"Young Master," the driver finally couldn't hold it in anymore, and asked what he wanted to ask just now, "Didn't you say that this jade pendant was lost long ago? But, why is it with Miss Su? "

Wen Heng raised his long and narrow eyes and looked at him, but did not directly answer. "Have you completed the task I gave you today?"

"…"

If it was in the past, wouldn't that little girl pounce on her young master when she saw him and ask for his recognition?

Only Miss Su rejected his young master's invitation.

The driver thought for a moment, then came up with the safest reason. "Young Master, Miss Su has been in the detention center for so long, and her eyes were blind for a period of time. Maybe it's because of this that Miss Su's eyes have a problem."

Everything his young master did was right.

A thousand wrongs could only be Miss Su's fault.

"Are you saying that in her eyes, I'm just a broken jujube?" The driver shook his head in alarm at the cold look in his eyes.

"No, no, no. You've misunderstood young master, that's not what I meant. I meant —"

Wenpeng did not want to continue listening to him, using his eyes to stop him. "Go back."

"Yes."

Not long after the car had driven away, Wenpeng seemed to recall something and instructed, "Send some people over tonight."

The driver instantly understood. "Yes."

"..."

Su Yannan had not expected his uncle to leave in such a manner.

It was the night Uncle brought her back to the small apartment and gave her a welcoming reception.

He had just made her a big table of her favorite dishes, and she was about to tell him what she was going to do.

Suddenly, his uncle began to cough heavily.

He coughed and gasped, but held on to her hand and wouldn't let her call an ambulance.

Uncle seemed to have something to say, but his face grew paler as he looked at her.

However, when she looked at her uncle's lips that were repeatedly moving, her mind buzzed so much that she couldn't hear a single sound.

After that, her uncle coughed up a large pool of blood.

The blood splattered on her pale face, but the warm liquid cooled her heart.

Her whole body began to stiffen, and by the time she realized what was happening, her uncle was already unconscious on the ground.

Trembling, she went to shake Uncle's cooling body. She cried and called out to him, until her throat went hoarse.

But Uncle never woke up.

He left her forever like this without a single farewell.

A stranger helped him with his affairs.

It was a young man in his twenties.

He claimed to be a neighbor who had just moved in, and he and his uncle were very old friends.

Su Yantou did not wish to verify his words, nor did he have the intention to do so.

Her uncle's accidental death had disrupted all her plans for the future.

In the plan, she was going to bring her uncle around for the rest of the year.

But her uncle had never told her that he was very ill.

It was the man who called himself "Uncle Forgotten" who had told her this.

His uncle, he said, had been suffering from advanced lung cancer and had spent all his savings during his stay in the hospital, but he was eventually persuaded to leave the hospital by a doctor.

Even so, her uncle was still dragging a severely injured body to bring her home.

Uncle left just like that.

This meant that she had no choice but to return to the home of her father, who had lost half his seat.
