Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 1430 1425: Going Home

Early on, when Su Chen was helping her, she was already willing to give herself to Su Chen, but Su Chen rejected her.Su Chen's self-assessment is, "I might not be a good person, but I absolutely don't want to take advantage of someone in distress."

The old residential house, although it was habitable, was already approaching what could be called a dangerous building.

It's hard to imagine that He Li, whose monthly income is nearly twenty thousand, would live in such a place.

"Su Chen, wait a moment for me."

He Li changed from the high heels on her feet into the flat shoes she carried in her handbag.

"Let's go." After tidying her appearance, He Li naturally took Su Chen's arm and walked towards the rows of residential houses.

Along the way, people occasionally greeted He Li, and she responded with a smile. It was apparent that He Li had lived here for quite a while.

Otherwise, she wouldn't recognize so many people.

"Oh, Lili, brought your boyfriend back?" Someone saw Su Chen being held by He Li and couldn't help but tease.

He Li responded with a shy smile and did not refute, which was considered as acknowledging Su Chen's identity.

Su Chen also politely smiled at them, knowing that sometimes silence was better than speaking.

But the elderly woman who spoke suddenly showed a peculiar expression, looking between Su Chen and He Li.

She seemed to be hesitating whether to say something to them.

"Aunt Rong, is there something you want to say?" After many encounters in her work, He Li was not someone who couldn't read expressions at all.

She clearly noticed the unusual behavior of 'Aunt Rong', which led to her question.

"Little Li, Auntie has a few words to say to you. Can you..." She glanced at Su Chen embarrassedly, indicating that she wanted to speak away from him.

He Li looked back at Su Chen, who generously said, "It's okay, you two go ahead and talk. I'll look around."

"Then wait a little, I'll be back after talking to Aunt Rong."

Aunt Rong mysteriously pulled He Li aside.

In fact, it was only about ten meters away from Su Chen. Normally, people whispering at this distance wouldn't worry about being overheard.

But Su Chen is not an ordinary person. Not to mention ten meters, even if thirty meters away, his freakish hearing could still catch a few words.

At this distance, even more so; it was like they were speaking right by Su Chen's ear.

"Little Li, hasn't your mom told you?" Aunt Rong tentatively asked.

"Aunt Rong, what are you talking about? What should my mom be telling me?" He Li looked puzzled.

"It's about your marriage proposal." Aunt Rong hinted discreetly.

"Aunt Rong, I'm still dating my boyfriend for now..."

"It's not him." Aunt Rong secretively glanced at Su Chen before speaking.

"It's your family's landlord and his son, probably still at your home." Aunt Rong said softly.

But all these words were heard by Su Chen, whose abnormal hearing made it really difficult not to hear.

However, hearing Aunt Rong's words, Su Chen showed no extreme reaction.

From his perspective, he and He Li likely have no future, but now someone is proposing to He Li, which is good for her, rather than bad.

Therefore, Su Chen even entertained the idea of leaving, though he hadn't yet found an excuse.

The conversation between Aunt Rong and He Li continued: "Aunt Rong, when did this happen?"

He Li's brow furrowed suddenly, as if not very pleased with the matter, and even somewhat resistant.

"About an hour ago, so I mentioned they might not have left. If you go home now, you might run into them..." Aunt Rong's voice grew smaller until she didn't want to say more.

"Thank you, Aunt Rong. I will handle this matter."

"Yes, don't act impulsively. After all, your mom's illness just recovered, if..."

Aunt Rong glanced at Su Chen and stopped speaking, feeling she had reached her neighborly limit with He Li.

He Li's landlord, similarly her landlord, although that family was unpleasant in conduct, it was, after all, their territory.

To rent one's house means enduring their temperament and everything else.

Su Chen naturally detected the discontent in their conversation, growing curious about those people.

What kinds of persons were the landlord and his son visiting He Li's home like?

"Su Chen." He Li walked over toward Su Chen after separating from Aunt Rong.

"Hmm?" Su Chen responded after a moment of daze.

"Well, today might not be convenient at my home. How about you head back first?" He Li cautiously suggested.

She knew Su Chen was a very domineering person, not wanting to displease or oppose him.

However, she hadn't expected Su Chen to agree so readily today.

Su Chen smiled at her: "Sure, then I won't go today, I have something to attend to. I'll visit another day when convenient."

"Uh...alright, then I won't see you out. Outside... take care on your way back." A hint of gloom flashed in He Li's eyes.

Apparently, she held no presence in Su Chen's mind, who thoughtlessly accepted her words without question.

Not even asking why things weren't convenient.

If Su Chen questioned her, maybe she'd find an excuse, but since he didn't, her feelings slightly differed.

Su Chen turned away without a trace of reluctance.

He Li stood still for a long time, merely staring blankly in the direction Su Chen left, until a trace of disappointment appeared on her face, as she finally walked towards home.

Her home was still lit.

But her mother wasn't alone.

In the He Family.

Her mother, not yet fifty but with gray hair, struggled alone to handle two men.

Before her mother on the couch sat a bald man.

He seemed around fifty, bald, with a beer belly, exuding an oily middle-aged man's sleaze.

This man was Sun Fuxiang, the owner of He Mother's apartment and the surrounding residential area.

The house rented by the He Family was his.

Beside him stood a short youth with green-dyed hair.

His face dotted with marks and pockmarks, appearing quite unpleasant.

"Mr. Sun, we've paid the rent consistently these months, and you know I'm sick. The household relies solely on my daughter's job to cover medical expenses. We truly can't afford increased rent..." He Mother pleaded tearfully.
