She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 882: Chapter 928: The Hai Family’s Deep Waters

Xu Xianxiong, unwilling to admit defeat, picked up his chopsticks and pointed at the glistening, tempting braised pork, asking, ”This is braised pork, right? Ningning must have known I love meat, so she made it especially for me.”

Sheng Ning nodded, ”This is Mao’s braised pork, which is said to be a dish from President Mao’s hometown.”

”I know, I know,” the old man said, his excitement palpable, ”I heard about this specialty dish back when I was following across the grasslands. Unfortunately, conditions were tough back then, where could we get meat!”

Sheng Ning placed the last dish on the table, looking at an empty seat beside her, ”Strange, why hasn’t An’an come back yet?”

”Yeah! Where’s An’an gone?”

”I sent her to deliver food to Grandpa Hai, it’s odd she’s not back yet. I’ll go check.” Sheng Ning took off her apron, ”You guys start eating, don’t wait for me.”

Su Hai stood up from his seat, ”I’ll go with you! What if Hai Lan or Song Huwen is also there, don’t want you guys to start a fight.”

The two went out together, and on the way, Sheng Ning asked curiously, ”How do you even know about Song Huwen?”

”Of course I know, there’s nothing I can’t find out about,” Su Hai said confidently. ”Let me tell you about Song Huwen, so you know your enemy and can win a hundred battles.”

Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow, ”Go ahead, tell me then!”

”Song Huwen’s father is the president of a small city in the South, and her mother is the adopted daughter of Mr. Hai. Her mother’s father died on the battlefield, so she was raised by Mr. Hai from a young age. So, Song Huwen’s identity is not simple, and she’s quite smart. I’ve heard she has a good reputation in the hospital.”

”Indeed! She’s the head nurse, and the youngest head nurse at that.”

Su Hai sneered, ”Who knows if that’s really true!”

As they walked and talked, they reached the entrance of the Hai Family. Su Hai suddenly stopped, his expression serious, ”In our compound, the Hai family has the most complexity, the deepest waters.”

”No way? I thought your family was the deepest.”

”What nonsense are you saying?” Su Hai feigned anger and gave her a small slap, hitting her lightly, not having the heart to use real force.

”Our Su Family is actually the simplest, though it seems calm on the surface, everyone is not simple. The Hai family is the most complex, with turbulence beneath a calm exterior. The surname Hai is extraordinary, as deep as the ocean, that’s how deep their waters are.”

They stood at the entrance of the Hai Family, Su Hai placed his hands in his pockets, squinting his eyes and sighing, ”Bao’er’s disappearance and Bao’er’s mom’s suicide were no coincidences.”

”It’s none of our business what happens to other families. Let’s go in and find An’an first.” Sheng Ning, noticing An’an hadn’t returned, felt increasingly uneasy.

”What are you afraid of? You’re worried someone could mess with us here,” Su Hai said dismissively, but he was already leading the way to knock on the door.

”Hello, President Su.” The person who opened the door was the old man’s assistant, who quickly welcomed them in upon seeing Su Hai.

”Haven’t you had dinner yet?”

”We’re eating, please come in.”

”Hmm, thank you!” Su Hai led Sheng Ning all the way to the dining room, where they saw Hai Lan and Hai Shuangjie eating at the table. ”Where’s the old man?”

”Xiao Hai is here! Sit down, have you eaten? If not, eat with us,” Hai Shuangjie greeted cordially. When he looked up and saw Sheng Ning following behind Su Hai, although he wasn’t fond of her due to their daughter’s issues, he still maintained proper etiquette.
