Chapter 385: Chapter 395 Your Granddaughter is Not Me
âWhatâs wrong?â Sheng Ning looked behind her, only to find that Lu Dabao was nowhere to be seen. âWhereâs Dabao? Isnât she coming with us?â
âGrandpa Su asked her to stay and mop the floor!â Chen Huayingâs gaze was fixed on Sheng Ning, filled with countless doubts and surprisesâŠ
âThen⊠what do we do? Do we leave now?â Sheng Ning always remembered the task assigned by the organization; she really felt sorry to leave Lu Dabao behind to mop the floor all by herself.
âSheng Ning!â Su Huaiâan pushed Meng Ping aside and stood face to face with her, his deep eyes drowning her in gentleness when he looked at her.
âWhat are you doing?â Sheng Ning instinctively hid behind Chen Huaying for a moment, and upon realizing her actions, felt somewhat annoyed.
What was there to be afraid of? She hadnât done anything wrong. If anything, it was the Su Family who had wronged her, and Meng Ping owed her even more.
âGrandpa wants to invite you in for a visit, would you like to?â Su Huaiâanâs voice was very soft, as if he was treading on eggshells. It was as though he was speaking to a butterfly, which might be scared away with just a slightly heavier tone.
Meng Ping didnât speak, instead, stroking his chin in a way that showed he was quite intrigued.
After the recent incident, Hai Lan too had become smarter. She clenched her teeth, trying to understand what Su Huaiâan was really up to.
âI canât simply enter the Su Familyâs house, Chen Huaying, letâs go!â With that, she tried to pull Chen Huaying away, but the latter stood still, eyebrow twitching.
âSheng Ning!â Chen Huaying called out her name sternly, âI think you should go in and have a look!â
âWhat for?â Sheng Ning asked, puzzled. It was only now that she realized that Chen Huaying, who always stood up for what was right and was known for her straightforwardness, hadnât said a single word since they came out.
âJust go in and youâll see!â Chen Huayingâs expression was strange, still appearing incredulous.
âRight!â Su Huaiâan agreed, âHow would you know if you donât go in? Besides, this is your task, and you should remember that your task to deliver warmth hasnât ended yet.â
Sheng Ning wanted to be a good worker, a qualified worker, an outstanding worker. She aimed to do her best in every task given to her, even if it was just to deliver warmth.
Indeed, she should not let her personal feelings interfere with her normal work and studies.
âAlright!â
âThis way, please.â Su Huaiâan made a gentlemanly inviting gesture, which clearly showed the polish of his studies abroad.
It was then that everyone was surprised to see that Su Huaiâan had only put on a thin cashmere sweater despite the sub-zero temperatures outside, yet he hadnât even frowned after standing for so long.
Meng Ping snorted disdainfully. So he wasnât the weak scholar everyone thought he was. No wonder his father and brother esteemed him so highly.
The Su Family were just hypocrites.
The Su Familyâs living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Lu Dabao sat on the couch, nervously biting her nails. Had she said something wrong? Why was everyoneâs reaction so strange?
Why did Chen Huaying look like she wanted to eat her up? Why were the glances everyone turned her way filled with such suspicion?
When the front door opened and the cold wind blew in, Mr. Su suddenly stood up, his movements quick and not at all like those of an old man.
âMy granddaughter⊠my sweet granddaughter.â Mr. Suâs eyes brimmed with tears as he looked at Sheng Ning with intense excitement. He wanted to move closer but was afraid it wasnât real, afraid that raising his voice or moving too briskly might shatter this wonderful dream.
âIâm not your granddaughter,â Sheng Ning replied coldly.
