Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 650: Revised - 361 Advanced Study (Five in One)

Su Ming slightly sorted out his thoughts, then closed the door again and went back to bed to rest.

....

The next morning.

On the observation deck, Su Ming sat leisurely at the side of the leisure table, eating morning tea, and looking at the distant scenery.

He silently calculated the money in his hands.

Actually, if he only wanted to live a stable life, this money would be more than enough for his lifetime.

But there is an old saying that fits well, "Man aspires high, water flows low."

If he wants to continue climbing upwards, then managing these funds correctly will just be the stepping stone he needs.

Still, you cannot underestimate this stepping stone, as another saying goes, "Quick step, quick progress."

At this moment, a noble lady suddenly walked over. She was wearing a red silk long dress, her skin fair and smooth, adorned with a colorful pearl necklace, radiating extraordinary elegance. Although time had left slight traces on her face, with faint crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes, it added a certain charm.

"Su Ming."

The noble lady spoke softly.

Su Ming’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted, turning his head to look at the noble lady.

He was slightly taken aback; this noble lady looked familiar, but at the moment, he couldn’t recall her identity.

"Who are you?"

"I am Su Yuan’s mother, Wang Yingyue."

Wang Yingyue smiled.

"Auntie, please sit!"

Su Ming hurriedly stood up and said politely.

"No need to be so polite."

"Auntie, what brings you here?"

"I heard you and Su Yuan are attending a training together, but he left late last night. Seeing you’re still here, I wanted to ask if he indeed went for the training?"

Wang Yingyue’s beautiful eyes revealed a bit of worry.

Hearing her words, Su Ming quickly understood and hurriedly covered for Su Yuan.

"Yes, he went for the training. Initially, I planned to go with him, but my mecha isn’t fully repaired yet, so I had to delay my journey."

"Good to hear. That child has always been troubling since young. Although he’s grown up now, as a mother, I still worry."

Wang Yingyue felt somewhat relieved after hearing Su Ming’s words.

"I understand. By the way, Auntie, can I ask you a question?"

An uncertain question suddenly crossed Su Ming’s mind.

"Sure, ask away."

Wang Yingyue smiled gently.

"Why didn’t I see Uncle at Su Yuan’s promotion banquet?" frёewebηovel.cѳm

Su Ming asked curiously.

Normally, for such an event as a son’s promotion, the father would take leave if possible to attend.

Upon hearing Su Ming’s question, a faint sorrow appeared in Wang Yingyue’s beautiful eyes, and she explained slowly.

"Su Yuan’s father sacrificed himself when he was ten years old."

"I’m sorry for bringing up bad memories."

Su Ming apologized immediately upon hearing this.

"It’s alright, many years have passed, and I’ve come to terms with it. Yet, since my husband’s passing, all family expectations fell on Su Yuan. He carries too much pressure, hence his rebellious nature."

"Isn’t there Su Yao, the elder cousin sister?"

"Su Yao is a girl after all; eventually, she will marry out. I can’t keep her in the family, alone all her life. This family will ultimately need Su Yuan to support it."

Wang Yingyue shook her head and sighed.

In fact, she also wished Su Yao were a boy; after all, she is much more outstanding than Su Yuan, but unfortunately, she isn’t.

"I understand."

Su Ming agreed.

"Sorry to bother you with such depressing topics early in the morning."

Wang Yingyue apologized with some embarrassment.

"It’s alright, we’re family."

"I won’t disturb your meal then."

"Okay."

Su Ming replied politely.

Wang Yingyue then turned and left. Su Ming watched her departing figure, lost in thought.

At this moment, Su Yuan and Zhao Ning walked over from the other side.

"Son!"

Su Yuan called out.

"Father, Mother. You’re awake. Haven’t had breakfast yet, right? Let’s eat together."

Su Ming responded with a smile.

"Alright!"

Su Yuan and Zhao Ning then sat opposite Su Ming, eating breakfast somewhat listlessly.

Seeing Su Yuan looking a bit dispirited, Su Ming asked out of curiosity.

"Father, haven’t you been resting well lately? Your spirit seems low."

"Oh, just couldn’t sleep."

Su Yuan sighed.

"Couldn’t sleep? Is something wrong?"

"No, just feeling uncomfortable staying here! Not that they’re unkind, on the contrary, they are too kind, everyone here treats us extremely warmly."

"I see."

"Son, your mother and I have discussed and decided to return to the Thirteenth District. No matter how nice a golden or silver nest is, it’s not as good as our own humble abode. To put it bluntly, we are wild boars that can’t handle eating fine grains, and the business back in the Thirteenth District needs our attention."

"I understand, I’m the same as you! So, when are you planning to leave?"

Su Ming replied wryly.

"We will say our goodbyes to your grandfather and great-grandfather later and then leave."

Zhao Ning sighed and told Su Ming.

Actually, she could adapt to life here, but Su Yuan simply couldn’t. So, for her husband’s sake, she decided to return to the Thirteenth District too.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming lifted his wristband and directly transferred ten billion Federation Coins to Su Yuan’s bank account.

Su Yuan noticed the bank notification on his phone and was momentarily stunned before speaking to Su Ming.

"Son, why did you transfer so much money to us?"

"It’s a gift for you both."

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Son, there’s no need. Your mother and I can’t spend all that money. You need funds right now, keep it for yourself."
