A cold smile flashed past Murong Aotian's eyes: "I don't believe that you can abandon your own father!"
Su Wanbai's back stiffened and her eyes filled with despair and sorrow.
Her father had brought her up, and now she was fifty years old and in poor health, so she had to live in a strange place because of her daughter. Although he was smiling every day, only she, as his daughter, could feel his sadness and helplessness.
Murong Aotian looked deeply into Su Wanbai's eyes, and quickly put on her clothes and left.
Recently, had been worrying about the internal and external problems of the Murong Group and it was getting a bit out of hand for him. Nangong Family and Jin Family had secretly joined hands to seize the market share of Murong Group. Moreover, the few old fellows on the board of directors, who had been instigated by someone to oppose him every single day, were merely expressing their dissatisfaction towards Murong Aotian's arbitrariness. Although he had treated them both as soft and hard in private, there seemed to be an extremely powerful force supporting them, causing them to be even more audacious. Lately, they had been taking huge bribes from vendors right under his nose. Thinking about it, Murong Aotian's expression became even colder and more unfathomable. It seemed that once the time was ripe, killing an example was inevitable.
As he sat on the private jet, Murong Aotian frowned, and for the first time ever, he turned his head to look at Su Wanbai's residence.
The corner of Housekeeper Li's mouth raised slightly, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, you can actually bring Miss Su along."
Murong Aotian arrogantly snorted: "Bring her along? Is she worthy? "
The Housekeeper Li laughed but did not say a word, his eyes flashing.
The Young Master had promised Jin Family that in this lifetime, he would never fall in love with another woman, much less marry and give birth to children. If he brought Su Wanbai with him, he would be able to get news of Jin Family sooner or later. Then, the Young Master would very quickly be accused of betraying his word and wouldn't be able to stand up for himself in the business world in the future.
The plane moved away and disappeared into the night.
Su Wanbai hugged her knees on the bed. Her long hair covered half of her face, which was strangely blurry.
The clock on the wall ticked. Su Wanbai counted to 9,999, but she still did not feel the slightest bit sleepy. When would this kind of days where people were neither human nor ghost be the end? She had never hated someone so much before. This devilish man was even scarier than those who chased her. Those people only wanted her life, but this man made her feel worse than death.
In the east, the sky turned white, and the first rays of the morning sun finally began to shine through the windows.
Su Wanbai blinked her bloodshot eyes. Just as she was about to go wash up, the phone she bought yesterday rang.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Su Su Wanbai?" A soft male voice.
"You are …" Su Wanbai tried her best to search for this voice in her mind. It was very unfamiliar, it did not seem to be someone she knew. Besides, no one knew the number she had just applied for, except for her father.
"Hello, sister! I am Lady Mo Xinran's son, my name is Andy. I'm sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to ask if I can meet with you for a bit. " the man said.
"I don't know Mo Xinran, you called the wrong number." Su Wanbai's mind stopped for a few seconds, but he quickly realised what the man was planning.
"Please don't hang up! I have a few words to say. I'm in the advanced stages of gastric cancer, so I won't live for more than a few days. When Mom came back yesterday, she told me everything. "I didn't expect that I had an elder sister …" The other party was suddenly choked with sobs, unable to speak.
There was a hubbub of voices from the other end of the phone, as if the nurse had reminded him that it was time for chemotherapy.
"I'll see you at 3 PM at Mander's Coffee Shop!" After saying that, the other party hung up.
Su Wanbai frowned, she was from a different mother? Younger brother? Ultimate illness? Isn't she way too ungrateful!
But it doesn't sound like a lie.
Actually, she was also very curious, she and her mother looked very similar, if this Andy also looked like her mother, then it would be too strange. More importantly, he was still a half-breed. He really didn't expect that he had a mixed blood brother. Ever since she was young, she had dreamed of having a younger brother and a younger sister.
Su Wanbai stared at her pale and haggard face and her big black eye in the mirror and sighed helplessly.
She was lightly made up and had a thick foundation in her eyes, barely covering her tiredness.
At 2: 45, Su Wanbai arrived early at the agreed location, Mander's Coffee Shop.
The coffee shop echoed with the melodious sound of the piano. The warm sunlight flowed through the tiny cracks in the coffee shop. It was comfortable and long, filling up the space between heaven and earth.
Su Wanbai was stunned for a moment, as though she had come here before. Or perhaps, this kind of environment, this kind of smell, was something that she and Jin Yichen had experienced together.
