Chapter: 4983
Leaf Qi replied calmly, "Mr. Su, just say it then, no need to be so formal."
Su Shoudao's heart was unclear, and he laughed awkwardly saying, "I'm asking for a day of freedom tomorrow, even half a day is fine."
Su Shoudao was very clear in his mind that although he had come to New York with He Yingxiao, he was still being confined by Leaf Qi.
Leaf Qi listened to his request and curiously asked him, "Mr. Su, what do you want to do with your freedom time? You can tell me first if it's reasonable, and then we can discuss whether this is possible."
Su Shoudao hesitated for a moment, mustering up courage to say, "I want to buy a gift for Ruoli's mother and ask her to go out for dinner if the conditions allow."
Leaf Qi listened until this point and suddenly became interested. He looked at Su Shoudao and asked directly, "Are you planning to get closer with Ms. He?"
Su Shoudao's expression became flustered as he hurriedly explained, "Mr. Leaf, don't misunderstand me. I have no ulterior motives or trying to influence your punishment. I'm making this request solely based on my personal feelings."
As he reached this point, he couldn't help but let out a sigh and lamented, "Mr. Leaf, in fact, during the time we spent in Jinling, I've really been reflecting deeply on myself. My life has indeed been quite unsuccessful. I've set myself up as an opponent I can never defeat, and selected a woman I'll never be able to influence... I thought I was standing at the peak of many families within the country, but I didn't realize that my three children have repeatedly gotten themselves into trouble..."
At this moment, Su Shoudao looked at the direction of the bathroom with a guilty expression, muttering to himself: "And I've let someone who loves me pay for me so much over these years, every time I think about it, I feel ashamed and helpless..."
Leaf Qi listened to these words and nodded slightly, his attitude towards Su Shoudao also changed slightly.
In Leaf Qi's eyes, enemies came in two forms: one was a great evil that had to be killed, while the other was not so bad and could still be saved.
If the Su family truly was behind the death of their parents, Leaf Qi would definitely make all the Su family members pay for it.
But fortunately, the Su family didn't actually participate, so there was still a chance to save them.
So, Leaf Qi just pretended to lament: "What Mrs. He has indeed paid for you, not just her, but even Yu Li has paid for you and the Su family, and they've been betrayed by the Su family multiple times."
Su Shoudao said with shame: "You're right... The previous Su family members were all too cold-blooded, including myself..."
As he spoke, Su Shoudao could not help but express his sincere thoughts: "So I've been thinking during this time, hoping to have an opportunity to make amends for her and the two women."
Leaf Qi asked curiously: "What do you plan to do?"
Su Shoudao hesitated before speaking out loud what was on his mind, looking at Leaf Qi with a very determined expression: "Mr. Leaf, I won't hide it from you - I want to go buy a ring tomorrow and book a high-class restaurant to invite Mrs. He's mother together for dinner, and then propose to her during the dinner...".
"Are you proposing?" Leaf Qi furrowed his brow, looking at Su Shoudao with a serious tone. "As the eldest son of the Su family, why would Mrs. He's mother, who has given birth to Rong'er for you, be treated differently just because she is disabled? Of course, I don't mean to discriminate against people with disabilities, but I'm wondering if you've carefully considered the gap between your social status and hers."
Su Shoudao saw Leaf Qi raise an eyebrow again, saying some questioning words, which made him think that Leaf Qi was doubting himself. So he didn't hesitate to say: "Mr. Leaf, don't doubt my motives. I genuinely want to spend the rest of my life with Mrs. He's mother, and I know she has always had me in her heart. This time period has also been my inner hope, and you can be assured that if she agrees to marry me, I will continue to follow your previous arrangements. From then on, I'll even be willing to remain under her control in Jinling for the rest of my life. You just need to give me one day's freedom after that."
As he spoke, Su Shoudao said very sincerely: "Regarding the gap problem you mentioned earlier, it no longer exists in my eyes. I'm not some big shot from the Su family anymore, nor am I the heir to the throne. And as for her arm, she sacrificed it to save my life, so I owe her. If there is a gap, it's only that she is higher than me, and I'm trying to catch up."
Leaf Qi saw Su Shoudao's expression was genuine and knew that what he said was from the heart. Suddenly, he felt a sense of sympathy.
In fact, from one angle, Leaf Qi also had some empathy for Su Shoudao.
Apart from that, he deeply loved Du Huaqing for so many years without being able to win her true heart, which indeed moved him to tears.
Moreover, Old Master Su Chengming was a strong and ruthless person, who oppressed Su Shoudao relentlessly. Even during critical moments, he forced Su Shoudao to leave for Australia, and his own daughter was sold out by Old Master Su without being able to do anything about it. This big shot had indeed been worn down. JrNovels.com
