Chapter 350: Chapter 349: He Really Didn’t Mention Me, Not Even Once?
The two of them chatted in the small courtyard until the sky turned dark.
From Su Zhensheng, Shen Han heard about many conditions of the Great Wei from the perspective of a military general.
Having served for many years, Su Zhensheng’s observations and thoughts always began from the borders and military strength.
In Su Zhensheng’s view, although there had been constant minor frictions between the three major countries over the past decade,
there hadn’t been any major wars.
Counting it up, it seemed that everyone was focusing on recovering and building strength.
A peaceful and prosperous era doesn’t mean there is no crisis.
Those renowned strongmen haven’t changed much among the countries.
But in the younger generation, in terms of military investment,
Yan and Qi have made far greater improvements than Great Wei.
If we wait another twenty years, when this younger generation reaches their forties and fifties,
the strength among the three major countries will undergo earth-shattering changes.
According to Su Zhensheng’s observations, it would actually be better for Great Wei to actively seek battle now.
To restrain Yan and Qi’s recovery through warfare.
Shen Han did not disagree when he heard this.
From a military perspective, perhaps this was indeed a good idea.
But Great Wei has been plagued with internal and external troubles these years.
If the court isn’t stable enough, how dare they deploy troops in such a manner.
By 9 p.m., Shen Han was ready to leave.
Before leaving, Su Zhensheng hesitated for a moment but couldn’t help asking, “You and Jinyu… is there really no possibility anymore…”
For the Su family, or for his own daughter,
he still had to ask this question.
When it comes to his character, Shen Han is grateful and repay favors, which is so unlike Shen Ye who forsakes loyalty at the sight of profit and has no feelings at all.
When it comes to capabilities, Shen Han now is likely to be on par with Shen Ye.
From any angle, Shen Han is extremely suitable to be the Su family’s son-in-law.
Hearing this, Shen Han also became a little more serious.
“General Su, Miss Su’s heart already belongs to another man. Trying to get her to be close to me might be too difficult for her.
Moreover, I also have someone I admire in my heart.
It’s impossible for me to change my heart for another woman.”
Shen Han explained earnestly, to prevent further troubles.
Su Zhensheng was slightly stunned, and it took him a while to recover.
“I wonder which family’s young lady is so fortunate to win your favor.”
“This matter may only be discussed with General Su in the future…”
“No matter, I imagine she’s surely a remarkable and matchless beauty.
It only means my daughter from the Su family wasn’t destined for this, despite having the advantage, she couldn’t grasp the opportunity given by heaven.”
After speaking, Su Zhensheng did not keep Shen Han any longer.
After Shen Han left, he thought over and over again and still headed towards the Rain Listening Pavilion.
It was late, but Su Zhensheng went nonetheless.
A gentle breeze swayed lazily.
The spring evening was still comfortable.
Su Zhensheng sat in the pavilion and asked Qingcao to call Su Jinyu over.
A moment later, Su Jinyu, dressed neatly, walked into the pavilion.
Although they were both in the Capital City, father and daughter had not seen each other for a long time.
Standing in front of Su Zhensheng, Su Jinyu hesitated for quite some time before whispering “Father.”
Beside her, Qingcao presented a pot of freshly brewed tea.
Visiting so late, there might be something particularly urgent.
Father and daughter sat together in the pavilion as Su Zhensheng hesitated for a while before speaking.
“Today, Shen Han came to my courtyard and we had a long conversation.”
At the mention of Shen Han’s name, she froze for a moment.
The more outstanding Shen Han is, the more it shows that Su Jinyu lacks vision.
“In front of Father, he must have said some bad things about me, didn’t he?
Is that why you’ve come so late, upset and intending to punish your daughter?”
Su Jinyu spoke with a hint of accusation.
But before Su Zhensheng could respond, Qingcao couldn’t help interjecting.
“Miss, Young Master Shenhan is not that type of person. The master must have come late at night for some other reason…”
Hearing Qingcao’s interruption, Su Zhensheng didn’t get angry and even nodded.
“That young Shen Han never brought you up in front of me at all.
If I hadn’t mentioned it, he might not have remembered…
To be honest, my biggest disappointment is exactly that.
My daughter, who is of unmatched beauty and has exceptional talent in the Sword Dao, and he didn’t even think to mention her.
This time at the Ten Nations Grand Competition, Shen Han gained significant fame, and in the eyes of the Great Wei citizens, he’s a hero and a great benefactor.
Originally I thought, while drinking and chatting with him, he might mention his heroic deeds.
He might even subtly boast to show that my daughter Su Jinyu has made a mistake.
Failed to recognize his astonishing talent, and instead chose a heartless Shen Ye…
As Su Zhensheng said this, he paused and looked at Su Jinyu.
“Yet, after talking for several two-hour periods, he didn’t mention you at all…
His feelings towards you apparently hold no interest…”
Regarding matters of romance, Su Zhensheng had some understanding.
After all, he had been young once, and had experienced romantic entanglements.
The most unlikely pair is not one that bickers, argues, and fights constantly.
Sometimes two people who disapprove of each other develop feelings by noticing each other’s shining points.
Those pairs are more likely to come together.
But those who completely ignore and disregard each other are truly without possibility.
In their hearts, they may never have thought much about the other, or even forgotten their appearance.
After hearing her father’s words, it took Su Jinyu quite a while to come back to her senses.
“He really didn’t mention me at all…”
“Not a single mention, but before he left, I asked him if there was still a possibility between you two.”
“What did he say?”
Su Zhensheng didn’t hide it: “Shen Han said he already has someone he admires. I don’t know if he’s telling the truth.
But his words were very clear, he doesn’t want me to involve you with him anymore.
Visiting so late was to tell you that I’ve realized that among the Shen family juniors, whether Shen Ye or Shen Han,
there’s no fate with our Su family.
From now on, I will not interfere in your lifelong matters.
Everything will be up to your own decisions.
Just never place your affection on someone like Shen Ye who forsakes loyalty for profit.”
After finishing, Su Zhensheng left without hesitation this time.
Watching her father leave, Su Jinyu felt worse than being scolded.
Her master had abandoned her, and now her father wouldn’t care.
Shen Ye chose to marry the adopted daughter of the Changsun family, and Shen Han had someone else in his heart.
It seemed like Su Jinyu had fallen from the mountain peak to valley bottom.
Through the night, Su Jinyu stayed in the pavilion.
By dawn, she glanced at the long sword in her hand.
With no one to accompany her, she needed no one.
The sword in hand was her destiny.
With that, she leaped away.
