Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238 We All Miss You

Song Jingxian’s eyes slowly reddened at the thought of her Second Uncle having passed away, and her heart filled with joy when she realized that the young girl who once chased after her, wanting Xiaoya back, and then supported her, was actually her own cousin.

No wonder she took a liking to her at first sight.

No wonder Su Wen was so beautiful; considering she is the daughter of Professor Su, it wouldn’t be odd even if she were more beautiful.

In the Province, the Su family——

It was breakfast time, and a whole table of people sat in the dining room. With the school now on winter break, Su Xue had returned from Clear Water County high school, and of the seven sisters, only Fifth Sister was not present.

The table buzzed with lively conversations about interesting things, and Su Wen occasionally asked Su Xue about how things were at school.

“By the way, have you considered transferring schools?” Su Wen suddenly asked. “Now that everyone has settled in the Province, we’re not comfortable leaving you alone in the county.”

Since she arrived, Su Xue and Fifth Sister had spent very little time at home, resulting in limited interaction. Now that Su Qing, Su Xiu, Sixth Sister, and Little Sister had all followed her to the Province, Su Xue was effectively left alone in Clear Water County, which sometimes made Su Wen wonder if she was showing too much favoritism.

If it were Little Sister or any of the others in Su Xue’s place, Su Wen would have transferred them to the Province without a second thought.

Su Xue didn’t even hesitate, smiling at Su Wen, “I’d rather not transfer. I get along well with the teachers and classmates, and I suspect the teachers would be very disappointed if I left.”

Su Xue’s academic performance was outstanding, setting her apart at school and leaving teachers free of worry. The whole school pinned their hopes on her, waiting for her to bring honor to the school in the College Entrance Examination, without expecting her to achieve like Su Jun did.

Getting into a key university wouldn’t be a problem for her.

Su Wen thought for a moment, then turned to Su Qing.

Ever since she became pregnant, the day-to-day operations of the studio had mostly been handed over to Su Qing. Su Wen would only get involved with the storefront when issues arose. Su Wen was increasingly relying on Su Qing, not just for the business but domestic matters too.

“You should transfer to the Province! The procedures aren’t difficult, and with your grades, any school would welcome you,” Su Qing supported her big sister’s decision. “Think about it. It’s just a suggestion from us, no pressure.”

“Okay! I’ll think about it.”

Su Xiu also joined in, “We all really miss you when you’re not here.”

Little Sister and Sixth Sister, the little clever ones, eagerly chimed in—one expressing how much she missed Fourth Sister, the other expressing hope that Fourth Sister would take her to school to let her classmates see how impressive her sister was.

Hearing this made Su Xue laugh.

“By the way, when is Fifth Sister coming back?” Su Xue deftly changed the subject.

Su Wen looked at Su Xue with a meaningful glance but said nothing. It wasn’t strange to have a preference; compared to Su Xue, Su Wen naturally favored the others more.

Zhou Hengyang, who had been silent all along, saw everything more clearly than anyone. He placed a beautifully fried sunny-side up egg into Su Wen’s bowl, “You need to eat more nutritious food.”

“Alright.”

The couple exchanged glances, understanding each other without words.

Zhou Hengyang finished eating first and put down his bowl, just as the phone in the living room rang. He got up to answer it.

Most calls to the house were for him—eight out of ten times.

By the time Su Wen had finished breakfast, Zhou Hengyang was still on the phone, his expression ice cold and his presence daunting. Noticing Su Wen approaching, his tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly, but not by much; he just didn’t want to scare his wife.
