Chapter 45: She doesn’t want to come back?
Although it was somewhat inexplicable, his accurate sixth sense made him gradually lower his voice.
“You’re particularly talkative today.”
At that remark, Qin Feng immediately stepped back two paces.
“President Fu, you’ve misunderstood; I’ve always been a man of few words.”
Watching Fu Qiyuan’s departing figure, Qin Feng expressed his profound sorrow.
With Miss Su around, President Fu had started to find him annoying!
Indeed, being the top Special Assistant was no easy feat.
The Su Family lived in a high-end villa district in the eastern part of the city.
When Gu Heng took Su Xinyan home, almost the entire Su Family was present.
Wen Peipei, Su Hongde, Tan Lirong.
As Su Xinyan and Gu Heng walked into the living room, smiles of happiness appeared on everyone’s faces.
“Grandma, Mom, Dad.” Su Xinyan greeted the three with polite sensibility.
Su Hongde looked satisfactorily at his youngest daughter; though a bit temperamental, she was well-behaved, understanding, and empathetic.
“Grandma, Uncle, Auntie.”
Upon seeing Gu Heng, Wen Peipei, who was usually stern, had a rare touch of kindness on her face.
This was the grandson-in-law she favored.
“Gu Heng is here, take a seat, don’t stand.”
The man nodded slightly and, holding Su Xinyan’s hand, walked over to sit on the sofa opposite the three.
“Xinyan, how did it go? Did you see your sister?” asked Tan Lirong, barely able to wait, her impatience evident.
At her words, Su Xinyan’s expression darkened, and she bit her lip in grievance, speaking softly:
“I’m sorry, Grandma, I… my sister, she…”
On hearing this, Wen Peipei’s face suddenly darkened, and she said coldly:
“She doesn’t want to come back?”
Su Xinyan nodded slightly, her face filled with even greater guilt.
“My sister is quite upset with me; she didn’t take what I said… Grandma, please don’t worry yet, I’ll talk to her again once she’s calmed down.”
She spoke softly, but her face bore a bitter and helpless look.
Wen Peipei’s expression grew even more somber.
“This scourge is defying heaven; does she even regard us elders anymore?”
Su Xinyan managed a slight smile, her voice carrying concern:
“Grandma, if Sister is unwilling to come back tomorrow, then we…”
At this, Wen Peipei’s face turned utterly cold.
“She doesn’t have the choice not to come back. I have my ways to deal with her. Enough about her, Xinyan, for Old Master Qin’s seventieth birthday banquet next week, you’ll need an extra invitation.”
Hearing this, Su Xinyan looked obedient and nodded gently, her voice soft:
“Is it for Sister? I understand, Grandma.”
Seeing Su Xinyan’s sensible and compliant manner, Wen Peipei was very pleased, her face full of kind and tender love.
Afterward, she turned to Gu Heng, who had been silent by her side, and said:
“Gu Heng, you’ll accompany Xinyan.”
At those words, a dash of shyness instantly painted Su Xinyan’s beautiful face. Biting her lip gently, she stole a glance at the handsome man beside her and blushed, bowing her head.
Her coy demeanor touched Gu Heng’s heart, and his eyes immediately filled with deep affection and indulgence.
“Don’t worry, Grandma, I understand,” he assured her.
Wen Peipei nodded in satisfaction, her eyes sparkling with a hint of amusement as she saw Su Xinyan’s bashful face.
Gu Heng’s words made Su Xinyan almost cry tears of joy.
She could finally be with Brother Heng legitimately!
For years, despite knowing Brother Heng had her in his heart, Su Ran had always been by his side.
