The father and daughter reunited after a long time, so naturally they had a lot to say.
Su Wanbai still had some lingering fear in her heart at her father's kidnapping. She wanted him to stay in S City. His father was not in good health anyway, so she had planned to retire early anyway. She still had to finish her studies and would not be able to return to M City with her father for a short period of time. If he agreed, it would be much easier for her to take care of him in the future.
His father hesitated, and his eyes darkened.
His observation skills were always astounding, the kidnapping was orchestrated by his brother Su Huageng, he had long noticed this. A huge black net seemed to wrap tightly around him. His little brother was someone who would use any means possible to gain benefits. The only person beside him who could cause his little brother to have intentions was his daughter, Su Wanbai. This time, his daughter had mysteriously disappeared for several days and refused to tell her the truth. But her daughter had always had a straight mind, and since she couldn't say it out loud, there must be a reason for it. It was a good thing that he felt a little better when he saw his daughter alive and kicking in front of him.
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Su Wanbai held his father's arm and gently shook it a few times.
"I think I'll stay with your uncle for a while. Although he is bankrupt, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If I open my mouth, he will definitely agree. " Dad said.
In fact, his thoughts were very simple. He grew up with his younger brother, so how could he not understand? Beside him, there would always be a chance to investigate everything. If he really wanted to plot against his daughter, he, as her father, would do everything in his power to protect her.
"Still don't want it? It would be nice if we could rent a smaller house on the outskirts of the city. Why should we have to live under someone else's roof? " Su Wanbai did not understand.
As the two of them were talking, their father's cell phone rang.
It was really Cao Cao Cao, the caller was Su Huageng.
"Bro, I heard that you're in S City, why didn't you contact me?" Su Huageng's hollow laugh came over, it was extremely hypocritical and intentional.
"I've been calling you ever since I got here, but you never took it. I had to send you a text yesterday, but you only saw it now? " Su Huali's face darkened.
"Who knew you changed accounts?" If it was your original number, how could I not have answered it? " Su Huageng was getting serious.
Su Huali was stunned, he had indeed lost his phone after coming to S City, so he could only buy a new one. In the past, he had often received all sorts of obnoxious calls, so he simply changed his number.
His brother was in debt, so it was understandable that he didn't accept the number. How could he blame him?
"I did change the number." Su Huali said.
"Since you have come to City S, you should stay for a few more days before leaving. Come to my house. "Where are you right now? I'll pick you up right away." Su Huageng said.
"Crown Hotel!" Su Huali said.
It seemed that father had made up his mind. Su Wanbai didn't understand why her father insisted on going to his uncle's house, but seeing that he seemed to want to say something, Su Wanbai didn't want to ask until the end. No matter what, they were blood brothers. It was not reasonable for them to come to S city to stay and kiss their younger brother's family. Thus, it was better for them to just let him go.
Su Wanbai helped her father pack her luggage, then went to the front desk to check out.
"3505 is Chairman Murong's regular room here, you don't need to pay." The receptionist's voice was gentle and sweet.
"Oh." Su Wanbai replied softly.
"Are you Chairman Murong's girlfriend?" the front desk girl whispered.
"Oh, no, I'm just his... "Ordinary friends." Originally, she didn't have the obligation to answer this question, but after seeing the infatuated look on the receptionist's face, she couldn't bear to disappoint her.
"So it's like that." The front desk clerk laughed until lines appeared in the corners of her eyes.
Although Murong Aotian was detestable, he still looked pretty good. It was understandable for him to be the dream lover of millions of girls. However, this kind of man was better to look at from a distance. At least he had some beautiful fantasies. As soon as she got close to him, the true face of the Hell's Shura would be exposed to the sun, and the thought of that shameful night made her shiver.
Su Huageng lived in a single apartment on the south side of the city. It was a little old now, but the style of the buildings looked very old-fashioned, so he could tell that they were expensive. Su Wanbai looked up and the corner of his mouth lifted into a mocking smile. Dad was right. A skinny camel that was bigger than a horse could afford to live in such a good house even though it was bankrupt!
Uncle stood at the door with his family, waiting for them. His face was like a flower.
"Greetings, uncle!"
"Hello, Uncle!"
Aunt Xin Xiaomei, her two female cousins Su Muyan and Su Muqian stood in a row behind Su Huageng, looking humble and obedient.
"Long time no see. The two children have both grown up!" Looking at his two nieces, Su Huali revealed a rare look of warmth.
Su Huageng called his brother and niece in, and the two younger cousins rushed over and pulled Su Wanbai in.
Why didn't I see Mu Hao? Su Wanbai asked.
