"Did you comprehend?" Hai Shen asked impatiently.
"I did, cousin. Rest assured, I won’t cause any trouble for our family," Hai Lan inhaled deeply, swallowing her resentment and put on an obedient facade.
"Very good! Grandfather and Uncle will surely be pleased."
Hai Shen initially did not want to be too harsh as he was not despicable enough to deliberately expose someone’s wounds. But being soft had no use with this girl—the Su Family had already notified all connections this morning. At this time, anyone who dared to offend Sheng Ning was declaring war against Mr. Su, Su Hai, Su Jiang, and even the entire Su Family.
Moreover, Su Huai’an had already driven Grandfather’s personal car to the hospital to pick someone up in the afternoon.
If one couldn’t see the Su Family’s stance from this, there was no point in meeting anymore.
On the matter of their granddaughter, the Su Family behaved almost like mad dogs. It was said that Su Hai nearly wreaked havoc in Liyang County.
The Hai Family certainly did not wish to offend the Su Family over a trivial matter.
Hai Lan followed Hai Shen as they walked out of the General Union Courtyard, and at the gate, they happened to meet Sheng Ning and Chen Huaying getting out of a red flag sedan.
Hai Lan’s eyes widened instantly, staring dumbfounded at the red flag sedan in front, as jealousy wildly sprouted in her heart.
This type of personal car was only available to a few in the district; her grandfather had one too, yet she had never been allowed to ride in it.
Why could Sheng Ning? Why?
Hai Shen stopped and took the initiative to greet Su Huai’an.
"Wait a moment!" Su Huai’an, busy opening the car door for Sheng Ning, hurriedly nodded. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"
Sheng Ning kept a cold face, utterly uninterested in responding.
All the way, Su Huai’an kept asking questions, annoying her immensely. Even showing a cold face did not deter his enthusiasm, and finally, she had to pretend not to see or hear.
Sheng Ning ignored him, but Su Huai’an was not offended and smiled warmly, every bit the gentleman.
"Brother Huai’an, thank you!" Chen Huaying did not dare to truly offend him and quickly thanked him. After finishing speaking, she turned towards Hai Lan, flashing a provoking smile.
"How come you got out of the Detention Room so quickly? Did Hai Shen personally come to pick you up? Having backing is great, no matter how big the mess, there’s always someone to bail you out, Qin Cuifen is still locked up!" Chen Huaying was sharp-tongued and did not leave any face for the Hai Family.
The reason why Qin Cuifen had managed to fight with Liu Yilan and dare to be so ruthless had something to do with Hai Lan stirring trouble in the middle.
"Chen Huaying, what nonsense are you spouting?" Hai Lan was nearly driven mad by rage, but with her cousin right there, she couldn’t say anything. She still had to force herself to move forward, approach Sheng Ning, and apologize.
"Sheng Ning, I am sorry, I was wrong. I should not have blindly believed others. You won’t hold it against me, right?"
"I will!" Sheng Ning coldly spat out a word, her gaze icy as she looked at Su Huai’an and Hai Shen, her red lips curling into a sardonic arc. "Having power and influence is indeed great!"
Hai Shen’s expression shifted slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed as his backdoor use of privilege was openly spoken.
Su Huai’an promptly declared, "Ningning, you also have power and influence! Whenever you want to use it, I am always supportive of you."
Sheng Ning was speechless, wasn’t Su Huai’an’s demeanor all wrong? In her past life, she had heard about him, the youngest professor at National Security University. Indifferent, aloof, yet gentle and elegant.
