cup quietly watching the play while also observing this little granddaughter who had just been found.
Although Su Rui was brought back by Old Master Su himself, Second Master Su still couldn't help but be suspicious, especially after hearing that Su Rui had sought out the Su family herself. Qingmu County, he had never even heard of it, and yet a girl from such a backward small county could deliver a letter to the Su family in the capital and successfully catch the attention of his older brother - how could she possibly be a simple person?
When it comes to his elder brother and Ye Da Ge, two old men who have been in charge of their lives for a lifetime, they will not be easily deceived by others. However, when it comes to family relationships, it's not necessarily the case. Just looking at how the two of them were flustered because of Su Rui's household registration, you can tell that they care about this little granddaughter very much. If Su Rui is someone else's pawn, then the situation in the Su family is not good. If that's really the case, then Su Rui must be gotten rid of. Thinking of this, Su Er Ye furrowed his brow, and his gaze towards Su Rui became even more piercing, with a hint of murderous intent. Not to mention Su Rui and Liu Qing Yun, who have senses far stronger than ordinary people, but even Su Lao and Ye Lao, who are also veterans from the battlefield, are very sensitive to killing intent, so they quickly discovered the murderous intent emanating from Su Er Ye.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Su Lao and Ye Lao were no longer as kind and loving as they had been just now. They put away their smiles and looked at Su Er Ye.
Su Er Ye saw that both Su Lao and Ye Lao were looking at him, knowing he had been too careless. However, he didn't care; he thought this way for the good of the Su family, especially for his older brother's sake.
So he met Su Lao and Ye Lao's gaze without any evasion, his eyes were firm but also very clear.
Su Lao put down the teacup in his hand, sighed, "Lao Er, I know what you're thinking. I can't stop you from suspecting her, but I absolutely won't allow you to harm her." Although Ye Lao didn't say anything, it was clear that he shared Su Lao's sentiment and trusted Su Rui.
Su Rui was moved to tears, she knew that she had put the letter in the box and asked Tao Zexi to give it to her brother, which was a reckless move. Her grandfather and uncle chose to believe her because she was their granddaughter, but others wouldn't be so easily convinced.
Su Rui blinked, holding back the tears that were about to overflow, poured a cup of tea, bowed, and held out both hands in front of Su Er Ye, "Second Master, please have some tea."
Su Er Ye looked at the cup of tea in front of him, then glanced at Ju Xiang's Su Rui, seeing that her eyes were red-rimmed, but her gaze was firm and clear as water. He sneered at himself in his heart, suspecting even a little girl like this - she was still just a child after all - what did it matter if she had some scheme in mind?
Su Rui's eyes were really too similar to those of his sister-in-law and Ah Pu. Thinking of his elder brother's wife who had died for the Su family, Su Er Ye's gaze towards Su Rui softened. Seeing that Su Rui was still in a bowing posture, he took the tea from Su Rui, took a sip, and then pulled out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Su Rui. "Remember not to disappoint your grandfather and uncle."
Su Rui saw the second grandfather relax, smiled and agreed, took over the red envelope, secretly touched the thickness of the red envelope, and silently speculated in her heart: thin, could it be a check?
Su Rui certainly knew what Second Grandfather was worried about. A long journey tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart; everything will be proven by time.
As soon as Su Er Ye took the teacup, Old Man Su and Old Man Ye let out a sigh of relief at the same time, giving Su Er Ye a "you're sensible" look. This made Su Er Ye laugh and cry at the same time. Looking at Su Rui standing there quietly with a noble demeanor, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Having such a granddaughter isn't bad either. If it were him, he would also spoil her like that. It's just a pity that he only has one grandson.
Su Er Ye looked at Liu Qing Yun, "Who is this?" Su Rui had accepted her because she was a member of the Su family, but just because his master had accepted her didn't mean he had to buy into it. From Qingmu County all the way to the capital, could Big Brother really be so careless?
Su Lao looked at his younger brother and asked Lv Qingyun on the side, hastily answering, "This is Su Rui's master, Mr. Lv."
Su Er Ye gave his older brother a strange look, but he was smart enough not to pursue the matter further. There was still some tacit understanding between close brothers like them.
Su Rui accompanied the four elders to rest in the side hall for a while, listening to Grandpa and Grandfather talk about their parents' interesting stories when they were young. Before long, Ye Lao Furen and Su Dabo also came to the side hall, and as soon as they entered, they pinched Su Rui's face, seeing that Su Rui's hair was a bit messy. They simply pulled Su Rui away, saying that today's host must be dressed up beautifully.
The result was that Su Rui was still fiddling around, and in the end, she couldn't bear it anymore. Just thinking about applying bright red lipstick made her heart skip a beat. In the end, Su Rui took matters into her own hands, casually tied up her hair, applied some light-colored lip balm, and didn't bother with anything else. She was at an age where she was in full bloom, and using those cosmetics would only be gilding the lily, covering up her youthful advantages.
It turned out that Auntie was delighted with Su Rui's simple yet beautiful hairstyle and couldn't wait to try it herself, so Su Rui had no choice but to style a very Korean-style noblewoman's hair for her.
Since she had started, Su Rui decided to do it perfectly, so she wiped away the original makeup of her aunt and reapplied a new one, making Xue Rui's originally pale skin stand out.
Watching Su Rui paint a beautiful makeup on Xue Ju's face with just a few strokes, Lou Xiufeng also wanted to try, but felt that she was no longer young and that wearing makeup would look gaudy and unrefined.
Su Rui knew her grandmother's thoughts, so after she finished making up for her eldest aunt, she also made up a makeup for her grandmother, only to give her grandmother a light makeup, and her hair was simply tied up.
Today, Lou Xuefeng specially wore a deep red cheongsam, plus Su Rui's light makeup, not only did it not make people feel cheap, but instead made her look more elegant.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