Yes, they had only been to the coffee shop once, and it was the same simple design and decoration, except that she had asked for two glasses of plain water. At that time, Jin Yichen lovingly scratched her nose. Under the surprised gaze of the waiter, he placed a few hundred yuan bills on the table and told her to hurry up and bring the water over …
"Sister, over here!" Andy sat at a table in front of a window and waved his hand at Su Wanbai.
She couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice. She couldn't help but exclaim in her heart. It was said that a mixed blood child was beautiful, and it was true that seeing one wasn't as good as seeing one in a hundred different ways.
Her chestnut curls, slender eyebrows, high nose, and eyes as bright as blue diamonds could really be described as magnificent. Her beautiful thin lips curled up with a bit of arrogance. He was wearing a high-grade suit with a body that was not lacking in masculinity, and his arrogant look of not putting anyone in his eyes was particularly conspicuous amongst the crowd.
Su Wanbai sat opposite of Andy, a little nervous. She hadn't fully prepared herself for the sudden address of "Big Sister".
"Elder sister, you are so beautiful! If you weren't my sister, I would definitely chase you down at all costs! " Andy put on a mischievous smile and stared at Su Wanbai without blinking.
This bite of hers made Su Wanbai a little flustered. She picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to meet my mother for the time being. However, acknowledge me as your younger brother first! " Andy sat across from Su Wanbai and held her arm while he shook her.
Su Wanbai looked at Andy in shock. Ever since she was young, she had never seen a boy act like this towards her. But why did she feel warmth in her heart? Perhaps, this was blood ties. Just at this moment, she smiled slightly, and could be considered to have agreed to Andy's request.
"It's only a matter of time before you and my mother recognize each other. What is destined to happen is not …" Andy said.
"One yard, one yard. If you want to be a lobbyist, then leave now!" Su Wanbai's face turned cold, and wanted to take Andy's hand away from his arm.
"I was just saying." Andy lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
Andy was a very talkative person, he would chat for a long time even if it was his first time meeting Su Wanbai. His Chinese was very standard, and although he occasionally spoke a few English words, it did not affect his expression. He talked about his childhood anecdotes, about his rich love life, but not about his career as a student.
"Where are you going to school?" Su Wanbai asked.
"I... I've graduated. " Andy did not seem to be willing to bring up this topic, his warm eyes suddenly filled with dense mist, and even his face had become gloomy.
"Graduated? "Then where do you work?" Su Wanbai frowned and asked.
At this time, a bodyguard wearing black clothes and sunglasses walked over with large strides and whispered a few words into Andy's ear.
Andy's expression changed slightly. The gentle and playful look he had just had was swept away, and the current him, that seemed to be calm, had a gaze hidden underneath that was as sharp as an eagle's gaze.
Su Wanbai suddenly thought of the tigers that were pouncing towards their prey on the savanna, and immediately felt that his entire body was filled with danger.
"I have something to take care of. Let's talk later!" After Andy finished speaking, he quickly left.
Su Wanbai watched his retreating back and slowly started to worry for him.
When she got home, she still looked absent-minded. When Su’s father asked her, she told him about the meeting with Andy. A faint smile appeared on Su’s father's face. Seems like since his daughter accepted the mixed bloodline little brother, it was only a matter of time before she forgives Mo Xinran. Her life was short, and seeing her daughter and wife reunite was also his lifelong wish.
"Andy said that he had cancer." Su Wanbai said.
"Ah?" "Then what was his mental state when you saw him?" Su’s father put down the work in his hands and came over to ask.
"He looks normal, but the thought of him dying makes my heart hurt." When Su Wanbai thought about this, her eyes quickly became wet.
"You didn't mention his illness?" Su’s father asked.
"Nope." Su Wanbai said.
"Mm, that's good. Talk to him more often when there's nothing to do, and let him actively cooperate with the treatment. There might be hope. " Su’s father sighed and said.
At ten in the night, Su Wanbai called Andy many times but no one answered, nor replied him with a message.
Did something happen to him?
They had only met in the afternoon to listen to Andy's nonsense, how could they have forgotten to ask about his family's address? Although this little brother just accepted her, blood is thicker than water, how can she not care.
While he was flustered, Andy called.
"Elder sister, you missed me?" Andy's voice was slightly hoarse.
"You are now... Are you alright? " Su Wanbai didn't know what to say, and only after hesitating for a long time did she ask about this strange question.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Andy said.
She was probably overthinking it! Su Wanbai blamed herself, and just as she was about to hang up, a cold voice came from the other side of the phone. However, it sounded very similar to Mo Xinran's voice, and she could faintly hear some words like "wound", or "fracture".
The call suddenly ended. Su Wanbai put down her phone and frowned again.
