Chapter 250: Chapter 255: A Fortuitous Encounter at the Door Chapter 250: Chapter 255: A Fortuitous Encounter at the Door Walking out from the General Union Courtyard, a few of them pulled their cotton-padded jackets tighter around themselves. As they exited the main gate, a brand new sedan was driving in.
The six also stopped to wave hello by the side of the road.
Everyone spontaneously thought of the encounter with Su Hai when they had come in, feeling a mischievous urge to laugh, but before the thought fully formed, the sedan stopped right in front of them.
The smiles on their six faces instantly froze, and their moods became even more tense as the car window slowly descended.
Especially for Sheng Ning, Wu Youli, and Zhang Hongmei, this glaring class divide made their inner aversion deeply uncomfortable.
Even Liu Yilan was slightly furrowing her brow.
Chen Huaying stood at the forefront, posture ramrod straight. She recognized the car—it belonged to the Chairman of the Provincial Rescue Center, Meng Xingzhi. Not just her, even her father and grandfather would have to be courteous.
But it was not necessarily Chairman Meng Xingzhi sitting inside; sometimes, Su Yun would use this car when she visited her parents’ home.
Thinking about it, the person she was respectfully greeting was Su Yun; Chen Huaying’s mouth very subtly turned up in a rebellious curve.
Finally, the car window lowered completely, revealing the still-charming face of the woman in the back seat.
“Hello, Leader Su!” Chen Huaying called out loudly and energetically.
The others recognized Su Yun too, the leader of the Qianjin Dance Troupe, who always held their General Union Dance Troupe down firmly; it was hard not to know her.
The several people greeted her in unison.
Su Yun gave Chen Huaying a reserved smile, completely ignoring the others’ greetings without a glance.
“Visiting home with friends?”
“Yes, Aunt Su!” The two families were on good terms, and privately, Chen Huaying called her “Aunt.”
“Why are you still out so late?”
“The General Union hasn’t given us a holiday,” Chen Huaying scratched her head.
“For you, isn’t it a matter of leaving whenever you want?” Su Yun chuckled softly, her smile confident and composed.
“Heh heh heh… Look at you, talking. I’m a good comrade who abides by discipline,” Chen Huaying joked. “You better hurry in! Tonight Uncle Su Hai and Su Huai’an are both back.”
“Huai’an is back too?” Su Yun’s eyes lit up; she truly liked and admired this nephew. Even Xingzhi praised him endlessly, and last time he talked about inviting Huai’an over to their house. If Meng Ping could follow Huai’an’s lead and make good progress, she would be even happier.
“Yes, exactly! We all had dinner together today!” Chen Huaying nodded hastily, hoping she would go soon.
She was sitting comfortably inside the car while the others were standing on the roadside in the heavy snow—freezing to death!
“Alright then! Remember to come over to our house next time!”
Su Yun signaled the driver to move on, and the black Hongqi car slowly drove away. Seated in the back, Su Yun’s peripheral vision unintentionally swept over Sheng Ning who stood at the back of the group, causing her brow to suddenly throb uncontrollably.
“Stop the car!” she called out instinctively.
The driver slammed on the brakes, “Lady, what’s wrong?”
Su Yun felt a sudden and inexplicable panic. She clutched at her chest, even feeling as if her heart might leap out.
She looked back toward the car, Chen Huaying had already led the group out of the General Union Courtyard, walking farther and farther away.
Su Yun wanted to ask the driver to reverse, but then thought that such behavior would be silly.
“Lady, are you alright?” The driver asked with concern, seeing her pale complexion.
