Chapter 1542: Chapter 1618: This Was No Accident
“How could this happen?” Housekeeper Xing came up as Sheng Ning got out of the car, asking while continuing to walk. “How could such an accident happen?”
“This isn’t an accident.”
Sheng Ning suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking at Housekeeper Xing in disbelief, “Explain yourself clearly.”
“Mr. Su has been in the terminal stage of cancer for a while now…” It’s been like having a guillotine hanging over his head, constantly fearing it’s going to fall. Now that it’s finally happened, it’s a relief for him.”
Sheng Ning felt a wave of confusion inside, thinking of her suddenly deceased grandfather. Clearly, he was in good health just moments before, but was hospitalized due to Su Yun, and once he was admitted, he never stood up again.
From start to finish, it was all so rushed. She wasn’t mentally prepared to face the blow of her grandfather’s passing.
“Miss Sheng Ning, don’t be sad. For Mr. Su, this is liberation.”
Sheng Ning sniffled, trying hard not to cry. She knew birth, old age, sickness, and death were natural, but she just couldn’t accept it.
“Why wasn’t I informed earlier?”
“No one knew.” Housekeeper Xing bitterly smiled, “If the Feng Family knew Mr. Su had died, they’d be delighted and would fight even harder.
“Damn, it’s truly a sick family.” She couldn’t help but curse under her breath, “What should I do?”
“After Mr. Su’s passing, kick out anyone you can’t stand.”
She gritted her teeth and said without hesitation, “Okay! Rest assured! I won’t be soft-hearted.” If she were soft-hearted with such a sick family, she’d be asking for trouble.
If you don’t devour others, you’ll be devoured until not even crumbs are left.
“Where’s Mr. Su?” Housekeeper Xing had informed Su Hai but hadn’t seen him yet. He thought the two were together, so he asked casually.
“He’s helping me look after the children.” Lately, she’s been feeling uneasy, even though she was confident against Feng Xintong, she still felt unsettled. So, she had her uncle go to the seaside villa with Gu Yunbo to look after the children.
“Then…”
“Let’s go see Uncle Su first.”
“Yes, this way, please.”
The two entered the hall, filled with so many people, all wearing sorrowful expressions, but Sheng Ning could clearly see their joy and delight. Their eye interactions and small gestures couldn’t fool anyone.
“Miss Sheng Ning, you’re here.”
“Grandpa is waiting for you, hurry up and go!”
Everyone greeted Sheng Ning warmly as she entered.
With the change of leadership, Grandpa has been the Family Head for over half a century. In his presence, none of them dare do anything rash.
With Sheng Ning, it will be far easier to manipulate, doing as they please.
Moreover, with Sheng Ning like this, her position as Family Head might not be stable.
“Where’s Feng Xintong?” Sheng Ning scanned the room, not spotting Feng Xintong, she frowned and looked at Housekeeper Xing.
“Where is she?”
“In… in Mr. Su’s room.” Housekeeper Xing answered embarrassedly.
Only the next Family Head is entitled to see Mr. Su for the last time, yet Feng Xintong was let in. Regardless of whether Miss Sheng Ning takes it to heart, others will undoubtedly mock her behind her back.
This is very unfavorable for her inheriting the Feng Family.
“Who let her in?” Sheng Ning shouted sternly, “Who allowed her in?” She believed Uncle Su, no matter how much he liked testing her, would never add trouble for her when he’s about to pass.
Feng Xintong going in was definitely not Uncle Su’s wish.
