Chapter 241: Chapter 245: Visiting as a Guest Chapter 241: Chapter 245: Visiting as a Guest âYingzi, is this your friend?â a tall, thin comrade asked with a smile.
âExactly! I invited them to come play at my house!â
âWell, letâs register them!â Itâs easy to talk to an acquaintance, and after taking out a notebook to sign them in, the group was smoothly let through.
Before they could even enter, a shiny black sedan got the priority to drive in. From a distance, the comrades were already standing solemnly to greet the approaching vehicle.
Thinking that this place was frequented by important figures, the group also immediately stood by the roadside to greet them.
As the red-flag sedan passed in front of the six people, it slowly came to a stop, and the window rolled down to reveal Su Haiâs handsome and elegant face.
Sheng Ningâs face turned greenâwhy did she bump into him no matter where she went? Was she cursed?
âUncle Su!â Chen Huaying moved quickly, greeting him respectfully.
âInviting friends over to play?â
âYes!â Chen Huaying was as docile as a little white rabbit; ever since she was little, she wasnât afraid of heaven or earth, just afraid of this uncle from the Su Family, a truly cunning person among the cunning.
He could sell you out, and youâd still help him count the money!
âYour parents arenât home, whatâs so fun about that?â
Chen Huaying scratched her head, stammering a bit, âMy grandpa is home.â
âYouâre planning to play with your grandpa?â Su Haiâs voice sounded chilling, causing the others to shiver unanimously.
âUncle Su, you really have a sense of humor⊠hahaâŠâ Chen Huaying scratched her head, her smile stiffening.
âUncle Su, shall we go inside first?â Always blocking the entrance wasnât a solution either!
âWhy donât you bunch of kids stop causing trouble while the adults are away and just come to our house!â Su Hai nodded, quite pleased with his decision.
âOkay!â Chen Huaying agreed instantly, a stark contrast to her previous deathly reluctance.
Su Hai smiled and gestured for his car to go ahead into the compound.
As the six of them entered the gate, Sheng Ning spoke unhappily, âChen Huaying, why did you agree?â She wanted to stay as far away from Su Hai as possible.
âAre you crazy? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.â Chen Huaying rubbed her hands excitedly, speaking softly, âOur compound is home to so many leaders itâs frightening, but the most resources are with the Su Family. Su Hai is the youngest head of the Inspection Department; my grandpa says his future is limitless. And thereâs also Su Huaiâan from their family, a university professor who graduated and returned from Xilin University in M Country.â
In those times, there were very few noble families allowed to send someone abroad, and Su Huaiâan was one such special existence. He wasnât like Meng Fan, let alone Meng Ping.
He stood independent from the circles, yet everyone knew of his prestigious name. He appeared low-key, but everything he did was not something ordinary people could achieve.
Chen Huaying had been secretly admiring Su Huaiâan in her heart since she was young.
âI donât want to have any involvement with them, let alone cling to anyoneâs coattails.â Sheng Ningâs eyes drooped slightly, a hint of tears sparkling within.
Liu Yilan looked on, perplexed. Why did Sheng Ning seem so averse to the Su Family?
âNever mind that! Letâs go to my place first, and after weâve eaten, weâll go see Old Sir Su.â Having agreed not to visit, she didnât have the guts to back out now, unless she didnât want to get ahead in life.
Since they couldnât not go, they might as well minimize the time spent.
The compound was vast, with standalone villas, each front yard adorned with flowers, plants, or some common vegetables.
âWow! This place is so big, so beautiful,â Zhang Hongmei was spellbound, âItâs like our countryside, except thereâs no mud on the ground!â
