Chapter 514 Xiao Guo’er

“Is it too reckless by only relying on the inference when you have no evidence?”

Su Zhengnan was in a serious dilemma. He clearly knew that her daughter’s inference would never go wrong, but Su Xu was the grandson of his first brother Su Zhengdong and also one of the most outstanding figures in the fourth generation of the Su Family. He had no son, so he decided to choose either him or Su Chen as the future head of the family. The most important thing was that due to his daughter’s previous willfulness, Su Zhengdong lost the opportunity to get promoted, leaving the Su Family in an embarrassing situation in the political circle. Therefore, he had been feeling that he owed his first brother something.

In the third generation of the Su Family, no one but Su Ningxiang was an outstanding figure, but a woman was destined to have no right to take over the family head’s position.

From the emotional point of view, Ding Ning was much closer to him than Su Xu because he was his grandson, but taking the big picture into account, he knew that he was the head of the Su Family and had to think about the future of the Su Family.

“My inference can’t be wrong, Dad, I know you are in a dilemma, and you cherish the brotherly love and always think that you owe my first uncle’s family something.”

Su Ningxiang had already seen through his mind and argued emotionally, “But have you thought about this: he wanted to get promoted by sacrificing my happiness to build a marriage bond with the Zhao Family, and when he failed to achieve his goal, he then hated our family to the bones? Have they taken us seriously in the past years? You treat them as your family members, but do they treat you as their family member? We have never owed them anything. Instead, they owe us something.”

Su Zhengnan remained silent, and his expressions changed dramatically. “My daughter is right. Over the years, Su Zhengdong has been letting my daughter take the full blame for his failing to get promoted.

“By using my feeling that I owe him something, he usually ridicules me and also acts quite unruly in private to damage the profits of the family.

“Take Su Xu for example. Without getting me the family head’s permission, he even dared to blatantly embezzle part of the family’s property to set up Xuyang Group and use the power and human relationships of the Su Family to wantonly make money, attempting to stand up to Datang Group ruled by my daughter as equal and finally seize the financial power of the Su Family.

“If I had not felt I owed his family something and always pretended that I didn’t know anything, Su Xu would never have been so bold.

“Although Xuyang Group under the control of Su Xu is far from being comparable to Datang Group, his operation is so inappropriate, and he dares to make all kinds of money. Sooner or later, he will bring the Su Family great trouble.”

“Alas! I just tell myself you didn’t come.”

These thoughts flashed across Su Zhengnan’s mind. Finally, he sighed and closed his eyes.

Hearing the ambiguous answer, Su Ningxiang was a little disappointed. After a slight bow, she turned away and walked outside.

No matter what her father’s attitude was, Su Xu had trodden her forbidden area, so she would never spare him.

“Xiang’er, take care!”

Just before she walked out of the room, Su Zhengnan’s voice came softly.

“I see, dad!”

Su Ningxiang didn’t look back, but her mouth was slightly raised. She knew that her father was still partial to her, after all. This seemed to be an ordinary exhortation, but he was telling her that she would have to do it carefully and should not be found any traces by others.

In fact, her coming this time to ask her father to agree to her revenge was not the point, for she more wanted to test his attitude toward her son Ding Ning and know whether his grandson or Su Xu was more important in his heart.

If it was the other members of the Su Family, she did not want to care about their attitudes, but Su Zhengnan was her father and she could not ignore his attitude toward Ding Ning. Now, she had known the answer, which was a satisfying one for her, even more satisfying than his agreement on killing Su Xu.

After Su Ningxiang left, Su Zhengnan stood there silently for a long time before he shouted, “Guards!”

“Master!”

Four figures appeared silently in front of him and slightly bowed their heads, waiting for Su Zhengnan’s order.

Su Zhengnan’s eyes glinted with smartness, the powerful momentum came out of him, and he ordered emphatically, “You must have heard Xiang’er’s words. I know that you have been very dissatisfied with me over the years, but Xiang’er is my only daughter, and I don’t think that Aruna wants to see anything happen to her. In the future, you will be responsible for protecting her.

“Yes, master!”

The four figures looked at each other, with joy on their faces. After a unanimous response, they turned strangely on the spot and disappeared silently.

Su Zhengnan sighed and murmured with nostalgia in his eyes, “Xiang’er, that’s all I can do for you. This is the force your mother left you, and it’s time to give it to you.”

Outside the Su Family mansion, Su Ningxiang got in a Mercedes-Benz RV and said softly to a white-haired old lady meditating with her eyes closed sitting in the car, “Grandma Hua, act according to plan.”

“As you wish, Miss.”

The white-haired old lady looked at her, with kindness in her eyes. Against her style, she took out a mobile phone and dialed a number. “Act according to plan.”

Su Ningxiang looked slightly sideways at the white-haired old woman. “Grandma Hua, can you tell me about my mother? Who is she? Where is she from?”

“The master didn’t tell you, so as an old servant, I can’t tell you, either. Miss, you can ask the master in person later if there is a chance.”

Grandma Hua said with a smile and avoided this question routinely.

Su Ningxiang pursed her lips and said, “So mysterious! You’re really boring.”

“Haha, anyway, the master didn’t say it, so as an old servant, I don’t dare to gossip.”

Grandma Hua did not care about what she said and looked sadly at Su Ningxiang, sighing lightly in her mind, “I, Huaduo, did not fail to finish your exhortation, and the daughter of my miss has grown up. Time flies! I haven’t seen you for 40 years. Are you all right?”

In the Xiao Family, Xiao Yan, who woke up slowly and looked at the group of people in the room without any focus, did not instantly realize what had happened and asked with confusion, “What’s wrong with me? Where is this?”