Su Huageng had gotten her son in his middle years, so this belated child was like a piece of meat to him. He held it in his hands, afraid of losing it in his mouth. Thinking about it, she was eight years old this year. In her uncle's family, Su Wanbai had the best impression of this little cousin. He was young, innocent and cute, and would always stick close to Su Wanbai whenever she saw her. The two of them were very close, as if they had known each other in her previous life. What happened this time? The first person to rush in front of her should be him, so why was she nowhere to be seen now?
"He went to the golf course to practice!" Su Muqian blurted out.
Su Muqian's voice was not loud, but everyone was stunned still in place when they heard her words. Time seemed to have frozen, and everyone's movements were frozen.
Everyone knew that golf was an aristocratic sport. How could Su Huageng, a bankrupt pauper, not have enough money to make others suspicious?
"Hua Geng, you've had a good life! You're broke, and you still have money to spare for your son to learn golf? " Su Huali turned his head, his face full of ridicule.
"Well, he just went to the golf course and came back in a minute." Su Huageng was a little embarrassed, he fiercely glared at his second daughter. This silly child doesn't even think when he speaks. He had been acting in love for so long that she destroyed everything in a single sentence.
"Play what?" "You spent hundreds of thousands to learn golf for him, yet you're not even willing to pay for my skincare products. You're really …" The more Su Muqian thought about it, the more wronged she became. She knew that her father wouldn't do anything to her in front of her uncle, so she simply talked about it by herself.
"Pah!" A resounding slap landed on Su Muqian's face. It was Aunt Xin Xiaomei who did the slapping.
"What are you talking about in front of your uncle? You damned girl, it's really been three days since you last fought your way up to the roof. When did you ever see Mu Hao studying golf, or did you ever see your father spend hundreds of thousands of dollars? Our family is so poor now, you know? " Xin Xiaomei gritted her teeth and cursed at her daughter.
Su Muqian started to cry loudly. She left a room full of people and ran upstairs by herself.
Su Wanbai originally wanted to mock her uncle, but seeing the situation, she could only swallow her words.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Su Huali laughed dryly a few times, then led his brother to the sofa and sat down. He instructed the servant to prepare some tea.
Su Wanbai sat on the side of the seat, and Su Muyan, who was always silent, lightly touched Su Wanbai's arm when she saw her mother's expression.
"Sis, I heard you became Murong Aotian's girlfriend?" Su Muyan asked softly.
"Who told you that?" A cold glint flashed past Su Wanbai's eyes. She hated others from mentioning this name.
"This... Just say it, right? " Su Muyan did not plan to give up.
"No!" Su Wanbai seemed to have squeezed out these two words from the gaps between her teeth. She turned her head away, looking like she didn't want to talk with Su Muyan anymore.
Truly, good things never go out, while bad things spread far and wide. She really admired her uncle's speed in spreading the news. The matter of her betraying her first night for her father was not something that could be exposed in public. How could he so easily tell her aunt and cousin? Auntie was a well-known long-tongued woman, and the news would probably spread to every corner of S City. Thinking about this, she couldn't help but bitterly smile. So be it, she had already decided to leave the people she cared about the most. So what if the whole world was scolding her?
"Bro, you're really awesome now. There are so many bodyguards waiting outside!" Su Huageng said with a fake smile.
Su Huali did not answer, because he did not know where these bodyguards came from.
Su Huageng raised his teacup and took a sip of tea. He could not help but cough a few times. He turned back to look at his wife, Su Xiaomei, indicating that she should find a topic to discuss.
"Wanbai is now in her third year of university, and will soon graduate. After graduation, should we stay in City S or go back to City M.? " Su Xiaomei asked.
"M City." Su Wanbai said lightly.
"S city is still a big city after all. What good prospects do we have for going back to a small place like M city?" "I feel like …" Su Xiaomei planned to talk about Su Wanbai's future.
At this time, a servant walked in, saying that there was a Mister Jin outside looking for Miss Wanbai.
Su Wanbai immediately stood up and left the room.
This Jin Yichen is really attached to his, it has only been half a day since they last met, how did he come here? She originally wanted to just sit down and leave, but why couldn't she just stay in the hospital and wait for her?
Seeing Su Wanbai coming out with a cold face, Jin Yichen's smile froze.
He pushed a suitcase in front of Su Wanbai, "I went to school to find someone to help you pack your luggage. You can stay at your uncle's house without worry, call me whenever you need anything. "Oh, yeah, I can't hear you. Just text me."
Su Wanbai's expression eased up, and she raised the corner of her mouth, using an exaggerated mouthpart to say thank you.
Jin Yichen laughed like a child. He walked a few steps forward, wanting to grab Su Wanbai's hand. Unconsciously, she backed away and lowered her head in embarrassment.
