Two days later, Su Shicheng called Su Jin again.
This time, his attitude was very firm: "I've discussed it with your mother, and we've decided to end your exchange program in the United States early. I've already communicated with the international exchange office at your school, and they will help you with the necessary procedures. You'll be back next week."
Su Jin was stunned. She hadn't expected her parents to be so resolute, ending her teaching and learning schedule without even discussing it with her.
She was extremely dissatisfied: "Dad, how could you do this?"
Unfortunately, she couldn't change her father's mind. Su Shicheng's tone on the phone was very firm: "You must listen to my arrangements on this matter. After you come back, finish your university studies in China. It's not too late to go abroad for further studies later. As for that Xiao Huang, cut off contact with him as soon as possible."
Su Jin panicked: "No! Dad, you can't do this to me!"
Unexpectedly, Su Shicheng's voice was even louder than hers: "I'm doing this for your own good! You're still young and don't understand some things yet. You'll understand in the future. That's all. Once the procedures are completed, your school will contact you."
Su Shicheng then hung up the phone.
Su Jin sat alone on the sofa, lost in thought, her eyes red. This scene was witnessed by Mao Wa, who had just returned home.
"What's wrong?" Maowa asked with concern.
Su Jin's voice was a little hoarse: "My dad just called and wants to terminate my exchange program in the United States early. He wants me to go back to China next week."
Maowa froze instantly; this was something he had never expected.
Although he was mentally prepared, Su Jin's father's move caught him off guard.
After a moment of silence, he sat down next to Su Jin and advised, "Since that's the case, you should go back first, and don't ruin your relationship with your father."
Su Jin looked up at Maowa with a surprised expression: "What do you mean?"
Maowa gently put his arm around Su Jin's shoulder: "Don't worry, the most important thing right now isn't between the two of us, but rather to sort out your relationship with your parents. Although we'll be separated for a while, I believe that as long as our feelings for each other are genuine, there's not much to worry about. Besides, once you go back and ease the tension with your parents, we'll have a better chance, right?"
Su Jin's tears fell again: "But..."
Maowa pulled out a few tissues and wiped away Su Jin's tears: "There's no 'but' about it. I promise you, things will definitely change after you go back. Trust me."
Su Jin looked at Maowa with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
Maowa took a deep breath: "Okay, I have something to tell you, but you can't be angry after you find out, because I didn't mean to keep it from you, I just didn't find the right opportunity to tell you."
Su Jin nodded: "Okay, I'm not angry. Go ahead and tell me!"
"You've probably heard of Huang Xiaochuan, right?"
When Su Jin heard Mao Wa mention this name, her eyes lit up as she immediately realized something.
Maowa grasped her hand and continued, "Yes, he is my third uncle, my biological uncle. My dad is his second brother." As he spoke, he pulled out several photos from his phone, including a family portrait of their entire family and a photo of him and his third uncle.
Although she had already guessed some of the results, Su Jin was still deeply shocked when she heard the news with her own ears. Now it all made sense why Mai Shunzhi, who had received so much attention and respect at that gathering, had been so submissive to her.
Mao Wa continued, "I know your parents don't care about my family background, but I think that can offset the impact of my mother's imprisonment on our relationship."
But Su Jin still had some doubts: "Having been with you for so long, I've never felt that you're like a rich kid, except for that time you flew first class."
Mao Wa laughed: "I'm not a rich kid, okay? You know what my dad does."
He paused for a moment, then took out the black card his third uncle had given him.
"The only difference between me and ordinary people is that I have this card."
Su Jin looked at the exquisite black card that gleamed with a metallic sheen and asked, "What is this?"
Mao Wa said, "This is a special Pacific Century Bank card. After I turn eighteen, I will receive a monthly dividend from the family trust set up by my third uncle. I can also get some special services with this card, such as concert tickets that others can't buy, tickets to major events, and entry to Michelin-starred restaurants without reservations, etc."
Su Jin understood immediately; it was similar to the Centurion Black Card, a card that could provide various services.
Su Jin stared at the black card in silence for a moment.
She then asked, "Are you keeping this from me because you're worried I'm after your family's money?"
Mao Wa hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, I really didn't mean that. You should know me. I'm not the kind of person who likes to show off. And since I was little, my family has always reminded me not to talk about my family's affairs casually. Over time, it has become a habit."
Su Jin looked at Maowa's anxious expression and suddenly smiled.
She scolded playfully, "You silly girl, do you think I'm angry about this?"
Maowa looked at Su Jin with a puzzled expression: "Isn't that right...?"
Su Jin rolled her eyes at Maowa: "I am a little angry, but not because you kept it from me. Do you know what I was thinking when you told me this just now?"
"What were you thinking?" Maowa was also curious.
Su Jin looked at him and smiled: "What I was thinking wasn't, 'Wow, you're a rich kid!' Instead, I was thinking, 'That's great! My parents probably won't object to us being together anymore.'"
Maowa smiled.
He then grasped Su Jin's hand and expressed his apology: "I'm sorry, if I had known it would turn out like this, I should have explained things to you and your mother sooner."
Su Jin shook her head: "It's okay, that's all in the past. What's important is now."
But then she frowned: "How am I supposed to tell my parents about this? I can't just tell them directly, 'Mom and Dad, I'm telling you, my boyfriend's uncle is Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia.' If I said that, my parents would definitely think I've gone crazy."
Mao Wa thought about it for a moment and came up with a plan: "How about I have my dad arrange a meeting with your parents? And I can also ask my third uncle to help me. He'll definitely help me."
Su Jin's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, my parents will definitely believe it."
But Maowa started to feel insecure again: "But I'm still not sure. What if your dad just doesn't agree?"
Su Jin was silent for a moment, then said with a firm look in her eyes, "I'll figure something out."
Then she looked into Maowa's eyes and said, "Then you must promise me that you will never change your heart towards me."
Maowa solemnly promised, "I will not and do not want to repeat the mistakes of my parents, so my decision to pursue our relationship is a well-thought-out one. As long as you don't say you're leaving me, I will always stay by your side."
Upon hearing this, Su Jin happily kissed Maowa.
