Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

58: Chapter 58 The Big Boss Makes His MoveIf one were to discuss who spent the most time with this young master of the Su Family and observed him most closely, it would undoubtedly be Uncle Fu.

Setting aside those romantic rumors, Su Bai truly lacked the arrogance and defiance common among typical playboys.

Toward everyone—whether the family’s servants, drivers, or Uncle Fu himself—he always maintained a basic, natural calmness, which was quite an anomaly among the second-generation heirs Uncle Fu had seen.

If Su Bai were truly the kind of young master who only knew how to bully others and lacked any refinement, Uncle Fu was certain he would have behaved as he did before the boy turned ten—sticking strictly to his duties, doing only what was required, never saying a word more, and certainly never taking the initiative to investigate any potential love rivals.

In a sense, it was Su Bai himself who, through his unique way of doing things, had quietly changed the old butler’s attitude of detached observation.

Su Zheng opened the folder, his eyes quickly scanning the pages.

After reading just two pages, his brows furrowed slightly, and his fingertip tapped on a certain column. ”Oh? He has a background as an overseas mercenary? His resume is quite impressive.”

”Yes,” Uncle Fu nodded in confirmation. ”He returned to the country through certain special channels, and his movements were somewhat concealed. He officially reported to the Young Master’s class this morning. According to our investigation, he was childhood neighbors with Miss Mu Xue, and their relationship... was once quite close.”

Su Zheng closed the folder and leaned back against the wide leather backrest, his gaze thoughtfully drifting out the window. He suddenly asked, ”In your opinion, how much of a place does that girl named Mu Xue hold in Xiao Bai’s heart? Or rather, is there any chance for her?”

Uncle Fu pondered for a moment and answered very cautiously, ”Miss Mu Xue is the woman the Young Master has maintained contact with for the longest time. However, how much of that is the Young Master’s own wish, and how much is because the media has been watching closely since last year’s incident, forcing the Young Master to be more restrained... I wouldn’t dare to say for certain.”

”Heh.”

Su Zheng suddenly chuckled and turned back to look at the old companion who had been with the Su Family for many years. The look behind his lenses held the clarity of someone who understood the world, with a hint of amusement.

”Does loving someone require so many reasons and considerations? Sometimes, a single moment or a habit is enough.” His words sounded like a simple question, yet also like a sigh of emotion.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu also showed a very faint, knowing smile. He bowed slightly and did not respond further.

Some things are best left partially said.

Some feelings are like drinking water; only the person knows if it’s cold or warm.

All he could do was use his abilities to clear away any potential thorns lurking in the shadows for the young master who had quietly earned his respect.

As for where the young master’s heart truly lay and what his ultimate choice would be, that was a matter for the young man himself.

Could Mu Xue rightfully enter the gates of the Su Family?

The answer to this question was actually already clear in Su Zheng’s mind.

Absolutely impossible.

Setting aside the insurmountable gap in family backgrounds, the mere label of being Su Bai’s kept woman meant she was destined never to be truly accepted by a family like the Su Family.

A daughter-in-law of the Su Family didn’t need to come from a top-tier background, but her history had to be clean and her reputation flawless.

This was a tacit rule of their circle and one of the thresholds the Su Family maintained for its image.

Su Zheng wasn’t so old-fashioned as to be heartless. The reason he turned a blind eye to his son’s relationship with Mu Xue was very pragmatic: there were never few girls around Su Bai, and Mu Xue was just one of them.

Young people dating or maintaining a certain relationship was harmless in his eyes.

But who would ultimately become the future mistress of the Su Family was not something Su Bai’s personal preferences could entirely decide.

Marriage, especially for the heir of the Su Family, had always been the result of a gamble between family will, balancing interests, and personal emotions.

Su Zheng was very clear about this.

He looked at the information about Xiao Fan in his hand, his eyes regaining the decisiveness of a family patriarch.

Uncle Fu’s reminder was not without merit; his son’s career had just started to pick up, and this was the time he needed to focus.

”You’re right,” Su Zheng spoke slowly.

”Xiao Bai has finally gotten on the right track; his mind should be used in the right places. Emotional troubles should be avoided whenever possible. This Xiao Fan...”

He paused, his fingertip tapping on the document. ”If he’s sensible and knows to keep his distance, then everyone can coexist peacefully and end things decently. If he’s not sensible and insists on causing unpleasantness...”

Uncle Fu stood quietly, waiting for him to continue.

”Then he shouldn’t expect a decent ending.” Su Zheng’s tone turned flat, yet it carried a chill. ”Follow the rules and ask him to leave. Keep the methods clean.”

”Master, according to the records, this Xiao Fan has some special connections overseas. Could it be...” Uncle Fu cautiously raised his concern.

”Connections?” Su Zheng sneered as if he had heard something childish, casually tossing the document aside.

”In A City, if someone doesn’t have a connection to the Su Corporation, can that even be called a connection? Besides, with that shady resume of his... since when did China become a place where mercenaries could just mess around? Handle it beautifully and cleanly, leaving no loose ends. I’ll take care of the necessary greetings.”

He no longer looked at the document, as if Xiao Fan was already just a minor obstacle that needed to be removed.

Then, he rummaged through his desk, pulled out a new document, and handed it to Uncle Fu. ”This, take it to Xiao Bai while you’re at it.”

”Yes, Master,” Uncle Fu replied respectfully, taking the document with both hands. ”Then I will go pick up Miss Lin Wan first before meeting up with the Young Master.”

”Go on.”

On the road from the Lin Family Villa.

The atmosphere inside the car was quiet.

Uncle Fu drove the vehicle steadily, his gaze occasionally glancing at the rearview mirror.

In the mirror, Lin Wan sat upright in the back seat, a carefully wrapped cake box beside her.

Her eyes flickered with anticipation and nervousness.

”Miss Lin Wan,” Uncle Fu’s voice broke the silence, his tone as respectful as ever. ”Should I take you to the reserved restaurant first, or shall we pick up the Young Master together? He should be coming out from President Lin’s place soon.”

”Let’s go pick him up together,” Lin Wan said immediately, with almost no hesitation.

”I told Zhou Feng and a few other classmates to head over first.”

After speaking, she seemed to remember something and leaned forward uncertainly, asking in a low voice, ”Uncle Fu, do you think what I’m wearing... should I go back and change? Is it too casual?”

She looked down at the dress she had carefully chosen after rushing home from school; at this moment, right before seeing Su Bai, she felt as if something wasn’t quite perfect.

Uncle Fu glanced at her through the rearview mirror and answered objectively, ”If we head back to change now, I’m afraid time will be a bit tight. Once the Young Master finishes his business, he’ll likely be leaving soon.”
