Chapter 349: Chapter 358: Su Hai is Betrayed
“Are you catching a cold?” Su Yun asked with concern.
“No! I guess Dad is cursing at again!”
Mr. Su’s temper also flared up, “I don’t care whether Ningning is my granddaughter or not, I’ve accepted her!” He liked the girl as soon as he saw her, and she resembled his late wife so much, she just had to be part of the Su Family.
“Even if she were to be an adopted granddaughter, that would be fine too!”
“Dad, if you want to take her as your adopted granddaughter, she has to agree to it as well. I see that girl is quite stubborn; she might not consent.”
“We, the Su Family, can give her anything she wants.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Su Jiang said seriously, thinking of that girl’s determined gaze, he shook his head and continued, “Sheng Ning is ambitious and idealistic; what we can offer might not be sothing she can’t achieve on her own.”
Mr. Su’s expression grew even darker. The second and youngest were disappointing enough, now the eldest was beginning to undermine him too?
Su Huai’an desperately made eye signals to his father. Dad! Please, appease Grandpa first and then speak. In fact, what he really wanted to tell Grandpa was that if Sheng Ning weren’t their aunt’s daughter, he could marry her and bring her into the family himself!
That way, she would beco part of their family too!
But the gentlemanly and graceful Su Huai’an couldn’t bring himself to say sothing so brazen.
“This isn’t good, that isn’t good – what use are you to ?” the old man exploded, “Family eting is over! All of you get out, seeing you just annoys .”
“Then, Dad, you should rest early.” Su Jiang got up, called the servant to take care of the old man, and since he had upset his father, he better not linger around.
Su Jiang went upstairs to his study and made a phone call directly.
“Hello, help investigate soone. From the General Union, nad Sheng Ning. Yes! I want a thorough investigation. Alright, notify the mont there are results.” After finishing the call, Su Jiang leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
War Wolf Rescue Team
Xu Qigang lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The room and the inside of the blankets were filled with Sheng Ning’s unique fragrance. He could even hear her steady breathing when he closed his eyes.
He had fallen under the spell of that girl.
At dinner in the canteen, Chen Yingjie had detailed to him how the young girl had behaved during the al at their house. Her performance had pleased him greatly.
But the abnormal behavior of the Su Family and the Hai Family made him alert.
Chen Yingjie reassured him, saying he was overthinking it. His sister-in-law’s cooking was exceptionally delicious; it was normal for people to want to co over for a al.
But Xu Qigang didn’t really think so. It was normal for the amiable and retired old leaders to do so, but for Su Jiang to be involved was too strange!
He flew in from the Southern District just for a free al?
That clearly wasn’t sothing Su Jiang would do.
He was well aware of the old leader’s way of doing things. He would never do anything aningless; if it wasn’t for so purpose, he wouldn’t even visit anyone’s ho this ti.
Why hadn’t he visited the ng Family, the Hai Family, or the Shen Family for a al? Why did he specifically go to the Chen Family?
Looks like he had to make another trip to the General Union tomorrow, knowing the old leader was there; it would be rude not to pay a visit.
Xu Qigang massaged his temples, feeling a headache. Since he couldn’t sleep anyway, he might as well get up and stretch his muscles.
Tonight, it was that kid Li Duoxi’s turn to be on duty; ti to let him experience the latest version of a ghost’s wails and a wolf’s howls.
In the guardhouse, the cold wind whistled sharply, as piercing as a whistle. Li Duoxi, wrapped in a thick coat, bundled himself up tightly.
