This seemingly ordinary step, yet filled with so much caution, evoked a pang of heartache in Xu Xiusen's eyes.

Xu Moran is his biological daughter, and his granddaughter. All of this should belong to her, so why is she being so cautious?

My heart aches!

Xu Xiusen was a man who doted on his daughter. Once he felt heartache, you could imagine his reaction. He opened the passenger door and said softly to Xu Moran, "Momo, get in."

Xu Moran pursed her lips and hesitated, then said, "I think I'll pass."

Xu Xiusen emphasized to her again in a tone that left her no room for discussion or hesitation: "Get in the car now!"

Xu Moran is not Zhang Yuanyuan; she is definitely not someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. The reason she got into the car based on Xu Xiusen's tone was entirely because Xu Xiusen really gave her the feeling of a father.

As an individual, she could refuse anyone who spoke to her in a commanding tone, but as a daughter, she had no way to refuse what her father said.

Even though she always saw herself only as Xu Xiusen's goddaughter.

When she sat in the passenger seat, she could feel that Zhang Yuanyuan's gaze was not just unfriendly, it was as if she wanted to kill her with a look.

Even if Xu Moran wasn't a police officer, given her experience growing up in an orphanage, she certainly wouldn't be afraid of Zhang Yuanyuan.

The reason she didn't want to be like her was partly because of how good Xu Xiusen was to her, and partly because of the fact that the deputy was... ill.

She turned her back to Zhang Yuanyuan in the back seat.

Even though Zhang Yuanyuan was furious and about to explode inside, she held back her anger in front of Xu Xiusen. Who did Xu Moran think he was, daring to steal her thunder?

They really think she's been a pampered heiress all these years for nothing? When it comes to scheming and tactics, she's no less capable.

Soon, her sobs filled the carriage. "Grandma, wake up! You took me home from the orphanage twenty years ago, and we've only had twenty happy years together. You can't leave me alone in this world!"

This tearful outburst, seemingly about the deep bond between grandmother and granddaughter, was actually a way of telling Xu Xiusen that Zhang Yuanyuan was his biological daughter, not the Xu Moran beside him!

Xu Xiusen was incredibly cunning; he deliberately didn't interrupt her, letting her act emotionally, always putting on an act as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

Seeing Xu Xiusen's indifferent attitude, Zhang Yuanyuan became even angrier. Instead of investigating why Xu Xiusen treated her this way, she blamed all the fault on Xu Moran.

She believed that Xu Moran had instigated Xu Xiusen, which was why he remained unmoved by her emotional pleas.

Xu Moran felt two gazes falling on her back, wishing they could dig holes in her back. She swallowed hard, turned her head, and quickly glanced at the interior mirror.

It happened so fast that Zhang Yuanyuan didn't even realize she was watching before she looked away.

In fact, her quick glance wasn't directed at Zhang Yuanyuan.

For some reason, she was very worried about the deputy... even though she was just an old lady who had nothing to do with her, she always kept her in her heart.

Even though her profession gives her more compassion than the average person, she has never been so overflowing with compassion.

Completely baffled, he couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.

Her subtle expression did not escape Xu Xiusen's notice, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This was the power of blood ties; genuine concern was innate.

The car quickly arrived at the nearby hospital. When the deputy was carried off on a stretcher, Zhang Yuanyuan not only didn't help him, but instead glared at Xu Moran fiercely.

Xu Xiusen also saw this subtle movement clearly.

He sneered, "Mo Mo, you're just too kind. There are a lot of people in this world who are used to climbing up and stepping on the low. If someone slaps them, they'll slap them back hard right then and there."

Xu Moran, "..."

She never expected that Xu Xiusen, who was not only refined in appearance but also in front of her, would say such a thing.

Seeing the surprise on Xu Moran's face, Xu Xiusen knew he had frightened her. He paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, if the one that bites is a mad dog, we don't need to bite back."

Xu Moran remained silent.

Zhang Yuanyuan was so angry with Xu Xiusen that her chest heaved violently, and the heart beating on the left side of her chest almost jumped out of her throat.

She was furious. What kind of magic potion did Xu Moran give Xu Xiusen to make him so obedient? All the groundwork she laid, including calling the deputy to the scene, was to let him know that she, Zhang Yuanyuan, was his biological daughter.

Just as he was seething with anger, the deputy... had already been wheeled into the emergency room. Soon, the doctor in charge of the resuscitation came out of the emergency room and asked the door, "The patient needs a blood transfusion immediately. Which of you is her immediate family member and can go and draw blood for testing right away?"

As soon as the doctor said that, Zhang Yuanyuan's expression became noticeably more varied. After several colors appeared alternately, she said to the doctor, "I am her own granddaughter. Wouldn't it be faster to just use blood from your hospital's blood bank?"

The doctor frowned as he looked at Zhang Yuanyuan, and said in an unpleasant tone, "If our hospital's blood bank had enough blood, I wouldn't be standing in front of you wasting my breath!"

These days, doctors don't seem to have very good tempers.

If Zhang Yuanyuan hadn't remembered that Xu Xiusen was right there, she would have already started arguing with the doctor. With Xu Xiusen around, she had to pretend to be quiet and gentle.
