She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 676: Chapter 705: Quickly Call Me Uncle

“I’m your uncle; how can you secretly curse your elders?” Su Hai got out of the car with suave grace and opened the door for her.

“I’m not married so technically, I’m still not an adult. Logically, I’m the elder here.” Sheng Ning glanced at him and got out of the car herself. In the countryside, whether one is considered an adult depends on whether they’re married—only those who have married and had children are considered adults. This is also why rural people marry so early.

Su Hai stared at her, dumbfounded, until the hearty laughter of Su Huai’an came, and he shook his head reluctantly.

“Hahaha… Little uncle, you’re still not married, even Ningning despises you.” Because the New Year was just a few days away, the entire courtyard was bustling with festive spirits. Hanging behind Su Huai’an were large red lanterns which made him look even more handsome.

Su Hai swung his fist, “You little rascal, looking for a beating?”

“Would you dare hit me?” Su Huai’an showed a side he had never shown before, and Su Hai really couldn’t do anything to him.

“Fine, your backer is here, I really have no way.” Su Hai closed the car door and called for Sheng Ning, “Don’t just stand there!”

“Oh, oh…” Sheng Ning still wasn’t fond of the current situation and followed Su Hai inside, only to see Mr. Su having tea with a very stern-looking man, discussing something.

Sheng Ning had never seen Su Jiang, but the man before her fit perfectly with what she had imagined—a stern, imposing figure, tall, and though middle-aged, he stood very straight. He and Su Hai were brothers, but their personalities and the way they made others feel were completely different.

Su Hai was the fox, then he was the mighty, imposing lion.

On the Southern Border Battlefield, he had commanded the troops to the enemy’s lair; for the S-country mission, he had prepared beforehand. Such a leader was truly difficult not to respect or admire.

Watching Sheng Ning’s subtle expressions, Su Hai felt a bit sour inside. Alas… he knew his niece would definitely like his older brother more, his position as a little uncle was doomed.

If he had a chance to do things over again, he would be doubly nice to Ningning the first time he met her, completely winning her over instead of letting his brother always play the nice guy and win her heart.

“Ningning is here?” Mr. Su looked a bit haggard but lit up at the sight of Sheng Ning, completely ignoring his son and warmly motioning her to come sit.

“Grand… Grandpa!” Sheng Ning hesitated before slowly calling out.

“Come, come sit!”

She obediently moved forward and sat on the old man’s right. On the left was Su Jiang, who showed a kindly smile on his stern face.

“Let me introduce you, this is your elder uncle.”

“Hello!” Sheng Ning quickly stood up and bowed to Su Jiang.

“Really showing favoritism!” Su Hai muttered under his breath, “Just because big brother helped Xu Qigang once, she’s so polite to him!”

“Little uncle, better hold your tongue, or grandpa might hit you again.”

Anyway, Su Hai’s status at home had sharply declined recently, to the point it was even lower than that of an assistant and the doctor.

“Quick, call him Uncle!”

Mr. Su looked at Sheng Ning expectantly; she hardly had time to think, or rather, felt too shy to hesitate.

“Uncle, hello!” She changed her greeting obediently.

Su Hai and Su Huai’an nearly hugged each other and cried. Why? Why was Ningning willing to call grandpa and elder uncle, but not little uncle and cousin?

It wasn’t fair, it was too unfair.

Su Jiang laughed joyfully and secretly glared at his brother and son, then turned to Sheng Ning, “Not bad, not bad at all! I heard that the suggestion for cold-weather gear was yours?”
