362 Seriously Bullshitting (1/2)
Xiao Luo did not have an issue with Su Li's request. Besides, he had nothing to do for the day and was planning to make good his promise to Su Xiaobei that he would take her to the theme park. It was the perfect day to do it—given the beautiful weather. As for why Su Li wanted her brother to tag along, he couldn't figure it out.
Su Li did seem like she wanted him to get acquainted with his brother-in-law, Su Canye. But, was that even possible?
It was already decided, and he didn't bother to overthink it. Besides, he didn't find Su Canye that repulsive, but on the contrary, he was quite an interesting character.
”You can't be serious. Get out of here… why are you so pathetic, driving such a low-end car that is not even worth 200 thousand dollars? How can I pick up girls with this? This won't cut it. I need to ask for the keys to my sister's Ferrari.”
One look at Xiao Luo's car in the parking lot, a Trumpchi, and Su Canye immediately turned around and headed back to the apartment. The only reason he was attending Kendo classes was that a girl he fancied was also training there. Previously when he still had his Bentley, he would drive over every day, just to show off. And now, having to arrive in a low-priced domestic car, he suddenly couldn't find the courage to show up at the Kendo Gym.
But, he stopped only after a few steps and walked back to the car. He suddenly had flashes of Su Li waving her index finger in his face and giving him an earful. Having just lost his Bentley, if he were to ask for the keys to her Ferrari, he would undoubtedly be dragged over a bed of burning coal.
”Forget it, the Trumpchi will have to do. Ice Face, I must say, your outlook in the family is exceedingly low, and it almost feels like my sister had just adopted a gigolo. You need to work harder, mate. You have to rise up one day and earn your dignity as a man. But, I have high hopes for you.” He patted Xiao Luo's back earnestly. ”Ice Face” was the nickname he gave Xiao Luo.
”I'll try my best.”
Xiao Luo smiled and rolled his eyes.
Su Xiaobei didn't understand a word her uncle was saying, and here head kept switching between Xiao Luo and Su Canye. In the end, she simply rubbed her cheeks with a puzzled expression.
”Ice Face, let's go the Kendo Gym first, then we can take the little princess to the theme park in the afternoon,” after getting in the car, Su Canye explained his plan for today.
”You may go ahead and do your stuff. I can keep Xiaobei company myself,” said Xiao Luo.
Su Canye immediately objected, ”No. A real man never goes back on his words. I've already promised my sister, and besides, although Lil' princess calls you daddy, you're still an outsider at the end of the day. You're not bonded to her by blood, and Lil' princess is so cute, what would I do if you decided to sell her away?”
Xiao Luo was speechless.
”Silly girl, you're still a kid, and you still don't understand society's dangers yet. Do you remember how you almost got kidnapped by the bad guys in Jiangcheng City?”
Su Xiaobei didn't know how to respond to that, and all she could do was to stare at Su Canye blankly and pout her lips.
”Listen to uncle, I'm always right. This is also the reason your mummy asked me to tag along. She is afraid of you getting abducted again. If that happens, then the earth will go 'kaboom,' you get me?” Su Canye patted Su Xiaobei's head as he looked into her eyes and spoke solemnly.
The little girl was utterly confused and shook her head. ”No.”
