She Lives without Regret in This Life

Capítulo 794: Chapter 830: Uncle

Su Huai’an calmly poured water and nodded at Xiao Liu.

“Professor Su? You… What are you doing here?”

“Yingzi was thirsty, so I helped her pour a glass of water.”

“Okay! Thank you for the trouble.” Xiao Liu watched Su Huai’an go upstairs and took a long while to react. My goodness! The senior leader’s granddaughter finally has a boyfriend, and it’s the grandson of the neighbor, Old Su, the son of Chairman Meng, the President’s nephew. Who said Yingzi with her wild personality would never get married? In the entire district, who could match Su Huai’an’s excellence and family background?

None! Absolutely none.

Wait a minute… Are young people these days so open? They’re cohabiting even without being married? No, it’s not acceptable; tomorrow, I must speak with the senior leader. Even if they don’t get married, the marriage must be arranged to prevent Yingzi from being at a disadvantage.

Su Huai’an placed the water on Chen Huaying’s bedside table, then left simply through the front door, not forgetting to bring in some canned fruit for Xiao Liu.

Chen Huaying sat on the bed, staring at the cup of warm water for a long time without reacting, then pinched herself hard enough to make tears come. She then confirmed this wasn’t a dream, this wasn’t a dream, this was really happening.

Oh my! What idiocy had she just committed? What foolish words had she spoken? She’d rather die than be someone’s free bed-warmer.

For a week, Sheng Ning had been calling the War Wolf Rescue Team every day at a fixed time in the communication room, yet she never got news of Xu Qigang’s return.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry! Our captain isn’t just anyone; no one can match him. Also, it’s just a mundane task.” Zhou Hong reassured over the phone, “I heard it’s a landslide, and the captain is leading the disaster relief!”

“Oh! Well, when he returns, please remember to tell him I’m going down to the troops for a performance,” Sheng Ning instructed anxiously. The effects of the Shen Yu incident had subsided, and activities at the General Union gradually resumed.

The General Union Song and Dance Troupe’s next round of troop performances and morale-boosting visits would start tomorrow and would likely last a month, after which they would head to the Strategy Department. The captain had agreed to this beforehand, although Shen Yu had been arrested, everything at the Strategy Department continued as usual. It was said that Jiang Shaobo had now been promoted to Head of the Strategy Department.

“Rest assured, sister-in-law.”

“Thank you!” After hanging up, Sheng Ning stepped out of the communication room where Sun Gan was waiting outside. She sensed something amiss immediately—the first time she was taken to the Inspection Department, it was this Sun Gan.

“Hello Comrade Sheng Ning.”

“What is it?” Sheng Ning looked at him warily.

Sun Gan gave a wry smile, saying that if he had any regrets in life, it was capturing Sheng Ning; he had truly been blind. If he had known this was the Director’s niece, he wouldn’t have dared.

“Our Vice President is waiting for you in the reception room.”

“The Vice President?” Sheng Ning asked in confusion, “Which vice president?”

“It’s your uncle, Director Su.”

“Oh!” She nodded in realization, not surprised at all. Su Huili truly lived up to his name; it hadn’t been long since his transfer to the Trade Union Mansion, and he had already been promoted to Vice President. His political future was certainly bright, from Vice President to President, a standing committee member of the municipal committee, all the way up to the province. In her previous life, when she died, Su Hai was already the President, with outstanding political achievements.

“Sheng Ning,” Wu Youli rushed over, “someone has been looking for you, waiting for ages!”

“Who is it?”

“Your husband’s friend.”

Hearing this, Sheng Ning pulled Wu Youli along to leave, but Sun Gan hastily stopped her, “Comrade Sheng Ning, your uncle is still waiting for you!”

“Let him keep waiting.”