“Awake, awake, Yan’er is finally awake! Amitabha, thank goodness, and thank God for his blessing!”

A middle-aged beautiful woman sitting at the head of the bed joined her palms before her and burst into tears in excitement. She was Wang Shuzhen, the mother of Xiao Yan.

“Yan’er’s wakeup is a happy thing, but what are you crying for? What bad luck!”

A middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s standing beside her scolded her majestically.

“Huh, I just can’t help crying with joy.”

Wang Shuzhen rolled her eyes, not feeling like arguing with him. As she wiped away her tears, she said smilingly, “Yan’er, this is our home. According to the doctor’s examination, your disease has been cured, and you are now healthy.”

“My disease?”

Xiao Yan murmured with confusion. Suddenly, the memory before the coma surged like a tide.

Ding Ning and Yan Hao competed for medical skills… Ding Ning chose her from the crowd… Later, later, her memory became vague. In the coma, she was not without any consciousness and seemed to hear all kinds of screams and running sounds of the crowd, but as for what happened, she could not remember anything.

Xiao Yan froze, quickly sat up, and asked anxiously, “Dad, mom, I remember that Ding Ning was treating me. Where is he? What happened later?”

“Sister, what happened later is wonderful. I really regret not going to the scene myself; otherwise, I would have been able to see Great Doctor Ding. I heard people say…”

Xiao Guo’er, Xiao Yan’s sister, was a quaint girl. Being only 20 years old this year, she was a source of joy for the Xiao Family.

With her vigorous eyes filled with admiration, she recounted what happened later excitedly.

Most people in the Xiao Family knew the general course of this matter, but were not clear about the specifics. Xiao Guo’er was a good talker, and they enjoyed her recount.

Xiao Yan became quite nervous. With Xiao Guo’er’s recount, her mood got a rollercoaster ride, and later…

So many things even happened. Ding Ning was even shot by a man hired by Zhao Zifeng, and then her last trace of love of Zhao Zifeng disappeared. She felt him quite disgusting.

“Ding Ning, he… Is he all right? Was he wounded? Where is he now?”

Xiao Yan, who tried to keep patient, heard Xiao Guo’er finish her story, then she sat up emotionally, and couldn’t wait to ask, looking like she wanted to go and see him immediately.

Everyone instantly became silent and looked at Xiao Baiyi strangely.

Xiao Baiyi’s face turned cold, and he snorted coldly. “What could happen to him? You should take a good rest, and don’t go anywhere.”

After finishing his words, he turned around and walked away, and the Xiao Family members looked at his back with different expressions.

No one in the Xiao Family didn’t know that the family head Xiao Baiyi had been hoping to build a marriage bond with the Zhao Family, so he had been working to match Xiao Yan and Zhao Zifeng.

But last night, Zhao Zifeng ignored Xiao Yan’s life and death and even asked someone to snipe at Ding Ning who was treating her. That gunshot was like a loud slap in Xiao Baiyi’s face, which gave him a burning pain with shame.

Now, Zhao Zifeng had been arrested, and it was hard to tell if he could be released in this life. Thus, he could not think about building a marriage bond with the Zhao Family anymore. No wonder Xiao Baiyi was unhappy.

People knew what Xiao Yan’s expression suggested: She liked Ding Ning, obviously. If Ding Ning was an ordinary person, that was not a big deal. Although marrying his daughter to a miracle-working doctor was a little insult to the Xiao Family for Xiao Baiyi, it was still acceptable.

But Ding Ning was Xiao Nuo’s boyfriend and would be Xiao Yan’s future brother-in-law. If the news that the two cousins fell in love with the same person was spread, the Xiao Family and Xiao Baiyi would be ashamed, but the Xiao Family could not lose face like this, so he immediately grounded Xiao Yan.

Everyone chatted with the absent-minded Xiao Yan again for some time and then left, only leaving Xiao Guo’er in her company.

Seeing Xiao Yan’s demented appearance, quick-witted Xiao Guo’er turned her big eyes. “Sister, you like Great Doctor Ding, right?”

“You… What are you talking about? I just met him yesterday.”

After her mind was seen through, Xiao Yan blushed slightly and denied it.

Xiao Guo’er stuck out her tongue mischievously and made a face. “Huh, sister, don’t try to lie to me. Anyone can see that you care about him very much.”

“What? Is it so obvious?”

Xiao Yan was startled and asked instantly, but then she realized that she had made a mistake and then made a remedy instantly, “He is my lifesaver, and it’s normal for me to care about him! Without him, I would die soon.”

“Well, your expression obviously shows that your concern is beyond an ordinary friend’s. I’m your sister. Do you even want to hide it from me?”

Xiao Guo’er pouted, looking quite unhappy.

Xiao Yan bit her lower lip. “Don’t think too much. I just thank him for saving me. Besides, it’s impossible for him and me to form a relationship.”

“Why impossible? Are you afraid that our parents don’t agree? Don’t be afraid. I’ll go and persuade them. He saved your life! I can make our parents agree.”

Xiao Guo’er patted her small chest and promised. In their family, she was the youngest daughter and also their parents’ favorite.

“Well, nothing is like that. I just extend my gratitude to him. It’s impossible for me to have a relationship with him. Besides, even if I like him, it’s useless because he won’t like me.”

Xiao Yan said a little sadly.

“Why not? Sister, you are so beautiful, and it’s impossible for a man to dislike you.”

Xiao Guo’er said ignorantly. It was like the situation that a mother would not dislike her ugly son. She always thought that the sister who loved her most was the most beautiful woman.

“No that, he… He is your Sister Nuo’s boyfriend.”

Xiao Yan sighed and could not help having the sadness of pitying herself, and her eyebrows even looked sad.
