Chapter 241: Chapter 245: Visiting as a Guest Chapter 241: Chapter 245: Visiting as a Guest “Yingzi, is this your friend?” a tall, thin comrade asked with a smile.
“Exactly! I invited them to come play at my house!”
“Well, let’s register them!” It’s 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 Hai’s handsome and elegant face.
Sheng Ning’s face turned green—why did she bump into him no matter where she went? Was she cursed?
“Uncle Su!” Chen Huaying moved quickly, greeting him respectfully.
“Inviting friends over to play?”
“Yes!” Chen Huaying was as docile as a little white rabbit; ever since she was little, she wasn’t 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 you’d still help him count the money!
“Your parents aren’t home, what’s so fun about that?”
Chen Huaying scratched her head, stammering a bit, “My grandpa is home.”
“You’re planning to play with your grandpa?” Su Hai’s voice sounded chilling, causing the others to shiver unanimously.
“Uncle Su, you really have a sense of humor… haha…” Chen Huaying scratched her head, her smile stiffening.
“Uncle Su, shall we go inside first?” Always blocking the entrance wasn’t a solution either!
“Why don’t you bunch of kids stop causing trouble while the adults are away and just come to our house!” Su Hai nodded, quite pleased with his decision.
“Okay!” 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, “Chen Huaying, why did you agree?” She wanted to stay as far away from Su Hai as possible.
“Are you crazy? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” Chen Huaying rubbed her hands excitedly, speaking softly, “Our compound is home to so many leaders it’s 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 there’s also Su Huai’an from their family, a university professor who graduated and returned from Xilin University in M Country.”
In those times, there were very few noble families allowed to send someone abroad, and Su Huai’an was one such special existence. He wasn’t 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 Huai’an in her heart since she was young.
“I don’t want to have any involvement with them, let alone cling to anyone’s coattails.” Sheng Ning’s 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?
“Never mind that! Let’s go to my place first, and after we’ve eaten, we’ll go see Old Sir Su.” Having agreed not to visit, she didn’t have the guts to back out now, unless she didn’t want to get ahead in life.
Since they couldn’t 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.
“Wow! This place is so big, so beautiful,” Zhang Hongmei was spellbound, “It’s like our countryside, except there’s no mud on the ground!”
