Moreover, she had a man she liked at the time.

So why did she make that choice? Was it because she coveted the Jiang family's wealth, or was she forced into it?

Over the years, Mo Wan has kept a low profile and been docile, so no one paid much attention to her, not even Old Madam Jiang.

Until Jiang Yun went to prison, Jiang Chengwei died, and Old Madam Jiang fell ill, Mo Wan suddenly appeared.

These things seem insignificant on the surface, but when you think about them together, they all seem to be preparing for Mo Wan to take control of the Jiang family. Moreover, she was smart enough not to be an enemy of the Xu family. When she failed to get an audience with Old Master Xu, she immediately tried to curry favor with Su Xincheng!

"Ningning, what you asked her about, did something happen?"

"She's come to settle scores with you again because of Jiang Chengwei?"

Jiang Chengwei's death has nothing to do with Su Ning, but given Old Madam Jiang's temper, she will definitely try to get involved with Su Ning.

"No!"

Su Ning shook her head and looked at Su Xincheng, whose eyes were full of worry for her, and asked, "Mom, you should see her less often."

Su Xincheng was no match for Mo Wan.

No one knows what Mo Wan's purpose was in suddenly contacting Su Xincheng.

"Mm!" Su Xincheng nodded. She didn't like the Jiang family and had never intended to meet Mo Wan.

Even the best relationships from the past have faded over the years.

"Ningning, don't worry, I'll listen to you." Su Xincheng smiled ingratiatingly at Su Ning. "By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Su Xincheng stayed at Su Ning's place and spent every night thinking about what to cook for her and Gu Jingchen.

Su Xincheng's cooking skills are really good.

"Anything is fine." Su Ning nodded, then remembered the message Xu Bai had just sent, "My brother is coming too."

"Great!" Su Xincheng was even more delighted. She turned to go into the kitchen to see what dishes she could make to please Ningning and Xu Bai.

"He might come along too."

As Su Xincheng walked to the kitchen door, she heard Su Ning add, "He's my dad, I can't refuse."

Su Ning expressed her helplessness.

When Su Xincheng heard Su Ning say that Xu Sheng would come along, she did not want to agree.

She didn't want to see Xu Sheng.

However, upon hearing Su Ning's helplessness, she could only grit her teeth and console herself.

Oh well, it's like a "dog" has come to our house.

That evening, Xu Sheng and Xu Bai came over for dinner. Su Xincheng was overjoyed to see Xu Bai.

With my daughter and son both around, there's bound to be one extra person.

She ignored Xu Sheng, invited Xu Bai to sit down, and then turned and went into the kitchen.

As she ladled the food from the pot, she heard footsteps behind her. Thinking it was Xu Bai or Gu Jingchen, she handed the plate over without much thought.

"Then, take it to the dining table."

She reached out her fingers and steadily caught the plate. Su Xincheng looked up and saw Xu Sheng's extremely beautiful face.

She paused for a moment, recalling the first time she saw Xu Sheng playing the piano outside the classroom. Just that one glance had captivated her, just like the other girls.

At the time, I thought, how could there be such a wonderful man in this world!

I wonder what he'll be like when he gets old!

He is now older, but his appearance remains unchanged. As the head of the Xu family, he exudes a mature charm and a sense of pressure that comes with being in a position of power.

Su Xincheng was even more afraid of men like that.

"Um!"

Xu Sheng responded softly, then turned and carried the plate to the dining room outside.

He quickly came back in and watched Su Xincheng cook. He was stunned when he saw her hands churning the pot.
