Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 990 Synthesis of Idols 49

Susan had finally managed to return to Taiwan, and the Su family knew that she would settle in Shanghai in the future, so they secretly arranged a blind date for her when she came back to attend Ou Yaruo's wedding.

To be honest, Susan had been secretly tried by Ms. Su Lixiang to match her up with Zhong Tianjun before, but after nothing happened, Ms. Su Lixiang found other things to do, so she forgot about urging them to get married. Susan thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but when she returned to Taiwan to attend the wedding, she had to face a big event like a blind date.

Sophie, who was arranged by her family elders to inform Susan about the blind date, only said that her family had arranged some young talents with good personalities and good family backgrounds for her. She didn't dare to say anything else and hurriedly left the impending Shura field on the pretext of going on a date with William.

However, Sophie was also a person with her own ideas, but she couldn't get away from the arrangements of her elders, so when she went out to find William, she immediately asked William to help investigate those blind dates of Susan. "The elders said that those people were carefully selected young talents, but I really don't trust the elders' vision. After all, the considerations of us young people must be somewhat different from the ideas of the elders."

William also thought this was a solution, so he agreed immediately: "No problem, leave it to me. Although I don't agree with you interfering in anyone's relationship, Susan is just on a blind date now, and we do need to help her screen out those with flawed character."

William didn't say that this was also meant to help Susan out, but Sophie understood his implication. Thinking of the relatives from the Outer Eighth Route Army who she rarely saw during the holidays, she felt uncomfortable all of a sudden. "Those people surrounded the grandfathers and seemed very eager to introduce some young talents to my sister. Who knows what they are thinking in private?"

William saw that Sophie was unhappy and tried to comfort her, but he also thought it would be good to let Sophie see the true faces of those so-called relatives who suddenly appeared. "Sophie, you have to know that even if they are real relatives, they may not necessarily watch us live well. Most relatives are the kind who can't stand seeing others do well, and they wish to take all the benefits into their arms."

The Spencer family was a very large family, with five earls, two grand dukes, and many viscounts. William alone had the title of earl. His father, the old earl, had four younger brothers and three sisters.

By William's generation, he had six older sisters. Because the old earl's first four wives only gave birth to girls, there was indeed true love between the old earl and William's mother. This true love also brought good results. Finally, the boy William was born. Therefore, the old earl devoted himself to William's mother.

To be honest, even though William was well protected since he was a child, the malice from his sisters still reached his ears continuously, so he knew from a young age that even among brothers and sisters, there were some things that were not good enough for each other, not to mention more distant relatives.

Sophie is different. She has hardly ever suffered any grievances since she was a child. In her mind, elders must be kind. Even though she met Ou Yaruo's father who had no kindness at all, she did not know that there were parents in the world who could not be good to their children because she had not witnessed Ou Huaimin's bad behavior with her own eyes.

However, Sophie is not completely ignorant of the ways of the world. After all, as a teacher, she has also visited homes. She has of course come across many examples where parents are so exhausted from making a living that their care for their children merely stops at providing them with food and clothing, and they are completely unable to take care of their children's further psychological formation.

Sophie, who had thought a lot, smiled and looked at William who was worried about her. "I know some things are beyond human control, and I won't be depressed for too long because of irrelevant people and things. But I don't know what kind of partner Susan wants. I'm even worried that she will remain single for the rest of her life."

William felt that Susan was too highbrow and that in her eyes, no one could match her. Of course, he would not judge Susan's thoughts and actions by his own standards. He just said to Sophie, "Everyone is different from others. If Susan is really most comfortable being single, then we relatives should bless her, right?"

As for Susan, in just one morning, she had already witnessed the differences among humans, and was about to witness the differences between species.

While eating at noon, Susan complained to Grandpa Su: "Grandpa, although I know you are very anxious to see us young people single, but my conditions, you should be picky anyway, you don't know what those relatives sent me..."

Anyone could guess what Susan didn't say, and Old Man Su felt a little embarrassed, but his dissatisfaction was not directed at Susan, but at those so-called relatives who recommended the candidates.

Grandpa Su sighed and apologized to Susan: "Grandpa is really old. Just because of the excitement, he forgot that people are evil. Grandpa is here to say sorry to you."

Of course Susan didn't mean to blame the old man. In fact, although these elderly people are afraid of noise, they also like lively atmosphere. It's just that some things are unavoidable.

"Grandpa, those relatives and friends can make you laugh, so it means that my efforts to see those ugly people today were not in vain."

"But Grandpa, you are in good health and in better spirits now. Have you ever thought about going to the mainland to have a look?"

Mr. Su was very amused by Susan's previous words, but when he heard the second sentence, he felt a little disappointed.

"Back then, our ancestors were very famous people in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so for some reasons they came to Taiwan and settled down there. Now we don't have any relatives within the fifth degree of mourning in the mainland, so we can only be strangers if we go there."

Susan ignored all this and said directly, "Grandpa, although we call ourselves Taiwanese, we are actually Chinese. When we encounter any problems when we go out, we will seek help from the Chinese embassy. This is a fact that cannot be changed."

"As for the so-called cross-strait relations, the people have actually reached a consensus long ago. It's just that we are feudal remnants in the eyes of the other side, and the politicians here are unwilling to admit defeat and can only cling to their shortcomings and passively resist. Who knows when the gap between the two sides will completely disappear."

The old man was very pleased to hear Susan's words. "You shouldn't be an artist, you should go into politics. Maybe you can contribute to the unification of the motherland."

Susan declined the offer of a career in politics, and the blind date came to an end. She continued to live a leisurely life in the old house, and Mr. and Mrs. Su, who were far away in Europe, never mentioned her love life.
