Chapter 1592: 1592 Humble learning from son 3

"If Mom hadn’t been so beautiful," Little Ye’er said smugly, touching his own little cheek, "how could her son possibly be this handsome?"

"Young Master speaks the truth. It must be hard for the young Master, calling Miss ’Mom’ in private and ’Dad’ in front of outsiders, yet you’ve never slipped up once."

"Of course, such a low-level mistake is not something I, Su Xuanye, would make. I’m not stupid." Little Ye’er strutted back to the study with his hands behind his back like a little adult, "Aunt Yinzhu, I’m ready to hear about the task my Mom tasked you with."

"Yes, young Master..."

After leaving the Su Mansion, Su Qingyue first toured around the capital to inspect her various businesses.

Then she sat leisurely by the window on the second floor of a Tea House, sipping tea.

A young aristocrat walked upstairs, saw her, and came over, "Brother Su, I didn’t expect to run into you here."

Su Qingyue glanced at him.

He was dressed in a purple brocade robe embroidered with golden threads, a jade crown atop his head, his pale skin, his lips a light shade of red, the brocade robe accentuating his extraordinary demeanour, his features more beautiful than a woman’s.

He was Gongsun Yanli, the legitimate eldest son of the Gongsun Family.

He was also Gongsun Qianru’s biological elder brother.

Over the years, since Su Qingyue had seemingly faded from the public eye and practiced medicine under the alias ’Unnamed,’ only a few had seen her. Thus, Gongsun Qianru continued to bear the title of the most beautiful woman in the world.

It was due to business dealings that she became acquainted with Gongsun Yanli, who only knew her as the wealthy new arrival in the capital over five years ago, the young Master of the Su Family, and that she was doing well in business. He didn’t know anything else.

Su Qingyue withdrew her gaze, thinking that the title of the most beautiful woman in the world should not belong to Gongsun Qianru. It should be him, Gongsun Yanli. If he dressed as a woman, wouldn’t he bring nations to their knees?

For an ordinary rich merchant, Gongsun Yanli would not usually deign to engage in conversation. Although he had met with the surname Su a few times over the years, their interaction was nothing deep.

For some reason, he couldn’t stop himself from chatting up ’him’ whenever he saw ’him,’ even though ’his’ older brother seemed unremarkable.

Maybe it was because everyone, men and women alike, were astounded by his own looks—yet ’he’ remained as indifferent as water.

And ’he’ didn’t cringe or cower because of his status as the head of a first-class family; that’s why he respected ’him.’

Last year, Gongsun Xi, the head of the Gongsun Family and a first-class family head, fell seriously ill and passed away, leaving his rightful eldest son, Gongsun Yanli, to take over the clan leader position.

Su Qingyue thought to herself that it’s not that she hadn’t seen Gongsun Xi, who was very healthy. Suddenly, he died last year, and the man in front of her was the greatest beneficiary.

Who knows if Gongsun Xi really died of an illness?

However, since Gongsun Yanli was the legitimate eldest son of the Gongsun Family, it was taken for granted that he would inherit his father’s position and no one would speculate or gossip about anything.

Qingyue would never involve herself in the Gongsun Family’s suspicion; she just nodded at him politely.

Gongsun Yanli’s gaze fell on ’his’ calm and ordinary face, "It’s been quite a long time since I’ve seen you. May I sit down and have a cup of tea with you?"

"Please." Su Qingyue gestured to the vacant seat across the table.

After Gongsun Yanli sat down, he asked the waiter to serve several desserts.

His follower Little Nine found it strange at first that his Master would take the initiative to get close to Su Xingyun, as the Master usually didn’t like to get close to people. Over the years, although the Master never intentionally sought out Su Xingyun, every time they met, he would invite conversation, which was no longer surprising.

Su Xingyun was the false name Su Qingyue used when dealing with others.
