Chapter 383: Chapter 393: Tender and Affectionate
âDabao, what are you saying?â Mr. Suâs voice was nearly unmelodic, like something sharp scraping against glass.
It made the listenerâs heart tremble.
âA bracelet!â Lu Dabao, whose nerves were quite rough, didnât notice anything amiss. He pointed at the bracelet on the womanâs wrist in the oil painting, âThis bracelet is exactly like Sheng Ningâs, itâs still the one I got with Chen Huaying fromâŠâ
He couldnât finish his sentence as Chen Huaying quickly covered his mouth.

After the assistant had brought Chen Huaying and Lu Dabao inside, Sheng Ning stood alone in the cold wind. The winter in the north was just too harsh; she had only stood there for a moment and her whole body was shivering from the cold.
She wanted to move around, but her heart wasnât in it.
Oh! If only Living Yama were here, she wouldnât feel so panicked.
âEh? Why is she here?â A familiar voice came from behind; Sheng Ning turned around just in time to see Hai Lan and Meng Ping getting out of the car side by side.
âSheng Ning?â Meng Ping originally looked listless, but his eyes suddenly lit up with surprise when he heard Hai Lan.
âWhy do I run into you everywhere? Didnât you say you didnât like Meng Ping? Why are you following him to his grandfatherâs house?â Hai Lan approached Sheng Ning, her sharp eyes filled with thick hostility and disdain.
âHai Lan, shut your mouth!â Meng Ping glared fiercely at Hai Lan, frightening her into taking a step back, her face showing a hurt expression.
âMeng Ping, youâre being so harsh to me for this worthless country bumpkin?â
âKeep your mouth shut!â Meng Ping said irritably. He had no energy to coddle Hai Lan. Heaven knows how busy he had been recently. The once carefree playboy was now trying to start a business from scratch, and he barely had time to sleep.
Today, if his dad hadnât told him that his grandpa was unwell and ordered him to go see him, he definitely wouldnât have come to visit; coincidentally, he ran into Hai Lan slipping out of the General Union and they came together.
He just never expected to encounter Sheng Ning at the entrance to his grandfatherâs house.
âWhat are you doing here? Is something the matter? Tell me, I can definitely solve it for you.â Meng Ping stood in front of Sheng Ning, slightly bowing his head, his handsome face looking somewhat tender and affectionate.
Sheng Ning smiled, a smile void of any warmth. She would never again be as foolish and naive as she had been in her past life, deceived by his appearance.
âItâs nothing!â she said coldly, then stepped aside to let them pass.
âMeng Ping, why bother with her? Letâs go in. Weâll have the assistant kick out the irrelevant people. Does she really think anyone can walk into the General Union Courtyard?â Seeing her beloved Meng Ping treating Sheng Ning so kindly, Hai Lan lost her rationality out of anger.
Sheng Ning coldly chuckled, âIâm here on a mission to deliver warmth. Iâll leave immediately after itâs done.â She hadnât even entered the Su familyâs door! The ordeals of her past life were already beginning to surface. Who knew what would happen if she actually went inside?
It was said that the Su family and the Hai family got along well, the old gentlemen having been good friends since their youth. Being Elder Haiâs favorite granddaughter, Hai Lan had considerable sway in the Su family.
âWhat? A mission to deliver warmth?â Hai Lan shrieked, âWhy? What right do you have to be assigned to deliver warmth to the General Union Courtyard?â
