She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 903: Chapter 949: Determined to Stir Up Trouble

”Are you determined to cause trouble?” Su Huai’an frowned.

”Hehehe...” She giggled foolishly, refusing to admit, ”No way, Hai Lan used to be my friend after all. Of course, I should go see her and show some concern and comfort.”

Su Huai’an twitched the corner of his mouth, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He turned around and pulled Chen Huaying out, then closed the door behind him.

”I’m leaving now.” He said, not waiting for Chen Huaying to react, and turned around to go downstairs.

”Strange, why didn’t he scold me or stop me?” Chen Huaying stood in the corridor watching his handsome and upright figure gradually walk away, puzzled and scrunching her nose.

Whenever she tried to stir up trouble before, Su Huai’an would always stop her like a nagging mom. Unable to persuade her, he would resort to scheming like a sly fox.

Is he being unusually generous today? Never mind, she’ll contact some people first. If she doesn’t confront Hai Lan today, Hai Lan won’t know what she’s capable of.

Over at the General Union Courtyard, the assistant hung up the phone, and Mr. Su asked, ”Who called?”

”Old leader, it was Huai’an calling to understand the situation.”

”How did that kid find out while still at school?”

”Probably got the info from the school leadership.”

Xu Xianxiong and Zhao Lanzi sat anxiously across from Mr. Su. Every time a call came in, they would both look over simultaneously without any prior agreement.

Since the incident happened, there have been no less than ten calls back and forth.

Zhao Lanzi looked at Mr. Su, secretly worried, understanding the vague meanings in the recent call, though she roughly got the gist of it.

Is this what the books describe as a power play?

Zhao Lanzi felt a bit heartbroken for her son, who, without power or influence, had made it to this point purely on his abilities. It must not have been easy, right?

Mr. Su’s eyes were sharp, instantly understanding who among the couple was truly a heavyweight. Noticing Zhao Lanzi’s worried expression, he coughed lightly and explained, ”Xiao Zhao, don’t worry. Qigang is genuinely talented. The rescue world needs him, and many things aren’t as complicated as you might think; they’re actually quite simple.”

”Then... what’s with all the fuss today?” Zhao Lanzi hesitated to speak too bluntly, but her point was clear enough.

The fuss today wasn’t something easily explainable.

”Today, well, it actually has nothing to do with the rescue world,” Mr. Su said. ”It’s mainly a little squabble among a few of our relatives. It’s quite normal for the younger generation to not see eye to eye. Even in rural areas, isn’t it common for neighbors to have a fight now and then?”

Xu Xianxiong was half-convinced, ”Is it really like that?”

”Exactly. The reason it’s hard for you to accept is because the involved individuals carry significant weight, hence the grand appearance now. But essentially, it’s just bickering, not even close to fighting.”

One must admit, Mr. Su’s ability to lie with a straight face was adeptly refined.

The assistant turned away, avoiding looking or listening.

”Ningning just called earlier. An’an is fine; it’s all a misunderstanding. Have your dinner before you go.”

”It’s good they’re fine. Awfully relieved it was just a scare.”

”Old man, we should still visit the hospital! We’d only disturb your rest here,” Zhao Lanzi stood up again, wanting to leave. In truth, she was anxious to go at the time, but Mr. Su refused to let them go.

They were well aware that if anything happened, they wouldn’t be much help and might even cause more trouble, so they stayed here waiting for news.

Mr. Su hurriedly stopped them.

”Really, there’s no need. We’re also worried about Ningning and the others. Since they’ve returned to the hospital, there’s no point in us staying any longer. If it’s inconvenient for you here, we’ll head back ourselves.”
