It was evening.
After spending a day and a night with her grandfather at the hospital, Su Xiaoxiao reluctantly went home with Nangong Yi.
Actually, being able to stay by her grandfather's side for so long was already a luxury for her, but when it came to going back like this, she started to feel reluctant.
Nangong Yi looked at his wife, who was sitting silently beside him, and gently took her small hand in his. When she gave him a sad smile, he sighed with heartache.
"Xiaoxiao, I will definitely keep my promise to you. Even if Grandpa goes to France, I will take you to visit him often."
"Does Brother Jin mean to take Grandpa to France?" Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback.
She had found Nangong Yi's behavior of reassuring her to stay in the ward strange, and when he suddenly mentioned the word 'France', an ominous premonition immediately welled up in her heart.
Nangong Yi quickly glanced back at her, then slowed down while carefully explaining the matter of the Luo Group and the three members of the Su family to her.
"He's pretty much taken care of things here, and besides, this isn't really his 'territory' anyway. Your grandfather's continued stay in the hospital isn't good for his recovery, so he made this decision after much deliberation. Now that the three members of the Su family have been apprehended, his mission is..."
"Did Brother Jin say these things?"
Before Nangong Yi could finish explaining, Su Xiaoxiao immediately interrupted him, her unease deepening.
Even though all of this was expected, she still couldn't bear to be separated from her loved ones.
Su Xiaoxiao's heart clenched at the thought of her grandfather's current health condition.
"Do we really have to go back to France?"
"Xiaoxiao, you should know very well why Shan Jinxi suddenly came back. Now that he has finished what he needed to do and dealt with the trivial matters of the Su Group, he will operate the Su Group remotely."
Nangong Yi knew that what he was saying was a bit cruel, and he suddenly understood why Shan Jinxi didn't want to tell her in advance. He tightened his grip on his wife's hand.
"Xiaoxiao, all good things must come to an end. Besides, France isn't far away. Whenever you want to go, I can take you there right away."
"I see."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded sullenly, and at that moment she turned her gaze to the outside of the car window.
Nangong Yi remained silent. He knew Su Xiaoxiao would understand this, but she needed some time to process it.
The couple arrived home shortly afterward.
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao entered the room, she went upstairs and locked herself in the study. Nangong Yi guessed that she was going to send an email to Shan Jinxi, so he simply didn't go in.
"Young Master, Master and Madam came today. Madam bought a lot of tonics for Young Madam, and Master also asked someone to buy top-grade bird's nest from abroad for Young Madam."
Seeing that Nangong Yi and Su Xiaoxiao's expressions were not quite right, the old butler assumed it was because of what happened at the Luo Group that morning, so he quickly told them about the visit of Nangong Xuyang and his wife that afternoon.
“Young Master, Madam also said that the Luo family and the Nangong family have long since lost their relationship. The young mistress of the Nangong family is ‘Su Xiaoxiao,’ who has no relation to Luo Yutong.”
"Um."
Nangong Yi naturally knew Zhong Yajing's thoughts; otherwise, she wouldn't have repeatedly shown goodwill towards Su Xiaoxiao.
He glanced at the unusually cautious servants in the house today, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Dinner will be served later tonight. I'll go upstairs to check on Xiaoxiao first."
"yes."
